Heritage Oral Surgery & Implant Center

Wow, is all that I can say about Dr. Kim and staff. I came in for 4 (yes 4) wisdom teeth removal and they took great case of me from the very start. Initial consultation was simple and they made sure that my prescriptions were taken care of prior to surgery; that my medications were ready so that I would not have to get them after the surgery when I would be in tremendous pain.
On the day of the surgery, Dr. Kim told me everything he was going to do before they put me out. He was totally caring and gentle even with the exam to see if everything was ok before they knocked me out.
When I woke up from the procedure, Kaitlin was there to check on me and made sure that I was ready to go home. That night, Dr. Kim called to check on me (that’s service) to make sure that my medications were working. Yes, the area hurts but the process was very painless. If you’re looking to do this, Dr. Kim at Heritage is definitely the place to go.

Thank you Dr. Kim and staffs. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They are the nicest pleasant, and doctor to be with. Very caring and thorough. I literally didn’t feel anything after 4 extractions. And I also have 4 implants. Dr. Kim is really an expert in his field. All my procedure and post op was handled efficiently and professionally. I understood my billing options and it was clear. There were no surprises.
Thank You Dr. Kim

I love this place. My son had to get his wisdom teeth pulled and they were excellent. He had hardly any swelling the next day and no pain. They were very nice to him all the way through. ¹¹⁄₁₀ would recommend!!!

First of all, this place is so clean and people are very friendly and helpful. I feel good as soon as I stepped in the office.
I just had my wisdom teeth taken out by Dr. Kim about three weeks ago. I was so petrified of getting any kinds of surgeries in the past. But Dr. Kim made it stress free and pain free experience. I couldn’t believe that he was able to take all the worry out of me during this whole experience. I didn’t feel any pain during the surgery, and I didn’t feel much pain after the surgery as well. He even called me to check on me the day I got the surgery. Dr. Kim is absolutely one of the BEST in the industry. I highly recommend him to anyone.

I was meaning to write an update months ago, but completely forgot all about it until I came on to write another review today.
Back in my previous post, I talked about their consult and charges. Because of the miscommunication/​misunderstanding from the staff to me, they gave me my refund of what I paid. ***It was the company in Canoga Park that called me by the way***
I’m giving them a 5 star not because of the refund, but because they saw a problem that needs to be addressed. She also provided insight for me about consults that allowed me to understand it better. I honestly appreciated it. I truly appeared as if they were genuine about this mistake and wanting to prevent it in the future.

Needing to have oral surgery performed wasn’t my first choice of things to do, but when it’s needed it’s great to be able to rely on a a dental office that is the best around.
Great attention is paid to the patient. I would recommend them to anyone needing major dental work.

I was referred to Dr. Kim by my regular dentist for an implant. I used to be a dental office manager, so I knew my regular dentist would send me to the best and he did. Dr. Kim is an excellent oral surgeon. At age 46, I still had a baby tooth that never fell out. The adult tooth was lodged in my bone and had to be extracted before an implant could be placed. Dr, Kim removed the lodged tooth (no simple task) & did bone grafting to prep for the implant. Not the most exciting or inexpensive procedures, to say the least. If there was any way to make this experience less painful despite the 10 month time-​frame and cost, this office made that happen. Dr. Kim is kind, patient & thorough, and his staff is wonderful. The ladies who run the front desk & assisted in surgery are very personable and efficient. Some of them go above and beyond every time I’m in the office. Lisa is the best. She’s friendly, extremely organized and a novice at coordinating insurance benefits. The office is one I would refer any family member or friend to. I am grateful to Dr. Kim for giving me back my old smile!

Absolute best dentist experience ever here!
I had to get a last minute impacted wisdom tooth extraction and was referred here. Robin at the front desk gave me first class service. I’m a college student at UC Berkeley and my insurance doesn’t kick in til August, but I had to have my tooth removed before that. Robin assumed «mom» role and kindly walked me thru how to contact my insurance or utilize other payment options; this was SO helpful since I’m a young adult and this is all new to me. She assured me we’d hopefully figure something out, and made the process so easy for me.
The rest of the staff was wonderful as I got X-​Rays. Dr. Lang then explained to me how my tooth was horizontally impacted, and answered every question and concern I had with perfect detail. On the day of my surgery, I opted not to be asleep because it was too expensive for me (which I now regret). I only did local anesthesia, and was warned I may feel some pressure. Mid-​way through the surgery I broke down in tears, groans and shakes because the pain and pressure was horribly intense. Dr. Lang immediately stopped the surgery, and he and his assistants worked together to soothe me and talk me through the pain and ask me what was wrong so they could fix it. This even happened a couple more times, and he had to keep shooting me up with the local, but he was so patient and kind. He did everything possible to make sure I wasn’t in pain, and after several more shots, I was fine and he could finish the extraction. I’ve heard horror stories and experienced dentists who ignore you and keep going, telling you to «push through» the excruciating pain, but not Dr. Lang. He was so awesome, and even afterwards, so encouraging, assuring me that I did great. Communication is key, and from start to finish, Dr. Lang and everyone I spoke to in this office listened to, assessed and executed my needs perfectly.
All of the assistants that helped during my procedure were awesome as well — Angie, and a younger gentleman with a beard. Also, the entire office is so clean and beautiful. Although getting impacted wisdom tooth surgery without being asleep sucked, they made my experience so wonderful!!! Thank you so much, Dr. Lang and amazing staff!!!

