Patrick H Dillon, DDS

It’s been a while since I have been to the dentist, and all I can say is AMAZING! I went in as a first time patient and the experience has been great! The staff is very welcoming and friendly! Dr. Dillon does amazing work! I recently chipped my tooth and he fixed it right up. I was there for about an hour and he did such a great job. No pain. And I’m beyond happy that I have my smile back!!!

Had a cavity filled with him yesterday. I am usually fearful of the giant numbing injections but I didn’t even feel a thing! The whole procedure is quick and painless. His office felt home-​y and staff was super nice and attentive.
Thanks Dr. Dillon! All smiles here :))

Incredible! Best dental experiences I’ve ever had!
I was recently scarred (metaphorically) at a previous dentist, having the worst experience of my life! Much like how they portray dentists in TV and movies.
Even with this emotional baggage, Dr. Costantino, all of her supporting practitioners, and everyone in the office, blew any resignations and past experiences out of the water! They had me feeling like I joined a family that took their time to make every part of my visit phenomenal. Definitely 5 stars every time!

So pleased that Dr. Dillon took excellent care of my mom. She said he was gentle when doing her fillings. Didn’t feel a thing. And had thorough cleanings with Lydia and Ouiza the hygienists on her first and second cleanings. Said the staff was great and happy they speak Spanish.

I have been a patient of Dr. Dillon for over 20 years and have received only the finest treatment by himself and his staff. He is much more than a dentist and can only describe him as a true artist in his craft. He is a perfectionist and constantly attends lectures and courses in all the new techniques in dentistry to further enhance his knowledge of the industry. He truly loves his profession and for these reasons I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great dentist…

I came to the office to get a teeth cleaning and absolutely loved the atmosphere as soon as i walked in! The staff is extremely sweet and friendly. Dr. Dillon is an excellent doctor and helped me feel very relax in the room.

I have been here once and by the time I left, I wanted to tell them they can take all of my money for the rest of my life.
I called Dillon Dental and needed a last minute appointment. They were very accommodating and got me in the next day. Called the next day and needed to get in earlier (at this point feeling really bad about being a difficult new patient), but they were more than happy to squeeze me into an earlier time slot. +1 star.
When I got there, any staff member who saw me would genuinely greet me and ask me if I’ve been helped. Everyone there was super nice and helpful from the beginning. The dental assistant got me started right away and moments later Dr. Constantino came in.
During the exam, Dr. Constantino was very thorough and cared about patient education. She explained to me what was happening and what to expect, she asked about how I felt and was caring in every way. I complimented her on her patient education and she said she loves to teach, she came from a family of teachers and also teaches at UCLA.
The last dental practice I went to, I saw the dentist for about 10 minutes every visit and got to know his hygienist and assistants more than I knew him. So Dr. Constantino was definitely several steps up in patient care.
She got me in an out of there in 30 minutes without sacrificing quality. She provided her cell phone in case I needed to reach her, and told me the appointment was a free consultation.
Can’t get any better than that.
Parking tips: the parking lot is in the back of the building in the alleyway next to the KFC — drive into the alleyway and it will be on your left hand side. The practice looks like a cute house turned dental practice.

Dr. Costantino is a very conscientious dentist. Very satisfied with my treatment and I like that she also in an instructor at UCLA. Highly recommend.

I have been seeing Dr. Dillon for almost four years now. I’m 41 years old and have had my fair share of dentists, especially in LA! He came very highly recommended from a good friend /​colleague. After four years of treatment, I can say hands down, without a doubt, that he’s a great dentist. And, he’s YOUR dentist. Not the insurance companies and not in it for a quick buck. He and his team concentrate on preventative maintenance and ensuring that you have the care that you need. If something doesn’t need to be done, Dr. Dillon would not recommend it. He’s a great dentist and a good guy. Hard to find someone like this.

