Practice Profile Page

Dr. Benjamin is a rock star. She created a plan for me that was widely divergent from another dentist I had seen, and explained to me that the other dentist’s plan would fail given the situation with my mouth and what it could tolerate on the level of bone. She crafted for me an entirely new mouth, a new smile (I had been hesitant to smile before as my teeth were pretty bad.) She went so far as to have the dental lab technician in the office with both of them in my mouth taking measurements – this was unprecedented dedication. My new teeth are strong and set well, no pain on bite. I recommend all of my friends to Dr. Benjamin and her excellent staff. S.G. Los Angeles

I’ve been here for the first time and I’m so happy with the service I received. Dr. Elena was very friendly, gentle and thorough; she did a great job with my cleaning. She explained what she was doing, so I know that I was in good hands. I admit that I’m not good at taking good care of my teeth and she never judged me with it, but instead she gave me good advices and tips on how to take good care of my teeth. My deep cleaning was not painful and I’m so happy with it. Thanks Dr. Elena for providing good quality care.

I was greeted as soon as I walked into the door. Everyone who works there is so friendly and I didn’t need to wait long to be seen for my appointment. I asked so many questions about my teeth and what they were going to do and every question was answered. I have no problem recommending this place to everyone I know. I will be back soon.

I visited Dr. Benjamin’s office because my filling broke and I needed a quick fix. Turned out my situation was pretty complicated as my filling broke with a part of the tooth which was inside the gum. Dr.Benjamin advised a crown as the new filling simply wouldn’t hold, but for that i needed to go through a crown lengthening procedure (which i never heard of before) it sounded super scary but I cannot be more happy and appreciative today for everything dr.Benjamin and dr. Bina did for me, they literally saved me from the need to do an implant which would have been very painful and ruin my wallet! Crown lengthening was very smooth, the scariest sounding procedure was totally fine in hands of Dr.Bina, following that I had a temporary crown that was replaced by a permanent one last week. Its beautiful and perfectly fitting! Thank you guys for saving my tooth! You are the best!

A top professional, great communicator and business executive. Dr. Benjamin began looking after my dental needs after I moved from London to LA. Various procedures can be tricky and if things do not work out as planned I can count on Dr. Benjamin and her team to make certain that I continue to remain healthy and happy.

I have been a patient of Dr. Benjamin’s for over a year. Before setting foot in her office I did a lot of research and I genuinely did not believe that she and her staff could possibly be as good as the reviews that I read. However, I cannot begin to describe how incredible Dr. Benjamin and her staff are! So much so that it’s not enough just to say that. There are very few dentists who can do what Dr. Benjamin does. It’s not just an impeccable grasp of the procedures she performs because any good professional who has spent a lifetime focusing their skill set can accomplish that. What puts Dr. Benjamin on a completely different level is the respect with which she treats her patients, the care she takes to ensure that your needs are being met, and her incredible level of communication. There are too many medical professionals who behave as if their time is more valuable than the patient they treating, but Dr. Benjamin is not one of them. I had a lot of dental issues when I went in for my first consultation and the last dentist I had visited, a year and a half prior to meeting Dr. Benjamin, treated me like a pariah because of the amount of work that was necessary. It was me being terrified of being treated not just unprofessionally but rudely by another dentist that prevented me from seeking the dental work I knew I needed. And, from the moment I set foot in Dr. Benjamin’s office, I was completely unprepared for the results I can attest to over year later. I felt like a failure for not taking care of my teeth the way I should have and I was terrified how I was going to be treated. But, from the very first minute of my very first visit to Dr. Benjamin’s office all of my fears vanished. Dr. Benjamin was very honest and straightforward but she listened to me and treated me with a kindness and professionalism I had not experienced from any other dentist in LA. And all of what I’ve said so far is just about the doctor herself. I haven’t even begun to rave about her staff! Every single member of her staff goes out of their way to make you feel not only at ease and relaxed, they also go out of their way to care for you as if you were one of their closest friends. That’s not something any business is required to do but it is something you are guaranteed to receive when you go to Dr. Benjamin! Having dental done work done can be a very scary thing to prepare for and that can fear is compounded when you are someone who needs a lot of dental work done. But I can personally attest to the fact that the happiness quotient in my life skyrocketed after getting the dental work I needed and I would never have been able to get any of it done if it hadn’t been for Dr. Benjamin and her team! I owe much of my future happiness to this incredible group of people. Dr. Benjamin I cannot thank you enough….not only for the tremendous work you did on me but  but I want to also thank you and every person in your office  for the unprecedented level of care you have provided me. I will never set foot in another dentist’s office other than Dr. Benjamin’s!