When my son (very) traumatically fell teeth-​first at 8pm on a Sunday night, we were (of course) desperate to find an emergency dentist to help us, as his teeth were pushed up into his gums and between that and the bleeding, it was horrifying! (Sorry, TMI) — Anyway our regular dentist (Dr. Kathy Siu, who is ALSO amazing) got us in touch with Dr. Kim. He was SO calm, asked me to text pictures of our son’s mouth to him, and once he saw them, told us to meet him at the office. Dr. Kim showed up. AND a nurse (Zulema) AND his office manager (Robin). This was 9pm on a Sunday night — I was SO VERY GRATEFUL to them for going above and beyond the call of duty, and for subsequently getting our son in for a procedure the first thing in the morning. Dr. Kim went on to do a masterful job extracting our son’s 3 front teeth (baby teeth thank God) and saving a 4^th tooth. Our son felt FINE within hours of the procedure and now we’re just waiting for the permanent teeth to grow in. We were absolutely PANICKED about his injury and Dr. Kim and his staff were our saviors. I can’t speak highly enough about their entire office.

Wanted to share that the staff and Dr. Lang are amazing! My teen son had (4) wisdom teeth extracted and let’s just say it wasn’t like it was 30 years ago for me! WOW. Everything was on time, the preparation we did prior was spot on, too. His recovery was the most impressive. We had all the meds we needed and following everything we had minimal pain and swelling. Nothing like the olden days! The follow up was thorough and kind. Dr. Lang even called us HIMSELF on the evening of the procedure. All in all, great job, great care — HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Was referred to this shop by Copperhill Family Dentistry. I have no idea how this place has 5-​stars. The receptionist was rude and snarky on the phone. I’m calling in regards to paying CASH for an extraction. I was treated like I was calling in asking for a favor.
God forbid I don’t have insurance and am in the unfortunate situation of needing an emergency wisdom tooth extraction. Trust me, I’m not calling your company because I’m having a great day. A little common courtesy goes a really long way.
This review is not based on the staff as far as dentist (s)/Oral Surgeon’s are considered, I’m sure they’re great. But their front end staff needs to be trained on being a human being and how to talk to people who are willing to spend a few thousand dollars cash at the drop of a hat for dental care.
1 star is too many for the service I got, majorly disappointed.

Thank you Dr. Kim and staff. I literally didn’t feel anything after 4 extractions. Dr. Kim is really an expert in his field. My procedure and post op was handled efficiently and professionally. I understood my billing options and it was clear how much insurance would pay. There were no surprises. I would recommend them to anyone needing wisdom teeth removed.

First class treatment and service everytime. You know exactly what your co payments are and there are no surprises. They are patient friendly and professional.

I cannot recommend this team enough. Dr. Lang performed my wisdom teeth extractions and my experience was the complete opposite of what I had originally thought it would be. Little to no swelling, pain free, and I could eat the next day!
Dr. Lang did an amazing job and I don’t think anyone should ever consider going anywhere else! My friend recommended Dr. Lang’s office, and now I can recommend him! My brothers are now going to go here to get their wisdom teeth extracted as well.

My dentist referred me to this office to get a molar removed and start the process for a bone graft + dental implant. I was scheduled with Dr. Samouhi and was 100% happy with the whole process, start to finish. Two years later, Dr. Samouhi extracted my teenager daughter’s wisdom teeth, and two years after that, he removed my son’s.

I am a Registered Nurse, and had to have all of my lower teeth removed. I was dreading the procedure as I do not deal well with pain… I had nothing to fear. Dr. Samouhi and his staff were there for me at every turn. Dr. Samouhi is an excellent surgeon, and he is also very caring and kind. His staff always responded to my needs immediately. Every time I went into the office I was greeted by name and asked how I was doing… and given kind encouragement. I felt like they all cared about me, and trust me, I work with doctors every day… this is a rare thing this day in age. I would highly recommend this office, and I want to thank Dr. Samouhi for his compassionate and understanding care, during and long after the surgery. The front and back office staff are professional, knowledgable, and most importantly, they care. This office is one of the best I have ever experienced, both in my personal life and in my work as a Nurse. I will never go anywhere else for my oral surgery needs. Dr. Samouhi is the BEST! Erin A. RN, CCM

There aren’t enough stars here! I cannot recommend this facility and their team enough. We have had experience here with both routine extractions with Dr. Lang and later with a facial fracture where we saw Dr. Samouhi. They went above and beyond in every way to make the experience less traumatic for both child and mom. Given that wisdom tooth removal is in our future, I would not even consider going anywhere else. And their whole support team is amazing, especially Lisa!

Amazing service from Dr. Lang and his team. Had a tooth extracted and received a followup call from Dr. Lang making sure everything went well and was going well. First time I had a doctor followup after a procedure like this. Dr. Lang’s team was awesome as well. The office was very organized and staff was very easy to deal with. I would recommend this office to anyone who needs an oral surgeon.
