Nearly a decade later, and those 3 teeth that Dr. Moosavi was going to work on are all still fine and good. In fact, my dentist is always amazed at how clean and free of any problems my teeth are. It shocks me that if I had trusted Dr. Moosavi, I would have essentially destroyed unnecessarily my perfectly fine teeth. read more

I'm posting this review so someone else might benefit from my unfortunate experience, and I highly recommend you go elsewhere for cosmetic or restorative dental needs. I was in an accident that damaged two of my veneers (which I had from a previous childhood accident...I'm not a stranger to dental work). I was new to Santa Monica and after a consultation with Dr. Moosavi, he was confident that he could replace them. The whole process was terrible - from faulty temporary veneers which added several trips to his office, to him asking me on 3 occasions to drive 45 minutes across town to the lab he used, I missed countless hours of work on top of what would be expected with this type of procedure. The first replacement veneers did not match so the process dragged on and on, causing more damage to my teeth along the way. What should have taken 3 weeks took 3 months. The final product was misaligned and the veneers weren't seated correctly so my gums were at risk of gingivitis, my bite was off, and I was always aware of them - as if they weren't cemented well. Additionally, he chipped one of my veneers with a dental instrument and denied it, leaving me at square one with another damaged veneer. I lived with the chipped veneer and crappy replacements for almost a year, but ultimately needed to have them replaced. This time, I did more research and went to several consultations. Immediately I realized that other dentists who specialize in veneers have a much better process to ensure a flawless final product. The difference is night and day from my experience with Dr. Moosavi to the new dentist who is replacing them. The temporary veneers looked like normal teeth and I could still go about my life (Dr. Moosavi's temporary veneers were bright yellow - I posted a pic but he had it deleted), and the new dentist has a private lab in his office where the veneers are made so I was able to meet with the technician for 30 minutes at my appointment, take photos, talk details, etc. The process was seamless and that's how it should be when you're paying thousands of dollars. As other reviewers stated, it seems like Dr. Moosavi is good at general aspects of dentistry, but that doesn't translate to good cosmetic dental work. I would never recommend him for cosmetic dentistry. Very disappointing to have spent thousands of dollars with those results. Please avoid the frustration I experienced - a waste of time & money. read more

Very nice office, patient staff. Dr Moosavi is knowledgeable and helpful. He diagnosed the problem with my teeth which other dentist never noticed and I'm very grateful. I hope it's not too late to get treatment and will be glad to come back in 6 months read more

So I used to live a lot closer to Dr. Moosavi's office. Not only was it convenient to go there, Dr. Moosavi is just that good of a dentist and his staff was so helpful that it was easy to make Dr. Moosavi my main dentist. Now I live 20+ miles away from his office, and while I am sure there are other, good dentists much closer to where I live, I just prefer to have Dr. Moosavi take care of my teeth. Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Moosavi is one of the best dentists I've ever been too. He and his staff are incredibly nice and knowledgeable, and the office is clean and has great up-to-date equipment. Dr. Moosavi is really focused on preventive care, and since going to him I haven't had a cavity (which is pretty amazing considering my past!) I highly recommend this practice to anyone in the Santa Monica / Los Angeles area. Smile on! read more

I live in San Francisco and travel to LA for work weekly and saw Dr. Moosavi back in August for an emergency procedure. I was so impressed by my experience with him I decided to switch to his office completely. I first had a cleaning and some fillings and it was painless. Then we started on cosmetic work that I have been wanting for as long as I can remember and finally able to do. Dr. Moosavi placed four veneers on my front teeth and they are absolutely beautiful. Perfect shape and shade. After so many years of being self conscious I am grateful to say I love my smile and I owe it to Dr. Moosavi and his superb skills. They are beautiful without looking artificial, you would never guess they're veneers. He is meticulous, thorough and aims for perfect yet natural which is exactly what he achieved with my results. The entire experience went smoothly and everything was on point with what he told me the process would be from start to finish. Not only is Dr. Moosavi always punctual, professional and friendly his staff are too. Also, you are never in the dark about costs, they explain insurance like pros and I was always well aware of what was/wasn't covered and my co-pays. Dr. Moosavi runs an exemplary practice that can't be beat. I actually look forward to my appointments. Not a typical feeling to have about seeing the dentist but they really are that awesome! A++++++++ read more

