PATIENT REVIEWS
Check out what some of our happy patients are saying about us:
Pat M. from Los Angeles, CA (Source: Yelp)
★★★★★
Not over booked–they are very organized and the doctor is always on time. Knowledgeable–the office is fully equipped, doctor gives treatment with care and a gentle hand. Generous with time–Dr. Saleem spends time to listen and answers all our questions. Cost–they charge what insurance allows and have a fair co-pay. Professional–all staff are well trained and very friendly. My husband is a very particular person and if he gives thumbs up for this office you can be sure that all above are accurate.

My favorite dentist’s office in the area. What I like most about this place is that Dr. Saleem and his staff are patient and take the time to give thorough explanations and answer any questions. Along with X-rays, the staff takes additional regular pictures of your teeth so you yourself can see the condition they’re in. It makes me feel like I can make a more informed decision on the care for my teeth. The staff is friendly as well.

I just had my first teeth cleaning and x-rays done. The staff goes out of their way to be friendly and make you feel relaxed. They have the latest technology and I especially liked the fact that they don’t make you feel rushed like other dentists I’ve been to. I’ve been searching for a new dentist and I finally found one that I trust and feel comfortable with. I highly recommend this office to anyone!

I had an abscess tooth — and needed an emergency appointment –despite being in the middle of the pandemic in mid-May, and needing a dentist for a new PPO account. I followed the recommendation of a friend, had antibiotics to start by the end of the day, and an appointment in 2 days time. The office was prepared for safety during COVID times, clean, and modern. Treatment felt the same. While it took two rounds of antibiotics and steroids to get the raging infection under control, I finished treatment today and have a comfortable crown. From scheduling to hygienists to Dr. Seleem, treatment was efficient and professional.

I have been coming to Dr Seleem (Art of Smiles) for several years now. I find the Doctor very professional, he provides ample time for explanations, questions and answers; and has a calming nature which relaxes you. The Hygienist is always so gentle, provides input and answers any questions when necessary. The Art of Smiles, has a Relaxing atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. No pain or anticipation. I do recommend Dr. Seleem for all your Dental needs.

I really love my new dentist! Everyone here is so genuinely nice. They are strictly observing all of the safety protocols and I really appreciate that. I saw another dentist in Pasadena before coming to Dr. Seleem, and they quoted me a price that was double what I paid for the same service at Art of Smiles. Also, Dr. Seleem recommended a hard retainer which will never have to be replaced like my old ones that needed replacing twice a year. This new hard retainer is such a better solution from both a cost and convenience perspective, and I don’t know why my previous dentists never recommended it. Several of my family members also see Dr. Seleem, including my mother-in-law who recently moved to Los Angeles from New York City. Dr. Seleem found several things she needed fixed that her former dentist in NYC had overlooked. So we’re all very pleased to have found Dr. Seleem and Art of Smiles.

We found this dentist office for me as I needed about 11 Fillings, several root canals and a tooth extraction and implant. This office, the Dr. and all his staff are amazing! Lets start with the office, it is new, and very nice. You feel clean and relaxed being in there. Very high tech and comfortable, TVs available with headphones at all stations, well decorated, etc. Next, the staff. These are the nicest most professional staff at a dentist office we have ever dealt with. I have been to 4 dentists before this one, and although all were somewhat nice, they each had their issues, when it came to insurance and payments, procedures, quality of work or service, quality of staff, etc. they each had their flaws. After having completed my entire treatment plan, I rave about this office. Their staff have helped us on the finances side and made it very simple for us, always made us feel welcome and are over the top accommodating and responsible. They really care about their patients. They also follow up with us before an appointment to make sure we don’t forget. Lastly, the Doctor is incredible. He is extremely nice, but his skill and know-how is superior to all other dentists I have been to. Always friendly, he also explains everything that he will be doing and lays it all out and makes you feel very comfortable. With all the work done, I never once complained about pain afterwards, which is amazing considering I don’t take pain killers. This just goes to show how amazing the doctors work really is. This office has EARNED our business for as long as we live in LA. We love them and truly recommend them to anyone looking for a very high quality dentist. ML, Angela & Mike

Crystal is the best! I was experiencing a bad toothache and considered cancelling my appointment upon finding out my dental insurance hadn’t kicked in. When I called to cancel, she told me to come in regardless in order to make sure my toothache wasn’t something serious. On top of that, I was given an unbeatable discounted rate including X-rays, which can be costly! Everyone has been so accommodating and I also couldn’t be more grateful to Dr. Seleem for squeezing me into his busy schedule! Well done, Art of Smiles. I will definitely be coming back! 🙂

After having had a bad experience with an L.A. dentist office I was very happy with my visit today. From the moment I entered the office, all employees we’re extremely polite and friendly. Then Dr. Seleem gave me a thorough examination and didn’t push me into getting additional unnecessary services. I then got a great cleaning by Brooke and later got a detailed cost estimate for all procedures to be done in the near future. Going to the dentist is never something most people look forward to, so knowing I’ve found the right dentist without being ripped off I can finally relax now 🙂 Thank you all for everything!

