Chị Kim and another female assistant (sorry I did not get her name) were very friendly and professional. I get a lot of anxiety before dental procedures and had a bad experience done by another person. Dr. Tien was very careful and helped ease my fears. He also mentioned that they will be implementing laser technology to target cavities sometime next year so less invasive and definitely gives patients like me peace of mind. The stand alone building itself is easy to locate and there's plenty of parking which is unheard of in North Park! There is also a beautiful mural done on the wall facing the parking lot :) Lastly, there is a grocery store across the street called "North Park Produce" that sells produce, fresh baked flat breads daily, and various prepared Middle Eastern food. I recommend the spicy hummus. Always a must after getting a cleaning done at Boulevard Dental :). Thank you for reading, and happy holidays

I can't say enough good things about Zak Dental. From the moment you walk in, the entire office has…read moresuch a friendly, upbeat, and genuinely fun atmosphere. Everyone is smiling, laughing, and clearly enjoys working together, which makes going to the dentist so much more enjoyable. I originally switched to Zak Dental because it was closer to where I worked, but I've since realized I'm staying because it's simply the best--not because it's the most convenient. Dr. La did my teeth whitening and prepared my teeth for my upcoming double front tooth crowns. She was incredibly attentive, thorough, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I also have to give a huge shoutout to Frankie, who assisted Dr. La and made my temporary crowns. I've had temporary crowns before, and they're usually treated as "good enough" since you'll only wear them for a couple of weeks. Not here. Frankie noticed the temporary shade didn't match my newly whitened teeth and, without hesitation, remade them. She even took the time to fill in a small chip so they looked even better than before. The result is absolutely beautiful, and honestly, I hope my permanent crowns look just like these. As important as great dental work is, I think being kind and personable is almost just as valuable. Everyone in the office has a wonderful sense of humor, and they make every visit feel relaxed and enjoyable. They somehow make sitting in the dental chair feel like you're hanging out with friends. If you're looking for a dental office that combines exceptional skill with genuinely caring, fun people, I highly recommend Zak Dental.

I have lived a life of severe dental anxiety causing me to not see a dentist for decades. I thought…read morethis was "fine" until i started experiencing serious pain in a molar that had broken, along with some new sensitivity in some very old fillings. The reality set in that I couldn't hide behind my dental anxiety any longer. I reached out to Dr. McClanahan and set up an appointment. Even setting foot in the office was causing heart palpitations. I had no idea what to expect! I have read online that some dentists shame patients for neglecting care, or how some just don't care if you're anxious. My mind was full of all kinds of interesting thoughts and fears. I told him and his staff that I am anxious, and they treated me with extra care and explained everything along the way. After some x-rays and a consultation, I needed an extraction and some fillings! Yikes. It was kind of a shock, although I knew I'd need some extensive work. I also knew that my years of dental fear had finally caught up to me. Fast forward to today, and I have had my extraction and I just completed my fillings. Thanks to Dr. McClanahan and his team, their calming and reassuring attitudes, and the power of oral conscious sedation, I've had my dental issues resolved and I have made serious progress toward my life-long dental anxiety. I went in today to have my bite adjusted after the fillings, and I have to say I was not even anxious stepping into the office and hearing and feeling the adjustment of my fillings taking place. I've even scheduled my next cleaning. For once I am living pain-free and worry-free. I put it off for so long. I didn't know life could be this way. If you're like me, and have suffered with dental anxiety, just know that it sounds impossible but you can live a pain-free, anxiety-free life, thanks to Dr. McClanahan and his amazing team.

