Negative experience: I took my son for his first dental appointment it was the worst and they traumatized my son so much that he doesn't want to ever go back to a dentist just because you put some broken toys and some books with staples in your office does not Make you a kids dentist they have 3 dental chairs cram next to each other in a small room with about 11 people in this small room 3 people per chair plus another to walking back and forth the worst experience
Fantastic experience: Great place! Great service. My kids love going to the dentist. It’s a beautifully decorated too!
Fantastic experience: We love it here. Dr ivy and her staff are amazing. Nice, accommodating and friendly. They’re patient and understanding We came here from another dental office due to trauma my son endured during treatment and she’s been nothing but patient and has helped lessen the fear of a dental office visits for him. My fighter loves it here as well. Thanks guys! You rock!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ivy is amazing! She always makes my daughters feel comfortable and at ease during their visits. They LOVE going to the dentist! They literally count down the days until they get to see her! The waiting room is warm, fun, and inviting, and the receptionist is always so welcoming and friendly. We always have a wonderful experience and highly recommend this office!
Fantastic experience: We absolutely love Grin Garden and Dr. Ivy! Both of my boys have been patients since their very first tooth, and I truly can’t imagine taking them anywhere else. Dr. Ivy is incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. She has such a calming, gentle approach that makes every visit a positive experience, even for little ones. She takes the time to explain everything, never rushes appointments, and genuinely cares about each child and family she sees. The entire office is warm, welcoming, and designed to make kids feel comfortable and excited about going to the dentist. It’s clear that everyone there loves what they do. As both a mom and a psychologist, I deeply appreciate providers who create safe, positive experiences for children, and Dr. Ivy does exactly that. We recommend Grin Garden to every family we know and are so grateful to have found such an exceptional pediatric dental home for our boys.
Fantastic experience: My daughter has been very scared of the dentist in the past but now that we’ve been going to grin garden for about 2 years she loves going to the dentist. Everyone there is so sweet and patient. They are really good with kids who have a lot of anxiety about the dentist. They are also amazing dentist I really feel like my kids are in great hands there.
Fantastic experience: Best pediatric dental practice in Burbank and beyond. The entire staff is kind and knowledgeable. I have been bringing my kids to Dr. Ivy since the ages of 6 yrs and 7 yrs old. They and both teenagers now. Their experience has always been positive thus never feared coming to their appointments. I highly recommend this dental office.
Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about Dr. Ivy and her team! We switched to her office after being with another pediatric dental group for years, and I can confidently say it was the best decision we could have made. Her approach is so gentle and practical and she never pushes invasive or expensive procedures that aren't necessary. My son had a sort of "pre-cavity" area on one of his baby molars and because it will likely fall out in a year or so, she didn't push for novocaine and drilling as our past dentist would have done - costing us $$$$ on a tooth that was bound for the tooth fairy anyway! She was able to safeguard the area using a different, more modern approach that was much less invasive and not traumatizing (because let's be honest, drilling in a kid's tooth is no fun for anyone). She's very hip to all the newer, more progressive forms of dentistry so we always knows our kids are getting the best, most up-to-date care. Also, as a mom to 3 little kids herself, she is acutely aware of how apprehensive kids can be about the dentist and she is so patient and loving with my kids that they basically don't want to leave her office. Not to mention she has the cutest, most kid-friendly office in town. This office is truly a gem—I couldn’t recommend Dr. Ivy and her wonderful team more!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and heartfelt review! We appreciate it beyond words!
Fantastic experience: I was nervous for my son’s first visit but they made him feel so comfortable! They’re so patient, kind, and incredible with kids! Now both my kids love Dr. Ivy and her staff!
Fantastic experience: Dr Ivy is one of the kindest, calmest and empathetic practioners I know. She treats children as their whole selves, introducing herself, asking for consent, and describing things in child-friendly language. She also is very eco-conscious and keeps a creatively decorated office. She is also a mom and listens to the concerns of parents without rushing them. Her office doesn't accept our HMO insurance and we've decided it's worth it, regardless.
Fantastic experience: We love Grin Garden! I have three children that all like going to get their teeth cleaned because everyone at Grin Garden is so sweet and kind.
Fantastic experience: Incredibly friendly environment. Everyone is very welcoming to all patients and parents. They are incredibly sweet and kind. It’s a joy to have a dentist appointment.
Fantastic experience: Grin Garden came highly recommended by a close friend and they are so great! Huge fan of the office.

