Calabasas Dental Institute

I came to Dr. Rubin after I recently acquired dental insurance and saw the reviews on Unilocal and thought I should give him a chance. I was hesitant at first since I have had such horrible experiences with dental work. I have spent thousands of dollars with different doctors trying to beautify my smile and maintain my teeth. Most dentists are like vets, just trying to sell you stuff you don’t need.
My appointment with Dr. Rubin was at 3:30 and he personally sat and went over all my concerns and gave pros and cons to each procedure he could offer. This is so awesome since most dentists will just shut you down and tell you what they think you need. I took some x-​rays, did a teeth cleaning and then Dr. Rubin performed an extraction of two wisdom teeth in literally 3 seconds each! He even made a joke that he was the fastest extractor of all the dentists when he worked for the Israeli army.
Dr. Rubin stayed with me until 6:00pm and was so patient and took his time with me. Never once did he make me feel like he was jumping from patient to patient. He truly listened to my concerns and his honesty was definitely refreshing.
As a woman who has gone through hell with dentists and spent thousands of dollars on failed dental work, I highly recommend Dr. Rubin. His products are the best of the best. While he is not the cheapest, he is the BEST and you get what you pay for. Also, he accepts insurance so I was lucky that my insurance covered almost everything.
Oh and also everyone in the staff is soooo nice! They are so warm and cheerful. Made me feel comfortable.

I went to a dentist for years and had crowns literally falling out of my mouth after a few months. The new crowns that I received from Dr. Rubin are not going anywhere. For years. That’s how it should be. What a waste of time and money I endured from my previous dentist!
Efficient and the job is find right the first time. Nice reception staff who are extremely flexible and patient! Thanks!

Nice and wonderful staff, great with kids! I would recommend 10/​10, nice location with Parking

Dr. Ruben and his staff are an absolute pleasure. I used to dread going to the dentist until I started going here. They’re very attentive to my needs and he sincerely cares about my well being. I’ve had a few good laughs there without the need for any gas. The parking is tight but maybe next time I’ll try the complimentary valet. I will continue going here for all my dental needs.

Dr. Rubin is a rude and unapproachable man. I came to him with jaw clicked and locking and extreme shoulder, neck and back pain and that I was desperate for a solution. He neglected to take an x-​ray or proceed with any other tests, he simply prescribed me a night mouth guard and charged me $ 550 before I left. I wore the mouth guard for 2 months and my pain increases throughout my jaw and body. I went to a TMJ specialist who told me that Dr. Rubin neglected to do anything else and a night mouth guard was never going to fix me. I went back to Dr. Rubin to inform him and request a refund, and he proceeded to yell and call me a liar and that his mouth guard was the only thing that would fix me. He told me all the other doctors were lying to me and he was the best.
I felt so defeated, betrayed and do not prefer to be yelled at. I do not recommend Dr. Rubin to anyone because he is unapproachable and mean. He is fake.

Dr Rubin and entire staff are amazing. This is a dentist office were you feel like family. Top notch restorative work by Dr Rubin. If anyone can give you a new smile, he can!

Dr Oren is the greatest, the only doctor I truly trust 150% with my dental procedures

The staff is so friendly and I love cracking jokes with the dentist. He takes his Time to make me understand what procedure needs to be done and what caused it. They always work with my schedule because its tough for me to get time out with 4 kids. They name you feel like family. The staff actually helps keep an eye on my kids while the dentist works on me. I always thought parking was the challenging thing around here but just found out they have free valet service that I wasn’t using all this time.

Hadn’t been to a dentist in a while and came across this place to give it a try. Had to wait a while due to an emergency that came in but it wasn’t bad. Brittany did my cleaning and she was wonderful, definitely very personable! I had a good experience here, loved everyone’s sense of humor :)

I am so glad I cancelled my daughter’s appointment with another dentist office because of the way they treated me and made an appointment with Dr. Rubin and staff. My daughter was treated so kindly by everyone in this office and no one had a problem with me sitting nearby to be of comfort for my daughter. Dr. Rubin is personable and kind and that makes going to the dentist a pleasant experience.

