PATIENT REVIEWS

After 10 years of putting off getting my wisdom teeth extracted, I finally decided it was time. I wasn’t having pain or discomfort but I want to get Invisalign and I knew this was the first step. I consulted with two other doctors before deciding on Dr. Polyakov. He took X-rays just as the previous doctors had but unlike the other two doctors, he suggested a ct scan and boy, I’m glad he did!! From the scan we learned that one of the teeth was wrapped around my nerve. I couldn’t believe the other doctors would’ve gone into the surgery blind. Another tooth was so impacted that there was a possibility of a sinus infection. My other two teeth were also impacted so this wasn’t going to be an easy surgery. I appreciated Dr. Polyakov’s thoroughness from the initial consultation and felt confident he could get the job done. As you can imagine, I was extremely nervous on the day of my surgery but Dr. Polyakov and his staff made me feel at ease. All I remember was falling asleep for what felt like 10 minutes. When I woke up, I was sitting in a recliner with my husband staring at me. I woke up giggling and trying to text my family and friends about how it was over already. The recovery wasn’t bad at all. Strong pain medication usually upsets my stomach so I was able to get by on Advil. I was back to normal (minus some swelling) after just 3 days. I’m so happy to have found Dr. Polyakov and cannot thank him enough for his experience & professionalism.

It has been a pleasure seeking treatment from Dr. Polyakov and his staff. The office is about as clean as you will ever find from any office and the staff is as professional and respectful to match. Dr. Polyakov does such a great implant and work that I want sure that when he had done my extraction, that it was done. The complete job was as smooth as could be. I needed to have the and do not even recall the procedure themselves. That pretty much speaks for itself. The best part is this was all work related and Nika was all over the carrier to see that they authorized the work needed. All I can say is thank you for the sport and care for my new chompers along with Dr. Sobelman and his staff. Bob

5 stars to the whole Synergy team! I can’t say enough about Dr Polyakov and his team… I had to have my wisdom teeth out and was terrified…My friends had bad experiences with Oral Surgeons, long periods of pain and swelling. I had consults with multiple oral surgeons but on the advice of my co worker went Dr Polyakov and i’m so thankful that I did. The office is amazing! Carissa and Nicole , up front are super helpful. Leslie was very caring and nurturing . Dr Polyakov was fantastic, with great bed side manner and he is an absolutely amazing and skillful surgeon. My surgery went easily, quickly and was almost pain free. Will highly recommend Dr Polyakov and his team to everyone!!! Thank you Synergy once again!

It was the most wonderful dental experience I ever had. I was greeted by Masha and she made me so comfortable while I fill out some necessary information for their records. I was then brought to another room and met Natalie. She was so nice and accommodating and told me all about the pre-surgery and also told me on how to take care of myself after surgery. I was then greeted by Dr. Polyakov who decided to have all 4 of my wisdom teeth taken. He was very easy to understand and very professional and he never let you feel awkward. He even gave me a tap on my should telling me that I will be okay. I eventually had my wisdom teeth removed the following week. What surprised me was that everything was so quick. They laid me on the dental chair, made me comfortable and had me relax then next thing you know they woke me up and told me that the procedure was done! I think everything was done within ~45mins. I never felt any heavy pain. I was back to my normal self. I followed all of their procedures such as taking my antibiotics, cleaning my mouth with warm salt water and they gave me a list of foods to take(they’d even gave me a sample of mac and cheese. Hahaha!) . Dr. Polyakov even called me that evening to see if I were okay. Thanks again for a wonderful experience guys! I will refer you to all of my friends and family members.

We highly recommend Dr. Polyakov and his entire staff.  Over the course of the last 1 1/2 years, my family has utilized his services for both dental implant surgery and wisdom teeth extraction.  Each time we were greeted with a friendly and extremely capable staff.  Our procedures were explained at length to each of us and we were made to feel very comfortable with all of our questions answered in detail.  All three of our procedures could not have gone smoother. You will not be disappointed with Dr. Polyakov and his staff should you need oral surgery.

I was referring patients to Dr. Polyakov for years and when my patients asked me to recommend an oral surgeon, i always answered referring to him “there is only one oral surgeon that I refer to”. Knowing that he is an excellent surgeon, I came to him as a patient. He exceeded my already very high expectations. His new office is the state of the art, his staff is great, he is an amazing and highly skilled surgeon, and I would recommend to go to him only, if you need a service of an oral surgeon for any type of extraction, implant placement/s, or any other service within his scope of specialty.

