Great dentist. Im picky, on the faculty of UCLA Med. Technically advanced... painless, slow but gets it right first time. He teaches at USC. great service. Best hygientist ever. Sarah is truly amazing. Great at cosmetic and implants... Highly reccomend read more

This office is great. Everyone is so friendly, helpful and caring. The staff are amazing. Dr Anderkvist is very patient with someone who is afraid of dentists, as well as being a true perfectionist in his work. I have just started my Invisalign treatment and so far so good. I will update this review as my treatment progresses but for now I couldn't be happier with this office and the doctor. read more

Amazing team that care deeply for each unique patient and their needs. As a dental coward, I feel safe and comfortable coming to this top of the line team of professionals. I can always count on them, emergency or planned routine. They are patient with me and I couldn't ask for better service. I recommend this dental office to all my coworkers and friends. read more

Westwood Dental Smiles is the best!!! I am seen within minutes of my arrival and greeted with a smile by Kathy the OffIce Coordinator. She ensures I have a great visit from start to finish. But, I really go there because of Sarah! She is the best Dental Hygienist incarnate. She has a gentle touch and takes time to explain the whats and whys of my customized care. She even explained to me how to brush my teeth more effectively and suggested what kind of electric toothbrush to use. At the end of each visit I learn what I am doing right and where I can improve. The proof is in the pudding. I love the way my teeth look and feel...It's a mini makeover...In today's economy teeth are expensive to replace and very important to overall appearance therefore, it's important to maintain dental hygiene with those I trust. I always know what is going on with each visit. It alleviates my fears and worries...I always leave with a smile. Thank you Westwood Dental Smiles... read more

Today I went to the dentist for the first time in 15 years. The entire staff from the time I stepped foot in the door were the most accepting and friendly I've ever encountered in my life. They made me feel at ease. My dental hygienist Sarah could be an angel in disguise. She made me feel comfortable, and aware of what she was doing in my mouth so I felt safe through the whole process. Dr. Tomas was also very friendly. I will certainly be coming back for the years to come now that I've expelled my fears of the dentist. Thank you so so much to the entire staff, you truly made my day! read more

