La Smiles Endodontics

I agree with Jon S. I should just copy and paste the other reviews. Dr. Kristina Shagramanova is one of the BEST dentists I have ever had the pleasure of working on my teeth; and I have had quite a lot of dental work done. I have also had quite a few root canals. NO ONE COMPARES TO HER INCREDIBLE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE!
She’s very professional, attentive, calm and uses the best equipment. I just came back after being in her chair for almost 1.5 hours. While I can’t say that getting Lidocaine shots is a pleasant experience, she did everything she could, AND THEN SOME, to make sure that I was comfortable and not in any pain. She explained everything that she was doing so that I wouldn’t be startled. I can keep going on and on, but I think that you get the general idea.
If you need a root canal, I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. Dr. Shagramanova has offices in Glendale and Santa Clarita.

Dr. Shagramanova was calm, efficient and highly professional. She clearly knows her stuff, her office is well-​organized and they were ready for me when I showed up for my appointment and the root canal procedure was smoothly and quickly done.

Seriously. Dr. Kristina is amazing and makes a root canal as pleasant as it could possibly be. She is kind, thorough, patient, efficient, and her staff is great and the office is spotless. It’s pricier than getting a root canal at my regular dentist’s office, but so worth it. I went to the Santa Clarita location. Hooray for an easy root canal!

Dr. Kristina was the sweetest lady, even while drilling my teeth out! She did such a wonderful job making me comfortable that during both appointments, I fell asleep in the operating chair while she took a drill to my face. Pretty amazing skill to get someone that calm while a live power tool is shoved inside their mouth!

L.A. Smiles Endodontics was by far the best experience with a dentist I have ever had. I cannot say enough good things about this dental practice. I was referred to Dr. Kristina Shagramanova by my primary dentist for a complicated procedure. As soon as I walked into the office, I immediately felt at ease. Dr. Kristina and her staff are welcoming, considerate and made my experience pleasant. Dr. Kristina is simply the best! She empowers you with the highest quality of Dental care in a friendly environment. Dr. Kristina has a perfect balance of skill/​knowledge and human qualities. She is smart, kind, patient and professional. It is no surprise that she is highly respected by patients and doctors alike. I would recommend her without hesitation.

I have been to a couple endodontists before, but I have never been as impressed with the results as I am with Dr. Shagramanova. She’s a tested veteran with incredible experience. This is exhibited by her ability to really manage pain. People usually go to an Endodontist when they are in a lot of pain and need specialized attention in a rather expedient manner. She handles these tenuous situations with ease and honestly cares about your comfort and pain management. I had the most horrific tooth infection I’ve ever experienced in my life, and I was referred to her by my trusted dentist. I was hoping for the best and that’s exactly what I got. From her extremely astute and sweet receptionist, to her phenomenal dental assistants, Dr. Shagramanova runs a tight ship that leaves no stone unturned. I was already impressed with her for how quickly, painlessly and carefully she managed my tooth infection, but then at 6:40 pm that same day, I get a call on my cell phone from her to check up on how I’m feeling. I have no idea how she finds the time to run her own business and get to work early at 8 am just to accommodate me, then has the heart to call me after 6 pm on the same day just to check in to make sure her work was done right. I am blown away and will be recommending her to everyone I know.

I got referred here by my primary dentist and I’m very happy. Dr. Christine Chung did my first and hopefully last root canal. She did an amazing job. She explained everything that she was doing one step at a time and always made sure I was okay the whole way through. The whole staff was so nice and helpful and answered any questions that I had. I would definitely refer other people here.

Dr Kristina is the best!!! Her priority is patient care and patient education. She took her time and explained my condition thoroughly. She has a great beside manner. Her assistant Tina is a perfect compliment to this practice. She is very comforting which makes a doctors visit that much comfortable.
Thank dr Kristina for everything!

