Beverly West Dental Group

DO NOT. DO NOT, DO NOT GO HERE.
Unfortunately, I have to give this dental office the worst review I can muster, but I’ll tell you exactly why so you’ll understand.
My only positive experience was with the receptionist, Diana, who is quite nice.
However, once I was escorted back for my ROUTINE CLEANING (keep this in mind,) this is what I received instead:
— Immediate ushering into the X-​ray room, where they took *16* (no exaggeration) X-​rays of my mouth and one full panoramic (which you only really want taken for orthodontics.) (Background for the uninitiated, since I grew up next door to a dentist: usually you don’t want more than a few X-​rays taken at a time so you don’t get too much exposure.) I told the radiologist that I was uncomfortable with the situation, that I didn’t want the X-​rays done and was going to explain that I could have my previous dentist send some X-​rays, but he pressed on. I could literally see down into the barrel on some angles — you … don’t want that. When I called my dental insurance provider later about this situation, she noted that she’d been working there for 11 years and she’d NEVER seen that many X-​rays taken at the same time. «I’m surprised when you left that you weren’t glowing (from exposure.)»
— Ushering into a «consultation» room which was really just the Hard Sell Room. I was placed into an examining chair where I was asked to wait for my dentist for 5 – 10 minutes. However, right above the chair was a GIANT TV screen that had the panoramic X-​ray up there. I was staring at an X-​ray of my entire lower half of my skull.
I was looking at my own fucking skull, like Hamlet looking at Yorick. For 10 minutes.
— The hard selling began. After poking around for about 5 minutes (and barely apologizing for the X-​ray on the screen before PUTTING IT RIGHT BACK UP THERE AND NOT EVEN REFERRING TO IT, Dr. P and his consultant recommended the following:
— Bone graft & implant for a missing tooth ($ 1500, not covered by insurance)
— Extraction of a wisdom tooth, $ 400 (80% covered by insurance)
— Veneers for my upper teeth (MY TEETH ARE FINE. Literally. I’ve gone in for «perfect teeth» auditions and gotten callbacks.)
— Braces for lower teeth (to make room for the bone graft/​implant, which would be in there for a year and make maybe 2 mm more room. I checked.)
Mind you, I was in there JUST FOR A ROUTINE CLEANING.
Most used car salesmen would have told this place to slow down! Holy high-​pressure sales, Batman. You know you’ve gotten impressively squeezed when even the insurance company says that that’s fucked up.
The cleaning itself wasn’t that great, either, honestly. I don’t even have very sensitive teeth/​gums but there could have been better handling (which I asked for throughout.) Oh, and in the middle of the cleaning they left to get the head honcho dentist to poke around to look at the implant site and AGAIN pressured me to get the implant. After I said no. While I was in the middle of the only thing I came there to get done.
Look. I’m not normally a squeaky wheel, but this was absurd, and I don’t want someone else to get shilled if they can avoid it. But if this experience motivated me enough to make a review JUST so I could write a warning for people — take heed.

I have a dentist but it’s all the way in LAX so I saw the add for 999.00 for a dental implant. The Asian lady had a horrible attitude and the guy who looked at my X ray immediately said that I needed bone (which I had done added at my dentist that costed me 100 dollars) and this is to get 500.00 dollars more and he made me feel like I had the worst smile (which I don’t because my teeth are not rattan,) the consulting fee is 40 dollars. So the 999.00 is to lure you in and defraud you with some more stuff you don’t need. They took a copy of my driver’s license and took a picture of me? What for? The worst experience I’ve even had. Stay away from this crooks.

Love this place ! Got my root canal here and it was a painless procedure. The facility is extremely well cleaned and my dentist (mr.cho) was simply amazing! Usually seen around 10 minutes within my appointment time.

I got a wisdom tooth pulled out the same day as my initial visit, and it was such a great experience. I only had part of my mouth numbed and i felt absolutely nothing even after the numbness wore off. I couldn’t believe there was no pain and never had an infection. Also, I didn’t have insurance and the price was really affordable. Thank you so much!

My appointment was scheduled for 10am. The entire clinic was CLOSED when I got there at 10am. The receptionist came shortly after and unlocked the gates, saying that she was not late, she had two kids, etc, as if she was not at fault… If the entire clinic cannot be ready for patients by 10am, they should not allow patients to book appointments at 10am! I ended up canceling my appointment on the spot so I cannot comment on the quality of the dentist himself. Just to make things worse, the receptionist did not even apologize at all. She just went about turning on the lights and AC of the clinic.