TOMAS ANDERKVIST DENTAL GROUP MADE MY LIFE A NIGHT MARE. AS A RESULT OF UNNESSARY SURGERY, I LOST 2 UPPER FRONT TEETH. I CRY EVERY DAY. I became a patient of Dr. Anderkvist when I had a minimum wage job. I was also a single mom and had no child support. I asked him if he accepted Healthy Families/MediCal. He said that he doesn't and offered me a 10% discount to mitigate the dental costs. COSMETIC DENTISTRY: MISMATCHED COLORS. Every time Dr. Anderkvist used mismatched colors of fillings, onlays, and crowns. One day, due to this gradual process, I realized that my white teeth turned yellow: A2, A3, A4, C3 and C4. He never asked my opinion whether I like the color. And that's exactly how MediCal clinics operate. LOSS OF GUM TISSUE. I have sensitive teeth due to the loss of enamel. Dr. Anderkvist had a practice of delegating some of his responsibilities to his staff. His dental hygienist, Sarah, applied highly abrasive material (so-called "brush and bond") to my tooth. I already had a severe gum recession. The loss of another 2 mm of gum tissue was significant! He never apologized or admitted the wrongdoing. GOLD RUSH: DENTAL VENEERS. I was a patient of Dr. Anderkvist for 15 years. I fully trusted Dr. Anderkvist Dental Group. I never questioned him about any procedures he recommended. He breached doctor-patient trust in the most unethical and inhumane way. VENEERS IS NOT A COMMON KNOWLEDGE One day, he recommended veneers. As usual, I said ok. I never heard word "veneers" before just as I never heard other dental terminology. This is not the area of my expertise. In addition, English is not my native language. He told me that Dr. Tabachnik will be performing that procedure. Dr. Tabachnik did not provide any explanation of what veneers were. She just started the "veneers" procedure. The appointment lasted for several hours. This was and is the most traumatic experience in my life! I endured infernal torture. For 1 hour she was drilling my teeth. I stopped her and asked what she was doing and what's wrong with my teeth that it's taking such a long time. She provided her usual lighthearted reply: "Oh, I need to prepare the teeth... ", then she paused, and clarified "just drilling off a little bit". It was already almost 2 hours of the procedure, when I asked her again: "What's happening? What are you doing?" She responded in her lighthearted manner: "Oh, I need to remove the enamel because the veneers would not stick. The enamel is slippery." Then she told me that it was the time to attach veneers. When I got up and saw myself in the mirror, my heart sank. Instead of my teeth, I saw narrow stripes resembling teeth. Dr. Tabachnik destroyed 40% of my teeth structure!!! I felt sick on my stomach. I felt dizzy. I felt pain in my knees. I lost the ground under my feet. I almost fell - I had a hard time to balance. I had tears in my eyes. Dr. Tabachnik mercilessly pretended she didn't notice anything. When everything was finished, she again, in her usual lighthearted tone of voice said: "Ok. All is done. You can't use your teeth to bite or chew any hard food. Porcelain veneers are fragile; they break easily. They should last for 10 years if you're careful. You'll need to replace them before they wear out." At that time I was carrying lots of financial responsibilities and credit card debts. Perhaps, in Anderkvist and Tabachnik's upside down world dentists are below level of poverty and artists are upper middle class. It is clear that they plotted this hellish plan. Dr. Anderkvist made up the scenario and Dr. Tabachnik - orchestrated it. She executed my "verdict" in a cold-blooded manner. My natural teeth were absolutely perfect! I WANT MY TEETH BACK! The only person who truly cared about me at Tomas Anderkvist Dental Group was dental assistant, Teri. One time she noticed that my front teeth were loose. She told about it to Dr. Anderkvist. He looked at my teeth, saw them wobbling, but said nothing. After the veneers surgery, I asked Dr. Anderkvist why I got the veneers and why he didn't tell me what the whole process entailed, the outcome, inconvenience and losses, and that veneers are irreversible and I'll have to replace them every 10 years. He looked at me but replied nothing. I suffer great inconvenience having veneers that deprive me of important life functions: biting and eating. I eat like a Middle Eastern person, using my fingers. As a result of partially detached, worn out veneers, I developed anxiety, depression, and sleep deprivation. I fear that they'll fall off and I'll lose them. I lost joy in life. I cry every day. Veneers have tripled in price since that. The cost of getting new veneers are now almost equivalent to my annual income. My MediCal provider advised me to extract both teeth and get partial dentures. Dr. Anderkvist's license should be suspended and he deserves to serve time in jail and get himself veneers. read more

Tomas Anderkvist, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Literally the best, most kind, welcoming, honest, and fair dentist and dentist office I have EVER been to. I don't normally write reviews for anything besides restaurants (Im a foodie-probably why i've spent so many hours at the dentist) but my experience here was so outstanding that I had to write a review. The woman at the front desk was an absolute gem of a person. She was warm, efficient, welcoming and accommodating. I am always really anxious at the dentist, and I hate getting teeth x-rays more than anything, but the woman who did my x-rays was also comforting, accommodating and talked to me throughout the entire thing making me feel so much better throughout. The dentist who did my cleaning was also amazing, she was welcoming, kind, nurturing, considerate, efficient, and honestly made the time fly by -I couldn't believe it, the dentist usually seems like 10 hours!! Lastly, Dr. Anderkvist was one of (if not the most) fair and truthful dentists i've ever heard of. He answered all of my questions and didn't try to squeeze money out of multiple cavities (which has happened to me many times in the past). He was intelligent and kind, exactly what you would want in a primary dentist and owner. Although I typically hate the dentist, this is the only dentist i've ever EVER left feeling happy after. They even sent me a birthday card! Could not recommend then enough. Thank you!! read more

