This office was able to fit my family in for appointments in the same week we reached out. The office waiting room was spacious, bright, and clean. We were greeted by Evelia, who was incredibly warm and welcoming, which was necessary because I have two young children, one of whom was visiting a dentist for the first time. She was also very knowledgeable and informative about the costs. When we were brought in, the children's dental room was full of toys to occupy their attention and make them feel comfortable. There was also a TV with programming to entertain and distract the children from the fact that they were there for a dental visit. Michael was incredibly engaging, friendly, and his energy met the level of excitement the children needed to put them in a good place to be cooperative for their dental care. He's a gem and really made their experience special. Dr. Park was also really good at handling the children in a manner that did not make the apprehensive about their care. Prior actually working on their mouths, she patiently introduced them to each instrument and gently showed them on their hands what she would be using the instruments for, to alleviate fear. Overall, from beginning to end, this was a surprisingly pleasant experience at a dental office and we're thankful we discovered this office. Thank you, and keep up the great work please! read more

My whole family has been coming to Dr Kar for 10 years now. Making and changing appointments is at ease. Friendliness staffs, cleanliness of office and equipments. The waiting area is clean and comfortable. The quality of care has been consistently outstanding. I would highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a dentist for yourself and your family. read more

InStyle Dental - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Let me start by saying, I am not a "dentist person." I go twice a year for routine checkups, hoping to prevent any major work. But today, the unexpected happened: while eating breakfast, part of my tooth broke off. I called InStyle Dental right away, and to my relief, they were able to fit me in immediately. When I arrived, I barely had to wait before being seen by Dr. Kar and his team. The whole experience felt as seamless as if I had a scheduled appointment. Dr. Kar not only fixed my tooth on the spot, but he also showed incredible patience and a gentle touch remembering how nervous I had been at my last visit. That personal attention meant the world to me and completely eased my anxiety. No one ever wants a dental emergency, but thanks to the care I received today, I couldn't be happier to be a patient at InStyle Dental. For me, this was truly a 10/10 experience. read more

Great experience! Would highly recommend coming here for your dental care!!! Very nice and welcoming atmosphere.

I highly recommend if you value your dental care and want it done right! read more

I first found InStyle Dental when I was looking for a dentist for my baby daughter. Dr. Liu (who is no longer there) was the perfect dentist to build the foundation of a positive dental experience for not one, but two of my younger children. Our experience was so good that I became a client, my husband and my oldest child. We also refer our friends who are looking for a good dentist. I know that InStyle might be a tad bit pricey, but the quality of service they provide is hands down, worth it. I had had a root canal done at my previous dentist's office and had still felt a dull ache and was told it wasn't anything to be worried about. Once I moved to InStyle, they were able to pinpoint that my root canal wasn't done properly and helped me fix it to feel no pain. My two younger girls have had such a good experience with the dentist that they love visiting InStyle whenever they have an appointment. read more

InStyle Dental - Plenty of parking. - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - San Gabriel, California

I wanted to leave a good review because this place was recommended by a coworker, but every time I've gone (4 times since Feb 2020) I've felt like they always want to upsell me for a service I don't need. In fact, I went to my parents' dentist in Laguna Niguel to get a second opinion and that dentist negated what the hygienist said I needed, which was to refill the sealants I have on my back teeth. Really disappointing that they're trying to push not-needed services on their clients :( read more

NOT ALL DENTISTS ARE THE SAME! INSTYLE Dentists are far better! I'm mad and happy at the same time since the care my son Jaden has received over the past 6 years was not great. Mad since I only realized what better dentistry is when I brought him to InStyle. I never knew the difference. 1. After getting a cavity clearance and being told he was ready for braces from his prior dentist, Dr. Kar double-checked and informed me he had real concerns. The other dentist treated 2 of his teeth as cavities and filled them but it turned out Jaden had 1 that had gotten so bad, that he had to go to an Endodontist and Dr. Karr did a root canal on the other. Both of these could have been prevented but were misdiagnosed by the other dentists. 2. The first Orthodontist who put braces on Jaden talked us into creating 2 gaps for implants when his braces were complete only to inform us at the end, that the Implant Surgeon told Jaden he was not a good candidate for Implants. Our only option was to shave down 4 teeth to create 2 bidges. 3. Went to get another opinion and came across a great Implant Surgeon who gave us lots of hope. He felt confident Jaden would be able to get the implants but needed to go through another round of braces to open up the spaces more. 4. We already had an ortho consult from the prior dentist's office for Invisalign and the sister office for a consult on braces. Dr. Kar's office was referred to us so we decided to get one more consult with Dr. Kim. OUTSTANDING!! She gave us an option with Invisalign that was not offered to us by the other 2 Drs. I am so grateful. She added pigment to the 2 missing teeth so it is unnoticeable when he wears his Invisalign. It's incredible. 5. I started to question the care of our other children received by another dentist. Dr. Kim also saw our other son and thank GOD we came when he was still growing. The other 2 Orthodontist never mentioned that he had a severe overbite that affected his facial structure. I was mad at first that the other 2 offices never mentioned it but fortunately, because he is still growing, it could be corrected with braces if done immediately. NOT ALL DENTISTS ARE THE SAME! INSTYLE Dentists are far better! Sincerely, Incredibly Grateful Mom read more

