Fallah, DDS

I profoundly regret my decision to have dental work done by Afshin Fallah.
In my most recent appointment I was told I had a cracked tooth that needed to be crowned at a cost of approximately $ 2,000 and, sooner than later, ‘deep’ (a/​k/​a expensive) cleaning for my gum health. Upon seeking a 2^nd opinion from another DDS I was informed that my tooth could be repaired for $ 600 and that my gum health is ‘great’.
Prior to this last appointment I spent $ 14,000 (FOURTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS) on a permanent top/​front bridge that turned out to be incorrectly [too big] sized and should never have been installed. The procedure was of zero benefit to me and did in fact cause harm on a number of levels.
For starters, the cavitation infections that were supposed to be eradicated with this procedure were not eradicated at all making the whole miserable ordeal a complete waste of EVERYTHING. I’ve lost confidence in my smile (which used to be complimented all the time!) because the teeth in the bridge look so unnatural. My lips no longer seal together — during sleep I can only mouth breathe which is really bad for the nervous system. Every mouth activity from chewing to kissing, etc, etc, etc is compromised and uncomfortable. My jaw and neck are now constantly and painfully misaligned. Unfortunately the list goes on.
Per other reviews of this business I agree the staff are amazingly charming while performing routine procedures and collecting payments (which of course are always due PRIOR to treatment) however when called upon to take responsibility for a mistake, the amazing charm turns to amazing excuse making and denial of liability.
I do not feel I am being the least bit melodramatic when I state that I have been significantly traumatized physically, mentally, emotionally and financially by Afshin Fallah’s lack of knowledge, skill and integrity.

So I haven’t even had an appointment here, but I called to schedule one and ask some general questions — I haven’t been to the dentist in over 6 years (yikes!) and when I asked about the exam x-​ray and explained I’m currently nursing, the woman on the phone (I’m sorry I can’t recall her name) said it would be best to wait — even for a cleaning — until I’m finished nursing for the health of the baby. Since it’s been so long since I’ve had one, she said it could possibly stir up a lot of bad bacteria. She then recommended a couple of products I can use at home in the meantime. How refreshing! The reason I called was because I searched for holistic dentistry in the area and this is exactly the type of advice I would expect. Thanks for the info and I will definitely be back in a few months for a full appointment ;)

My family have been coming to Dr. Fallah’s for over two years now! My son is always looking forward to come! We love how everyone is so welcoming and warmth .
Dentistry is not anyone’s favorite but they certainly made things so much more easier! I would definitely recommend this dental office to everyone I know! State of the art office, clean and warm loving people! What else could you ask for!

I have been going to Dr. Fallah for years and I have to say he is the absolute best! My teeth are perfect and everyone in the office is so friendly and accommodating. It’s always an enjoyable experience! You can tell that there are a ton of long term and repeat clients that go here. I see many people leaving this office with a huge smile on their faces, including me! I will continue to go here for years to come, thank you so much Dr. Fallah!

Normally, it is not anyone’s favorite thing going into a dentist’s office to get your teeth worked on, but I certainly don’t mind going into Dr. Fallah’s office. Dr. Fallah and his staff are an incredible team — they are very warm and welcoming when you come in for dental work and you receive great care during and after treatment. I have had a number of dental work done, some of them major, and it’s been a great experience with all the treatments as I felt much better and my teeth look much better! A big heartfelt thanks to Dr. Fallah and his staff for I can’t thank them enough for all the great care they have given me. –Kim K.

Wonderful experience with Dr. Fallah. I came in with serve tooth ache, he used digital xray, showed be the bone loss on monitor in 5 min., scheduled surgery for next day and removed tooth. He used some really cool technology to reduce pain, minimize infection, and seal the hole between sinus cavity and back molar extraction. Pain wasn’t bad, and all but gone by next PM. I HIGHLY recommend this dentist, he’s got great bedside manner, highly skilled and uses latest technology and innovations. But most of all… I completely trust him and his staff.

Dr. Fallah and his team are wonderful and caring. I have been going here for dental care for over 5 years and would never want to go anywhere else. I recently had a tooth extraction and a dental implant and am so GRATEFUL for the care I received from Dr. Fallah and his whole team. The process could not have gone smoother. Thank you Dr. Fallah!

