Fantastic experience: I would give ten (10) stars if that was an option. I had seven (4)consultation with various Dental Implant Specialists before making the wise decision to select Vernon Dental Speciality Group.They were by far the most professional and they were approximately $7000 less expensive than the other specialists I visited. Not only is their office remodel,every piece of equipment is brand new I would say also Despite some health concerns, the procedure was completed with no problems. I could not be happier with the finished product. Dr. And Maria Santos were very professional, friendly and accommodating. I wish I could more effectively articulate how high I recommend Vernon Specialty Dental group .In fact, I was so pleased, I sent my brother to them and, as expected, he is just as pleased with their services!

Fantastic experience: GREAT JOB ON MY TOOTH EXTRACTION I WAS PAIN FREE IN A WEEK.
Fantastic experience: The clinic is so luxurious and the work the doctor has done is amazing!! The doctor and the assistant Maria S and all the personnel are so attentive!! The doctor is a real professional and has over 15 years experience! My case was not the easiest, I had a bad root canal, they had to re treat my root canal and it was a lot of work! Thank you for your labour!! I’m so lucky this office was able to save my tooth !
Fantastic experience: 10/10 experience. Always feel welcome and helped right away. Carlos help me with my entire braces.
Fantastic experience: Having a root canal. The first thing you think is MAJOR PAIN!!. But with this Doctor you feel nothing!! Maybe like some of you, you think about going to the dentist. Your blood pressure goes up. You start sweating and everything. That is me! Doctor makes you feel calm and comfortable. He explained everything what he was going to do . And even the injections to numb my mouth did not even hurt! If you ever need to have a root canal I would highly recommend him! His assistant Maria Santos super friendly with yes of experience knew what she was doing such a great team ! They don't treat you like a patient but they treat you like family. The receptionist greets you with a smile and welcomes you to the office. It's like if you've known her for a lifetime. Once again, I would highly recommend Vernon Dental Specialty Group and staff for a root canal!!!
Fantastic experience: 10/10 recommend!! My root canal (1st one ever) was the most painless, easy, and chill dental procedure I've ever had!! Doctor and Maria S were FABULOUS! A day later, I'm feeling the after effects as I heal, but they made the day of and whole process so easy. I will ALWAYS ask to be referred here! Thank you Vernon Dental Specialist
Fantastic experience: Doctor was asked to evaluate a tooth for possible extraction which had a 15 year root canal. After reviewing the X-ray and speaking with me about the time line for pain and what were the circumstances contributing to the pain we had a brief discussion and agreed to continue treatment ( antibiotics, pain control) and see if time would alleviate the pain. And if not then probably the tooth would need to be extracted. He was very nice at long with his assistant Maria Santos very kind, compassionate and straight forward. I enjoyed his input and will follow his advice.
Fantastic experience: I really like Vernon Dental because everyone was very nice. I felt comfortable being there. I didn't have to wait long at all. I recommend them highly. They understood that I was in pain and needed help right away. Staff called me when someone cancelled and took care of my tooth. I am grateful to everyone and will continue to go there. Thank you for making my visit easier it really helped alot .
Negative experience: I would not recommend this location. Appointments take an excessive amount of time, and if you arrive even 15 minutes late, you are required to reschedule for the following week. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience.
Hello Angel,
We always do our best to help every patient and ensure treatment is provided in a timely manner. Our team works with a high volume of scheduled appointments each day, and in order to respect everyone’s time, we allow a 15-minute grace period for late arrivals.
After that time, we may need to reschedule or offer a later slot the same day, depending on availability. This policy is applied consistently to all patients.
Our doors are always open, and you are welcome to continue care with us at any time. If you would like to discuss your experience further, please contact our office directly.
Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I'm 63 years old and have gone to many dentists through my lifetime. With all of my American dental experience I could not even imagine the high level at which this entire practice operates. Everyone's oral situation is different but you can leave it to them to do whatever is necessary in the most skillful and professional ways. I had many procedures completed including Endodontics and cosmetic work in one week and they were all completed with perfection, speed and created very little pain or discomfort. I have not the slightest complaint including pricing. Thanks to Doctor and the lady Maria Santos who was very patient and kindness .You will be happy that you chose the best!
