Jody M. Christina is so good at what she does and great to be around! As usual, everyone in the office is so amazing and Dr. Israel is enjoyable to see. He always makes really good choices for the health of my mouth. This all is why I drive from the Valley after moving out of the Santa Monica area 8 years ago. Thank you again.
Kimberly F. Dr. Israel has been caring for me and my family for over 25 years. He is an amazing clinician and has a great bedside manner. Vicki, one of his long time assistants, held my hand when I had my four wisdom teeth extracted many years ago. She is still at the office, always greeting me with a friendly smile. You wont find a better dental office than Best Natural Smile!
Mitch G. Best Natural Smile is hands-down the best dental office around! From the moment I arrived at their door, the entire friendly staff treated me with the utmost attention and tender loving care! I highly recommend this exceptional dental practice to anyone who wants the most relaxing dental experience ever, and actually looks forward to coming back!
Roberto T. I have been a patient of Dr. Israel for almost 20 years and I highly recommend him. He is very precise, competent, always confident and reassuring. I had quite a bit of dental work over the years and he has always been honest and recommended a treatment that made most sense in my situation. Overall, a top notch dentist practice.
Tomas M. My family and I have been coming to Best Natural Smile for at least 10 years now. I can wholeheartedly say that we are lucky to have such a great dentist like Dr Israel. I trust him 100% with his work. I definitely feel like we are in good hands from the moment we open the door. Trust me when I say his hands are golden!
Jennifer V. I've been coming to BNS for years for all my dental needs. The staff are AMAZING! Considerate, careful, transparent, professional. I'm always nervous about working with a new hygienist but Lindsey was awesome! Dr. Israel also tolerates my reluctance, bad humor and general dentist office crabbiness with grace.
Nichole L. There are not enough words in the dictionary to describe how the entire team at Best Natural Smile have gone above and beyond to support me throughout my journey. My smile was a train wreck when I arrived, due to a lifetime of bad dental experiences. I am now on a solid road to recovery and I am so excited to finally have the smile makeover I have always dreamed of!
Rita M. My experience with Dr. Israel and his assistant Vicky is without question the best in quality and customer service. I always receive compassion and understanding through all procedures. I also cannot say enough about the outcome of their work as crowns and fillings are done with the latest technology and with an emphasis also on the cosmetic look.
Missi P. I love Dr. Israel! I love this office. They have transformed my smile! Also I am very sensitive when it comes to my teeth. I get very scared and they always take such good care of me. I drive a long way to get there because they are just that good and very professional. Would give 10 stars if I could!
Donna A. Best Natural Smile is hands down the best dental office I've ever worked with! From the moment you walk into their waiting room, you're greeted with their friendly staff. Their team is not only very friendly, they're also very professional and skilled. I'm so grateful I found Best Natural Smile. I can't ever imagine going to a different dentist!
Deborah L. Best dentist in LA. Very professional and will not do work unless its necessary. I had a root canal in the morning and an hour later Dr. Israel had my new crown in. I have referred several people to him and they all had the same experience. His office is following strict CDC standards and I felt very safe. I highly recommend him. Thank you Dr. Israel!
Patrick B. My experience for many, many years at Best Natural Smile has been consistently excellent. Dr. Israel and his staff are always professional, personable, efficient, and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Israel and his office for all dental needs.
Lauren B. I can't say enough good things about the experience I've had so far with Dr. Israel and his office. They are incredibly kind and non-judgmental and do a fantastic and thorough job. I'm so grateful to have found them!
Brian M. I've had a great experience with Best Natural Smile and I can't recommend them enough to anyone looking for a top quality dentist in the Santa Monica area. They were able to overcome some very challenging issues related to the removal of my old implant and then installed a new implant which looks incredible. Thanks again to Dr. Israel and his staff!
Milanie D. I have had problems finding the PERFECT dentist for me well I have now found one. The doctors and staff have been thoroughly professional in every aspect of my dental experience. From my initial contact with them to my dental procedures they have been a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone and everyone.
Rad B. Dr. Israel and his team are at the very top of their game. I've been around, and I dealt with other dentists before. They just pale in comparison on every level. Ive been a loyal customer for over 15 years now, and I feel blessed I found a dental crew so awesome. You will love that VIP vibe as you sit in your chair! Go book a visit and see for yourself!
John L. Dr. Israel and his team are professionals in every way. I needed a crown replaced and because of the investment he made in the latest equipment, my teeth were scanned and the crown was created and put in place all in a single visit. No molds, no temporary crowns, no 5-10 day wait for a second visit. Awesome!

