Maurice K Masliah, DDS

Been searching for years, for a dentist that could provide some type of treatment that would stop, what was causing so much pain in my jaws. Was informed from the dentist that this pain was due to grinding my teeth while asleep, which caused my teeth wear down a great deal. Also my bite collapsed somewhat, causing constant pain in my jaws. I was told by several dentist to wear a TMJ appliance, or snap on smile, which while wearing, the fixtures were difficult to function with. Continued to search online for help, found Dr. Masliah, made an appointment, and explained the problem to him. He knew exactly what to do, to correct this issue. After reviewing my X rays, my teeth were lengthened and bonded with veneers. My bite was opened, within 2 to 3 hours. Have not experienced any TMJ pain since, and it’s been over a year. Able to eat, and function without pain, and you can see my teeth, when smiling now. Very satisfied with the results. The whole staff is professional and friendly. Highly recommend Dr. Masliah, he’s knowledgeable, understanding, and very pleasant.

I have been coming to this office for probably more than 20 years now, long before it was Dr. Masliah’s. Adrienne has always taken the best care of my teeth, even though I don’t, but I’m sure all the hygienists are great. Over the past two years I’ve needed more dental care, and Dr. Masliah did a great job on my crown and tooth guard. But what prompted me to write this review was that, sadly, I took a terrible face plant on the sidewalk recently and broke a tooth. I left a message on Dr. Masliah’s line from the ER in the middle of the night, and by the next Monday I was in the dental chair getting a temporary cap that, miraculously, looks just like my tooth. Dr. Masliah explained very clearly what the future may hold for this tooth. All the staff were wonderful and attentive. I definitely left the office feeling better, and had my smile back. Parking hint: parking in the building is not cheap, but sometimes, if the parking gods are with you, you can get metered parking along San Vicente Boulevard.

Dr. Masliah is the absolute best dentist I have gone to. He is great with his work and I love the work he has done on my teeth. I have been going to his practice for 5 years or so now and I had routine work done and I had Invisalign done with his. What I loved the most about Dr. Masliah is that he takes the time to explain to me the issues I had, the procedures he will be doing to correct these issues, and the timeline of the process. It was nice to have general conversation with him about current events and my career as well. It is not only Dr. Masliah who is amazing at his practice, but rather all the staff is. From Maureen who usually cleans my teeth to Sandra and Linda at the main desk, and to everyone else whose name I can’t remember right now. All in all Dr. Masliah’s practice is a great place to call «my dentist’s office».

Dr. Masliah is a step above most dentists with regard to his attention to detail and meticulous skill. He’s also very professional and straightforward when it comes to the business end. Cosmetic outcomes look very natural. Books of his work in the waiting area demonstrate years of experience in that department as well. Great experience overall.

Dr Masliah has been my dentist for about 12 years, but prior to that, I had a HUGE fear of dentists and pain. So much so that I avoided them and consequently I needed lots of work when I arrived. The first time we spoke he assured me that I was in the right place and that he would not let me feel any pain. Still true to this day! I have always been grateful I found him, and I actually stayed his patient when he moved from Miracle Mile to Brentwood. It takes me much longer to get there but I dont care, its totally worth it! I have had several root canals, crowns, and bridges done. It took well over a year to complete but if you saw the before and after you would agree that he isn’t just a dentist, he is also an artist! This is not a cut-​rate dental office, it is state of the art dentistry with a very cool team. You get what you pay for. I agree with the other Unilocal review about the high cost of parking in his building (if you spend 2 hours it’ll cost about $ 16 ouch) meter parking doesn’t cover my longer visits, so I use the garage to avoid a ticket. If you are bargain shopping for dentists, it’s a factor and something to think about I suppose. I don’t want «cheap» dentistry I want «the best», so I’ll look for ways to save a buck elsewhere, but my dental work needs to be top notch with someone that I trust. No one likes going to the dentist but this is as close as it gets.