The best dental experience ever.  My visit at Dr Polyakov’s office couldn’t have been any better and doing my oral surgery implant there overall couldn’t have been better anywhere else.  I was nervous to have my oral surgery that morning. However as soon as I arrived at Dr Polyakov’s office, I was never given the chance to feel scared anymore. I was greeted by his office staff with smiling faces that definitely put my nerves to rest. My scheduled appointment was right on time which I love because as we all know no one likes to be in a waiting room for long. When I got into the big comfy dental chair I was already feeling relaxed by the cheerful vibe in the room by his nurses who were on top of everything that needed to be done. Professional as always Dr Polyakov entered the room as a Dr in charge and proceeded with the procedure as the pro he is. When I awakened. I couldn’t believe it was over. It was quick, painless and I was happy. Couldn’t believe I wasn’t even swollen since a tooth was extracted. Another thing about Dr. Polyakov is that he calls you the same night after surgery and ask you how you are doing.  Loved that he checked up on me.  I highly and truly recommend this oral surgeon for all your dental needs. His office had all the latest technology and his work was precise. I have not been in any pain whatsoever, which I attribute to the wonderful work Dr. Polyakov did.

Hi everyone out there who needs to take care of their teeth but so afraid to get it done. Nobody likes to go to the dentist, myself included. But as my mom says “if you don’t go to the dentist you will end up  running to the dentist”. And this is exactly what happened to me last week. I had a severe pain and I had to go and get two of my wisdom teeth pulled out. A procedure that was already few years past due. I had no choice. I was referred to Dr. Poliakov as a specialist by my general dentist, Dr. Omid Daniel Cohanim. From the moment my husband called the office and talked with Veronica to schedule the appointment till the post procedure phase everything went smoothly and extremely professional. I got an appointment schedule right away. When I walked in I was welcomed by a very kind and attentive front office stuff who was kind and made me feel less stressed right a way. Then the nurse Pricilia escorted me into the exam room and explained to me what is about to be done. Then Dr. Poliakov came in and explained and demonstrated the issue I had and told me the different anesthesia options (did you know you can sleep throughout the procedure?). I felt right a way that I can trust myself into his reliable hands and decided to do the procedure with injections only. The most unpleasant part was the injections, like in any dentistry procedure. The actual procedure took about 10 minutes and was easy and seemed to be pretty simple. The nurse explained everything throughout which made me feel comfortable and more relaxed. I walked down stairs right after and picked up my kids from school 3 hours later by myself. Dr Poliakov called me personally that evening to follow up and I have an appointment to go see him for a follow up in two weeks time. I sleep better at night and my mouth feels much more balanced without these teeth. I have no pain or discomfort. I do not usually have the time to sit down and write a review but I thought it is important for the well being of all of us. IN SUMMERY: I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE PROFESSIONALISM AND GREAT CARE OF DR POLIAKOV AND HIS STUFF LONG AGO. THE PROCEDURE WAS EASY AND THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS POSITIVE ALL TOGETHER. I URGE YOU TO GO TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH IT IS WELL WORTH IT AND MUCH EASIER THAN YOU IMAGINE !

I would say hands down the best and most professional oral surgeons office from all aspects. From the initial phone call, Dr. Polyakov’s staff is very kind and curteous. They do not mind spending 5 minutes or an hour explaning the details and steps of the procedure so that you feel 100% comfortable. The use I.V. sedation so you do not even have to be awake during the procedure which my insurance luckily covered most of. It was a total of 3 appointments… initial consult, procedure, follow up. On the day of the extraction it was literally an hour in and out, done. Thank you again for remaining one of the last few ethical practices in LA. I will recommend this office to anyone for any oral surgery procedure.

I just had 2 of my wisdom teeth extracted by Dr Polyakov.  Everyone at his office is really friendly and efficient.  The procedure itself took no time at all and I was in and out of the office within an hour (this included being put to sleep with anesthetia – the best part is waking up after this!).  I experienced no swelling and barely needed to use the pain medication prescribed to me.  I had been pretty nervous after knowing a lot of people who had terrible experiences, but this couldn’t have been any easier for me.  I would recommend Dr Polyakov to anyone needing dental surgery.  I’m now just waiting until I need to have my 2 other wisdom teeth removed so I can come back and see him again!

