Three generations of our family have been patients of Studio City Dental for more than 40 years…read more The front office staff, as well as the dentists, assistants, and hygienists, have always taken exceptional care of us, including responding to emergencies with appointments and phone discussions. I like that I can self-insure with them at a lower price than I would spend with the typical dental insurance, with coverage that works very well for me. They recently refurbished the office and continue to use new technology in treatments. As an aside, a few years ago, I had a painless root canal performed by one of their dentists. I am grateful for that. We will continue to be patients there.

If you can stay away from Studio City Dental Group - STAY AWAY!!!!!…read more My parents first took me here and I was in pediatrics under the care of Dr. Gidan (amazing!!!). I also went to orthopedics here with Dr. Rosenberg who was also great. Since then, I moved over to the regular dentist's at SCDG around 2015 and wow - what a disaster this place has become! The receptions were extremely unfriendly, incompetent (they would bill my father's account for my dentist appt after I've been on my own insurance for well over 5 years???), and the quality of dentists have gone down completely. I left SCDG a few years ago and my new dentist immediately noticed how bad my fillings were and even asked for the name of my dentist because he didn't think that this person should be working on patients. I've spent thousands fixing what studio city dental group ruined. My sister was also told her fillings were done so poorly that cavities appeared underneath them and she now needs crowns. She's spending over $8k to have them fixed. I'm waiting for the day this dental group gets sued for malpractice and shuts down. Trust me: STAY AWAY!

I would normally just walk away from an unpleasant, high-strung experience. Humans are complex…read morecreatures. What I champion in a world of polarity, control and reactivity, is more communication and receptivity, which may have been lacking on this day at this office and with Dr. Sands. I too take accountability for any miscommunication. Upon arriving I quickly gave the latest information to the hygienist (she did my cleaning last time). I informed her that I sometimes take the prophylaxis but that I did not have it at this time. I briefly explained that I just returned from a long journey out of the country and that my insurance had changed and that I have just secured an appointment with a new Dr. to get a script. With a newer diagnosis of LAFB, I was unsure if it was a big deal or not to forgo the prophylaxis. I thought that the DDS could give me a script for it (because you can take it within two hours) but was informed otherwise at the front desk. It was my choice and responsibility to medicate or not. She left the room for a long bit and then returned to continue with the cleaning. There was no discussion on the prophylaxis. I let it go. I'd done it without before. She then said that she needed to take 6 new x-rays. I said that I would sign off on that because I was planning on doing my onlay in the next few months and didn't want to do the x-rays twice. I have never followed the prescribed x-ray protocol and only did it when necessary. She then disappeared. After about 10 long minutes, Dr. Sands came in and introduced herself. She then asked what my fear was around x-rays. I shared with her that it was not a fear but that I did not want to do unnecessary and extra procedures and then do it again in the next couple of months before my onlay. I wanted to focus on the one tooth and upcoming procedure . As most DDS's, she gave me the usual lecture on x-rays, protocols and legalities. I am aware. I get it. I have signed off before. We were focusing on one tooth. I just wanted consideration around the scenario of the big picture and upcoming procedure. She then said it was now too late to do the cleaning and that I would have to come back. But that we could not rebook until they took all six x-rays and did the exam. Breath. Was she really going to give me an ultimatum? At this point, I just wanted to move on. It was a cleaning. I wanted to move on and book my onlay. So I trusted and relented. I was glad to have Dr. Sands do the exam as it was her practice. The hygienist was now going to take the six new X-rays. Two in the front, which wasn't even in question or a problem. Protocol. While I applaud Doctors and Nurses, I feel that the medical establishment is often over stepping. I have experienced and seen plenty. I require my boundaries, rights and sensibilities to be honored and respected where reasonable. The hygienist took the first x-ray rather quickly, and then the second. I could not see her face as she had a mask on the whole time, but I could feel her nervousness. As she pulled out the second X-ray, I took a breath and said, please, just do it right the first time. Well, as I was saying this the second x-ray came up on the screen distorted. Bad timing. Another breath. I said, the same thing happened with my mammogram. I at no time was upset or disrespectful. I was calm, only disappointed. She ran out of the room, triggered. I could hear her asking if someone else could take the x-ray because there was an overlay. I heard Dr. Sands asked if there was an overlay on my teeth. No. A few minutes later Dr. Sands comes into the room and tells me to leave her practice as I don't want to abide by her protocols and that I was "mean" to her hygienist and upset her. Wow. She goes to grab my purse and says that she will walk me to the door! I am surprised by this reactivity. I am calm and watching the whole scenario. I tell her that there is no need for her to walk me to door. I take my things and tell the hygienist that I'm sorry that she got nervous. I leave. What a fiasco. The times before when I had my cleaning, Dr Sands was not in the office. The hygienist felt calm and confident. The energy was completely different this time. It's great that Dr Sands is protective of her employees. It's great that she holds a high bar to her ideals. It's also unfortunate that her reactivity was way over the mark on that day. That she read the room wrong, and that she read me wrong. "Mean" is not something I have ever been described as. Honestly, if anyone deserves an apology, it would be to me. I felt unheard, unaccommodated, condescended to and well, scapegoated. As a woman close to my pier group I would consider more from Dr. Sands. I would hope that she would consider her part in handling this and take accountability for this human foible. No defenses needed, but an acknowledgment and fair response would be up to par.