Dr.Kar is a very gentle dentist. He and his staff are very kind, patient, and friendly. My family and I have been going to Instyle Dental for years and we had wonderful experiences. Their office is always clean and on time with appointments. Highly recommend this place! read more

My kids have been going to InStyle Dental for the past 3-4 years. I just started going and love the entire staff. My kids favorites are Michael and Dr Park, they are really helpful and patient with my children. Michael goes out of his way to ensure that my kids are comfortable at the dental office. Krishna is my all-time favorite dental hygienists. She's thorough, kind, and takes the time to explain and really talk to you about your dental health and how to keep it healthy. Dr Kar has a great staff and I highly recommend them. My dear friends and husband are now patients of InStyle Dental. read more

Let me first state that I am in the group that only writes a business review when I've either had a terrible experience or an exemplary one. In this instance, InStyle Dental absolutely came through for my family. Living through unprecedented times with the Covid-19 pandemic, our 5 year old daughter was experiencing extreme tooth pain this past week. She was scheduled to have several cavity fillings this month with her current pediatric dentist but their practice was closed and they were not seeing any patients during this time. The only option they offered was a referral to a dental surgeon to have her teeth extracted which was not a viable consideration as her adult molars were not expected to grow in for another 5-6 years. Feeling deserted and frustrated in a time of need, we searched Yelp and came across InStyle Dental's highly rated business. We were very fortunate to find out that Dr. Kar was available and was willing to see patients in emergency instances and we were able to schedule an appointment the following day. Considering that this was our daughter's first in-depth dental experience, Dr. Kar and his assistant Michael were nothing short of amazing. Their calm demeanors and approach kept our daughter feeling comfortable throughout the whole procedure. The facility is top notch, the equipment is state of the art and all of the instruments were clean and or wrapped which included the tv remote. With Netflix available, our daughter kept still for the duration as she was able to choose her favorite Power Rangers show which kept her mind busy and at ease. In this time of stress, my wife and I are very thankful for Dr. Kar. Our daughter is no longer in pain, is able to eat again and is back to her happy self. We would 100% recommend InStyle Dental to all. read more

Dr. Kar got the MAGIC TOUCH! You feel NO pain. Love Krishna, she is so good with her job. Definitely recommend to families and friends. read more

Came in for a cleaning and my hygienist, Yolanda was very nurturing. I'm about 34 weeks pregnant and she made sure I was comfortable by adjusting my chair accordingly. She did a very thorough cleaning and gave me flossing tips as well. The doctor came in as she was done and said everything looked great. He was super nice and caring as well. Will def keep coming back read more

We visited this office because it is closer to where we live. We couldn't regret more. You think you have insurance covered for a regular cleaning? Think twice. At the visit no mentioning any cost except for optional "x-ray $60" at the reception.They will "validate" your insurance and perform regular cleaning, and bill you months afterward for $308. This is not even Beverly Hills price, this is scam. I have dental insurance and was billed for $308 for REGULAR CLEANING. What kind of dentist charge this much? What kind of business practice is this? read more

One of the only dental offices I've been to that actually that see patients on time. Dr. Kar was very gentle and the atmosphere of the office was overall very comfortable and state of the art. You also get nice text messages and reminders from a friendly staff if that's important to you. read more

First off I would like to address insurance issues that people may have experienced thus leaving a bad review for this office. I work at a physical therapy clinic that is not in network with any insurance so I fully understand the frustration of a patient. However, patients don't understand that we as medical providers do not have EXACT numbers of reimbursements because insurance company decide how much they will pay after we bill them. Also, this explanation can vary depending on insurance. In all, medical offices have limited info of reimbursement. This place may have slightly higher rates from other dental offices because they are GREAT at what they do. You pay for what you get! By all means, you can go elsewhere but I guarantee that you won't get the same treatment. Dr. Kar and his staff are sweet and friendly. I like that Dr. Kar is very diligent with his care. Also, Yolanda is one of my favorite dental hygienist!! I love that she's gentle and thorough, and she provides me with the necessary education so that I can protect my beautiful teeth!! Overall, a well deserved FIVE stars. Been a loyal client for over 10 years and still coming for my semiannual cleanings!! read more

Great experience getting a cleaning today at Dr. Kar's office! Very amicable staff and quality service as well! Just moved to the area and I am glad I found this dental office! Dr. Kar made it very clear what kind of service I was receiving and also did a good job of making me comfortable! read more

If you scare of go to dentist. I recommend Dr.Kar he is very friendly and gentle on your tooth. All the staff is also friendly and professional. The schedule is always on time you don't have to wait. read more

I came for an annual clean and the place was so nice! The staff were kind and everything seemed very well taken care of. Would recommend!