I wouldn’t be afraid to call Dr. Seleem the number one Doctor in Los Angeles . Everyone who meets Dr Seleem, will be very fortunate. Previously,I had very bad experience with multiple doctors here in Los Angeles. Different doctors did horrible jobs on my teeth. One doctor was fixing the job of another just to get the $$$. After that, I develop a fear of dentists and huge mistrust When I met Dr. Seleem, I was in very bad condition. Went to many different specialists who couldn’t help me. Dr. Seleem was the one who looked deeper and found the cause of my issue. I am so thankful to Dr Seleem for helping me: relieving me from suffering and giving me my smile back. Here are some of the reasons why Dr. Seleem is the best Doctor : -the best in giving painless anesthesia injections. -will not do unnecessary job on your teeth -have the best technology in his clinic -Dr. Seleem will educate you on proper preventative care -all his staff in the office are caring, friendly, and very helpful. Dr. Saleem, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the help you are giving me. I am so thankful to Nelya who referred me to you. God bless you all !!!

I highly recommend Dr, Seleem and all his staff, they are amazing. They are so accommodating and professional.The office is beautiful with state of the art equipment. I recently got aligners at age 48 and I’m so pleased with the process, even though I travel 1 hour to see him. I already see a change in my teeth. I am so grateful for Dr Seleem, because he has been taking care of my son’s very difficult oral issues, and has helped him get his confidence back. My son has been a good friend with Dr. Seleem, and recommended me. And now my mom and I have joined the Art of Smiles family.

When is the last time your urban dentistry appointment was a great experience? Well, the Art of Smiles is that place! Firstly, the customer service was excellent. Secondly, the interior decor rivals a modern resort spa. Thirdly all of the equipment was modern compared to all of the insurance qualified denstists I’ve visited during my corporate career. Lastly, the technicians and doctor seemed highly skilled. Parking is available as well in the neighboring garage.
Angel R. from Whittier, CA (Source: Yelp)
★★★★★
From the moment you walk into the office you get a positive, professional and curtious vibe. I’ve had very bad experiences in the past, and yet I have not found one thing that I dislike. While,I was waiting in the chair I was able to watch Netflix, and was able to continue watching it with headphones throughout the entire procedure to avoid the drilling vibrations and reduce noise level.The staff are very nice and make you feel like family, and don’t treat you like “just another patient”. The doctor had a “light hand” ,which if you all know, is a great thing . Thank you for the nice work on my teeth as I will continue to come here (art of smiles) for my work.

My family has been blessed with having Dr. Seleem as our dentist for about 12 years now. He is a great professional who knows what he is doing and is the doctor to whom other dentists send hard cases they cannot handle themselves. In addition to being a highly trained and experienced dentist, Dr. Seleem is a great person who genuinely cares for his patients and will never recommend a procedure that is not right for you. In other words, he is honest. He recently did a major cosmetic work on my teeth and spent countless hours making sure my teeth look and feel great. I am very happy with the outcome. Unfortunately for us (and fortunately for Dr. Seleem – we are very happy for him!), he recently moved and has a new practice in Pasadena, so we have to drive 1.5 hrs (or much more in traffic) to his new office. Oh well… it is what it is. I will drive to Pasadena when needed because we cannot trust anyone else with our dental health. Dr. Seleem proved to be the best dentist we ever met. He is awesome! Add to that a sleek and modern office with new equipment, wonderful staff and friendly atmosphere. If you are looking for a dentist in that area or are not happy with the one you currently see, check the Art of Smiles! I am sure you will not be looking for another dentist after that. =) Thank you Dr. Seleem and your wonderful team for the care you are providing!

When I moved here from DC, I was so worried about finding a good dentist. I have had a lot of dental work over the years and needed to find a smart, technologically savvy dentist to take care of my teeth. From the first moment I walked into the office, Dr. Seleem and his staff made me realize I had picked the right dental practice. He is AMAZING, just like his staff. I rest easy knowing that I am getting the best care from a group of people who are warm, kind and genuinely invested in my health. If you are looking for a new dentist in Pasadena, look no further. Art of Smiles and Dr. Seleem are it!

