Trust me, just go to this Dentist. Dr. Albertson is nice and his demeanor puts you at ease immediately. Even nicer is his staff, from front office to assistant to hygienist. You feel as if you've known them forever. read more

Stephen Albertson, DDS - Dentist Office - General Dentistry Near Me - La Canada Flintridge, California

I wanted to like this office because it's close to home and the dentist is so kind, and they had a great hygenist that I loved for 2 years before she retired, but i'm giving it 2 stars because over the years I've spent very little time with the dentist and for my last visit. This last visit Dr. Albertson came in and said I had a cavity that needed filled right away. I don't normally have cavities and the urgency seemed odd, so I decided to get another opionion. I saw 2 other dentists who both confirmed it was NOT a cavity. I'm sad to say they wanted to do unnecessary work on my mouth. If you get a diagnosis, you're unsure about please get another opinion. I hope this was a one-off because i don't like to feel like I was going somewhere without integrity for a couple of years. read more

I found Dr Albertson after my former dentist retired, and boy am I glad I did. As a grad of USCs prestigeous dental school, Dr Albertson is up to date on all the latest procedures, equipment and techniques. His state-of-the-art Swiss-made CEREC CNC mill can produce a replacement tooth (or crown) in one visit, without waiting for the lab. If your time is precious, this can be a game-changer. The hygienists are gentle and efficient. Catherine usually does my cleanings twice a year. My family all go to Dr Albertson for the best, most gentle care we've ever received. read more

It's pretty phenomenal when you can find a dentist you like and trust; I've found that in Dr. Albertson. I've had a LOT of work in my mouth over the years (after not taking care of my teeth when I had braces when I was young). Over the years, I've had root canals, dental implants, veneers, and numerous other procedures, so I begrudgingly consider myself a dental care connoisseur. I've been to numerous dentists over my oral history, so finding Dr. Albertson after my old dentist retired was a welcomed relief. Plus, I realized I should've transitioned from my previous dentist sooner. Dr. Albertson's office is clean, sanitary, with comfy chairs and state of the art equipment. He's done two crowns (a porcelain, and a gold), 1 filling and I've had no issues whatsoever. The office has wonderful hygienists too -- give Kathryn and Sarah a chance to make your pearly whites shine! Thanks again, Dr. Albertson and Team! read more

Dr. Albertson is an excellent dentist. I've been his patient for over two years and I couldn't be happier with the treatment I've received. I started seeing him when I lived in West LA, and even though I now live in Burbank he is still my dentist. I hope that speaks to the confidence Dr. Albertson inspires in me as his patient, because nobody would brave that traffic if they didn't have to. Dr. Albertson is calm and skilled. He is delicate and concerned with your comfort. After filling a cavity and sanding down the excess, he adamantly tells me to be picky with whether the filling feels right, and if it doesn't he'll sand the filling until it feels natural. Like I said, I couldn't be happier with the treatment I've received, and I will continue to be his patient for years to come. read more

The best dental experience of my life. Hands down. Emergency veneer replacement: 3D scan of my mouth, a new tooth milled on the spot with perfect fit all while I finish catching up with my Instagram. Incredible. They said there would be holographic jetpacks in the future but didn't mention any of this. Couldn't be happier. Everyone at the office is super friendly, kind and respectful. read more

Excellent service with attention to detail. Office could use a good cleaning, but service and professionalism was outstanding.

When I went in for a routine cleaning, Dr. Albertson insisted I refill two cavities that had been filled years before. They hadn't been bothering me at all and I had actually forgotten about them. After agreeing and refilling the first cavity, I was in a great deal of pain and couldn't eat on that side of my mouth for a couple weeks. I went back and Dr. Albertson said he couldn't understand why I was in pain and offered to refill it, yet again. When I got a second opinion, I was told that the tooth was likely cracked during the refilling process and now, I needed a crown. This was quite alarming since my teeth are in great shape and I've only had three fillings (and now one refilling) in 32 years. Dr. Albertson's office reimbursed me for the filling, but said he couldn't do anything about the crown unless I had the procedure done by Dr. Albertson. Of course, I was not excited about having the crown done at this office, so I had had it done elsewhere. Now I'm down about $800, but at least I can eat on that side of my mouth again. I do not recommend this practice. read more

Dr Albertson is a wonderful dentist that I can trust. I love the staff in his office.

After having a wonderful dentist for 30 years I was concerned about finding an ethical, good dentist I could trust after my dentist retired. I tried a couple of dentists and always felt they were talking me into something I didn't need. One told me I needed two crowns replaced. My daughter told me about Dr. Albertson. He was gentle, kind and professional. When I asked about replacing the crowns I was told I needed ( one I remembered as #13) he said no it looked fine. I am definitely his patient from this point on plus the hygienists are so good. Great office, Dr Albertson is fantastic. I highly recommend him. read more

My first visit with Dr Albertson was great. He and the staff were professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, and they didn't try to up sell me on whitening treatments or bite guards, etc. I appreciated the office's conservative approach with x-rays being every few years rather than at every appointment. Dr Albertson was very patient and answered all of my questions, and gave me an excellent cleaning. read more