Pediatric dentist is not good here. She was impatient and not good with kids. She miss diagnose and created more problem for my daughters teeth. Had to go to another pediatric dentist to get issue resolved. read more

Our 8 year old son needed a filling and today was his appointment to get the work done. He was extremely nervous and worried about it last night and this morning. Mike greeted our son warmly and listened with care to his anxieties. He then offered to demonstrate the entire procedure on this finger before the work was done on his tooth to help calm his nerves. He constantly reassured him and answered any questions. What started as a traumatic morning quickly melted into a learning experience where our son felt comfortable and proud of himself. We are so grateful to Mike and the entire In Style team for their approach to pediatric dentistry. read more

Dr Kar and his staff are amazing and really good people I wouldn't go anywhere else but here they really are the best of the best thank you guys read more

Great customer service. The staff is really friendly and professional. They do a great job with teeth cleaning. The dentist is really patient and cool. read more

Very long overdue review. Insytle Dental is THE BEST. From the front office staff who greet you so warmly to the dental assistants who really makes you feel comfortable to the highly professional yet caring dentists, EVERYONE here ROCKS!! Look no further for your dental needs. My daughter has been going to Instyle since her first teeth came out and every 6 months since then for the past 9 years. We have moved 30 minutes away since first coming but still make the trip because we know she's in the best care at Instyle. Just recently, the staff and my family were going through our daughters pictures they have on record. It was like looking through an album and it was so touching. The team really understands how to treat its patients and you will not be disappointed by choosing Instyle.. read more

Love InStyle Dental... Dr. Kar is amazing. He eased my worries I used to have with visiting a dentist. The rest of his staff is also extremely friendly and genuinely care! It's almost as if everyone there enjoys their job. Weird right?!? Also, they have a television in every room so you can watch whatever you'd like while your getting work done. The place is clean and doesn't hold any of the stigma's of what a dentist office is. I'm glad that I found this dentist office... I won't let any other dentist touch my teeth ever again. I have a better smile because you you!!! Speaking of all this... I think I need to make an appointment for my cleaning and check-up... read more

All I can say is WOW! I have been coming to here ever since I was 10, so for about 9 years now. Not only has my family known them on a professional level, but on a personal level as well. The staff there has got to be the kindest and most professional there. They always understood my needs and did a spot on job when I got my braces and Invisalign. A huge pro has to be their office. It is THE cleanest I have seen, and very up to date with the equipment. THIS is how all dentist offices should be! Unfortunately I moved to the Northridge and I haven't gone for my checkups and cleanings in a while! That's bad! Hopefully I'm able to see them in the near future! I know that when I have my own family, I'll be taking them to Dr. Kar and his amazing staff. I love them all! read more

I have always hated going to the dentist. But Dr. Karr has to be the best dentist around. He is really nice, super careful, he's just a really great doctor. I would recommend him anytime. The employees are also really nice. read more

Dr. Kar and the rest of the staff are extremely professional, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Dr. Kar is a great dentist who makes patients feel at ease, and explains what he's going to do and what to expect up front, so there are no surprises. The office itself is very nice, clean and modern. It doesn't feel like a typical dental office when you walk in the door. Reception/front desk staff also do a great job of dealing with insurance companies. The receptionist at InStyle Dental actually gave me a clearer understanding of my dental insurance than the insurance company could. If you need a good dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Kar. read more

InStyle Dental IS the place to go. If you don't like to go to the dentist then you haven't been to InStyle. That was me before. Dr. Kar is an expert at what he does. He is informative and sensitive when performing his procedures. He ensures his patients are comfortable throughout the process. If you have kids like I do, Dr. Liu is AMAZING with them. Took my kids there and having been terrified before, Dr. Liu does his magic and worked through their fillings without any resistance or tantrum! His methodology for walking the kids through the process and getting them comfortable throughout made the entire process smooth and painless. Yesterday, I took my son in for 4 tooth extractions and it was done as elegantly as possible (we're talking about yanking teeth out....). Through his technique, he was able to get my son to cooperate without a hitch and made the process a non-event! read more