I got 3 wisdom teeth out here with Dr Polyakov and the procedure was quick and easy. Jen and all the girls up front were so sweet & very helpful with my millions of questions. When I was like in the chair getting ready for the procedure and they hooked up the IV to be put under I was super nervous because I had never been put under before. I got worried and said “hey I don’t think it’s working..” and then I woke up and the whole thing was done. Absolutely mind blowing. They wheeled me out and took care that I was safe with my friend that picked me up. Great experience. Would do it again if I had more wisdom teeth left

I had an amazing experience at this office. I am someone who has been traumatized by past experiences. From the moment I arrived everyone in the office was super friendly. Dr. Polyakov was extremely patient and answered all of my questions. I felt very comfortable with him during the consultation. My experience was great and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to care for me. I am really thankful to everyone in the office and appreciate how helpful and kind they were. Even when I had questions or concerns they were always willing to help and make sure I had what I needed. If your looking for a professional office with an amazing and trustworthy staff, this is the place to go.

My dentist told me I needed to have my wisdom teeth pulled out. She gave me a list with a few Dental Oral Surgeons. I called them up as well as a few that I found online myself and Synergy’s stood out. I made an appointment with them the same week. The consultation was free, the x rays they charge you for, but if your dentist has the good high quality ones then they can send them over and it won’t cost you. I got to the office which is in Beverly Hills you can park at the Neiman Marcus parking lot I believe or I parked at the meter across the street from the Starbucks. It’s $3 for 2 hours and a 2 min walk. The office is on the 4th floor. I got there was greeted by the staff and started filling out paperwork. Right away I liked the energy of the office as well as the decor and overall cleanliness and professionalism of everything. No long waiting, everything moved along smoothly. Next after paperwork I was lead into the dental chair, answered a few more questions and from there we went to the neat little x ray machine. Got those done then back to the dental chair. 5-10 min later Dr. Polyakov walks in and takes a good 20 min to go through my X-ray, explains my options, his thoughts, opinions, even things like proper apparel for surgery and asked if I have any questions which I very much appreciated. Next when he’s done the other lady walks in with the price break down, I agreed, I thought it was a fair cost for what I needed done. Everything was confirmed and my surgery was scheduled for the following week. They also wrote out a prescription for meds that I would need to take after surgery. I got a text reminder the day before surgery where you confirm, along with a video telling me what to expect for during and after surgery, again I thought this was all very professional. I went with my friend for surgery I was required to for my procedure so I have someone to drive me home after. I got to the office, was greeted, paid my surgery bill and went to the surgery room. It was all smooth sailing, before you know it Dr.Polyakov is in there talking to you, making you feel comfortable. Some people have the option of being awake for the surgery for my procedure I had to be asleep. Before you know it, it’s all done and you are waking up. They give you these special napkins  you put in the back of your mouth for the blood and when I was all awake the lady even rolled me out on a wheel chair from the office to the car, It was very sweet. During the day I relaxed and Dr.Polyakov personally called me to check up how I was feeling! It was a very nice gesture! This is day two I’m relaxing again, taking the meds no huge pain or swelling I was able to eat light foods. I have an appointment scheduled in 2 weeks with them where they check on everything and this is included in the original cost. I highly highly recommend Dr.Polyakov’s Synergy and his staff for implants and dental surgery procedures, the whole experience and professionalism surpassed all my expectations!