This is the best dentist in the world!! I really mean it. The professionalism and expertise and staff are outstanding and you will be in good hands!! From setting up your appointment with Erika and getting your teeth cleaned with Nikki (she is the very best hygienist I have ever had) to the cleanliness and comfort that I feel as a patient, there is nothing better. They even give bible gum dental floss. I've never looked forward to flossing so much. This has been a great experience!! read more

Dr. Albertson is seriously a great dentist, by far the best experience I've had at a dentist office. He was fair and honest in pricing, as well with what I needed done. It was the best cleaning I've had and the two fillings he had to do were painless (after the shot we all dread) and the color matching was spot on, it's seamless to where I couldn't even tell which teeth he'd done. His laid back demeanor and easy going personality put me at ease, as well the rest of the office and crew. Highly recommend!! read more

Dr Albertson is one of the few dentist that is excellent in color matching. He is very knowledgeable and does a great job in making sure that you are aware of issues that might need to be taken care in the future. I got the very best teeth cleaning that I have ever had. If you don't like dentist, you will have to go to Dr Albertson because you will leave loving him. read more

THE BEST! All of my visits with Dr. Albertson have been smooth & painless. The staff is very attentive and seems to genuinely care about your comfort. Dr. Albertson replaced one of my crowns in just one sitting! The whole process was done in a couple hours!! It seems that they use a lot of cutting edge technology around this office to make everyone's life easier. I highly recommend visiting Dr. Albertson if your looking for a dentist in the Santa Monica area. read more

I'd like to start out by saying , I am one of the few people who actually enjoy going to the dentist. Why make it a miserable experience when you don't have to, you know?? Even more enjoyable with Dr Albertson. His demeanor and professionalism put me at ease right away, like he is someone you can trust. I wanted to leave a testimonial for him because when you are looking for great dental care, it's easy to find shitty careless take-your-money dentists, and so difficult to find honest, intelligent & caring ones. I will be recommending to my friends as well as Yelp friends. Thanks Doc , you da best. read more

Dr. Albertson is an excellent dentist: he's very gentle and professional, and was excellent at color matching when he fixed a chip in my tooth.

Dr. Albertson is a wiz! He made sure I was comfortable and walked me through all my options. He is super knowledgeable and is clearly passionate. He fixed a crown issue created by a past dentist. He is amazing. Look no further for an exceptional dentist. read more

I had to find a new dentist a couple months ago, since my lifelong family dentist just retired. I found Dr. Albertson and I couldn't be more thrilled. Not only is the office is up to date and clean, but his staff is beyond lovely and welcoming. As soon as I sat down in the chair, my nerves were put right to ease. He was super knowledgable and happy to answer any questions that came up. Plus, he was beyond gentle while working on my smile. Dr. Albertson is a one-of-a-kind dentist and I'd highly recommend! read more

My crown I've had for 15 years popped out unexpectedly while flossing one night. I somewhat panicked because this has never happened before. Dr. Albertson was able to see me first thing in the morning. He immediately put me at ease and assured me everything would be fine. He did a thorough analysis and determined it was ok to reseal the same crown back on my tooth which saved me from buying a new crown (thank goodness). He was very patient and checked in with me each step of the way to make sure I was comfortable and not in any pain. I was even allowed to pick my own Pandora station to help relax me. He made sure my bite was completely back to normal and that I was pleased with the results before I left - it actually feels better than it did before. In a sea of dentists in LA, it's hard to know who to trust and with Dr. Albertson you'll be in great hands. As long as I'm in LA, my dentist he will be. Namaste folks. read more

Dr. Albertson is friendly and talented, but also very honest. You get the feeling that he is not trying to up-sell you on proposed treatment; rather, his conservative approach reassures you that he's got your best interest at heart. I would recommend him to anyone who values feeling valued. He's the type of doctor that you want to find and just stick with for life. read more

Dr. Albertson is the nicest, coolest dentist I have ever had the opportunity to see. He is friendly and gentle, but most importantly he is up on all the newest medical technologies. I was impressed by his USC credentials! After my experience with Dr. Stephen I am happily bringing my husband and family over to him too. read more

Dr. Albertson managed to turn a routine dentist visit into a very pleasant experience. I hadn't been to the dentist in quite some time (about 3 or 4 years) and needless to say I needed a deep cleaning. Because of this, Dr Albertson made sure to provide a very thorough and comprehensive exam/cleaning. I was expecting to have one of the Dental assistance provide the cleaning after my x-rays and exam, but I was pleasantly surprised when Dr. Albertson did the entire cleaning himself. Again, I hadn't been to the dentist in a long time and this cleaning ended up taking a considerable amount of time. Dr. Albertson gave me the most thorough/detailed cleaning I've ever had. As physically uncomfortable as getting your gums scraped is, Dr. Albertson worked at a good pace and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. He even let me pick the Pandora station I wanted to listen to during the nearly hour long cleaning. Long story short, Dr. Albertson is an easy going guy who really knows his stuff and cares about his patients. I will be going back to him and I highly recommend his professional services to others. read more
