Fantastic experience: Maria was fabulous! Personable. Gentle. Professional. All good! Thank you. Also thank you Dr. Jennifer Wood for being so empathetic and caring and attentive. Means a lot! Thank you Anabel for all you do! Great experience and Westside Dentistry!
Fantastic experience: Love this place (as much as one can love a dentist - haha!). I have been coming to Westside Dentistry since I was a child!!! I am a loyal patient because everyone there is very kind and comforting…. I get a lot of anxiety about going to / being at the dentist so it is extremely helpful that everyone is so kind and comforting because otherwise I would probably not go! They give me nitrous to help with my anxiety (for routine cleanings and any procedures that I may need) and they don’t judge me for being so anxious and are very understanding!
Fantastic experience: Great staff. Have been going here for years. The Dentists are honest, professional and friendly. Also has great hygeine technicians and support staff.
Fantastic experience: I've gone to Dr. Jennifer Wood for several years now and she's always so personable and warm, not to mention a great dentist. The hygienist team is also top notch. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Really pleased to provide this review. I recently went to LA for a holiday and while travelling, a crown came out. As soon as I got to the hotel, I set about asking if they could recommend a good local dentist and they said "Westside!" After contacting them, the team at Westside was great, Danny, Vicky and Dr Michelle Jane were all very attentive and got me in on the same day! They reviewed what had happened and reattached my gold crown and I could then enjoy the rest of my trip. Thanks guys!
Fantastic experience: I've been a patient of Dr. Wood and his team for over 30+ years. There is no place better to go for your dental requirements. Superior Quality, State of Art Treatment, and Cutting Edge Equipment.
Fantastic experience: I love coming to the office, I am always greeted warmly. I had my teeth cleaned on Friday , but this time I didn’t feel they were completely cleaned. I don’t know if it’s because they are so badly stained from coffee & tea. My leech still looked yellow around the gums. The cleaning was gentle, but in the past I felt my teeth showed less stains. This last visit was an emergency, Dr. Wood and her team handled my problems with ease, they always seem so happy and make me feel comfortable. They explain everything they are going to do. I really love going to the office

Fantastic experience: We were visiting the old neighborhood in Santa Monica from the east coast this week. I broke a front tooth on a holiday weekend and Dr Jennifer Wood fit me into the schedule the same day I called (a holiday no less!) and the work she did on my tooth looked better than before I had chipped it. Dr wood and her staff are amazing. Thanks Jennifer!! You saved the day. :) Eric D

Fantastic experience: I honestly find everything about the experience at Westside Dentistry to be a level above any other dental practice I have been to. From the outside, you are not expecting to enter a state of the art dentist's office. They are using the latest technology in there. Twice now I have gone in and not had to have my mouth numbed before a procedure. What?! Yes. It is very clean, the staff nice and friendly, and the dentists are all extraordinarily.

Fantastic experience: I had the same dentist since I was a kid. I ended up switching to this practice when I moved up to Santa Monica from the Southbay. Outstanding! Dr. Wood actually found a very large cyst in my mandible during a routine X-ray. He actually, called a surgeon for me on the spot from his cell and got me an early appointment. Saved my jaw frankly. Staff here is fantastic and they invest in the latest technologies for dental work. I had an ultrasonic tool used in my last visit. No pain in my experience and great expertise. Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: Our family has been going to Westside Dentistry for well over 35 years.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Jennifer Woods and her staff are wonderful!!I was scheduled to have a chipped tooth fixed and an hr. before my appointment the receptionist called to see if I wanted my teeth cleaned as they had a cancellation.

I like that they have all of the newest equipment and technology. I highly recommend Westside Dentistry.

Fantastic experience: Westside Dentistry is amazing. Dr Wood's team is friendly and proficient. I'm glad I made the switch to them.
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Westside Dentistry since I was in elementary school over 20 years ago! Since then my brothers, sister, mom, and dad have all gone to be treated here and it's always a great experience. I drive across the hill from woodland hills to keep going here - Best dentists out there!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend coming here. I had an emergency on a Saturday and they graciously were able to take me in right away. I saw Dr. Jade and she was very helpful and diagnosed by problem very quickly. The staff was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable :)
Fantastic experience: The best dentist :)
Fantastic experience: We have been patients of Westside Dentistry for over 30 years. The staff is kind and professional and the quality of dental care is excellent. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Can not recommend Dr Jennifer Wood enough. She is honest and not out to over charge. I was at another dentist and was told I had multiple cavities that required monthly ozone treatments instead of fillings. Finally I sought a second opinion, and she reviewed the same x-rays and couldn't find any "cavities". That was a few years ago... still no cavities and so glad I found Westside dentistry. Staff is friendly and facility is state of the art!
Fantastic experience: Very pleasant and very professional. Had a great experience
Fantastic experience: Dr Jenifer Wood has been my dentist for over 10 years and I highly recommend her. Of the many dentists I've been to over the years, she is the best by a mile. She's highly skilled, works at a good pace and has the latest tech like cavities done painlessly with lasers and in house crown and veneer machines. She and her excellent team are compassionate and just plain good people.
Fantastic experience: My family and I have been going to the Woods' for years. We are grateful to have them managing our overall dental care.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Jen and her assistant were wonderful. I had several reservations/trepidations but all was smooth. She was great
Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for years and they are always so professional and up to date with the latest dental procedures.
Fantastic experience: Drs. Wood are the best! And Jessica does the most thorough yet gentle cleanings. I'm so glad I was referred to this office.
Negative experience: They changed their insurance policies without notice. We showed up and were told we had to pay up front! Now they want to charge us a no show fee! I find this unethicall!
Fantastic experience: Dr Wood and the amazing staff make the most nervous patient feel comfortable .
