Premiere Dental Group

Dr. Newman is amazing, she explains everything as she goes and I literally fell asleep as she filled two cavities for me today pain-​free. She is kind and caring, has exceptional bedside manner and answers all questions. I refer all my friends to this office. Front desk staff are friendly and very helpful, scheduling is easy, I cant say enough about this office! Bonus: Butter rum flavor numbing gel even before the anesthetic injection!

I really don’t mind too much going to the dentist. I’m a teeth person and I smile a lot. I started going to Premier Group and my doctor is Dr. Hopper.
She seemed a little nervous around me at first but then she loosen up (LOL). Some people are just comfortable around someone who they can relate to you (I guess).
She was nice and answered all my questions. i had the best hygienist in the world I think her name was Kay. She cleaned my teeth and afterwards there wasn’t any pain. She was awesome.
I was referred to an oral surgeon for an implants I need two. this MD was too cool… he greeted me with a smile and made sure i was extremely comfortable with his care.
My implant will be ready in four weeks.

I made an appointment for Dr Newman after a lengthy discussion with a front desk person. I made it VERY clear I’d just had a bunch of x-​rays from some extensive dental work and had no desire for more x-​rays unless they were to get a closer look at something. So after almost a half hour wait (10 minutes for forms, then 20 minute wait), I was ushered in and they started prepping for x-​rays. When I spoke up, the original phone gal came back, remembered our conversation, but hadn’t bothered to get the x-​rays. While I can understand (and forgive) making a mistake, she proceeded to make it all my fault. No way I was exposing myself to more x-​rays and I was just mad at that point, so I left. What a waste of time. I had all that up-​front conversation to avoid exactly what happened. I’m writing this review because I’m quite sure the docs won’t ever hear the whole story. If someone had just apologized and fixed it, I’d have let it go. But all she could do was explain how it was my fault. I don’t treat my clients that way and certainly believe I deserve the same respect. Drs. Hooper and Newman – I suggest you take a close look at how your front desk is handled…

Dr Newman is a fantastic dentist. She is trustworthy, very smart, and wonderful to be around. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a healthy mouth!

Dr Newman and her team are Rockstars of dentistry! Super Smart, efficient, compassionate and fun. Before during and after I always knew what the plan was. I’m still in awe about how little discomfort I experienced. It’s hard to imagine a better dental experience.

I have always been afraid of going to the Dentist due to past and terrible experience. I went to see Dr Newman, and I had the best experience ever! She understood my fear, listened, and was gentle. I had a root canal done and I was shocked that I did not feel a thing. She made sure I was completely numb, and even after the numbness went away I had no pain. I found the best dentist ever! The staff are friendly and caring! I love that they explain everything to me before work is done. The facility is clean and organized. I love it!

When I was new to Première Dental it was because the location was incredibly convenient, they were (still are) part of my network, and the reviews were positive. Four years later it’s because I trust Dr. Newman and the staff. So very friendly, clean, and professional.
I’m no longer in the area but to me it’s worth the drive. They try to be as accommodating as possible with the schedules, and send online reminders when your appointment is coming up (easy cancellation /​rescheduling too if needed).
Dr. Newman will walk you through everything she sees and recommends doing, and will continue to tell you want is going on during the procedure step by step. In between the process she’ll also tell some great stories about her kids :)
The one down side is the parking situation, $ 6 for an hour or more.

My daughter (age 17) and I have both been seeing Dr. Helen Hooper for many years — since my daughter was quite young. She is really wonderful with both of us Her office is run primarily by women and they are all terrific.
If you see Dr. Hooper, please let her know I recommended you to her.

This group of dentists is by far, the best I have ever been to. You know you’ve found your dentist when you get your teeth cleaned, and your gums never get hit with the scraper tool! Fast and thorough, yet gentle and pleasant, this is the place to go to. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

I have found my dentist. (Insert sound effects)
Dr. Hooper is awesome! On time or early, every time and zero pain, and I do mean zero. Bring your music on your phone or iPod and sit back and relax, in just a few songs Dr. Hooper will tell you its all done.
The front desk ladies (Linda, Gabby and Tabby) are an absolute joy to work with, They are all super friendly and always helpful.
It turns out I don’t really need all the work my last dentist tried to tell me I needed.
So glad I waited, and asked around. A friend told me this was the best office in LA and now I know why.

I’ve been going to Première Dental longer than any of the current dentists have been there! I liked it before, but when Dr. Sanderson-​Hooper took over the practice in 1997 or so, it changed for the better.
Dr. Sanderson-​Hooper is the best, competent, professional, but appropriately personal as well. Joy is my hygenist and she is a joy.
There’s never a wait and the entire office is upbeat and friendly.

