My daughter was seen February 2024 and was immediately told she needed braces. Xrays were taken…read moreand she had rubber band spacers placed all at the initial consult. We returned a few days later only to find that the provider had placed the spacer on the WRONG SIDE of her mouth. Needless to say, we were not pleased that she had to go through several days of discomfort for nothing. We immediately decided that we would get care elsewhere. The office told us there would be no NO CHARGES for her care. They "pretended" to be sorry for their mistake. Although I was still upset about the mistake, I felt the solution was adequate. For all my other dental visits, my insurance was billed within a few days and I have never waited more than 2 weeks after a dental visit to get a dental claim fully processed. In this case, the office submitted a claim 6 months after the visit and the insurance paid the office over $400 for "consultation" and xrays. I find it shady that the claim was submitted so many months after the visit. It makes me feel like they waited until we forgot about them. My fault I didn't notice this at the time because we had moved on to a different orthodontist (Dr. Schlicher--who is amazing and didn't even feel my daughter needed to have braces right away and has just been monitoring her for the past 2 years WITHOUT CHARGING US OR OUR INSURANCRE COMPANY! Six stars for him) I was recently looking over dental claims and noticed the 2024 ortho charge. I have $3000 lifetime ortho coverage so this office basically took over 10% of that amount for hurting my child. I called the office to discuss this and the basic answer I got was just to dispute the charges with the insurance company. The person I spoke said "of course we would charge for the xrays". REALLY???? You make a mistake that hurts a child and then wait 6 months and charge for xrays that we will never be able to use? And she then says "oh, we can send you a copy of the xray". Thanks lady...I really need xrays that are two years old because my daughter's mouth has not changed for the past 2 years! When I asked her why the claim was submitted 6 months after the visit, she immediately blamed the insurance company. There have been numerous dental claims submitted for every member of my family and yet this is the only incidence of this type of delay. It's been a long time since I've been this upset. Do not go to this place. They just rush to slap braces on everyone. Did I mention Dr. Schlicher has just been monitoring my daughter FOR NO CHARGE since 2024 and he sees her twice a year. Digest that! I only wish there was an option for ZERO STARS!!!!!

I highly recommend this dental office!! I had root canal…read moretherapy done, I have always been afraid of dentists and doctors since I was younger and truly never grew out of it. My dentist was Meghna Prakash (Meg for short) and she is one of the sweetest, caring, patient people I've ever met. It was very wonderful to meet her, especially in her profession! More dentists like her are needed. I was very uncomfortable and anxious so I asked if Meg could attend during my root canal therapy the Endodontist would perform and she cleared a whole hour of her schedule for it, I am utterly grateful and enchanted, they allowed me to watch SpongeBob and it helped me to relax. Meg helped me to relax, by being very kind, explaining to me what things she will doing for the procedure, stopping and taking breaks if needed and going at my pace. The office staff, receptionist and dentist assistants were also quite wonderful and helpful. I'm very grateful I chose this dentistry, I highly recommend it, and if you do, ask for Meg! On another note, I've never use anesthetic or nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and she helped to be much more comfortable with trying nitrous oxide Thank you again so much!!!!

Dr Sablan, though petite,…read morehad the skill to extract them swiftly without pain and without my mouth becoming a battleground. She then persisted to make sure with several visits that my new denture was to my satisfaction. When the denture arrived from the lab, it was crooked and the teeth were too long.. With her skill, she made the appropriate adjustments so that everyone who sees me says they look great. I appreciate that she listened to me, and that she had the expertise to correct and fine-tune the fit and look of my new denture. She is truly a master, I learned that I can trust her completely. In addition, the staff is very helpful, friendly, and efficient. I highly recommend Innovo Dental, especially for those difficult situations where you may have a lot of fear and you require someone with a great deal of skill to do the procedure in a professional manner with beautiful results!

He provided me with options along with his own recommendation rather than forcing things on me. He saw my 3 year old son and was very honest. Although he can't see him at this time, he was honest in recommending that I take him to a pediatric dentist at this time. The front office staff are very friendly and helpful especially with questions regarding my insurance coverage.

However, I was unexpectedly charged over $150 out of pocket. What was especially frustrating is that the clinic performed additional services, including panoramic scans, without informing me that these were not covered under my insurance or disclosing the costs upfront. I only found out about the charges after the visit. Like many others, I trusted the positive reviews on Yelp, especially since I had just moved to the area and was looking for a new dentist. Unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to the expectations. Transparency about costs and insurance coverage is the bare minimum I expect from a dental provider. I would advise others to be very clear about what is covered before agreeing to any procedures here.

I'm a patient of Dr. Levine. About 10 years ago, another dentist repaired one of my teeth, but…read morewithin two years the tooth started developing a cavity that kept getting worse. During that time, I saw several other dentists. One dentist eventually decided to extract the tooth because it was causing pain. After the extraction, I looked at the tooth and saw that aside from a small brown cavity, the tooth -- especially the root -- still looked healthy. I deeply regretted having it removed because it probably could have been saved with a root canal and continued to last for many years. Because of that experience, when another dentist later recommended extracting two more teeth, I decided to seek a second opinion. I didn't want to lose more teeth unnecessarily. My husband found Levine Family Dental online. After carefully examining my teeth, Dr. Levine made recommendations that I truly believe were the right ones. I still clearly remember him saying: 'Don't rush to pull teeth. Modern dentistry has many advanced ways to restore teeth -- implants, bridges, and more -- but your natural teeth belong to you, and if they can be saved, I will help you save them.' Hearing that made me incredibly happy and relieved. Throughout my treatment, Dr. Levine was extremely careful, thorough, and professional. His treatment plans and dental work restored my teeth and relieved my pain. I can now enjoy eating again without discomfort or worrying about sensitive teeth. I'm very grateful to Dr. Levine -- not only for his dental skill and clinical experience, but also for his integrity and compassionate attitude toward patients. He is a dentist I truly trust. I highly recommend that anyone facing difficult dental decisions seek Dr. Levine's opinion before agreeing to extractions. Preserving your natural teeth whenever possible is so important

