I've been going to different dentist these past 3 years and always unhappy with how they treated me like a dumb sucker where they sold you things I might've not needed so I'd spend $$$ that my insurance doesn't cover. One of those expenses was to pay for mouth guard I didn't need, and spent $$$ to have them filled 13 cavities I supposedly had that no one ever told me I had cavity issue. I felt very pressured to pay for things I thought I didn't need. So I kept searching for a new dentist. Now I found one that makes me feel comfortably at home. Dr. Lance Dunham, DDS. on Mason Ave. in Chatsworth. The whole ataff gave me the feeling that they genuinely care for me & my teeth. Doctor Dunham talked to me and treated me like family. He questioned and listened to my health history. He educated me in how to take care of my teeth, and even went over, above & beyond his duty as to provide me with a booklet, which nothing to do with dentistry, but on how to treat my kidney issue when I explained the kidney issue I'm having. That tells me he is a caring and loving individual and see me as "human" instead of a "bank". The dental hygienist was also gentle, very warm and informative. She talked to me like I was her sister and gave me pointers on how to take care of my teeth better and told me I didn't need unexpected expenses because I have good teeth. I feel they are honest people who thrive in helping their patients more than the ones I've hone to. Thank you Dr. Dunham and Doctor Naz for your love. read more

Dr. Dunham is an excellent dentis. I have been his patient for more than 15 years. He is knowledgeable, kind, and excellent in his profession. His kindn and honesty is exceptional. read more

Dr. Dunham is one of the best! Prices are fair and the care is outstanding. I never waited more than five or 10 minutes no matter how busy they were in the staff was always helpful and courteous. Fillings root canal you name it I've had it and for some reason it just doesn't hurt in Dr. Dunham hands. Thanks Doc, for all the years of service and for saving my face. read more

This is the best dental office i have ever been to in my life. Super clean, and fair pricing. I hate that i moved and had to leave their care. Definitely recommend them if you're in the valley. Dr Dunham and his entire staff are just great. read more

Dr Dunham never makes mistakes. My family has been with him forever. My husband and I moved to Palm Springs 24 years ago and our only regret was leaving the best dentist ever. We did drive back and forth for a long time but it became to much for us. Never go wrong read more

Dr. Dunham has been my dentist for close to 30 years. The dental hygienists are well-mannered and have great bedside manners. He cares about the safety of his patients. I fully trust all the advice he gives me for dental health. I would not choose any other dentist over Dr. Dunham. His staff is very friendly. I will continue going to him for all my dental needs.

Dr. Dunham and his staff are so nice. I was a new patient and they make you feel like family. The office is really clean. The dental hygienist was gentle and checked multiple times during my cleaning to make sure I was doing OK. I like that they were honest and didn't try to push any unnecessary procedures. The office is located off Mason and Devonshire in the vons plaza. It was easy to find and had lots of parking. They screen you for covid with a questionnaire and require you to wear an N95 mask when inside. If you don't have one, they will provide one. I'm happy to have found a new dentist closer to home. read more

I've been going to Dr. Dunham for the last 20 years! He is the best dentist and I will not go to another one. He is very honest and I always know that I am receiving the best care. He is kind and gentle. (Here's a crazy story: My friend who never gets cavities went to a new dentist in her neighborhood and that dentist said she had three cavities and needed to get them filled ($300+). She then went to our dentist Dr. Dunham who said she had no cavities and teeth were looking great. The other dentist was probably trying to make money as the normal customer doesn't know how to tell if they have cavities or not. Long story short, Dr. Dunham's office is full of integrity.) During the Covid pandemic, this office has gone above and beyond to make sure all the patients are safe. The front staff wears an N95 mask (worn properly), sanitize everything, and let you do transactions over the phone. Everything is up-to-date with the CDC regulations and I felt very safe when I walked in. You wait in the car until you have your appointment too. The dental hygienists and Dr. Dunham wear an N95 mask and another surgical mask on top of that with a legit helmet face shield, gown they change out per patient, and clean medical gloves. There is an Air purifier in each room, a negative air sucker thing to pull all the aerosols out of the room that is placed close to your mouth. And each room is closed in so there is no air coming from the hallway. Between each patient they thoroughly sanitize everything including the walls to ensure safety for their patients. I am a healthcare provider as well so I paid attention to every little detail and I was very impressed. You can tell these providers really care about your safety :-) (Another crazy story: I am a physical therapist and I was treating a dental hygienist last week and she said they only wear surgical masks and no face shield or gown or anything else ick! I mean wow ... our mouth is wide open!) Thank you for reading my long review. I would highly recommend going to my dentist if you need a dentist! This review is for February 2021 read more