This is my first time writing a Yelp review. Let me just say this – My experience with Dr. Polykov and his staff was my BEST medical experience of any kind that I have had EVER! Seriously, I was floored! These people really care about customer service. All the staff are very friendly. They greet you with a smile right away, shake your hand, introduce themselves, look you in the eye, make jokes. You get the feeling they are all trying to impress you. The office is super clean and modern. In the waiting area there is a tv screen that shows different animated dental operations (was interesting). I went in for a consultation (had already having seen another Oral Surgeon, who I decided not to go with) re. the extraction of my four wisdom teeth. Dr. Polyakov was very thorough explaining everything. Helpful videos were shown so I could understand the procedure, and I was given a mirror so that he could show me things in my own mouth. He answered all of my questions. I did not feel rushed. He went through all the potential negative issues that could occur (and talked about what I am more or less at risk of being affected by). Then we went through what my insurance would cover, and they had this all straight. I went ahead and booked an appointment for a few days later! I picked up my prescription pain killers and antibiotics at the pharmacy downstairs so that I would be all prepared for the day of. On the day of the extraction, I went in, was quickly shown to the room where the surgery was to be done. Priscilla went over (again) what I should do after the operation (they gave me a paper that outlined when I should take which medication, she reviewed this another time after I came to). Dr. Polyakov came in, greeted me warmly, started the drip, and… I woke up and it was all done! That night, Dr. Polyakov called me to make sure I was ok! Because I was leaving the country a few days later, I returned to Synergy for a FREE checkup – the stitches were removed and I was instructed on how to clean the area that was still healing (they gave me a mirror and I watched as they showed me how it is done). Two weeks later, when I returned to LA, I had another FREE checkup, where Dr. Polyakov made sure that everything was healing as it should (which it is). They insisted that if I felt any discomfort or thought it might be infected, I should come in again, no charge. Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is what medical attention should be in this country. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Polyakov and his staff.

Highly recommend Dr. Polyakov and his stellar team over at Synergy Dental! Here is my story:  I had been putting off getting all four wisdom teeth pulled for quite awhile. Finally in my mid 30’s I decided to do it. After researching reviews on Yelp to help with my search for the best oral surgeon I could find, I came across Dr. Polyakov’s Synergy Dental Beverly Hills. Luckily they took my insurance and scheduled me in for a consultation at my earliest request. The office is in a premiere location in BHills, and the office itself is beautifully appointed, spotless, and with the best staff I’ve ever experienced at a dental office. Everything from the service to the office and expertise of Dr. Polyakov was high-end and I’d highly recommend to anyone! During the consultation, I was still extremely nervous about the procedure, but the associate was very patient with me, answered every question I had, and made sure I fully understood the procedure. She assured me Dr. Polyakov has been doing these routine surgeries for many years, and they do this all day there in that office, which when put into that perspective, made me feel alot more comfortable. They showed me a video simulation of the procedure so you fully understand what they do which was helpful. I was able to schedule my extractions a week later on a Friday and everything went smoothly. I went home and carefully followed the instructions and my husband took great care of me. Miraculously, my face didn’t even swell at all! I went back for my follow up two weeks later and everything was in order. One of my impacted bottom teeth had a deep hole which is normal when it is that impacted I guess, and I made special care to be very careful and gently keep it as clean as can be with a syringe they gave me which sprays water into the hole to make sure no food gets stuck. Overall, everything healed perfectly as I was sure to follow all instructions, and the Dr. and team made me feel comfortable. I highly recommend this place to anyone especially if you’re afraid like I was, and need the perfect office of professionals to make you feel at ease. Thanks, Dr. Polyakov and team!

DON’T EVEN THINK about going somewhere else to get your wizzies pulled!! Dr. Polyakov and his team are absolutely INCREDIBLE!! I’m beyond impressed by the whole experience, and very very thankful. Thanks to Yelp, too, and everyone who left a review – I wouldn’t find this place if not you guys. When my tooth started bothering me on Saturday, I freaked out. I’ve had the worst possible experience with my other lower wisdom tooth removal a few years back. I was tortured for over an hour and my cheek stayed swollen for almost 5 months due to constant abscess. All these years I’ve been terrified to get another wisdom tooth extracted..     So I called Dr. Polyakov’s office first thing Monday morning, and was getting the x-rays and (free) consultation an hour later! The whole team is so welcoming and makes you feel very comfortable. We scheduled the surgery for the next day. I would probably go with the intravenous if I had to have 3-4 wisdom teeth removed, but for my one tooth I chose local anesthesia. You can definitely feel a little pain/discomfort with local, but for 2-minute procedure – totally tolerable!  Yes, the extraction took 2 minutes! it’s UNBELIEVABLE!!  I closed my eyes expecting the worst and in like 1.5 minutes I hear “Ok, it’s out”! next 10 seconds he sewed it up and it was all done!   It’s 24 hrs after the surgery, and I have almost NO swelling (only noticeable by me), very little pain, and I’m running errands already. Just amazing. I could probably go party if I wanted 🙂   THANK YOU so much Dr. Polyakov, Priscilla, Nika, and Masha!   P.S. parking is free for 2 hrs at Neiman Marcus with validation.

