    AFTER their cleanings, they were SMILING!
    Jackie M.

    I am in tears. Happy, happy tears. I am TERRIFIED of dentist offices, and thus my kids were a bit older for their first ever dental visit. The staff got my two girls an appointment in less than 24 hours after calling, the front desk staff were incredibly kind. The facility is like nothing I've ever seen, SO FUN AND INVITING!! No stuffy magazines, but video games and fun television shows! I cannot say enough about our dental hygienist-what a complete sweet DOLL! My girls said their x-rays and cleanings didn't hurt one bit Dr. Okamoto explained everything perfectly. Seriously, I was dreading the typical judgement and shaming for not bringing them in until now or not enforcing more thorough brushing and flossing, but I left and cried on the way home because that was such a lovely and wonderful experience. My husband wishes they took adult clients

    My kids have been going here for years! We will always go here. Dr okomoto and staff have treated us like family from the very beginning.

    You guys rock! From the beginning, very first dentist appointment, till now you have always been kind understanding and caring. Great dentistry and atmosphere. We will never go anywhere else

    Bring your children here!!! I literally cannot stress enough how happy I am with the care my daughter received at the office of Dr.Okamoto. She previously went to another dentist who monitored 4 cavities for several years because she "would not tolerate fillings under local anesthetic". First visit here Dr.Okamoto explained that he would fill them quickly which he did without traumatizing my daughter. He has an exceptional bedside manner with children and parents which is few and far between these days in medicine and dentistry fields. Daisy the dental assistant also is a wonderful employee who my daughter asks for every time we come. Thank you all this office relieves my anxiety of taking my daughter to the dentist!

    The waiting room is very kid friendly

    Exceptional Care, Expertise, and Genuine Compassion I don't…read moreusually write reviews, but this one is absolutely deserved. Dr. Avideh Daneshvar is one of the most knowledgeable and intelligent dentists I've ever met--but what truly sets her apart is how much she genuinely cares about her patients. She treats you like family, not just another appointment, and that's incredibly rare to find. I've had a long and complicated dental history, including over 11 years of orthodontic treatment. After moving to the U.S., I experienced serious bone loss and ongoing dental problems. I've seen many dentists across the country, and most of them focused on temporary fixes--adjusting, extracting, or patching things up without addressing the root cause. Dr. Daneshvar was the first to really look deeper. She explained that the foundation--my gums and bone--needed to be treated first. She walked me through multiple options, took the time to educate me, and approached my case with a level of honesty and expertise I hadn't experienced before. Her office is equipped with advanced, top-of-the-line technology, and you can immediately tell you're receiving high-quality, modern care. Recently, I went in with severe tooth pain. After a careful evaluation, she explained that the tooth couldn't be saved. I was extremely anxious because of my past experiences--but the treatment was incredible. I didn't feel the injection. I didn't feel the extraction. I felt no pain at all during the procedure. For someone who has dealt with dental pain for years, that was honestly shocking. She also treated another broken tooth during the same visit, again with zero discomfort. What impressed me even more was her follow-up. She personally checked in with me afterward--calling and texting to make sure I was okay. That level of care is truly exceptional. Her staff is just as wonderful--kind, professional, and highly skilled. The entire office feels organized, welcoming, and focused on patient care. It's not your typical dental office--it feels elevated in every way. There's even a small but meaningful touch: a tiny puppy in the office. During my visit, the puppy sat quietly with me and helped me relax. It might seem like a small detail, but it made a big difference. After everything I've been through, I can confidently say that Dr. Daneshvar is one of the best dentists I've ever had. If you're looking for someone who is highly skilled, honest, detail-oriented, and truly focused on long-term results not just quick fixes I can't recommend her enough. I feel very lucky to have found her.

    Dr. Daneshvar and her team are amazing! We've been going to Parc Center Dental for over 20 years…read more Both my husband and I have had dental work done and they always go above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident with the cleanings, fillings and crowns that they did for us. We've developed a true friendship over the years. We always get a warm welcome from Cindy at the front desk. And Belle and Casey are true artists in their field of expertise. Lynette is probably one of the best dental hygienists we've ever had. And Denise is always thorough in explaining the costs involved and works diligently with our insurance to make sure that we get all of the benefits that we are entitled to. Dr. Daneshvar is a true gem, both in her profession and as a warm and kind individual. Her compassion and genuine concern for her patients is unsurpassed.

    The staff is horrible and cancelled an appointment without notifying us…read more A staff member contacted me the day before my twin daughters' appointments to request updated dental insurance information as my employer's insurance had changed. They requested that I email the updated insurance information which I did. The following morning my daughters showed up for their scheduled appointment and were told their appointment had been cancelled because Blu Oasis didn't have their insurance information. The staff member told my daughters that a voicemail message had been left advising of this. This was a complete lie. No voicemail message had been left and Blu Oasis had received the insurance information via email. I called to ask why they cancelled the appointment and they couldn't bother to answer the phone or return my voicemail message. I scheduled with another dental practice in La Quinta and would suggest you do the same. Blu Oasis is rude, unprofessional, doesn't tell the truth and has no consideration for their patients' time. All they had to do was ask my daughters for their insurance cards when they arrived but they turned them away and lied about notifying about the appointment cancellation. Stay clear of this place!! Simply horrible.

    I love the way this dentist does cleanings. They do a great job. Got my husband to change to them…read moreas well that's how much I like it

Also asked the new dentist about my son, and he couldn't comment on the extraction of the 2 front teeth, and he said the silver crowns are very unnecessary. NEVER take your kids here, they make your kids suffer just so they can keep charging your insurance with unnecessary procedures
