Very careful and professional! I had full xrays and a cleaning done. I was also referred to an oral surgeon to take out my wisdom teeth. Overall it was a great experience.

The people were super nice but they were pretty slow and didn’t show a sense of urgency in getting through their patients. It took me TWO hours for initial x-rays and a cleaning.

I had a great experience at Westwood Dental Smiles. The staff was super flexible and polite with finding a date that worked with my demanding job and schedule. When I arrived, the front desk personnel greeted me with warmth and friendliness, which started my visit off on a positive note. The women who did my x-rays was extremely kind, warm and highly present which severely lessened my dental anxiety, talking to me and explaining things every step of the way. I had the same experience with the women who didn't my cleaning- she was kind, considerate and accommodating which made my typical dental anxiety go away. The dentist himself was also nice, intelligent and informative, and unlike other dentists i've had in the past, did not try to squeeze additional money out of me for cavities and other dentals issues I did not have. He was reasonable and fair, and he did a good job explaining exactly what I needed to do moving forward. Overall I had an awesome experience and will definitely continue going back. I have also and will continue to recommend this place to everyone due to how pleasant my usually unpleasant experience was.2

Great office and staff, one of the best cleaning I had. And overall experience is amazing. The parking is not fun though, no validation and it was $30 for 1.5 hour appointment.

She’s so far doing a wonderful job with being informal and helpful at the same time I’m excited on the end results. I also like how she greets you immediately. And she has a smile that can light a whole room up a smile that influences me to want a smile like hers.
