Wonderful experience! Everyone in the office was so friendly and it has a great atmosphere, I was walked through the charges and any procedure recommended made sense.
February 12, 2026Star C.Verified patient
The dentist and staff are very nice, but make sure to triple-verify that they actually take your insurance plan. Their ZocDoc page said they did, but I found out after my appointment that they do not, and I now owe out of pocket for a routine cleaning.
December 17, 2024Claire H.Verified patient
The dentists tried to upsell me, and charge me for services that weren't covered by my insurance. They made bogus claims about issues I needed to have done that my insurance didn't cover. They then called me later that day to charge me additional money claiming that my insurance didn't cover the X-Rays THEY insisted on doing, even though they ran my insurance a month before the appointment and never brought this up. Very bizarre experience, I will not be going to them again.

very kind staff and doctor! i will definitely make this my general dentist while in LA. i love that they make each patient aware of everything they are doing and why - they want you to be educated about the procedure.

Excellent experience. Every person was super knowledgable, communicative, and professional. They gave me an exact breakdown of costs per visit including what I could expect my insurance to cover. Would recommend to anyone!
April 12, 2023Andrea M.Verified patient
Incredible experience. I had to hop on an unexpected meeting right when my appointment started and the staff were completely accommodating, professional, and attentive to my circumstances. The dentist even came back after my meeting was done to make sure I hadn't missed anything he said. Everything about the visit was seamless and I felt they were all highly skilled at what they did.
March 9, 2023Kirsten M.Verified patient
Friendly staff , felt very comfortable, they are very clear on their procedures and make sure you are comfortable at all times .
April 4, 2022Matthew N.Verified patient
Visiting LA for the Holidays, and had an emergency dental issue. The office manager contacted me right after I filled out the forms by phone the night before. The staff was friendly and I was seen right away the next morning. All was taken care of and the dentist was lovely and explained procedure.
Made what could have been a terrible situation not a bad one and did not ruin the holidays!
Very grateful!

First off - WOW. For someone who had not been to the dentist in a long time, had some issues that needed to be addressed, and def had some shame around it, I can't even describe how AMAZING Forever Smile was. From the first call to finally meeting them at the office, they were SO KIND. Helped me understand exactly what was going to happen on the first appointment and what to expect. They were responsive, communicative, and so nice. Seriously. I knew I had chosen the right place before I even set foot in the office.
And when I got to the office it was no different. Even at 8am on a Monday, everyone made me feel like I had been coming for years and that I was meant to be there! Friendly staff who helped me feel at ease, and despite having some teeth issues, did NOT make me feel any shame or embarrassment. They really understand that it can be hard for people to get back to the dentist after a while. Dr. Shelyan was efficient, gentle, and thorough in his exam.
After the exam / appointment itself was over, Sarit came in and sat with me one-on-one and talked me through all costs - including what my insurance paid / what I would be covering. But this part took it over the top (although I had already loved the experience) - she then used visuals to explain what they would be doing at my next appointment, why, what the science of it was, and gave me stuff to use at home (toothpaste / mouthwash). The office itself is feels very luxurious - clean, beautiful rooms and nice natural light.
Honestly. I have never in my life had such a positive experience in a medical office. I am so thrilled to finally have found a dentist in my area with a staff who don't just make me feel comfortable - but actually have me EXCITED to come back.
5 +++++ stars. If you're looking for a dental office - look no further.

I came into the Forever Smile office knowing I was going to need a lot of serious dental work. Dr. Shelyan was (and continues to be) kind, comprehensive and gentle! In addition, Sarit was an incredible assistant. She made my check-in and billing experiences as "painless" as possible!
June 16, 2020Thomas D.Verified patient
I've been coming the Dr Shelyan's office for dental work for several years. He always takes care of me when I'm in and helps me with all my concerns. They are also very helpful when it comes to accommodating my schedule, always able to fit me in when I get some time away form the office.
December 19, 2019Gabe A.Verified patient
Dr. Shelyan is great. I just had my first appointment with him, and he immediately diagnosed dental issues I've had my entire life that no other dentist noticed. My appointment was very educational, and I highly recommend.
July 4, 2019Kali T.Verified patient
I loved being able to fill out the required paperwork from home online prior to my appointment so I was roomed right away. Dr
Shelyan was very kind and patient with all of my questions. Very sweet staff as well. I'm looking forward to coming back!

I recommend everyone to Dr.Shelyan. I've been terrified of dentists all of my life and he has definitely changed my perspective. Don't be too skeptical of the reviews that you see. He's very genuine and so is the staff. My experience with everyone at Dr.Shelyans office has been amazing and Sharit is fantastic. You really can't ask for a better group of people.
November 15, 2017Allie C.Verified patient
Dr. Shelyan was great. I went in for a root canal (one of the worst dental experiences ever in my opinion) and he eased me through much of the ordeal, even offering me nitrous oxide to help calm my nerves. I'm especially impressed with his front office team, though. Kristin and Sarit were so awesome and they definitely held my hand through every step of the procedure, from financing to making sure I stayed hydrated. Love them and definitely will be returning for further dental needs.
August 2, 2017Larretta S.Verified patient
He will try to sell you expensive treatments and surgeries, but otherwise he is a good dentist and my teeth feel great after my cleanings. He did an excellent job, I just wish I didn't feel pressured to pay out of pocket for procedures he knows I can't afford.

