I'm not someone who enjoys going to the dentist. I've had terrible experiences in the past, so dental visits bring me a lot of stress and anxiety. However, everyone in the office was extremely warm and friendly. Dr. Grella and his staff are incredibly thorough. All of my questions were answered, and I never felt rushed. I also have a very old mouthguard that I was convinced needed to be replaced, but Dr. Grella suggested bringing it in first to see if it could simply be cleaned instead of replaced entirely. If you're someone who hates going to the dentist and feels a lot of anxiety about it, I definitely recommend Dr. Grella and his amazing team. I left feeling relieved and truly happy to have found a place I feel comfortable returning to. read more

Dr.Grella is a very informative dentist he always explains step to step the office has a calm and caring atmosphere. I always recommend Dr.Grella's office. One of the best dentist I've ever been too. His office staff is pleasant and friendly. read more

He is a caring, skilled dentist and he was praised by my former dentist when he retired. He has a number of dental hygienests and I especially like Blanca. A crown on my top front tooth came out while eating and he saw me on an emergency (for me) basis and had the replacement in my mouth the same day it came loose (not his crown). His dental care is excellent in every way. I recommend him without hesitation read more

Grella took over the my prior dentistry, Dr. McKibben. Shortly thereafter, my dental hygienist of about 15 years left and not long after that, most of the old staff. The experience just wasn't the same. I stuck around Initially because they were in network with my insurance, but then dropped without notice. This resulted in a hefty cleaning and X-ray bill. Needless to say, I've moved on. read more

Dr. Grella and his team are the best. I have been to many other dentists in the past and this one by far is my favorite. I have always pushed out my dental appointments as far as I could, because I hated going to the dentist. A month ago, I went in for an "overdue" cleaning and it was super easy, painless, and quick. I left happy, and comfortable with retuning again in 6 months. Today, I went in for a filing that he said I needed. The procedure was quick and painless. The office staff is very nice and friendly. Will be returning in 6 months for another cleaning! If you are skeptical about the dentist, I recommend Dr. Grella. He is friendly and knowledgeable. read more

I'm one of those people who make the mistake of not seeing a Dentist regularly. It was a broken tooth that finally put me in the chair. On the recommendation of a family member I chose Dr Grella (Will). The office staff was alerted to my deep fear and from the moment I arrived did everything they could to make me feel comfortable. Shortly after I arrived Will came out personally and brought me to the exam room. Thus I didn't have to sit in the waiting room to dwell on my fears. He immediately made me feel at ease. Upon examination he told me it was a clean break and a simple fill. He made me feel quite at ease. I was moved to a procedure room where George took over. Since I hadn't been to a Dentist in over 15 years he did a full set of X-rays. I was feeling more and more comfortable Will and George worked together to prepare my tooth for the filling. They were amazing. I got through the numbing and drilling with very little discomfort. Once the 3D filling was in place George was incredibly meticulous to ensure the fit was perfect and my bite was exactly as it was before. I cannot stress enough about how thorough he was, accepting nothing short of perfection. The professionalism and care I received from Will, George, and the entire staff is the standard all medical offices should strive for. Thank you all for fixing my tooth and curing me of a lifelong fear of dentists. read more

I love going here for my dental services. The staff is SO friendly, they're always on time, and the office itself is clean and up to date. The hygienists are gentle and teach me something new about how to better take care of my oral health every time I visit. Dr. Grella is friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this office to anyone, especially if you have fear of dental care from bad experiences in the passed. read more

Super relatable dentist and staff. I had no pain during my procedure and my procedure went quick. Great experience with my new dentist and dental team. read more

The dental hygienist I see is Natalie. She is always very professional and courteous. I have very sensitive teeth and is always checking in on me during my cleanings. She is very knowledgeable about oral health care and is always providing tips and guidance. If you plan on visiting this dentist office, ask for Natalie, she will provide and excellent experience. As long as Natalie is still there I will continue to go to this dentist office. read more

I'm really happy with Dr Grella as my dentist. I've been to him three times: twice for regularly scheduled dental cleanings and most recently to check out a toothache. If I had to describe the office in one word, it would be "efficient." Each time, setting up an appointment was seamless. They are very responsive to their emails/phone calls and I've never had an issue getting a time that works with me. Even when I had a toothache and wanted to be seen within a couple of days! I never wait long, either which is appreciated. I've also always been able to find parking on the street outside the building pretty easily. The staff are all welcome and friendly. read more

What a fabulous office! Everyone is friendly and helpful. Dr Grella is awesome. He listens to his patients and understands their needs. He explains options for solving any issue a person may have. The technicians and hygienists are knowledgeable. read more

They are so good at providing comfort and care for dental anxiety! Staff is always so kind.

