Green Dental & Orthodontics

Staff are professional and very helpful. No waiting with appointment. Tatyana is an excellent hygienist– always does a thorough cleaning and is very friendly. Dr. Azizi is experienced and won’t recommend unnecessary procedures like many other dental offices I’ve visited before. Awesome facility.

Yesterday I went to green dental to have two teeth extracted and may I say I have never ever left a dental office not having any pain the same day or the next day. Dr. Abed gave me several shots so I don’t feel anything and usually you feel a pinch from the needle but amazingly I didn’t even feel that. He knows things that every dentist doesn’t know. He is the best at giving shots. Today is the second day from having my teeth pulled out and I have no pain at all and I am not taking any medications. Thank you so much Dr Abed you truly are an amazing dentist !!!

Dr. Abed was great!!! I had a really bad cavity (that was potentially already past the filling stage and would need a root canal). However, Dr. Abed made sure to do everything he could to save the tooth with just a filling and so far so good! It’s only been a couple days but so far I don’t feel any pain. He was great while doing the filling, too. I didn’t feel anything, even when he was doing the numbing shots! He and the the assistant (I didn’t catch his name) were very funny and engaging so it kept me distracted from thinking about the drill in my mouth haha. They played a game where they tried to guess what names I was mumbling. It worked, cuz I hardly thought about what was going on. Also the dentist office was great overall. I don’t have dental insurance so I was paying out of pocket to get this fixed and they worked with me so that I could afford it! Overall, great!!!

This place has scarred me for life and caused trauma to me physically, mentally and emotionally. I had never had bad experiences from dentists in the past as I had always seen trustworthy dentists that cared about a patient long term and were not trying to scam them into thinking they needed procedures they did not need. I came into Green Dental with a loose filling with some minor irritation but I walked out with the worst pain I had ever experienced in my life that lasted for 4 – 5 months after they never fixed me but made everything worse and worse saying I needed more and more treatment. I had moved to Los Angeles and didn’t have a local dentist so I found them but stupidly did not check the Unilocal reviews that were terrible. They told me I needed a root canal which I am young with very healthy gums and my x-​rays had no signs of needed a root canal I later found out from several other dentists consulation me after this horrible ordeal. I felt violated, manipulated and worst of all received permanent damage to my teeth that I will never be the same from. I had to seek alternative dental care after a botched absolutely unnecessary root canal and they drilled down 2 of my perfect teeth that did not need any treatment just to have a filling filed down or repaired. After the first root canal they had exposed the adjacent tooth after drilling it down way too far I had root pain from an exposed root and they told me I needed another root canal and only offered me advil for the horrendous pain that kept me up all night. They saw I had good insurance and scammed me and my insurance out of thousands and thousands of dollars once they had me in their chair I had to work with my insurance to help me get out of this dentist and to someplace safe. Luckily my insurance went after them and got me some of the money back because they had violated me and messed up so bad the insurance could not deny it. I originally went to this place with minor irritation when I went to them but they damaged my mouth and caused me unbelievable pain that almost left me hospitalized because it had lasted 4 – 5 months as they continued to only make it worse. They had made me 2 crowns that did not fit and my bite was completely off and a second dentist said the crowns were so poorly made they did not fit properly that it exposed my nerve they had drilled down and I would need to pay for new crowns bc my insurance may not cover it. I had no choice to find a new place and pay out of pocket and wait for my insurance to get involved because I was in so much pain I was starting to be effected in all other areas of my life and became extremely depressed because of this chronic pain Dr. Farzan Alamirad had put me in and only made worse every-​time I had to go back to try to fix it. I had to get another dentist I had to find to trust again to make me new crowns. Dr. Farzan Alamirad manipulated me into believing I needed a root canal and his bed side manor was horrible. He had made me trust him but every time I had to go back because of extreme severe pain he told me it was nothing or that it was my fault or to «go have a glass of wine and sit in a bath tube». He is a crook and must be a sadist for putting me in the worst pain I have experienced. He is THE WORST dentist that should not be practicing. It was clear to after my experience I was a victim of his and that he was only there to make as much money off his patients with treatments they did not need. I was a sitting duck as I had before this experience always trusted my dentists and other medical professionals. I found a different dentist that had confirmed all my beliefs and helped me get through this horrible experience. I had to seek several other dentists help and consultations to finish the botched work that Dr. Farzan Alamirad had done to me. I know without a doubt what happened to me was wrong after my insurance and other dentists had seen my case. This terrible office would not even give me my x-​rays. They had been so shady all along and I just was too trusting at first to see it. Because of them I now am paranoid with every medical professional I see and they caused severe trauma to me physically, mentally and emotionally. I hope this posting helps others to never go to this place and please question your dentists in the future. You do not have to do what they tell you because they are a scam. Find a dentist that cares about your health and caring for you to prevent problems. I know for a fact this place has had constant law suits and just has to pay them off and scam innocent victims.

