Hana Dental

I went to Hana Dental to complete a crown on a recently root canal-​ed tooth. The other dentist wanted $ 2000 for a crown! Hilarious. I found Hana Dental online and made an appointment. Glad I did. Dr. Yoo is super patient and vigilant about your comfort level. Absolutely NO PAIN (not even any pain from the poke of the Novocain needle). He performed the dental work quickly and effectively. The cost of the crown was even cheaper then his receptionist quoted (he gave me a deal– a quarter of what the other dentist wanted) and the crown it’s self is better then the one the other dentist wanted to charge me $ 2000 for, both in strength and appeal. I was so impressed that I decided to have him do work on the rest of my teeth (at a huge discount again). This guy is my dentist for life. Go there. You will be happy you did.

I simply cannot rave highly enough for these guys. From the receptionists to the hygienists, to Dr. Yoo, everyone is warm and friendly, helpful, caring, professional, and affordable. I don’t have dental insurance, and as someone who fears the dentist anyway, I was scared I’d be forever doomed to horror stories of maltreatment and misconduct in my mouth. How wrong I was. How LUCKY I was to stumble into Hana Dental for a raging root canal a few years ago. Since then, and a couple more root canals later, I am so grateful to Dr. Yoo and his team for all the care they have given me, always going above and beyond what is expected. I am no longer scared of going to the dentist, either for the pain in my mouth or my purse. If you are looking for a dentist, RUN don’t walk to Hana Dental.

OH my! So much to say. We live in Pasadena and usually visit the locals for our needs. This time the Mr. needed a root canal and we do not have insurance. We called around, asked around and the $ were insane. However, dental care is not really an area where you want to penny pinch, especially a root canal… right?
The search continued and we learned about Hana Dental here on Unilocal.Thank-​you UnilocalERS love you!
DR. YOO is your man. Do not be afraid of his services or prices. He is a true professional and his prices are so fair! WE ARE DEFINITELY GOING BACK TO THIS OFFICE.
ROOT CANAL NEEDED? Dr. Yoo is your man. Make the drive if you are far away, it is worth it. He also has Saturday appointments.
Thank-​you Dr. Yoo

I really can’t recommend this dental practice highly enough.
The quality of care is fantastic. Really, really fantastic. The equipment is state of the art. Everyone on staff is highly skilled and very courteous. Dr. Yoo is amazingly highly skilled, and he is kind, patient, and considerate to everyone.
The fees are very reasonable. Actually, they are a great deal, considering the level of care.
I used to go to a place in Westwood that was on my old Cigna dental HMO. I suspect that they were upselling me on many unnecessary treatments. I spend a lot less paying out-​of-​pocket as an uninsured patient with Hana Dental than I did with my old dentist even if I don’t include the Cigna HMO insurance premiums. In addition, my previous dentist’s level of care was not very good. For example, when my previous dentist filled a tooth, the repaired tooth felt awkward, there was some pain for a few weeks, and it eventually began to fall apart. When Dr. Yoo removed the old filling and repaired the tooth, even though it was an extensive repair, the tooth felt better than ever.

I’ve wanted braces ever since I was in middle school. That must sound weird, who the heck EVER wants braces? But I did for as long as I can remember. My teeth weren’t crooked enough to warrant them in my moms eyes, and when she pays the bills, you go along with it.
I admit, I did lag it for some time after college. I could’ve gotten braces several years ago but of course I held it off until a year before my wedding to finally get serious about straight teeth. All because of a panic attack during a daydream. I just knew the photographer would catch me at my worst angles where my snaggletooth would be at its most prominent. Now unless that photographer is a photoshop magician, I would then have to stow those photos away in an attic for years and years and years never to see the light of day. So I asked my bf to take me to his dentist.
I always wanted the clear braces over metal but never realized there weren’t many locations that offer it. Dr. Yoo was amazing during the consult. He wasn’t pushy like a salesman (not that I needed a push cuz I was dead set on getting it) the prices were fair and he’s very warm and approachable. The receptionist girl talks in a whisper so it’s a bit hard to understand but everyone is super nice. They validate for the parking, and i’m usually in and out within 15 minutes. Definitely recommend!