Really nice staff and Dr. Polyakov didn’t make me feel dumb or treat me like I was just a patient he was going to cut open. He had me watch what the surgery would consist of and what it would look like if I chose the other options. He showed me on patients what happened when they did it other ways. He gave me all of my options, worked with me on every aspect of the surgery. I decided to stay awake during the surgery because I was only extracting 1 tooth. The whole time, his crew explained what was happening and if I was in any discomfort, they made sure I was taken care of. They also triple checked every part of the surgery to make sure everything was done correctly. Not only that, but after the surgery, they called me twice. Once with a office person and the second call was the doctor himself. I’ve been to really crappy dentists or dental surgeons. He breaks the mold and is really great!

My dentist told me I needed to have my wisdom teeth pulled out. She gave me a list with a few Dental Oral Surgeons. I called them up as well as a few that I found online myself and Synergy’s stood out. I made an appointment with them the same week.

I highly highly recommend Dr.Polyakov’s Synergy and his staff for implants and dental surgery procedures, the whole experience and professionalism surpassed all my expectations!

Dr.Polyakov and his team are awesome. The office is beautiful with up to date modern technology. I was referred to Dr. Polyakov for dental implants. My surgery was virtually planed using 3D technology. The procedure was fast and painless. I did not have any swelling or pain after my surgery. Doctor called me to check on how I was doing after surgery. He is caring, knowlegeable, attentive, and treats his patients with respect. I am taking my mom next week to see Dr. Polyakov for a tooth removal. I highly recommend this place. Great experience. Will go there again if need too.

I feared the unknown procedure and the pain of installing an implant.   After my first consultation with Dr. Polyakov all my fears and reservations were alleviated.  He and his staff explained everything and were very caring and sensitive to my needs.  I was very comfortable throughout the procedures with little or no pain and informed for every step of the way.  I even got a personal call from Dr. Polyakov to check on me at the end of the day.  It made me feel that I was in good hands.  When my Dentist referred me to the Surgeon that she uses, I felt I was in the right place and I would recommend Dr. Polyakov to anyone else.

It has been a pleasure seeking treatment from Dr. Polyakov and his staff. The office is about as clean as you will ever find from any office and the staff is as professional and respectful to match. Dr. Polyakov does such a great implant and work that I want sure that when he had done my extraction, that it was done. The complete job was as smooth as could be.

All I can say is thank you for the sport and care for my new chompers along with Dr. Sobelman and his staff. Bob

I don’t write a lot of reviews, but really wanted to complement Dr.Polyakov and his team. I had to get two teeth replaced with implants because of the bad root canals. I was scared… Dr.Polyakov explained the whole process from A to Z. The surgery went great, I only took Advil for a couple of days, didn’t even take strong pain medication the doctor prescribed. I went to work the next day! Thank you Dr. Polyakov and the girls at Synergy for making the “feared procedure” so easy! Would highly recommend the office and Dr.Polyakov! 5 stars!!!

Dr. Polyakov and his team are awesome. I was referred to multiple oral surgeons and periodontists for an implant to replace a root canal in a front tooth and was told each time that I would require a “flipper” or other temporary that had to be taken out to eat for 6-9 mo during a 3 step process. I kept searching because that felt like removing my tooth to eat was antiquated and not a solution. When I walked into Synergy I felt like I had stepped into the future; Synergy is state of the art and cutting edge. The 3-D x-ray confirmed I was a candidate for a same day extraction and placement of an implant that would not be removed to eat. Two weeks later, I was back to have the tooth extracted and a permanent titanium implant was placed in the morning. By early afternoon I even had the same cap placed and the result was so similar my wife couldn’t tell the difference.

I’m a brazilian studying abroad here in the US and needed to have my two right side wisdom teeth removed. I decided to see Dr Polyakov after reading all the reviews here in Yelp. I had my two left side wisdom teeth already removed in Brazil but nothing compared to the service I got from Dr Polyakov and his staff. Not to mention all the attention before and after surgery (what everybody already did here, and believe me it’s a 10) but what most impressed me was the efficiency  and ability of the Dr. himself during the procedure. I did it with just local anesthesia and even having one tooth impacted and the other semi-impacted he took about 5min to take it out. In Brazil, the Dr. took about 40min, breaking my tooth in two and doing a LOT of pressure to remove. The main point about it is that spending less time and damage to remove the teeth, Dr. Polyakov gave me a faster and no traumatizing recovery. The 1st dentist that I recommend. Thanks a lot Dr.

