I don't usually write reviews for dental offices, but my experience here was so exceptionally…read morepositive that I had to share. This review is specifically for Dr. Patrick, who recently replaced a dental crown of mine that broke after four years. Dr. Patrick is a true artist. His precision, attention to detail, and bedside manner are entirely unmatched, even during the clinic's busiest hours. Throughout the entire procedure, he kept me fully informed and painstakingly ensured I wasn't experiencing a single moment of pain or discomfort. Because I grind my teeth, my natural teeth are a bit on the smaller side, which meant it took some extra time and meticulous effort to resize and reshape the new crown to align perfectly with my jaw. I tend to avoid confrontation, and I think Dr. Patrick picked up on that. He looked me straight in the eye and encouraged me to speak up if anything felt even a tiny bit off, insisting that it had to be absolutely perfect to protect my bite and jaw alignment long-term. I really appreciated that extra push. Truthfully, I might have held my tongue and settled for "good enough" otherwise. (In hindsight, that's probably what happened with my former dentist in Irvine who did my original crown.) The difference in quality between this crown and my first one is night and day. I found out later that my old crown was actually too big, causing an asymmetrical bite. This time, I have absolute confidence that Dr. Patrick got it perfect right from the start. To top it all off, Dr. Patrick personally followed up a few days after my appointment to ensure everything was still feeling great. If you want a dentist who genuinely cares about both the artistry of his work and the comfort of his patients, look no further.

When I review a restaurant, it boils down to one question: "Is the food made with love?" For…read moredentistry, the question becomes: "Are my teeth made with love?" I can vehemently vouch for Dr. Erica, Dr. Patrick, and their incredible staff at Bello. (Btw, this review is long overdue.) Not only is their work exceptional, but they possess the impressive ability to transform the terrifying, dreadful experience of dental work into a completely pain-free, almost pleasant routine. Here, your teeth are absolutely made with and handled with love. My journey here began after I cracked my dental crown on a Trader Joe's Ridge Cut kettle chip (aka the hardest chip known to man), leaving me in desperate need of an emergency replacement. As a recent casualty of the tech layoffs in LA, I am currently navigating life without dental insurance. Crowns are notoriously expensive. When I discovered that my previous insured dentist was now wildly outside my price range, I started shopping around the LA area for a quality, affordable alternative. The more offices I called, the more a quick trip across the border to Tijuana for cheap dental work--as a friend suggested--started looking like a sane, viable option. Luckily, I was saved from figuring out those logistics when I stumbled upon Bello Dental in Montebello. Not only did they offer manageable pricing for out-of-pocket patients, but their stellar reviews across both Yelp and Google backed it up. From the start, booking was a breeze; the receptionist was kind, knowledgeable, and highly accommodating. The actual visit went just as smoothly, despite the fact that I arrived as a bumbling bundle of nerves. In fact, I was so anxious that I accidentally bit my poor dental hygienist's finger during the initial exam. I was mortified, but she was an absolute sweetheart about it, calmly explaining every step of the process and even reassuring me that the X-rays exposed me to no more radiation than stepping out into the sun. When it was time for the procedure, Dr. Erica injected the numbing agent and gently removed the remaining pieces of my cracked crown. She took a mold for the lab, and then crafted a temporary resin crown to protect the tooth in the meantime. Throughout the entire process, she was calm, patient, and thoroughly professional, constantly checking in to ensure I wasn't in any pain. She was incredibly meticulous about aligning the height of the temporary crown perfectly with my bite. You can tell she is a woman of precision who takes immense pride in her craft and her patients' comfort. I would honestly trust this team with my life--and I will certainly be trusting them with my teeth from now on.

My hygienist, Johana, is the sweetest and has such a gentle touch. She always makes sure I'm comfortable and, most importantly, makes every visit as painless as possible. I also started my Invisalign journey here, and everything has gone smoothly so far. Even though I don't see Dr. D as often now, he's always been very intentional about making sure I leave happy and that my results are exactly where they should be. You can tell he truly cares about his patients and the outcome. I don't see him as much now which is actually a great sign because it means we've been able to maintain a healthy smile! Highly recommend!

I would not recommend this dental office based on my experience…read more My first appointment was scheduled for June 18 at 11:00 AM. I received appointment reminders on June 11 and June 15, so I assumed everything was confirmed. When I arrived at 10:50 AM for my appointment, the receptionist immediately told me there was no doctor in the office that day. When I asked why I had been scheduled and reminded about the appointment if there was no doctor available, she couldn't explain it and simply said there is never a doctor there on Wednesdays. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and rescheduled. My next appointment was on July 9 at 11:00 AM. Again, I arrived early at 10:50 AM. I wasn't called back until 11:38 AM. The X-rays alone took about 30 minutes, and by the time I was placed in an exam room, it had been over an hour since my scheduled appointment time. I then waited another 20 minutes for the doctor. After waiting that long, I went looking for someone to help me and found the receptionist sitting in an open closet watching a show on her phone. I asked if I could either be rescheduled or if the doctor could see me because I had already been there for an hour and a half. The doctor happened to overhear and told me to be patient, saying she would see me shortly. When the doctor finally came in about 10 minutes later, I explained that I didn't have time for a cleaning and just needed a quick exam. She looked in my mouth for less than a minute and then told me I had gum disease and a long list of issues that would cost approximately $3,000 to treat. There was little to no explanation provided. Instead, I later received a treatment plan by email listing everything that was supposedly wrong. What concerned me most was hearing a dental assistant ask the doctor whether she wanted to add something else to the treatment plan, and the doctor's response was simply, "Sure." There was no explanation or discussion about why it was needed, despite it adding to the cost. Because I was alarmed by the diagnosis, I scheduled a deep cleaning for August 3. On the day of the appointment, the office called me at noon to cancel my 3:00 PM appointment. At that point, after multiple scheduling issues, I decided to find a new dentist. I requested my dental records and was told they would be sent. They never were. I followed up by email on August 10 and again on August 16 and received no response to either message. Since then, I have gone to a different dentist who performed a thorough examination and did not diagnose me with any of the conditions that this office claimed I had. Between the scheduling mistakes, excessive wait times, poor communication, canceled appointments, lack of follow-through on records requests, and questionable treatment recommendations, this was one of the most frustrating healthcare experiences I've had. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere for dental care.

She came in and apologized again saying it was an emergency. I was so shocked and pissed. My kids were so hangry... It just sucked. She quickly saw that my two year old wasn't sitting still and upset so she said she can't see him. She quickly looked at my 6 year old and told the dental assistant to just clean her teeth and left. The dentist stated she's not pediatric. (I felt tears) The dental assistant was sweet. Of course I still got a claim for both children. I'm sorry for not getting the dentists name.

But again since it's been while between appointments I had to get a procedure so they made an appointment for the week after to get that done. Overall that was pretty ok, I got sweaty and wanted to run away but Dr Kuwaye was calming and explained things as it was going on and assured me I was doing ok. He has steady hands and they work well and fast which is what I like. My friend said her dentist has this oral rinse to numb the mouth which is something I wish they had and another dentist that I went to had non-drilling tolls so virtually pain free cleanings and without that agonizing drilling sound.
