My brother referred me years ago and that was the best reference. First, secretary, Liz is the sweetest! Always smiles and greets you when you come in. Dr. Curtis assistants are knowledgeable and are quick but efficient with cleaning. Lastly, Dr. Curtis is very polite and approacable. He does not come across as intimidating as I always have questions (x-rays, recommendations for a thorough at home cleaning (which he has a handout created with his suggestions); and he communicates effectively. It's a nice drive (always traffic) from my house but definitely worth the trip. I highly recommend Dr. Curtis for all your dental needs. read more

I had a dental visit with Dr.Curtis today. He is so personable and explained everything to me that I could understand. This was my first time at his office and he made me feel so comfortable. I would definitely recommend this dental office and look forward to getting my treatment done in his beautiful office. read more

Great dentist, lovely staff! No body really wants to got to the dentist but Dr Curtis and his staff make the whole experience as good as it can be! Highly recommend read more

If you're looking for a dentist that makes inappropriate comments, picks up phone calls, and is answering questions from staff about other patients all while doing your dental work then Curtis is your guy. If you still decide to see him I recommend ensuring that one of the hygienists or other dental staff are in the room with you to avoid experiencing comments like "wow don't ever let a guy tell you your mouth is too big" and being called sweet cheeks. This man is a creep, doesn't take the time to answer questions and laughs off any concerns you might have about his recommended dental work. He also doesn't recall the dental work he does for you and so when you call about a dental concern he mixes up which tooth he did work on and immediately jumps to invasive dental procedures. I'm so glad I decided to go elsewhere for my dental work after the many red flags that this dentist portrayed. read more

This dentist provides Excellent service, with , short wait time and a very Caring staff. Very professional yet friendly atmosphere read more

We have been going to Dr. Curtis for about 20 years, and we have moved within that time. However, we still make that commute because it is worth it. Dr. Curtis is honest, caring, professional, and very knowledgeable. His staff is the same. We highly recommend Dr. Curtis. read more

Dr. Ron Curtis has been our family dentist for 13 years! He is an exceptional dentist ~ a cut above the rest! His staff is amazing, the office is always immaculate. We feel so blessed to have found him. He is professional, friendly and caring, just an all round great human being. We moved to Long Beach 8 years ago, but still make the drive up to Playa Del Rey for our dental appointments with Dr. Curtis! Thank you Dr. Curtis for making the world a better place. read more

Dr Curtis is The Best Dentist in CA. He is compassionate, understanding and communicates with full explination of options that can satisfy you personal needs. I have bern a patient for over 14 years and my sister even longer so, I know for sure who Dr Curtis is as a Professional Dentist and Teacher who not only knows his craft, Loves his craft and takes excellent care of his patients. Thank You Doc, I appreciate you and how I never feel pain and discomfort after YOUR skillful work on my mouth. read more

I've been going to Dr. Curtis for over 12 years. He is a great dentist and he provides excellent dental care. I highly recommend him.

This office is as good as it gets. Dr. Curtis is awesome. Really friendly, all smiles, makes you feel comfortable and I'm a total chicken at the dentist and he made me feel calm, well as calm as I could feel being at the dentist. But more than anything, his staff is out of this world! Liz went above and beyond for me helping me figure out my insurance and making sure I was making the best decisions possible so I can save as much as possible through my insurance. Since dentist visits, even with insurance, can still be pricey, she really took her time to look into things for me and helped me figure it out. This REALLY helped me a lot with my anxiety. As much as I am terrified of going to the dentist because I'm afraid it will be painful, I am always so much more terrified of what the final cost will be and if I can actually afford to take care of my dental needs. I highly recommend Dr. Curtis' office. If you want a friendly knowledgeable doctor and a kick ass staff who has your best interest at heart, I say give them a call and set up that appointment. Oh and all this exam rooms are themed. I've been in the lakers room and LMU room so far :) creative... read more

Ron R. Curtis, DDS - Exam chair - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Playa Del Rey, California

