PATIENT REVIEWS

David Wagner has been my dentist for almost 4 years now. I found out about David from other friends that also recommended him. It seemed like all of the people I knew only had great words about David. During all of this years David has been nothing short of amazing. From a professional standpoint he is as good as they come. He will always find the best solution for whatever problem you might have. He is never satisfied as long as the final result is not 110% perfect. Sometimes you might think the final job is perfect, but he might still find a little something to improve or change. Definitely a perfectionist, in the best sense of the term. Personality wise David is kind, warm, approachable and funny. He will make the whole experience even enjoyable. I know right. Dentist – enjoyable, what an oxymoron. David will also check on you regularly, making sure that every patient is recovering the best way possible. I think David is the best dentist I have ever had. Go see him.

Dr Wagner is professional, friendly and kind. He has a gentle tone so if you’re a little nervous he’s going to put you right at ease. I found his advice to be really smart and clearly set out so I knew all my options. He also takes the time to find out how YOU are and what is front of mind for YOU rather than diving straight into what’s possibly wrong. The team of assistants and hygienists are really great and the ladies on the front desk are next level amazing. They were a huge help to me with my insurance company. The office is a nice clean space and parking is easy…and if Dr Wagner’s got control of the music you’re in for a treat.

I can’t say enough about how GREAT Dr. Wagner is.  Besides simply being a complete professional and up to date with all of the latest trends in dentistry and the newest technology available, he’s also a genuinely wonderful person to be around.  Always taking the time to listen to your needs and put you at ease in the dentist chair if that’s not your favorite place to be.  I’m constantly recommending him to all of my friends in search of a new dentist.

Dr. David Wagner is more than a dedicated dentist. He is an artist and professor of dental photography at UCLA. He did a superb bonding job on my front teeth, which were chipped. They look like my own teeth should, perfect color, perfect shape. He is also great with all regular dental work, crowns, etc. Moreover, he doesn’t suggest doing anything more than what’s needed. Happy to be his patient!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Wagner’s since I moved to LA. My dad is a dentist down in FL, so I’m used to very personal, very attentive treatment when I visit a dentist’s office. And Dr. Wagner does not disappoint. He *literally* treats me as well as my own family. Office staff, office itself, professionalism, knowledge, bedside manner — I can’t possibly say enough good things. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

 Wagner and Dr. Pinar’s West Hollywood practice is first rate, from the customer service at the front desk to the hygienists to the interactions with the doctors. Easy, supportive and on-time. They are both easy on the eyes as well, if you are into that sort of thing. But I wanted to applaud Annette for her excellent service, for years. Annette has always been excellent at her job and at her customer service, like seeing a friend every six months. But she just did something for me that was so moving and touching; Annette went above and beyond the practice’s already excellent standards. I would tell you what it is, but it’s a long story… Suffice it to say, this is an amazing dental practice that I actually look forward to attending.   Thank you Annette. And thank you Dr. Wagner and Dr. Pinar for instilling a great culture and hiring humane, skilled employees.

