Dr Elyson has been my dentist for over a decade. I used to hate going to the dentist but Dr Elyson is such a great dentist. I have had several root canals, and each time i fall asleep because Dr Elyson is so gentle, i just felt pressure, but zero pain. Then his staff is wonderful, and very welcoming. I have known Angela and Bandi the longest and they always made me feel at home, as did Kathy, and Melanie today. There are more names which i have forgotten, so forgive me for not mentioning you. My very elderly parents (90 and 83) also love to go see the staff and Dr Elyson. They comfort them and work patiently with them when they become anxious, which is a great asset when dealing with very elderly patients, and i appreciate the treatment my parents receive each time. GOD bless you all Shalom shalom read more

The dentist tried to floss my bridge like regular teeth. I was shocked. They did not have the necessary X-ray equipment and said I should go elsewhere to have the scan done. read more

I am glad I was able to locate this place a couple years ago. Since day one, the staff have been amazing. Dr Elyson has worked on my teeth every visit and he is fantastic. Bandi, Angela, Maria and everyone else there are hilarious, welcoming but most of all pleasant to be around. Honestly they are sooooo amazing that when I went on my "work expedition", I would fly all the way back to Los Angeles for my check ups. That is how good they are. read more

Another good check up!!! Absolutely love this place. Their entire team is amazing !!! Thanks for keeping my teeth healthy, because they have to last me a lifetime!!! read more

This dental office is by far the best one I have received treatment from. The office provides all of the dental services you need! From the moment you walk in you feel welcomed and are attended to. The whole office team is amazing!! Angela, Bandi, Maria, Kathy are all great! Dr. Elyson, who is my primary dentist does the best work! I do not feel anything when receiving treatment, which is always what I look for when choosing a dentist! I was always switching dentists' because of the pain I was put through, but after coming here for 2 years with treatment being completely painless; I am glad I have found an amazing dentist! read more

Just transferred over to Smiles LA! The staff is great. Family friendly to say the least! It was my son's first time getting a check up there. The staff greeted him from the door and convinced him he'd be alright to go without mommy. They played a child movie on the tv during his exam and gave him a toy! To get a 3 year old to be excited about his dental exam was impressive! And I appreciated this the most. Also, very fast and attentive with patients. My exam was fast and Dr. did a great assessment. I also needed a minor oral surgery that they got approved through my insurance in an impressive time frame. I'm able to get this work done before returning to work. Staff that go out of their way shows the care they put into their career and profession, it matters. Highly recommended! Clean office as well. read more

I would like to start off by saying this dentistry has the utmost professionalism and world class customer service I have experience at any dental office. I'm sure many people are like me, trying to find a dentist that you trust and can go to. I was looking to have 2 of my left wisdom tooth removed (one surgical and the other an extraction) I called and was immediately provided all the information about the procedure. From the pre-medication to the post recovery steps. We were also able to schedule an appointment that was convenient for me since I work full time. The extraction went perfectly and I was anticipating some pain for the next couple of days but surprisingly, no pain whatsoever! I would highly recommend Smiles LA to any of my family, friends, and co-workers because they took great care of me and I am happy to say that Smiles LA is my permanent dental office now! read more

After a long over-due dental visit I decided to give Smiles LA a try and I must say I am glad I did. The staff was verfy friendly and professional and I was in for my checkup within minutes of my arrival. Dr. Assili was very thorought and explained all I needed to know. There was no pressure to try and sell me procedures I did not need or want, it felt more like an honest conversation with a good friend. I would highly recommend this place. read more

I was looking for a second opinion on a treatment and a new dentist because it felt my old one didn't care much about my oral health. I found a beautiful and clean office with people that right away showed they cared about me as a person not just another patient to work on. I got my second opinion which was thoroughly explained which I appreciated. Got my work done then and there and was out of there for in no time feeling content with having found a new and much better dentist. read more

All I can say is I wish I can give this office an additional 5 stars.. The office is very clean and as soon as you arrive you get greated with a smile. The staff is very professional from the front desk receptionist to the assistants that ask you questions until you meet the doctor they are all great. I appreciated how flexible and dedicated everyone is with assistance. The doctor makes sure that he answer all of your questions before you leave and that always shows that you care about your patients. Finally talking to the office manager made my visit even better. She goes above and beyond with her costumer service . Thank you Smile staff for making me have a awesome experience . read more

