This was my son’s (7) second visit here. The dental assistant, Alberto, made him feel welcome and comfortable throughout the visit. He explained each step of the process and gave demonstration to ensure my child felt safe and included in the process.

The dentist took time to talk to my son and included him in the conversation, directing most of his questions and responses to him using appropriate language.

I truly appreciate the services this office offers to its patients of all ages. Dental visits can be stressful, but here, all staff maintains a kind and respectful demeanor which quells any fears associated with the dentist.

I been here twice I like how they are very respectful and professional. They introduce themselves they explain everything in great detail. I been to other dentist that are the total opposite and found cavity and came here and turns out I actually don't have a cavity. Started my invisalign with a good price very happy so far great employees I hope they always hire great people 🙂

Amazing job done at this establishment. Clean office, minimal wait time, the staff and dentist were extremely friendly and explained everything well. They accommodated my schedule to get my procedure done earlier since I was going to be out of town, and I love the final result! Extremely happy with the dentist’s work of replacing my two front teeth.

Went in for an emergency wisdom teeth extraction and this dental office is one of the first office I visited that genuinely cared for their patients. Everything about this place is AMAZING. All the staffs are extremely nice and professional. Thank you so much!!!

I called to make an emergency appt. At this place as I’ve been going to it for some time before new ownership took over. The front desk guy Alberto is very kind. I can tell he definitely shouldn’t be working for the dentist that runs this place and saw me for the appt. Had an old filling that came off and needed it refilled. I had no pain or sensitivity. And this dentist whom I don’t know the name since he didn’t bother to introduce himself to me. Instead he began with telling me that I had cavities, gum recessions and that I will need to be numbed just to put a filling back on my upper top front teeth. Then he goes on to say that he highly recommend “veneers” bc it will save my tooth. And I went back to ask if he could just simply put a filling back on since it wasn’t bothering me and I wasn’t experiencing any pain at all. And this dentist claimed “it’s a liability” for him to put a filling on my tooth. Then after I told him very uncomfortable with his opinion. I kindly told the dentist that I will think about it bc all his suggestions and comments are giving me a lot of anxiety. On my way out, he followed me by the front desk and stated I could probably get a temporary filling myself at a store that I can buy. At this moment, I knew this dentist is toxic and he’s the problem in our society trying to take advantage of me by trying to scare me about my teeth. (This is not the type of business anyone should be working with) needless to say…. I left , and literally got a second opinion in less than 20 minutes. And got my teeth fixed. And NO I didn’t had to get numbed, or pressured to get veneers or lied to about having cavities where my tooth have to be drilled more and weakened. Note to all: Find A New Dentist! If you want to have all your natural teeth. This place is not it!

Dr. A and the entire staff are warm and welcoming. I have always had a fear of the dentist, but Dr.A has made me feel comfortable since day one. He is very sweet and you can tell he truly cares for his patients. He also sees my toddler and is amazing with him as well. Can't recommend anyone better!!!

This was my 1st time here. Dr. Shafa was so experienced professional and liked his kind and detailed treatment. The receptionist, Marlene was also very kind and supportive for the procedures of my treatment. Thank you!!

AMAZING WORK is an UNDERSTATEMENT! I stopped by for an emergency Wisdom Teeth removal and from the moment I stepped in the office I felt relieved. Once I sat in the chair the Doctor came in, took some quick X-Rays, clearly and briefly explained the game plan, and began the work. I felt ZERO PAIN from start to finish. Coming from someone who Hates the Dentist that is a HUGE Positive. Once done I was advised of the necessary steps I needed to take to ensure my wound would heal properly. To sum it all up, I’m giving Torrance Smile and it’s Staff 10 Stars out of 5! That is how Great the work and overall experience was. THANKS Torrance Smile ! Looking forward to a Lifelong Relationship!