After the dental fillings, I visited the office several times for cleaning and crown cementation. This is the best dental office! Scheduling my appointments and linking insurance was a breeze. Every time I've visited this office, the staff made me feel at home, and everything was always ready for me, so the waiting time was minimal. I will be forever grateful to Dr.Tomas and all staff in his office for all that they've done for me and for my oral health. read more

We all need to take care of our teeth so that they last as long as we do. So call up Westwood Dental Smiles. They can do whatever you need. For your cleaning be sure to ask for Sarah DeHater . Not only does she do a great job but she is super fast and almost painless! Best Hygenist I've ever had. read more

I went there for check one of my root canal. they said we need full mouth Xray and and then they charge my insurance and send me bill. my visit was for one tooth and I just want know what is the cost. they made it as full mouth and want up sell me. Please be careful about cost up front if you want use them or find different dentist. read more

Worst medical experience of my life, and I didn't even make it to getting treated. Due to multiple violations of Patient Confidentiality/HIPAA, I opted to leave and get treatment elsewhere. I left Dr. Anderkvist's practice an hour ago after meeting with Dr. Tabachnik re: a root canal retreatment on tooth #13. My experience was uncomfortable from start to finish. Nobody was there to greet me when I first arrived to the office. I waited for some time, and somebody finally came out and said that my paperwork had already been started for me and was on the counter. My paperwork that included my insurance card that I scanned and sent the day previous was unattended on the patient/visitor side of the counter in an unlocked office. I finally met with a dental assistant, and I asked if she was able to get the x-rays from my dentist and my 3D scan from another Endodontist that I consulted with (that is out of network). The dental assistant told the woman at the front desk, Elena, that I said this, and Elena yelled from the front desk to the room I was sitting at that was in the hallway by the front door, "No you need x-rays from here because the dentist might look for different things. It will be quick." I understand if the Dr. Tabachnik may need different scans if the x-rays and 3D scans weren't sufficient, but no effort was made to obtain these scans and take a look at them. I proceeded with the x-rays, because I figured that I might as well since I was already there. The dental assistant took x-rays with the door wide open. Again, the room I was placed in was next to the entrance, and I saw other patients walk in and out. I finally got to meet with Dr. Tabachnik. She was the only pleasant encounter I had while at your office. She was professional and patiently explained what she saw in the x-rays before explaining how she wanted to treat me. I asked her if she could obtain a quote from Elena for me. Elena started the quote then yelled again from the front desk. She told me it would be $1498 then Dr. Tabachnik pointed out she forgot to add the Post Removal. Elena complained in front of me that she doesn't know how to get that price or that quote, and Dr. Tabachnik offered to help her. As I waited, I got to listen to Elena and other employees in your office complain about another patient's Invisalign, timeliness to appointments, and how somebody is an absolute pain. This isn't a conversation I as a patient should be hearing. Finally Elena came to my room, stood behind me, showed me the paper with the quotes and asked me to sign. By this point, I did not feel comfortable moving forward with the procedure and said I wanted to return to work, think about it, then I'd call back. Elena made it very clear I had inconvenienced her and the schedule. I understand how that can be a burden, and it certainly wasn't my intention, however my end to end experience left me insecure about proceeding with a root canal retreatment at this office. I'm looking into filing a Patient Confidentiality complaint and/or HIPAA complaint with the US Department of Health and Human Services for multiple reasons: 1) my paperwork being left out in the open with my insurance card that contained personal information stapled to the back of my file 2) my costs, treatment, and x-rays being discussed openly in a yelling voice by Elena at the front desk, across the open waiting area, to my room that was left with the door wide open 3) knowing too much about other patients. Would my procedures be discussed out loud when I'm not around as well? This isn't something I am willing to risk I tried to email this directly to Dr. Anderkvist, but there was an error when I submitted the form. If you happen to see this: Dr. Anderkvist - as much as I liked Dr. Tabachnik, I am choosing to go to an out of network dentist instead of revisiting this office because of the extreme unprofessionalism I experienced during my appointment. Please reconsider how the front office is run. read more

