Crystal Dental

I just made an appointment and the earliest one was for 1 month from now! Pretty disappointing especially it it would have been my first time. Maybe it will not be at all as I will very likely look for another dentist.

Very satisfied. Came in with emergency and came out with an extracted bad wisdom tooth. Thank you again for seeing me so fast and so nice and pretty ladies. :)

3.5 stars !!! I must say that DR. Alex is a great dentist however the wait times are ridiculous expect a 1.5 to 2 hour wait on each appointment. I will not be going back unfortunately if they only fixed they’re scheduling to where patients don’t wait that long…, yes less patients but more returning patients. And it would be a 5 star operation.

This place is garbage! I went to this dentist for years. The equipment is old and staff not very friendly. They failed to tell me about a gum problem that is now a serious issue.
The new dentist I went to was so friendly and took his time to explains everything to me. The technology was do much better. I wish I would have known…

The staff is ok; the office a bit chaotic and can often appear aloof when stressed. They text and call to remind you of your appt. but will neglect to tell you they no longer take medical until you arrive and they tell you its $ 145 for general teeth cleaning. The dentist is pleasant and competent.

My biggest issue with this dental office is the front office. They have cancelled appointments with me and when I call to make an appointment they will blame me for some of their own cancellations. Not cool. I have had to cancel but they seem to have more on my record. Someone is not documenting when I’ve called to actually cancel. Also, they’ve made me come in before only to tell me there was an issue with insurance conflict. Aren’t they suppose to call before you drive almost an hour to get there. !?! I’m a slightly frustrated with the front desk at the moment. But I still like my dentist! Which is why I go back.

Best dentist in LA! Dr Moradzadeh is experienced, knowledgable, pain free, affordable and also efficient. He makes me look forward to my bi annual cleanings and when he finds a cavity no fears at all. Fellow Unilocalers don’t look any further for a dentist Because Here he is. Also a shout out to the amazing front and back staff :)

So I actually rarely leave reviews for anyone (I know that’s bad) but I religiously use Unilocal literally before I make any move. So point is I love Unilocal and understand its value when it comes to finding a great business.
I love Crystal Dental. Dr. Alex and his entire staff are really amazing. My whole family, all of my close friends, and myself included all go to him for all of our dental needs. The ladies in the front are always smiling, they are super friendly, and have always made me feel more than welcomed. Dr. Alex himself is fantastic. I seriously don’t trust my teeth with anyone else and I am always recommending him to anyone that asks for a good dentist. About 3 – 4 years ago, I extracted all 4 of my wisdom teeth. I was obviously horrified by the terror stories I kept hearing from everyone else about extracting wisdom teeth. So imagine my surprise when I went in to extract the first 2 (since they needed surgical removal which was done by another doctor that does surgeries, who was just as amazing as Dr. Alex) and it literally was completely painless and both teeth took less than 2 minutes to be done! Then went in a few days later and Dr. Alex extracted the other 2, which… wait for it… was also painless and super quick. Ughhh I don’t know if many people get excited about their dentists, but I actually do. It’s so hard to find a good dentist as an adult, one that actually cares, is diligent, thorough, nice, friendly, and does a great job; but Dr. Alex and his team are really all of those things and more. I’m very happy to have him as my dentist and I will continue recommending him to anyone that asks. Hope this review helps someone that wants an actual good dentist.
P. S. I was there again today for my regular check-​up and cleaning, which could explain why I’m soooo excited!

I was referred to Crystal Dental by a friend of mine. I called them and made an appointment. They were able to accommodate the time I needed to be there. the staff were very nice and patient. I went in on my appointment date and time.
I was really impressed by Dr. Alex. I had to have a root canal done. He took xrays and confirmed that I needed it, Explained the procedure to me without rushing me.
procedure was done by him and his assistant in matter of 30 minutes. as pain free as possible. I went in for a follow up a week later and everything is great.
No More toothache. Hooray…
I highly recommend this place.
Thank you Crystal Dental, specially Dr. Alex.

This is actually my first review on Unilocal,and I’m doing it because I’m very pleased with the results. I’d chipped my front tooth, and Dr Alex fixed it beautifully. I am very picky on details. he’s like a sculptor.