Dr. Shelyan was professional and informative in his bedside manner. He explained all what was needing to be done and the reasons that we needed to do it. Also explained the ramifications of if it didn't get cared for. Appreciated the honesty from him and his staff. Would definitely, and am, go back again for my dental needs.
June 20, 2017Thomas V.Verified patient
I always have anxiety going to the dentist, but Dr. Shelyan was amazing and very in tune to my needs as a patient. The office stayed open later for me to accommodate my schedule and was helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.

The entire team worked together to provide a polished and professional enperience. In short, I really enjoyed this trip to the dentist.
During my appointment we completed solid research on my teeth, did realistic projections for a strong prognosis, and developed a plan that works for me and my pocketbook.
Every single person was first-class. Now I feel like they are my team - And I like that.
May 21, 2016David P.Verified patient
I walked in pretty nervous as I hadn't been to the dentist in over a year and I knew my teeth were in bad shape. All of the staffed helped me to ensure I felt comfortable and educated me on everything that was going to occur. They helped me prioritize my treatments to ensure everything was manageable on my end.
October 15, 2015Mascio G.Verified patient
Going to the dentist can be terrible, but this was a very pleasant experience. The staff is unbelievably friendly and courteous. They walked me through exactly what they recommended for treatment/services and also through my costs with insurance. No one pressured me for anything. Highly recommended.
Chase M.Verified patient
I was looking for a dental office that was close to my work and this one came in the top 3.
Reviews were great and now I understand why: I love how the Dr Shelyan takes the time to:
- answer your questions
- show you how to do things properly and why to do them
- make sure you're comfortable / okay / not in pain
- explain you in details your situation
- get to know you and your habits better
On top of that, his Assistant Parisla, as well as the Receptionist Carla and the Office Manager Sarit are really great women.
Everyone there really makes your feel comfortable and you can talk to them very openly.
I scheduled an appointment for my husband quickly after mine and he had a very positive experience as well.

I had a great experience with Dr. Mehrshad Shelyan as well as with his associates. Everyone was very friendly from beginning to end. I've already recommended him to other co-workers!
June 26, 2015Tricia M.Verified patient
I am a very big fan of Dr. Shelyan and his entire staff at Forever Smile. Everyone is so friendly, informative, and they make you feel really comfortable. I'm from out of town so I was worried about finding a good dentist but I can confidently say that I will definitely be coming to them for all of my dental needs and referring my friends to them as well. Everyone in the office is wonderful and genuinely care about their patients!
June 22, 2015Kamil L.Verified patient
Tried to upcharge me to a pricey deep cleaning and a host of other expenses... Even if I needed all of them (I've never had a cavity before, though it's been two years since my last dentist appt), I walked in to get a free cleaning and left feeling pressured to spend A LOT of money worth of dental work. Don't have a good feeling about them, not returning.

Very friendly staff. They were professional and very thorough in regards to explaining billing and insurance coverage, and were upfront about all costs, which I appreciate. They also were very helpful in working out the best plan of attack for all my dental work, while staying within my budget. Dr. Sheylan is an excellent and talented dentist who made me feel at ease and comfortable. I recently had a bridge done and could not be happier with the results; you can't even tell I had any work done. -Noelle

Absolutely amazing service. The staff were incredibly helpful and efficient, and Dr Sheltan was so thorough and knowledgable and really put me at ease. Highly recommended, and one of best dentists I've ever been too.
Edward A.Verified patient
I originally had another Dentist scheduled for today but they called to cancel my appointment. I couldn't wait another day so I frantically looked for another dentist. The distance from where I lived mattered a little but what was more important was the reviews they had and how may they had. I luckily came across Dr Shelyan's profile here on ZocDoc and to my surprise he had availability for the morning I had to come in... That was less than a 12 hour notice. When I came in, Sarit, his office manager I assume, was incredibly welcoming and very pleasant to deal with. It was my first time using my new insurance so she even explained the details of my plan to me in better than my insurance company did! She was very informative and I appreciated that she took the time to run everything by me and in such detail. I couldn't be happier with my first experience at this office and I'm actually looking forward to my next dentist appointment.
September 10, 2014Salvador R.Verified patient
I was very pleased with my visit because I was traveling with my family and came in with an dental emergency. Dr. Shelyan took me in and treated me like I was one of his regular patients.

The office has a very professional staff members. He is a great dentist. He spent quit a bit of time going over my treatment plan recommending me what to do & what not to do. Throughout my many visits, he has done exceptional work on my teeth. I highly recommend him to everyone

Dr. Shelyan was very informative about all the work I needed. He answered all of my questions patiently. He offered me oral conscious sedation which was great for the amount of work I needed. The office worked so nicely with me for appointment times & financing.
SFVerified patient
Dr. Shelyan is very gentle and has a very good hand. I am getting all of my work done nearly pain free. He is a perfectionist and does not stop until the work is to his total satisfaction.
