A Beautiful Smile Dental Center

All the people saying he’s a scammer is a lie, I went In and told me what needed to be done and how much it would come out, I unfortunately didn’t have the money to do all the work that needed to be done, when to a different dentist and was told the same thing just waaayyyy more expensive, and way more work than what Dr. Fahr said was gonna be done, the staff and doctor were so friendly and willing to help out financially.

i am disgusted with this doctor. i started coming here because they have an employee who does store visits to different businesses to offer their services and the benefits. so i decided to try it.
horrible… all they want is your money. my braces he only put them in the front teeth not even all the way back. people kept telling me. that its weird that i have my braces like that. because they have never seen something like this before.
its been a year already and he never ever called me to come back for an appointment. he only put my braces in the front of my teeth and only the top. he said i would need to pay 2k to do the bottom teeth. and i kept saying no.
also he kept charging my insurance for idk what. there were bills coming to my house 6 bills totaling more than 11k. i heard this from many people already. that
!!!hes a crooked doctor!!!
please dont go to him he uses any excuse to do work on you so he
can either charge you more money or charge your insurance.
and many people are filing claims against him. im doing the same thing and going to a doctor that cares and will take care of my teeth.
hes a sneaky person. and his workers are well trained for that.
no wonder when i did go his front desk assistant
kept laughing at certain things. like if she was crazy.

Brought my 9 year old son in recently as a new patient and I am so glad I gave them a try. Love this office, both dental and ortho. They are very organized, the staff is always extremely friendly. Appointments are really easy and they are very quick to get you in with any emergencies. The dentists and the orthodontist are great with the kids, gentle and help them feel at ease. Front desk staff was very nice and friendly with my husband and I.

Horrible, sneaky, dishonest not clear or apparent or what I was billed to my insurance. Pulling teeth to get actual paperwork and over priced for services when insurance sent me services statement of services used. Plus rude receptionist never again.

Very good dentist place… they are always able to acommidate my appts and the staff is very friendly.

I have not been to a dentist in about 10yrs (I know terrible) I had much anxiety about coming in but with much pushing I made it in. First impressions is everything and walking in the waiting room is very clean and neat. The staff was great and very friendly. I did not wait long, always a plus. Dr was great, very personable. Very helpful. He even went out of his way to text me to follow up with me after my root canal, reminded me to take my antibiotics. I am one satisfied patient.

Dr Fahr and crew are great. Very good service with great results. Very Nice, passionate, and always gentle with your teeth. I highly recommend them.

Dr Fahr is a great dr and his staff are wonderful. My kids, nephew, and I got our braces done here. Our results are beautiful! Dr Fahr and his staff are sweet and caring. I would recommend his service to everyone!

Great customer service! Very clean and high tech! Always has good appointment times. Elmer is my favorite :) will work with you to give you the best treatment you deserve.

Dr. Fahr and Dr. Elmer are amazing professionals. They are always there to answer any questions I may have. They have treated my family and I for over 3 years and we’ve always been satisfied. I have no reservations with them. I have and will continue to recommend their services.

You know a dentist is great when you travel 30 min to get there. This dentist was recommended to me and I have to say I am super satisfied with the service. Great personnel and they always call to remind me oft appointments in advance.

Dr. Fahr and Dr. Elmer are one of the best my family and I have ever come across. They’ve treated my family of 6 for 4 years and counting. They are not only incredible workers but incredible people. They are very helpful, understanding, and always have a positive attitude towards their clients. I would refer them to anyone without a doubt.

Dr Fahr is the biggest scheiseter (sp?) RUN away, DO NOT use this place. He messed up my crown so badly, then said he needed to laser the area around that gum to «fix» the problem. Well, the problem was with the crown work, NOT my gum. I floss all the time and my gums were perfect when I went in there. Why I let him laser the gums, I dont’ know. It’s never the been the same now, I have problems with that area now. He has you sign all these docs, every time he does something else to you, so that should have told me and been a sign right there to stop and leave. I have never had a dentist stop mid-​mouth work and have you sign more docs for the next procedure. Also, he was super rough and I had face and jaw pain for 2 wks (and tons of bleeding during his procedure, which I have NEVER experienced in having crowns for several years). He was gouging me and everything was bleeding. Sick, I know. Do not go for the great prices, it’s a total scam to get you in there. He’s terrible and will eff up your mouth royally. Very nice assistant tho! If I could put MINUS 10 stars, I would!!!

