PATIENT REVIEWS

I went to see this guy because I saw his office while running errands . I have been a Captain for almost 30 years . As a captain and as a engineer I have traced the world . And had dental work done everywhere. I had found most places in California difficult in price and in dealing with an out of state dental insurance. But not this crew . I had neglected my mouth for quite a few years . And I have other priorities above my own . This was understood I received a cleaning , which was why I came in , and a comprehensive breakdown of my difficulties. As this is a port we will be retiring to I will use Dr King and recommend him highly  for all dental needs . Even though he is about six foot four you don’t  feel those banana hands in your mouth at all . Thanks Doc look forward to having more work done . Captain Ross W Lyon.

Ivette,Iris ,Walter , and last but not least Dr. King have been amazing. I usually have terrible luck with the dentist but this place is great the people I mentioned above have always reached over and beyond to help me solve my tooth issue which was sadly a root canal but these guys made the procedure easy and painless . I would recommend anyone to come here who have had bad experiences with dental care . And they make you feel welcomed into there place of business.

I am thankful to have found a wonderful dental office in the in Los Angeles (Mar Vista area). The staff at Happy Teeth are kind, respectful, knowledgeable, and competent. I was able to get appointments easily and was fully informed about what procedures I needed and what my out of pocket expense would be after insurance was billed. Dr. King took his time with my dental procedures and made me feel comfortable by making sure I had enough numbing medication, explaining what he was doing, and making polite conversation. I noticed that he compliments his dental assistant on her technique. My mother is a dental assistant, so I appreciated seeing the Dr. treat his staff so kindly. I also got to watch Netflix while I waited for the procedure to start.

I called so many dentist on a Sunday and no one was available!!!! Until I found Dr.Bruce Kings number and like magic I was in a dental chair getting the filling that fell out replaced. I could have died from the sensitivity. He was such an amazing doctor and super funny made the situation feel less terrible. I would recommend him to anyone, any time that’s for sure.

One of my molars broke, nearly in two. Luckily the nerve wasn’t exposed, so I was saved the agony of a broken tooth. I googled “emergency dentist,” and Dr. Bruce E King came up as one of the search results. It was already late in the day.  I called, and as expected, I got the voicemail. I hung up, but about half an hour later, I got a call from Dr. Bruce E King.  We talked about my broken molar.  He was prepared to return to his practice and meet me there, despite it being the evening (it was after 7:00 PM.  I was not in pain, and we agreed that I could go to his practice when they opened for business at 8:00 AM the next morning. I arrived at 7:50.  I thought I was going to have some time to wait, but the office was already open, and Dr. King and his staff were waiting for me.  Man alive, did I get the royal treatment!  When I was greeted, I felt myself in such a friendly atmosphere!  I really felt welcomed. Dr. King and his staff wasted no time.  I was taken right to an examination room.  They got to work right away.  I needed a new crown.  That meant a root canal. Dr. King and his staff worked efficiently and competently.  On my first visit, the old crown was drilled out, and a temporary cap put in place.  That saved me from accidentally punching through whatever little enamel remained to protect my nerve. The second visit, a few days later, was the root canal, and a temporary crown.  And when my new crown came in about a week later, it was installed very quickly, in less than twenty minutes.  My new crown fits great!  I’m a happy camper! Dr. Bruce King recognized that I was a nervous wreck in his dental chair.  His friendly, caring demeanor really helped to put me at ease.  If you’re like me and are a scared of dentists (LOL), this guy is real good at putting you at ease. Having a big screen TV with Netflix was a real nice plus, made the time in between seem to fly by. Yes!  I totally recommend Dr. Bruce E King, DDS!  I can say with confidence you won’t be disappointed.