I did Invisalign here. Great service and great support Team. Shoutout to Amy, Maggie, Sam, Edith,…read moreand everyone. Staff here are professional and trust-worthy, making me enjoy every visit. Dr. Sands always listens to my concern carefully and effectively solves my issue. I am very thankful for this experience.

This review is written with all honesty and based on my personal experience:…read more My mother and I had new patient appointments this past Saturday for 8AM. We arrived a bit earlier since we didn't know exactly what to expect. I ended up parking in their building (big mistake) and then proceeded to head up to the suite. We waited there until the receptionist made it in just a tad bit before our appointment time. She was very nice and patient with me and my mother. Customer service is great, no doubt. But then, she proceeds to tell both of us that we won't be seeing the dentist today, she had an emergency, but the services will still be rendered. (Our old dentist closed their office so we were referred here) first time for me, but I was ok with it, no other choice really. Our lovely hygienist was there and that made the environment feel a bit better. They took complete x-rays of my mouth first, they used a newer machine that is modern technology to scan internally my whole mouth. Tech was pleasant and explained everything. I was told the dentist will review my images and set up a treatment plan. I wanted to get my teeth whitened but they couldn't accommodate me for that service. I had to reschedule to come back next weekend for another consult, I don't think I will be coming back. I hardly have free time and I wanted to take care of my health on the first visit. (Mind you I rescheduled it from May, so availability is far out) the latest hour of the day is not convenient to my needs which is why I went with a Saturday. I also work Saturdays so my availability doesn't meet theirs. This won't be working out for me. Then I saw the hygienist and I asked her my personal questions about my dental health, she was very helpful, gentle and informative. In conclusion, I didn't really leave satisfied and felt a bit off, just my intuition. Cons: parking is expensive, as a new patient, I would have appreciated being told what to expect, where I can park, etc. I almost lost my ticket and when I went back, no other human being was around the parking lot, or lobby, I went back to the dentist office but they didn't seem to know how to help me. (Luckily, my mother found it and called me right away) I ended up paying $16.50 for a total of 3 hours spent there. The staff told me to park on the street next time.

Our family recently transitioned to this provider on recommendation from our retiring family…read moredentist. What an amazing transition! Dr. Babuchyan and staff were very welcoming and create a pleasant atmosphere. The care is top notch and you really feel like you get personalized treatment here. Our son has also got his Invisalign here and just completed his last tray with amazing results. Highly recommend this practice and look forward to many years of dental care!