I recently moved to San Francisco and went to a dental instructor at UCSF for a routine checkup and cleaning. She said the restorative work in my mouth that the doctor has done for the past 35 years is some of the best she has ever seen. She said that few people do that kind of work anymore. She was very impressed!
Thank you, Dr. Dillon

I’ve been going here for about a year now and really enjoy it. It’s been pain free and very informative at each visit. I have been seen by both Dr. Dillion and Dr. Castelano and I have zero complaints.
They never pressure you to get medically unnecessary procedures they just provide information and leave it up to you. They always remember you and your family and are very warm.
The staff is also very friendly and super easy going. They always give reminder calls couple days in advance and are very knowledgable about insurance plans and costs.
The wait time is very minimal. I was always seen on time for all my appointments to date.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a dentist!

I’ve been going to Dr. Dillon for more years than I can remember. He is, by far, the most professional, detailed, and concerned Dentist I have ever gone to. He has my utmost trust.

Yes! Yes! Yes!
Have you been looking for a painless dentistry? I looked for over 25 years and I found him, Dr. Dillon DDS. He stated that dentistry should not be painful and with him, it’s not. Dr. Dillon is very professional with a great deal of integrity, honesty, and experience. If you want the best, call (310) 475‑0617.

What a great dental office. From Lydia my excellent dental hygienist to Herbert the helpful receptionist everyone is perfect. Dr Dillion is cautious and never has recommended anything that was not necessary. Other dentists I’ve seen have completely ripped me off by overcharging and overtreating my mouth. Dr Dillion has made me two crowns and filled several areas of decay. I completely trust him and love his staff.

Best Dentist I have ever been to. Dr. Patrick made me feel comfortable and spent a lot of time explaining the procedures I needed. He follows up with me and other clients and he really cares. I will never go to another dentist till i die.

Dr. Dillon and his wonderful staff are simply the very best experience I have ever had as a dental patient. My first visit to his office was in May 2007. Over the last five years, Dr. Dillon has transformed my smile into the prettiest and healthiest it has ever been, and it is now the smile I’ve always wanted to have. I have had cleanings, teeth bleaching, fillings, crowns, restorative work and just about every other conceivable dental service done in his office. I am always thrilled with the attentive process as well as the beautiful end results.
Everyone who works there is warm, professional and courteous. His newly renovated office is not only aesthetically delightful, but also comfortable and welcoming. I have never had a problem with booking appointments when I need them, as they have always been able to accommodate my schedule considerations.
I especially appreciate Dr. Dillon’s fastidious perfectionism. His work isn’t finished until it’s just right. He will send it back to the lab as many times as it takes if it isn’t yet an exact fit or precise shade match. He isn’t satisfied with anything less than the absolute best results. I have always gotten the impression that his standards for his patients are as high as the expectations he would have if the work were being done on his own mouth. And if he tells you that something needs to be done, then that work honestly needs to be done. He is both straightforward as well as conservative in his recommendations.
I relocated to Orange County six months ago, and I am still making the hour-​plus drive to his office to continue being Dr. Dillon’s patient… because I just wouldn’t want anyone else to be my dentist.
(I could go on, but it would be at the risk of sounding like a gusher. So I’ll just stop there.)

So I decided to write a review after I noticed this only had an average of 3 undeserved stars.
I’ve been going here for ages and have never had a problem. They hygienists are always friendly and I’ve never had a problem with them being too rough. Dr. Dillion’s work is so good you can’t even tell. I wanted to recommend him to someone I know who obviously had fake teeth, but how do you bring it up? Last time I was there they had switched to digital storage of the X-​rays and can pull them up on the screen and show you what they are talking about. And they always give me plenty of cool dentist goodies when I’m done. They get pretty creative with them too, business card with floss in it anyone?

