Our mission statement at Sherman Oaks Dental Care is to provide all of our patients and team members with an environment that facilitates their health, prosperity, and happiness. We truly want to change how people view dentistry by focusing on always providing a high-quality experience for even the most apprehensive patient. By focusing on friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable care, we provide experiences that last a lifetime.
Our Sherman Oaks dentist, hygienists, and office staff operate on five core principles. These help us deliver superior and friendly care no matter is you come in for a routine cleaning or if you need to visit our office for an emergency situation.
We know that patients of any age can feel anxious about going to the dentist. We also know that your oral care is important. Our Sherman Oaks dentist wants to change your mind about dental care which is why all our team members are always compassionate to your needs and have a positive attitude about how they can help you.
More importantly, we are honest in everything we do. You will not be upsold or pushed into treatments you do not need and we make sure you know exactly what to expect before you sit down in our comfortable dental chairs or while your procedure is underway.
Dr. Ashkan Namini or Dr. Ash as most patients call him, grew up in Kirkland, WA just outside of Seattle. Famously the motive behind the Kirkland Signature brand at Costco. He attended the University of Washington where he received his B.S. in General Biology. While Dr. Ash loves Seattle, he made the move to Los Angeles to attend the University of Southern California School of Dentistry.
Dr. Ash got into this field to make a difference in people's lives and gratefully, this field has given so much back to him. While Covid has hampered his plans, he's committed to volunteer trips every year of his dental career. Dr. Ash has traveled to Costa Rica, Fiji, Belize, Haiti, and Mexico a number of times on volunteer trips to provide free dentistry to those less fortunate. These trips are always a reminder of why he got into dentistry in the first place and cultural eye-openers as well.
Dr. Ash continuously strives to serve his patients to the best of my abilities. He has taken countless hours of CE courses in cosmetics, implants, Invisalign, and many other aspects of dentistry. Your health and comfortability are Dr. Ash's main concerns while he tries to provide a light and enjoyable experience.

Highly recommend! I've been there with both of my kids, one of them was never been at dentist and the whole staff made both of them so comfortable they didn't scared at all. We didn't need to wait for long time, the office very clean and the staff very patient and friendly. I came here after being at other office who suggested my son need root canal even though he have little cavity which made me uncomfortable and I looked for another place, I'm sure glad I came here since they told me he don't even have to do any treatment since it's small cavity and baby tooth that will fall soon so ob top of all the other good things I can also say this office is reliable. If you looking for good, clean, friendly and reliable dentist then this is the place!

The first photo was my son believing his life would never be the same again after EVERY dr. for 3 years said he could not be.. from 25-28. The right is the first step ONLY in Dr. E's complete and total life transformation for him. The words do NOT describe the gratitude we both feel!.... and now.. MY TURN! Thank you to the WHOLE AMAZING TEAM... you guys are the biggest Hollywood Stars I have ever met!

The staff is extremely friendly from the women at the front desk to the technicians. The women at the front desk are all pros. Happy to help with any insurance issues that might pop. Always super helpful. It's the first time I haven't dreaded going to the orthodontist. Their team of technicians is stacked with pros. Fidel is the best. He's super attentive and truly wanted the best for me when it came to correcting my smile. Can't recommend these fine folks enough.

Beware of this office. Beware of their prices. Beware of the root canal lady that damages your teeth for a return fix visit. You will not leave without a considerable out of pocket fee. Report all issue to the Dental Board. This must stop. Google about the Wisconsin dentist going to jail. That is this office in a nut shell.

I was happy with my consultation. Dr. E & his staff are very pleasant. The office is centrally located, nice decor, efficient service and they offered me complementary consultation and CT which I absolutely appreciate. I need to do more research on the implants services but I was happy with my consultation. Thank you Dr. E, SOPHIE, & Natalie.

Had a few basic cleaning services at this practice. When my insurance changed and I gave them my new insurance information, nothing was said and they proceeded to do the cleaning and then billed me! I spoke to their office four times to explain that they have an obligation to their patient to let me know if services aren't covered PRIOR to services being rendered. My insurance has a log of them calling and checking on my coverage the day of my appointment but the practice neglected to let me know that my coverage had changed. I have asked several times to have a manager call me to discuss this issue further as my insurance confirmed that they paid the claim in FULL and my call remains unreturned, yet they continue to bill me.

I had a great first experience today. The staff was very friendly, welcoming, and proffesional. Dr.E was very helpful and patient. He did a thorough exam on my upper and lower teeth and went through my best options regarding the treatment plan. I would highly recommend Sherman Oaks Dental Care & Orthodontics to everyone who needs dental and implant care.

Amazing dentist. I basically had no bottom teeth and a broken denture on top. I had appt on Friday and by Tuesday my life was changed. Everyone who knew me before said I looked younger, spoke better and most important I felt more confident my new smile.