So, today is a visit that is way past due. I have a fear of dentists. I have had several…read moreexperiences and tooth sensitivity that has caused this fear. Well, today, the staff greeted me upon arrival. I was checked in and then asked to wait in the patient waiting room. The waiting room is clean, quiet, and calming before a visit. There is event a purified water dispenser with little cups for filling up. The dental technician/asst named Abby called my name for my appointment to begin. She greeted me and then she roomed me. Once in the room, she took internal photos of my teeth and mouth, gave me a blood pressure wristband , and also administered the saliva bacteria test/lab. I got the results within 10-15 mins on my online Dental MyChart record, they are quick here! Abby then received permission from the dentist to take me to get my x-rays. They have a standup machine that's like taking an oral CT Scan 360° photo of your mouth. Then we had the regular dental x-rays where you have to bite down on the trays with the xray manual camera. I really thought it was cool because they also offered to clean my orthodontic retainer while I was here. It literally took only 15 or 20 minutes and it has been cleaner than I've ever seen it since I got it 7-8 years ago. Thanks! Once done with all of my intake tasks, I was able to meet my new dentist, Dr Wu. I explained to her my concerns, and she was very good about examining my mouth and being gentle as well as giving me all of the information that I needed during her exam. I have to say this is probably the best dentist I've ever encountered so far. Her demeanor is wonderful and she does a really good job at articulating and explaining everything that she's thinking about or diagnosing in your mouth. I did also appreciate that she reviewed my saliva bacterial test results and that she gave really good insight on some of the things that the results mean. Doctor Who has a way of making you not feel bad about your situation in your mouth and I really appreciate her for that. Some people are really natural about positive bedside manner, and Dr. Woo was definitely one of those people. Thanks! Since I felt so comfortable, I have agreed to continue and get my work done here. Once Dr. Woo was done with me, she was able to introduce me to Tom who was able to give me all the information that I needed for my treatment plan and everything that Dr. Wu described and explained to me about her course of treatment. Tom is very pleasant and welcoming, and he is also the same person who checked me in and made me feel comfortable for my visit. I like his positive vibe, it matches Dr. Wu's positivity. I will update my review after I get my dental work done, but I'm very happy that I chose to come here. Today as a new patient, I got a brand new toothbrushing kit, which includes some really cool stuff. My daughter has been a patient at Kensington Dental for many years. I will recommend this place also to my mother because she was asking how it went.

Our child was seen here regularly for years, and no mention was made of a developing overjet or…read moreneed for orthodontic evaluation. After changing dentists around age 10 to 11, we were immediately told she had a severe overjet (approximately 11 mm) and should begin treatment. It was disappointing to realize that something this significant was not brought to our attention earlier, as timing matters for growth based correction. Parents may want to ask specifically about bite and jaw alignment during visits rather than relying on it being addressed.

I called in for an appointment and needed an immediate examination and Dr. Dung was flexible,…read moreinformative, caring, and helpful. The dentist was able to book an appointment for me within the same week. And on the day of the appointment, Dr. Dung told me I needed a filling for a cavity and was able to fill it in for me in that same day! I am super thankful. The numbing process was good, and I felt little to nothing (in past dentist appointments from other places, I still felt pain even after numbing). More importantly, Dr. Dung was very gentle when administering the numbing in my mouth. What I like about Dr. Dung, as my first impression: is the kindness, transparency, and extremely informative. The dental place also accepts Medi-Cal insurance. I would definitely recommend Dr. Dung to my family and friends in the area. COVID-19 2021: The Dental place is small, but looked pretty clean. The equipment, tools, seating area, floors, and walls are clean. The dentist wore a face mask at all times.

After being severely traumatized by my last Dentist I went here mainly because she takes medical…read moreand I knew I was overdue for a teeth cleaning. I normally went every 4 months. Medical only covers once a year which totally sucks. Anyway I was hoping I didn't have a nervous breakdown in the chair due to PTSD from the old creepy dentist. I held it together and she was very kind. First of all scheduling was easy. I got an appointment surprisingly fast every time. I have never had to wait more than a few minutes in the waiting room, but they do seat you and make you wait. I worked in the dental field for over 20 years which I never tell people. I want to see how they do things. My last visit they sat me and she was still scaling teeth which is the start of a cleaning. She did apologize for the wait which I was fine. (I hate when they don't acknowledge it). She used topical per my request. It is helpful if you have not been in awhile. She had a brand new ultrasonic cleaner, but most of her equipment is dated and need of repairs. Everything appeared sterilized correctly. The x-ray machine has a wandering arm making the assistants job difficult. So as a patient for 2 years I have not had ANY cavities which is shocking. I always have cavities. So I find it hard to believe she over diagnosed someone on their review. She is very thorough and gentle. Is she chatty? NO Is this state of the art? NO Is it a good dentist. YES And that is a hard thing to find on Medical.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kambiz Ardjmand for almost 20 years, and I can say with complete…read moreconfidence that he is one of the finest dentists I have ever known. His level of skill, precision, professionalism, and genuine care for his patients is truly exceptional. Over the years, Dr. Ardjmand has provided outstanding dental care for me and my family, including crowns, bridges, cosmetic dentistry, and dental implants. His work is consistently beautiful, precise, natural-looking, and long-lasting. He has an extraordinary eye for detail and aesthetics, especially in cosmetic dentistry, and the results are always elegant and of the highest quality. What makes Dr. Ardjmand truly special is not only his technical excellence, but also his honesty, kindness, patience, and dedication. He takes the time to explain everything clearly, never rushes, and always makes you feel comfortable and confident that you are in the best hands. I have been fortunate to know many excellent professionals, but I have never seen a dentist with his combination of talent, integrity, experience, and compassion. Dr. Ardjmand is simply outstanding, and I recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional dental care.

