They really took the time to listen to my concerns and made sure all my issues were addressed thoroughly. I never felt rushed, and everything was explained clearly. You can tell they genuinely care about their patients. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place that combines professionalism with excellent patient care! I’ll attach pictures of the amazing work they've done on me.

I had a very positive experience at Smile LA. If you’re looking for a dentist in DTLA, definitely check out this office. Dr. Yousefzadeh and staff were friendly, informative, and took the time to address all of my concerns and questions during my first appointment. They clearly explained my follow-up plan which made me feel really comfortable moving forward. They were also very patient, kind, and flexible with appointment scheduling, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend!
great experience! coming from a different state I found it hard to find a good reliable dentist I trust & once I found smile LA I’ve been coming ever since. Their staff are always welcoming & make me feel at home. any procedures i need done they give me the best options & try to work with me. Definitely recommend!
Dr Mora was super easy to talk to and I could tell she was very thorough. Josie did a great job on all my scans. I was legitimately impressed by how friendly and respectful the entire staff was. They get into a crazy amount of detail in their imaging which made me feel involved and confident in my treatment plan. Might cost a bit more than other dentists but it’s worth it IMO. Top class staff and equipment, nice office too.
This dental office is amazing and I highly recommend it! The entire staff is so kind and friendly. My dentist Dr. Duarte was AMAZING! She was so patient, gentle, and kind and did good work. My hygienist was great, very thorough and kind. I was scared to go to the dentist, however, this office has alleviated my fears for any future work needed. Thank you :)
