Weve been making quality care more affordable since our founder, Dr. Curtis Beauchamp, opened his first office in 1903. Like a lot of visionaries back then in Los Angeles, he did a lot more than start a practice. He opened up dentistry to the people and championed the idea that everyone should have good oral health.

He did it by delivering excellent care at affordable prices and letting his patients pay over time. Back then, they called it 'Credit Dentistry.' These days, it 's how almost all of us afford the braces, root canals and implants we need.

By the 1930s Dr. Beauchamp and his son, Dr. Robert F. Beauchamp were treating thousands of patients at multiple locations. Fast forward to today, and we serve over 1 Million people a year in four states.

I was in their waiting room for 2 hours to get a cleaning in my teeth. I had to go back to the front desk to remind them that I was in the room. When I asked what was happening, they said we are backed up. 20-30 minutes is ok but waiting for 2 hours ! That completely unacceptable and they still ask if I want to wait !

Normally when i come here I am greeted with polite friendly faces,but today that was not the case. I came in with my 11 year old who had an appointment at 9am it is now 10:30 and we have yet to be seen, the older woman who works the front desk is very rude and asked my husband to leave "because only one of us can be here" yet a family of 4 came in and all were allowed to be in the waiting room. The older woman gave my kid mouth wash to rinse and then told ME to take her to room 10, I did but I dont work here so why should I? Never the less were STILL here waiting not to mention the security guard who takes his job WAY too seriously, I was about to move my chair next to my husband in the waiting room before the older woman had him leave and the security guard literally yelled "stay 6 feet apart for your own safety" now I can understand if I was moving my seat next to a stranger but he saw us all walk in TOGETHER and we are in the same household so it doesn't make any sense,needless to say after this appointment I wont be comming back to this location. Unless you like being yelled at by security and treated unfairly. There is literally a family of 4 sitting here and the older woman has said nothing about that. I feel she is being biased due to mine and my childs ethnicity. If I could give them ZERO stars I would. But you get my point.

Dr. Wun was very polite and very good at explaining all my questions. I loved that they honor the customer in case you are not 100% satisfied. I had some concerns about a filler that I had 6 months ago and I came back to check and she was very professional and I left the place very satisfied. Thank you!