I went there after having seen an ad for Bruce King, DDS in an ad in our ValPak. Normally I would have been wary doing so but they advertised a $99 fill-in which I needed after chipping my top right tooth at the gum line. I called and was given an appointment the very next day. I found free street parking right in front, office was nice and clean and I was given my paperwork right away. I was seen by Bruce within minutes. He was very nice and sent me to the X-ray room where they found my abrasion. Then a sweet and knowledgeable Polish dentist took care of me and we bonded since I too am Polish. She filled in my small gap in a timely, painless and successful fashion all the while being very friendly. I was so happy with her work!  I was in and out in less than 1.5 hours and they honored my coupon!

Dr Bruce King is a great dentist!  I recommend to bring your family and friends there! Everyone one is nice there! The D.A was a nice and caring, and also Walter was a very respectful! I cannot complain about this place! Dr King was very kind, answer all my questions and the inside is very comfortable ! They have Netflix !

I had a toothache emergency! Called and spoke to Walter who was absolutely amazing and very professional. I had like zero wait time, as soon as I filled out my pwrk I was greeted by Bianca. She was very sweet and understanding while doing my x-rays considering I was in pain. I was greeted by Dr King who was very kind and voiced his sincere care and professional advice on what steps I should take. Walter indicated they would be willing to work with me which put me at complete ease considering dental work can be pricey even with having insurance. I thought we were going to start the root canal process being at the time I couldn’t afford to doing the procedure in its entirety and sweet Iris informed me they went ahead and just did the root canal. Lastly Dr. King consistently praises his staff on the amazing job they’re doing, this without a doubt will be my forever dental office. Thanks for everything see you guys Monday!!!

Came in today because my tooth was broken , I had been in pain for 3 days , I was really glad they took me in same day and was able to provide me service immediately he really is a great emergency  dir , he numbed me up really good and started drilling but has nice relaxing music  playing in the office but i still hear him esome! He’s definitely my go to dentist now !drill away lol, Really pleased with his service and his staff is aw entist ! He made me feel really comfortable once I was in the cha

Dr. King and his staff are great! I initially saw Dr. King for an emergency appointment due to some tooth pain, and he was able to see me same day. His office is very transparent with price (Thanks Walter) and his dental assistants are super nice. Dr. King is very personable and everything he did was painless. Thank you so much for your care!

I bought a groupon for a dental exam and a cleaning. I was impressed with all of the staff especially Dr. Bruce. He was knowledgeable, kind and even funny. I appreciate the light banter he shared with me which eased my mind about being at the dentist. Rose the hygienist is equally as nice and professional as Dr. Bruce. I walked away feeling like I got a great deal and found a great dentist in the process. I am a business owner as well so I know how important yelp reviews are to business. I can tell you that my experience warrants 5 stars. I hope more patients start reviewing so that you can get an accurate picture of what the dental SERVICES are like. Individual experiences are just that, individual. Try them for yourself and make your own decision.

Best experience ever! I’ve been coming to Dr King for over 20 years and I would never go anywhere else. He has the best personality and he knows what he is doing. His priority is always taking care of the patient and making sure you’re comfortable. His staff is excellent and very well trained. His office manager Walter has things running very efficiently which makes every visit an easy one.

I went to visit Dr. King for a free braces evaluation. I have to say that I am very pleased with my visit. In my case, it seems to be that I am a little old for braces and my teeth need more from another kind of treatment to assure endurance after a previous dentist. They were very kind and never tried to push for other service. Nice team. Dr King is very flexible.

This review is more for the dental hygienist than Dr. King because she was the one I had more interaction with.  I lost my dental insurance about a year ago so I purchased a groupon for a dental cleaning which I was a little nervous about.  I have super sensitive teeth and getting my teeth cleaned is always a nerve wracking experience.  From the outside the office doesn’t look that great, which further added to my hesitation.  However, when I got inside I was pleasantly surprised to find it was very clean and comfortable and the staff was extremely nice.  The hygienist was especially kind.  She could tell I was nervous and took the time to help me relax, then she was extra gentle with the cleaning.  She did a great job and it was the most painless teeth cleaning I have had in years.  On top of that, she gave me lots of tips on ways to keep my teeth and gums healthier. Dr King seemed nice too, and didn’t try to up sell me things I didn’t need.  Overall, I had a very good experience there and am planning on going back for my next cleaning even though I won’t get the groupon discount price.