- Grin Garden Team
Fantastic experience: We had our 6 month check up and a scan for my daughter’s Invisalign treatment. The appointment went great, the staff is always pleasant, and Dr. Ivy is always very thorough and great at answering any questions or concerns. As a parent who chose to go with Invisalign instead of traditional braces, at first, I was a little hesitant and even a little skeptical but Dr. Ivy and her staff have been great in reassuring that we made the right choice for my daughter. My daughter has been having wonderful orthopedic experiences. On top of that we’re always seen on time and the office is always kept beautiful and clean.

Fantastic experience: Oh this was first time taking my baby to the dentist, and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. GG has a beautiful office and the vibe is so welcoming and most important kid friendly. The doctor and her staff were really sweet and made sure my daughter feel comfortable almost instantly. I was expecting her to scream and cry bloody murder, but she was calm the entire time. A testament to the doctor’s calming presence. I so happy we’ve found this dental office, owned by women as it’s not too far from my home. I’m also happy this is a place where the staff and doctors will be able to care for my daughters teeth throughout the years as she grows.

- Grin Garden Team
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ivy is the only dentist that has been able to put my daughter at ease about dental work. My daughter is extremely apprehensive about going to the dentist to the point of where she will put her foot down and not allow others to work. Dr. Ivy and her staff are patient with her and use different techniques and strategies to help put her at ease. We have come a long way over the past few years of us going to this office. I highly recommend them!
Fantastic experience: The office is perfect for littles and if your child is allergic to latex or fluoride, they make sure to accommodate.
Hi Estefania, thank you so much for sharing your experience! We value your feedback :)
- Grin Garden Team
Fantastic experience: Great experience for my daughter's with Dr. Avanessian. She is very gentle and detailed, my girls feel comfortable with her and her staff.
Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough good things about our first experience with Dr.Ivy, Dr. Sia, and the staff at Grin Garden. We first met Dr. Ivy at the Burbank Holiday Festival and remembered how kind and thoughtful she was and decided to book appointments for our kids. Upon entering the office today, the atmosphere was inviting and unlike typical office waiting rooms, and the personal touch of our kids’ names being on the chalkboard next to reception was a nice personal touch and helped make the experience a memorable one in the best kind of way. My kids had a great experience and we will definitely be back. Thank you Grin Garden!
Fantastic experience: Grin Garden staff are always so friendly, welcoming, and easy to talk to. My kid is currently seeing Dr. Ivy and we’ve been nothing but happy with her services. Very helpful and compassionate. Their office is also so nice!
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience! The staff was friendly, patient, and made my child feel completely at ease. Everything was explained clearly, and the visit was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great pediatric dentist!”
Fantastic experience: It was a really great experience for my 2 year old for his first trip to the dentist! Despite his fussiness (he cries pretty much anywhere that’s not the playground), he loved the waiting room! It was clean and comfy/cozy with a bunch of different toys that made him excited to be there. Dr. Ivy was very sweet and explained everything to me. She did the cleaning gently, quickly, and efficiently even though my son was crying and upset. It went better than I could have imagined and I’m glad that my son has such a good dentist!
Fantastic experience: If your kids dislike going to the dentist, this is the place they'll ask to visit at least once a month. My kids and I adore Grin Garden; it's truly magical. I'm completely serious about that! The staff is amazing—super nice and friendly—and their customer service is outstanding. The dentists are top-notch, and let's not forget the waiting area! It's like a dream come true for for my kids.
Fantastic experience: A perfect first dentist visit for our toddler! The office was so adorable and she genuinely had a good time in both the waiting room and exam room. Learned a lot and excited to have Dr. Ivy as our daughter’s dentist!
Fantastic experience: My experience at Grin Garden was super great! My 8 year old was super nervous but once she got in the back with the DA and the Dentist her nerves went away because the staff and her dentist where super friendly and they explained everything not just to me but to my daughter also. I really truly appreciate that. She was so happy after that she even asked me when we will be back. I told her next week and she’s like okay promise.
Fantastic experience: My three children (13, 11 and 5) have been coming to Grin Garden for several years now. The entire staff has always been amazing, they are very thorough, kind and gentle with the kids. Even my youngest who had major anxiety at first has began loving Dr. Ivy and is eager to come back for his next visit. The office is always in pristine condition and beautifully decorated, the office has a very calming vibe and I prefer the beautiful green garden theme much more than the super busy and bright designs most children's dental offices have. I highly recommend Grin Garden, I have referred many of my friends and family and they all love Grin Garden as much as we do.
Fantastic experience: Dr Ivy and her team are phenomenal. This is by far the best dentist I’ve had for my kids. I am so happy we were recommended to this dental office by our pediatrician. To my 12 year old son and my 5 year old daughter. Both have been taken care of with care and I have been given great support and education about their dental care. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: We love Dr. Ivy!! My daughter had to get a tooth pulled and felt so comfortable with Dr. Ivy and her team. They are wonderful and explain everything they do step by step so she was able to understand and be more at ease with the procedure. Dr. Ivy really takes her time and truly has such a warming presence. Couldn’t recommend her more!
Fantastic experience: My kids love going to Grin Garden. I took them both in for a cleaning (4yrs and 18 months) and not a single tear or complaint from either. They love Dr. Ivy and Dr. Sara and had a great check up. Everyone was really gentle and patient and we will definitely be returning in the future.
Fantastic experience: Such a nice practice. We have been coming for regular checkups with two of my kids. I like that they don’t push for xrays if not needed.
Fantastic experience: My toddler had her very first dental appointment recently at Grin Garden and was nervous/scared about going. The staff (specifically Rita the dental assistant) was pro at making her feel comfortable quickly and had her laughing throughout the appointment. Dr Ivy was super friendly, thorough, & informative. I couldn’t have wished for a better 1st experience. My toddler talked about how fun the dentist is and is excited for her next appointment!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience at Grin Garden. Dr. Ivy was kind, insightful and very patient when I took my daughter for her first dental visit. Definitely reccomend!
Fantastic experience: Grin Garden has been amazing for both of my sons! They take such great care of my youngest, making sure his teeth are clean and healthy. For my oldest, they did an incredible job with his braces—not only improving his smile but also correcting his bite. The team is professional, caring, and truly dedicated to their patients. I highly recommend them for both general dental care and orthodontics!