Fantastic experience: Love love this office ! If you’re looking for a specialty office stop looking! They do everything literally everything I’m talking from basic to major treatments.a lot of offices referred you out to hospitals or another dental office when The Doctor’s not able to do the treatment..Vernon Dental Specialty Group has different departments oral surgeon ,endodontics, General dentist ,cosmetic ,orthodontics and etc .Assistants and entire staff team are awesome!

Fantastic experience: This is truly a first. I had occasion to have a root canal done. This was not my first root canal but this one was truly amazing. I have never been for dental procedure that made you want to go back for more! This one was nothing like the scary ones I previously had. The doctor was extremely knowledgeable, careful, and calming. He thoughtfully talked me through every step relieving my anxiety to a point that I almost went to sleep. The highly experienced dental assistant Maria Santos took the X-rays without gagging me. She was so skilled and masterful, I thought she was the doctor! Her relaxing island accent was better than the anesthetics and process was 100% pain free. Everyone in the office from the moment you stepped in was so welcoming and caring . In the end the procedure wasn't painful at all . Thank you guys !
Fantastic experience: Dr and his assistant Maria Santos were awesome! Super friendly and patient with me when ur comes to big procedures like root canals .I have severe anxiety from dental experiences from many years ago as a child and they have helped me to overcome some of my anxiety.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Vernon Dental. The receptionist, Veronica Sandoval, was very friendly, and helpful She made my process smooth and easy she answered all my questions with patience over all great customer service — highly recommend!
Positive experience: I have been a patient for several years and although I have had concerns over my treatment at times for the most part they have been addressed and resolved in a timely professional manner. They have always been polite and treated me with respect. The wait times are short and the office seems organized and extremely up to date with state of the art equipment. There does seem to be a shortage of parking at times because they share the lot with other businesses but it doesn’t take long for a space to become available. I would give them a 5 star if I could reach them personally instead of being assisted with an AI assistant phone service.
Thank you so much for your kind review and for being our patient for several years. We sincerely appreciate your trust and are grateful that you took the time to share your experience.
We are glad to hear that you’ve noticed our efforts to provide professional, respectful, and efficient care. Our team works continuously to make sure every visit — from scheduling to treatment — is as smooth and comfortable as possible.
We also want to reassure you and our other patients that we are actively improving our communication options. Our AI assistant helps shorten wait times and makes it easy to book an appointment anytime. However, we completely understand that some situations require speaking with a real person.
Please know that you always have the option to reach our live team directly whenever you need additional help or have questions the AI assistant cannot address.
Thank you again for your feedback — it truly helps us refine our service and continue growing. We look forward to seeing you at your next visit.
Negative experience: I received a referral to this place from western dental. The front staff is ok. The dentist assistant was edgy and angry for whatever reason. The doctor moved fast but both him and the assistant were kinda rude during my root canal. They asked me if it "actually hurt" in a rude and dismissive manner multiple times mid drill on a raw nerve causing me more distress than necessary. Its upsetting because im Black and we know how medical industries feel about us and the myths they spread about our pain tolerance being high. But regardless of that situation, my procedure seems solid and my pain is minimal hours later. All in all wouldn't recommend if you have any anxiety about dentists. Otherwise, its just OK. Not for everyone forsure.
Negative experience: what this dentist office did to me needs to be exposed so nobody else goes through what I did. When I first went there, I was young and didn’t really know what I was doing, so I trusted them completely. They took full advantage of that. This place did a huge amount of unnecessary work on me just to juice my MEDI-CAL insurance for as much money as they could. They didn’t care about my pain, my concerns, or my long-term health. All they cared about was how much they could bill my medical — nothing else. Because of their greed and negligence, I’m now dealing with chronic mouth pain and long-term problems that should have never happened. Now I have to go to a different dentist to repair the damage they caused, and it’s going to cost me a lot of money, time, and stress. They rushed through appointments, ignored what I was telling them, and treated me like nothing more than a way to make money off my medical insurance. I was too young to realize they were taking advantage of me. Please learn from my experience. Do NOT go to this dentist. They do not care about your health, your pain, or your future. They care only about billing your medical for as much as they can. I wish I could give zero stars.