I’ve been excited  to write a review of this practice for awhile. BUT I decided to wait until after I got my veneers before doing so. Now I can say officially that this practice is the very best in the whole world…… well it sure is in my opinion. 1) for cleanings- amazing hygienists , super enthused and ebullient. Your time goes by so quick because they keep you entertained or can pick up quickly if you just need to zone out in quiet. Every six months I’ve come out feeling legitimately more confident and energized to go into the world. Clean, polished teeth are a game changer, that’s just how it is in the city of Los Angeles. 2) the two dentists – Dr. David Wagner and Dr. Dan Pinar are not  your normal dentists. They are young, handsome, funny men who make you feel at ease( not what dentists are known for.) They are as quick with a smile or joke as they are with explicating very complicated jargon in a very discernible  matter of fact way. They create an atmosphere where you feel comfortable , taken care of and informed. The former is a very difficult task and they do this effortlessly and with tact and timing and honest communication . I honestly look forward to the end of my cleanings, just to say hi to the two of them….. NOT KIDDING! 3) my veneers- I cant tell you how much this has changed my life. I broached the idea of getting veneers with Dr. Wagner six months ago casually at an appointment .I’ve had one veneer since I was quite young and it’s not color matched to the rest of my teeth nor did it allow me to whiten my teeth because the veneer would remain yellow . I also had a gap on my left side and my teeth were very uneven with spaces in the gums.Dr. Wagner made me feel very comfortable In elucidating not only what veneers would do for my appearance, but also detailed how the process would go step by step. I went from trepidation to excitement in ten minutes. It was three or four appointments through the process and a stop at a very state of the art laboratory ( maybe the coolest part.) the third appointment was the longest , which was implementing  the temporary bonding. However, it was so comfortable that I actually fell asleep, during the procedure…… a little weird I know Finally, the final veneers went in and I was emotionally overwhelmed. I felt so different, so confident , so sharp! David made them perfect,  they have character , they are NOT perfectly straight , one color, one texture, one shape. They ARE art, in the purest form. They convey emotion and warmth, they have a unique white coloring with different shades naturally coalescing into one wonderful smile. They are 100 percent me and my personality manifested in the thing that expresses that most….. my smil I could not be happier to refer David Wagner. I don’t need to though, the teeth do it for themselves. I swear people love them and all the time the same comment. ” Adam they are perfect, they are just so natural.” Thanks , thanks , thanks

Ok I have to admit the dentist has not always been my favorite place to visit. I hadn’t seen a dentist in awhile and I was semi nervous and it took some time for me to decide to come in. By far the best experience from the lovely people working the front desk to the assistant to the hygienist it was the absolute BEST experience I could have as a new patient. They were all very friendly and answered any questions I had, they were all smiles which really showed me they genuinely enjoyed their team. I had a cleaning then I came back for a filling and I have had a few fillings in the past and it was always a big fear of mine but David Wagner is the BOMB. I didn’t feel a thing a little prick here and there but nothing even near bad. Also I wasn’t left drooling on myself at all! I had experiences in the past where my whole face is numb but I feel them drilling still… no bueno. David Wagner is super nice and kept me informed with what he was doing the whole time. I really appreciated that. I suppose it helps that he’s very handsome, better in person so I’m just like yeah sure do what ya gotta do mr man. haha Funny stuff aside, It was a great experience and I will be sure to refer anyone I know to this awesome staff because it really takes a whole team to give such a great experience to dental patients. Thanks!!

Dr. Wagner seems really just like everything you would want in a dentist. He is super thorough, smart, gentle, very clear about all your options, and all his advice. I come from a dentist’s family and I really like to be able to run everything by my father before i have dental work, and Dr Wagner has always been really great about helping me communicate complicated (or not!) dental jargon to my my dad. He gives you choices for how to proceed with your own care, but also tells you what he would do if it were his teeth. (which are beautiful, like a dentist’s should be!) And i really like that he takes pictures in addition to x rays. Very useful in decision making. Great office, both Dentists. I used to see Dr Pinar, but wound up with Dr Wagner because I was 25 minutes late and Dr Pinar was no longer available. I recommend them both very highly.

Reading through Dr. Wagner’s reviews, it’s no surprise to see how many patients — like me —
have followed Dr. Wagner from his old practice in Santa Monica to his new one in West Hollywood. It’s a true testament to how excellent he really is (especially since his new practice is out-of-network for my insurance!). A top notch bedside manner is paramount for me with a dentist, and David writes the book on doctor-patient relationships. Beyond his generally wonderful nature, he’s smart, thorough, and efficient. He makes going to the dentist as anxiety-free as getting a haircut!

Dr David Wagner is truly as good as it gets. I, like 99% of the world, used to avoid going to the dentist and hated it (shocker, right?), but Dr Wagner turned that around. I now go regularly and dare I say the experience is fun and painless? He jokes around, gets to know your needs, works with you, and you are in and out without any pain. He truly is a miracle worker. I since have moved to SF and plan appointments around my visits to LA because I refuse to go to anyone else. Thanks Dr Wagner!

I first met Dr. Wagner at the previous Santa Monica location. I love my experience with him so much that even tho he recently moved his practice to West Hollywood I still drive to see him!!! He is personable, caring and honest with my treatment options. I feel so fortunate so have found him and recommend him to all my local friends and family!!