I was looking for a dentist for my 4yr old and happened across reviews for Dr. Liu. Then after looking at the dental office's website and saw that they take adults, too, I decided to book myself an appointment since I was also looking to change dentists. I'm glad I made the change and came to this dental office. Both Dr. Liu and Dr. Kar are great; super friendly and very knowledgeable. They take good care to explain insurance coverage before scheduling any procedures so that you're comfortable with your financial obligations. They're also very thorough about explaining what they're going to do for your teeth, as well as why certain procedures should be done. You get to watch a netflix program of your choosing during the visit, and they send you home with a nice little dental care package after a cleaning exam. Dr. Liu sends the kids home with stickers and a toy of their choosing. Note: Dr. Liu is usually booked up and you likely have to schedule appointments months in advance read more

Use to hate coming to the dentist but ever since I found this place I don't mind it at all. They are so friendly and professional, treat me like family. On top of everything they are very organized an clean. I recommended it to everyone!! read more

Dr Liu is amazing! I have been dreading taking my 3 year old to the dentist for the first time but Dr Liu made it fun for him and stress free for me. read more

InStyle Dental - Dr Liu with 3 year old Raith - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - San Gabriel, California

My child has been going to the same dentist place since he was 18 months. They provide a very child friendly environment for the children. Well, everything changed when Dr.Kar found a cavity on my son's tooth at 1.5. So, As a parent ofcourse you start researching your options. Well, I guess at InStyle you aren't allow any options. Dr. Kar immediately suggest that he gets put to sleep so that he can fix the problem. I've heard horrible stories about kids not waking up from it. At that point I was like "NO" and provided him with my options such as local aesthetic or laughing gas. But, he refused and said it won't work. Yes, it did! I took my son to Parklane Dentist. They gave him laughing gas and fixed his cavity. I feel like some dentist just wants the easy way out. As a parent and a protector we must not take certain things lightly. The life of our child is litter in our hands. I am so thankful for Parklane Dentist. read more

I recently got my braces off and this has been the best dental experience I have ever recieved. I have never seen a more friendly staff anywhere else. I used to have extremely crooked teeth and in short time I have gotten them off and my smile has never been better. read more

Dr. Kar at InStyle Dental is a very caring and careful dentist. I have received exceptional care and Great Services from him and his staffs. Thanks for all your recommendations and they are well-taken. Now I can smile freely...:) read more

Guess it's my fault for not reading the bad reviews on here first since I made the same mistake! Beware! Make sure you check your insurance for coverage. They will not do this for you! Don't let them scam you! This review is not on Dr. Liu, but it's more about how the practice runs their business. Maybe it's my fault that I didn't do my due diligence by checking if my insurance covers first. But usually, the dental office will check for you. I thought my PPO would cover in most places but I guess not here. It didn't cover everything. It baffles me how much it cost to brush my daughter's teeth! It was her first visit and all Dr. Liu did was showed us how he brushed her teeth and taught us how to do so. So when I got the bill, I was shocked. $147 just for that and it's not like there was cleaning or anything else. When I asked the receptionist to email me a break down on the cost, I never got anything and I even tried asking for some discounts too. Nope. I guess money to them is more important than keeping their customers happy. If they called my insurance company and told me that my insurance didn't cover everything, sure they may not have gotten my business, but they would still have dignity! read more

This review is based on the Orthodontist. The Orthodontist is only there ONE DAY a Month. So if you have any issues with your braces you have to wait an Entire month to see him. When we were in there the Orthodontist was So busy running around that he just popped in checked on the progress and ran out. Not even bothering to explain or address you by name. NOT only did the orthodontist Not do a thorough review on my son. They claim if we do a Phase 1 Braces then he will not need braces later. They put brackets on some baby teeth that in turn effects the incoming permanent teeth. The incoming permanent teeth were coming in crooked but with the brackets on the baby teeth does not allow the baby teeth to move, potentially effecting his other permanent teeth. NONE of this was explained to us. Instead they proceeded to put on the braces on the baby teeth with the potential of damage to he permanent teeth that were in already. It took me over a month to try to get a copy of my sons records and X-rays. By law I can have a copy of my sons records upon request. Should not have taken over a month but I was persistent and Finally got a response. If you need Braces go to an Orthodontist that has the time for you and that is available to you when you need them. The pediatric dentist is great, but that is about It. read more

I just had my first visit with Dr. Kar and am very pleased with the experience. The office and staff are very professional and efficient but are able to maintain a friendly and relaxing atmosphere. I was very pleased with Dr. Kar's skills and delivery. He was very concerned about my comfort level and made the procedure 100% pain free! I don't believe the process could have gone better. I am happy to recommend Dr. Kar whole heartedly. read more

So today my toddler has his first dental appointment. We chose to come to this office because our friends recommended it. Read the reviews and all good. Even with all the positive things about this place. We were expecting my kid to be screaming bloody murder. But to our surprise the dentist we had kept him calm and she was able to complete the visit without any tears, punches or kicks from my kid. Will definitely go back. read more