I have decided to write a review after a friend of mine who I referred to Dr. Benjamin told me to read all negative reviews about her on yelp. I was quite shocked and felt that I MUST share my experience. I have to say that I hate dentists in general. When I was 11 my front tooth almost got knocked out, they saved the tooth but eventually the nerve died and the tooth got gray. Some jerk dentist put an ugly crown on it that was disproportional and different in color. It was replaced couple of years later, looked a little better, but still pretty hideous. I have always been embarrassed to smile. A couple of years ago I moved to LA and my sister sent me to her dentist of 5 years – Dr. Benjamin. I have to mention that I have not seen a dentist by than for about 3-4 years. Came in about a year ago, addressed all my concerns, and yes she (Dr. Benjamin) is not the most talkative type, but certainly is not a diva how some guy referred to her. She is very efficient and business. So, she said she could try to make it look better, offered to change that old crown and add a veneer on tooth next to it. It cost me about $2000. After it was all done I was beyond happy with result. For days I would check myself out in every mirror. And oh yeah, another thing about dr. Benjamin. When I had a temporary crown on, of course it came off on Saturday night during diner with a couple of my girlfriends. I was kind of pissed and called her not really hoping to get a hold of her. She picked up, asked me if I could be at her office in 30 minutes, came in, fixed it in 5 minutes, I went back to hang out with my friends. It was Saturday night around 9 pm. How could I not love a doctor like Dr. B? Love her assistant Loraine, she has the most gentle touch and very professional. I did end up having a deep cleaning as well, but I am the only one to blame, never flossed, and had not seen a dentist in 3 years. Her hygienist Larisa turned me into a floss freak. She like got into my head with all her science stuff and bacteria and bone loss, but I adore her. I hate dentists much less because of Dr. Benjamin; I am not freaked out to get my teeth cleaned anymore. I have sent a couple of my co-workers to her and they loved her as well.

I’m so glad I ended up going to Dr. Benjamin. As a dentist she is very knowledgeable, honest, patient, kind, attentive, approachable, and is just a very nice human being. It was a pleasure interacting with her as well as the staff, which are all wonderful from the receptionist to the assistant, who is very sweet. I have been to quite a few dentists in this area and she is the only one I will be loyal to for the rest of my life. She just inspires that kind of trust. Wish there were more like her, as it is hard to come across a whole office of people who are so personable, genuinely care about patients, and make them feel at home. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Dr. Benjamin and staff!!!! This will be a long relationship ya’ll!!!

I have been going to Elena Benjamin for my dental care for twenty years. I have never been overcharged or upsold on any procedure. I love Larisa as a hygenist. She is simply the best and I have not had any new cavities since seeing her! One time I had gone to another dentist (who shall go unnamed here) in the same building on the recommendation of a friend and this dentist said I needed two fillings done. I had Xrays checked at Dr. Benjamin’s who found nothing (this was ten years ago and the teeth are still fine, so I know the other dentist was lying). If you want honest treatment and avoiding paying for work you don’t need, I would highly recommend Dr. Benjamin’s office. I recommend everyone I know to them.

I must admit I went to Dr. Benjamin’s office on a whim.  I definitely did some research on her office, reading reviews, etc…. and decided I would give her a try.  I needed 3 crowns, and the dentist I was currently going to wanted to charge me over $2000 PER CROWN!!    Anyway, her office team are super friendly, helpful and kind.  Dr. Benjamin is really nice, and professional and did an AMAZING job on the crowns and I will definitely be going back to her for future dentist appointments.   What a great find!  I would definitely recommend friends, co-workers to go to her as well.  Thank you Dr. Benjamin!!!

I’ve been going to Dr. Benjamin’s office for over 12 years now, so I think it’s safe to say I”m very happy here. My Hygenist Larisa, is the absolute best. Dr. Benjamin is great and always explains everything so well and makes you feel comfortable. The office staff is always so friendly and helpful when I visit and when I call with a question, which is so refreshing. Nobody like going to the dentist, but I do like going to Dr. Benjamin and her team, they definitely make it easier.
