I live in Playa and needed to see a local dentist immediately, as I was in a LOT of pain. Since Del Dental was within walking distance and they could actually fit me in, I went there - and I'm so glad that I did! I've had some truly horrible dental experiences in the past and was so anxious and nervous and expecting the worst but this was the probably the best dental experience I've had since I was a kid. The staff was really great and attentive and they didn't roll their eyes at me for being such a dental chicken. The office was clean and modern and everyone really seemed to care about me and making sure that I got relief. Dr. Fattahi was genuinely kind and very informative and she didn't scold me for not being to the dentist in YEARS! She simply treated me, didn't try to upsell me me on a bunch of cosmetic whitening and stuff, and encouraged me to have a deep cleaning since it had been sooo long since I'd been to a dentist. I came back the next day for a cleaning and to repair a cracked older filling. And then later in the week to have my infected / impacted wisdom tooth extracted. Dr. Lali (sp?) did the extraction and was assisted by yet another great staff member, Michael. It was a very difficult extraction but they were absolutely great in handling it and making sure I wasn't in any pain. I was really surprised to see negative reviews on Yelp because my overall experience with Del Dental was great. I found them by doing an online search for neighborhood dentists and this is one time where I'm glad I didn't cross reference with Yelp. The negative reviews seem old so maybe there has been new staffing in the past couple of years, but in any case, I really do recommend Del Dental.