I have been going to Dr. Moosavi for 7 years now. This may be the longest I've been with any dentist since I was a kid. I love going to my visits (as much as one can love going to the dentist), because I know that I am always going to be met with care, respect and warm dispositions by everyone in the office. Dr. Moosavi slows down and answers any questions that I have and educates me about how to take the best care of my teeth that I can. It sincerely feels like I am part of the family at the office and that is important to me, especially in this day and age. read more

I had the misfortune of being hit by a drunk driver last December and while the drunk driver walked away unscathed I suffered from multiple injuries.  Aside from a broken collar bone and 3 broken ribs I also fractured four of my front top teeth and 2 bottom.  Although the collar bone and ribs were not easy to deal with looking in the mirror and seeing my teeth and the effect it had on my overall appearance was the worst part of it all.  Dr. Moosavi was recommended by a friend and from  my first consultation right through to my final appointment he was gentle, gracious, kind and all around amazing. I was fragile and traumatized by my accident and he provided the ultimate in his care not only for my teeth but for me personally. He is the nicest and most considerate doctor I have ever been to and did a phenomenal  job on my badly damaged teeth.  Having multiple medical and dental appointments was challenging to manage and he was more than understanding and worked with me so I was always comfortable during the process. I could not be any happier with the work he did in such a visible area. Once again I smile with confidence and quite honestly my teeth look better now than they ever did.  He is meticulous and truly talented in his craft.  I could go on and on. Trust me your search for a top notch dentist stops here. Way more than 5 stars!!!!! read more

I decided to give Dr. Moosavi a try based on all his great Yelp reviews and so happy I did! He is seriously the BEST DENTIST EVER! This man saved me as I had horrible teeth due to years of neglect and from an extreme fear of the dentist. He is so kind and has treated me with such compassion. Moreover, his work is of the highest level and he is trustworthy with my best interest in mind. His cheerful nature eased my nerves tremendously and I appreciate how patient he was with me and my anxiety when it comes to dental work. His staff are also warm, caring and accommodating.. His office is state of the art with with digital x-rays and chair side monitors that display everything for you in color so you are completely informed and aware of the treatment you require. The office is also paperless so you fill out all your patient forms digitally which I found to be super cool in helping the environment. My teeth were in horrible shape the first day I visited him and he performed a lot of hard work in getting them fixed. I am happy to report that I have a beautiful healthy set of pearly whites today thanks to him! My dentist for life! The Best of the Best! read more

Dr. Moosavi is simply THE BEST. Going to the dentist is certainly not a favorite activity for many, but Dr. Moosavi is so warm and fuzzy that he actually makes it an enjoyable experience! An added bonus? He's never tried to up sell me on procedures and products that I know I don't need -- unlike many other dentists that I've been to in the past. I've been a patient of his for over 2 years, and I can't say enough good things about him and his entire office. Dr. Moosavi is a gem! read more

Dr. Moosavi was recommended to me by a colleague. He is not only an amazing Dentist he is also a kind and genuinely caring person. I've had extensive work done by him and his work is nothing short of perfection. After my fair share of bad Dentists I'm very grateful to have found him. I send everyone I know that needs a dentist to him and they all agree! Lastly, his front office gal and assistant in the back are both so wonderful as well....just like him they are caring, warm and pleasant on every single visit. I agree with all the other five stars reviews and enthusiastically recommend him! Trust me you won't be disappointed. Thanks Dr. M!! read more

Friendly staff & very nice office with state-of-art equipment. Dr Moosavi is very gentle, knowledgeable & trustworthy. This was the only time in my life that I actually look forward to going to the dentist. Highly recommended. read more

-Fast, thorough with state-of-the-art dental facility. -Dr Moosavi is a great dentist, very patient, caring, and takes time to go over immediate issues and also good maintenance plan for your teeth. -His assistant Xiomara is equally personable and efficient. -Front office/receptionist Cindy is stellar. She got me in right away for a dental problem. Called at 8 am and got an appt for 9 am. -Parking not easy, so arrive early to find street parking or in the metered lot on 14th @ Wilshire. Some paid parking lots in area if you're gonna be more than 2 hours. My best dentist yet! read more

Moosavi has been my dentist for almost 2 years. He's super nice, gentle and honest. You won't regret it.

