Michael M. Belda, D.D.S.

I’m so lucky to have found dr belda, i have been putting off dental work simply because i did not trust the previous dentist. I have been going to dr belda for several years now, and he is wonderful. He makes you feel comfortable and takes the anxiety out of going to the dentist.

Totally unethical and unprofessional. My two daughters, ages 15 and 16 have pretty serious gum problems. Several times there have been issues getting timely appointments. Today was the worst experience ever. We were there for teeth cleanings. It had been 5 months due to not being able to get a timely appointment at the 3 month mark. They bring my younger daughter out after 5 minutes and state «she has swollen and red gums and its really bad». They weren’t going to clean her teeth however, because «she was only marked in for an orthodontist report». That’s like saying «sorry sir you’re having a heart attack but we can’t help you. Good luck with that!» After they realized they screwed up they agreed to «squeeze in» two appointments we were already there for in the first place. They were done in 20 minutes and both daughters feel they got a half assed cleaning. After 9 years of going to this place we deserve better than this.

Love Dr Belda and his office. Whole family and in laws come here. Honest, on time and never tries to up sell or cross sell. They do a great job

After being being told at another dentist office that I needed a $ 2,500 deep gum cleaning & that I had two cavities, I wanted a second opinion. I came here & they told me I had beautiful teeth & that I don’t even seem cavity prone. I’ve now been coming here for a little over two years, ever six months for a routine checkup. They have never tried to push any expensive treatment on me. They do a great job at cleaning my teeth! The best I’ve ever had. My dad, step-​mom & brother come here. We all love it. Honest dentists are hard to find. They make coming to the dentist not such a hard thing to do.

Hate hate hate going to the dentist. I went to this dentist for a second opinion and he was very nice and told me exactly what he wanted to do. So far so good I like him and will be back.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Belda for the past 5 years, and I’m very pleased with how he runs his practice. He has a nice, clean office and there are always appointment time open that fit into my schedule.
Dr. Belda himself is a very nice man. Every exam, he thoroughly checks your teeth and breaks down information for you about any complex procedures. He really spends a lot of time making sure his patients are in good health, which is rare to find in a dentist.
The assistant always does a great job cleaning my teeth. However, on occasion some of the staff can be rude. For example, I went to get my teeth cleaned this week and I told the receptionist I had changed my insurance plan when I walked in. I sat in the waiting room while she talked on the phone with her friend about how her baby daddy wouldn’t pay child support. 15 minutes after my appointment was supposed to start, she finally made me fill out all this paperwork for my new insurance. All in all, my appointment started about 30 minutes late. Luckily, I didn’t schedule anything else that afternoon so it didn’t disrupt my day, but it was annoying.
Other than that, there’s really nothing bad about the office. It’s a great place to go for both adults and kids.

An honest and decent medical professional.
I don’t know about the quality of «high end» procedures performed here. But Dr. Belda will be timidly honest about what he can or cant do, as long ask you ask.

I wish I started going to Dr Belda years ago. He and his office staff are top notch.

I never knew it could be this good.

If you like being treated like an idiot, then help yourself. Also, Dr. Belda is totally incompetent when it comes to working with children. His restoration work, i.e. crowns, leaves something to be desired (He replaced my porcelain crowns with porcelain-​over-​metal crowns without consulting me or giving me a choice. He said he considers the metal liner version a «superior restoration.» First, the metal liner shows now when I smile and second, the porcelain color was not matched to my existing teeth — it is much whiter than my real teeth. The result? I am in mid-​30s and my teeth now look like old lady teeth. Mismatched teeth and showing metal.
⁵⁄₂₀₁₄ UPDATE: The restoration work done by Dr. Belda (a crown) has failed, i.e. the porcelain separated from the metal.

This dude rocks in an emergency situation! He’s calm, thorough, gentle and caring. It is very obvious that the patient comes first for him. A true dental treasure, and USC trained, too! ‘Twould be foolish not to make him your «regular» dentist.

So far, so good!!! We just started seeing Dr. Belda this year and are very pleased with him, his work AND his honesty, which it seems is priceless in dentistry.
My husband had a crown put on one of his front teeth, which he had been putting off until we found a good dentist. Dr. Belda did a great job! He takes his job very seriously and has a great work ethic. My former dentist said I needed four crowns, Dr. Belda said I didn’t need any work done. Thank goodness some dentists still have integrity.
UPDATE (11/​12/​2012): I am continually impressed by Dr. Belda and so is my entire extended family. We all go to him now. He really is a genuinely nice man and a great dentist. I recently sent a coworker to him, who lives quite far from Dr. Belda’s office, but I assured him it was worth the drive. He went to Dr. Belda, agrees he is awesome, and will continue to make the trek to see him.

Always a pleasant experience with Dr. Belda and his staff. Highly recommended.