Fantastic experience: We had a great visit at Grin Garden Kids Dental yesterday, my child was a little scared at first but they talked to her and explained everything that they were going to do and they were very gentle with her and it helped calm her down.

The ortho Doctor was very kind and knowledgeable. Gave great detail on what the next steps should be for my son to obtain a perfect healthy smile. We look forward to our next visit. How could I forget to add how cute the office is! Absolutely beautiful, makes it fun for kids to feel at ease when going to the dentist. Thanks again Grin Garden!

Fantastic experience: Our son was seen quickly and treated kindly and gently. He was at ease through the entire visit and fortunately had no dental issues. Both of our sons go there and we’re all very happy with the practice.
Fantastic experience: Such a lovely experience. Amazing staff, clean and gorgeous facility. We’re so happy to be patients at Grin Garden! Every experience at Grin Garden is great. We appreciate the clear communication, the gentle and kind treatment for the kids, and the warm and supportive staff.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely stellar experience and service! Dr. Ivy was so patient with our son. They had great resources for a 2.5 year old and he let her do the whole cleaning easily and without any fuss. We’re so grateful to have found Grin Garden. Highly recommend!
Negative experience: Kept waiting 45 minutes for an appointment, but threatened with a $50 fine if you’re 10 minutes late. Woman on the front desk called me to re-arrange the appointment for my son, I have a daughter. There are far better options, this isn’t the one
Fantastic experience: Grin Garden is absolutely the best pediatric dentist office. The doctors, techs, and staff are kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable, My kids have gone here for years and will continue to do so!
Fantastic experience: Great dentist and orthodontist! Highly recommend! Front office always friendly and helpful. Dental assistants are all very knowledgeable. My daughter is not the best patient but they have really helped her get more comfortable.
Fantastic experience: I had such a positive experience with Grin Garden! My baby fell and broke his tooth so my first visit wasn’t under the best circumstances but they were so helpful and reassuring. Their approach is conservative which I love. The office is super cute and clean and the staff are all lovely. I’ve had negative experiences with two other pediatric dentists so I am thrilled to have found this practice. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Everything and everyone at Grin Garden is fantastic. Dr. Ivy is so thorough and caring and takes so much time with each child. The front desk staff is wonderful and accommodating. My daughter doesn’t want to leave because she loves playing at the office. Can’t recommend Grin Garden enough!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ivy and her staff do an incredible job! Both my 8-year old and 3-year old have been patients of Grin Garden for over a year and they truly have treated them with such great care. We drive all the way from Alhambra because we trust their service. We first came to Grin Garden as a referral. First off, their office aesthetic is lovely and very child centered. Their lobby is filled with educational and functional toys to help get the wiggles out before seeing Dr. Ivy. Once in the patient chair, the team of hygienists/assistants are very welcoming and do a great job connecting with the kids. They’re efficient, professional and take just enough time to do a great cleaning while not allowing the littles (more so with my toddler) to grow impatient. When seeing Dr. Ivy, she equally does a great job connecting with the child, explains what she is doing in a fun and educational way and also takes the time to interact with parents to help answer any questions. It is an huge plus that this location also has an orthodontist as it’s nice to have one in-house as opposed to needing an outside referral. Overall our experience with Grin Garden has been wonderful and I often refer friends and family to visit.
Fantastic experience: We loved our experience with Dr Ivy and her wonderful staff at Grin Garden. Kind, patient and thorough. Grateful to have such a wonderful pediatric practice close to home.