Love Love Love! Dillon H Patrick, DDS. I couldn’t ask for a better dentist, Dr. Dillon is very kind and caring. He and his professional staff have always made sure I leave with absolute satisfaction from the customer service to the quality of work.
Yes, its true, this dental office is a bit pricey, but being the area that it’s located in and the quality of work that is given, it’s a great value and it’s very worth it! not only that, but Dillon DDS is always willing to work with me with setting up an appropriate pay plan that works best in my budget. I’ve gone in for a couple of years now, from great cleanings that last 40−50min (not just a quick 15 min polish) to my wisdom teeth extractions.
Prior to me knowing about this office I had bad experiences with other dentist, so when I went in for my teeth extractions, I was extremely nervous, Dr. Dillon assured me everything was going to be painless and quick, but most importantly OKAY. sure enough he was right! He was very gentle when it came down to the injections and I didn’t feel a thing. I’ve also had two white fillings done at the office which look amazing and I love the fact that he used the rubber dam which keeps the debris from going in my throat.
His staff are all very sweet and know how to keep you laughing so that you don’t think about the procedure. One of my favorite things about his office is his staff’s ability to recognize their patients not only by name but by needs, having a busy schedule, I can never remember when it is time to go back in for a cleaning or a check up. Dr Dillon’s staff makes sure to call me every now and then with a wonderful reminder for when I’m due back in, which is great! I also enjoy the fact that when they call, they always ask how I’m doing and CARE TO LISTEN. All in all, this is a wonderful dental office and i couldn’t ask for more!

I came here on good word of a family member. She told me that he was covered by our insurance and that it was a «good» place.
I stayed loyal for about a year and a half,… then, realized what i was putting up with.
First, I always request a hygenist with a «softer touch». I have sensitive gums and at my old dentist this never seemed to be an issue. But at Dillons… I always bled, and once the hygenist left a bruise on the side of my lips because she was leaning her wrist on them so hard. the next day my mouth felt like i had oral surgery. So soar.
Dr. Dillon was nice and proffesional.
When it got time to come in again or schedule my next appt. someone from his staff would call me at least once a week to find a time to reschedule. This became increasingly annoying as my schedule is always fluctuating and it is difficult for me to commit to something 3 months let alone 2 weeks in advance. I would tell them this, but the calls would still come in.
After the harrasing phone calls, and a few more visits… I finally slapped some sence into myself. I called to tell them that I was no longer going to see Dr Dillon as my dentist. They asked me where I was going to be going so they could send my records. I said that I did not have a new dentist yet but that I would in the next month or so. I asked for them to wait on sending the records out so I can give them the address when I have it. They said no problem
Well I called Dr Dillons office a month later… Asking to have my records sent to my New Dentist… Gave them the address and they tell me everything was fine.
I call my NEW Dentist, to make sure they recieved the records. They tell me nothing has even come in the mail.
I call Dr Dillon’s office. Asking why my NEW Dr. has not recieved the records…
They tell me that my records were mailed to my house over a month ago.
???
WTF
«why were they mailed to my house?» I asked. «you were supposed to wait»
«because you never gave us a new Dr. address to send them too.» they said.
«well, first I called a week ago to have them sent to my New Dr. they never recieved them. second, I never recieved the records you apparently sent to me… and I didnt ask you to send them to my house «I said
they replied «well Ma’m, they were sent on (this date) to (my home address)»
«I understand that, but you realized that I did not approve you to send them there and I have not recieved them… so, now someone out there has a copy of my dental records?» I calmly stated
«Um… I dont know if someone has them, but they were sent, yes» he answered.
At this point I was so furious that I wanted to reach out and punch this person. But in our modern day and age « Unilocaling» is the internets punch in the face.
In the end. I got the records sent to the new Dentist.
I do not reccomend this Dr. Dillon. His staff are either idiots or are being led by very very bad managment.
I hope I never have to deal with that office again. Never Again…

Dr. Dillon was professional and courteous, and he seemed to do a good job with the teeth cleaning, and gave me sound advice on taking care of my teeth.
Bottom line: If you have the money and if you have big issues with your teeth, perhaps you can go here with confidence. But if you already have great teeth and just want a simple teeth cleaning, save your money and go elsewhere.
I was a poor graduate student at the time, and it was way outside of my price range for a simple cleaning (I mistakenly thought he was in my GSHIP plan, because he was listed in a GSHIP related brochure)… I switched to another dentist after that, for which I paid only $ 20 out of pocket, for all of the same things.