We've been coming here for years .. very professional and great staff ... Dr. Anderkvist is great, and Sarah does a wonderful job with the cleanings ... we feel lucky to have found this group. read more

First time at Westwood Dental Smiles and I couldn't be happier with their care. They were so communicative with me throughout scheduling an appointment, new client paperwork, and went out of their way to work with my insurance. Elena, Sarah, and Dr. Tomas were extremely welcoming, and very attentive to getting me the right care. After searching for a great dentist forever, I highly recommend Westwood Dental Smiles! read more

Dr. Anderkvist is the best dentist I have ever seen. He's patient, kind and does the best work. Moving to LA 6 years ago I have seen my fair share of doctors and I feel very at home here. I'm not the best at the dentist and all the girls are super friendly and accommodating to my neediness. They really make you feel comfortable and all do fantastic work!! read more

I rarely leave Yelp reviews - this is only my second - but just had to for Dr. Anderkvist and Dr. Tabachnik. Over the past few years, I have had extensive dental work, to the tune of thousands of dollars of out-of-pocket costs and extreme dental pain. With Dr. Anderkvist and Dr. Tabachnik, I believe this is a thing of the past. I've had a spotty dental history as I moved, hopping from dentist to dentist. The tooth in question had a filling, then a root canal and crown, and then an apicoectomy (where they surgically remove the root of the tooth) - all performed at other dental offices. By this point, I was very cost-conscious and concerned about pouring more money into the tooth trying to save it versus going the extraction/ bone graft/ implant route (which I viewed as more expensive in short term but a longer term solution). Yet, I also wanted the best solution for my own health. After careful consideration and education, we decided it would be best to go the implant route. Throughout the process, both the doctors and the dental assistants have been nothing but transparent and extremely helpful. Even on a Saturday night when I was concerned that stitches had fallen out, Dr. Anderkvist patiently answered all my questions. I'd also love to give a shoutout to Jessica, the amazing office manager who always greets you warmly, answers all questions, and assists you every step of the way. If you are looking for a new dental office, I highly recommend Westwood Dental Smiles. read more

You know what I want in a dentist? Someone who's always hip to the current science and technology. Today I went in to see fabulous Sarah, Dr. A's hygienist, for my regular teeth cleaning. Sarah informed me that she was going to be using this new cleaning machine on my teeth - some sort of sugar spray that basically suffocates bacteria that hides in places she can't get to manually and I certainly can't get to without her tools and sprays and whatnot. This is the newest in oral hygiene in the dental office. It's kind of new in the US but has been big in Europe for a while. I asked her if she found this new technology or if Dr. Anderkvist did. She said, "Dr. Anderkvist." I've been going to Dr. Anderkvist for decades now. I had horrible gum recession. He is always up on the latest dental research - scientific research in all medicine in fact. He even won some award for being the most Covid proactive of any dentist in the city. My gum recession hasn't progressed since seeing him. That's what I want in a dentist. That and dental chairs with heating and massage - but one thing at a time. read more

I've been coming here for a long time. Staff is always super friendly and always try to accommodate special requests. Dr Anderkvist's work is excellent and I never had an issue. I had to move to New York and my (highly rated) dentist in New York did a filling that fell out in a few weeks. So I saw Dr Anderkvist when I flew back to Los Angeles to fix it and I could tell how much better Dr Anderkvist's work quality is. Highly recommend. read more

Westwood Dental Smiles is the best.the best!! Finally. I dont mind going to the Dentist for my cleaning or checkups. Sarah is so easy going and gentle on my mouth. I used to be afraid to go to the Dentist.. The office location is easy to get to and parking is right there in the building. Dr. Anderkist fixed my front tooth wonderfullly. Thanjs again!! read more

