I give a billion stars ⭐️ to Dr.Dharik and his staff here at UCLA! He is very caring, compassionate, patient, detailed, and made sure that I was comfortable and felt wonderful every step of the way. I used to hate coming to the dentist and by that I really honestly mean it. Before I would just go to the dentist one time per year and be happy LoL but not here! I know I need a lot of dental work done here and it this is a school for the students but , but I absolutely understand their dedication and commitment to excellence because I am also a student myself. From everyone to security in the parking lot to the security guard in the front to the dentist and his assistants and supervisor, they really are exceptional professional ms and are beyond fabulous in customer service and I know because I’ve been working with people all my life. UCLA will always be the BEST because they’re standards are extremely high and I absolutely love that I get this kind of stellar treatment beyond what I received in private practice offices. If you love to be waiting for hours and receive exceptional care and are patient and listen to instructions, then come here! You won’t be disappointed! Even the numbing things that are used are exceptional. I am the type of person who feels everything and doesn’t want to but Dr.Dharik makes sure I don’t feel a thing and I ABSOLUTELY HATE PAIN so im happy when he gives me what I need to not feel anything. Not even a small bit. I can’t wait to see how my teeth will look 6 months from now!!!!!! 😻😻😻😻😻😻

In May of 2015, I called the UCLA Dental Center in Venice, CA. to inquire if I might be eligible to become a patient as I needed partial dentures. I was desperate at this point, my self-esteem was suffering and I hated to smile! Thankfully my case was approved by Dr. Stewart and Dr. Dudley did all the work. I also had two fillings that needed to be done first and because of prior experience I was afraid. Dr. Dudley has a very smooth hand! I never felt a thing and was amazed he was so gentle. Luckily Dr. Dudley was able to complete my case before his graduation. I was so lucky to have him! My partials fit perfect and look great! I can now smile with confidence and just be myself. I so appreciate UCLA for their professionalism and personal care! As well as assigning me Dr. Dudley! Thank You!

I've been a patient at the UCLA Venice Dental Center for a number of years. Each year a new dentist takes over your case and this past year I've been lucky to be a patient of Dr. Dane Dudley. From the start, Dr. Dudley's easygoing nature and friendliness allowed me to discuss my concerns about the extensive dental work I needed done (sinus lift, implants, gum grafts). He is confident and skilled, and I never once worried about anything while under his care. I mean, if you read all the awful things that can happen from a sinus lift (exaggerations, mostly) you really have to trust the person who is performing oral surgery on you! One example of what I liked: Dr. Dudley is very good at checking in on you throughout your procedures. Some dentists seem to forget there's a patient behind the mouth they're working on, but not him. He wants you to be comfortable and feel safe. After the procedure, he'll follow up with you to make sure you're doing well. Ultimately, I'm very happy with the progress Dr. Dudley made on all that dental work I had been putting off. Truly, I would be happy if I could keep Dr. Dudley as my dentist.If it weren't for the horrible traffic I'd make the trek out to Thousand Oaks to keep seeing him.

Visited the dental clinic for consultation to replace my missing teeth. Dr. Dane Dudley was assigned to me and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Dr. Dudley completely treated me with the utmost care and professionalism anyone could ask for. Everything was laid out for me to decide before any treatment was performed. The end result is I am completely satisfied with the removal and replacement of my teeth. Excellent atmosphere adds to the personal and meticulous care Dr. Dudley performs. The expense was far less than I thought it would be for a whole new set of upper dentures and a large lower partial. I am pain free and look like a new man. I would highly recommend this clinic especially Dr. Dudley for all your dental needs.