25 characters is not enough to describe my gratitude for Dr. Seleem and his amazing staff. I love my new smile but most importantly how wonderful they treat me and my mom. They are professional yet you feel right at home. I never in a million years thought I would look forward to visiting the dentist yet I look forward to seeing them. Dr. Seleem is just a kind soul with amazing skills! Thankful for him and his team who have become my friends.

Wow wow wow wow I’ve been in search of a forever dentist that does it all, and had no such luck around Pasadena until NOW! I’ve been to Green Street Dental, Dentists of South Pasadena etc. First off, Crystal, at the front desk was warm and welcoming. I came here post COVID so she took my temperature and led me into the exam room. The exam room was clean, modern, and everything I would want in a dental exam room. Huge bonus is the large screen TV where you could watch Netflix as your teeth are getting photoed and X-Ray. The technician ( sorry I can’t remember her name) was also sweet, helpful, and made a usually uncomfortable process seamless. Next came doctor Seleem! He actually sat down with me and discussed my dental health. Yes folks MDs still sit down with you and listen and educate you!! I was A-MAZED I definitely recommend this dental office! You won’t be disappointed.

Came in for an exam and talked about my short goals and long term goals for my teeth. Dr seleem was very nice and charming. He talked through the different processes of braces vs invisiline and dental implants. He did a thorough job of explaining what would work the best, concerns and the reasons why. His staff are SO nice and have very soothing voices when they speak which help a lot when you have anxiety about dental work. Kristal is the best, she did an awesome job for going through the pre-treatment quote from my insurance. She even double checked when she noticed something was off on the quote. Every one is so nice!! Would give them 50 stars if i could!! Never thought i’d say that im looking forward to my future appointment coming up.

I’m profoundly thankful that Dr. Seleem and his staff for living up to the name Art of Smiles. I’ve been searching for 10+ years for the right dental office. Art of Smiles is the office that I’ve been searching for. It’s picture perfect; the office is always kept clean and organized. I love how they have a large jar in the front desk full of chapsticks; and in the restroom, they have toothbrushes. The staff that works with Dr. Seleem are knowledgeable and share key facts on maintaining your teeth. The front desk receptionist Krystal is amazing! I love her work ethics and she is ALWAYS polite and courteous. Krystal is the back bone of the office. I’m glad she knows everything about insurance, because she always explains to me the process. Krystal has answered my uncertainties in regards insurance and billing. Krystal is a keeper I entered the office greeted with her smile, and I leave satisfied. Their hygienist went above and beyond when she did my deep cleaning, and thank you for flossing my teeth. Dr. Seleem has transformed my smile. Dr. Seleem never fails to leave me speechless and in shock too. He has created my smile into an art piece, and he has given me my smile back. I literally, have shown my family how great my teeth look. I’m astonished how fast and precise Dr. Seleem works on my teeth. I can honestly say that I’m looking forward to my last two treatments. Thank you Dr. Seleem for taking care of my daughter’s teeth at the age of 6 years old. She loves to go to the dental office, because you are gentle and you make her feel comfortable. The search has ended we will be lifelong clients. Thank you Dr. Seleem and staff Natalie B.

Over the span of two years, I have seen several dentists and even a neurologist for pain in my face and molar. The neurologist put me on medication. 1/19 Although that medication helped, my molar still hurt. I wanted another opinion. At Art of Smiles, the dentist, Dr. Saleem, recommended a CT scan, and they had the CT machine in their office. Cost: $350. The CT scan clearly showed what the X-rays couldn’t, I had an infected molar with bone loss. I was prescribed antibiotics to try to save the molar. Update: 5/19 I had the second root canal on the painful molar in January 2019 by a specialist. Three months later, the molar still hurt. I needed another opinion. I saw another specialist, Dr. Cobin who recommended a molar extraction and an implant. Dr. Saleem extracted the molar pain free, and he inserted “bone” into that area. He showed me the molar and the abscess that he removed. It couldn’t be seen clearly by the Xrays or even the CT scan because it was growing in between the large roots. My insurance doesn’t cover implants. Kristal, Office Staff, offered me a payment plan with zero per cent interest for 18 months. I’m so grateful to Dr. Saleem and his staff who have coordinated all of the services he recommended. Dr. Saleem exudes a calm professional and confident manner. He explains everything. He and his staff are kind, patient and caring. They are a team! His office is beautiful and clean. Each room has a TV with Netflix and other cable programs with Bose hearing earphones. The waiting room offers water or coffee. I give Art of Smiles an A plus. Update: 2/2020. Dr. Saleem and his office staff provide excellent service. The implant screw is in place now. I’m just waiting for my implant. Update: 6/2020 Covid 19 delayed the implant completion. Dr. Saleem opened his office. He has many anti Covid 19 systems in place. Each room has an air purifier. Staff and Dr. wear masks. The office counter has clear protective barriers. My temperature was taken and I rinsed my mouth with a solution before Dr. examined my molar. Unfortunately, I still have pain on the left side of my mouth. My neurologist and dentist are working together. Update: 7/28/20. Covid delayed the implant work, but it was installed today. It was painless. I’m very happy with Dr. Saleem’s work and helpful staff. I continue to recommend Dr. Saleem.

