My husband and I have been seeing Dr. John Adomian for about 10 years, and we truly cannot recommend him enough. From the very first visit, he is the kind of doctor you immediately trust. He combines professionalism, expertise, and genuine care in a way that instantly makes you feel you are in good hands. He is one of the most skilled and experienced dentists I have ever known. The quality of care is exceptional, and every treatment is handled with precision and integrity. He always takes the time to clearly explain options, and every decision he makes is truly in the best interest of his patients. He is honest, ethical, and never suggests anything unnecessary -- which we deeply value. His staff is equally wonderful -- friendly, professional, and experienced. The entire team creates a welcoming and comfortable environment every time we visit. Recently, I brought our daughter in because I was feeling anxious and needed a second opinion. As a parent, those moments can feel overwhelming. He was kind, patient, and happy to help. He carefully evaluated everything and completely cleared my doubts, giving me so much peace of mind. We are incredibly grateful to have found such a dedicated and compassionate professional. We wholeheartedly and confidently recommend him. read more

I have been going to Dr. John Adomian for a few years now, and he's been wonderful. Today I had my filling done by his son, Derrick, and wow, he did a fantastic job! The numbness was on point, and I didn't feel a thing!! I was super nervous because I have really sensitive teeth. In the past, I would sometimes have to ask the dentist to numb me some more, but this time it was perfect. Derrick has a highly skilled bedside manner, and he explained each step of the way to me. Thanks again, Dr. Derrick! Additionally, all of the staff at the dentist's office are friendly and kind. :) read more

I really don't like dentists and dr. Adomian provides a very nice and easy experience! I totally trust him and his team and feel comfortable coming here for cleanings and any other dental work needed in the future read more

I went to the office to get veneers and was nervous to have a cosmetic procedure done but he made it so comfortable. He was very knowledgeable and honest throughout the whole process. He could have easily convinced me to do more veneers as other dentists tried to do but he told me that I only needed the front 4. He numbed me so well that I didn't feel any pain. The results are phenomenal, I get so many compliments on my teeth. They are so proportional to my face and the quality of work is outstanding read more

John G Adomian, DDS - Veneers before and after - General Dentistry Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Best dentist I've ever had - I won't go anywhere else. He's skilled, fast and cares. When I chipped a tooth once, they got me right in that day for a repair. I always feel very cared for by the hygenists as well. read more

Dr Adomian is an excellent dentist. He takes time and has a wonderful staff. He has provided dental hygienists who clean perfectly and provide the needed X-rays to tell if you have a problem. His work on my new crown was not painful. read more

This is a great dentist that I would highly recommend! I went to them for a teeth cleaning and to get a second opinion on a root canal and ended up being prescribed a crown. They performed the crown and were always professional, gentle, and helpful as they answered all my questions. I appreciated how everyone on staff treated me kindly - from the dental hygienists to the front desk employees. read more

I couldn't recommend a better dentist. I first went to Dr. Adomian after having a bad filling at a previous dentist, that was sensitive for months. Dr. Adomian cleaned out the old filling and refilled the tooth and a few days later the pain subsided. Since then, he's thought outside the box to fix my various teeth problems. I have two baby teeth with no adult teeth under them. Several dentists had told me I needed to get root canals otherwise I'd lose the teeth. Instead of putting me through root canals at 25 years old, Dr. Adomian was able to put porcelain crowns on them instead to protect the teeth for as long as possible. Thanks to Dr. Adomian, I haven't had to get a root canal and my baby teeth are still standing 5 years later with no issues. The staff including the hygienist I see are great. There's no upsell and they explain what you need and why you need it. If you're looking for a great dentist and a great dental office, this is the place to be. read more

Amazing dentist with great calming personality. When you are in pain... personality like his helps so much: he patiently explained to me what was wrong, what we are going to do, and what to expect. Very professional staff. Highly recommend. I made appointments for my whole family. read more

Everything about Dr Adomian and his office staff is first rate. And it turns out his bill for a full exam and x rays was far lower than two other dentists I was recommended to on the westside. Very personable and very thorough in explaining all my options. And when it came to a night guard, which I requested--no upsell, I finally have one that fits perfectly and is very tolerable and easy to wear. My last one was a nightmare! I'm so glad my good friend recommended this extraordinary dental resource. Glad to be a patient in this practice. read more

