Downtown Dental

They were able to schedule me for an appointment right away, which I really appreciated. Pria the dental assistant was very warm and welcoming. The Dentist was rather impersonal - I prefer someone more engaging. I went here because I wanted 2 fillings done since my normal dentist is on an extended vacation. My regular dentist quoted me $110 after insurance for the fillings. Downtown Dental refused to do my back filling without a crown, and quoted me around $1,400 after insurance. They did do a panoramic X-ray and found an additional cavity my normal dentist didn't find (I'm eager to get his second opinion). It seems like they offer top of the line care, but it's definitely not practical for all.

Like everyone, the dentist isn’t always the best experience. But this group of people have been nothing short of professional, kind and empathetic. Location is everything to me as well and so happy they’re back downtown. If I could give them 10 stars I would! Priyam is the best!!!!

I was a patient here from 2019 to 2021 before I moved out of LA. Most of the cleaning visits were fine. However, anyone who goes here should be aware that they may try to force Invisalign on you. My previous dentist in a different state offered Invisalign, but they never mentioned it to me. In fact, they often mentioned that my teeth were in good shape in terms of alignment. However, on my first visit to Downtown Dental in LA, I had x-rays taken, and upon inspection, the dentist told me that I needed Invisalign due to the poor alignment in my back teeth. I was a student at the time and didn't have a steady enough income stream to consider it, so I told them that I would hold off. Next time I go in, they tell me that they "found a discount" on Invisalign, even though they knew that I was still a student and still didn't have the income stream to afford it. On a later visit, I had a different dentist, who proceeded to provide me with a completely different reason for needing Invisalign, wholly unrelated to the reason the initial dentist provided. So, it seemed that they were ultimately trying to pull a fast one on me as a patient because, I assume, they have a financial incentive to sign up as many patients as possible for Invisalign. This was ultimately confirmed after I moved and made my first visit to a dentist in my new location. I asked them whether Invisalign was necessary, and she and the hygienist both said that there was absolutely no need and were shocked that anyone would suggest it in the first place. So, if you are going to go to Downtown Dental, beware that they might use coercive settings and tactics to force Invisalign on you. If they do, strongly consider getting a second opinion.

I'm in Invisalign had 4 crowns and 4 root canals done, no pain and quick and easy! My teeth have never been so white, my mouth feels so fresh, my gums don't bleed and I stopped clenching and grinding. Great office, fun staff, good music, they pay for parking and they really take good care of their patients !