See all

I was searching for a dentist that was open during the CoVid-19 Shelter in Place...thank God I found Dr.Curtis' office. He was the only office that called me back, the front desk woman was so kind and reminded me with all the appointment details via text and emailed me the paperwork so I did not have to fill it out in the office. They took every precaution to keep patients separated and no one was in waiting room. Each patient is given hand sanitizer before waking into the a private room and you could tell everything was sanitized after each patient. I had X-rays (digital quick) and my leaning. My hygienist, Claudia, was so sweet and VERY thorough. My cleanings from previous dentists were always rushed and they gave little feedback. Claudia was really lovely and cleaned every little thing off my teeth. Dr. Curtis has another associate dentist, Dr. Delano Hankins, who is equally as kind, helpful, personable and caring with patients. At the end, they even gave me a cute gift bag of dental goodies! I would highly recommend booking your next cleaning or dental procedure with his office. read more

My family and I have been patients of Dr. Ron Curtis for more than 15 years. Dr. Ron and his staff are just top-of-the-line professional. Dr. Ron does impeccable work; and now he has Dr. Hankins on the team, who is already up to speed with servicing patients. I am very particular about my teeth and who works in my mouth. Dr. Hankins repaired a chipped front bottom tooth (#24) just this past Friday, January 22 and did a wonderful job! I was very impressed. His chair-side demeanor is very much like Dr. Ron's...always checking to ensure you are comfortable and not in any discomfort. The Dental Hygienists also doing a great job with the preventive dental care. They compliment the two docs and rest of the support staff. If you need a GREAT DENTAL TEAM, do not hesitate to go to Dr. Ron's office. You will not regret it. read more

Dr Ron has been my family's dentist for many years. Epitome of professionalism and sensitivity.

Dr. Ronald Curtis has the best service. They provide great dental work and the office has many COVID19 safety protocols in place. I feel safe when I enter his office. He has clean air (air purifier in lobby) and anti-bacterial protocols, among other protocols to keep me safe. read more

I went to Dr. Curtis for many years while I was living in LA. I did my regular cleanings there and he also extracted a couple wisdom teeth. He and and the staff are friendly and easy to be around. Everyone always came into the room prepared, already having reviewed their notes on my previous visits. I was a cash customer. What I liked most is that their prices were decent and they never tried to sell me anything. I'd still be going there if I hadn't moved. read more

I'm not one to rant and rave about dentists, but I love love love this place. I was introduced to it because after a faulty dentist experience (eeks) my roomie suggested I go to hers. I had such a great experience!!! The staff are really sweet and nice to be around. They have these little tvs you can watch in the exam room while you're waiting, which was kinda cool. I had 2 wisdom teeth pulled quite painlessly and had my teeth cleaned. It was the best dental experience I'd had to date, and after my insurance took care of their part, my bill was very reasonable. They were even nice enough to explain every single bit to me after it was obvious that I didn't completely get what they were talking about. Best part, afterwards I got 2 purple toothbrushes. I felt like a little kid again, grasping at knick knacks from the treasure box. Only this time, I'm 22 and it's tooth brushes. Whatevs. I will go here until I leave LA, PPO or not. ps- They're also great about fitting you in if you need something done right away. read more

I hate dentists. I hate dentists with a passion, even good dentists. I love Dr. Curtis though. First of all, I love his state of the art equipment, they have digital x-rays which you see right away, and makes it easier for them to explain things to me right in front of me. His staff is the greatest and they always answer my questions. I had not one, but two - TWO - root canals this year and they didn't hurt. Ask Dr. Curtis, I asked him to pull my teeth rather than go through the drilling and other procedures. I didn't even need antibiotics - silly me. His treatment rooms have TVs near the ceiling so you can watch a show if you can keep your eyes open. They also have an in-house lab where they make some of their own crowns and dental "things" - I don't know the terminology - but it keeps you from having to wait too long between appointments since they can make what they need when they need it instead of going to an outside vendor. I have a lot of metal fillings, I asked about replacing them, Dr. Curtis' philosophy is, "if it works, don't mess with it". He's the first person to ever tell me that the pretty white fillings don't last as long as my metal ones. That's good enough for me. I'm not worried abut mercury and metals in the fillings and all that, it was good enough for my family and we seem to be doing ok - no mad hatters :) I don't know about how they do billing and stuff, but I'm sure they take all insurance, and they will sit and talk to you about payment options and coverage in a very patient and respectful manner. His hygenists are wonderful, one even numbs my gums when she does regular cleanings (I'm such a baby!), and there are tons of free toothbrushes in the lobby to share with friends and keep in your travel kits. They also have cookies in the lobby too, but I try to stay away from them :) There is street parking and a parking lot in the back, their building is right next to an Elk's lodge. read more

