Smiles West Dental Office is very nice and clean. The staff are very pleasant and attentive. Dr. Wahba explained every steps she took care of my teeth, very nice and gentle doctor, Hattie, Darlene, Marco are very professional of their duties. Jackie the front office mgr. is very sweet lady, she was concerned that I would be hungry because I need to spend extra hours at the office, so she share some fruits with me and that was a nice gesture ! I appreciate that ❤️ Overall I am glad I chose Smile West for my dental care. This place gave me NICE SMILES!

Poor coordination among staff and dentist. Patient well-being is not their priority. Service was poor. I've been required to come back several times each after being scheduled for an appointment. 1st appointment was x-rays. 2nd appointment was seeing the General dentist. 3rd appointment which was after 2 weeks to see their periodontist. When periodontist saw nothing wrong, back to General dentist for the 4th appointment. and when she saw me all ready in that dental chair, she asked me "What are you here for". After all the initial x-rays, visits and everything determining what I needed, I was assuming she already knew what to do. I needed a crown for a broken tooth but she was pushiing me for dental implant which wouldn't be covered by my insurance. She said my tooth couldn't be saved anymore. I went to another dentist. Thankful and happy that I did. Very good service. I got my tooth saved and got a crown.

Questions People Ask

Yes. This dentist appears in the state's published list of enrolled Denti-Cal providers. Taking the coverage and having an opening are two different things, so still call ahead.
