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. To help support our community, Magicland Dental has teamed up with local school lunch programs to hand out meals, and also toothbrushes, to ensure nutritious meals and continuous oral health education despite the very real limitations of the COVID-19 pandemic.
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.

I love working with West Coast Dental because of opportunities such as this to get out into the community and provide the oral hygiene services that are so needed by our community, says Dr. Crawford, resident dentist at the Artesia Childrens Dental Building location. I look forward to seeing everyones smiling faces on Sunday as we perform braces screenings on the ground for those who might not otherwise have access.

A very unacceptable experience. I received a phone call to come in for my 6 month check-up. I was very specific that I want a cleaning performed and to confirm with my insurance. After coming in, having x-rays, taking time off from work U was told my insurance cover cleanings once per year. A total waste of time and the dentist that saw me today was very impersonal, Not friendly, arrogant. I have been a patient for many years. My daughter is a patient, she received her orthodontic treatment in this office. I expect better service. Very dissatisfied.

I came for a general check up and cleaning; made an appointment prior and all was set so I thought. Upon arrival at 10 am we were checked in and sat for almost 1 hr until getting seen. Once the X-rays were taken I was sent back and had to wait for 2 more hours with the waiting room not even fully occupied just to end up having to reschedule my cleaning for another day. The receptionist then proceeded to ask "Are you sure it's only gonna take 10 minutes." if it was only gonna take 10 minutes why were the orthodontists seeing patients who's appointments were after mine and I had to sit for 3 hours. Do not I repeat do not visit this office if you have Medi Cal because they will not prioritize you at all. If I could give them -5 stars I would !

My 5 year old son came to the dentist for the first time and need work to be done. I wasn't allowed to go in the room with my son bra staff didn't allow me too. I didn't want to traumatize my son from going to the dentist the first time so I am switching his dentist to another dentist that will allow me to go with my son in the same room

To say I had a toothache is an understatement. My face was swollen and I was in pain for 3 days. Dental Group of Covina saw me immediately and made the worst pain of my life go away. Thank you to all the staff and doctors. Doughnuts on me.

The staff was amazing, esp the gals that took my X-rays and explained what the dentist didn't ! The dentist read my X-rays, tap my teeth, land left! The girl gave me the details, dentist was so robotic, like I was just a number! Going back k Friday to see another dentist and get 2nd opinion! Again, the nurses/hygienist were awesome!

Everyone is pretty nice but the wait time is ridiculous we wait over an hour for an appointment and I brought my 3 year old once won't do it again we waited almost 3 hours to be seen for an appointment! No toys or kids corner for kids to play while waiting.

I never write reviews for anything but I felt the need to do so about my experience with this dental office. I was very impressed, starting with Samantha at the front desk who made sure I was taken care of and was very kind. Dr. Bahas was exceptional. He was very friendly, professional, and patient with me since I was very nervous. He explained everything very thoroughly, and made me feel at ease during my visits. ( I had multiple procedures done) Sara, Anabela, and the other girls ( I didn't get their names) were also fantastic. I highly recommend this office for anyone needing dental work done. Great job!

(I wish I could give 0 stars) My son went to get his moldings for braces on July 18th. They told me that it took approx. 8 weeks (approx. 9/8) to get back an approval/denial from medical. I waited until August 26 to call and see if they had an update and was told that they couldn't give me updates to call medical dental. I called medical dental right after and was told that as of 8/26 they had not received ANY paperwork or moldings on file. I told them that it should have been sent around 7/18 if they thought maybe it was to early to see. The lady told me no, that since so many weeks had already passed that they should already see it because ten days after moldings are sent the paperwork is sent to them by the dental office. After I hung up with them I called the dental office and told them exactly what was said to me and they said that the braces dept. was no in that day & i needed to call back on Monday. Which was annoying because they should have the same system and be able to see what was going on. She transferred me to the billing dept to leave a voicemail. I called back Monday 8/29 and spoke to "Cassandra" and told her everything I had found out and she said that she was going to check the ortho request and to call her back in 2 days. I called back today 9/1 and was told there was no Cassandra in the office, but that she saw a note in my sons file and that "per Medical" they needed new moldings that supposably Medical dental had gotten back to them 8/30 with that notice. I asked her when the request for braces was sent and she told me that on 7/18. I made a new apt for his molding to be taken and hung up. I called medical dental right after and they told me that was a lie. They still had NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING AT ALL! She told me that she recommended a new office or after his new moldings were done to call back 10 business days later to make sure they had received them. I called back the dental office 9/1 and spoke to Carina (the manager) and she apologized and said that they had a new way of things and everything was sent to a remote ortho billing and unfortunately the moldings were lost in the process. So in fact nothing was ever sent to medical. They made me waste 6 weeks waiting for nothing. How frustrating to be back and forth being lied to for a whole week. So many weeks had passed by and if I didn't call no one would have noticed. I suggest for any new patients looking to go to DENTAL GROUP OF COVINA to think twice about it. Look for a place that is truthful and cares about the patients and follows up with the procedures/paperwork needed. No need to blame a "new system in place". Take accountability for your actions and hopefully, people know that the office staff is careless/irresponsible.