First time there and really enjoyed the experience! Dentists scare me so I went in very nervous. Everyone was very nice and helpful with calming me and my anxiety of a dentist, including Dr. Ramin. I really felt absolutely no pain. He was very attentive, careful, delicate and patient. He made me feel very comfortable and I think that is very hard to find. He wasn't even supposed to do any work but was able to squeeze me in last minute to take care of some cavities. I'm sure he was working into his lunch, which I really appreciated. He was quick and thorough. Ie was always checking to see how I was doing and that I wasn't experiencing any pain. I will be definitely going back to get the rest of my work done there and encourage everyone to see Dr Ramin. I can honestly say that I'm not fearful to go back to dentist because of him. He's got a patient for life. read more

I have been coming here for over 3 years. I was completely terrified of the dentist and in fact cried on my first visit. I did plenty of research on other dentist locations and decided to give Smiles LA a try. I am so happy I did. I cannot recommend this dentist place enough. The staff makes you so comfortable in fact they make you feel like you have been friends for years. The Drs know exactly what they are doing and are very patient. I was able to get invisalign and I know it was the best decision of my life. Thank you everyone at Smiles LA! read more

I found this dentist thru yelp! Now I know why this dentist has so many good reviews. After given an appointment almost imidiately after making the call. They brought me in took x-rays and REALLY took care of me. This has been the best experience at any dental office by far. I guess I have yelp to take for finding this place. I want to thank all the wonderful staff especially the Manager Angela for taking care of everything for me with an awesome attitude. Maria the dental assistant makes you feel comfortable and relaxed with her sense of humor and making the visit a little bit more pleasant. read more

Well after fighting Cancer I was so afraid to hit the dentist. I was refered to Smiles. LA by my cousin. Well got my first appointment with a tooth ache. I was a nervous wreck when I met the dentist explain to the doctor what I had been through and he told me not to worry he would do his best to not hurt me just relax and lete take care of you. Alright well he pulled the tooth with much care and fixed it. We proceeded with speaking about taking care of all my teeth. So the process has begun. I now how a full set of top teeth which he carefully made sure I didn't feel anything. I'm over joyed with the Doctor and not to mention all the ladies that help run his office. The respect and relationship these ladies have with him. They are there for support, guidance, and help you get the best work and not cost millions of dollars. I cannot Thank my cousin Maria for the recommendation. And to the Doctor & the girls YOUR THE BEST read more

Im a first time new patient. I called different dental offices because I was on a budget and I know I had some short of Co pay and wanted to make sure I stayed on budget. Other places wanted me to come in first to check my insurance and give me a check up and a schedule another appointment to remove my wisdom teeth. I was in so much pain and I wasn't planning on waiting. I called Monday and Angela helped me so much!! Scheduled me the next day and Dr. Assili was fast in pulling them out. I must admit I was really NERVOUS and scared. I avoided to go to the dentist all together but I must say I had a great experience. There staff is AMAZING! my first time there and the girls were super friendly and I felt at home! Can't wait to go for my next visit! Thanks so much to Angela for helping me understand how my insurance works and for going that extra mile when I was nervous. She's awesome! read more

Beyond excellent service from the time you check in to the time you check out. I stopped in for an emergency. I cracked my rear right side upper molar eating a pb&j sandwich .. yeah anyway, so Angela greets me, gets the x rays done (stat), & I see Dr. Elyson... advised I need a crown. Angela gave me killer price, agreed & signed. Dr Elyson explained the process started I didn't feel the needle some grinding , molding and measurements done, popped in the temporary crown and out 45 minutes I say at most. Faster than my dealer can service my car... Thank you Angela, Maria, Bandi, staff and Dr. Elyson... read more

After having numerous bad experiences at previous Dental offices, I was very nervous, when I first met in consultation with Dr. Assili. He was nice professional and put me at ease with all my dental concerns. He really made me feel very comfortable and explained in detail the treatment that he recommended. My front teeth were so stained and different sizes I couldn't even smile. Thanks to Dr. Assili for providing veneers on my front teeth my teeth are straight, whiter, and they look all symmetrical and I'm able to smile without being embarrassed. Thanks to the wonderful staff who made every visit very comfortable and warming. I appreciate all your care. I'm able to smile again. Thank You. read more

Ive been a patient of the office for over a yr now & I must say it's been nothing but excellent service every time. Since day one, Dr Assili , Bendi, and Angela along with the back office staff have been not only nice & welcoming but extremely helpful. They make you feel comfortable and at ease. The facility is super nice and clean. Always a plus. Definitely recommend them. read more

