    Came in for a teeth cleaning. They turned a dreaded appointment into something I'd recommend to everyone. I never thought I'd rave about a dentist, but here we are. I had the BEST experience! So let's get into it. Parking: FREE! There's a parking structure with ample of parking spots. The facility itself is clean and beautiful. Outside and inside are aesthetically pleasing. The waiting area is beautiful. I have never been to the dentist that looked this nice. There are complimentary snacks & drinks. But wait, there's more. The restroom, CLEAN! There are disposable toothbrushes, toothpaste, and mouthwash. Annnnd now I have been called in. I was escorted to the exam room and as I enter I see a welcome sign on the TV screen with my name on it. OHHHKAY! They have modern imaging tools. The X-rays are were taken with a hand held X-Ray Device. Got a 3D impression on my teeth with a Intraoral scanner which looked like a probe with a build in camera. I was then taken to another room where I got a CT scan, which is minimally invasive. Lots of images were taken, and I'm for it. It was amazing to see colored images of my teeth. A little frightening to see how disgusting my teeth are and all the plaque build up, but also very interesting. Dr. Tran reviewed the images with me and I really appreciated that he took a conservative approach and didn't pressure me into any immediate procedures. Overall, it was such a refreshing experience to interact with a doctor who made me feel informed and at ease, rather than anxious. A coordinator then came in to discuss the recommended treatment plan and went over overall cost in detail based on my insurance coverage. This was very helpful because now I have an idea of what to expect if and when I choose to move forward with the recommendations. Yara, the hygienist, is amazing! She was so friendly and made the entire teeth cleaning experience genuinely enjoyable. It's time to clean my teeth and so she lowered the chair into a fully reclined position. And to my surprise there's a TV screen on the ceiling. Next thing you know, I'm watching IF (Imaginary Friends) on Netflix. I kept saying, "This is wild" because this is next level. Watching TV while getting my teeth cleaned?! What a win! After my cleaning she placed a warm cloth over my mouth and started massaging my jaw and then applied lip balm with an applicator on my lips. Like what kind of treatment is this? I was shocked in the best way! She then gave me a bag of dental goodies and off to scheduling a follow up I go. This is by far the BEST and memorable experience I've ever had at the dentist. All the staff here were so kind and welcoming. Thank you to the entire team for making this such a comfortable and positive experience. I'm actually looking forward to coming back!

    Did I just have a mind-blowing appointment? Yes, I did. Dentistry has come a long way since I was a kid, and today I stepped into the future at Summit Dental Arts. I was speechless again and again with the new innovations this office uses in oral care. Among other advancements, they have a handheld x-ray gun and a 3-D color modelling scan of my teeth. Incredibly detailed images were immediately viewed as references on large monitors throughout the small exam room. They suggested some new cleaning procedures which use the latest oral care technologies. My old brain did take a minute to catch up. This was such a different experience than what I've had over the years. However, if it means better oral health and less discomfort now and in the long run, I owe it to myself to lean into the future. The entire staff was very friendly and excited to provide exceptional service. I was waiting for the gotcha moment, when they burst my dreamy sci-fi bubble with the news that this is all going to cost a small fortune. With relief, that moment never came. I usually don't get very excited about a dentist visit. However, in addition to all the fun gadgets, free parking and proximity to my home and gym give this dentist office the edge. A highlight for me was when Dr. Andrew asked what I wanted to watch on the ceiling-mounted TV as they worked on my teeth. I felt like this was really something to chew on!

    I recently had to find a new dentist because ours burned down in the fire and we are so happy we found Summit Dental Arts! They are so kind, friendly, and attentive. After not having great experiences, my son and I are actually happy to come to the dentist! Each staff member is very attentive and they always make sure we are comfortable. They go into details on explanations and show you the before and after of the work they do. Even with financing, they have many options and make it easy for you to understand what charges will be covered should you have insurance and what out of pocket costs will be. They even go as far as helping you apply for financing services if you need the extra financial help. I am so very impressed and happy with Summit Dental Arts. I couldn't have asked for a better place for myself and my son. Looking forward to the next visit!

    The brutally honest comments of two little minds pushed me to search for a dentist. "Why are your teeth yellow?" My response was, "I drink lots of tea and coffee" but in reality I stopped taking care of my teeth after my bad experience with the orthodontist. I never liked my smile and thought braces would boost my confidence. Got braces done, but it caused my upper teeth to flare out way too much. It destroyed my self-confidence. All that money invested felt like I was worse than when I started. After reflecting on what the two little ones said to me, I googled non-stop "best but affordable dentist in Pasadena." Summit Dental Arts was an option, but I was skeptical about their promotion at the time. Free comprehensive exam, x-rays, and more sounded too good to be true. So I called the number to ask a few questions and inquire about their payment options. Giselle and Justine were wonderful. She listened, answered all my questions, and guided me through the process. They did in fact have the promotion going on. Jaw dropped. The appointment was scheduled for December 22nd at 4pm, but I got sick. I called to let them know and they rescheduled for the December 30th. I'm so glad I build up the courage to go in. From listening and communicating effectively with patients, Summit Dental Arts staff cares about their patients concerns. My main concern was affordability as I don't have dental insurance. They have payment options!!! Don't let money be the reason why you don't take care of your dental health. Carlos and Jasmine took care of my x-rays and CT scan. The technology they have allows patients to see problem areas a lot better. Dr. Steven Tran was thorough in my treatment plan and he made me feel comfortable. After he showed me the before and after on display I was convinced I made the right call for the dentist. Sure the overall treatment cost sounds scary, but having them break it step by step helped me overcome that hurdle to take care of myself. The images I'll post are not the best. I'm a bit embarrassed to post them, but I do want to share my overall journey with Summit Dental Arts. On the visit I had today, December 31st, every staff member made me feel comfortable. They even played the movie "White Chicks" to distract me from the 8 cavity fillings I needed. I have extremely sensitive teeth, but Dr.Nguyen made sure I didn't feel pain. My dental hygienist, Yaarah, was phenomenal. She took care of my cleaning and she made my entire experience better. My appointment started at 3:20pm and I left around 6:00pm. I'm happy that I finally found a dentist for regular check-up's. I will be starting other treatment with them to align my smile. If you're looking for a dentist near the Pasadena area, check them out. 10/10 care and communication! Thank you to all the staff members for providing a friendly and welcoming environment. Cheers to a happy new year and new smile!!!