This is a follow up to the bad review i made 4 years ago and I still stand by it. This is a rogue dentist and how they have tried to cover this up further rather than dealing with the situation is more of a case study on how not to do things. DO NOT go to this dentist. The quote below is from the dentist who probably hired a social media or pr person to finally see the bad trend in service and reviews from this poor excuse of a dentist. It took them FOUR 4 years to reply and not only did they not reach out to me the quote below is an outright lie. These complaints were not dismissed w/out merit and treatment was rendered. There are plenty of good dentists in West LA and I am happy to refer good ones and try to save people from being ripped off by bad ones like Adnerkvist. "Both complaints were dismissed as merit less, since no treatment was ever rendered. As members of the Better Business Bureau we take all complaints very seriously and follow their recommendations." read more

I have been coming to this Dental office for 20+ years and would never go anywhere else. All the staff is so wonderful and friendly. They have all the latest dental technology in the office. They never push any services on you and are very honest about work that you may need and if it can wait or if its more serious and needs more immediate attention. It's Easy to get an appointment and I have never had to wait a long time upon entering the office. For a regular cleaning, i'm in and out rather quickly. Make sure you park on the street as they do not validate and parking is $$ in the building garage. read more

I can relate to another reviewer who had a fear of dentist and didn't want to go. That was me when I first came to Dr. Anderkvist's office. I explained by trepidation, which had increased by this point b/c I knew I needed some major work done. Dr. A really lisened to me, and didn't patronize me b/c I was in my 30's and still had dentist phobia. Rather, he heard my need to rinse often and to have constant suction happening so that there wasn't buildup in the back of my mouth (which makes me want to gag). Also, he always let me pick the music that I wanted to play so that I could take my mind off the process as much as possible for me. Everything helped, and I soooo appreciated his willingness to take those extra measures to make me feel comfortable. Since then, I've been a patient for over 10 years and have always appreciated all the staff, and I think I've seen pretty much everyone there. read more

Dr. Tomas Anderkvist is a fantastic dentist and his team at Westwood Dental Smiles is A+. Highly Recommended !!!!

Just came here for a cleaning and it was as easy as could be! The only dentist ive left not fearing the next visit. Thanks again! And i would have disagree with these negative reviews. Ive been coming here for many years and have only had positive experiences. read more

Sarah the hygienist is so lovely that I almost look forward to going to the dentist! Dr Anderquist also does great work and both are very patient. The only negative is that the billing department is a bit disorganized but they do get it right in the end read more

Dr. Anderkvist is a wonderful dentist! The whole team is great, very accomodating to my schedule, and the best dental work I have had to date. They bill the insurance company, which is a huge plus for me. Tracy the hygenist is really super. I used to dread going to get my teeth cleaned, but she is always so positive and makes you feel like you are doing a good job. I think my gums are in such great shape because of her. Would highly recommend this practice. Very good location, and they ask you if they can validate your parking (very helpful). I just moved from LA, but will really miss Dr. Anderkvist and his very talented staff! read more

I have been going to Westwood Dental Smiles for about 9-10 years. All the staff are very kind and always willing to help. Scheduling is never an issue. I'm not a fan of going to the dentist, but I am always happy to see the Dr. , the dental hygienist and the other staff members. I'm so glad I was able to find a dentist office like this one. read more

I had severe tooth pain and had gone to a different dentist prior to seeing Dr. Anderkvist. The first dentist left me in a lot of pain, and I was expected to stay in that condition for 2 weeks until a specialist could come perform a root canal. My boyfriend found Westwood Dental Smiles on Yelp and called to try to get me an appointment. The office manager, Jessica, was very compassionate and told my boyfriend to go ahead and bring me in immediately. The doctor explained that a root canal wasn't possible and recommended an extraction. He performed the extraction the same day to help get me out of pain and on the road to recovery. Dr. Anderkvist called me at home that night to make sure I was feeling all right. I'm super impressed with Westwood Dental Smiles and I will be sending anyone who asks me to them. read more