The greatest dentist! Nothing but great experiences and my teeth have never been better. I've had a few dentists in the past that just put me through a lot of pain. I've had nothing but positive visits when visiting the office and his staff is amazing as well. He's not only a great dentist but a great dude and made me feel comfortable since the first day i sat in his chair. Thanks doc! Ed read more

Just switched over to Dr Paige's office after I had an insurance issue with my last dentist. Was in desperate need of a crown and he did an amazing job. He was able to preserve a lot of the tooth and it looks super natural. It actually feels like my original tooth. No weird adjustment period or anything. Greatest thing is that he is "in-network" with my delta dental PPO insurance and the cost was minimal. really appreciate his expert care. Thanks! read more

My favorite thing about Dr. Moosavi: His novocaine shots are the least painful I've EVER EXPERIENCED! So far, I've gotten four fillings, and a partial crown.... so that's a lot of novocaine needed for that. At previous dentists, I would get super anxious before getting those shots, so anxious that I'd absolutely need the nitrous oxide gas ... but at Dr. Moosavi's, no more anxiety because he's so calming and cares so much about your well being. He has also helped with my painful teeth grinding with an amazing night guard. My face and jaw no longer hurt. Oh, and the office plays nice music, and the staff is soooooooooooooooooooo nice and chill. read more

Normally I can't stand going to the dentist. The needles... the tools... the sharp objects... it's just too much for me to take. But with Dr. Moosavi I know exactly what I'm going to get. He's very professional, friendly, and always puts my fears at ease. Not only does he talk me through the entire process but also provides a personal touch that I just haven't found with other dentists. His staff is fabulous and kind and always very professional on the phone. I cannot recommend him enough! read more

I will never go to another dentist again! Dr Moosavi was recommended to me by a friend as I needed a new dentist in my area. I love him!!! He is probably one of the most positive, happy people I know, as well as being an excellent dentist. Always cheerful and this translates into his staff as well. I've loved the work he has done. He is very thorough and methodical and takes time to explain everything he is doing. He is great with preventative care as well as fixing any immediate issues. I've had fillings, bite guard, cleanings and chipped teeth repaired. On another note: my fiancée had not gone to the dentist in 13 YEARS!!! He hated going and avoided it at all costs. Until Dr Moosavi. Now even though he still protests going, I think he secretly is glad I make his appointments for him because he loves seeing the Doctor. Thank you for your great service, Dr Moosavi! read more

I loved my experience at Dr. Moosavi's office. The doctor is super kind, funny and honest. In addition all the staff there are SO nice and accommodating. I also love how before you are charged for anything they go through a detailed explanation of what they are billing your insurance for and what you may have to pay if they don't cover. They are super helpful at explaining this stuff and don't make you feel pressured at all to select any procedure if feel like you can't afford it. Can't recommend enough and very happy to have found them! read more

There's a dentist at every corner in Santa Monica, but the best is Dr. Paige Moosavi! My entire family has seen him for all of our dental needs, and he and his trusted staff have never failed us. The office and rooms are immaculate, modern and inviting. I actually look forward to seeing him. My teeth and gums have never been in such good shape thanks to him. At some places I have been treated as simply a patient, but at Dr. Moosavi's office I feel like a friend. We share pictures of our kids on our iPhones, ask about each other's family, and connect in a way that's important when you want to trust someone with your health. I'd recommend Dr. Moosavi and his team in a heartbeat! read more

I have only good things to say about Dr Moosavi and his team. I have now been a patient for over a year he has got my old ivories up to par after several years of neglect. On top of the top notch service they are super cool with me as far as scheduling. I travel for work 250 days a year so when I have in the pasted had to cancel and reschedule last minute and it's never been a problem they always found a way to get the work done.. So for all you scaredy cats out there go see Dr Moosavi for a very pleasant oral experience. Now I'm off to try out this new 1/2 crown he rush installed for me right as I had to roll to Italy last minute. Ciao!! read more

I've gone to Dr. Moosavi for over a year to repair the degradation to my gums done by nearly 10 years without visiting a dentist. He and his staff are organized, helpful and honest. I cannot emphasize enough how great Dr. Moosavi and his staff are in each factor of competence, billing transparency and making me at ease. I've recommended him to friends and colleagues and they have the same opinion of this dentist. read more