Incredible dentist who stays on top of the latest technology. I've been coming to this practice…read moresince this husband and wife team bought the place 20 years ago because I was a patient of the previous dentist. My husband and I have continued with the Levines ever since. What keeps me coming here even though I now live 100 miles away is the fact that Dr. Levine is what I want in a dentist. He is precise in his work and is technically outstanding. He makes you feel comfortable, it's easy to ask questions, and he communicates well so that I can understand. He is respectful and has extensive training and knowledge. He continues to improve the practice by staying current on all dentistry practices. He now makes his own crowns in the office so no need for a temporary. He is able to make adjustments to this crown in-house if necessary to prevent an additional trip into the office. Dr. Levine showed me how the crown is customized and it is pretty amazing! And most importantly, Dr. Levine is gentle and will warn you in advance if you will be feeling anything. The hygienist I see is Darlene and she is accommodating and works hard to keep your pearly whites in excellent condition. I have gone through a few other hygienists here but she has worked out the best for me. She is warm, friendly and I always feel like my teeth are incredibly clean as I leave the office. I love getting my teeth cleaned by Darlene as I feel like I'm getting a reset and clean slate for the next six months. The front desk is responsive and kind too. Everyone here helps to ensure you receive compassionate care and you feel welcomed and at ease. I had some dental work done during this last appointment where I was given a heads up that I needed to be in the office for two hours. During this time I could hear the office staff speak in warm and friendly tones to each other so the atmosphere is calm and professional at all times. You can tell they respect each other and enjoy working together. The practice has also gone through some beautiful transformations since the Levines took over. The interior is aesthetically pleasing with beautiful artwork, furniture, and modern equipment. I recommend Dr. Levine wholeheartedly.

I have already yelped this one-of-kind dental office when I moved here a few months ago but I'm so…read morehappy I felt it was necessary to compliment them again. My daughter goes here, recommended her to me, and even three my grandchildren are also patients. Dr. Xiao and her staff are exceptional at everything they do. Today was the first time Annie cleaned my teeth. I was always extremely satisfied with Andrew cleaning my teeth so was a little apprehensive about having someone else do it. I was immediately impressed with how kind, gentle, patient, thorough, and thoughtful she was. Dr. Xiao came in afterwards and examined me. As always, she went above and beyond my expectations. As I was leaving the office, Adrianna, the receptionist, also outdid herself. She is very warm, caring, and compassionate. Every single person I've had contact with in the office (Jennifer is yet another staff member who is personable and friendly) has been exemplary! On a scale of 1-10, I'd give this dental practice a 20!

This is only the second time I've visited Xiao Dental, Inc., and I'm just as impressed as I was the…read morefirst time. It was such a great experience that I'm very excited to talk about THIS visit. I had my teeth cleaned. by Andrew S., one of the dental hygienists who works there. I have an extremely low pain tolerance and, with my previous dentist, it was always necessary to numb all of my teeth (with injections of nova cane). It was the only way I could tolerate having my teeth cleaned. Andrew only used a numbing medicine that worked miracles! It was a breeze to get my teeth cleaned and it was the best experience I've ever had. in addition to his expert skills, he is a wealth of information and very knowledgeable when he talks about teeth. He even explained many things that were new to me (I'm soon to be 75) - lol I'm so glad to have been seen by Andrew and look forward to my next teeth cleaning! My daughter and her family all come here and we agree that this dental practice gets a 10 out of a 10!

Dear Western Dental Team, I am writing to share my positive…read moreexperience at your Livermore office. The entire team was professional and knowledgeable. I would like to specifically commend Jackie, the Assistant, for the care she took while capturing my X-rays, and Jacob, the manager, for making the financing process for my treatment so seamless. Additionally, I was very impressed by Dr. Swati, who was able to identify the issues with my teeth during the examination without me even having to mention them. Dr Murarka did the deep cleaning for me without injecting to num me, however she used numbing jell to my surprise was more than enough I didn't feel the slightest pain during the treatment. Thank you for the excellent service. Why 4 stars? because I expected polishing at the end. Best regards, Maha Hassan

I found this dentist through Zocdoc based on the high ratings and glowing reviews. Unfortunately,…read moremy personal experience was completely different. From the beginning, the visit felt unprofessional. I waited for more than 30 minutes past my appointment time. I was told everything would take about an hour, but I ended up being in the chair for nearly three hours. During the procedure, I felt very uncomfortable. The doctor's hands were visibly shaking, which made me anxious throughout the treatment. I don't know what the reason was, but it did not inspire confidence. I had a root canal and a crown done there, and shortly after, I developed complications that I am still dealing with almost three years later. I've seen multiple other dentists since then, and they were surprised by the quality of the work that had been done. I continue to experience pain in my tooth and jaw. Even with insurance, the treatment was very expensive, and unfortunately, the quality did not match the cost. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this clinic or this provider. I strongly suggest doing thorough research and possibly seeking a second opinion before committing to treatment here. Now I had a herpes and infection in my mouth.