Thank you Happy Teeth! I usually hate going to the dentist and getting mouth injections but Dr. King was so smooth with all the numbing shots I didn’t even notice he had completed. Iris is one of the best dental assistants with her calming personality, such a sweet person to help you through your pain. I received four crowns and three fillings from Dr King, and I have to say that it was one the best dental experiences I’ve ever had. With Dr. King’s hilarious sense of humor, I left grinning from ear to ear! I would advise anyone to check this office out.

Dr. King is Amazing !! He’s pays attention to detail and my needs … He has excellent staff and is always welcoming me with an awesome Smile  .. I told him when I first came in I hated the dentist because I’ve had bad experiences and he reassured me that I would do great and that I’m in good hands .. He’s funny friendly and professional .. I also love iris and Walter !! Now I can say I love the dentist and it’s all because of Dr King !! Thank u you guys see u soon !!

Fantastic dentist surgery. Walter, Iris and Dr Bruce are all wonderful and make each visit easy and stress free. All very professional and I always leave feeling well cared for and understanding my insurance cover and charges (from the uk so it’s all rather mind boggling). Also very easy communication for appointments and often little wait to see Dr King. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a professional and competent dentist!.

Love this place! Great quality, friendly service, and something that’s been missing in most practices-honesty and personal interest in every individual patient. From the start Dr.king made me feel safe(i have a phobia with dentists) and their amazing staff made me feel like I was priority number one.The office is super clean and I love the interactive monitor that that shows what’s happening so I can see their quality first hand, which eased my anxiety, not to mention was very interesting and professional. I feel like I finally found a safe and reliable dentist that I can trust. I’ve recommend Dr king to all my friend and feel that if your in the west side, Culver, Santa Monica, Venice area and are looking for a hones and dependable dentist, look no further.

Dr Bruce is amazing!! As well as the rest of the other staff members, each time you come there they make me feel so welcome, greet you by your name and make sure I’m comfortable! If your wanting a good dentist that does an amazing job and and shows that he genuinely cares about your teeth and a plan to fix what you came in for, go to him!!

Dr. King is an excellent dentist. Since coming to his dental office I have referred so many people to Dr. King. The best thing about Dr. King is that he is so gentle. I have had so many bad dental experiences; however, I am not afraid or In pain when I come to Dr. King. Even my kids like coming to the dentist. I love Dr. king and his staff. Everyone there is so friendly and welcoming. We never have to wait a long time to be seen and they take can make an appointment for all family members to come at the same time.

This is my third time returning because Dr. Bruce and his support staff, Walter and Iris took incredible care of me with a sense of urgency to my questions and needs… and always friendly ! First time I called  for a last minute weekend appointment because one of my teeth was hurting. At this time I did not have dental insurance and they helped me afford what was to become a lot of needed dental work. the staff supported Dr Bruce to get instant xrays and gum lasering to kill bacteria in my gums due to what was burgeoning gum disease.  Most importantly I needed my first ever root canal / crown and over a year and a half later it is still going strong (color blends in just like the rest of the teeth) . Secondly they helped me afford a very quick and painless night guard I needed for intensive teeth grinding while I sleep. This last visit I needed xrays due to tooth sensitivity (this time with insurance) and quickly found I need a root canal.  I had 3 cavities taken care of in literally 30 minutes with no numbing needed.  I also had my teeth cleaned and polished and it was done super quick ! They have Netflix or tv to help pass the time… I sincerely recommend this group for any type of dental work from emergency to regular cleaning. You will see what I mean! Danny L.

I thoroughly enjoy coming to dental appointments with Dr. King and his excellent team. The visits are cozy and pleasant. The team of assistants are professional and have great attention to detail. They are courteous and explain any questions you may have about dental procedures.

