Jason Sands, DDS

How have I not yet reviewed Dr. Sands? Forgive me, Unilocalers! I should have been shouting this from the rooftops for years now! I’ve been a patient of Dr. Sands for 5+ years and every experience is stellar. He and his staff are extremely professional and, more importantly, truly care about the well-​being of their patients.
I’ll start with the facilities: the office is in a great location right off of Laurel Canyon. There is ample free parking in the lot behind the building. Yes, you heard that correctly: there is plenty of parking, and it’s free. Unheard of in LA, I know. But it’s true! The office itself is modern, clean and very comfortable. Not to sound all New Age-​y or whatever, but the moment you enter you can feel a calm, soothing energy. This is especially nice for someone like me who typically gets nervous at the dentist. All of the rooms have TVs you can watch during your procedure. «I Love Lucy» reruns are where it’s at! They also have Beats headphones so you can listen to music during longer procedures. Very helpful!
Staff: from start to finish, whether it’s over the phone or in person, Dr. Sands and his staff are always warm and helpful. The level of care I’ve received there is top-​notch. From cleanings, to fillings, etc. I have always left satisfied and feel like I’m in great hands. Bonus: they keep an excellent schedule! I have never had to wait or not been taken in at my appointment time. The ladies up front are master planners and I appreciate them always being respectful of my time. I have referred several friends and colleagues to Dr. Sands with confidence and they all love Team Sands too. Thank you, Dr. Sands and team for taking such great care of me and my family! xo

The dentists really care about how you’re doing. Been going here for years and I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else :)

I was referred to Dr. Sands by a friend (who was also referred by a friend). I was getting frustrated with my dentist in Beverly Hills, and came to see Dr. Sands for a second opinion.
On first visit, you are given a brief overview, and fill out the Patient Form on a provided iPad. If you like, you can then get a quick tour of the office, which is extremely clean and modern. First, a series of x-​rays, and photos are taken. The hygienist will then inspect your mouth and measure the pockets in your gums. Dr. Sands reviews the x-​rays, photos and then checks your teeth, bite, etc. It’s a very thorough process.
My first impression of Dr. Sands and his team was how friendly they are! They are also extremely thorough. They never seemed rushed, and give you the time needed to get everything right. On my first visit, Dr. Sands even found a cavity that my previous dentist missed! I had just seen my previous dentist for a check-​up and cleaning… It’s never good news to hear you have a cavity, but had I not gone to Dr. Sands, it would have been a lot worse.
I’ve been back a few times since my first visit, and had a few procedures done. Dr. Sands is by far the best dentist I’ve been to, and would highly recommend him to friends and family!
A few highlights:
–They use a different technique for numbing your gums/​teeth. You don’t feel the shot. No discomfort.
–You see the same hygienist every time, who will develop a treatment plan based on the state of your teeth. Since you see the same hygienist, they are able to notice anything out of the ordinary. Tina is my hygienist and she’s awesome!
–The Office is extremely well run and efficient. Appointment reminders are sent via email and text message. You pay up-​front before your procedure… no surprises after you’re done. The day after your procedure, they will call to check-​up on you and see how you are doing.
–Their location is convenient and easy to find. I’ve never had a problem with parking (there’s a parking lot in the back, which is free and no time limit)
–You get a hot-​towel and goodie bag when you leave!

I hadn’t been to the dentist in years. Not like two or three years. A lot of years. I knew I needed a ton of work and just kept putting it off because I was afraid of what they might find or even worse — to me, anyway — what they might say… It got to the point though that I had to act on it if I ever wanted to not feel pain in my mouth again. So I bit the bullet (which hurt because of y’know, the awful teeth), scanned Unilocal,and chose Dr. Sands…
For once, a gamble paid off.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the warm and considerate nature that both he and his wonderful staff possess… From the moment I signed my name on the patient log, they immediately put me at ease. When I met Dr Sands and he did his initial exam, he confirmed it was going to be a lot of work but he was never once judgmental. He and Kristina and the rest of the staff kept my attention on the future and on how great my teeth would look and feel once the procedures were finished and I started with regular cleanings. And now a year and many appointments later, they were right. My teeth look and feel amazing.
So I really can’t thank Dr. Sands, Kristina, Elisa, Amanda and the rest of the team enough. They’re miracle workers. Believe me. If you saw my teeth a year ago compared to now you’d agree. So all this means good news for you, reader:
You can now stop looking for your new dentist.