I’m back again! I wanted to add that my family now goes to see Dr. Saleem which says a lot because my granddaughter’s mom is NOT a fan of dentists, but she called me after her first visit and thanked me because she didn’t leave in tears like she has with other dentists. She’s been a regular now going on a year and my granddaughter, daughter and my son!! We’re making this a true family affair!! LOL! I will continue to refer everyone to Dr. Saleem and his fantastic team! Thank you Art of Smiles for your continued dedication to your craft and your patients!!! MUAH!!

Dr Seleem is one of the best teeth veneer specialists in the area, his service s very professional and meticulous. He was extraordinarily patient in doing multiple fittings and temporary moldings. If you’re looking to find a professional who makes it his/her personal goal to help their clients achieve cosmetic improvements using healthy and sustainable methods, look no farther! Kristal at the front desk is amazing and you can be sure to rely on her for emergencies, scheduling, and questions. Erik from Haupt Dental Lab was the best we’ve worked with in terms of the aesthetic and quality of teeth veneers.

I needed to find a new dentist and saw the recommendations for this office. It was very easy to find and accessible with parking. The staff was super friendly and the doctor very knowledgeable and thorough. The whole office is stylish with state of the art equipment and you could watch any Netflix show as they work on your teeth. The hygienist who cleaned my teeth was careful and made sure I was comfortable. The doctor took time to explain the extensive work i needed to have done on my crowns, cavities and fillings. The only downside is just how costly it all is to repair … highly recommend

Given, that this is my first visit with this dentist office for me and my son, I can honestly say I really enjoyed my experience. The check -in was easy and smooth. I was able to sign all my dentist forms electronically and the front desk associate explained every form to me throughly. The wait time to see the dentist was not long at all and everyone was nice and friendly including Dr. Seleem.Moreover, the exam rooms were clean and high tech. In the exam room, you are able to take your ex -rays and watch tv (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) and relax comfortably without switching rooms all while waiting to be seen by Dr. Seleem. Additionally, Dr. Seleem is a very nice and sincere dentist. He truly cares about your concerns and listens carefully to your questions to give you clear answers. Further, the Hygienist Melissa was phenomenal with the cleaning process and took her time and fully cleaned my teeth completely. In closing, I highly recommend Dr. Seleem’s dentist office and services. Their customer service was amazing and he’s office is very high tech and modern. All of the staff were great and answered all my questions. Thank you all and keep up the great job!

The staff was excellent and the office was clean and beautiful. The receptionist, I forgot her name was the sweetest and made me feel so welcome,explained any procedures that needed to be done/gave me pricing before and after my visit that was recommended per the dentist. Loved her! The hygienist as well was super friendly and made me feel at ease as I am not a big fan of the dentist/haven’t been seen for years yet was so great and knowledgeable explaining things and stopping several times to ask how I was doing during my cleaning. Dr Saleem was excellent and we went through all of my issues that needed to be done. Felt good about the visit and feeling good about returning soon. I highly recommend them, I feel so much better about finally getting in to see a dentist after such a long time!!