Dr. Polyakov is the BEST!!!. AMAZING OFFICE! I have been looking for an oral surgeon for a long time and I am so happy that I have found the ONE. I need to have my 4 wisdom teeth removed. My good experience with this office started from the initial phone call talking to Dr. Polyakov receptionist, so I have made an appointment.  When I came in for a consultation office staff made me fill comfortable right aways with their welcoming and professional attitude. There was no waiting time at all, I was seen by the doctor within few minutes. Dr. Polyakov  did panoramic xray and the exam explaining in details  why I need the surgery and how it is going to be done. He is knowledgeable, very experienced, professional and caring. After this consultation I knew that I have found the right doctor to do my surgery. I was put under(general anesthesia) for my surgery, the process was very quick and painless. I was given pain meds and antibiotics after the surgery. I only took pain meds for the first day after, did not need any more, there was NO PAIN. I was not swollen and came back to work the next day. I would definitely come for any oral surgery with confidence! Great experience!!!

I was really hesitant about having my wisdom teeth pooled. Because I needed all 4 of them extracted. Dr. Polyakov came higly recommended. My friend had to go to him when his dentist screwed up his teeth extraction. I though I would have to do it in two visits, but Doc said that he could do it in one visit. Office was nice and his staff was very procfessional, so I’ve decided to take my chances. To my surprise, the whole procedure took about 10 minutes. They gave me some follow up instructions and some medication. I did not even get any swelling and was able to go back to work the next day. I was very impressed.  Dr. Polyakov rocks!!!!!

I got my wisdom teeth about two weeks ago and the procedure couldn’t have gone more smoothly. I’ve heard so many horror stories about my friends and was extremely nervous about getting mine removed, especially since I despise any form of dental work, even just going to the dentist. But I could not sing his praises more. The procedure took only 20 minutes for me and the staff was extremely helpful, caring, and professional.
After the third day I had no more need for pain medicine at all and I never had any pain or problems, not even dry socket which everyone seems to fear most. For my check up 2 weeks later I was in and out in 10 minutes and the staff even remembered with details who I was. I would highly recommend Dr. Polyakov for any oral procedures.

* * * Scroll down to cut to the chase As the entire frame of my face is strapped in full circle to a sleek (smooth and comfortable), black and elastic (velcro ends) band with inserted iced gel packs, I propel myself up with MUCH glee after a nap from the residual sedative, to haul over to the computer and express my thanks to Dr. Polyakov and staff. At first I was afraid, I was PETRIIIFIEEDDDDDD about the whole thing. [why? because I knew a surgical procedure (cutting through the bone/sedation…) would’ve been required, and that also meant antibiotics, which sucks because… I still take gummy vitamins. Plus, I’m extremely allergic to a few kinds of antibiotics… so far.] Anyway, time had finally arrived to conjure up some courage and face the inevitable; the extraction of threeeeee wisdom teeth. THREE. All at once! And after realising that there’d be no other way around it, the question was… Who would be the right oral surgeon to trust?! Or better yet, which Yelp reviews to rely on?? General dentist? Out of the question. Some do fine work, I’m sure, but a nervous wreck who shivers like a chihuahua, should seek an individual who has seen it ALL in the field of that particular profession. But finding the right one.. how! You know, sometimes we can’t rely even on our own research. We won’t know for certain, until we go and experience it first-handedly. Just gotta FEEL that oomph (blind trust) sometimes, and know how to detect that little oomph. (I know, it’s hard to know when exactly to trust your intuition, it’s frustrating, I feel you) I ended up not using my health insurance for this and entirely abandoned the prospect of going to an oral surgeon within my network, because after consulting with a few, I didn’t FEEL (there goes that word again) comfortable with proceeding with any one of them. (Who knows, they could’ve been great, but my paranoia didn’t allow me to FEEL okay, rational or not.) * * * Cutting to the chase, I’m sooooooo happy I decided to trust Dr. Vladimir Polyakov. He was soooo gentle with me right from the beginning, even after I gasped several times in horror during the animated demo of the procedure (“Please don’t be nervous, you will then make me nervous”)… (but then that, in turn, also made me nervous, so I had to suppress my anxiety in order to accommodate his needs for a smooth and steady operation. Keep.your.cool. Let the man apply his skill with confidence. Don’t hinder him by potentially opening up a can of worms filled with self-doubt!). Esme (Esmerelda), Jennifer, Diana, Flora, the woman who wheeled me out, Dr. Polyakov.. thank youuuu sooo muchhh for EVERYTHING, for being SO kind and helpful, reassuring me every SINGLE step of the way with nothing but smiles, care and insight. Even right before I went into sleep, and from the moment I woke up, their approach was sooooo gentle, thoroughly and calmly verbalising every step about to be taken. Hardly noticeable swelling (ice pack aka head gear still, just in case), minor bleeding, not needing the prescribed painkillers, follow-up call from Dr. Polyakov himself. I couldn’t be more grateful and pleased with the WHOLE process!!! Heading back in a couple of weeks for post-op care. So happy, don’t know what the hell I was so nervous about heh, I really was in good hands all along. *dancing inside*. Back to a pint of Jeni’s. Doctor’s orders. Soft foods only.

