I know they have a new front desk team but wow I didn't know this would make such an impact on the overall experience. For as long as I can remember, my insurance has been covering 3x/year visits.

When I told them it was their own front desk team who confirmed 3x/year visits were covered, they said their team had been wrong and now I owed money. Diabolical for an office to make a mistake and then demand money 4+ months later. After I paid, my cleaning was absolutely subpar and rushed with no check-in from the dentist afterwards. Unfortunately, after years of loyalty, I will now be looking for a new office

Previous Review: I highly recommended being cautious if you choose to do business with Encino Dentistry. Hopefully my shared experience can better inform your decision making on finding a dentist that is reliable and can meet your needs. I will list a few reasons as to why I gave this place one star. Starting off with the service. I called one day to make an appointment since my tooth was hurting. Keep in mind I had somewhere to be that day and wasn't planning on coming in. As I was on the phone trying to make an appointment, the receptionist had insisted on me coming in that hour to look at my teeth. I had explained how I didn't have time and that I wanted to come a different day, especially since the pain was manageable. But she was adamant with me coming in that day. So I prioritized my health over my other plans and stopped by to get my tooth checked out. When I got in the people were nice and took care of me. They did some x-rays, and even took a 3D image of my teeth. After getting my teeth checked, the doctor had explained how I should get a filling.No biggie, I just had to call them when I was ready to make an appointment for this service. The next day I looked at the service charged on my insurance and there were multiple charges of different x-rays that my insurance didn't cover. I'm no dentist but I didn't see a point of doing all sorts of different x-rays to assess my one tooth. For me it felt unnecessary and expensive. As I continued looking at the charges I noticed that I was charged for the 3D model of my teeth. At the moment of getting the 3D model I didn't think much about it, all they said was to open up and then they put the wand in my mouth to make the image. I don't think they thought once about me as a patient but rather it felt like they were trying to take advantage of the situation by doing a bunch of extra x-rays that I didn't exactly need as a way to increase their profit. The next day I called the receptionist and asked her about the charges. I was also charged an emergency service charge since I came in that day despite me wanting to come in another day. So, after explaining the situation the receptionist took off the emergency charge but I was still left having to pay a couple hundred for the x-rays they took that day. I explained how I was confused why they took a 3D image if they weren't making crowns or molds that would require a 3D model of my teeth, and the receptionist proceeds to tell me that I'm not getting crowns and how she was confused about my questions. All I was trying to do was understand the charges that were made, and she stated to get frustrated at my questions. So l asked if I could come in to talk with the doctor. She then explains how I have to make an appointment in order to do so. So I asked if it's free and she said that it would be $100 to speak with the doctor about the x-rays and charges. This was ridiculous to me given that I wanted to better understand the service they did. Overall, this situation felt like they took advantage of my situation leaving me paying for services that I still don't know why were done. To add to this, I did some further investigation and came across the Better Business Bureau, which is a non profit that accredits businesses. When looking at there business profile it read BABY STROLLERS. I don't I don't know what this means but it seems off. The point of all this is to just caution you from getting scammed like I was. Proceed with caution when getting services done here!

My cleaning felt incomplete, I left feeling frustrated, and I felt like my concerns weren't being heard or respected. That experience reminded me just how much I value a dentist who takes the time to provide thorough care and treats patients with respect. I went back to my previous dentist, and the difference was incredible. The service was excellent, the treatment was thorough, and most importantly, I felt genuinely respected and cared for. I never felt pressured or like I was being "hustled" into unnecessary treatment. Everything was explained, and I felt confident that my best interests were the priority. After having both experiences, my decision is easy: I'm never leaving this dental office again! It feels great to have a dentist I can trust and feel comfortable with. Highly recommended! And everyone is just so sweet!! -Toolbox

Rather than recommending unnecessary or aggressive treatment, the exposed/sensitive dentin was treated and filled conservatively. I really appreciated how thorough, attentive, and professional Dr. Sadighim was throughout the entire visit. Everything was clearly explained, my concerns were taken seriously, and I felt very "comfortable" with the treatment plan. It's refreshing to find a dentist who focuses on solving the actual problem while preserving as much of the natural tooth as possible. So much so that I've already booked for my next procedure/cleaning/check up. Highly recommend!!!

What nobody explained clearly was how much of that was ours. I left thinking insurance would take care of most of it and anything extra would wash out later. It didn't. Insurance covered a portion and my husband was out of pocket for the rest, and the laser and ozone pieces are the kind of add-on insurance doesn't pay for at all. He signed because the person in the chair told him he needed it. That's how this works on people who trust their dentist. If you're getting a treatment plan here, ask for the itemized codes and the periodontal charting before you sign, and ask which specific line items your insurance won't pay. We canceled the rest of the appointments.