If you're like me, and have had bad past experiences at the dentist, and get nervous, you have absolutely nothing to worry about with Dr. Adomian and his team! He knows what he's doing, and is extremely efficient and gentle. I've been without dental insurance for some time, and the cost has been very fair. read more

Dr. Adomian is the most kind, gentle, knowledgeable dentist. I have zero dental anxiety with him. He and his staff are all so good. I couldn't recommend a dentist more. read more

We have been going to Dr. Adomian for many, many years-- ever since he bought the practice from Dr. Wallin. He is so skillful and has the most reassuring manner. I value his. honesty. When I had to have an old crown replaced, he told me that the x-ray did not reveal a need for removal, but I was having considerable tooth pain, and he found a soft spot that strongly suggested decay in the crown area. He could have told me the x-ray indicated I must have the crown replaced. He is just a quality human being when it comes to honesty, as well as a top-notch dentist. By the way, the tooth ache went away when he replaced the crown. Also, his needle sticks are about as painless as you're ever going to get with a dentist! When Marilyn, the long-time receptionist, left, front office efficiency went down a bit, but they are coming up to speed, and do try hard. Marilyn was just a tough act to follow. They do everything they can to get you in quickly if there is an emergency. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Adomian. He's incredibly caring. Listens to his patients. Understands financial concerns. Gives you his honest opinion about treatment recommendations. His staff is incredible. Scheduling is easy. I've never waited more than 5 mins. Literally the best dentist I've ever been to 10/10. read more

If you are looking to wait 45 minutes, this is a great place to go. Receptionist also are not friendly, good luck.

My preferred dental hygienist was not available and the receptionist said to me Patti had a family emergency with her mother. I spoke with Patti after that to find out about her mother, Patti said, "I went on vacation and my mother is fine." I'm not sure why the receptionist had to lie about that. On a separate occasion I had to cancel my appointment at the last minute to reschedule for the next day. They wanted to charge me $75 for the cancelation and $75 for the next day's appointment. $150 for a cleaning when I drive an hour in traffic each way and I pay out of pocket. After 20 years of Dr. Adomian being my dentist, it's time to find another dentist. read more

This is the dentist office that got me to go to the dentist after not going to the dentist for at least five years. I was mortified and traumatized by past experiences, but I decided to give Dr. Adomian's office a shot after hearing recommendations from my coworkers. I can't say enough good things. He staffs exceptional women in his office and they have ALL been attentive, sensitive, and professional- complete opposite of dentists past who caused great pain and embarrassment for me. I have never once felt judged here. Even after moving 20 miles south, I still go to Dr. Adomian's office. Excellent, excellent. read more

Dr. Adomian exemplifies the perfect combination of knowledge, skill, communication, and chair side manner that everyone seeks in a dentist. His experience, sincere honest advice, and conscientiousness give you confidence he understands your needs and goals. He explains in plane english the procedures up front and the costs associated that actually produce positive results at a very reasonable price. I travel a lot and while he has a busy practice, he has always found a way to accommodate appointments to my convenience. Dentist typically end up hiring several assistances and either sell their practice or hand down to a family member who doesn't care about honesty and personal service. Dr. Adomian has what everyone needs and expects and what you'll find when you choose him as your dentist. Meet him and you'll see for yourself! read more

I love Dr. Adomian and his staff. He makes things as painless as possible. I've been coming here for over 10 years.

I've happily been a patient for 3+ years. Straight forward dentistry practice. Everyone is lovely and efficient. Also, helped my mom when she was visiting and had a dental emergency. read more

Lovely people, fantastic service from John and all the staff, very honest, doesn't overcharge or make stuff up. Couldn't be happier.