I want to say Dr Dunham and his staff are fantastic, he was gentle and very concerned about me as a patient, I was referred by my brother who was so happy with Dr Dunham, not only is the office clean and up to date, but they are very very Covid cautious. just a great experience overall Lee Weiler read more

I was having a severe toothache and after calling, he took me in IMMEDIATELY. Filled in paperwork, got x-rays and numbed in less than 15 minutes! After he applied anesthetic for the pain, we discussed treating the issue at hand. It's very clear he puts his patients first, caring about their immediate needs (such as pain) before worrying about $$$. I usually get very anxious at the dentist but he has a way of speaking with his patients that is so sweet and funny it keeps you at ease. His demeanor is similar to Mr. Rogers. I'm so pleased with him that I'm writing this review as I'm still in the chair! The rest of his staff are all great as well! This was my first visit to him and I regret not going to him sooner. read more

Dr. Dunham's office is super Covid compliant. He really cares about the safety of his patients and his staff. He as well as the rest of his team are highly professional. Have been very happy with his expertise. read more

So unprofessional in every way and very old medical equipment as well as horrible customer service. And when I tried to reschedule because I had an emergency with my family they are charging me $50 . Never going back there me and my family. read more

I have gone to Dr. Dunham for many, many, years. I fully trust all the advice he gives me for dental health. I do not for once second consider whether he is trying to "take me for a ride." In years past, I have had a broken tooth (which he took me in on a Saturday morning to fix); the need for my wisdom teeth to be taken out (he knew I was going to lose insurance, and coordinated with the oral surgeon accordingly, saving me big, big money); and has recommended a night guard for me after I had grinding issues. He does all of my cleanings, and does it for a great price, with a friendly smile, a kind heart, and a team of support staff that always is pleasant and helpful. I consider myself lucky to have him as a dentist for all these years, and hope he never retires!! Dr. Dunham is a true professional, I only wish my tax guy and physician were as praiseworthy! read more

Dr. Dunham is very nice and extremely honest, would never ripe you off or take advantage of you, very knowledgeable and experienced. Great dentist! read more

First time here and I'm a believer. Nothing like getting your teeth cleaned with the sounds of journey in the background. Dr. Dunham is awesome! He is a kind man with nothing but patient's well being at heart. A genuinely good guy. Its like going to an auto shop and if ding an honest mechanic. Except he is a mouth mechanic. Lol. No seriously though. Great experience. My son and I went in for the fist time and honestly, I wouldn't go to anyone else. If I move, I hope I'm within driving distance. Very clean office! Friendly staff! No complaints. My teeth feel great! read more

Lance R Dunham, DDS - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Chatsworth, California

Dr. Dunham is special - he is a dentist that truly cares for each and every one of his patients. He is gentle when he works on your teeth and also gives great dental hygiene advice. I was surprised to learn that I did not floss correctly and he took the time to explain everything to me. Seriously a great guy. I will continue going to him for all my dental needs and can't recommend him enough. read more

A month ago, I had an emergency and was in pain. It was early Saturday morning and decided to call dental offices around my area. To my surprise, I expected Dr Lance office to say that they are close on Saturday, but his work phone is connected to his cell, so his wife picked up. They were close that day but was very kind enough to open their door for me. Now that's service at its finest. I also do not have insurance but Dr Lance was considerate enough to do a monthly plan for my root canal and crowning. A very dear, awesome, and gentle dentist. I wish more dentists are like him! read more