Great Office :) all the staff is great I came here for a crown and it was at a reasonable price they helped me with payment options since money is tight now and days. Thanks Green Dental :)

This place is very clean and the people seem to know what they are doing. The price is also great and they give you a discount if you have medi-​cal. Unfortunately they don’t cover through them but they’re price is really great for new patients. I had extensive x rays and a teeth cleaning all for about 85 bucks. The reason I am taking the time to review this place in the first place is because of the dental hygienist that cleaned my teeth. I get very anxious due to the noises the tools make sense I have PTSD and so I need to have nitrous oxide (the laughing gas) Tatiana (The hygienist) Made me feel extremely comfortable, she was gentle, and did a really thorough job. At the end of the visit we talked more about my PTSD and why I needed the laughing gas and she was genuinely curious and sympathetic. When I went to pay she had asked the manager if they could take some money off of the laughing gas since it is so expensive. I received a great discount thanks so her. That is not why I am speaking so highly of her though that is only one of the many things she did to make me feel comfortable and happy with my experience. I will definably be going back and will be asking for her. (The only reason this has 4 starts instead of 5 is because it took a long time for me to get in the back.(approx. an hour– due to issues on the computer with entering my new patient information mostly.) The front desk was friendly enough.

It was easy to get an appointment
The staff was professional and friendly.
The doctor spent enough time with me.

No complaints here! The staff is extremely friendly and works well together to create a comfortable atmosphere. They definitely make me feel like VIP every time I visit their office. I would definitely recommend this office to family, friends, and even strangers, why not!

TL;DR Version:
Unprofessional staff, inappropriate dentist, bait-​and-​switch for veneers. Want more? Scroll down.
******************************************************************************************************
Had to check my records, but this visit occurred 9÷02÷14. I decided to write this review now that I’ve been to a few other dentists (some good, some bad, check out the other reviews). With dental insurance being almost nil, we Angelenos often have to pay out of pocket or use coupons, and it’s helpful to narrow down businesses that are above board.
2 stars go to the hygienist and the front office staff, who were very respectful and friendly, and they didn’t mess my teeth up (can’t believe I have to use that as a pro) .
I’d be wary of the positive reviews here. I’m not calling the patients liars, but I just don’t believe ‘em. I also don’t believe when the business claims negative reviewers were never patients. If they say this about me, BS.
Went here on a mailed coupon that turned out to be a bait-​and-​switch for veneers. I might as well have been on a timeshare pitch. Like so many other businesses in LA, this office is very flashy and up-​to-​date, but there’s very little substance, and this includes *some* of the charlatans who «work» there.
I regret not writing down the male dentist’s name who kept his hand on my shoulder a little too long and said I «passed his test» looks-​wise. Are you effin’ kidding me? I was then left in the chair for 30 minutes until a veneer saleswoman came in. At this point I got out of the chair, stuck my head in the hallway and said, «I’m just here for a cleaning, and instead I’m listening to a sales pitch?» Within minutes a very polite and thorough hygienist came in to give me a cleaning. So thankfully it ended well, but man, I’ll never go back. Perhaps they’re cleaning up their act; for their sake, I hope so.

I came here because I live right next door and I am glad I did. It is easy to get an appointment, the staff is great, you don’t wait long and if you do wait they have snacks, coffee and water. The dentists are great and very knowledgeable. My entire family comes here now. They are wonderful with children. I would definitely recommend coming here if you need a dentist.

The staff at Green Dental are very professional and caring. They took me in as soon as I walked inside the facility. Marine the receptionist/​office manager walked me through the application process and I had x-​rays done just waiting for a half hour. A half hour without an appointment. Marine helped work out a finance plan that fit my budget and educated me on the importance of why I should care for my teeth. They have top of the line technology and were very sensitive people that helped take care of me. I felt I could trust the staff even though I hate going to the dentist from past experiences. Excellent office and customer service. The dentist explained everything wrong and what they planned on doing step by step. Highly recommended to friends and family!

I went with my friend for her dental appointment as she was scared to go by herself. The staff was very nice and funny and they made her feel very comfortable. The receptionist and the gentleman were all jokes and talking to the clients like they have known them for years. There was a point where we forgot we were at a dental office. From the time we got there to when we were about to leave we felt like we’ve been coming here for a long time instead of the first time. The back staff was very pleasant and friendly. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for a dentist that cares.