Wow was this doctor amazing!!! I’m a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills and was recommended to dr Moradzadeh by a friend. He’s not even in my area but was so highly recommended I went to downtown to see him. Michael and the whole office staff were super friendly and just incredible at what they do. I had a cleaning which was the best I’ve ever had. Better tools than they dentists and not a spot of blood or an ounce of pain. Dr Moradzadeh then sculpted a chipped molar for me and replaced a filling without any pain at all. I’m truly impressed by his skill and that of the entire office. I don’t mind driving in traffic for true talent and still hands. I’m very appreciative.

Ok Follow up. I go to another dentist and I have no cavities. This place is a rip off scam with unprofessional staff. THey said I have 15 cavities and wanted to charge me over $ 2000 to do them all. They tried to set met up for a 3 months plan to do them all so I could suffer in their waiting room for all eternity ! HORRIBLE!

Alma and Leah both are great girls… Very helpful and tends to put up with all my complaints if I have any and or all my questions they answer… I would have given them 1 star due to one of their children oral surgeons messing up on my daughters teeth and blaming it on how her teeth were positioned… But again he is just someone who only comes to the office to work and I’m not rating him although let me find out where he actually works and I’ll definitely rate him no stars… Can’t even remember his name… But anyway besides that crystal dental I say is a decent office… Staff is always new except for the two girls and their office manager which isn’t that friendly but good thing is you really don’t come in contact with her… The dentist there is nice as for his work my kids say he’s not rough with them… The office is not kid friendly anymore… They use to show cartoons on the TV & now it’s on the news or TMZ or something I don’t care for my kids to watch. Also they use to have coloring books and crayons and now they don’t have that… So being one of my children kinda being a busy body she is now all over the place because there is nothing for her to do… If I would have known that I would have had her bring something to do… Also they went paper less which is great but the little computer pad they have is not for people who wear glasses… Of course I forgot mine… Didn’t think I had to use a magnifying glass to see the print… Anyway besides all this I gave them a 3 star… Alma and Leah is what makes the office a great place… All though my kids and I drive them crazy they still tend to make us feel welcomed… Thank you girls and keep up the good job!

This place is a joke! The dentist wouldn’t except the x-​rays from my dentist that were taken 6months ago, wasted my time doing more x-​rays and wanted me to come back for my cleaning. I was told I have 10 cavities and they would not do the cleaning unless I paid for the fillings first. There is no way on God’s green earth that I have 10 cavities, my teeth were fine 6months ago, I have only had 2 fillings ever in my life and that was over 10yrs ago!

I got my wisdom tooth extracted here today and Everything went smoothly. My whole experience at Crystal Dental was exceptional. All three women manning the front desk/​waiting area were awesome. I was scheduled for a two o’clock appt. and was told to expect a wait time of 1 + hours. I was prepared for the long wait when i arrived at 1:54, but after 15 min and signing some papers i was in the chair! Dr. Babak (i hope thats his name. Idk) was super chill. His assistant, a tall blonde woman, was awesome as well! There was little pain during the procedure. was out before 3pm. Great experience.

Where do I even begin. First off, I absolutely hate going to the dentist, BUT with Dr. Moradzadeh it was a completely different experience. His staff was attentive, fast, easy to speak with, and overall pleasant to be around. The office is so clean and spacious. Dr. Moradzadeh himself was excellent! He didn’t dilly dally like my past dentists, very quick and to the point, and I have to add PAINLESS (and that’s with 8 fillings)!!! I’m now looking forward to my 6 month check up. I tell everyone to go to him, he truly is awesome! I have finally found my dream dentist and sticking to him! Thanks Doc!!!