Been a patient of Dr. Wagner’s since I moved to LA. My dad is a dentist down in FL, so I’m used to very personal, very attentive treatment when I visit a dentist’s office. And Dr. Wagner does not disappoint. He *literally* treats me as well as my own family. Office staff, office itself, professionalism, knowledge, bedside manner — I can’t possibly say enough good things. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

As a patient for more than 6 years (at least 15 appointments) , I can say the three dentists in this practice – Samuel, Videgain and Wagner, are awesome.  Aside from the fact that all three are personable, reasonable and excellent dentists, they run a well oiled machine. This office is more efficient than any other medical or dental practice I’ve encountered in 40 years.  No joke.  They are always on time, they follow up on everything and the entire process is very efficient.  And EVERYONE SMILES HERE.  All the time.  The office is clean and it has the latest equipment.  I’ve never had a complaint and I am a former healthcare administrator. If you are in or near Santa Monica, this is the only dental practice you need.  Highly recommended!

I originally called to schedule a dental exam, but found out that my insurance might be out of network. The receptionist on the line, Erica (hope I spelled that right), immediately sensed my frustration and quickly offered to help me find out for sure. She called my insurance to get more details to assist me, even though she wasn’t even sure I’d become a patient. I was so impressed by the level of care that I opted not to look any further and scheduled an appointment. On the day of my dental exam, all of the receptionists were friendly, welcoming, and attentive. My hygienist was quick, efficient, and kind. Then Dr. Wagner greeted me with a big smile and proceeded to talk me through the details of my x-rays. He provided a few options, but suggested one in particular for the longterm health of my teeth. He also quickly fixed a sharp spot that developed on an old metal filling, which had been bothering me for some time. He’s one of the most personable dentists I’ve encountered, but he is also knowledgable and professional. I’d highly recommend him…although I may regret it if his calendar fills up so much that I can’t get an appointment myself haha. The facilities are bright, clean, and stocked with new technology and equipment without being flashy. I had a very positive overall experience and I am happily going back soon for a cleaning. Thanks Dr. Wagner & staff!

This office is incredible!! Over the years I’ve seen Dr. Samuel but I recently had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Wagner. He is fantastic! He is so gentle and friendly. I grind my teeth and needed to get my teeth filed down. Instead of making a separate appointment to come back in, he did it right then- so easy, no pain and saved me a trip. It’s obvious he loves what he does and is on top of the latest technology. My husband is British and let’s just say his teeth were never a priority. He finally went to see Dr. Wagner (after years of nagging) and was singing Dr. Wagner’s praises all day. He actually said, “What a great lad! If I knew it was that easy I wouldn’t have waited so long”. I owe you Dr. Wagner! HA! Thank you so much Dr. Wagner and the whole team!

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Wagner. He has really changed my mind about what your experience at the dentist should be like. I’ve been to a lot of dentists throughout the years, some great and some not so great, but Dr. Wagner stands out in a league of his own. He is extremely knowledgeable and good at his job while also being incredibly kind – an attribute that makes all the difference in dentistry. I get a bit anxious before dental work, but he really helps to calm my nerves and make me feel comfortable. The assistant was also good at what she does, but not quite as cognizant of the patient’s needs. She sometimes pinches my lip in between her instrument and my teeth, and occasionally smooshes my nose with her orange deflector paddle… but it’s completely worth it to be in Dr. Wagner’s care. The Santa Monica Dentists office where Dr. Wagner works is one of the best I’ve been to. The staff is always friendly and efficient at getting you in and out in a timely manner, the rooms are clean, and the environment is welcoming. I always leave with a smile when I visit. In summary, I would highly recommend Dr. Wagner to anyone looking for a great dentist in the Santa Monica or West LA area.

