Our comment from Best Dentists Club about Newbury Park Dentistry for Children:
A Pediatric Sanctuary Rooted in Long-Term Trust
Newbury Park Dentistry for Children stands out as a premier destination for pediatric dental care, serving families across the Conejo Valley with a philosophy that prioritizes preventive health and lifelong habits. The clinic is dedicated to establishing a dental home by age one, ensuring that infants, children, teens, and young adults—including those with special needs—receive care in an environment designed to feel like a second home. The facility is equipped with modern amenities, such as overhead screens for entertainment and a dedicated play area, which help transform what can often be a stressful event into a positive, memorable experience.
A Team That Turns Anxiety into Enthusiasm
What truly distinguishes this practice is the exceptional rapport the staff builds with patients, effectively eliminating dental fear. Parents consistently report that their children, who may be anxious or have sensory needs, leave appointments not only calm but excited to return. The dentists and hygienists are praised for their patient, gentle, and playful communication styles, using techniques like "tooth storytelling" and rewards to make every visit engaging. It is not uncommon for patients who have previously dreaded the dentist to begin begging their parents for appointments after their first few visits here.
Exceptional Expertise and Comprehensive Care
The clinical team, led by highly regarded doctors such as Dr. Carla Abboud, Dr. Sue, Dr. Neri, and Dr. Steph, brings a wealth of experience and specialized training to the practice. Patients highlight the doctors' thoroughness, clear explanations of treatment plans, and ability to handle complex cases with care. Whether it involves routine cleanings, sealants, restorative work, or referrals for orthodontics, the staff ensures that families feel fully informed and supported. Many long-term patients appreciate the continuity of care, with some families having trusted the practice for over two decades.
Convenience and Family-Centered Service
Beyond clinical excellence, the office is celebrated for its welcoming administrative team and flexible scheduling. Staff members are frequently commended for their responsiveness, including accommodating last-minute emergencies and providing helpful follow-ups. The practice’s ability to treat patients like family, combined with its commitment to hygiene education and gentle techniques, makes it a highly recommended choice for parents seeking a supportive and professional dental home for their children.

Fantastic experience: We can’t say enough good things about Newbury park dentistry for children. The office staff is always super friendly and helpful. Dr. Carla is truly exceptional — not only is she incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, but she also has the kindest, most reassuring bedside manner. From the moment you walk into her office, you feel completely at ease. She takes the time to explain everything clearly, makes sure you’re comfortable at every step, and genuinely cares about her patients’ well-being. Her attention to detail and gentle touch make even the most nervous patient feel relaxed. The entire team reflects her professionalism and warmth — they’re friendly, efficient, and always welcoming. I’m so grateful to have found Dr. Carla. She’s the kind of dentist who turns a routine appointment into an outstanding experience.

And always a good set of instructions to the kid to do a better job at cleaning, flossing, picking, etc... until next time

Fantastic experience: Me and my daughter had such a wonderful experience here. We were referred by friends who raved about Dr. Jennifer and the office and our experience definitely lived up to the hype. Front office staff along with Dr. Stephanie and the other Doctors we met were so incredibly patient and loving toward my daughter, they really caught her attention in the best way possible given that about a year ago I was on the floor with my child (at another dentist) trying to calm her down because of how terrified she was. My visit was truly made special and I highly recommend visiting here, I live in Granada Hills about 35 minutes away and I plan on making the trip to this special place for future visits! It’s the Disneyland of Dental offices guys! My daughter is SO excited to floss her teeth lol!

Fantastic experience: The dentist and assistant took great care of my son while he did X-rays and other items. They are always great with my son and put him at ease.
Positive experience: We should’ve been able to get the seals during our original dentist appointment rather than having to come back. And you should offer later appointment times because we can’t make 4 PM from his bus stop which he gets at at 3:55 in Westlake Village since his school is far away.

Fantastic experience: I have a very cute energetic 4yr old boy. That being said I'm always worried of any visit to the dr or dentist..... he was already excited to go the dentist.

Fantastic experience: We had such a wonderful experience at Newbury Park Dentistry! From the moment we walked in, the warmth and care were felt right away. J.R. was incredibly kind, patient, and sweet with my son—she made him feel so calm and encouraged every step of the way. Her gentle nature truly made a difference, and to top it off, she surprised him with the cutest Labubu outfit since they’re both fans! It was such a thoughtful and special touch that meant so much to him. Dr. Steph was also amazing—professional, polite, and genuinely sweet. She answered all of our questions and gave us really helpful tips on how to continue caring for his pearly whites. You can tell she truly cares about her patients. We wholeheartedly recommend Newbury Park Dentistry to every parent looking for a place where their child will feel safe, seen, and well cared for. Thank you to the whole team for making this visit such a positive one!
Positive experience: Been going here for years with my two kids. Office runs very smoothly and staff and dentists are caring and good with kids.
Negative experience: This office told me my 3 year old had 10 cavities and would need to go under a 3 hour surgery with full anesthesia. I got a second opinion from another office- 4 cavities and a crown done under 30 minutes with laughing gas. Be cautious of this office and get a second opinion.