First let me start by saying I absolutely fear going to the Dentist. I've had several bad experiences and it's so hard to find a good dentist that does good work and that you can trust! I've been to several other dentists who are pushy, unfriendly or untrustworthy. However, Dr. Curtis and his staff are kind, courteous and extremely calming. I know I'm in good hands with them. I can't stress enough how much I recommend Dr. Curtis and his staff. His hygienists are thorough and thoughtful people. Dr. Curtis insists on seeing on all his patients, even if it's just for a cleaning. He also constantly keeps his patients in the loop as far as what he's about to look for, do, or how he is diagnosing what happening with your teeth. The best part is... he is absolutely painless. I have always hated getting shots and Dr. Curtis is a magician because I never felt one needle. I've been here a few times and I will never go to another dentist again. OH and if you're afraid of dentist, then see Dr. Curtis ...he will put you at ease. I highly recommend this practice if you are looking for a new dentist. read more

I am a 50 year old man. I have feared dentist since i was about 8 years old. I had a client refer me to Dr Curtis and it has been the best experience ever. I have not experienced any pain whether getting a filing or correcting an abscess. Dr. Curtis is very patient and explains procedures well, prior to beginning. He numbed me each time whithout me feeling a pinch. I visited his office approx. 5-6 times within a month and each time the experience was perfect. I never felt a bit pain after the procedures either. My previous dentist always made me feel uncomfortable by how they tried to sell me more than dental service than I actually needed, so they could make money. They even had me feeling as though my teeth were in horrible shape. Dr. Curtis explained to me that my teeth were in good shape minus a few procedures. They explained the fees required to do the necessary procedures and I still had money left over. Dr Curtis has a very professional team from the time you enter his office to the Dental Assistant that stands next to you and holds your hand while he administers the anesthesia. This is the best freaking dentist in the world!!!! read more

I am a new patient with Dr. Curtis, but I like the treatments I have received. I would recommend him to my family and friends.

Dr. Curtiss has been my dentist for years, he and Liz are the only reason I actually have teeth (haha). I have a serious phobia of the dentist, but the Doc and Liz are particularly awesome they put you at ease and do great work with very little discomfort. Dr. Curtiss always checks in on you even if he isn't doing your treatment and he really works with and cares about his patients. My whole family comes here and we all have nothing but great things to say about him and his staff! read more

Dr. Curtis and his staff are awesome! I have been coming here for about a year now. This has to be my favorite dentist office- hands down! We all HATE having to get our teeth x-rayed, but the Assistants are friendly and totally willing to work with you if you just speak up. Both Hygienist are gentle and professional. Neither Dr. Curtis or the Hygienist tried to up-sale me on services or pressure me into procedures I did not need. The office is really clean and someone (if not everyone) is always laughing, telling a joke and smiling. That sort of environment eases that anxiety about going to the dentist. The office is decorated in sports memorabilia from all over LA and there are T.V.'s to watch while you're having your teeth cleaned. Get your teeth cleaned, people! It's good for your health. read more

I went here to get my teeth cleaned for the first time at a new dentist yesterday. I would always wait to get it done when I went back 'home' to see my childhood dentist, but since I'm not able to get back there and I have named Playa del Rey home now it was about time to find a new dentist. Thanks to the Yelp reviews you sent me to the right place! I was able to WALK here which was AWESOME!! The hygienist was very nice and gentle and informed me right off the bat that I probably have a cavity, which I appreciate because I want to know what's going on in my mouth! I love the fact that there are TVs...my childhood hygienist would try to talk to me and it's hard to do that when you have all these tools in your mouth. The only thing that was uncomfortable was getting the x-rays done...she must have done around 15ish different x-rays and sometimes the thing they stick in your mouth was uncomfortable but I guess that comes with the territory. Dr. Curtis was super nice, made me feel comfortable when he was checking out my cavity and said my teeth are in great shape. I have to go back in a few weeks to get the cavity filled and feel completely confident that it is going to go smoothly and be painless. Highly recommend!! read more

