However, upon arrival, the receptionist informed me that I was booked for an extraction and replacement instead. When I explained that this was incorrect, she dismissed my concern and simply stated that the doctor would decide what I needed. Despite arriving on time, I waited nearly two hours past my scheduled appointment. Feeling completely unvalued, I eventually notified the staff that I was leaving. I have been a patient at this dentist offices for about five years, tolerating previous poor experiences solely due to the convenient location. It is clear they are now overbooking appointments to prioritize profit over patient care, and they no longer show basic concern for their clients' time or well-being. I will not be returning and cannot recommend this practice.

He is thorough, honest, and consistently resolves issues with great care and precision. Most importantly, he is a dentist you can genuinely trust. I highly recommend him.

They were the only dentist office that didn't demand I have a "new patient" appointment first. Instead, they realized I needed *emergency* dentistry. I was able to get an appointment quickly. I was seen by Doctor Sahar Mehr. She quickly assessed the issue and understood that all I really needed was a "reglue". She was very careful and confirmed if there was any sensitivity - surprise! there was, a LOT! She quickly numbed the area, and after a few minutes waiting for the novocaine to take effect, she applied the adhesive and reglued my crown. It was obvious she was a knowledgable and practiced dentist. If / when I do need a dentist in this area, they will be my first choice! Thanks again for the great work!

Between the great music, calming atmosphere, and genuinely kind staff, I somehow left with less anxiety than I came in with. The costs were explained upfront and I was given a breakdown of my treatment plan.

Caps, Bridges and Partial Plates…read more This dental office seemed to be reputable and conveniently located for necessary extensive care. My total treatment will have addressed at least 18 teeth-either cosmetically crowned, bridged or partialed. My bridge is comfortable, made with modern material and all of my crowns are securely anchored. My two tooth bridge, however, was problematic from the get-go, not lasting even a year before detaching. Over the course of the year, they reattached it many times hassle-free, to no lasting avail. I was patient, but overtime became disgruntled believing this was all that was going to happen (reattachment). No one wants to pay for anything twice-especially when work, for whatever reason, isn't durable. Oral upkeep is not cheap and the economy isn't getting any better with Captain Cheetoh Chancre ruining the world. Recently , the sublime Dr. Fadi decided to redo the bridge entirely. I was then treated to a complementary polishing. All-doctors, techs and front office are competent, professional and understanding. The atmosphere is cheerful and harmonious...Dr. Embry worthy of mention. I have at least three more teeth to fix and will continue here because they are FAIR. I appreciate their ethic; refreshing in a time dictated by amoral, criminal asshats. WHITE TEETH MATTER. Happy Fourth, Kimberly Kinsey

I thought all was well with my care here UNTIL I had to have one of their caps CORRECTED. The cap…read morethat was ordered never came. In its place came one that was the wrong size and wrong shape. They told me they would call the dental facility that made it and have that one replaced with the CORRECT cap. They did NOT do this. When I came back to have the correct one put in, it turns out they just gave me the same WRONG cap and tried to pass that one off. THE CAP IS IN MY SMILE ZONE MAKING IT PAINFULLY OBVIOUS. By the way, I subsequently found out they had shaved part of the perfectly good tooth in front of said cap in order to slap the wrong cap in. After some back and forth, I saw they would do nothing more to rectify this "mishap" so I had to switch dentists all together. My insurance company has a 5-year limit per cap/per tooth on what can be adjusted. Since 5 years hadn't passed. I had to take out a grievance with them (the insurance company) after filing several complaints when the pre-auths were rejected. I am still waiting on that grievance to be completed. It has been two and a half years that I have been waiting for something to be done on this same cap. My previous review was a glowing testament to Dr. Amini and Dental Associates of Torrance. 5-STARS! I'd like to apologize to anyone who was misled by me however, I could not have known, at that time, just how problematic working with this dental office could be. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO TRUST IN THIS DENTIST AND WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THEM.