I’ve never been so well attended to at a dentists office. Each person involved was extremely attentive and took time to give me a more thorough exam than I ever knew was possible! Everybody was extremely knowledgable and informed so it was easy to trust them and feel comfortable. I can’t imagine a better experience! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I can’t imagine why they don’t consistently have 5 stars!

I’ve been a patient for over 10 years and have never had a complaint. I love the entire staff, which amazingly, has remained the same over the years. Originally I came in for standard fillings, inlays, crowns but recently decided to sign up for Invisalign. I’m barely a ¹⁄₃ of the way through my treatment yet can see a remarkable difference in my smile. I will continue to be a lifelong patient of Dr. Sands and it has nothing to do with the chocolate chips cookies offered.

Dr. Sands is awesome! Whenever I go in I am always extremely comfortable and am always greeted by the lovely ladies at the front desk, Amanda and Elisa. Before I started going in regularly, I had quite a few problems (some that could be fixed by flossing, woops). So Kristina did the whole gum disinfecting process and my mouth felt so amazing afterwards, not to mention that the whole time she made me feel relaxed and I always have amazing conversations with her.
Dr. Sands was really great at informing me of my options and what I needed to do to get the best smile I could possibly get. We decided on Invisalign and veneers. During this whole process I would get nervous and sometimes my mouth would feel so uncomfortable but everyone was so great at making me super relaxed. Amanda was amazing at helping me understand the financial side of the process, Elisa was always great at getting me into the office at the earliest time, Wendy would hold my hand when I was shaking because I was so scared, Meylin and Dovie was always great at talking to me and helping me understand the process of what was going on. Dr. Sands really has an amazing team and he genuinely cares about his work and the people that he sees.
I have never been more comfortable and more confident about my smile!
THANK YOU GUYS!

Dr Sands and his team are awesome. They all know your name very time you go in. They make you feel so comfortable which it a big deal for me when I go to the dentist. They are so accommodating from squeezing you in for a last min. appointment to getting you right in when scheduled. Dr Sands work is top notch plus no pain. I have never been a fan of going to the dentist, but I am totally comfortable when I’m there. If you’re looking for a new dentist check him out. You won’t be disappointed.

Tina and Amanda are great as well as everybody else including Dr. Sands of course. It always feels like family when chatting with the woman that does the fitting of the night guard. My teeth are top notch now thanks to all at Dr. Sands.

I haven’t had the best of luck with dentist and the Unilocal reviews led me to Dr Sands. I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to dentist, as I USED to be a dental assistant. Now because of my bad luck with dentist on the west coast I procrastinated, and as a result was in dire need of a good conservative dentist. When I say conservative I mean a dentist that is not quick to tally up all the procedures and treats you like a business, but more of a dentist that cares and educates you to obtain the best oral health!
I walked in the office and my first impression was what a lovely office! Beautiful and very soothing! I was already happy! The staff was gentle, kind and very informative. They explained everything very well and were so pleasant. I love dental offices, but for most people they dread it so FYI this office is very caring and relaxed!
I got my X-​rays, photos, and Dr. Sands did a thorough exam while explaining everything. I have to say the moment he introduced himself I did not feel the least apprehensive. He was gentle, and more importantly expressed care and concern for my overall oral health. He suggested the best plan for me, and I was comfortable and confident that he can help me obtain my best oral health ever!!!
I’m grateful I found this practice and more so that its 5 minutes from my house! This same day I started working with Tina, one of the hygienist, with my deep cleanings and she was so amazing! Really good hands, patient, and overall sweetheart that is genuine about your care!!!
It’s safe to say I have found my dental home and am excited about improving my smile with Dr. Sands and his team! Thank you!!!