This dentist and office staff are all fabulous! Dr Rubin provides the best gentle pain free treatments possible. He will give u a script for pain meds so you can relax at home after a grueling dentist appointment:) the office staff is very friendly and you feel like you are a friend when you come visit. State of the art treatment and a winning staff make this dentist the one to see!

I got my teeth cleaned and I feel great! Dr rubin and his staff are fantastic! Couldn’t recommended them higher.

Dr Rubin and his staff are amazing. They made me feel so comfortable I almost took a nap. They also took me in as an emergency on the same day. I can not say anything other than wow.

Throughout my youth people commented on the massive gap between my front teeth with a wide range of mixed reviews ranging from OMG that is a really big space, to its so sexy you look like Madonna. I hated it. I hated everything about it. So when I was about 18 I had it fixed with something called bonding that basically is like play-​dough and glue. It was supposed to last 10 years, but lasted about 20+. And then I was gap-​toothed once again and feeling more like Letterman then Lauren Hutton. Enter Dr. Applefield. The man is an artiste. I kid you not. He took on my impossible situation (aging and teeth shifting) like a challenge and wouldn’t rest until I was magnificent.
Since then I’ve had my first tooth pulled out and a crown built by him. Another incredible job. Dr. Applefield is sane, meticulous and chill. They’re not the cheapest, but I’ve learned that you really really don’t want the cheapest to be going anywhere near your mouth. But somehow I never get the feeling that I’m just another payment on the dentists boat… you know? And I like that.

I used to be fearful of the dentist and unfortunately I passed that down to my kids.
At Calabasas Dental Institute they addressed our fears and made it pleasant. They did everything they had to do to make us comfortable. And we no longer have those fears of the dental chair.
After several visits I’m happy to say I left today with the shortest best dentist appointment I’ve ever had. And I got 2 fillings :-)
They have the most friendly, informative and helpful staff that make you feel like a «VIP» all the way every time. A family atmosphere.
The office is always clean and comfortable with all the latest and greatest dental tools.
We highly recommend Dr. Rubin and his staff for all your dental needs. They won’t disappoint!

Paul is a terrific dentist that my entire family has used for over 30 years. The office and staff at Calabasas Dental Institute are marvelous.

What’s a Great staff ! I had a dentist for years and was happy but not overjoyed. Then I met Dr Greg Rubin from a Groupon I tried for teeth whitening. WOW! How amazing ! This team is the best, they are efficient, caring, and friendly. I would recommend them to everyone !

Dr. Applefield is an excellent dentist. I’ve been going to him for years for my cleanings. He is meticulous! When my brother returned from overseas employment and needed a dentist, I happily recommended Dr. Applefield. My brother was extremely pleased with work he had done. The people who work in this office are very friendly and you can tell that they enjoy what they do!

Went there for a consultation. I needed a lot of work. I’m getting it done elsewhere.
I’ve been to around 30 implant people trying to find one I feel comfortable with. What I’ve found are mostly two types of dentists…
1. The guy who wants to «control the customer»
2. The guy who wants to «sell you work».
Dr. Rubin turned out to be both types. I asked for something very specific. He told me that he would only do a much bigger type of job. When I asked how much it would cost, he threw out some very high «approximate» numbers. When I asked for a specific treatment plan in writing, he said he would provide it. I’m still waiting for that.
Then he tried to scare me into doing the job he wanted to do by saying that if I didn’t do it, I would have a heart attack, stroke, etc…
I cannot comment about the type of work he does. It might be very good. But it’s important to understand that Dentistry is basically an unregulated profession and if you need major work, there are many people out there just waiting to take advantage of you. You must insist on estimates in writing, and legit people will give you that with no problems.

Dr. Rubin is a great doctor helped me out tremendously, he’s honest and caring… The front desk girl was very pleasant to deal with and made me feel comfortable!