Been coming here for decades... Dr. Is professional, pleasant, knowledgeable and all staff are efficient and friendly. Recommend, without a doubt! read more

Where have you been all my life??? I'm so satisfied with Dr. Adomian and his team!!! I didn't have the greatest past experiences with my last dentist and his team who had let me down many times so it was time to finally leave, but where do I go? My first call was here! I had the pleasure of speaking with Marilyn, who handles the front like a BOSS ;-) just talking with her made me feel like I made a good choice. Booked my first appointment...walked in and my choice was confirmed. Professional, clean, and friendly! Everything you want in a business. Every six months I love getting my teeth cleaned with none other than the one and only AMAZING Cyndy!!! She's the Bestest in the Westest ;-) Thank you kindly for making me feel like part of the family and making my pearly whites look extra good! :D read more

Dr. Adomian is amazing, and I would give him 5 stars, but his receptionist is not friendly at all. She is straight forward, and gets you what you need, but don't expect a friendly smile, when you visit, or voice when you call to ask a question. This to me makes the experience less than it should be. read more

John is the BEST. My wife and I have been with him ever since he bought the practice from the previous dentist!

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Adomian and his friendly and efficient staff. He's warm, thoughtful and not looking to prescribe drastic measures when there are simpler (and less expensive) options. I truly believe my teeth are in great hands there and will continue to use him for all my dental needs. read more

Me? Giving 5 stars to a dentist? I've shocked myself! So those of you who know me in real life know that I am the. worst. dental. patient. ever. And I read all these yelp reviews of dentists where everyone's all "I'm such an anti-dentite but I love going to Dr. So-and-so." No, I'm pretty sure I've got you beat. I cry at dental cleanings. I cry getting check-ups. And my teeth aren't *that bad* that I'm a cash cow for a dentist. So basically, they have to put up with my debilitating phobia for no good reason. Anyways, I got a referral to Dr. Adomian from one of my colleagues. He's located on the swanky Montana strip, right by Roosevelt Elementary. There's on-street metered parking and free parking on a lot of the side streets, though I usually take the bus because of my anxiety. The waiting area feels more like a little house with laminate floors and some of the charm you see in older Santa Monica buildings. And it doesn't smell like a dentist's office which is always a plus. The exam rooms are separate from one another though don't have doors. Everything is really clean, but not super-high tech like those dental spas where you're catching up on the latest sitcoms while simultaneously getting a foot massage. In "Goldilocks and the Three Little Bears" land, everything is "just right." Not unmodern or unclean where you'd doubt yourself for letting someone stick sharp pointy things in your mouth, but also not uber-high-tech where you think it's all just smoke and mirrors. Just, comfortable. Or as comfortable as you can be when you've already taken a valium to go for a cleaning and your heart is racing and tears are running down your face. I told you I'm a dental-phobe. Dr. Adomian is really nice and though I'm not an expert on dentists I do believe that he's a very competent one. He doesn't beat around the bush with what's needed to appease an (insanely nervous) patient, but also goes out of his way to avoid unnecessary treatments. He took his time with me despite being a total wuss over minor stuff, and his assistants followed suit. I didn't feel any pain or discomfort (that wasn't self-inflicted), and he calls you in the evening after you've gotten a filling to make sure everything's okay. Does your dentist do that? In addition to Dr. Adomian, the other staff is really stellar. I've had my teeth cleaned by Christina, who really should consider a career as a standup comedian. She did a really thorough job, again took her time with a really bad patient, and had me laughing and smiling by the time I left. Marilyn, who is the receptionist/admin is very helpful and straightforward with everything from scheduling to billing. What's even better is that she promptly replies to e-mails which is great when you don't have time to call during the day. The staff all really cares about both doing a great job and working well with even their worst patients. Maybe I'll evolve into a slightly better patient. Who knows? You may think from the swanky address that this is one expensive DDS. While I do have dental insurance which covers most of the costs, what I do pay is in-line or less than many of my colleagues who go to other dentists. Additionally, I keep hearing that dentists in LA will try to gauge you for money - recommending veneers, extra crowns, etc. They don't do that here. In fact, I was told point-blank here not to get my teeth whitened because of the anatomy of my teeth (long story) and while even my mom (a former dentist) has mentioned the possibility of veneers, here I got more of the "if you don't need them, why go to the expense?" Also, while some dentists in town like to put down the work of others, Dr. Adomian is always very positive and never talks trash. That's class for you. While I still can't say that I don't get dental anxiety, I am very happy to have Dr. Adomian as my dentist and his staff for all of the cleanings and what not. I've had only positive experiences with them and really appreciate all that they've done to make my dental visits as pleasant as possible. The only slight inconvenience is that they don't have many night/weekend openings (they're open for cleanings only 1 Saturday morning each month, and stay open until ~6 on Thursdays) though they open at 7:30am. This is fine for me, since I work in Santa Monica but my husband works in downtown so the scheduling is a little tricky. But, trust the dental-baby here, it's worth that slight inconvenience. read more