Besides looking like a cross between Mr. Bean and George Clooney, Dr. Moosavi is super friendly and his good mood is infectious. Professional, speedy yet still thorough with his appointments. His assistant, Chris, is also great! Thank you--can finally look forward to dentist appointments again! read more

What can I say? Dr. Moosavi is one of the kindest, sweetest professionals I have ever met. His assistant Terri (Terry?) is helpful and accommodating. Also, Chris (Dr. Moosavi's apprentice) is an absolute homie who makes you feel completely at ease. This office has a lovely staff who provides stellar service. I would highly recommend Dr. Moosavi to anyone! Thanks to all of you for my great visits thus far. read more

I've been seeing Dr Moosavi for almost 2 years now for general upkeep but he recently did some miracle work on me. He performed a root canal on a severely cracked tooth which was a 4 visit procedure and I cannot be happier. Throughout all visits, Dr Moosavi was gentle, kind, compassionate and professional. He was assuring and thorough. I had no doubt that he had my best interests at heart. His assistant Julie and receptionist Ashleigh are both incredible warm and pleasant. All in all, a comforting and welcoming dental office. I cannot recommend Dr Moosavi and his team more! read more

My experience with Dr. Moosavi was fantastic. He does the cleaning and all of the work on your teeth himself which is so rare! He also takes the time to explain to you what's going on with your teeth and the options you have. During my first visit with Dr. Moosavi I let him know I had been experiencing some pain in 2 of my teeth. It looked like I was going to need a root canal on both teeth but Dr. Moosavi worked for over an hour on each tooth to save them. And he did! It was a tedious and time consuming procedure and where most dentists would have just sent me to get a root canal, Dr. Moosavi went the extra mile! I can't thank him enough! Such an amazing, caring dentist - I highly recommend! read more

I have been going to Dr. Moosavi for about 3 years and I can't say enough good things about him and his staff. With former dentists, I used to get a feeling of dread about upcoming appointments, but not with Dr. Moosavi! He is thorough, kind, gentle and quick! I've never had to wait for my appointment, they are always running on time and are so friendly, prepared and considerate. I recommend him to everyone I know and am so happy I found him! read more

Dr. Moosavi is the nicest guy ever. He's professional, thorough, knowledgeable and always on time. The way he runs his office is how every doctor should run theirs. Your appointment is actually your appointment. He's easy to talk to and always in a great mood. I would totally recommend him!! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Moosavi for 14 years and have had nothing but the BEST experience with him and his staff. He is absolutely the best dentist and I drive from the San Fernando Valley to Santa Monica to see him because he is irreplaceable. He has helped me with several dental issues over the years always taking a preventative and conservative approach. I highly recommend Dr. Moosavi! read more

Dr. Moosavi and his staff are incredible. Over the last year, I had a large amount of serious dental work done and I feel so lucky to have found them. They really took their time to explain everything and delivered the highest quality care the whole way through. The doctor, along with Rochelle and Chris in the office, are super personable and always made me feel like family. Dr. Moosavi is in a league of his own and provides a combination of professional and personal care that is really hard to find. I could not be happier with my experience in their office. I give them a perfect score all around and would HIGHLY recommend them. read more

Dr. Moosavi is the best dentist I've ever had...period. I mean come on I'm writing a review on my dentist!! Who does that? Well if you had him taking care of your teeth you would understand. Completely professional, highly skilled, fair prices, and always, ALWAYS, with a smile on his face. One of the nicest guys I've ever met. I've had everything from a simple cleaning to a root canal and crown done with him and it has all gone off without a hitch. I know that a trip to the dentist is not tops on anyones list of things they wanna do. But Dr. Moosavi is the best at what he does, and always makes me feel at ease. Thanks Doc. read more

Been coming here for years. Great staff, great dentist. I highly recommend coming here.

