In 1991, a group of dedicated dental professionals saw the need for quality and multi-specialty dental care in many communities throughout the greater Los Angeles area. Their vision was to open state-of-the-art dental care practices that would combine the highest standard of care, the latest technologies, and the services of talented general dentists and specialists to meet the needs of the communities they serve. A family happy with their dental health. West Coast Dental bringing a higher level of dental care and caring to Southern California communities.
Today, that vision has become a reality. West Coast Dental and its affiliated practices have many convenient locations to serve you with an unparalleled level of expertise, service, convenience, and care. Inside of these practices, general dentists and specialists work side-by-side with their friendly, well-trained associates to ensure their patients get the most appropriate care and a high level of personal service.
In 2019 the West Coast Dental Regional Management Team: Cristina Ricalday, Lucy Gonzalez, Joseph Oliver, along with COO, Lucy Juarez and Founding Partner, Dr. Pakravan visited the Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles to donate hygiene kits for teens and adolescences.
The experience was very heartwarming, humbling and so very special. Our Team is beyond excited to partner with CHLA in 2020 and collectively work towards contributing to a great organization. Lucy Juarez, COO

Tis the season for giving!
While COVID-19 has affected our ability to gather, its also deeply impacted schoolchildren and their families who rely on their schools meals, support, and education.

The program is a continuation of Magicland Dentals commitment to providing local children, in partnership with the local school districts, the quality oral healthcare that they, and every child, truly deserves.
The Magicland Dental team dressed up in costumes (like Spiderman, and the tooth fairy!) to make their mission fun for children all while masked and gloved to ensure absolute safety for staff and guests.

Very bad communication between staff, management and clients. No one cares in this office.

There were red flags from the very beginning. I received 4 calls before the appointments asking me to reschedule. During my conversations, the staff couldn't pull up my dental chart and started naming patients names with my date of birth (which sounds like a HIPAA violation). After all the calls and the many conversations with various staff members, we scheduled three members of my family for today's visit. When we got there, one of the ladies in the front was rude. Beyond her attitude, the lady decided to "train" the rest of the team along with the whole waiting room and started naming our names loud enough for the whole room to hear. The waiting room heard names, primary on insurance, relationship to primary insured, etc., Which was unprofessional and also another probable HIPAA violation. When my daughter was called, a child, I was told I couldn't go back with her, which made me uncomfortable. Why wouldn't a parent be present to witness their child's dental experience?

This dental office are not transparent with pricing services provided. Hidden fees, until you arrive. Worse cleaning of my life. I paid for a deep cleaning and couldn't tell it was cleaned at All. I was rescheduled to come back to get my teeth polished for an additional $120. I paid $59 dollars for paying out of pocket and charged additional $180 for the cleaning. Total a cleaning is $360! I was told $60 over the phone. If this had a Zero star I would picked that option.

I don't know about you but I have a very uncomfortable feeling when I think of going to the dentist. My experience here was fast, efficient and as stress free as pulling teeth can be. They take walk-ins, medi-cal, and have in house financing. All of their staff from reception to their oral surgeons (only avail every other week) are very hospitable and professional. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles, had all my questions answered and left with an appointment for the next day and a first time appointment packet to return with. At my subsequent appointments I waited less than 5 minutes to be seen each time. The entire process felt very clean, respectful and ultimately, I felt like I was in good hands. I definitely recommend going to canyon dental.

I'm so happy I found this office! My last Dentist (western dental on Lyons) was THE worst. This office has been a total 180deg. I never have to wait longer than 15 minutes (if that) to get started. The whole staff, front desk, assistants, and the doctor are all super friendly and accommodating. The dentist gave me tips my other dentist never mentioned and made me feel very comfortable. I'm so glad I switched!

Stay Away from Canyon Dental Group Valencia Office they are Unsympathetic, Unprofessional, Rude, Greedy They asked me for a review I'm glad to provide it. They asked for me to let them know how can they improve, I would tell them to: Be kind, listen, sympathize, understand, explain have the decency to accept responsibility when you're in the wrong don't blame the patient for your mistakes. Just actually care about your patients and don't treat them like their frustrations don't matter. Worst experience I've ever had in a facility where the quality of care from the office manager to the Doctors only expressed arrogance and an 'I can careless what you as a patient is going through' This is how I was treated by this office except for one Doctor who I wish I could remember her name. The staff and the rest of the Doctors should take patient care lessons from her. Very sad and disappointing experience. The patient or individual must be respected and deserves quality care unfortunately this office lacked these key factors. Will be asking for my entire dental file to be transferred to another Dental office. I cannot stress enough how horrible this experience was for me. I'm just sorry I didn't heed to other reviews (Google & Yelp) that had the same awful experience I had about lack of customer service, scheduling oral surgery before a consultation and blaming the patient for their error.

Almost a 2 hour wait time with severe pain even though I had an appointment and arrived 15 minutes prior just to be told that I will be getting a prescription 2 hours later of waiting and my insurance does not cover a root canal. Asked if I can start a payment plan to start procedure even if my insurance does not cover like I was told last visit and nobody was able to provide me with assistance. It's like I was too much of a disturbance for every person I dealt with and was told to just look else where that takes my insurance. I called the office after leaving and specifically asked to speak to the lady that explained a payment plan option with me the last visit and was told she was busy and would call me back. I waited and no call back. Terrible experience and will definitely look for another dentist with much better care and warn others of the terrible service I get here EVERY SINGLE TIME. Ladies I dealt with don't care and are very rude. Seems to be some sort of discrimination because of the type of insurance I have. Extremely poor service. This place deserves ZERO stars.

RUN FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!! They have no clue what they are doing and care more about gossiping than anything else. I've seen them try to embarrass multiple clients and give them attitude right before they are about to be put to sleep to get work done. Very unprofessional have started work multiple times before they realize they can't finish it halfway into it. Ridiculous

Where do I even begin, The Canyon dental group facility on Newhall has completely let me down they are more interested in making money off your insurance than the actual care of your teeth. I was extremely disappointed and treated like trash after I voiced my opinion on how I felt they where treating me. The manager by far the worst totally lacks empathy and education on how to properly conduct herself. I felt disrespected and was shamed in front on her peers. IF YOU WANT ACTUAL CARE DO NOT GO TO CANYON DENTAL GROUP !!!!

I wish I could give just 0 stars or something in negative. This is the rudest and greediest dental clinic I have ever seen in US. My wife got an appointment for tooth extraction and followed up with the clinic 3 times today to confirm the appointment and requested for estimate for the extract. Though she was told that email was sent with the estimate, she didn't receive it at all. Since she was suffering with pain, we went ahead to the clinic. They gave estimate for tooth extract and lot of other ancillary services. My wife didn't want to do other things they suggested today as she was already suffering with the pain. The moment we said we do only extract which cost us only $32, they said doctor is not available until Sept 20th. They prefer to do service only if we are ready to take their other services.which could get them more money.