Wow. Came here via recommendation after being without a cleaning for 7 years for lack of dental insurance. 1) Making the appointment: I called, marilyn the receptionist was pleasant and the next available was within 3 weeks. I was told right away that the appointment would take 2 hours. 2) Clarifying my health insurance benefits: I called a couple days before my appointment. I had to give Marilyn my insurance plan, group, and ID number. She called me back the same day to let me know my benefits. (phew! exam, xrays, cleaning all covered :D) 3) The appointment: Office was clean and modern. Filled out some paperwork, and soon after I was taken inside. The staff has AWESOME bedside manner. ernesto the dental assistant, Dr. Adomian, Sheila the hygienist.. they ALL explained to me what procedure they were about to do, why they do it, and what discomfort it might impart; and built genuine rapport that didnt feel forced, cold or artificial 4) Dr. Adomian: He's great. Never had I visited a dentist that explained and educated me to the extent he did. From conducting a soft tissue exam, to measuring the gum pits so that the hygienist knew how far to clean, to examining the wear on the teeth due to teeth grinding/TMJ, to showing me my xrays. He even told me the cost of a mouth guard he recommended and that Marilyn would look up whether it was covered by my insurance or not. In the end it was not, so i left the office without it. But not once during my visit did I feel judged or pressured as though I was with a used car salesman. The only drawback is that there is no parking lot for patients. However there is metered street parking on Montana. Not to mention 2 hour residential parking. However, I found my dentist and will be coming back despite that. Overall, the staff is thorough, honest, experienced, and straightforward, and sincere. And i got out of there in 2 hours, exactly as Marilyn had said. I highly recommend. read more

I broke a tooth on Father's Day (2010) and called Dr Adomian on his cell phone. As I wasn't in pain he said to come in on Monday and he would take care of it. I live in Thousand Oaks... over the course of the hour it took me to drive to his office in Santa Monica I thought of the dreadful experience I'd face. The glop he'd put in my mouth to make a mold to produce the cap, the novocaine, the drilling, the temporary cap, then the return visit a week later, etc. Instead, Dr Adomian's staff took a digital X-ray, which was immediately put up on a computer monitor in front of me and then Dr Adomian came to to begin the process which included the use of 3D imagining. Dr Adomian himself crafted the cap, again on a computer that was right next to me, and produced the final cap in his office. In other words... not gloppy mold, no temporary cap, no return visit (there was still the novocaine and drilling)... and in 90 minutes I was finished and out the door (I am a geek... the 90 minutes didn't include the extra 15 minutes Dr Adomian spent with me discussing the technology and showing me how they took the 3D data and produced the cap in a machine in his office that is no bigger than a microwave oven). The best part... I was expecting pain that night... nothing, nada, zip. If you are like me and hate going to the dentist I highly recommend giving Dr Adomian a call. I may have to start going more often. read more

This dentist is amazing- I had a bonding on a tooth fall out last night and his office fit me in this morning, and he stayed after they closed to work on my tooth. It looks better than my last one and the people at his office were SOOOOO nice to me. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate a good dentist and know I've found one! read more

Dr. Adomian is an amazing dentist and I am very grateful he was referred to me when I had a dental emergency. My entire experience has been excellent beginning with his initial phone consultation on a Saturday after an unfortunate accident. He is professional and caring and his dental work is top notch. His support staff are also great technicians as well as personable and welcoming. Thanks to you all! read more

My kids and I have been going to see Dr. Adomian for 12 years, even after we left Santa Monica. And even after he stopped taking our dental insurance. Marilyn, who runs the front office, is fantastic. You get a postcard reminder, plus a phone call reminder for all appointments. She goes above and beyond to fit us in. The dental hygienist, Kristina, is the best, although all of them are great. She is so thorough and the bonus is that she's hilarious! I'd give this clinic 10 stars if I could. read more