I should just cut-​n-​paste every other review I’ve read about this place! (18 reviews at the time of this writing.) THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!
I had a swelling on my gum and my current General Dentist told me I needed a root canal re-​treatment. She referred me to Dr. Kristina. My first point of contact here was with Tina who answered the phone. She was so pleasant on the phone and got me scheduled to see Dr. Kristina right away. She even went out of her way to track down the insurance paperwork which hadn’t been sent over properly. Before the call ended, she took the time to make sure I knew where they were, where the parking lot was, and if I had any questions. I told her «No, I’m a guy. I know where everything is.» So naturally, I got lost trying to get into the building. (In my defense, the office is on the second floor and all the businesses on the first floor were still closed as this was an early morning appointment. Is it really MY fault that I didn’t read the sign on the door that read: «STAIRS»??) After getting into the office I finally met Tina and she was super sweet. (with really great hair!) She got me through all the «new patient» paperwork in record time and got me into the chair. The room was SPOTLESSLY clean, and to boot, all the surfaces were covered with fresh clean replaceable sanitary sheets! Even the chair! The X-​Ray tech Diana came in to take the pics and had the latest in modern technology. No more gigantic plastic cards that are jammed into your mouth scraping and cutting up the roof of your mouth and gums! They have this small sensor that fits easily into place and a soft foam bit that you hold between your teeth to keep it in place. And dig this!!! They can take multiple pics from different angles without having to reposition the sensor, AND the images show up instantly on a HD monitor right in the room! (Sorry… I just geeked out a little bit.) After looking at the X-Ray’s, Dr. Kristina came in and discussed with me what they told her and suggested a course of treatment as well as what to expect down the line. It was exactly along the lines of what I was expecting with NO surprises! (I’ve had several root canals in the past) She got right to work, hitting me dead on the nerve and numbing me up in no time! (I’ve had occasions in the past with other «professionals» who have missed the mark and after three shots I could STILL feel it.) Dr. Kristina made sure I was comfortable, and started working. I turned up my iPod and zoned out for the while. It was a long procedure and several times she checked to make sure I was doing O.K. After a few tunes we were done for that visit and I was off to Target for my antibiotics! Two weeks later I was back for the wrap up (I found the office NP this time!) and I was fixed! Dr. Kristina was straightforward and informative about everything that was going on. She was openly honest about what I would experience and what I should expect. Her «chair side manner» is impeccable and gave me a wonderful feeling of safety and she far exceeded my expectations. Thank you Dr. Kristina. I only wish you handled General Dentistry as well. I’d never go anywhere else!

I was referred here by my primary dentist for a root canal. They were able to squeeze me in asap as I was in pain and couldn’t chew or drink on the left side of my mouth. The staff was very friendly and professional. Dr Kris was awesome. She was so informative and took the time to explain all the steps along the way. I hope I never need another root canal but if I do, I will be back.
As a side note, I went to her Valencia office.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Kristina. First time she did a root canal re-​treatment. The tooth had an incomplete root canal done 30 years ago. it became infected and my face was swollen. Dr. Kristina did such great job and my tooth is as good as new. Second time she did a root canal on a different molar. I did not feel any pain at all and my fear of doing a root canal is gone! I highly recommend her. Dr. Kristina is very knowledgeable, personable, and she has good energy.

I recommend Kristina to everyone who needs root canal treatment. She is knowledgeable, caring, attentive and thorough. Her staff is very helpful, especially the receptionist Tina. Plus they are open on Saturday.

Hi everyone my name is Erik Abramyan. I had to get a root canal treatment in LA Smile. I got recommended from my dentist his name is Dr. Rob. Arrival to LA Smile in Glendale CA. The staff is very friendly carrying professional. The office is very clean and organized. Getting a root canal done with Dr. KRISTNA SHAGRAMANOVA was a nice experience. She has very soft hands and she’s very Professional. I definitely Recommend everyone to be her patient. Her prices is decent she won’t charge you Arma and a leg I could guarantee you that. Thanks.

I found this dental clinic mainly through the internet and reading through the reviews and I’m so thankful I happened to click on Dr. Kristina’s page. My whole experience was all worth it from the receptionist, Tina, who’s very welcoming and very helpful when I made my appointment and my payment option upto the actual treatment done by Dr. Kristina. She explained my case clearly by showing to me what’s going on and what’s needed to be done. She’s very knowledgeable, on point but very gentle at the same time. My root canal procedure went very smooth. Thank you so much La Smiles Dentistry staff! Keep up the good work. God bless you!

Five stars overall experience! Dr Kristina is the most knowledgable, thorough, and professional dentist I have ever been to. Her boutique style practice offers a comfortable setting with high quality service and a friendly & personable staff. They also offer payment plans for cash patients and their flexible hours –including Saturdays– are a plus!!!

This was my first root canal with Dr. Kristina, my third overall and she was by far the most thorough, caring and professional. Kristina is very personable with her clients. She will treat you like a friend and not a patient. Don’t let her kindness fool you though; she is also very smart and accomplished. The office environment is calming and relaxing for those who may be anxious about dental work. I highly recommend LA Smiles Endodontics and Dr. Kristina.

The staff here is very helpful and nice. Dr. Shagramanova is extremely knowledgeable in her work and did an awesome job on my teeth. Highly recommended!

Dr Kristina was very helpful in explaining the procedure and answering any questions I had regarding healing and care of the teeth needing work. Very polite and gentle office staff and a very nice office.

I didn’t know what to expect when it came to having a root canal done. Dr. Shagramanova is very caring and extremely detailed when it comes to explaining everything there is to know about the treatment of a root canal. Her office staff was very kind and caring making me feel at ease, and before I knew it she was done with my treatment. I got a call from Dr. Shagramanova later that afternoon asking me how I was doing, I felt very flattered by her taking time out of her busy schedule just to see how I was doing. I feel very lucky to have had my treatment done with such a great caring person like Dr. Shagramanova.

Was terrified of root canals! This was the best dentist visit ever! Dr Kristina took her time to explain everything so I could understand the procedure and not have any doubts in mind. Very professional staff and gorgeous office. Hopefully I won’t be needing root canals in the future but if I or any of my loved one would need one, LA Smiles would be my one and only choice!
