The best dental office I've ever been to!! I've had a lot of dental issues over the years and no…read moreone has ever listened to me like Dr. Sako. And the front desk staff?! We all know that can be hit or miss at doctors' offices, but everyone at Dental Design is soooo pleasant. I'm shocked every time. Everyone there is top-notch, and so many of them have been there for years that they honestly feel like family. That says a lot about the doctors and how the office is run!

I came in for a second opinion regarding minor pain on one tooth and ended up receiving…read morerecommendations for Invisalign for grinding along with additional laser treatments. What gave me pause was that I've consulted other orthodontists in the past about Invisalign for small cosmetic concerns, and the consistent feedback had always been that my teeth were already well aligned and moving them could potentially create more issues than benefits. Because of that, I felt uncomfortable with how quickly extensive treatment was recommended for what appeared to be relatively minimal contact points, especially when continued night guard use was dismissed as a "band-aid." Seeing so many Invisalign ads throughout the office did not help that feeling. While these recommendations may be appropriate for some patients, I personally left feeling more sold to than educated, and uncomfortable with how my questions were met with defensiveness. I ultimately decided to seek care elsewhere. Everyone in the office was kind (although another reviewers mention of the stepford wives vibes isnt far off), so I feel bad leaving a review especially over a subjective experience but I think it's important to share and encourage patients to ask detailed questions, explore conservative options as well, and make sure they feel fully informed before committing to extensive treatment.

Great dentist and staff, love the location and the dentists are great. I would recommend to anyone…read morelooking for a new dentist.

Update after owner's response:…read more Dr. Kalasho, I appreciate your response. You're correct that my experience occurred several years ago. I recently discussed dentists with a friend and realized I had never shared my experience publicly. In fact, I had written down most of my thoughts shortly after the events occurred but never got around to posting them. I also want to clarify that my concern was never whether a procedure was covered by insurance. My concern was that I often felt encouraged toward higher-cost treatments without receiving explanations that gave me confidence they were necessary. For example, when I was told I needed a deep cleaning, I don't recall being given a clear explanation based on the condition of my teeth at the time beyond the fact that I had received one previously. Regarding the Invisalign issue, my frustration was not the outcome itself, but how it was handled. I raised concerns beforehand, incurred additional expense afterward, and felt dismissed when I returned seeking help. I also noticed that your response did not address one of the main points in my review: the way additional services were often presented as being "free" or costing very little because they could be applied against the $150 deposit or membership credit I had already paid. Regardless of intent, that approach never felt transparent to me and contributed significantly to my loss of trust in the practice. I recognize that many patients have had positive experiences with TruGlo. My review simply reflects my own experience and the reasons I ultimately chose to seek care elsewhere. I did receive your voicemail yesterday and plan to return your call today. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I really wanted to like TruGlo. The offices are beautiful (especially the Beverly Hills location), the staff is friendly, and the reviews are stellar. Unfortunately, after being a patient for several months, I completely lost trust in the practice and ultimately switched dentists. A few examples: 1) The upselling and pricing explanations never sat right with me. One of the first recommendations I received was for a deep cleaning, which is significantly more expensive than a standard cleaning. When I asked why it was necessary, the primary explanation seemed to be that I had received one in the past. Maybe there were legitimate reasons, but I never felt like I received a clear explanation based on the actual condition of my teeth and gums. In fact, the hygienist also said she could not do a standard cleaning because she could 'be held liable'. I was shocked. More broadly on more than one occasion, I often felt pressured to add services and then told they were essentially "free" or "only a few dollars" because the charges could be applied against my $150 deposit or membership credit. That logic never made sense to me. It's still my money. It felt like the office would recommend additional treatments and then use money I had already paid to make the cost sound insignificant. The whole thing felt more like a sales tactic than transparent healthcare pricing. What really made me question things was when I showed my treatment plan and charges to a few dentist friends. Several of them were surprised by some of the extra fees and told me those were things many dentists typically don't charge for separately. I understand every office is different, but by that point it was hard not to feel like the practice was looking for every opportunity to bill for something. 2) I lost confidence after a crown procedure. Before getting a crown, I specifically told the dentist that I used Invisalign and even brought my trays with me. I was assured the crown would be shaped so my trays would still fit afterward. The crown itself was fine, but my Invisalign trays no longer fit. I ended up having to spend hundreds of dollars and significant time getting new trays made. To make matters worse, the office later told me they would try to help by providing a complimentary scan. Based on that conversation, I made a special trip back to the office, only to be told when I arrived that they couldn't do it after all. The whole interaction felt very dismissive. No one seemed particularly concerned that I had made the trip based on their earlier assurances, and there was little effort to take accountability for the situation. 3) The stellar reviews make more sense now. Patients are offered complimentary services (such as fluoride treatments) in exchange for leaving a review, and you're asked to show the review before receiving the free service. While everyone is free to leave whatever review they want, it definitely made me view the overwhelmingly positive ratings a little differently. To be fair, the office is beautiful and many of the employees are genuinely kind. But between the upselling, the Invisalign issue, the communication problems, and the review incentives, I ultimately decided to take my dental care elsewhere.

