Alex B Avanessian, DDS

I was extremely happy with the treatment my parents received with Dr. Alex Avanessian as well as his friendly and efficient staff. They are extremely professional and come very highly recommended. My parents had implants placed and some periodontal surgery as well. Everything went very well and they couldn’t have been happier. I will always refer/​go to Dr. Avanessian without any hesitation! I wish more practices were as professional, honest and experienced as this practice.

I’ve been to several dentists in my time, both general and speciality… non have the experience, knowledge and delightful attitude as Dr. Avanessians! Hands down best dental experience I’ve had, and it was a tooth extraction! The Doctor and his staff go out of their way to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure — this was a BIG PLUS for me. Having relatively major work done on my teeth, while the staff gives priority to my comfort and convenience made the entire process pleasant. Bottom line, if you’re in need of a Perio/​Implant specialist (which at some point in life we all do), give Dr. Avanessians a call.

I was suggested by my dentist next door to have a consultation with Alex about the health of my gums. My experience for the consultation was great. He is very kind, the office is tidy, and it has fairly modern equipment. On the other hand, I have nothing good to say about their business and billing practice.
Apparently I had been given $ 270 worth of service for 10m of talking and 10m of measuring the pockets in my gums. I didn’t know about this until I received the bill. I find it odd that this 10m gum measurement procedure is performed at every cleaning in addition to all the other procedures (flossing, laser cleaning, polishing, etc), yet a dental cleaning costs only a fraction of what Alex’s office is charging for the above mentioned ‘service’. Furthermore, this gum measurement procedure is given to me gratis at nearly every one of my visits to my orthodontist. So what am I paying for and why is it so much more expensive at this office? I plan to bring that up with the insurance company and ADA so they can look into this matter as well.
I called Alex’s office to explain that I never intended to have any service done and only expected a consultation. I was corrected and told that I received service and hence am being billed for such. I’m pretty sure this violates CA civil code (see: sec 1170, subdiv (a), paragraphs 5, 14, and 17). I also requested a copy of my records as per HIPPA law. I am still waiting for those records and their email address so I can further this dispute. I will be sure to update this review at a later date.
Here’s to a health care system where all costs are up front and service providers are not out to scam the insurance companies (and in the long run, us too).

Highly recommend!
I was traumatized as a child at a dental office. Many local anesthetics don’t work on myself and my siblings. Therefore, I am always a little fearful of dental work.
No one wants to hear that their tooth is DYING. But given softball trauma I knew the day would come that I would need to get an implant one day. I never imagined ‘that day’ would arrive so quickly… with my «Hopelessly Failing Tooth #7.»
Dr. Alex Avanessian came HIGHLY recommended and I can see why. An experience that I dreaded soon became incredibly calming and «fun.» Yes I said fun!
Dr. Alex Avanessian an his team are delightful. They calmed every fear I had. Dr. Avanessian is incredibly knowledgable and I knew I was in good hands when I could see the passion he had for his profession and for helping others.
I had an absolutely painless procedure done to remove the tooth. I’m please with the way things are healing and I never thought I would say this but I have NO FEAR about coming back in 3 months to have my implant placed!
You couldn’t be in better hands!