Dr. Curtis has been my dentist for several years now I have had multiple treatments done there and all I can say is I feel no pain when I'm getting treatment he's the best in the west and the staff is very professional be sure to get a call the next day from someone in the office to make sure that your doing ok. and if your looking for a pain free dentist you have found your dentist he's the king of numbing and just a great over all person hands down and very skilled dentist that uses quality product. read more

Dr. Curtis and his staff are great! Marquette took the time to answer all my questions and squeeze me in for a last minute appointment on a Friday morning. I had recently had a horrible experience at a dental office and was a little leery. However I walked out of Dr. Curtis' office with a HUGE smile. The hygienist did a thorough cleaning, and was very gentle. Once Dr. Curtis came in he noted my large fillings but only recommended one new filling. My last dentist had told me I needed four crowns and when I brought that up he assured me that I did not need any crowns. My old fillings were holding up just fine. Needless to say I was ecstatic. I am SO thankful I swapped dentists instead of subjecting my teeth to unnecessary (and expensive) crowns. Thank you Dr. Curtis for saving my teeth! read more

How many people can say they love their dental practice? Not many! I've been going to the Ron R. Curtis Dental practice for a few years now and have been very happy. The staff is very pleasant, fun and attentive and they try to make you as comfortable as possible. Dr. Curtis is very personable and stops by to talk to you about tips on keeping your teeth healthy when you are only getting a teeth cleaning. If you are a patient of Dr. Curtis, you are very fortunate! read more

Ron R. Curtis, DDS - Entrance From Parking Area - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Playa Del Rey, California

I can't even trip Dr. Curtis & his staff are the truth! After bouncing around from various dentist trying to find the right one. I'm happy to say they made the cut. Staff is professional & courteous, and Doc knows what he's doing. I'd definitely recommend. read more

I was unable to get an appointment with my regular dentist, whom I really love and found Dr. Curtis through Yelp. What a find! I am looking into switching over to him permanently. Dr. Curtis was extremely patient with me, an admitted denti-phobe. He explained my options thoroughly and explained the best options to meet my financial constraints, which is rare! Friendly, caring, patient AND ethical! Staff was friendly too which is a big plus as we have all experienced rude and impatient front office staff. As a first-time patient I had very minimal wait time to get in to see Dr. Curtis. I will be referring my friends and family to Dr. Curtis and returning to him with my children as well! read more

Best dentist ever! Absolutely no pain. I drive over 70 miles to Dr Curtis cause there's no one better.

Great Dentist! I've been quite satisfied with Dr. Curtis and staff over the years, and have referred several people. Very professional and attentive. read more

I want to start by saying that Dr. Curtis has been my dentist for at least 14 years...and I can't stress enough how thorough and professional he is when I have work done on my teeth! I am not one to take the time to write reviews, but after a recent visit to his office, I thought everyone should know about Dr. Curtis and his expertise in dentistry. After all of these years he still takes the time to explain any procedure he performs and why. His knowledge coupled with the care he takes with each patient has always impressed me and I have over the years referred many family members and friends. We all have the same sentiments! His staff is friendly and professional as well! The sports themed patient rooms make it a pleasurable experience! He just needs one more room to represent the Bruins! I highly recommend Dr. Curtis as the number one choice in dentists! read more

Dr. Curtis and his staff are hands down the absolute BEST in the area. My mom and I have been patients of his since he was in the medical building on sepulveda and manchester (just up the street from where he's located now) and we wouldn't dare go to anyone else. It's a very warm and inviting environment and awsome place to get a tooth pulled and cleaned! lol read more