I actually never leave reviews on Yelp, but I really wanted to send a thank you to Dr. Seleem and his staff for being so accommodating, friendly and helpful. I came in with a botched veneer job from a previous dentist with a bitter, jaded attitude towards dentist’s in general with a hope this one would fix my teeth. Thanks to Dr. Saleem actually knowing what he’s doing, my teeth look amazing now! He’s one of the few dentists out there who has integrity in this profession. He genuinely cares about his work and his patients. I can’t stress this enough Dr. Saleem is a great dentist you can trust. If you live in the area and need a new dentist then go to Art of Smiles. Thanks again Art of Smiles! 🙂

Lets start with the office, it is new, and very nice. You feel clean and relaxed being in there. Very high tech and comfortable, TVs available with headphones at all stations, well decorated, etc. Next, the staff. These are the nicest most professional staff at a dentist office we have ever dealt with. My husband has been to 4 dentists before this one, and although all were somewhat nice, they each had their issues, when it came to insurance and payments, procedures, quality of work or service, quality of staff, etc. they each had their flaws. After having completed his entire treatment plan, he raves about this office. Their staff have helped us on the finances side and made it very simple for us, always made us feel welcome and are over the top accommodating and responsible. They really care about their patients. They also follow up with us before an appointment to make sure we don’t forget. Lastly, the Doctor is incredible. He is extremely nice, but his skill and know-how is superior to all other dentists my husband has been to. Always friendly, he also explains everything that he will be doing and lays it all out and makes you feel very comfortable. Will all the work done on my husband, my husband never once complained about pain afterwards, which is amazing considering my husband doesn’t take pain killers. This just goes to show how amazing the doctors work really is. This office has EARNED our business for as long as we live in LA. We love them and truly recommend them to anyone looking for a very high quality dentist. ML, Angela & Mike

Dr. Seleem and his staff are excellent. I switched to his office from my previous dentist of over 10 years. My previous dentist couldn’t get a composite filling to stay on one tooth, and told me that I couldn’t do anything about it. Dr. Seleem put one on the same tooth, and I’ve had no problem with it for almost 7 months.

A trip to the dentist is never something a person looks forward to. But our visit to Art of Smiles was easy, painless, and actually pleasant! I called to schedule appointments for my husband, father-in-law, and myself since we were all due for check ups and cleaning. The lovely receptionist, Lauren, was kind enough to accommodate all of us on the same day, at the same time. We were amazed by the office the moment we stepped inside! It is the most modern, clean, and chic dental office! They even have televisions to watch movies while you’re being worked on! Dr. Seleem was thorough with all 3 of us. He went over our x-rays and explained in detail everything he was doing or going to do. By the way… they use digital x-rays which make it 90% safer! Dr. Seleem was fast and efficient, all the while making sure that we were comfortable during our cleaning. Thank you, Dr. Seleem & staff! We are definitely happy to be part of the ‘Art of Smiles’ family!

Had an awesome experience with a routine cleaning here the other day! I work in Pasadena, and after several unpleasant experiences with other dental practices in the area, I wanted to try a new place for a cleaning. I decided on Art of Smiles by seeing several recent 5-star reviews from those sharing their own experiences. With the current pandemic, I was nervous to go in for a cleaning, but Art of Smiles made me feel very safe and comfortable the whole time. All patients are asked to park, remain in their car, and wait for an associate to conduct a screening before being allowed to enter the building. Everyone in the office was very kind and understanding, and I get the impression that they are honest and caring workers. As a little backstory, the reason I was so inclined to switch dentists was due to previous practices billing my insurance for codes other than routine dental cleaning and requiring an out-of-pocket cost from me even though my insurance is supposed to cover routine cleanings in full. I only discovered this by calling Delta Dental and finding out that other billing codes had been submitted in my claims. It was very frustrating for me to try to find a dentist that I could trust, so I’m happy that my experience was so positive at Art of Smiles. My cleaning, x-rays, and oral exam were all very professional, thorough, and comfortable. Thanks so much to all the staff!!! I’ll certainly be back 🙂

Dr. Saleem is kind, friendly, and experienced with many different dental problems. He is currently putting in an implant since I lost a molar. He tried to save my molar, but it wasn’t possible. He treats my daughter, my son and myself. We all agree that Dr. Saleem is the best dentist we have worked with. His staff is wonderful too. His office is beautiful. He offers free coffee and water to his patients. He uses the latest technology.

First and foremost, I’m a dentist myself, so I like to think I know what I’m talking about when reviewing another dentist. Not only do I trust Dr. Seleem to work on my mouth, but my dad had an extraction, ridge augmentation, implant placement, and crown, as well. I can, with full confidence, recommend Dr. Seleem to anyone, and know that they will receive the best care possible. Dr. Seleem uses only the best equipment, materials, and labs. He also attends multiple seminars to further his education and skills, I know because he tells me to do the same every time I see him. Seriously, if you’re looking for a dentist you can trust, and have confidence that you’re getting the best care available, give them a call!