Maria, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
As a specialty dental clinic, we take every diagnosis and treatment recommendation very seriously. Our doctors do not prescribe or suggest any procedures unless they are medically necessary. Each recommendation is based on clinical findings, supported by X-rays, and reviewed by our licensed specialists.
Additionally, all treatment plans for Medi-Cal patients are submitted to the insurance for approval. Medi-Cal only authorizes procedures that are clinically justified, and they do not approve any treatment that is not truly needed. This means that every service recommended to you was reviewed not only by our clinicians, but also by your insurance provider.
We would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to speak with you directly. Without your participation, your review provides no factual or legal basis for us to understand what actually happened. We kindly ask that you contact our office as soon as possible so we can identify your case, review your records together, and understand how we may assist you.
This message is also important for those who may read your review: the scenario you described is not something that can occur in our office, or in any Medi-Cal–regulated clinical setting. All treatments require medical justification, insurance approval, and specialist oversight. Our clinic has been serving the community for many years, and we are proud that more than 200 local dental offices refer their most complex cases to our specialists.
Maria, we sincerely invite you to reach out, visit us, and allow us to understand your concerns and assist you in any way we can. We are always here to help.
Please contact us at (909) 885-8707.
— Vernon Dental Specialty Team
Fantastic experience: The sedation team that took care of my son for his dental procedure was so kind and caring! He is extremely afraid of the dentist and the way they talked to him and comforted him and put him at such ease literally made me cry!! I highly recommend them and would suggest using this route for you child if they are distraught when having to get dental work done! Thank you all for taking care of my son and showing him such compassion and making his experience less scary
Fantastic experience: Had a good experience here, I needed a wisdom tooth extraction. At another place they sent me to another specialist but I changed to this one, (on Mt. Vernon) instead and they gave me an appointment real quick and the procedure took a couple mins. And I was out. I'm changing my sons here too. Why have to struggle going to different places when they got it all here. The staff was nice too. My parents also come here for their dental needs, they like it too. The only Con is the phone line, sounds busy most of the time.
Fantastic experience: I am very pleased with this office and their appointment system. Their over the phone customer service is amazing! Angie always works with me to make sure I get the appointment that best fits my schedule. I highly recommend it.
Positive experience: Great staff. Doc was very well suited and calming. Was i happy with my visit? I was there having all my teeth removed - top and bottom - I wasn't happy I was there - believe you me. However, despite cursing fate, the whole staff was pleasant and helpful. (Though busy - id say they deserve a raise)
Fantastic experience: Very great quick experience. First time for braces everyone was friendly, especially Ana and Carlos very much appreciated. Definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: One of the best dental cares I’ve received! DR. KAMRANI and his assistants Hugo and Jose were very caring and attentive. Dr. Kamrani was very thorough in explaining my root canal and I didn’t have any pain :) The staff is super nice! I definitely recommend this place!
Fantastic experience: I recommend Vernon dental for orthodontic or any dental service, friendly staff and good payment plans for any information contact Carlos Hernandez for your orthodontic consult. Be able to help you.
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience at this dental office! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and comfortable. The office was clean, modern, and very organized. The entire team was professional and friendly, but I want to give a special shout-out to Jose for his outstanding customer service! Jose went above and beyond to make sure all my questions were answered and that I felt completely at ease throughout my visit. He was attentive, kind, and genuinely cared about my experience. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a warm personality, he truly made a difference in my visit.

Fantastic experience: I had an incredible experience at Vernon Dental Specialty Group! From the moment I called to schedule my appointment, Jazmin Peña made the entire process effortless. She was extremely professional, kind, and went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. You can tell she genuinely cares about patients and takes pride in her work — her warm personality immediately puts you at ease.
