Best dental office in the city. Painless and very kind. First time in my life I haven’t minded going to the dentist.
October 26, 2021Kelly P.Verified patient
Very rude. It turned me off and I didn't want a dentist that didn't sound like they cared and very curt.

Great dentist. Thorough. Professional. Very personable.
December 17, 2019Michael B.Verified patient
I wouldn’t return due to the lack of professionalism. After declining an additional service that was not covered by my insurance, the cleaning felt noticeably rushed. The entire appointment took less than 20 minutes and did not include flossing, which I found unusual for a standard dental cleaning.
Overall, the experience felt inattentive and unprofessional, and I did not feel the level of care I would expect as a patient.
Less than 6 months agoJean W.Verified patient
We were received by a receptionist that told us she had tried to call us prior to the appointment. She was very demanding and rude. We were made to feel unwelcome in the office, from the moment we walked in she was very disapproving of us based on our appearance and seemed having a bad day. We booked at the wrong office and were nice and said no big deal. It wasn't a great interaction. Very unimpressed with this office.

This office is very clean and has nice vibes. Today I had fillings done by Dr Dekano. She is an amazing dentist and I felt really cared for.

Dr Dekano has the eye of an artist and the attention to detail of an astute scientist. Beyond doing quality work she insists on doing the right thing with a conservative approach and being fair, which is nearly impossible to find in LA.

Best dental office ever!!! The front desk is always so welcoming and hospitable and Im especially thankful for Dr Dekano and Inga who always take such good care of my teeth.

They are fast, efficient, clean and have state of the art technology. I have officially changed my mind about going to Mexico to get dental work done. Thank you Dr Dekano.
More than 1 year agoNS
Very good dentistry. They pay attention for all concerns and needs. Wide insurance companies acceptable. Quality complex operations, like implantation, roots treatment. Also Dr. Dekano works with Invisalign. Also I like quality of their cosmetics operations like teeth cleaning and witenning. We tried a lot dentists after we moved to LA, till we met Dr. Dekano. Also she collaborate with good and qualified doctors of wide profiles.

Very efficient and pleasant dentist and staff!
December 10, 2021Rachelle P.Verified patient
Caring; concerned that the new bridge not only fit properly, but that it looked good as well. When doing the preparation for the bridge, she made sure that I was as comfortable as possible. (used more anesthetic as needed...or as she felt that it was needed.)

I have every confidence in her abilities.

I love how Dr. Dekano is very efficient and thorough. I had a thorough exam, felt informed, and had a great cleaning that was unscheduled. Dr. Dekano did my cleaning herself so that I wouldn't have to wait or come back another day.

Office staff & dental professionals were friendly. The office was clean and modern. This is the type of dental office that pushes products and wants to upsell and say you need things you don't really need. Did a good job cleaning teeth & with x-rays.

Dr. Dekano listened to my concerns, checked carefully for what might be my situation, and explained her findings and recommendations clearly. We have a good professional/client relationship going back many years. She is knowledgeable, caring and kind.

She's great! It's hard for me to trust dentists in LA. It's all any selling product. But she genuinely cares about me and my teeth

Fantastic dentist. Great staff. She is great at saving teeth . Very caring and most importantly, no pain! My fear of going to the dentist is gone thanks to this fine doctor. Highest recommendation.

Dr. Dekano is the best! I am an extremely anxious patient and her and her staff never fail to put me at ease. Dr. Dekano completed restorative dental work on my teeth 3 years ago and they’ve held up wonderfully and she continues to take great care of my mouth. Always happy to see her!
April 18, 2019Ashley W.Verified patient
Dr Dekano is the most highly skilled and knowledgeable dental professional I have encountered. She communicates well with both staff and patients. It is a pleasure to interact with the medical team and the front office.I recommend Dr.Dekano highly.

My consultation couldn't have been any better. Dr Dekano is by far the best dentist I've seen. The office is clean and her staff is very professional. I hope to continue my dental care with you Dr. Dekano thank you for your care.
January 15, 2019Carlos E.Verified patient
The dentist was friendly and thorough in explaining her recommendations. Her dental assistant, Maria, was particularly sweet. The front desk also was helpful in explaining billing and setting up my next appt. This was my first time but I will be back for a treatment and regular cleanings going forward.
August 15, 2018Kaitlyn U.Verified patient
I have been Dr. Dekano's patient for several years...she is the best! I have had mostly crowns down by her...she is gentle, meticulous, and explains each step along the way. Not only is she all that, but she is also very time efficient, and the procedure moves along smoothly without snags! I highly recommend her if you're looking for a competent dentist!

My visit was great. Dr. Dekano was very thorough with her exam, took her time to explain all her findings and exactly what needed to be done and why. She took images with her camera of all my teeth wich helped me a lot, seeing the condition of the teeth and understanding why they needed treatment.