If you're looking for a trustworthy dentist with impeccable work do yourself a favor and get your work done here. I looked for so long and could not find the level of expertise and confidence that these men provided for me. I am a woman that suffers from severe anxiety and dental work is not easy for me. This past Saturday I had a wonderful experience. This office is very organized and competent. The Doctor that performed my extraction and implant was amazing. I was in and out, but never feeling like I was not taken care of correctly. With the level of anxiety that I have I felt that He and His team made all this work very comfortable for me. These guys know their stuff and have a wonderful staff of dental assistants and front desk. No shenanigans here! And I actually look forward to going back and getting the rest of my work done despite my anxiety. That's wild! I love this place read more

I can't tell you how happy I am after finding Dr. Grella. He took over the practice of my prior two dentists. Every visit has been a fantastic experience. His prices are very reasonable and he does fantastic work. My dental health has improved exponentially in the past year. The office staff is always fabulous. read more

Dr.Grella and his whole staff are the best. They make you feel right at home and procedures are always super easy and comfortable. I'm over the moon with my bonding results!! I have been wanting to get my front teeth fixed for years! They have an awesome insurance plan for patients which gets you 15% procedures like this plus cleanings and lots of other exams that we humans usually put off. Haha Thanks again for an amazing experience! read more

Will Grella, DDS - Before and After Bonding-- had chipped front teeth for years! - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Long Beach, California

I really really like Dr. Grella, but unfortunately they did not tell me they went out of network!!!! This happened recently without telling any of his patients. All of my cleaning and X-rays are usually free but now I got a large bill in the mail. Going to have to find another dentist in network now. That's unfortunate. Glad it wasn't a root canal! read more

I've been with Dr. Grella for a few years now. This was my first dental plan since turning 26 after having to get dental insurance on my own. There was once a time where I lost coverage so I paid out of pocket because I liked their office so much. Once I was recovered, I ended up paying even more to ensure I had a PPO that they would accept. I want to note that I did this without issue because I really enjoyed coming to this office. Dr. Grella and the hygienists are so sweet, and have always treated me well. My complaint is more toward the front office staff (particularly the older woman who answers the phones). Apparently my insurance was dropped and I wasn't notified, so they sent me a pretty large bill for a cleaning and tried to gaslight me about receiving a notice in the mail. When I asked if there was anything they could do about the bill because I am a full time student and this bill was very unexpected... the woman's literal response was "what do you want me to do? Tell Dr. Grella to pay for it?" I was literally dumbstruck at her sarcastic response and lack of empathy. Needless to say, I paid my bill in full on a credit card and cancelled my future appointments. I don't want to give 1 star because, like I said, Dr. Grella and the rest of the dental team are so nice. He really is a great dentist. I'm just not a fan of poor customer service. read more

Haven't been back for 3 years but so happy to have new dental insurance again to be able to return to this office! Again, an amazing experience like my first few visits here 3 yrs ago. Edith assisted me with my appointment and was very efficient, warm and friendly. I was available the same day but they had no openings at first. Within two hours, she called me back as soon as an open appointment slot became available. I was very grateful they got me in the same day! I was taken care of by Vision who was a great hygienist. She spent a good amount of time getting to know me and did an excellent job with my exam and cleaning. I am excited to come back for my 6 month check up! read more

Dr. Grella has always been amazing. He and his staff are professional and experts at what they do. Don't hesitate to visit for your next cleaning! read more

We scheduled to have my wife's teeth cleaned after she finished treatment from her Oncologist. We cleared the dental visit with the Oncologist first, then scheduled the dental appointment. When we finally got to see the hygienist they refused to clean her teeth until they were able to contact our Oncologist to make sure we were telling the truth. We had to schedule with another dentist to perform the overdue cleaning just to maintain our health. Dr. Grella could have advised us in advance if he required more than our assurance that we cleared the work with our Oncologist prior to wasting our time. I agree with other comments about feeling rushed when we were at the office. read more