For a person that hasn't been to a Dentist in over a decade, my visit to "Westwood Dental Smiles" was totally re-assuring. I felt completely taken care of & not taken advantage of, financially. Some people get nervous about going to the Dentist & for the most part, I'm not one of them, but I had to get a root canal, so I was kind of freaked out cause I was in a lot of pain. The Endodontist on site (Dr. Nadia Tabachnik) was absolutely perfect. Her work was very good & she was very easy to talk to & work with regarding the pain management of my tooth's bad root. She did an excellent job & every concern I had was taken care of or assessed very thoughtfully. Following this initial appt. I went to see Dr. Thomas Anderkvist to get my temporary crown put on. I thought "it's not possible for both of these Drs. to be totally awesome" but I was wrong! He too was very thoughtful, professional, & concerned for my well being & for the procedure's successful completion. He even helped clean up & take care of a tooth on the verge of a cavity for FREE! He was the BEST Dentist I've ever been to! Super nice guy & totally thoughtful. This office is full of great people! Even their admin. manager Meryl was a total sweetheart & was very thoughtful concerning my financial needs. This place is the best! Don't go anywhere else for your Dental needs! These guys are the best!!!! read more

I met Dr Anderkvist a few years ago when my teeth were a mess. I needed multiple implants (9 upper and 1 lower) and met him for a consultation. My experiences with him were amazing. He recommended an oral surgeon to do the implants and when they had healed he completely rebuilt my upper mouth with crowns. It was a long process and over the next 10 months I came to know Tomas both personally and professionally. As a technician his work is excellent and as a person, he is warm, concerned and lovely to be around. The results of his work was that I have a full mouth of teeth, perfectly aligned and have not had any issues with them for the past 5 years. I am proud to say that he is my dentist. read more

Outstanding staff, I feel like i visited my best friends when I go to my appoinmtmemts

I'm a wimp when it comes to getting dental work because of horrible past experiences..but this office really makes you comfortable! EVERYONE is so friendly and professional!! I would highly recommended this dental office! I'm extremely excited my Husband found this place and I would like to thank the ENTIRE staff for making my visit pleasant! read more

I have actually been going to Dr. A for maybe 18-19 years (!!) and it has never occurred to me to go anywhere else because I have been so pleased with my treatment here. Even if there is an issue, they are quick and friendly about rectifying it, and my teeth are strong, clean and my gums are healthy thanks to their attention and care over the years. Special kudos to Sarah, she is a fantastic hygienist and a joy to "chat" with during my cleanings - she always puts me at ease with her perfect balance of professionalism/skill and humor/humanity. See you in August! read more

I honestly don't agree with the negative reviews, but we are all entitled to have our own opinions..I personally had a great experience with Dr Anderkvist and Dr Tabachnik. She did my my root canal, it has been over 6 months and I am doing great with it. Also Meryl deserves a personal "shoutout" for high customer service level read more

Went in with a missing filling that I knew was going to be a root canal. I am a very knowledgeable dentistry patient and they did not try and pull any tricks as described in the other posts. Not only did they do a check up and a filling for 100 bucks they matched the price of UCLA's dental school for a root canal and made me a package deal on the post and the crown too. 3000 dollar job for 1600 is well worth 4 stars in my book. 6 months down the road the tooth is doing fine and seems to be well seated and in good condition. Only down side was having my bike stolen when i got out of my 5 hour appointment. read more

Dr Anderkvist is a great dentist and very knowledgeable what he does. His staff are very nice and friendly. I feel very comfortable every time I go to his office. Sara, the hygienist is the best ever who cleans my teeth every two months. She is very gentle and very thorough, therefore, I love her since she does such a great job cleaning my teeth. I highly recommend this office for your dental needs! read more

Dr. Nadia Tabachnik and her assistants are AMAZING!! I visited two dentists and one Endodontist before I finally found her and I'm so happy I did . After months of pain and one week of complete agony, Dr. Tabachnik found the root of all my headaches, jaw pain, nightly throbbing pain, fever, etc. Other dentists/specialist could not diagnose my tooth pain after several visits. However, Dr. Tabachnik did... and in only one visit. Dr. Nadia Tabachnik is very gentle when doing work. She also thoroughly explains the procedures involved to the patient. I could not be in better hands. Thank you Westwood Dental Smiles for saving me from tooth pain. Dr. Nadia Tabachnik YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!! read more