I've been having mixed feelings about doing this review but since I came here solely based on the Yelp reviews, I decided to write about my experience at Smiles LA. This is my honest review based on my experience and my intentions are not to criticize. First off, I would like to give Dr. Assili 5 stars and thank him for doing the amazing job he did on my fillings. He put me at ease and answered all my questions/concerns. He was really great! If he had a separate Yelp account, I would gladly give him the recognition he deserves. Oh and another 5 stars for office cleanliness and convenient location. Okay, so down to the nitty gritty. Here are the reasons why I was less than a satisfied customer: 1. When I arrived at my first appointment, the receptionist brought to my attention that she had been calling me to confirm my appointment. I told her that I have horrible reception and that sometimes my phone doesn't even ring. In a rude tone, she replies "Yeah, but that's why we left you a voicemail so you could call us back. And we also sent you a text message reminder. If you hadn't showed up, your slot could have been given to another patient". Totally understandable, but seriously don't scold your patients for not calling back. I'm really good with keeping my appointments and if I did have to cancel, I'm not inconsiderate, I would have notified them. 2. After the X-rays and check up with Dr. Assili, I was sent to a room to discuss the fees of my treatment plan. Let me tell you, I don't have perfect teeth and I knew I needed a lot of work done. It was overwhelming to hear how much it would cost me (even with insurance) but they suggested I could do a little bit of work at a time so the costs didn't seem too excessive. Okay, I could do that. We set an appointment for some fillings that I needed done. When I arrived the following week, I told the receptionist that I only wanted the front tooth filling done and I pointed to it. Well it wasn't until the Dr. numbed me that I realized he had done the wrong side. I told the dental assistant about it and she looked at the paperwork filled out by the receptionist and she had said that the receptionist had put the wrong information. I told her that I wanted to do the other side and the dental assistant told me "Are you sure? That one looks like its going to be a root canal, and if the Dr. starts the filling and notices that you need a root canal, we are going to have to perform it and you will not be able to leave until its done. Root canals also cost about $400+". I was shocked and I told her that in the treatment plan there was no mention of a root canal. That's when I told her if I could speak to the Dr. and I asked him what the probability was of needing a root canal. Guess what he said? "There's about a 99% chance, that you will NOT need a root canal". I was relieved but at the same time pissed off that the dental assistant scared me for nothing! He did the fillings and they looked great. 3. I called them more than a month ago to follow up on getting my treatment plan faxed or mailed to me, in which the receptionist replied that they had sent it out already. As of today, April 13th (Mamba Day), I have not received it and I don't think they ever sent it out. Its sad because I really liked Dr. Assili but I have no plans on returning due to the unprofessional staff. A helpful tip to the staff and anyone working in the medical or customer service field: Treat every patient or client as if they are a sibling, relative, or loved one. read more

Great staff kind and courteous . Excellent Dr's affordable and always open to appointments. Small place makes u feel like if your family. Highly recommend this place you will love it . read more

Everything was great but a couple of days later one the girls that works there gave me a call for something unrelated to Dental care. She got my personal information for personal use. I guess they don't know of HIPPA. Patients privacy is very important to me. read more

This is a horrible dental office. According to them, my "dentist" is on vacation, isn't coming back until Feb. 2016. They can see me as a "private patient", meaning my services aren't covered by my insurance, and will pay out of pocket due to the fact that the other dentist don't take HMO, only PPO. I call my insurance company, who calls them directly. Smiles LA says they can see me, "Of Course". They don't tell my insurance they said as a private patient. The receptionist, "Bandy or Sandy", whatever her name is says she'll call back, and doesn't. Not to mention, she is the most unprofessional, arrogant, ignorant, and most unwilling to help you. Asked her to give me the name of her supervisor, and my assigned dentist after 3 days of back and forth with her. Refuses to do so, and says I am being rude. Of course, after lies and lies, unwillingness to help, getting a different answer every time I call and different answers to the insurance company, anyone would be fed up and rude. You are calling to get help, and you aren't providing it. If the dentist is on vacation, whoever is there should be able to help you and take your insurance. After all, you are the assigned dental provider!!! This office is the worst as far as care and customer service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have changed my dental provider, do not waste your time on this dentist office!! read more

This place was recommended by my mom who lives in the area and I'm glad I came. I've had bad experiences before as well as a lot of work done so I'm always a little apprehensive of dentist and stay away as long as possible but my gums on one side were hurting and I didn't want to put it off any longer. I was able to schedule an apointment for the next day when I called. I was seen promptly and the staff was very friendly. Dr. assili throughly explained the condition of my mouth and I was relieved that no painful procedure was required (it was a few deep gum pockets that was causing issue). I also got a cleaning which was very gentle which I appreciated given how much work I've had. I have no dental insurance and I thought the prices were affordable. I actually feel like coming back in 6 months for a checkup like you're supposed to! read more