Several years ago, I had veneers done by Dr. Grace Sun in Hollywood and it was a nightmare. I paid her office around $ 18k for veneers, many of which leaked and fell off. Financially strapped and with a mouth that looked like a homeless person’s, I came to Green Dental hoping that they could fix my dental problems well and cheaply.
Green Dental offered me 6 veneers and gum contouring for just under $ 7k, to be paid in advance. I showed them pictures of what I wanted my teeth to look like, and they assured me that they could do it.
Everything was fine until the veneers came in from the lab. Unfortunately, they didn’t look like what I wanted or like the pictures I’d shown them. The veneers weren’t terrible, but they looked very generic. The dentist sent them back to the lab, but when I came in for my next appointment, they were exactly the same. We kept sending them back to the lab, but they weren’t getting much closer to what I wanted and what we’d initially agreed on. I don’t remember how many appointments we had regarding the shape, but I think it was somewhere between 5 and 10. Finally the dentist started seeming frustrated with me and I lost my faith in Green Dental. I gave up and decided to get a new dentist for the veneers (believe me, this was painful financially after what I’d been through already with Dr. Sun).
When I left, I didn’t get any of my money back, and I couldn’t even get the x-​rays I had paid for there despite multiple requests to different people.
Overall, I would say if you’re happy with pretty generic veneers at a good price, you might be happy with Green Dental. But if you want a shape that’s more unique, you might want to go to a dentist that makes a wax mock-​up of the veneers before they are made (that you can accept or reject in advance) and models your temporary teeth on the mock-​up. That way there are fewer surprises when the actual veneers that will be placed in your mouth are made.

I am a returning patient to this office and there is a reason why. From my first time coming to this office, i had a great experience which had left me astonished with all the dedicated work I, as a patient recieved. My treatment plan was layed out to me by Rafael, who offered me many options and opportunities to choose from, which tells me the office is truly responsible about patient care. The most amazing hygienist I have had in my life, Tatyana, has the most amazing touch with her hands, i did not feel a thing! I will deffinatly recommend this office to my family and friends!

Highly recommend this place.
While I was in LA visiting I chipped a tooth and a friend of mine recommended me the dentists at this office. I called in and the receptionist mar was very helpful and able to fit me in right away.
I have to say it was a quick and easy experience and I would recommend them highly.

Stay away! Very VERY shady. So much so that I filed a complaint with the Dental Board of California. I may post the details of their nefarious & fraudulent dealings later but here’s really all you need to know:
A young «newbie» gave me a quick once-​over, obvious that he lacked much experience as I had to tell him that I had a cracked molar to which he responded, «Oh yea, now I see it.»
I had absolutely zero work done there (NONE!) & yet they billed me (through the lending company HC Processing Center) for aprox. $ 4300 of work that they never performed. I repeat: I received absolutely NO services from Green Dental. I only went there for an exam because I received their flyer in the mail that advertised «Free Initial Exam».
Anyway I refused (of course) to pay even though HC Processing threatened me with collections, etc… you know how it is when a corporation decides you owe them money, you’re just a data entry at that point. Needless to say, my credit rating has fallen 42 points so far thanks to their fraud, extortion, and nefarious M.O. The pledge «Thou shall do no harm.» seems to have been lost on this group of doctors.
In summary, I can equate my experience at Green Dental with that of buying a used car somewhere just outside of Vegas… from a guy with wing-​tipped cowboy boots… and there is no car.

Highly recommend this place. A friend of mine recommended this place to me. I called & made an appointment, they were able to give me an appointment according to my work schedule so everything was going good, I went in & the office is super clean very nice, a pleasant greeting from the girls up front. Well to make this long story short I ended up getting an implant I was soo scared, but they were able to keep me calm through out the whole process, they are very caring & at the end everything came out perfect, something I was not expecting but to my surprise the best dental experience ever !! Will be coming here from now on & will definitely bring family members.
Huge thanks to the financial man Rafael he definitely helped me making my payments easy very easy I would say !! Thank you soo much Green Dental & orthodontics I truly appreciate it.

I had an issue with cancellation of a treatment, however Sonia (the manager) helped me out. She handled everything professionally.

I went to Green Dental a few years ago after a period of not seeing a dentist for a long time. I ended up needed two crowns and one root canal.
Immediately following the crowns I complained that something didn’t seem right. I was still in pain and the crowns didn’t fit with my teeth. They had created huge food pockets. I continued to go to Green Dental for the following year, continuing to express that I had discomfort and that I thought something was wrong. The dentist was extremely dismissive and kept saying its fine.
Finally I switched dentists because I was sick of being ignored, not to mention sick of having him try to shove cosmetic surgeries like veneers down my throat. I learned that not only were the crowns beyond shoddy work, but that the one I had complained about the most would actually now need a root canal.
Long story short, I wasted thousands of dollars along with time in agonizing pain at Green Dental. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Save your self– don’t ever go here.

The dentist emailed me personally, after I wrote a bad review, to inform me that the «shady» dentist was no longer employed there and to give them another try.
After going back for an exam and cleaning, they recommended a crown/​root canal on a tooth that has been confirmed by other dentists.
The staff was friendly and the building was bright. Even the lady who cleaned my teeth was much nicer this time around.
As of yet I haven’t decided where to get my tooth fixed at. It’s not overly painful, so I feel the need to shop around. The price (including an Endodontist) that Green Dental offered was very reasonable, however I believe with my insurance that I could still save more.
Hesitant to give more stars because of my experience more than a year ago with a different doctor. The staff and doctor I met deserve at least 4 stars, but the previous régime brings them down for now.
