“The dental hygienist was so knowledgeable, kind and engaged. He taught me so much about how to care for my teeth. He was also very delicate with my care. Then, the dentist came in and was informative and had great bedside manner. I will have to do a followup once I get my oral surgery. This was just for consultation and cleaning.”

I've been coming here for almost 10 years. Dr. Hanookai is amazing surgeon. I did pinhole and gum graft with her and would suggest her to other patients.

I am from out of town and was searching on yelp for a trustworthy periodontist rather than dentist. I stumbled upon Southland. I booked an appointment with Dr. Hanookai and she made me feel very comfortable. She is knowledgeable and gave advice on what she thinks is the best procedure for me.

O Thank you to Dr. Hanookai and Dr. Abaian for giving me my dream smile. I could not eat for years. I was always scared of a dentist, I finally found the team at Southland dental Care that could do all my work in one place specially my implants and make me so comfortable. They are truly the best.

Dr. Abaian and Dr. Hanookai are true angels among us. When I was 18 I was in a car accident that left me needing extensive cosmetic dental work. After several disappointments consultations at different dental offices over the past few years I was fortunate enough to meet Dr. Abaian and Dr! Hanookai I will be for ever grateful for their incredible work.

I walked into Southland Dental Care with teeth so pockmarked from decay I looked like an ex- Soviet Boxer. I needed EXTENSIVE dental work, including implants, crowns, bridges, root canals, etc., so I was understandbly nervous. Dr. Hanookai and her husband Dr. Abaian came highly recommended but the friend that recommended them didnt do them justice.

Nobody likes going to the dentist. I don't care who you are, but it has to be done. If you are going to take care of your teeth, they will take care of you. There is no better place to make sure your teeth are healthy and look great than Southland Dental. From the minute you walk in they treat you like family.

My dental journey hasn't been the best. Unfortunately, I have had dental issues since I can remember and the previous dentists that I have visited just didn't help it. get any better; from the lack of personal care to painful expierences... This all changed when I came to Southland Dental.

Like most people, I hated going to the dentist and put it off as long as I could. Then one day, I cracked an old filling. I called arround and was pretty much shamed by other offices. However, the staff at Southland Dental Care made me feel welcome safe and like an actual person. There was no judgement, just people that wanted to help. Dr. Abaian is the most gentle and genuine dentist.

I arrived at my appointment and was told they didn't have access to their Zocdoc schedule to update it and cancel the afternoon appointments for their staff meeting. I drove all the way there in pain, expecting to be seen, and they couldn't see me, I needed to reschedule. If they know appointments can be scheduled via Zocdoc and they are having access issues, they should have called customer service for a resolution. But the real issue is when I got there, they pulled me up in the system showing my 3p appointment. So why not call me and let me know it's been canceled. There was no regard for my time. I do not recommend, and I will not go back.
