Although no many people enjoy having their gums numbed by way of harpoons, this was a great experience and the work was amazing.
October 23, 2025Carlos P.Verified patient
The office was very dirty and 2x they rescheduled my appointment. Not great customer service and pricing was extremely high compared to other dentists for same type of work.
April 26, 2024Ebelin C.Verified patient
One of the better experiences I've had at the dentist as an adult. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I didn't feel like I was being upsold on anything, and the staff helped figure out what was important to do right away and what could wait for insurance purposes.
February 26, 2024Eric L.Verified patient
I was told I had a ridiculous amount of cavities and needed another procedure after consistently practicing good dental hygiene.
I went to get a second opinion at a separate office and was told that I needed none of that…

Dr. Edalat and his staff were super great. No judgement when I told them how long it had been since I had been to a dentist (it was a lot). Didn't try to upsell, cleaned fast, well and painless.
April 13, 2022Andrea G.Verified patient
GREAT PLACE!
February 17, 2022Gerald E.Verified patient
Very kind staff and Doctor. They were unfortunately short staffed and at a high volume when I was there so my appointment ended up being an hour plus later. That said, they were very apologetic and genuinely kind, apologizing for the wait and even gave me a free electric toothbrush for my troubles. Once they finally got to see me, everything was smooth and fast.

Great Dr, slow staff. They are kind but I was there for over an hour and a half for only having 20 min of work done. Sadly that seems to be the norm with Dr visits these days.

My dental health is not at its best. I was terrified to see the dentist but the staff and doctor made me feel comfortable and he made sure to explain what he was going to do and took care of me in a timely manner. I will definitely be going back.

The staff was friendly and helpful
May 21, 2021Dollie A.Verified patient
I'll start by saying that I had a very traumatic experience at the dentist 12 years ago that basically terrified me from going back to any dentist until today. I communicated this to the staff and they couldn't be sweeter or more professional. The tech was efficient and explained everything to calm my nerves. The dentist was awesome in every way and super attentive to my needs. Since I hadn't been in a long time, there was work to be done and they did it all then and there. I am so happy with my experience and they've made a client for life.
February 9, 2021Christina G.Verified patient
I had a great initial visit with, Dr. Edalat! He explained everything very clearly and offered different treatment plans based off of my insurance. I really appreciated his candor. I am looking forward to my second visit and continued care with his office.
February 5, 2021Ammar D.Verified patient
Dr. Poria Edalat was great. Very gentle and the shots were painless. I felt totally at ease while he pulled a back tooth. No pain at all. My fear of going to a dentist is gone now.

thank you!
January 11, 2021Sadie B.Verified patient
To me fo my first experience, they seem very genuine and concerned about teeth and hygiene. Conversation is fun and as a staff seem very comfortable and trusting of one another.

Like many people, I was nervous about going to the dentist after about 2 years of procrastination. Happy to say the experience was great, watched some scenes from Gremlins while I waited, the assistant was very friendly. Dr. Poria Edalat seemed very professional and welcoming, told me I had a cavity which needed filling, wasn't pressured to get any unnecessary work done. Also got a deep cleaning which was quick and painless. Great space, will be coming back. Take care of your teeth, they're the only ones you've got!

I am sure there are people like me out there that this review will help. I’ll try to keep it brief. I had a traumatic dental experience when I was 14 due to not being numb. After that, just thinking about going to a dentist made me cry. I’m now 26 and my teeth were bad enough that my desire to get them fixed trumped my phobia of dentists and their drills. I’ve spent the last 3 years reading reviews online looking for the Los Angeles dentist I would eventually go to when I worked up the courage or when the pain became too unbearable. Dr. Edalat stood out because he consistently received great review after great review. I figured he’s got to be pretty good it people are giving him 5 stars after he had drilled in their months. I finally bit the bullet and called for an appointment. To my shock, the woman on the phone said I could come in the same day. Mentally, I wasn’t prepared for that but I went anyway. 2 hours after calling to make the appointment, I was in the chair with Dr. Edalat getting a temporary crown. It didn’t hurt at all. I didn’t even feel it when he gave me a shot of Novocain. I was proud of myself for even going to a dentist but I was kinda kicking myself for putting it off for so long, and for being terrified of something that ended up being pleasant and over before I knew it. I was thinking about was I was going to have for dinner while he was drilling my tooth. Today I had a root canal done on my worst tooth. It didn’t hurt either. The only uncomfortable part was having to keep my mouth open the entire time. I’m almost in shock by how painless my experience at this dental office has been. This is the exact opposite of the experience I had when I was in. I’ve been worked on by all 3 doctors here, and they’re all great. I’ve already recommended this place to two of my coworkers and I’ll continue recommending him to anyone that hints they need some dental work. The price (in uninsured) is wayyy less than what I thought I would have to pay (which was also part of the reason I’ve been putting off getting my teeth fixed). I know the feeling of thinking your teeth are so bad the dentist will shame you when you finally to go to one. I know the feeling of being so afraid of the drills that you tense up anytime you hear a power tool. I know the feeling of having to keep floss picks in your purse so you can keep the holes in your teeth clear. I just love, love, LOVE this place and that’s something that I never thought I would say about a dentist. I’m leaving this review in hopes that someone like me will read it and pick up the phone to do the right thing for themselves. I know the struggle of not being able to chew on both sides of your mouth. I’ve spent 10 years chewing on one side and not by choice. I can relate to any of you that think your teeth are a disaster or those of you that are terribly afraid of dentists in general. I can relate because I was you 2 weeks ago. Now I’ve had a friggin root canal and I’m a few more appointments here away from having perfect teeth. I promise you, you have nothing to worry about at this dentist and you will be so happy when you leave here. There is a reason why Dr. Poria Edalat has so many 5-star reviews. Your only regret after coming here will be having not come sooner.