Another 5 stars for the team at Synergy and hats off to the technical wizard, Dr. V. Polyakov.  What he lacks in warmth gets made up in boat loads by his skill and technical expertise and all the warm fuzzy stuff is supplied with abundance by his super attentive and sensitive staff. My last tooth extraction was horrendous and done by a regular DDS, mistake #1 (see other dental reviews) in Brentwood. Now having the experience of an oral surgeon extract a tooth, Ill never have a regular DDS extract a tooth and synergy in particular will be my go to place. Quick overview-walked in, greeted by smiles and warmth at the front desk. CT scan of teeth is done (thats a pretty cool machine to have onsite) then entered a very tastefully finished procedure room. No TV or music but brought my iphone so no biggy. At my request, Lauren, the Dental Technician explains everything that is going to happen and brings me a-nice cozy blanket and stress ball and lets me know she’ll be watching out for me the whole procedure. My hands instantly start to warm up-the anxiety is beginning to fade. Dr P comes in, administers a few shots of novocaine and 10min later were ready to begin. (Im prepared for 20min of torture)
What I get instead, two wobbles a little pressure in my tooth-and voila…literally 2min later-infected tooth and crown, all removed. Another 2 min of cleaning up infection and boom-5min total-DONE! No pain, no swelling, all my fogginess was from taking anti anxiety meds which in hindsight, I didn’t even need! Walked out feeling like a boss!

Who wants to go get their teeth removed? The answer is no one. Well, thanks to Dr. Polyakov and his team my answer might still be no, but not because of my experience. Just because no one wants extractions. When I was told on a Thursday I needed to remove my wisdom teeth, my husband immediately called to schedule my appointment. What felt like the worse news and made me anxious was immediately put at ease when I walked into the office. From the moment you sign in at reception to the moment you’re walking out the door, everyone makes you feel like the top and only priority. I can’t recommend Dr. Polyakov enough . If you need any extractions or an oral surgeon in general, look no further! Dr. Polyakov is extremely detail oriented and very gentle… can’t recommend him enough!

I was recommended to Dr. V  by my regular dentist as I had an excruciating pain in one of my wisdom tooth that was just coming out, since I been putting off taking the teeth out, so I figured I might as well kill 2 birds wt one stone, in this case 4 teeth one doctor. This was two years ago So I guess this review is long over due. I went in for my consultation this was when they were in the other office, pretty basic. They take some xray, you see Dr. V he tells you what he thinks is the best option for you. Personally I fear any dentist office so I asked a lot of questions, and he was more than helpful. At the time he also discovered I had 3 extra tooth in my lower jaw. I asked him what he thought was the best option he said it was a 50/50 chance if it didn’t hurt I could leave them alone but ultimately my decision. So I said Doc just get this 4 wisdom tooth out for now! I went through the procedure, was swollen for a week some pain, and that’s it. You’re back like new. Fast forward to now, I decided I wanted to get braces (at my old age, you figure) but in order for the braces to work I needed to removed those extra teeth. I was nervous, bc it was nothing like removing wisdom teeth. Nevertheless I knew the only Doc I would feel at ease to do the surgery would be Dr. V. But for my own peace of mind I did seek a second opinion (less expensive) honestly it was a waist of my time. The doctor basically said he did not feel confident enough to do the surgery, as he was concerned he would damaged my nerves. In the other hand Dr. V was very confident that the surgery would turn out fine. I was explained every possibly outcome,  so I was prepared for the worst. Nunbnes, and the possibility of my nerve been damaged. I guess the fact that his well experience on this kind of procedures I felt comfortable the worst case scenario would not happen. Went through the procedure, he extracted them in 45 mins, it was less painful than getting all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed. I Started my invisaling and I am a very happy with all the work his done for me this past 2 years. Can’t thank him enough, for such an amazing job. And all the staff they are very helpful & friendly. Sadly and hopefully I won’t need any more work done, but Ultimately I would recommend Dr. V to all my family & friends. Don’t hesitate because you read one bad review with 3 star’s,  give him a chance and he would delivered the best.