I went to this clinic because they work with difficult patients like me who are very nervous in the dentist office. They offer sedation dentistry and are very experienced working with people like me. I am so glad I found them. I have had some very unpleasant experiences with various dentists but feel I have finally found THE ONE!!. They were so good with me and so gentle and caring. They make you feel like you are their only customer. I cant wait to get my teeth back to regular cleaning and maintenance now that I have found a gentle kind and caring dentist that is willing to work with me and take a little extra time to make me comfortable. The whole office is so kind and I am very excited about going back.....and I have NEVER said that about any dentist. read more

WOW!!!!!!! Can I give 10 stars??? I took my mom, Gigi, to see Dr. Anderkvist and his team recently; that was the BEST decision I ever made! She was in such pain - her entire mouth was a mess. Dr. Anderkvist and everyone at Westwood Dental Smiles were so kind, thoughtful, supportive, warm and most of all, talented! Thank you Dr. Anderkvist for taking such great care of my mother, almost as if she was your OWN mother! Gigi looks like a million bucks, younger than before and is now ready to paint the town red with her pearly whites. We are so appreciative of your work, Dr. Anderkvist! Now, she can smile and eat, like a normal person, all while looking like a celebrity! read more

Dr. Anderkvist saved my mouth. I started going to him more than 10 years ago with a mouth full of broken, decayed and missing teeth due to bad genes, bad previous work, and neglect due to fear of dentists. Dr. Anderkvist rebuilt my mouth tooth by tooth through a combination of crowns, and bridges where teeth could be saved, and implants where teeth were missing. (It helps tremendously that he's a prosthodontist--a specialist in crowns, bridges and complex cases) In as bad of shape as my teeth were in you'd think I'd have been happy with anyone who could make me look somewhat normal. But no, I was single, young, an artist and I wanted perfection. And even more than that I wanted natural looking teeth. I now get compliments on my smile all the time -- it still floors me, because I wasn't born like this-- he created it (my dental xrays prove it.). Before I got my porcelain crowns, Dr. Anderkvist hand carved temporaries out of plastic so I could see how they look in my mouth, and request adjustments. Only after the temporaries were exactly what I wanted did he take the impression forpermanent crowns. It was really nice to be able to help craft my smile. In all the years I've gone there, I've never had a billing issue, and I've never had to wait more than 5-10 minutes to be seen. Usually I'm seen immediately-- even for emergencies. He's gentle, extraordinarly talented, and because of me, he's seen the worst of the worst!! So no matter how complex your case is-- trust me, he's seen worse. One more thing... he's the only Westside doctor I've been to that routinely validates parking! I can't recommend him highly enough. Kimm read more

Best dentist I've had to date. I am always at ease in the hands of Dr. Anderkvist and his excellent staff. It's been almost five years since my first visit. Since then I've had a number of fillings done, all of which go completely unnoticed to most everyone. My mom to this day still believes I never had a single cavity! The staff goes above and beyond. A story I love to relay belabors this point. I had some bonding on my front upper tooth for years, left over from some sub-par orthodontic work. Tracy noticed this on the tooth and asked me what it was. I told her that it was left over from the braces I once had, and that several dentists tried to remove it to no avail. I had that bonding on my tooth for nearly 15 years! Tracy proceeded to try several instruments until she finally noticed she was making progress. Thirty minutes later, after some persistence, the bonding was gone! This was an eyesore I was self-conscious of, and I assumed it would be with me forever, but thanks to Tracy I'm able to smile big now. I was shocked to see some of the comments here. It is hard to imagine having anything short of a great experience with Dr. Anderkvist. I highly recommend him, and do to friends and family. read more