Great Dentist! It all started with my hideous-looking chipped front tooth. My previous bonding cracked off so I obviously needed to get it capped (crowned) ASAP, and I knew that I had to do whitening first in order to get an appropriate shade for the crown (which won’t ever whiten). So, I searched the internet for a good deal on getting a Zoom whitening treatment, and saw Dr. King’s advertisement. I called to see how soon they could get me in, and after explaining my chipped tooth to Walter (he answered the phone) and my need to get things taken care of promptly, Walter got me an appointment for the next day. He also mentioned that they could do the cap/crown too if I wanted, and all in the same visit (Zoom whitening and prep the tooth for the crown). So I agreed because their price for the crown was less than my other dentist, and my other dentist doesn’t have Zoom treatment available. I arrived for my appointment and they got me right in, zero waiting. I was very impressed with the interior of the office. The décor was high class, especially in the restroom with one of those classy glass-bowl sinks and the hand towels are actually towels, not the papertowel dispensers but actual towels! Nice touch! In the first room I went into for crown-prep I immediately noticed a big screen LCD TV mounted right in front of me. They swiftly handed me the remotes and said “feel free to watch some Netflix”! So, I found myself watching “The Hunger Games” while they were working on my tooth. Most of the work was done by a dental hygienist (I think that’s the title) named Leticia. She was very nice and extremely knowledgeable. She did the molds and fitted me for the temporary crown to wear while we waited the 1-2 weeks for the real crown to be made. Dr. King did the “heavy stuff”; shaping my stub-of-a-tooth into something the real crown would fit. Then it was time to go into another room for the Zoom treatment. Another big screen LCD in here too, and “The Hunger Games” picked up right where I left off in the other room. It was nice to be entertained while the 1-hour Zoom treatment was going on. The Zoom treatment got my teeth A LOT whiter than they were before, with no sensitivity during or after treatment. Now for the crown: The temporary crown I had came off twice. The first time was right after I got home and chewed on some sunflower seeds. My fault, not theirs. I called them and they were more than happy to have me in the next day to re-glue it, no charge. Then the temporary crown came off again when I bit into a hamburger. Again, my fault. I ignored their warnings to take it very easy with the temp crown, and I bit into that burger like a T-Rex. This time when I called they were actually expecting the real crown to be delivered later that day, and Walter said he’d call me back when/if it comes in. True to his word, Walter called me later that day to inform me that my crown had arrived, and we set an appointment for the next day. The new crown came in a shade or two whiter than my other teeth, but I like it that way because it gives me motivation to take better care of my teeth, and I can still get the other teeth even whiter to catch up to the shade of the crown.  The crown is also slightly wider than my original tooth, as well as the other front tooth, but this also eliminated the small-but-noticeable gap I previously had between the 2 front teeth, so I think this is better. Most importantly, I had another burger the day after getting the real crown, and it passed the test and stayed put when I went all T-Rex on the burger again! All in all the staff is great, the offices are high-class and very clean, and Dr. King himself is a good guy; very personable, knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. He didn’t make me feel like some cadaver in a dental chair, but instead as a person who has questions which he happily and thoroughly answered. I definitely recommend his office for any dental work you need. Thank you Walter, Leticia, Iris and Dr. King for my new-and-improved smile!

I spent the last 3 months getting to know Dr. King, Iris and Walter while they worked on my teeth. I had some really old fillings that needed to be replaced, crowns that were cracked and some decay that required a root canal. As you can imagine I spent a few thousand dollars getting all my work done. I know that the work is solid and that if I do have any problems I can come back and have it looked at. Walter is a magician with the paperwork and Iris has such skill and pays such attention to detail that I was never worried about mistakes. Dr. King is very knowledgeable and has steady hands – for all the work that was done the most pain I endured was the prick of the needle as I got numbed up – not even the root canal caused me any pain afterward. They have early and late appointments available which made it convenient for me as a working person. I would recommend Dr. King and his amazing staff  to anyone!