Just returned from my follow up appt. I had an infection in my mouth on a tooth that had a root canal done several years ago. Dr Polykov once again exceeded all expectations, I got the tooth extracted and an implant put in all in ONE DAY. I chose to not go under, as I was driving myself. Normally when using local anesthetic at a dentist office it can be pretty painful when getting shot before going numb, but this office on the other hand uses the latest technology and they have a machine that does this and you can’t feel a thing! And you go totally numb. Amazing. Tooth came out, then bone graph and implant done. Waited a couple hours ( while I had lunch and went shopping ) for the lab to make my temporary tooth and then a couple mins to put it in. The best part of it is I feel and felt NO PAIN had no swelling and basically did not have to interrupt my daily life at all. When it comes to any dental surgery this place is the only place I will go! It can’t get any better. I’m so grateful to dr Polykov and his wonderful staff, checking in with me constantly and working hard to accommodate any and all my needs. I can’t thank them enough for taking such good care of me!

Synergy and Carissa are all super heroes! I booked my wisdom teeth apt through a doctor who ended up not taking my insurance so I had to find someone last minute since I had already taken work off. Carissa made the process so incredibly easy, I didn’t know anyone could be so helpful! Paperwork etc was so easy thanks to these lovely ladies! Dr. Polyakov and his staff made me feel comfortable even though this was my first major procedure. The x-rays and procedure went so quickly and the day I had my surgery I had no pain at all and mainly stuck to just Advil. Since my body was recovering I was certainly tired for a couple days after the surgery, but barely any pain. They gave me a thing to hold the ice packs they gave me, to my face and a cute care package filled with ramen noodle and oatmeal! Would recommend Dr. Polyakov and the office to anyone and everyone!

Had my wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Polyakov recently and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I had been putting it off for as long as possible, but after waking up in extreme pain, I figured I’d have to get them removed. I called the office on a Monday at noon and got in for a consultation an hour later. The removal was quick and relatively painless. It was my first time going under anesthesia (I was stressing) but it ended up being a smooth experience. The staff are all great, very friendly and accommodating. They made the entire process  so easy… I’m forever grateful! Great office, very clean and aesthetically pleasing. Parking was really the only issue. There’s valet directly underneath the building but it’s very expensive. Overall, I would 100% recommend Dr. Polyakov and his team at Synergy!

I am endlessly grateful to have found Dr. Polyakov here on Yelp and thought it only fair to write a glowing review of my own! I had a wisdom tooth extracted by Dr. Polyakov less than a week ago and could not be happier with the service I received at his office. From the receptionist to the office staff to the doctor himself, every person I encountered was unbelievably warm, welcoming, sympathetic, and helpful. This is also a great office to go to for any Bruins out there seeing as I received a ton of enthusiasm regarding my status as a UCLA student from the office staff and the doctor himself (a proud Bruin through and through!). The day of the surgery went extraordinarily smoothly. After my surgery I got to sit and wake up a bit before being wheeled down to my car to be picked up by my friend who had graciously accompanied me for the big day. My friend was given very clear instructions on how to take care of me, as well as a packet of information that I would be able to read once I was recovered enough to actually read. I, honest to God, had ZERO swelling. I spent the day of the surgery in bed, but was up and about the next day – went to class and everything. Everybody who knew I was having surgery was shocked to see how quickly I’d recovered. I stopped taking my pain medication on the second day and switched to Advil – still no pain at all. If it weren’t for the hole where my tooth used to be, I wouldn’t even know I had surgery just days ago. As many others have attested, Dr. Polyakov’s office is very clean, professional, and up-to-date. The staff is wonderful and the doctor is an expert in what he does. I highly recommend anybody looking for top-notch dental care to see Dr. Polyakov and his staff! Thank you so much for such a painless experience!
