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
Every holiday season West Coast Dental teams up with the Salvation Army of Southern California to provide underprivileged children with unwrapped toys.

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 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.

Staff in the ortho side were rude. Do not waste your time, money, and patience. They schedule like 10 people at the same appointment time. Please, do not come to this office. If I could leave I would! Very poor treatment to the customer, no empathy at all. They keep messing up my treatment, they are not doing their job properly, my treatment is far behind and they haven't done anything different to fix the problem. Do yourself a favor and do not waste your time. This office is horrendous!

Extremely rude appointment desk staff. No courtesy or care or manners to talk to patients. Called them several times to schedule kids appointments and no one called back. Every time we were told we would be contacted after insurance verification. Spoke to Page on 9/13/2022 and we said if they cannot provide service we can change the dentists. And the reply was "ITS UP TO YOU IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR DENTIST". What is wrong with people in this world?

Do not bother to come to this place. They messed up our appt all the time. I have two kids, and like other parents, you want to bring them at the same time. The appt was scheduled 6 month ago for 4pm for both kids. I found out, one of them was schedule at 9am and the other one at 4pm few days ago. I called them and they said I can bring them in together. Received a reminder with the time that hasn't been changed. I called again, this time they said to bring them together. Received another reminder few hours later, this time one of them at 3pm and the other one at 4pm. I called again. They were not able to accommodate us. This is not the first time they did that to us. They are really incompetent scheduling 6 month follow up. Instead of apologizing and tried to reschedule us for another day , they seemed fine for us to cancel the appointment and to remove us from the calling list. Bad service. Take your family member to another place that truly care about you.

The worst visit I have EVER had. Went in for a quick check up. I had to wait 45 mins to get seen by the dentist only for her to spend less than 2 mins with me. It's ridiculous I don't know why I keep coming back to this place when it the same poor service every time.

Im never coming back here again. The kids ortho told my daughter to be quiet in a rude manner. Now I understand that children are hefty to deal with in these kind of situations, but as trained kid orthos you have to bare patience with children. There's nicer ways to ask a child to turn it down.. West Coast, do better.

Appointment was at 12:00. I didn't get called back until 12:40pm. An hour after I leave I get a voicemail that I supposedly have a copay that I didn't pay on my way out. I've never had a copay explained to me before for a basic cleaning that I've been told over and over for years that's always been covered until now. All you guys do is syphon money from me and the finance girl is always rude and has zero people skills. Over it.

I went to West Coast Dentist today and I had experienced as a teenager the way one of the dentist my mother used make appointments for us. I've carried this fear for many years so, I kinda let my teeth go. I went in the dental office with no fear, and was confident that this would be the Dental facility I want to be a client of! I was so excited that I made a appointment for my granddaughter, even before I was seen by the dentist!! What does that tell you? No fear, No more! Thank you so much WEST COAST DENTAL AND THE STAFF, DDS YOU ALL ARE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND VERY KIND!!

My app. Was not on file,even though i got a call to confirm. I came with veneer that broke. I had it done 4 years ago there. I was supposed to have a check up and cleaning,the dentist never finished my cleaning. Somehow while i was there,my other veneer broke?? This is not the first time an app did not show up on computer. Same thing happened to my daughter. Lately its very unorganized. We have been there at least 6 years??

Everyone is nice. My son had a temporary crown done, which fell off same day. But, I have family members assured me it happens just need to go back, kids . The dentist office called back as soon office was open, and had me chose anytime I wanted and have the temporary crown replaced.

Very kind and understanding. The manager helped me immensely. It was nothing for her to call and make my next appointment, when it would have been very difficult for me, in pain headachey and that kind of thing gives me crazy anxiety. She was amazing. The dental assistant was extremely careful, gentle and considerate in dealing with me. The doctor was patient and answered all my questions like 3 times over!

Do not waste your time here! My appointment was at 11am for a cleaning. It took them one hour to do X-rays. After they were done with that they wanted me to come back another day because it was lunch time and they could not do my cleaning. I waited until it was after lunch to have my cleaning done stating I would be the first one. The doctor was about to start my cleaning when another patient began complaining about her wait time and began helping her while I waited which I had been waiting since 11am. This place is unprofessional. Please do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Also, they force you to wear a mask in the mornings because it's "policy" but after lunch time somehow it is no longer policy and no one is wearing one. This place is the worse!

Don't go to west coast dental.they will make your process way harder than you think. With appointment,waiting time is 3-4 hours and if you reach 10 minutes late then they will send you home.