Had a great experience with dr king earlier today , he really took care of my needs and actually listened to what i wanted done , I’ve always wanted a perfect Hollywood smile but didn’t know what was involved,, luckily his assistant Walter was able to better explain to me the procedures that dr king offered and helped me out financially with care credit ! So excited to finally have the smile I’ve wanted for so long !! Here my before picture ,, much better one coming soon.

I am very pleased with my treatment with Dr. King.  I lost a bonded filling from a front tooth which left a gap. He had me come right in and refilled the tooth with no pain. He explained exactly what he was going to do and assured me there would be no pain.  I was in and out in less then an hour and the tooth looks better then with the old bonding. Everyone was very friendly and professional.  I will definitely go back for any future work. Lee F

My visit with Dr. King was a wonderful experience very polite, gentle and caring staff. I had the best cleaning I ever had in my life pain free. I would recommend this office to all my friends. Dr. King fixed a cavity on my tooth. The whole procedure was pain free and I really like that compare to other experience that I’ve had. They are the best.

Dr. Bruce and his staff have always been welcoming, accommodating, and patient every time I’ve visit their lovely office. Ive had two root canals and both have went fine. Dr King is super accommodating when I comes to pain and work, always working gentle. (for a big guy, gentle giant) I am deathy afraid of needles, I shake and have the worst anxiety, but their entire staff made me feel welcomed and comfortable. Both doctors, and Iris do awesome and professional work and I would reccommend this dentist to many.  To all the bad reviewers, you can’t blame the dentist for pain, everyone’s different and everyone’s tooth problem is different! It hurts sometimes when you don’t take care of your teeth or have an infection, but these guys will do their best to make it better!

My visit with Dr. King was a wonderful experience. He is very polite, gentle and has caring staff members. I had the best cleaning I ever have had in my life. Pain free. I would recommend this office to all my friends. Dr. King Fixed a cavity on my tooth the whole procedure was pain free and I really like that. Compared to other experiences that I’ve had, they are the best.

Dr king and his staff are the nicest and caring people i have ever met. i was delusional enough to demand that the appointment be finished within one hour lol but dr king and his staff literally just did it, and they are still always happy to see and talk to me ?! i know it’s not just me though, they provide the most optimal care to all of their patients no matter what they ask for!

I have been going to Dr King for over a decade and have been incredibly happy about the work the Bruce and his team do. And I have had a lot of work done throughout the years! Crowns, cavities, whitening, chips, root canals, Invisalign…. They have never had any issue with my insurance, which my stupid company keeps changing, because the guy up front, Walter, really knows what he’s doing. You know how even though you have a dr’s appt and have to still wait 30 minutes even though you were there on time? Not here. They are prompt. If they know that something is going to throw a wrench with your appt time you will get a call BEFORE! If you are looking for a quality dentist where you won’t go broke to get your dentistry done AND want to enjoy the trip to the dentist because you know that they will take care of your teeth, gums and you, then you should feel confident in coming here!

Excellent doctor, excellent office manager (Walter-who is very accommodating and experienced with insurances) and excellent staff. Always in good hands and well taken care of for all my dental needs. Very convenient to be able to go to the same office for regular dental visits/work/ortho; it’s a one stop shop, which I need and love. I always leave satisfied and would also like to point out how professional and gentle Iris is 🙂 I trust the whole staff, the work and I highly recommend Dr. King. Especially when it comes to family and friends.

Dr. King is an excellent dentist. Since coming to his dental office I have referred so many people to Dr. King. The best thing about Dr. King is that he is so gentle.

Thank you Happy Teeth Family for everything!

I have been going to Dr King for a couple of years now and am very happy with his services.  His staff have been great and accommodating. I have had a few procedures and have been thrilled with the results, no issues whatsoever.  I have been recommending Dr King to anyone that asks and am confident they will have as great of an experience as I’ve had.  I do not ever write reviews but i believe Dr King and his staff deserve it.