I should start by saying that I have spent most of my life being terrified to go to the dentist, that is, until a dental emergency brought me to Dr. Sands. Not only did Dr. Sands and his amazing staff see me immediately, but they treated me with kid gloves and reassured me every step of the way. Is there a such thing as a painless novocaine shot? There is if it’s administered by Dr. Jason. It has been a few years now and I remain a faithful (and grateful) patient. Please visit Smiles By Sands, you’ll be very glad that you did!

I originally came here because of trauma to my teeth from a car accident. Now I’ve been coming here for 3 years for cleanings and issues with my teeth.
Dr. Sands and staff are great!

My experience at Smiles has been amazing ! It is the first time that a dentist office has contacted me after my visit to ask if I am feeling okay. Each and every person in the office has been great and made sure I felt comfortable. Dr sands went over all the possible options and at this point I would not change my dentist anytime soon.

I have been coming here pretty much my whole life, and my life is awesome because of that! Dr Sands is very nice and makes you feel good even if you haven’t been taking care of your teeth. He is wonderful. And everyone else, the from the front desk to the hygienist that I see (and recommend), Kristina, is very nice and informative.

I have been going to Dr. Jason Sands for a few years ever since my co-​worker suggested him to me. A bunch of my co-​workers have gone to Jason for years. I have never had such quality, professional and honest work from any Dentist in my life. He ensures you feel comfortable with your procedures and lets you know what to do to improve your teeth, gums and overall oral health from the inside out. My friends and colleagues alike, all agree he is the best they have ever had when it comes to taking that trip to the Dentist! Also, I must say I have had a few different hygienists at Dr. Sand’s office, seriously all of them have been FANTASTIC! Today, Kristina worked on me and was very gentle from the x-​rays, cleaning, polishing, irrigation and finally flossing. I must say that flossing is my one fault when it comes to taking good care of my teeth. I rush too much. She was so helpful in reminding me to take my time and to do it properly for the greatest results. I am so grateful for the entire dental team/​office, their professionalism and their dedication to their clients.

My review is long overdue. I have been going to Dr. Sands for about two years now and he and the entire office are simply the best! I have a fear of the dentist (hadn’t been in YEARS until I decided to be a grown adult and actually get my teeth checked) and never once have they made me feel bad about my fears and anxiety. In fact, they go above and beyond to make sure that I am comfortable and at ease. I have referred Smiles by Sands to everyone I know who has a fear of the dentist because if they were able to turn me around then they can make anyone feel good! The office is friendly, clean and professional.

I love, love, love this doctor. I’ve been coming to Dr. Sands for almost 3 years now and the service is consistently great. He is honest and NOT greedy. His stuff is always warm and ready to help. I am lucky to have found him.

I hadn’t been to the dentist in 5 years, and I was a little nervous about what they’d find. I had some gnarly coffee stains and only starting flossing a month before my appointment to make it seem like I cared about my teeth.
They were super supportive, fully explained all procedure options (including pricing), and always put my comfort first. Plus, they were fun to chat with!

Dr. Jason is awesome! I’ve hated the dentist my whole life until Dr. Sands! He’s gentle, apathetic to my dental phobia, and he is such a sweetheart! The front office girls are super friendly and helpful!
The office is kept up beautifully and they always have coffee and these amazing cookies!!! Shhh don’t tell the dentist!
I love Dr. Sands and his staff!

From the front desk, to my hygienist (Tina), to Dr. Sands himself they make the dental visit as painless as possible.
They are all friendly and honest, they work with me to help me prevent future visits, cavities and crowns. And they don’t try to pressure me to do silly cosmetic things ie. I only have ONE tooth that’s off kilter, and while Dr. Sands let me know if I ever want to fix it at the beginning, he hasn’t brought it up since. I’ve had other dentists bring it up EVERY single time for years, and I’m not an actress, and it doesn’t bother me.
The office is clean and comfortable. I think in the few years I’ve been coming here, I’ve only ever had to wait once past my appointment time.
I’ve had bad dentists where I’ve had to replace fillings almost immediately, ones that lie and high-​pressure sell, that has not been my experience with Dr. Sands and his team.