Dr. Curtis and staff are wonderful! He was recommended to me by a friend and I can't say thank you too many times! Every visit I'm greeted upon entry with a friendly face, and the atmosphere remains that way the entire visit. Dr. Curtis and his dental assistants are so kind and gentle that I don't get apprehensive. Even my kids are happy going here. I've been to dentists in the past who have a sales pitch for different services the offer (teeth whitening, etc.,) while they check my teeth, but Dr. Curtis has never been anything but professional and has yet to make me feel pressured to buy any services beyond what my check-up requires. I highly recommend Dr. Curtis!!! read more

Dr Curtis is the best dentist I've had since I was a kid. He's very knowledgeable, honest, and a great guy. He doesn't try to upsell you on services you don't need. The techs are skilled and polite, and the office staff is just as great. When I was about to get my wisdom teeth pulled, he checked the shape of the wisdom teeths' roots, and decided it would be in my best interests that I go to an oral surgeon he knows well. Many dentists would do the job themselves, and leave you to deal with the results. But since Dr Curtis handed me off to an oral surgeon, I had zero swelling after the teeth got pulled. read more

When you're sweating over getting numerous shots but you barely feel the first... When you almost fall asleep while your tooth is getting filed and prepped for a crown... When the only reason you don't fall asleep is because the dentist keeps checking to make sure you're doing ok... You've got a great dentist!! Thanks Dr. Curtis read more

I wish I could give Dr. Curtis & Staff 10 stars...Very Professional Staff and Very Professional Dentist...Highly Recommended!! Had an appointment for a cleaning and Kristen the Dental Hygienist was awesome and made me feel very comfortable and explained everything that was being done. Upon completion of my cleaning Dr. Curtis came in and he was the BEST he examined me and went over my X-Rays and was very thorough in explaining my Dental Plan of Action and it made me feel very comfortable and at ease. read more

Dr. Curtis is really good. Easily the best dentist I've had. He's good, skilled and very ethical. I was in a situation this year, where I had a tooth that had a failure on the root canal (after 10 years of getting the root canal done.) He told me the cost of three different options.... and the reality of their ability to succeed. He told me his recomendation, which was the cheapest of the choices, and was in deed the best. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star, was I had an appointment with Dr. Curtis. I unfortunately had to cancel the same day (due to illness.) Instead of a "Ok, reschedule when you can." The receptionist gave me a 10min lecture on calling in well in advance. I asked the receptionist how I could call her to tell her I'll be sick, before I'm sick? She said I should call and say, "I may or may not be able to make it." :) So basically I should call the dentist office and say, "I may or may not be able to make it next week, due to unforeseen circumstances that may or may not occur in the near future." No need to lecture, or throw passive aggressive comments to bull bait customers into a reaction. I mean, why would you bull bait a customer? You really want your customers to react? What do customers do when they react? They go to YELP for crying out loud. I almost gave a 2 star over this, but realized that this wasn't reflective of the dentist. The Dentist is 5 stars all the way. What makes Dr. Curtis a 5 Star, is that he really cares. I have seen other dentist's since, and none compare to the detail and concern that he has for his patients. He is by far, the best around that I've been to. read more

Such an amazing dentist office! Friendly staff, hardly ever a wait, and they really put in the time to check your teeth. Definitely go if you are new to the area or looking to switch. read more

My wife and I have been coming to Dr Curtis for over ten years... Has helped get our teeth and gums healthy and has a great staff

I located Dr. Curtis through my insurance and went in today for a routine cleaning/examination. I was a little skeptical about what X-Rays would be covered due to a previous negative experience with another Dentist, but the office staff were totally understanding and actually showed me my benefit coverage on paper before proceeding which really impressed me. Next, it was time for the cleaning and the hygienist was great as well. She had a friendly personality and did an excellent job cleaning my teeth; always checking to make sure that I was comfortable. After the cleaning, Dr. Curtis came in to go over my X-Rays. I found him to be a nice guy and trustworthy. He stated nothing jumped out at him from the X-Rays and did not recommend any additional procedures. Woohoo! We then discussed some orthodontic work that I am wanting to get done, so he gave me some helpful info and a solid recommendation for a local orthodontist. Thank you, Dr. Curtis, and staff! read more