Dr. Saleh has such an amazing eye for detail and facial balance, which really sets him apart. He is incredibly talented and truly an artist at what he does. From the very beginning, he took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted, explain every step, and make sure I felt completely comfortable and confident before moving forward. His attention to detail is incredible, and you can tell he genuinely cares about getting the best possible result for each patient. My veneers turned out absolutely beautiful...natural, seamless, and exactly what I was hoping for. I still look like myself, just better! He has such an amazing eye for creating a smile that fits your face. I trusted him completely throughout the entire process, and I'm so happy I did. And his team is just as wonderful. Everyone is warm, welcoming, attentive, and so accommodating. Every time I walk into the office, it honestly feels like I'm catching up with friends. They make the entire experience so comfortable and enjoyable. I absolutely love them! If you're considering veneers and want someone who is exceptionally talented, honest, kind, and truly committed to your results, Dr. Saleh is the one! He and his team were absolutely worth the wait, and I can't recommend them enough!

This is the worst experience I have ever had at any dental office…read more Do yourself a favor, don't waste your thoughts, your time, your money, and especially your dental health to this office. There is nothing special here, they spend their time creating Instagram videos to lure people in. But the doctor doesn't actually do the work, he is the salesperson, once Sam Saleh sells you and takes payment, then the damage starts. Two other dentists you never heard of or were introduced to actually come in and do the work. You never see "the salesman" except for a few quick looks and then gone again. Now, lets talk about their actual work. I came in for 3 crowns and 1 veneer. The 4 front teeth (7-10) I have had work on this area from a few different dentists as it was from an accident as a child, I am 47 now and have seen many dentists over the years. I came here like most, sold by the internet marketing and all the AI videos showing the final results of their "supposed" work. Some other dentist came in and started prepping me, I never met her or was told someone else would actually do the work. She was very nice, like all of them, nice at first. They made the temporaries, those looked great, so I had high hopes that driving from Newport Beach to Beverly Hills was worth it. Was I wrong, when I went back 3 weeks later for the final work, it was completely messed up. Nothing like the temporaries or anything we talked about. All their "in house" dental lab did, was scan the old work I had and copy and print the exact same work. But they looked worse than what I had. I got to see the actual doctor again, Sam, and he also was not happy with the work. So, now once again back in temporaries. Each time you have to visit this office, it is a 10 hour day, 3 hours to drive in traffic there nd back, Beverly Hills is not an easy area to get to at any time of the day, plus pay to park. And I know a lot of people are flying in, save your money and your future negative thoughts. Your local dentist has better capabilities than this office, a real dental lab who works with many offices does a much better job than any in house lab can do and I had to learn the hard way. Back in my temporaries. The work was to be completed before I left on vacation for 2 months, which I could not change due to the dental office errors. I had to sit in temporaries for those 2 months and when I got back, they made me wait another month to get back into the office for the finals. Now that they were paid in full. When I got back in Sept 2025, I went to the office, another dentist came in to cement the finals, first Dr. Saleh put vaseline in with the finals to see if they looked ok to me, he took me outside to see and from there they looked ok, it was hard to tell since vaseline was all over the gum area, but at this point, I wanted something final in and I said ok to putting them in. At the end, your gums are so tight from all the numbing, you can't really tell if the work is done correctly. After leaving, I noticed one tooth was longer than the other. When I went to my regular dentist for a cleaning and that office wanted to see their final work, immediately my dentist said, no, no, I can see right when you walked in that the colors don't match each other, you look like you have a gap and one front tooth is longer than the other. Then he looked inside my mouth, and that's when they discovered the open margin. I originally thought it was leftover cement. Dr. Sam Saleh's other dentist didn't seal the crown properly and most likely both that dentist and Dr. Saleh saw this open margin and just ignored it, hoping a year would pass and they wouldn't be liable anymore. I confronted them about the open margin with a second opinion from a prosthetic dentist. He noted the 1mm open margin, said it was sub standard according to what he saw and what the Dental Board would agree with. I asked for a refund of $3500, this is what I paid per tooth. Dr. Sam Saleh did offer to give me the refund, but they wanted me to sign away their liability to all the dental work and I could not write any disparaging reviews. $3500 per tooth I paid, and that was after they negotiated from $4500 per tooth. Just go to your local dentist, stay in your area, if it is not done to your satisfaction, you will need to go back and forth at your cost.
