Smiles By Dr Shawn

Very caring, very friendly and never had such a pleasant experience before

Amazing dentist. I can’t say enough about him and his staff. They really took the time and energy to address all of our needs.

Dr. Shaun Hosseini works miracles! I’m 39 and needed my first root canal last Tuesday. I experienced no pain and the surgery went perfect! All of the staff are very friendly and professional. I will always have my dental work performed by Dr. Hosseini.

When I went on Medicare and had to change my dentist I was nervous and felt very unsure. But I went for my first appointment with Dr. H and was VERY pleasantly surprised! He is thorough, very competent and, most important, gentle! I have seen him now 4 times and each time has been a positive experience. He is very friendly and talks with you as if he’s known you for years. I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone who wants a really good dentist.

My family is picky about dentists. We went through two other dentists before we found Dr. Shawn. We love Dr. Shawn for several reasons.
Awesome, Accommodating Staff:
His staff is always friendly. They work very well with our kids, and go out of their way to schedule overlapping appointments so we can get our whole family seen at once. (We have 4 kids.)
Dr. Shawn Actually Cares:
The first time Dr. Shawn did a cleaning for me, he noticed a little flinch when he was going over a particular spot. He pointed out I had worn that portion of my tooth down with aggressive brushing and offered to build it back up on-​the-​spot. I’ve never had another dentist offer something like that or warn me that I was brushing too aggressively. He added some material to replace what I’d worn away and my tooth isn’t as sensitive. He’s helped me adjust my habits so my teeth won’t wear out as quickly.
He was the first dentist to notice that my amalgam fillings were worn out. (They were about 10 years overdue to be replaced.) He did an excellent job replacing them. The new fillings are a perfect match to the surrounding tooth. He took extra care to ensure my bite lined up perfectly. After the procedure he offered to inject a Novocain reversal agent so I could go about my day without slurring.
Dr. Shawn’s a Nice Guy:
He has a great attitude. He enjoys his work, and enjoys connecting with his patients. And he has a great sense of humor. For example, I wanted to take some silly selfies while he was replacing my fillings. Not only was he cool with it, he offered to take the pics for me so I could get the shot I wanted.
It’s nice working with nice people.

While going to the dentist is not always what you may want to do, it is an essential part of maintaining a healthy smile and body. Dr Shawn has a great staff and he is very gentle. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks!

I was briefly a patient of Dr. Shawn when he took over the practice from my previous dentist, which was about two years ago. At that time, I went in for a cleaning, and everything went smoothly. He and the staff were perfectly pleasant and there were no billing issues with my insurance.
However, I have not returned since and I do not plan to. You see, I had just spent more than two years on InvisAlign and I felt fabulous about my smile. My teeth were strong, healthy, straight, and gap-​free. But on the first visit, Dr. Shawn recommended that I continue to «fix» my teeth by replacing the silver-​colored fillings I had for clear ones, an entirely aesthetic procedure that would have to be paid out-​of-​pocket. In addition, he was unable to provide me with a specific quote, and instead gave me a ballpark per filling and an approximate number of fillings. (In my mind, multiplying a ballpark figure by an approximate number of fillings ranges from reasonable to stupid expensive.) In short, I felt as though he was trying to sell me something I didn’t need, which is not really a quality I look for in a dentist.

This kind of service and professionalism is hard to find these days. I have had some fairly extensive work done over the past few years and am very happy with the results. Let’s face it, going to the dentist rates somewhere around going to the dmv in terms of things you just don’t want to do. The atmosphere and service here make it much easier. Thanks Dr. Hosseini and staff.

Dr. Shawn is excellent. He does a fantastic job cleaning my teeth and is always gentle. Plus, he is a nice guy. His staff is also very kind and polite. Dr. Shawn has given me a couple filling and replaced two of my partner’s front teeth. All the work turned out beautiful. I highly recommend Dr. Shawn to anyone! He makes the dentist a very pleasant experience.

I took my 5 year old to Dr. Shawn’s office in Westlake. It was her first dentist appointment ever! She had a full exam, a cleaning & sealants for 4 molars. Dr. Shawn knows exactly how to interact with children and make them feel safe and comfortable. She always ask me when she can go back for another «invisible toothbrush.»
Thank you Dr. Shawn and your amazing staff!

I came in for dental visit and a cleaning with HMO coverage, and I left with a $ 5,000 estimate and no time to do cleaning. Come later, and I’ll give you an antimicrobial wash for $ 75.00.

Dr. Shawn and his staff in both locations (Woodland Hills and Thousand Oaks) are amazing! They are all competent, compassionate, respectful,
helpful, and kind! My daughters go to him. My oldest just had her wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Shawn, they all made a very scary, anxiety ridden experience a positive one for both my daughter and myself! I cannot recommend them enough! I only wish I could give them more than 5 stars.

I reviewed Dr. Hosseini’s other location, but I wanted to say something here as well, since I had a follow up visit at this location. I usually hate going to the dentist, but Dr. Hosseini made it as easy as possible. When I got there, I only had to wait about five minutes. I thought I had a cavity, but it turns out everything was fine, and he didn’t try to convince me that I needed a crown or something (like other dentists I’ve been to). I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