I’m not sure 5 stars are enough to express how pleased I am with Dr. Fallah. He was my third consult for dental problems I had been experiencing. I am 64 year old medical professional and have had A LOT of dental treatments and dentists over the years. I have never experienced anything like the care I received at Dr. Fallahs office. Both back and front office staff are AMAZING! It seems like one big happy family there. The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly, but also top notch professional. It seems like the perfect balance. Everyone is friendly and knowledgable. It seems that there is a mutual respect in that office you rarely see anywhere. Dr. Fallah was very thorough and took the time to explain everything to me. I never felt rushed. He thoroughly explained all of the options but left the choice of those options up to me. I felt like I was made aware of the pros and cons of all options. I spent a lot of time in the chair during the procedures, but was always kept comfortable and informed. Dr. Fallah is easy to reach for any questions or problems. I just can’t say enough good things about my whole experience there. The best of all is: My teeth look great! I really did not go there planning to look better, I went for health issues. This was really a big bonus! I would recommend Dr Fallah for anyone who wants top notch dental care in a warm comforting environment. It’s the best.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Fallah. Beautiful location. Kind and friendly staff. Dr. Fallah gave me a thorough examination and replacement of an old crown. He has the most advanced equipment to keep you safe! We were shocked when we found an old amalgam filling underneath my crown, but he removed it safely and now I don’t have to worry about nasty Mercury in my mouth! Thank you, Dr. Fallah, you are the best!

Dr Fallah is the best Dentist I’ve ever had (and I’ve had several over my lifetime). I went to see him because I wanted a mercury free mouth and more holistic dentist. Hr removed all 8 mercury fillings and even was able to save a tooth from getting a crown! They use air vacuum, rubber like dams with seal, O2, etc. And now totally mercury free :). He even cold laser removed come fibrous tissue for biopsy just to make sure it wasn’t anything more serious. All my procedures were pain free with minimal interference with the rest of my day. My daughter also uses Dr Fallah & we both are always so pleased he remembers the little thing we chat about and take such a genuine interest in both our health & our lives. I fully recommend Dr Fallah if you are in North County coastal area. All the staff is friendly and Theresa is excellent in getting my insurance to cover most if not all of our dental care. They are reasonably priced but for all they do well worth it. Will never go anywhere else.

I have had a couple check-​ups here in addition to about a half-​dozen cleanings. Dr. Fallah and his staff are very friendly. Dr. Fallah is knowledgeable about everything to do with the mouth. He will try to sell you other services (straightening, whitening, etc.) but won’t claim that they are necessary unless they actually are. His hygienist is very thorough and knowledgeable. They are a bit pricier than other dental offices. Overall its a good place to go for dentistry.

I followed Dr. Fallah from his Wilshire office, where patients rubbed shoulders with Hollywood celebrities, to Carlsbad, where the breeze of the ocean and the modern settings and equipment combine with the friendliness of staff and Dr Fallah’s mastery and soft touch to make the trip more than worthwhile. The list of certificates and accolades on the walls is growing and show Dr. Fallah makes a point of staying up to the minute with very advanced technologies and practices, in some cases even pioneering and leading the field. Undeservedly recommend to anyone who wants the best of techniques and ethics.

I finally found someone who could help me! I was having really bad headaches from TMJ and clenching my teeth at night. I was living with unbearable headaches 3 – 4 times a week. Now with Dr Fallah’s help I am headache free and feeling great! I can’t tell you how much this has changed my life to finally find someone who can help!

I can’t say enough about Dr. Fallah and his assistants! I’m very afraid of needles and hate the sound of drilling so I’m not the easiest client to deal with. lol Dr. Fallah always made sure I was comfortable and kept the needles hidden by request! ;) He did an excellent job and it was a lot less painful than I thought it would have been! I would recommend him to all my friends and family!
I’m smiling big now!!! I’m in love with my new teeth!!!

Dr. Fallah is the perfect dentist for me! He was recommended to me by a respected health professional, for treatment of serious dental problems that were adversely affecting my health. For example, there were jaw problems from old root canals. There were porcelain crowns with unsightly metal showing at the gum line. These were made of materials that were incompatible with my body, and they had had to be redone more than once.
From the outset Dr. Fallah’s dental practice inspired my confidence — the modern office with state-​of-​the-​art dental equipment, the friendly and capable staff, but most of all Dr. Fallah’s up-​to-​date knowledge of everything in the field of dentistry.
During our initial discussion, Dr. Fallah listened to my concerns and needs, the most important of which was to have a more holistic approach used. He discussed with me my treatment options and the different dental materials available. Because of my delicate health, I was extremely pleased that he was able to advise me how to order a test that would indicate which dental materials are compatible with my body. During treatment, he used the safest procedures and materials available, and he continuously monitored my vital signs. Very importantly, he allowed me to view the dental work that he fashioned, before the final placement. I wanted my new teeth to have the shadings and slight imperfections of normal teeth.
It has been about two years since my dental work was completed. My health has improved, and I am content with my dental work, both functionally and visually. I sincerely believe that Dr. Fallah’s treatment led to the best possible outcome.