Doctor Adomian is a perfect blend of professionalism and personability. His office staff, from hygienists to the desk staff, are all top-notch. Going to the dentist still isn't "fun," but this is as close to painless as it gets! read more

Dr. Adomian and his staff are professionals and know how to make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. First time I met Dr. Adomian for a consult he was honest and forthcoming with me. He actually recommended I don't proceed with a treatment because he didn't feel it was necessary or I would get the results I wanted. He could just as easily sold something and I would not have known the difference. read more

I found John Adomian when my hygienist, Kristina Esposito, took a position at his office. Knowing Kristina Esposito ONLY works for the top dentists, it was a no brainer to follow her there. Dr. Adomian is an excellent dentist. What I truly like about him is his soft spoken, straight forward manner. He talks you out of things you don't need rather than just give you what you want for the sake of making the money. He is truly an amazing dentist who has saved me a lot of money by having the ability to fix teeth without putting me through unnecessary dental work. His hygienist, Kristina Esposito, is the BEST hygienist I have EVER had. HER WORK IS BEYOND THOROUGH! Her personality is engaging and I'm always surprised when she says "we're done". Her engaging personality makes the time fly by and I look forward to my teeth cleanings. As I said earlier, I follow her because she will ALWAYS work with dentists who are the best in their field. Her attention to detail has saved me what could have been costly dental repairs with her commitment to proper dental hygiene. This is a dental office with an amazing and highly experienced staff. Dr. Adomian and Kristina Esposito make my dental visits fun as Kristina and Dr. Adomian both have engaging personalities and Kristina makes me laugh through my entire teeth cleaning. If you're looking for a great hygienist and a truly brilliant dentist, this is the only place to go. read more

John Adomian is a great dentist with a great staff and they take my CIGNA dental plan. A USC grad, Dr. Adomian is personable and clearly knows his stuff. My CIGNA plan is mediocre but Dr. Adomian more than makes up for what CIGNA lacks. read more

Dr. Adomian is gentle, attentive, meticulous, and thorough. He and his team provide exceptional service and work together in a collaborative succinct operation. This afternoon, he took care of a filling with time and care and managed to have me in and out in less than 45 minutes. He didn't rush, he didn't cause pain, he talked me through the procedures, addressed any questions, fears, or concerns. I'm incredibly impressed and thankful for his exceptional service. read more

I have been in dentistry since 1986. I started in dentistry as a dental assistant, then became an office manager and since 1994 I have been practicing dental hygiene. I have worked overseas, and on both coasts with numerous offices and staff and bar none Dr. Adomian ranks the highest on numerous levels. I have never worked in a friendlier, more efficient office. The staff is knowledgeable, professional, caring, patient and friendly. The staff really are family, they are happy and highly likable. The office atmosphere is welcoming. The cosmetic dentistry is exceptional, he has transformed many smiles. The office uses state of the art equipment/technology. The most succinct way to sum up Dr. Adomian is to state that he is conservative without being remiss and proactive without " selling". He listens to his patients, he educates his patients and he genuinely loves his craft and it shows. If you are a dental phobic this is the dentist you have been looking for, great care/time is given to getting to know each patient and their needs. Treatment here is customized and not your run of the mill generic care. You will not be disappointed on any level. K read more

Dr. Adomian is great! He's very caring, professional and explains things well if you have questions. His receptionist is great as well, she actually remembers you and takes care of you, and follows up if needed. It's a practice that cares about their patients, thank you! read more

I needed to find a Santa Monica dentist and based on my insurance and Yelp reviews, I went with Dr. Adomian. I had a really amazing dentist where I grew up on the east coast, and I just assumed that I wouldn't be able to find another dentist that I liked nearly as much. I'd tried other LA dentists that I hadn't really liked. But my check-ups here are just really pleasant experiences. Dr. Adomian is great, and the dental hygienist I usually see is also fantastic. I've been really pleased with all my experiences here. (I will add as a disclaimer, though, that I am a fairly low-maintenance dental patient. I haven't had any dental work beyond cleanings since a cavity in high school, so I can't speak to their more intensive dental work like root canals or crowns and such.) read more