Dr. Masliah is the best dentist ever. I shopped around a lot before I finally asked one of my grilfriends with amazing teeth. He doesn’t give you procedures you don’t need (another dentist tried to make me do excessive unnecessary treatments). Dr. Masliah is also a fantastic invisalign dentist. I get compliments on my teeth all the time because of Dr. Masliah.
I’ve since moved away from LA, but make it a point to see Dr. Masliah when I come to town.

I absolutely adore Dr. Masliah and his staff. I have never felt in more capable hands (with my oft in need of attendance mouth) than here. They put you completely at ease, are so friendly, yet completely professional and efficient. I have to say that I recommend Dr. Masliah to my friends more often than I recommend restaurants and activities. I have never even written a Unilocal review before, but just felt compelled to share!

Dr. Masliah is the dentist to see if you need some cosmetic work done and are unhappy with your teeth and/​or your smile. I had dental work done years ago and they have more than paid for themselves.

When my dentist, Dr. Quon, retired last year I freaked out. I’ve had some bad dental experiences in the past and I was so sad that the one decent dentist I found was going to leave. I begged her not to retire — I told her she was too young to go but she just laughed at me. I even gave her successor a try but that was a terrible experience. So there I was, lost and looking for a new dentist on the internet.
My requirements were simple — the dentist must be experienced; the hours must suit my work schedule; and the dentist must be located at either 11 600 Wilshire or 11 645 Wilshire (I work at 11 601 Wilshire). And that’s when I found Dr. Masliah.
Let’s be honest here, most of us go to the dentist for routine semiannual checkups. 90% of our interaction is with a dental hygienist and the dentist only comes by at the end of the cleaning or when something goes wrong. My dental hygienist at Dr. Masliah’s office is the best I’ve ever met. She’s so quick and gentle, I can barely feel a thing. It also helps that they play a video while you’re getting your teeth cleaned. Last time, I took a half hour tour of Sicily while sitting in that chair.
Dr. Masliah himself is very friendly and actually listens to your concerns. I told him that my jaw popped and he examined it. He also asked about my experience with braces and we talked about possibly doing Invisalign in the future. Seriously, if you’re looking for a dentist in this area, Dr. Masliah is an excellent choice.

I have been a patient of Dr. Masliah’s for 1 and ½ years. My first crown seemed fine for a year. Then, the pain started so i went in. It turns out, the glue did not make a full seal and my tooth was rotting underneath the crown. It was so bad, i had to get a root canal and a new crown. Doc said there must’ve been moisture under the glue when it was applied. It killed my tooth. Since it seemed to me that it was their fault, I complained, so they ONLY charged me $ 1200 for the new crown. I had to pay full price $ 1500 for the root canal.
I would NOT recommend this dentist.

This is the first time I’ve ever written a review for anything. I found Dr. Masliah when I moved to LA. Cleanings have been great, and I also got fantastic veneers done to replace old bonds that I have. I couldn’t be happier! He has a great eye for making sure the end result is very natural.
Also, I recently had a minor dental emergency while under the care of Dr. Masliah, and he went above and beyond to make sure that I was taken care of right away.
The entire staff is great, and I highly recommend Dr. Masliah for any cosmetic dentistry or cleanings!

I have been a patient of Dr. Masliah’s for many years now and cannot recommend him highly enough. Look, no one likes going to the dentist. It sucks. It’s definitely on my top 10 list of things that I hate. But you’ve gotta do it, and if you’ve gotta do it at least you can go to a dentist who is warm, friendly and caring. Dr. Masliah is all these things. I always enjoy seeing him when I go into the office. Not only is he nice, but I have total confidence in his work. All of the dental work I’ve had done, including Invisalign, has been quality work that didn’t cause me any trouble after the fact.
The staff in the office are similarly wonderful. From the receptionists to the dental assistants, each and every one of them is fantastic. Over the years I’ve gotten to know them and truly enjoy catching up with them when I go in for a cleaning.
The only bummer about this practice is that parking in Brentwood is a pain. Parking in the building is very expensive, so you’ll want to grab a spot on the street. Avoid coming here on Thursday and Friday when there’s street cleaning and thus fewer parking spots. Look for a meter up on San Vicente.