TL;DR - Great dentist for those nervous about dentists. Everyone in the office was pleasant and calming. One of my friends has been coming to this dentist with her family for a while. She had nothing but good words to say in the group chat and slowly but surely all of us have started seeing Dr Grella. I may have been the last to join because I really, really, really do not like the dentist. I get anxious leading up to my appointment and because of this -- I have really neglected my oral health. It's a vicious cycle, because very few years I realize I *need* to see a dentist, and every time I am left with a bad experience and avoid it again for far too long. When I called to make my appt, the person who answered the phone was so warm and calming -- and nonjudgemental when I told them I was "overdue" for my exam/cleaning. I already felt at ease. They happened to have an appt that worked for me the same week (called on a Monday, appt on that Friday) so I went ahead and agreed before I could think too much about it. The new patient paperwork was really easy and all completed online - I really liked this streamlined process. On Friday I arrived, a ball of nerves, and the person working the front desk was again super charming and welcoming. I went for my x-rays and then to see the hygienist. The dental hygienist was SUPER thorough with my cleaning. They told me things about my teeth I had wondered about but never knew the cause of! It was a really refreshing experience -- it hurt, because it has been so long, but nothing unbearable. After my exam, the doctor came in and reviewed my x-rays with me. I told him that I knew I have cavities from prior exams that I never fixed. He asked how many and I told him 3. He took a look at my teeth and confirmed 3 obvious surface level cavities & two possibles he put on watch. I've had this same conversation with a couple dentists - this was the first time it was delivered in a way that didn't make me feel as though I was the worst person ever for not taking care of my teeth. It was very gently & matter of fact. He told me to schedule 1-2 appts, depending on how I felt about getting all done at once, and prescribed me a high flouride toothpaste. At the front desk, I went to schedule my fillings & 6 month follow-up ... they happened to have availability the next morning (Saturday)! I snagged it, knowing I wanted to get it over with. When I arrived back Saturday morning the Dentist greeted me "You're back!!" He asked if I wanted to tackle 2 or all 3 cavities -- I told him "I'd like to get all 3 because I really don't like this" -- He laughed and made a joke and we got to work. Throughout the fillings he was communicative and patient -- and the hygienist working alongside him was extremely calming. She had to remind me to breathe a few time and I was super grateful for the reminder. The numbing the doctor placed before giving me the anesthetic shots made me feel nothing at all. For getting a heavy cleaning and three cavities in 24 hours; this was far and away one of the best dentist experiences I've had in my adult life. I'm very happy my friends recommended him & I definitely recommend if you are someone who is nervous about going. I'll be bringing my two kids in soon as well. read more

I hate the drive here from Irvine. Best dentist hands down, there are none other in SoCal like Dr Will Grella. I don't do well at the dentists at all, even for just cleanings. Dr Grella is always very efficient, comforting, knowledgeable, and honest. read more

After years of not going to the dentist I finally made an appointment thanks to the reviews I saw here. They did not disappoint. Dr Grella and the entire team there including the folks at the front desk are very professional and very kind and sweet. I never have to worry about having to wait longer than 5 mins like at other places where you get double booked. I'm in and out and the nerves I've get from going to the dentist are totally gone. I can't recommend enough! read more

Had my second visit here with Dr. Grella. Everyone was welcoming as usual, and I had the same hygienist as before. I'm happy to report that this experience was much better, she was extremely thorough, and gentle. I am feeling no discomfort, and gratitude that I had her a second time. Very happy with my decision to go to Dr. Grella highly recommended. read more

Everyone in his office is professional, kind and skilled. Dr. Grella is the best dentist my husband and I have ever used.