Yes, another five star review and a fully deserved one at that. Everyone from front desk to the dentist herself was divine. I was able to secure a Saturday appointment a month out (they are open every other Saturday) and saw Dr. Newman this past weekend. She is one of the nicest people I have ever met! Dr. Newman explained everything she was doing and let me know what was going on. I’ve never been so well informed before. I didn’t feel rushed at all and it was such a pleasant and different experience from previous dentist where I felt no personal connection with. She is also extra special in that she knows a bit more about TMJ than other dentists I’ve gone to. I’m relieved I found such an amazing dentist!

Traumatized! Needed emergency dental work and literally just moved to the area. I turned to Unilocal!and read about this place.
The office staff was very friendly in helping make my appointment and getting my insurance pre-​authorized BEFORE I arrived. They forgot to quote my xrays but told me about the added fee before I left so I was ok with that.
The office is newer and clean, but I didn’t really care for the $ 6 parking fee. I parked in the nearby Ralph’s lot and walked 2 blocks… hey it was nice out and I needed to go to the grocery store later anyway.
Dr. Newman fixed my crown and she was AWESOME. She told me everything she was doing along the way, and really put me at ease. I’m not afraid of the dentist, but I AM inquisitive so I appreciated her keeping me informed. Her chair side manager is second to none. I hope my new dental insurance plan will allow me to keep coming back for routine dental services.

Dr. Sanderson-​Hooper is the best dentist I’ve gone to in Southern California. She’s kind and gentle. I was extremely nervous for my first visit and she put me at ease right away. Joy cleaned my teeth and she was also very friendly. I’m so glad I went there and it’s great knowing I can trust my dentist office to explain everything to me, making sure my teeth and gums are healthy, and not push unnecessary work or whitening procedures.

I’ve been going to Première Dental (Dr Sanderson-​Hooper) off and on for about 10 years now, and have nothing but good things to say about them. Their offices are clean and have all the latest technologies. The staff are friendly and helpful. They also take special care to ensure their patients are informed and comfortable with the work being done. Only drawback I find is that because they are so good, it can sometimes be hard to get an appointment.

This is an amazing group of dentists and hygienists in a clean & modern office. I’ve been going to see Dr. Hooper and her staff for over 3 years now and am always so pleased at the professional, kind, gentle, and personable approach they take to caring for their patients.
Be prepared to be a fan of going to the dentist after your appointment with this group!

I had a serious dental trauma as a kid, so switching to a new dentist always brings up some serious fear. Plus I loved me old dentist, who moved back to Europe.
Well, I cannot say enough about how fantastic this dental office is – the professionalism and kindness is apparent in every aspect of the business. Plus I have gotten some great corrective work done and Dr Newman specifically was very VERY kind, helping me cope with the process.
I love this office!

I went to see Dr. Neuman for a check up and cleaning. The parking is $ 6 which I didn’t like only because I’m not used to paying for parking at the dentist. I realize paying for parking is happening more and more now so I can live with it. There’s a big lot not far from the office. The office is fairly large and in ok shape. The receptionist was very nice and greeted me right away. I didn’t have to wait long for my appt.
Dr. Neuman was very nice and did a very comprehensive exam. She started with my jaw and neck and looking into my mouth and then went through all the teeth recoding what had previously been done. She also did the cleaning herself since it was my first time. The exam was an hour and a half in total. I think my teeth are in good hands.

I never really enjoy going to the dentist. I don’t like having my mouth open for inordinate amounts of time while drooling on myself. However, I also don’t really enjoy having rank breath or unfilled cavities so I force myself to go twice a year.
I’d say that I was pleased with their work (I saw Dr. Winther). Also, the actual dentist did my cleaning instead of a hygienist which was a welcome change. I would go back again.

Hatred is not nearly a strong enough word to describe the combination of anxiety, pain, financial woe and general sense of misery that I’ve experienced with most dentists in Los Angeles. Having not been in 4 years because of an awful experience with my last dentist, I hit Unilocal in search of a dentist who was both trustworthy and competent.
I could not have been more impressed with these gals. Dr. Winther did my first cleaning herself, and took the time to explain everything that was going on with my teeth. I had 3 cavities filled on my next visit and the experience was just as gentle and anxiety-​free.
Even the front office staff is topnotch. Usually I have to decrypt whatever scant paperwork I can get from the dentist, figure out what kind of scam or up-​sell they’re trying to pull, then fight with the insurance company over more errors. Not here. Gabrielle provided me with an annotated, highlighted breakdown of all of my costs and treatment plan, took the time to explain it, and told me to call if I thought of any other questions or ran into any issues with my insurance.
I can’t say enough about the quality of care or the «chair-​side» manner — from the initial phone call to the moment I left, it was a great experience («great» being a relative term — this is the dentist after all).
I’m thrilled to finally have a dentist that I can both trust and afford.