Mediocre on the surface, a quiet disaster lurking.
I was never impressed with Crystal Dental, but not necessarily «one-​star unimpressed» either. A co-​worker of mine went there and seemed to like it well enough, so I gave the place a try. Although my initial experience was mediocre, inertia took control; I stayed with them for years because I didn’t want to track down a new dentist and go through the whole first visit routine again. Unfortunately, I have now discovered that opting for a new dentist early on would have been well worth the switching costs. Crystal Dental really is less than mediocre, it’s a one-​star disaster.
When my new job relocated my daytime hours from downtown Los Angeles to Pasadena, it made sense to track down a new dentist. Unfortunately my new dentist’s initial exam revealed that Dr. Alex from Crystal Dental improperly placed a crown I needed for a root canal. The base of the crown doesn’t fit flush with my molar stub and, as a result, gunk became lodged in the gap and couldn’t be removed with flossing, brushing, or mouthwash. Now my molar is deteriorating, so the crown needs to be removed, the deterioration addressed, and a new crown placed.
This bad news was surprising since I went to Crystal Dental every six months over about a three year period. Dr. Alex placed the crown a few months after my first visit. And yet, between the follow up visits that were intended specifically to assess placement of the crown and the four or five regular check up visits in the years that followed, he never pointed out the improperly placed crown. Now, you tell me, did he really fail to notice what my new dentist spotted immediately? Or did he notice – and simply ignore – his shoddy work since he would have to admit fault, and possibly re-​do the job on his own dime? Well, congratulations, Dr. Alex, you don’t have to face up to it. Since I won’t ever be visiting Crystal Dental again, my insurance company and I will be spending the thousand plus dollars for the new crown and clean up work.
Disasters aside, expect a mediocre to lousy experience at Crystal Dental. The place has a dirty waiting area that wouldn’t be all that bothersome but for the dreadfully prolonged wait. I try to make a point of scheduling my health visits early in the day so that schedules haven’t become jumbled by some emergency that throws everything off. This effort made no difference at Crystal Dental, even when I had the first slot. I was consistently stuck in the waiting area for half an hour to forty five minutes. Then I would get the royal «please come back and sit in one of our dental chairs» where I would wait another twenty minutes or so before anyone showed up to start poking around my mouth.
I’m guessing Crystal Dental is better than nothing at all. But if you have options, consider them.

DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTAL OFFICE!!!
They’re nice, they’re cheap, they WILL SCREW YOUR MOUTH UP!!!
I initially gave this place 5 stars because I was so pleased with my cleaning UNTIL I had my fillings done.
If you are someone that wants to find a dental office ONLY to get a teeth cleaning at a good price, then this dental office will be fine for you. If you plan on getting any kind of extensive work done, fillings, extractions, root canals, etc…
DO NOT GO TO THIS OFFICE!!!
To put a long story short, I went for a regular cleaning using a coupon that I found on a website (already this sounds bad). Anyway, the cleaning was fine. Dr. Alex had my teeth looking very nice when done. He discovered that I needed 9 different fillings in various places, so I scheduled two visits and had them done. After the fillings and ever since then, EVEN NOW, my teeth are so sensitive that it is terrible. My teeth are super sensitive to any type of temperature change. Even drinking room temperature water sends shocks to my nerves. I went back to Dr. Alex about 8 different times after having my fillings done, for him to check on them, and every time he kept telling me to be patient. He said that in time all the sensitivity would go away, and that my teeth looked fine in the xrays… Well, that was five months ago and I am still feeling this extreme sensitivity, as well as shocks when I floss between the teeth he filles, AND major shocks whenever I chew on food and it goes between the teeth that he filled, which basically means that I am feeling shocks all the time when drinking and eating. This sucks! So much that I have now decided to get a second opinion from another dentist. I want to have the fillings that Dr. Alex did re-​done by another dentist that knows what they are doing.
Crystal Dental is very cheap, I was very happy when I found out what the 9 fillings cost, because it was almost half the price that other offices charge… Well, you get what you pay for. I paid a cheap price, and got crappy work done.
Oh and they will tell you that you are not being charged anything BUT they will charge your insurance. Very sneaky! So be careful, because they think you won’t notice because they are not sending YOU a bill, but trust me, the amount is still affecting you because it comes out of your yearly allowed maximum. So be very careful, and ask very specific questions when dealing with them.
Now I will have to pay again to have it done again. but atleast I will be able to eat!

They’re ok but not good. I had been waiting to go in for about 40 minutes, then one of his friends just walks in, 10 minutes later they call me in and I see his friend already on the chair getting work done, then 10 minutes later his friend is walking out. Not professional. He keeps his patients waiting but his friends walk right in. I’m reffering to Dr. Alexander S. Moradzadeh in this review.

Needed an emergency dentist one day when I was at work in downtown and went here. My tooth was in some serious pain. I barely waited, the staff there is very nice and greindly. The doctor was fantastic… what ever he did stopped the pain… and now I go in always for my normal cleanings.