Dr. Wagner is professional as he is down to earth. Everything from my experience(start to finish) was easy and very relaxed. The front desk is friendly, inviting, and engaging. The new patient paperwork is very straight forward and user friendly. The hygienist, Juan, put me at ease immediately as he was extremely friendly and approachable. He actually said hello with a SMILE! In LA! The cleaning itself was quick and efficient. My mouth was treated with care and never once felt uncomfortable in the chair. Dr. Wagner himself is brilliant! Up to date on his education and could speak to all of my questions with ease. Made me trust him and his staff immediately. Having been with the same dentist since being five years old. Even flying home for dental appointments it was huge for me to finally sit in someone else’s chair. I am so glad I did. I cannot recommend this man and his practice more! Get in the chair for happy teeth!

Dr David Wagner is truly a wonderful dentist. I’ve been going to him for the last 4 years, and I like many others have followed him to his new practice because of how great and personable he is.  He is everything I want in a dentist professional, trustworthy, caring, super talented and smart. I’ve always felt well taken care of by him at every visit. Can highly and happily recommend him!

I have had my fair share of speciality dental treatment including an implant, gum surgery, and four years of braces in high school. For the last few years, Dr. Wagner has been my primary dentist. He has excellent chair-side manner. From his care of my mouth it is clear that he cares about using the most contemporary techniques and materials. I have been to dentists where it feels like I am being “up sold” on something. That is NOT the case with Dr. Wagner. He clearly wants me to have a healthy mouth and a confident smile.

Dr. Wagner and his team are spectacular. I chipped my tooth, and was worried it was going to be a very lengthy process. But Dr. Wagner put me at ease, made a thorough examination and walked me through my options, both in the short as well as in the long term. In a matter of a few hours I was sporting a complete smile again. His team is as friendly as can be, and very professional.

I had a situation with my insurance and I had to rush to get an appointment, I called super last minute and explained my situation to his front desk, (Cute nice little Filipino lady) She totally helped me out and squeezed me in the next day. The office is modern, super clean, but somehow not overly clinical. All his staff are super personable and friendly. The dental hygienist or his assistant was very nice and even remembered little things about me from my last visit which was like a year previous. Dr. Wagner is the nicest guy, he’s super enthusiastic about his job and takes his time to explain to you everything that he’s doing and is very gentle. I even noticed the way he speaks to his staff is very polite and kind. All around theres really good energy in this office. Pricing is standard, and straightforward. Parking is right behind the office and free with validation. I will be his patient for years to come, and would gladly recommend him to my friends or family. Very thankful I found this office! Thank you guys for making my experience so seamless and warm! Dr. Wagner is the best

Dr. Wagner is the best dentist I’ve had in 40 years of dental work in the West Hollywood area.  He is authentic and explains everything that he will do before beginning the work.  He answers all of your questions completely.  His office team is top notch and you can tell that they really like their patients.  His pricing is very fair and he doesn’t try to “over sell” you for services that are not necessary.  
Thank you Dr. Wagner !

Going to the dentist gives most people major anxiety.  I’m no different.  I used to put it off as long as possible.  But since I’ve started seeing Dr. Wagner, I don’t mind going at all. He and his team make the visit almost, dare I say, enjoyable?  From the initial phone call to make the appointment, I could tell the staff is happy to be working there.  Super helpful and friendly people. Dr. Wagner put me at ease by explaining everything throughly and in an easy-to-understand way.  I had to have a cleaning and a filling done and I was not looking forward to either, but it was truly the best dental experience I have ever had. I left the appointment feeling like I had learned more than I had ever before from any other dentist and I even made my next appointment already!! If you’re looking for a new dentist, look no further.  He’s the only dentist you should consider for the job, big or small.

Dr. David Wagner sets the bar for what 5 star dental care is all about.  Actually he sets the bar for what 5 star ratings are really about.  I am currently between jobs and have no healthcare (dental) coverage.  I have dental issues and arranged to get a desperately needed cleaning.  Dr. Wagner’s office was beyond cooperative. Dr. Wagner is awesome.  He was kind, sensitive and had no intent on pushing treatment on me.  I was beyond impressed as I have had awesome experiences with Dr. Pinar.  Today’s checkup and cleaning was done by the dentist himself.  It was done carefully, thoroughly and with true care.  This was a medical professional whom cared about my teeth. Bottom line:  Dr. Wagner will be the only dentist whom I will deal with for the next decade of my life.  Done.  If you want a 5 star experience come here.