Fantastic experience: The staff, nurses and Doctor Ivy are so kind, welcoming, informative and professional. The office is clean and sooo cute! The experience is like no other from the moment you call in to even after you’ve left the appointment. I wish they had offices and staff like this for adult dentistry! It was by far the best experience. I have already recommended the dental practice to family and friends. Thank you Grin Garden!!!
Fantastic experience: Grin Garden is the best! Dr. Ivy and her staff are so wonderful, and the office is adorable and so comfortable! My baby had a great first appointment, and my toddler actually enjoys going to the dentist! Your kids and their smiles are in great hands at Grin Garden!
Fantastic experience: Grin Dental Garden is fantastic! They really care about their patients, especially kids. The staff is super patient and friendly, making dental visits stress-free. If you want top-notch care in a welcoming environment, Grin Dental Garden is the place to go!
Fantastic experience: My children loves Grin Garden dental. They feel very confortable and they triste dr. Ivy. The staff is very patient and helpful.
Fantastic experience: My 3 year old did amazing at her appointment. Grin garden is a friendly environment and the hygienist knew exactly how to put a nervous toddler at ease.
Fantastic experience: My nephews enjoy visiting the dentist, as Dr Ivy is nice and makes it inviting. Great staff and atmosphere. Overall only positive experiences here, highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: 5/2024 EDIT: We have been to this office a few times over the past 1.5 years and we continue to highly recommend Dr. Ivy and her team. My children enjoy and look forward to their visits and us parents are happy they’re so comfortable there. This is a great office team with a most kind and lovely dentist treating your children. Don’t hesitate to try this office. ORIGINAL POST: Visited this office as a recommendation from our pediatrician and very grateful we did. There’s a sweet waiting/play room which my kids loved. Everything appears clean and tidy. The garden theme carries throughout the office and the ambiance is lovely. Dr. Ivy is kind and gentle and we can say the same about the team members that assisted us in both the front and back offices. Dr. Ivy made our children’s first dental appointment easy and enjoyable. We left with a fun bag of goodies to help the kiddos enjoy and improve their dental hygiene habits. Overall, a delightful experience and I’ve already recommended other families to the practice.
Hi Jen! Thank you for taking the time to write us such an awesome review! We are so happy that you & your children had a positive experience. We look forward to seeing you & your family at their next visit!

Fantastic experience: My son and I love the Grin Garden! It is clean and pleasantly decorated. My son plays in the waiting area before our appointment. Dr. Ivy is knowledgeable and very kind. The staff members are nice and gentle to the children. I highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ivy & the Team are kind and intentionally thoughtful. My daughters love coming here! The details in the office create a warm and "home feel" atmosphere. I feel that they don't just see us as a "patient" but here to build relational equity and so grateful they are in this community!
Fantastic experience: It was our first time there and my son’s first dental visit. I was really nervous because I didn’t know how my son was going to react but he did so good but I do believe it was the environment that made him feel safe and happy. The office doesn’t feel like a regular dentist office, it felt like you were in a kids playroom. Everyone was so welcoming and my son loved it! I would definitely go back and recommend all the parents to give them a visit. Thank you Grin Garden for making our experience so memorable. :)
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ivy is so sweet and so caring she took very good care of my daughter she had two big cavity's that needed a baby root canel she knew exactly what words to use to make a child feel comfortable like calling a cap for the tooth a princess crown. I'm so thankful and I was able to sit next to the room and was there through the entire procedure. The staff is also very kind and caring and good with children. The office is very clean with great toys for the kids to play with in the waiting room which helps the kid relax before they get dental work done.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ivy and Grin Garden were an incredible place for our baby's first dental appointment! The office is adorable and everyone made us feel very welcome and comfortable.