DO NOT GO HERE, IT IS A SCAM!!!
25 $ Coupon for a teeth cleaning is just to get you in the door!
They try to get you to pay $ 400 for a «deep cleaning»
The doctor lied about a cavity I didn’t have. This place should be shut down due to dishonest business practices.

This place is a JOKE. The biggest scam of my life.
I got the $ 25 coupon out of South Bay Monthly for an exam, cleaning, & Xrays. I got my Xrays taken then proceeded to sit in the chair for 30 minutes while the dentist ran late. The dentist got there, looked at my teeth, told me I had FIVE cavities, and one would possibly need a root canal. (I find this EXTREMELY hard to believe as I have only had two cavities my entire life and am an ‘avid’ brusher). He also told me that he wouldn’t NOT be doing the regular cleaning, that I needed a DEEP cleaning (because I haven’t been to a dentist in a year and a half), which costs $ 400. Oh, you can’t afford the deep cleaning?! Okay, we’ll just do the LIGHT cleaning, which is ONLY $ 85 more. KISS MY @$$.
At every dentist I’ve ever been to, you get your teeth cleaned BEFORE the dentist comes in for the exam. This place does it the other way around so they can BS you & try to take all of your money.
SO I went in, and over an hour later I came out $ 25 poorer with dirty teeth.
Also, if you ‘check in’ here in Unilocal,you get a free take-​home bleaching kit. Clearly I wanted SOMETHING out of this visit, so when I asked for it, I was told that you have to be a regular patient who visits every 3 months.
I do NOT recommend this place to ANYONE. EVER.

Cheap Ass Clean Teeth?! Count me in. After getting a coupon for a cleaning, xrays and exam for only $ 25, I figured, how bad could it be? It’s not like they are doing a root canal. But then checking other places on Unilocal,there are quite a few scary reviews for dental offices that have the word beautiful in the title. Good news — this business is not affiliated with any of the sucky ones!
+ 1 Star — Parking/​Location. Yes, it’s in the slightly ghetto part of Torrance, in the mall with WalMart and the Dollar Tree store. But at least that makes for lots of easy parking. And it’s freeway easy to get to, just off the 405 at Normandie, so you can peel rubber outta there when you are done.
+ 1 Star — Easy appointments. I called, spoke to the very sweet assistant Marilyn and got in the next day — at the time I wanted.
+ 1 Star — Bargain 1^st time offer with coupon. I really cannot believe I got my teeth cleaned for $ 25! And Xrays!
+ 1 Star — Fancy Xray machine. The technician, Alma, who was so sweet and kind, was also very swift with the lengthy Xray process. It’s stored on a digital drive now, so they take your whole mouth (argh! takes 30 minutes!) via about 16 Xrays. Very cool that it’s stored in the computer and also the no using of Xray films is better for the environment.
+ 1 Star — Clean, new. The facility seemed like it was built yesterday. I asked the assistant and she said it had been there for about 5 years (?!).
+ 1 Star — Dr. Fahr. Seems like a very nice and fair man. I have a need for a cavity to be drilled, but he understood my need to check with my other dentist (near my family home in another state) as I am uncomfortable getting such things done without some research. He also explained about some bonding work he wanted to do to protect my teeth from my grinding. But no hard sell, no impatience, nothing but information and pleasantness.
+ 1 Star — Prices. I was pleased that, as I am without dental insurance, I can get my cavity done for $ 100 (hmmm, I hope that included the cost of the pain killing shot!) and the bonding for about the same.
+ 1 Star/​–1 Star. Cleaning. Though Dr. Fahr cleaned my teeth with the scaling tool, and Alma did my polish, there was no flossing. Maybe this is not considered necessary by this office, but I think many patients need a reminder to floss.
Tips to improve:
1) Photocopy an ID. I was very surprised that they did not copy or even as to see my Driver’s license. I am honest, but maybe some people are not.
2) Send patient home with written estimate of what needs to be done. I was verbally told an estimate, but no defined list of what tooth, what price, etc.
How talented at dental work the doctor is, I don’t know at this point, but the scaling seemed expert. Overall, I felt that all the team here cared about me and were not just trying to get money out of me.
