For years, Beth was my hygienist and a total turning point -- she made cleanings feel calm and manageable instead of stressful. When she left, I was genuinely worried. Lourdes was the first hygienist I saw afterward, and I felt that same immediate sense of relief. At different visits, I saw other hygienists here, and they were all wonderful -- truly, everyone in this office is great. But when I was able to book with Lourdes again, I realized there's just something especially gentle and thoughtful about her that really stands out and reminds me of the care I had with Beth. She anticipates discomfort instead of just reacting to it -- offering chapstick when my lips felt dry, checking in and offering water when my mouth felt dry. These small, caring details make a huge difference when you're anxious in the dental chair. I'm so grateful for her care and highly recommend Lourdes to anyone who feels nervous about dental cleanings.

I had a very disappointing experience at Healthy Smiles Dental in Sherman Oaks and would strongly…read moreadvise others to proceed with caution. Before my appointment, no one reviewed or explained the charges for my deep cleaning. I have dual PPO insurance, and I know deep cleanings are covered, yet I was still charged a significant out-of-pocket amount. I was never informed that a laser would be used, nor that it would be an additional charge per quadrant. I assumed it was part of the standard procedure. This was never discussed or consented to prior to treatment. Even more concerning, my son and I were separated and taken to different rooms, and they proceeded to do multiple fillings on my son without ever informing me how many were needed or asking for my consent. No one came to explain the treatment plan before starting, during my own procedure, or afterward. As a parent, this is completely unacceptable. At no point was I given a clear treatment plan or cost breakdown for either of us. Despite having dual insurance coverage, I was still charged $621 out of pocket. When I asked for an itemized receipt, I was told they could not provide one, which is a huge red flag. This office feels extremely money-driven, with poor communication and questionable consent practices. I truly regret not paying closer attention to the reviews before booking here. Transparency, consent, and trust are critical in healthcare--and this office failed on all three. Please avoid this place and protect yourself and your family.

Exceptional Expertise & Life-Changing Results -- Thank You Dr. Okui and Team!…read more I was referred to Dr. Matthew Okui at Akemi Dental Specialists in Encino by my cosmetic dentist, Dr. Bernie Villadiego, for one of the most critical parts of my dental journey: replacing failed root canals in my two front teeth with implants. My situation was uniquely complex, and I wanted the best of the best. After extensive research, I chose to go with ceramic implants over traditional titanium--not only for health and lifestyle reasons, but also because they suited my specific needs. Ceramic implants require a high level of precision and experience, and very few periodontists offer them, let alone excel with them. Dr. Okui is one of those rare experts. From the first consultation, Dr. Okui's meticulous attention to detail and calm, confident approach gave me complete peace of mind. He approached my challenging case with the utmost care, treating it not just as a routine procedure, but as a personalized and highly technical medical and aesthetic solution. The result was a highly successful implant procedure with outcomes that exceeded my expectations. Not only is the function flawless, but the aesthetic result--when paired with the final restorations by Dr. Villadiego--is seamless. My smile feels whole again. His entire team was phenomenal--professional, kind, and attentive every step of the way. From scheduling to aftercare, they made everything smooth and stress-free. If you're facing a complex implant case or considering ceramic implants, Dr. Matthew Okui is the specialist you want in your corner. I'm beyond grateful for his skill, care, and the life-changing results he helped deliver.

The squatters had to go, AKA - wisdom teeth...If we didn't extract them they would cause utter chaos to the rest of the permanent teeth. Dr. Lokot was very thorough in explaining the process and was easy to talk to. The consult included X-rays for $235. (it is not deducted from your procedure) We scheduled the oral surgery a week after the consult with Natalie. Again, she explained what to expect and the instructions before the surgery. Let me tell you, everyone here is SUPER NICE!!! They made this entire procedure so much easier. They asked us to arrive 15 mins before the surgery. Ella was done in 30 mins and ready to go home 30 mins later. (60 mins total) Susie, one of the surgical nurses gave us after care instructions, more gauze and the ice pack that went around her head. Natalie gave me the prescriptions for antibiotics, pain management and ibuprofen which I filled downstairs at the pharmacy while Ella was under sedation. By the time we got home Ella was feeling okay with little discomfort. By the evening she was pretty much herself. Woo hoo! She does have to eat soft foods and care for her incisions for the next week or so but I am very pleased with the overall outcome. Thank you to Dr. Lokot, Natalie, Cindy, Susie, Jessica and the rest of the staff. We appreciated your kindness. *Dr. Lokot called tonight to see how Ella was doing ! Who does that any more???! *Parking lot - they validate *Pharmacy in the same complex *They take Credit/Debit or checks. *They ask you to fill out paper work online before your initial consult.