I have been a patient of Dr. Fallah for over a year now and I must say I am truly impressed by the quality of care this clinic provides. I want to start by saying that I am a medical student and fairly experienced in scientific research and health care. Dr. Fallah is a very progressive minded dentist who’s techniques go far beyond what normal dentist do. He has been trained in several protocols which include ozone and prf, for routine procedures this keeps the risk of infection at bay, speeds up healing, and decreases pain. However, like I said this goes far beyond the intent of a normal dentist, his approach has more to do with the entire body and the health of the entire patient. Dr. Fallah is a biological dentist and his goal is to protect and heal the body. He knows the correlation between dental health, immunology, and what we like to call neuromusculoskeletal problems. He keeps up to date with the latest research and methodology and has numerous certificates of training in advanced techniques. If you are looking for a biological dentist who is holistic and interested in your overall health please look no further. I live several hours away from Dr. Fallah’s and still don’t hesitate to book an appointment. Its a shame other dentist are not like minded.

Dr. Fallah has been taking care of my father who is suffering from aggressive lymphoma and apparently had several very infected dental abscesses. My dad needed to have the infected bone and abscesses removed before he could start chemo, and his tumors are growing aggressively. He performed several dental procedures and worked after hours on a walk-​in, emergency basis to allow my father to be able to start his chemo. I am very thankful for Dr. Fallah’s wonderful care for my father.

The pictures that he’s posted of the thick, fake looking veneers say everything about why I’ve been unhappy with the work done by Dr. Fallah ten years ago in West L.A. Every single day of my life, I wish I had not let him do veneers, which had cost me my entire life savings. He may be a good dentist for other things, but artistic dentistry is certainly not his forte, but he doesn’t know this. If your instincts tell you that he may not be the one to do this kind of work for you, follow them, or you might hate your smile as much as I hate mine. Once you’ve spent over $ 20,000 on them, it’s extremely hard to correct a terrible mistake.

First of All, finding a Truthful Hearted Dentist that deeply cares in what
he/​she is doing as a passion, is trying to find a needle in a huge hay-​stack. It was from the Grace of Our Univeral Heavenly Keeper that
guided me to Dr. Fallah, and his phenomenal staff, Teresa, Cindy, Petra,
Cindy, & Britany.
Not only when you walk into Dr. Fallah’s place of business are you greeted, so ever kindly, but the True Peaceful Loving atmosphere of
Energy is nothing that I’ve experienced in the past at a Dentist’s Office.
From that I had a incredible consultation that lasted over 60-​min, and
Dr. Fallah explained throughout this time what had occurred what he
could see, then explained the choices I had to eliminate my problem,
and there was never any pushy, pushy. We discussed what I would like
to have happen, and the rest is history. I needed a tooth extracted to
begin with, after a major scaling. The evening of my tooth extraction,
Dr. Fallah, after hour’s mind you, called me at home to make sure that
I was doing ok, and if there was anything that he could do, or if there
was anything I needed such as pain pills… etc. He went over
my do-​not list, to make sure all of my healing was going to be done
in the best possible way. I’ve had a follow up appt. so he could check
and make sure that it was healing properly, and now I will have another
follow in a week, for a checkup on the healing. Dr. Fallah is a over
and ABOVE ANGEL on this earth, for the wonderful treatment that he
gives his patient/​clients. He also makes sure that we have his cell,
just incase we need him. No one in my 30 yrs, of going to a dentist, has
ever given such High Integrity Service, with deep compassion than this man. It is with deep gratitude I have for Dr. Fallah and his Staff, for making my life healthier and happier.
Much Blessings and The Best In All Aspects In Life.

Dr. Fallah is the best!!!
Dr. Fallah’s expertise in cosmetic dentistry made the difference in regenerating my not so good smile done by a different dentist. He placed a total of eight crowns on the upper jaw of which three crowns were placed on implants and the others on overworked tooth.
The overall results are outstanding — please see two photos added by AF on July 9, 2012. I was not paid or asked by Dr. Fallah to add these photos. I solely added them for Unilocal users to see Dr. Fallah’s work from «actual» patients.