Dr. Wagner was great at making me feel comfortable and on educating me. Very professional and I appreciate him and his staff taking the time to get me in quickly on an emergency appointment. He is one of the best dentists I have had in Los Angeles!

Dr Wagner is the best dentist I’ve ever had- so thankful to have found a great and trustworthy dentist in LA! He’s been there for my first root canal and crown, routine fillings and checkups, and making my teeth look fabulous (and very natural) by finishing what my crappy orthodontist started. And he’s just a really sweet guy- with a comforting voice and thorough explanations for whatever needs to happen. You can tell he really cares.

Easy parking, centrally located, and one of the BEST Dentists in town! I constantly think I have something wrong with my teeth and thanks Dr. Wagner I know I’m in good hands. The waiting room is beautiful and clean, friendly front desk staff that can easily help you with all your insurance questions. The exam itself was a breeze. you have a beautiful view of the Hollywood Hills out the window. The cleaning and X-Rays were efficient and quick. He was very thorough about what he saw on the X-Ray and explained to me exactly what kind of immediate or preemptive care needed to be taken. He even fixed a little bonding I had fall off of my permanent retainer. Can’t say enough good things about him! I highly recommend visiting for your normal check up and cleaning or any major work that needs to be done!

I have never, ever liked going to the dentist, especially to have my teeth cleaned.  But I no longer dread it since I have started going to see Dr Wagner and his team.  Dr. Wagner makes you feel comfortable as soon as you sit down in the chair and listens to your concerns.  He then tells you what each step is and checks in with you throughout the whole process.  I unfortunately had to have two cavities filled recently, but Dr Wagner made the process as painless as possible, explaining everything as it went along.   The front office staff is professional and friendly, the office itself is bright, modern and comfortable, the whole experience has been great each time.  I would highly recommend them to anyone!

I had the privilege of visiting Dr. Wagner today for a regular visit.  This was my first appointment at Dr. Wagner’s office.  From the moment I walked in I was greeted by friendly knowledgable staff and made to feel welcome.  When I went back to the chair that most people are anxious about, I was soon put to ease by the friendly voice of Dr. Wagner.  He takes time to talk to you about whats going on with your teeth and also in general about whats going on in your life.  By the time I left I was more informed than ever before by my previous dentist and it was like visiting an old friend and catching up.  Professionalism, courtesy, and family environment is what is offered with Dr. Wagner and I look forward to my next check ups.

This entire office is the kindest, warmest and most helpful group of individuals I’ve had the pleasure of spending multiple consecutive mornings with. When I woke up with an infected wisdom tooth, I did a yelp search to see who was close to me and who opened earliest. It just so happened that this office was my first call. Even though I was a first time patient, they were able to get me in immediately that morning, understanding that I was in pain and needed to see someone. From there on, the treatment was outstanding. Dr. Wagner has an incredible bedside manner – very kind and gentle. Explains your options thoroughly. For me, that was – antibiotics OR try to get in for surgery. The front desk worked their magic with the nearby oral surgeon and was able to get me in for extraction of all 4 wisdom teeth THAT AFTERNOON. I was blown away by the unbelievable care for a first time patient. Post-surgery, I had a bit of an issue with the initially infected tooth. I called first thing in the morning again, in pain, and Dr. Wagner made the time to see me each consecutive morning to ease the pain, change the gauze and make sure I was healing okay. Every time I was waiting in the reception area, the front desk was amazingly friendly, warm and completely respectful of my work schedule and time. I can’t recommend this dentist and this office highly enough!! They are truly wonderful. I’ve already tried to get all of my co-workers over there!s

Ok I have to admit the dentist has not always been my favorite place to visit. I hadn’t seen a dentist in awhile and I was semi nervous and it took some time for me to decide to come in.

I really appreciated that. I suppose it helps that he’s very handsome, better in person so I’m just like yeah sure do what ya gotta do mr man. haha Funny stuff aside, It was a great experience and I will be sure to refer anyone I know to this awesome staff because it really takes a whole team to give such a great experience to dental patients. Thanks!!