    Their welcoming sign for me! Super thoughtful

    First of all, the place is stunning -- so aesthetically beautiful and spotless. The whole staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly. Angel started me off with such a smooth, comforting process, taking my photos and getting everything ready for the doctors. He even made my temporary crown, and it fit perfectly. I had a thorough cleaning done by Dr. Nguyen, and he was amazing. Dr. Tran was the one who fixed my crown, and I'm genuinely so impressed with his work. He put in way more effort than expected -- he fixed a tooth that was basically unrepairable, and he did it without hesitation. He took his time, cleaned everything up so well, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Super gentle, super patient, and completely pain-free. I was expecting to be sore the whole week, but I feel perfectly fine! And honestly... their technology? Next level. Everything was so modern that it made the whole experience way easier to tolerate -- and I'm someone who used to avoid going to the dentist. Overall, such a good experience, definitely coming back for all my dental issues :). Highly recommend.

    Are they expensive?

    They were less expensive than my last dentist for identical services. The staff + doctor's service and technical accoutrements were impeccable. I was beyond impressed just walking into the office.

He even caught an issue with an older root canal from years ago that I had no idea about, which could have turned into a bigger problem down the road.

My dentist recommended going to get consultation at Pasadena Endodontix. I read some negative reviews on Yelp and Google but my experience with Dr. Safa was nothing but professionalism and expert care and treatment. I would give more stars if Yelp allowed it. I only felt a tiny bit of discomfort at the initial injection but after that, no pain since. I've had other root canals at other dentist offices a long time ago and they took over an hour to finish and it was painful. I would recommend my family and friends to see Dr. Safa if they need an Endodontist. I hope I don't need another root canal, but if I do, I'm happy to come back here. Is it a bit pricey? Yes, but in my humble opinion, you're paying for expertise and quality care. My tooth is pain free, my blister is gone, and I can't believe I tolerated the discomfort and occasional pain related to the condition of my tooth for as long as I did before Dr. Safa treated it. The office staff and assistants are also top notch and professional. Thank you Pasadena Endodontix!

I said to the merciful angel who received my call that "I'm sorry you're meeting me at this point in my life, but my patience is at an end." She, Dr. Bandary, and his team were kind to find a time to schedule me in for later the same day. The dental assistant, with whom I exchanged book recommendations, got me a blanket and neck pillow as they're playing Jack Johnson at a perfect volume as one overlooks a leafy panorama. Dr. Bandary, around whom this remarkable practice orbits, has a gentle and considered demeanor. He listened to my long neurotic explanations. He gave me time to fully arrive at the decision to move forward with the root canal. I didn't even realize that I needed time to think through the decision. He did. The procedure itself - by the way, I was not on any narcotics - had me in a state of elation. He is expert at his chosen art form. It was pain-free, brief, and I laughed through it. Orchestral.

I've been with my dentist for 17 years, 10+ of those years moved up to the Bay Area and making the 5-6hr commute back and forth. Well, life happens and during my last check with Most Awesome General Dentist; turns out I need a root canal and was recommended to Dr. John Pratte as a "Diplomate" dentist. What is that? I asked a robot and this is what I learned: Achieving diplomate status in dentistry, particularly for specialties like endodontics, is a prestigious accomplishment that represents the highest level of expertise in the field. Here's what it generally involves: 1. Advanced Education and Specialty Training: After earning a dental degree (e.g., DDS or DMD), a dentist must complete additional years of postgraduate training in their specialty, such as endodontics, periodontics, or orthodontics. This involves clinical, hands-on training and deep study of the specialty. 2. Board Certification: To become a diplomate, a dentist must pass rigorous board certification exams specific to their specialty. This typically includes: Written Exam: Testing the candidate's knowledge of all facets of their specialty. Clinical Exam or Case Presentations: Submitting complex case studies or undergoing a practical exam to demonstrate hands-on expertise and problem-solving abilities in their specialty. Oral Exam: Being questioned by a board of experts on clinical cases, treatment planning, and specialized knowledge to assess clinical judgment and expertise. 3. Experience and Case Portfolio: Many boards require candidates to complete and submit a portfolio of complex cases they've treated successfully, showcasing their proficiency and commitment to high standards of care. 4. Continuing Education and Recertification: Once they achieve diplomate status, many boards require ongoing continuing education and periodic recertification to ensure they remain up-to-date with advancements in their field. 5. Commitment to Excellence: Diplomates are often required to uphold strict ethical standards and demonstrate a commitment to advancing their specialty through research, teaching, or service within the professional community. In short, becoming a diplomate is a mark of dedication, clinical excellence, and a deep commitment to providing the highest standard of patient care in their specialty. It signifies that the practitioner has gone well beyond the basic requirements of dental practice. _______________________ So I just want to say that I highly appreciate the expertly skilled precision of Dr. Pratte's deft and nimble hands. He has a very professional demeanor while also being quite warm and personable. (And those diplomate credentials tell you that you're getting the very best of the very best!!!)