Went for an initial visit quite some time ago, was told I needed a deep cleaning and X-rays so we…read morewent ahead with it. No cavities, hooray! This was a shock as I had not been to the dentist in some time. I go back in 6 months for a regular cleaning, now they tell me I have 3 cavities. How did 3 cavities pop up within 6 months after I hadn't been to the dentist in 5+ years? Another 6 months go by and I choose to get a second opinion from another dentist in this area who not only told me I have ZERO cavities but this scam has been pulled by this office before. My new dentist also told me those 3 cavities were conveniently not listed in my medical records from this office, though I still have the itemized estimate they sent to my insurance. Fast forward another 2 regular cleanings at my new dentist and still no cavities. I'm appalled you want to drill into people's only set of teeth just to line your pockets.

Your health is one of the most important…read morethings in your life that you must trust others with; and I'm thankful to say I could not be more happy with Dr. Aldo and the team at Bella Vita Dental. I see a lot of reviews talking about upselling and unnecessary treatment and I feel like I must say that whilst in my specific case this would not at all be relevant, it would take truly corrupt individual to do this to what is essentially a patient in a healthcare setting. I cannot in my wildest dreams see Dr. Aldo ever doing something like this - nor do I believe her to work in an environment in which this would ever take place. I stand firm in my belief that Bella Vita Dental is not capable of fostering this sort of behavior. The front desk staff were friendly and inviting and thorough with the answers to my questions, and Dr. Aldo and her team of dental assistants were kind, compassionate, and needless to say, all my issues were addressed and I am back to pain free. Whilst I do not look forward to the next time I have dental issues; I find comfort knowing I'm in great, compassionate hands with Dr. Aldo and all those at Bella Vita Dental.

TL;DR: The billing service that Bella Vita employs filed 2 insurance claims with incorrect billing…read moreinformation, which were denied by my insurance, and are refusing to update that info and resubmit the claim (as recommended by my insurance) and are leaving me with an outstanding $1167 bill. I was a patient with Bella Vita for about 5 years until I moved away last October. I decided to start Invisalign with them in May 2025 and paid my quoted amount ($2411) in full the day treatment started. To my surprise, in April 2026 I received a call that my claim had been denied by my insurance but they would help me out and file another claim that would hopefully be approved by Delta Dental but if that claim was denied, they would file an appeal for me. I got a text on May 11, 2026 that I had an outstanding balance that amounted to ~50% ($1167) of what I originally paid at the start of my treatment so I called to ask what happened and Emily at the front desk told that they filed an appeal for my denied claim but couldn't answer any insurance or billing questions due to the fact that their billing department is not done "in house" so they would have to relay all my questions to a separate service. The office also refused to give me any contact information for their billing department so I'm forced to play telephone with the office and their billing department but also said they could not tell me why my claims had been denied. I was, however, told that my benefits for ortho had been maxed out. I called my insurance immediately after that initial call and they told me that, no, my claim was not denied due to my coverage being maxxed out (it has not been at that point) but because there were errors with the billing information on the claims that were submitted. The insurance rep also notified me that they had no appeal on file, so either there is some technical issue on the insurance side or the office lied about filing an appeal for that 2nd denied claim. The insurance rep told me it was an easy fix and that the office's billing department just need to update that billing info, resubmit, and it should be approved. From May until August of this year, I've called 6 times asking for updates and relaying the message that all they have to do is update their incorrect billing info and resubmit the claim and it should be approved. Everytime I call, I'm met with "The claim was already filed and denied twice so there's not much we can do, but we'll ask the billing department again." I've tried asking for the practice manager and have been told "she's not at her desk but she will call you later" and I never receive that call. All in all, be wary of this place. Since their billing is not done in house, no one at the office can answer specific billing questions and refuse to give contact info for that billing office so you're forced to play telephone with them and their billing department if you ever have an insurance issue.