I love this place. I recently had an emergency situation with an old root canal and they were very attentive on getting me in Right away. It turned out I needed to get the tooth removed ASAP as it was infecting my whole body. After the procedure, they made sure to follow up with me and get me in for all follow up appointments in a quick timely manner. Any dental or oral procedures are never fun but this place makes it best experience one could have while drills are in your mouth. I recently got dental insurance and unfortunately for me, they are out of network HOWEVER, I'm still choosing to go to them because I don't want any other place handling my mouth. I am confident that I am receiving the best care and I will recommend them to anyone and everyone. Not only because of the medical reasons but the staff and office environment itself, is warm and inviting.

Best Natural Smile is one of those places that feels special right when you set your foot in the door - the super-friendly vibe, a feeling of being welcome, and that gut-level sense that with your scary dental problems, you are really in good hands here. Well, it's real - you really are! I've had Dr. Israel and his team work on my teeth in the span of over 20 years now. And I have had many complex issues that required top level medical expertise (implants, extractions, root canals). Not only did they do top notch work, but when it was necessary, they referred me to other specialists in their own network, quality physicians whom I got to know and trust, and whom it would not be easy to find by just googling. They really are a tight crew. Add to this the most gorgeous views of oceanside Santa Monica that can help you ease your dental unease, and the strongest coffee this side of the galaxy that can get you going (if requested), and you really have the winning combination. I have found MY dentist, and did not have to look anywhere else. Go visit them and see for yourself!

Dr Israel and all his staff made my experience so wonderful and I have always been afraid of dental procedures! I highly recommend this dentist, especially for those who have had bad experiences with other dental cleanings and fillings in the past! Their office is also gorgeous.

July 6, 2022: Another Great Experience As Always: My latest visit to Best Natural Smile and Dr. Israel was again a great experience. These kind and extremely competent people really take care of their patients. Christina Tran, RDH, as always did a wonderful job as dental hygienist; she manages to impart so much helpful and up to date knowledge that I'm a little amazed and extremely grateful. Best Natural Smile is outstanding - exceptional staff and service, as well as unfailing attention to detail and all health protocols. Thank you! New message from Best Natural Smile: My experience at Best Natural Smile was outstanding, as always. Dr. Israel, with the kind and expert assistance of RDA Vicky Thai, did a wonderfully efficient job at two procedures this week. Dr. Israel uses the very latest in technology and combines this with his outstanding expertise, knowledge, and personable manner. I always enjoy going to Best Natural Smile, thanks to the kind, charismatic, and top-notch staff, which includes, most recently, Angel, who excels at billing and practice management, Trini, who is really great at customer service, Lilly, who also excels at customer management, and Christina, who is always outstanding as a registered and certified dental hygienist with great skills as well as charm. Best Natural Smile, and Dr. Israel and his wonderful team, are simply the best! I recommend them highly. My experience for many, many years at Best Natural Smile has been consistently excellent. Dr. Israel and his staff are always professional, personable, efficient, and helpful. Procedures with Dr. Israel and Vicky, and dental hygienists Christina, and Loan, have been outstanding, comfortable and even informative. My experience also has been wonderful with Lilly, Trini, and Angel, who have been instrumental in making the process of scheduling, billing and even Covid-19 compliance an easy and seamless pleasure. I highly recommend Dr. Israel and his office for all dental needs.

When you find a good dentist you stick with them! Dr Israel provides the best service in LA. He made me feel relaxed and comfortable during my fillings appointment and his office has the best view in Santa Monica.

I've been seeing Dr. Israel for years. Truly an excellent experience in every way. If your appointment is at 2pm, you go in at 1:55 and are seen by the doctor pretty much as soon as you're in the chair. He and his fantastic assistant, Vicki, take care of your needs in a kind, compassionate, and professional manner, and you're out. He doesn't jostle several patients at the exact same time. Everything he can handle in house, he does; but if you need specialist work he sends you to the very best -- so in other words, he knows his field of expertise and makes sure that if there's somebody who can do a better job with wisdom tooth extraction or a root canal, then you're seeing that person right away. The hygienists, front desk, and all other staff are likewise exceptional. There really is nothing lacking in their services for general dentistry from basic exams, cleanings, and fillings, etc. to teeth whitening, Invisalign, crowns/caps and I'm sure a whole slew of other services. Also, Dr Israel is a firm believer in using the latest and best technology to ensure your premier experience. The mans been doing this for three decades and every aspect of his work manifests that.
