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.

(Translated by Google) I went two months ago to get my braces and since then I have had EIGHT pieces fall out. Today I tried to talk to the manager about it and she refused to see me. (Original) Fui hace dos meses a obtener mis brackets y desde entonces se me han caido OCHO piezas. Hoy intente hablar con la manager al respecto y ella se nego a recibirme.

Very impersonal. The doctor didn't have time to even tell me what is it that I need to do. This is the worst experience I had with a dentist. I paid an extra $25 to have my X-rays sent to me by email, but five days after I still did not get the email with the scans. I called on two different days and was told that the person responsible for sending the email is not in. This is too bad

(Translated by Google) Today my experience was bad, the doctor had a very indifferent attitude, she hurt me when she put the anesthesia on me and I still didn't get the anesthesia when she was cleaning me and she didn't give me mouthwash (Original) Hoy fue mala mi experiencia la doctora estuvo con una actitud muy de indiferencia me lastimo cuando me puso la anestesia y todavia no c me agarraba la anestesia cuando me estaba limpiando y no me dio enjuague bucal

I would never go here . & I would never allow any of my friends or family members to go here . The dentist here is mean and rude and so are the dental assistants I remember they were making fun of me in another room talking about me because I was crying because I had an infection on my molar that needed a root canal . The dentist yelled at me and told me I had to learn to deal with the pain and the dental assistant walked in with an attitude yelling at me too , saying I needed to make the decision to remove my infected molar or get the root canal it was sad and it is unfortunate that there's people who get into this field and don't have the patience but yet took all my money ! Don't trust this dentist with your little ones or family. Please don't do it find another dentist . This is not a good place for you to go ! Unless you wanna owe for treatment and loose your teeth .

Angie and finance team are horrible. Trying to scam people, check your benefits to get an estimate because they will try to get all the money they can. I had an estimate for crown and root canal Angie said it wasn't possible. I asked Angie if we can call insurance together she said no it's not her job. she said I can call on my own time. I told her same thing happen to me last time where they tried charging me over 2,000$ and I only ended up paying about 200$! I had insurance on my phone, I asked if we can talk about the codes she said I am not speaking with anyone nor insurances it's not my job. Excuse me? I asked her if I can get the codes she said wait outside I have other patients. How can you jump to one patient without answering my questions first as I was my TURN ! RUDE. I waited. MY Insurance was calling her desk yet she wouldn't answer and she was sitting there && was walking around as if she was doing something . Waited about 40 minutes just to get the codes and she never brought them. I can see why people have debts because they sign off without checking their insurance benefits.

Kind and patient reception at desk. Quick service despite being a walk-in. Absolutely, love, love, love the dentist, kind, knowledgeable, quick but thorough. This is my new dental home. It's the first time in a long time I felt I could trust a dentist.

I am furious about your services and will be reporting you to all agencies possible!!! I made an appointment for a tooth extraction with an ORAL surgeon! I specifically had a referral from my doctor already and explained to Myra from the van nuys office on Thursday this is a super urgent need! Was told since I have the referral I will be seen and have it don't today at my noon appointment! I have had a tooth infection for over a week and must get this done immediately!! I was only taken x rays today and rescheduled to have it done in another week!! I could be dead in a week from the infection I have spreading to my blood!! This is totally unacceptable and has I been told the truth I would have seeked treatment elsewhere to have it done as needed!!

Only 1 receptionist actually got up to check what was happening she was great. She had red hair and was really nice. I waited 3 hours for them to tell me that I do need a root canal, which I already knew, and I have to wait for my insurance to approve it and I would have to come back. The other receptionists there did not help at all. I kept being told that I would be called "very soon" my appointment was at 11am I arrived at 10:45am and waited until 1:45 for an answer as to why it was taking so long. Terrible experience with the exception of this red headed receptionist who was kind enough to check what was happening. But undoubtedly the WORST experience in a dental office I have EVER had. Just completely terrible. If I had the option to put no stars I would choose that.

You can improve our experience by behaving respectful with patients without any racist and let your patients know about the process.

Horrible service and slow service. I got a root canal done by then and 6 months latery my teeth is hurting my root canal needs to be done again. Another time, I called and told them I needed service they told me to come in I did and waited 40 min for the doctor to see me just to tell me they cannot help me and which person in the front told me to come in while they literally checked me in for the same problem. Horrible service I would not recommend them at all

Talk to your patients and not just around them. Explain the problem, the process and the solution. Understand the reason the patient is coming in so you guys can know how to better assist the person.

I have been going to this location for more than 3+ years. I was an general, ortho and oral surgeon patient and their commitment to excellence was on point. The ladies in the front desk, managers, the assistant, technicians and the dentist are professional and understanding. Based on years of being with them, I can truly say that I trust them for my dental needs. The place do get a lot of appointments throughout the month but that's pretty common for most dental offices. Nevertheless A++ service. Kruz

I started coming here a few months ago as a referral from my sons old dental office ( horrible experience there ) so my hopes weren't high for this spot but my son had to see a pediatric specialist. Not only did this office exceed my expectations, their professionalism is top tier, extremely clean and from the doctors to the staff all are amazing people. My son has Autism and struggles to focus and keep calm. Each and every visit they have done above and beyond to make sure he feels safe and leaves happy. The patience that they have and the way that they know how to react and handle the situation with my Autistic son gives me a sense of peace and grateful that he's treated just as well. His last dental office had no patience for him and they were extremely rude. This office also gives goody bags with kids' toothpaste , tooth brushes and stickers. Sometimes they even have balloons they give out and today they had a clown make balloon animals , swords , hats etc for the kids ! It really helps my son relax for every visit. I will recommend this office to everyone and if you're stopping by reading my comment I'm telling you this office is it! I appreciate every doctor / dental assistant/ staff member here !!!