good

I am Officially NOT afraid of the Dentist anymore! My biggest fear for years was going to the dentist. I literally kicked a dentist once in the face when I was a kid, and got banned from there forever.
Dr. Jason Yoo… is INCREDIBLE! I got my wisdom teeth pulled out by him. I was sooooo nervous and scared, but he was so informative and really made me feel at ease. He even let me just pull out 1 wisdom tooth that day to ensure me that there wouldnt be any pain. And let me tell you… there wasnt! His technique is incredible! I didnt even feel the Needle go in when he numbed me. By the time he pulled out the tooth (which I didnt feel him do) and said, «I’m done» I was like… «THAT’S IT!!?». I immediately told him to just take out the rest… haha. Unfortunately he couldn’t do that at the time because he was supposed to numb me all at once, But thats how INCREDIBLE and Painless his Technique is! I came back the next week to pull out the other 3.
I have recommended him to All my friends, co workers and familly! And I will continue to do so!
If you are scared of the Dentist like I was… Dr. Yoo will change your perspective. Trust Me!

Just went for the first time for a cleaning and exam, and I was delighted by the dentist’s excellent bedside manner and their very reasonable prices.
I had been going to a more expensive dentist in Santa Monica, and I realized I had other options for good dental care. Found Hana Dental on Unilocal,and I’m incredibly pleased thus far. I arrived a few minutes late for my first visit. They didn’t give me a hard time at all, and I only waited for a few minutes before being seen by the dentist.
They have very convenient office hours. They validate parking. Other reviews have mentioned the receptionist’s rather weak English skills, but she’s totally friendly — and when you’re saving hundreds of dollars, there is nothing to complain about. If you’re like me and looking for a reasonably priced, friendly dental office, give Hana Dental a shot. I was totally pleased.

This dental office is alright overall, exept too expensive.
If you don’t mind to pay two or three times of normal dentist charges, you may try this dentist.

The staff was professional and accommodating. I waited no more than 10minutes to be seen.
Dr. Yoo is great and thorough. Nothing but great service!!! Highly recommend.

I have extreme anxiety when it comes to dentistry, but I knew it was time to grow up and get my but to the denstist. Dr. Y was very kind and put me at ease. The improtant part was that the proceedure was painless!!! The staff here is also friendly and all around five stars! Im so happy I found a dentist that I trust. Thank you!

Dr. Yoo is basically terrific. We’re like a match made in dental heaven. He’s patient with me and gets my humor which is EXTREMELY important because 1. Who really wants someone all up in their grill? 2. I can be inappropriate and awkward. So kudos to him and his staff.
I decided to go with Dr. Yoo after having read reviews, talked to another dentist (who was not my vibe & i could tell ready to overcharge me because of location and pure greed), & convenience of location. Thank goodness i found him. He doesn’t pressure you into anything or tell you crap you need just to make a dollar. This guy is really genuine.
After wanting braces forever i decided it was time to get them. I got ClearCorrect and I’m soooooooooo happy. I was like beyond eager and excited to get them. Bless this mans heart for dealing with my childlike impatience lol Im only 3 trays in and its going smoothly and quicker than expected.
I don’t have dental insurance and he’s totally reasonable with pricing. Seriously so grateful for this especially when people are so ready to overcharge you for everything or dismiss you because you don’t have dental insurance or refuse to apply for carecredit. I do cash payments and he knows Im good for it. He doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable (you reading this Mr. Lame Dentist in Brentwood… of course he isn’t, i just needed to get that out of my system. I feel good now. That’s why Dr. Yoo is gonna get all my money and not you. Booyah… he’s still not reading this… i should tag him… can you tag on Unilocal…).
Anyway, Unilocalers, if you need a dentist or even just a consult give this office a try. After my braces are off i will get teeth whitening and my chipped teeth fixed and As long as I live in LA he will be my forever dentist.
You hear that doc? You’re stuck with me :)

They were nice and efficient. Cost is a little on the pricy end, but what Dentist doesn’t charge a lot! The Doc is very easy to talk to, the Dental Assistant was very sweet and made the whole process of making dental guards a breeze.

Dr. Yoo saw me today as a walk-​in. I had a chipped veneer and he filled it with a permanent one in under an hour. He was kind, sensitive, smart and resourceful. I am extremely impressed as the last dentist I went to just tried to get every cent she possibly could out of me. It was a pleasant experience and I’m very grateful. Thank you!