I've been going to Dr. Dunham for probably 3 years now. Excellent Dentist, HOWEVER! This last week I had an emergency and called the office for an appt and the gal who screened me was exceptionally rude! She was more concerned if I had been an established patient than what my condition was. After answering what seemed to be a 100 question grilling interrogation, she asked me very rudely if I was FULLY VACCINATED? I said no I'm not. Instead of making me an appt she said she would speak to DR. Dunham on how he wants to proceed. That was Monday Oct. 25th and still not even a call back from his office. Today is Nov. 2nd! If you don't want to treat me simply because I've chosen not to get an experimental vaccine she should of been honest from the get go! Oh wait then that would be discrimination right? Worthy of a lawsuit? Shame on them! I thought better of this office! Never going back! I only hope karma comes back so you know how it feels! read more

Dr. Dunham is terrific. My wisdom tooth had been hurting this whole weekend and I couldn't eat anything. I called Dr. Dunham at 7 am on Monday to see if I could walk in asap to get the tooth checked out because it was hurting so bad I couldn't wait any longer. Without hesitation, he told me to come in and he would take care of it for me. Very kind. Other dentists usually don't take any patient without an appointment. Highly recommend him. read more

This place is great!!! Just got my teeth cleaned here and it was actually a pleasant experience! It was the most comfortable I've ever been in the Dental chair. Highly recommend them! read more

I used to go here when I was in college, since my parents went there. I have since moved and had to go to other places, but still believe Lance was the best. A UCLA/CAL grad, so good education, but maybe I am biased since I went to UCLA myself. His shots don't hurt like other places and he definitely makes you relaxed. read more

Awesome guy! His entire staff is great, too. Prices are reasonable, and I am not switching to another dentist unless I move half way across the globe. My teeth never looked or felt better. read more

I have feared dentists for a very long time; had some very bad experiences with them when I was a kid, and some not-so-great ones as an adult. But hear me when I say this: Dr. Dunham is THE VERY BEST DENTIST I have ever had work on my mouth! Yesterday, I had to have four teeth extracted and a temporary denture installed, and Dr. Dunham did all that COMPLETELY PAINLESSLY! He talked to me all through the procedure, and numbed my mouth so I didn't even feel the injection, much less the teeth being pulled. As far as I'm concerned, this man is a TOTAL STAR among dentists! read more

Scheduled an appointment with them for a cleaning as a new patient. They called me about a cancellation for an earlier date and I gladly accepted. I then called them the day before the appointment to ask about xrays and was told they didn't schedule the earlier appointment. i wasn't angry everyone makes mistakes and she was happy to schedule a new appointment for the same day just earlier. I get there at the time we discussed, learning that the time that was scheduled was the previous time that they said wasn't written down. One mistake is understandable we're just human, but two mistakes for the same appointment?? Come on! They said if I wanted I could wait an hour to be seen. No thank you I'm not going to miss work for your mistake. Get it together or not I will not be back. read more

Dr. Dunham has been my dentist for years. He's absolutly amazing. He is gental and if you're ever in pain he will always stop until you are comfortable. One thing I love is he never makes you feel bad about flossing or cavities. He has suggestions and will answer any question you have. He's also great about last min apts. He'll skip his lunch just to see you. If your looking for a great dentist go to him! read more

Without a doubt, the very best dentist anyone could ever hope for. I would give him 10 stars if I could. His staff are awesome as well. Almost 20 years going there. Can't say enough great things. read more

Prices went way up. Wasn't happy with how one of the techs questioned my 9 year old after I requested questions be directed to me. DDS is very nice, as are the front office ladies, but I don't feel I've found the best office for me. read more

This man is awesome. I just went in today for my first consultation in regards to getting an implant for a missing tooth. Unlike my other money hungry dentists he actually gave me options as to what could be done for my missing tooth. My other dentist wanted to give me an implant right away without telling me all the problems that could arise since I'm only 18. The Dr. told me everything that can happen and it didn't sound good to me so now im going back tomorrow to get impressions so I can get something like a fake tooth that is removable but still looks likes a legit tooth. I especially liked that he gave me his personal home number just in case there is ever an emergency while its a weekend. My other dentist had a automated phone line that told me to call 911 if I ever had an emergency. On top of all that, when I went in they were able to see my girlfriend's teeth and give her a cleaning on the spot without an appointment. I'm definitely making him my go to dentist for anything I need done. (Also the prices are very reasonable which I loved.) read more