I must inform those reading this that I've had extensive dental work over the years and have regretted a few dentists that had not yet grasped the skills that comes with experience. I've now visited Dr. Moosavi several times now, and lack of experience is definitely not a problem for this doctor. Let me tell you, this doctor exudes ease, control and mastery of what he does--and in addition to all that he is exceptionally motivated. Yes, motivated! It's a quality I think a lot of professionals lack these days, but not him and his staff. Plus, he always explains clearly what he's doing and why he's doing it, and what should be done next. All this and his positive charm exude confidence to me, and it really shows in his work. His clarity and exactness are exceptional on top of his perfectionist manner that I appreciate. And like him, his staff is pleasant, detailed and motivated to be there. Every visit is efficient and charming. Indeed, a smooth running dental office that really leaves me always happy, assured and confident that my teeth will be chomping on. And the music is not bad. Last, I must add, he really knows his teeth and nerves. Like I mentioned, I've had a lot of work done, and I'm always surprised how painless he is during and after. Kudos to him and his team! read more

I love Dr Moosavi. He never tries to upsell you on extras... Just cleans your teeth and of course tells you to floss more. I've had issues with my insurance and Paige has ALWAYS made it work for me. I have clean healthy teeth and gums thanks to him! read more

Update: Best dentist in town, wish my family lived nearby so they could see him too :-)

I am a current patient of Paige Moosavi, and let me tell you that I cannot put into words how awesome this dentist is, he is TRULY AMAIZING. Dr Moosavi is a dentist that cares about his patients, he and his staff are incredibly nice and make you feel at ease . There is never a feeling of up-selling or feeling like you are nothing more than a number like with most dentist offices. If you are looking for an incredibly talented dentist that is personable and makes you feel like family try him out, you will not be disappointed. Also of note I am terrified of the dentist and if you the same type of person this is the dentist for you to try, you won't regret it. Thanks Dr Moosavi. read more

There is something reassuring about seeing a doctor who contradicts the adage "Physician Heal Thyself" and is indeed himself in excellent health. Moosavi, an avid soccer player, is fit, energetic and attentive and one sees this in everything from his warm smile to the time he spends with his patients. I appreciate that he prioritizes any dental work I may require and is willing to say you can put this off, but this other thing you need to address right away. All this is to say, one feels comfortable in Moosavi's chair and confident in his dental expertise. Since one in is in the close company of one's dentist far longer than with one's doctor, it's a bonus that Moosavi is cheerful, plays nice music and runs a punctual office. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Moosavi for about 2 years. He is by far, the best and only dentist I would refer to any of my family and friends. He is gentle, patient, kind, and sincerely wants the best for your smile, time, and pocket. I knew he was one of a kind find when he, at a moments notice, opened up his office for me on New Years Eve because I had called him due to serious pain I was having from my permanent retainer, which had popped off several teeth and was irritating the rest of my mouth, disrupting my bite and sleep. It was very painful and Dr. Moosavi did not hesitate to come in on a day off with his family to fix it so that I could enjoy a toast at New Years with my family. The atmosphere at Dr. Moosavi's office is complete because of Terri at the front desk. You feel like if nothing else, she was going to take care of you and make sure you are going to be okay. She's warm, honest, and will answer any questions you have about insurance coverage, etc. She told me more about my coverage, printed out docs and highlighted areas to note than anyone in HR at my company. I absolutely adore Terri & Dr. Moosavi and will continue with their business as long as I live in LA. read more

I had the same family dentist since I was a kid up in the Bay Area. Now that I have my own job/insurance in LA, it was time to find a new dentist. There are MANY GEHA insurance providers in my area and I decided to check out Dr. Moosavi all because of Yelp! It also helps that his office is a short bike away from my apartment. I was very impressed with the office/staff (Terri is SO NICE) and of course Dr. Moosavi. My appointment was at 9am and I had to leave around 9:45am. Without feeling rushed, I had a complete dental exam and was out by 9:50. The x-rays took the longest but I was a new patient so that was expected. Dr. Moosavi first went over my x-rays, which is something my previous dentist NEVER did. I knew that I grinded my teeth during night time but I never saw how thin the enamel was. He also showed me a few other interesting things about my teeth. As a healthcare provider myself, patient education is SO important and I really thank Dr. Moosavi for taking the time (despite the time rush) to educate me on my teeth. I used to have braces but thought that my teeth could be straighter. I asked Dr. Moosavi for a second opinion and he said that I really didn't need it (even though honestly he could make more business if he DID recommend it). I will be returning for a custom night guard fitting :). I recommend all to see Dr. Moosavi! He really tries to get to know his patients and I enjoyed the conversation about the Bay Area and our professions in the short time we had. read more