Dr. Yoo is AMAZING! I called to make an appt to have my tooth extracted and was in a lot of pain. He saw me the same day. I hate going to the dentist and haven’t been in years which caused me to need an extraction due to an old cavity I ignored. I owe a huge thanks to Dr. Yoo in helping me overcome my fear. He was so nice and had a sense of humor. He didn’t even get annoyed with my crazy friend who wanted to document the entire procedure on her iPhone video. He made me laugh quite a bit.
Dr. Yoo was very aware and sensitive to any pain I might be experienced taking extra care to avoid any discomfort. He moved at a pace that I was comfortable at stopping at any sign of wincing I made. His dental assistant Luis was also very personable and happy to do his job! Which means Dr. Yoo takes care of his staff which means he will take care of you too!
I don’t have dental ins so I paid out of pocket. His prices were beyond reasonable and he was honest about my options in what route to take for my dental procedure.
He is really a great dentist that takes pride in his profession. In fact just this morning he followed up with me to see how I was feeling.
I can assure you as a Scared Sally you will be happy you booked with Dr. Yoo.

I believe I started going to Hana Dental during my middle school brace-​face days. Nearly a decade ago! They’ve seen my teeth at its worst and its best, and I couldn’t be anymore grateful for all the effort put into improving my dental health.
When thinking about the dentist, our natural reaction is to cringe and nervously await the painful drilling and pulling — isn’t it? Like many, I always dreaded going to the dentist as a child but the Hana Dental team has surely put my heart and mind at ease. Dr. Yoo and Luis are seriously the dynamic duo in my eyes! I have never had dentists who are so genuine, friendly, skilled, and professional (unlike MANY of the older Korean health professionals around the LA area). I went in today for a routine cleaning after four years of neglecting my poor teeth and it was great to see familiar faces that remembered me and welcomed me back with smiles. I had tons of questions and both Dr. Yoo and Luis took the time to hear me out and accommodate my needs and financial concerns. So if you’re ever in need of a new dentist who will provide the absolute best treatment, stop your search and give Hana Dental a chance.
*Bilingual — English and Korean (you got nothing to worry about!)
*Parking validation
*Super polite receptionists

Just walked out of my first appointment at Hana Dental and I am very pleased with my experience. Dr. Yoo is great. Luis is great. Front desk girls are nice. Everything about my visit was just wonderful (minus the dent in my wallet – due to lack of insurance). Dr. Yoo is kind, honest, and has a sense of humor. He and Luis made me feel very comfortable, which was pretty impressive as I had suffered with a really terrible dentist a few years back. I highly recommend Hana Dental :)

It was that time again. .Or as many of us know, it had already been way past that time. With money being tight & heading home for the holidays, I needed some crucial work done on the disaster I’d created for myself when I was younger.
I didn’t think twice when it came to who I needed to call. This gem of a practice in Koreatown, on Wilshire Blvd, is run by one of, if not the best dentists I’ve ever been to.
Dr. Yoo’s office is clean, professional, and utilizes the most current technology. Along with a friendly personality, great techs (Luis is the man), and affordable care, I’m not sure why anyone in Los Angeles would go anywhere else.
I was able to get an appointment quickly, and now am excited, and unworried about biting into mom’s Xmas turkey when I fly home next week.

Wheres I goes to gets me teeth cleaned.
But seriously, I cannot recommend this place enough. I almost hesitated to rate Hana Dental on Unilocal because I want to keep it as my little secret. Their office is clean and pleasant and all the equipment looks brand new, a luxury in short supply in the dental world.
The best part, Dr. Yoo never overbooks, and even on a weekend your wait will be minimum.
The last time I went for a cleaning, I was back on the street in less than an hour.
Put simply, this is the place. Go here.

Dr. Yoo is excellent at what he does and has changed my perspective on dentistry. I walked in expecting pain and received none. Not quite sure what he does but all of my visits there were 98% pain free, I thought that was amazing. But he has a technique that is really working. Never have I been to a dentist in which, I’ve walked out every single time pain free. Not to mention that I never needed any pain medication after the numbing wears off. I have been going to his office for four months due to the excessive amount of work that needed to be done. He had to pull two teeth and it was pain free as well a couple of root canals. NO PAIN. I’ve recommended him to a co-​worker who has been going to him and has nothing but good things to say about him.
He made the entire process very easy for me. The staff is very friendly and his assistant is also very nice and very experienced. The receptionist is very sweet and would always call to remind me of my appointments, not because she had to but due to the fact that I would always forget what day I had to go in. I would recommend him to anyone who is afraid of the dentist. He will change that and make it a much pleasurable experience.