I love this dental office. I always feel at ease coming into my appointments knowing that I'll be heard and be given phenomenal care. Natalie, the dental hygienist is not only thorough but extremely gentle during my cleanings. I look forward to my next visit with her! read more

I am so glad to have found Dr. William Grella and his great staff. I have had multiple cleanings as a patient and Dr Grella introduced me to a mouth guard to assist me with my sleep apnea. Thanks to Dr Grella, my wife doesn't wake me up for snoring too loud at night and I'm getting more restful sleep. All have been comfortable, painless procedures with the utmost care. Not only is Dr. Grella a pleasant person, he is a great dentist. In addition, the staff at the office are friendly, accommodating and always willing to help with tough billing questions or scheduling. If you like A+ customer service then you will like this staff. If you are considering a new dentist, I would not look anywhere else. I do not really leave reviews, but I have to spread the love for Dr. Grella and his team, so try them - it's a no brainer. read more

Dr. Grella and his staff are amazing. I broke a tooth over a holiday weekend, the doctor was immediately available by phone to speak with me by cellphone. As I wasn't in pain, he worked me in on the next business day. Not only did he and his able assistant Karina repair my tooth, but also Dr. Grella has the machine that manufactures crowns (composite, porcelain or metal) right in his office. As the repair was urgent, they manufactured and installed a metallic crown, perfectly matched to my tooth color while I waited, rather than me having to wear a temp and wait for several weeks. Attached is a picture of the device that makes the crown. In my experience Dr. Grella has always been ahead of the curve when it come to new innovations, I highly recommend him and his staff. read more

Great experience here as a first time patient going in blind with no referrals straight from Yelp, was in and out fairly quick and Dr. Nguyen was a great help explaining any concerns I had with my teeth after a routine check-up + cleaning and thorough in running me through what he was doing. Remains to be seen if I'm going to have any billing issues since some places can be a little shady in that regard even if they have great service but I'll coming be back for a follow-up in the meantime! read more

LOVE this office!! The entire team is so awesome! You can tell they have a great work environment. I've always been awful about keeping up with my dental appointments, but they're great at setting up my appointments and sending out reminders. I brought my boyfriend so now he's a regular client. Dr Grella is really approachable and gives you an honest assessment of what you need as well as give an easy to understand explanation of any extensive work so you can make an informed decision. I've been a client for a year now and I'm so happy to say I've found a Dentist that I can stick with. Love their entire team, everyone is so friendly and informative. read more

A friend recommended Dr. Grella to me and I'm very happy with my experience here so far. I've had trouble scheduling appointments in the past at other dental offices, where I have to schedule several months in advance (even pre-COVID) and if I wanted to reschedule, it would be another 1-2 months out. This didn't work for me because I need dental cleanings every 4 months, otherwise I develop gingivitis like clockwork. This is not a problem here! Dr. Grella has been thorough and great at explaining things every time. The whole scheduling, check in/out, and payment process is quick and easy. read more

My brother is a retired dentist and so I haven't seen any other for years but a broken tooth forced the issue. My brother recommended Dr Grella to me and I was not disappointed!! His office is well run, his staff is great and his "chair side" manner very professional yet personable. He explained to me what had happened and why and what he would be doing to fix it. He gave me options and made sure to ask if I had questions before proceeding. He was even able to fabricate the crown I needed based on the material I chose! So far so good! It has been a few days and the crown feels great. No problems but he did make sure to let me know if I found any "bite" issues to come back for adjustment. I'll be going back soon for my overdue cleaning! read more

This is the best dentist I've ever been to, as someone who has had tons of dental work done at other practices. I've always had a lot of anxiety around going to the dentist. I have ZERO anxiety when I go to Dr. Grella's office. In the past I've avoided scheduling regular cleanings and check ups because I've always hated my dentists. Now, I actually have a schedule of cleanings and checkups and am finally getting much needed dental work done because Dr. Grella's office makes the experience so smooth. Everyone here is extremely respectful, personable, friendly, and patient. They always remember my name and say hi to me when I walk in, and I've never had to wait more than a few minutes to be seen. Dr. Grella and his whole team are so kind and will explain every step of what they're doing if that's something you need. Seriously cannot recommend this place enough. I feel so relieved to have a dentist who I'm totally comfortable with, and who I never feel is trying to push unnecessary procedures on me just to get my money. In fact, Dr. Grella has gone out of his way to save me money, something I've never experienced with a dentist before. This is the best dentist in Long Beach, hands down. read more

Had an amazing experience here! Staff is amazing and beyond friendly! Sofia whitened my teeth and turned out perfect! Would highly recommend this office for anyone looking for a dental home! read more
