Ronald Tawa, DDS:
Practice Profile Page

Dr. Tawa and his staff were kind enough to let me observe his private practice so I could gain more exposure to the field of dentistry as a first-year dental student. Dr. Tawa encompasses all traits of an exceptional dentist. He is a professional with a calming bedside manner who is honest with his patients and explains all treatment plans thoroughly. Dr. Tawa and his staff provide a relaxing environment for his patients and provide outstanding care. I would highly recommend Dr. Tawa for any patient needing dental care and I hope to one day provide patients with the skill and compassion that he has demonstrated.

In one word – phenomenal. I’ve been a patient of Dr Tawa from day one, when he took over this practice a few years ago. I was a patient of his predecessor since about 1970, as a child. I am delighted. He is diligent; he takes the time to explain things; he’ll answer any question you have to any level of depth that you wish to go. He has a dry sense of humor that is given away by the twinkle in his eye. I’ve now been taking my 6 yr old son to see Dr. Tawa. I don’t recall seeing lots of children as patients. Nonetheless, his skill, his style, and his demeanor, work very well with my son. When he’s told that he has an upcoming dentist appointment, his reply is “Yessss! I get to see Dr Tawa tomorrow!” Most of us will go out of our way to tell our friends about a great new restaurant we found…or about the deal we found at the mall. However, very few of us will call our friends after a dental appointment and say “I just got back from the dentist and it was awesome!” If ever that became the accepted norm, I would be calling my friends and raving about my dentist.

I am a complete chicken when it comes to dentists.  Dr. Tawa and his hygenist Amanda have helped me work on my dental health by providing a relaxing, no-judgment​ environment and pain-free work.  The front office staff is always friendly and accommodating​ when my work schedule changes (or when I have the occasional panic attack in the office).  This team is well versed on recent innovations in dentistry and oral hygiene​ without resorting to gimmicks.  Can’t recommend them enough.

I have been going to Dr. Tawa for about a year now (3-4 appointments so far) and have had no concerns or any negative experiences! The staff is very friendly, making appointments is easy, and I only have to wait about 5-10 minutes before I am seen for my appointment. The assistants/hygienists are great and do a fantastic job. Dr. Tawa is very knowledgeable, explains procedures and problems very well and addresses any concerns in an excellent manner. I would recommend Dr. Tawa to my family and friends.

Dr. Tawa is AMAZING and very thorough with his examination.. Dr Tawa’s staff are all just as amazing… very nice, caring and talkative.. Originally my mother and I had gone to a dentist in Montclair for some dental work. My mothers total estimate was close to $10k. My estimate was around $900. We came to Dr Tawa to each get a second opinion and hopefully have the work done here.. and the estimate my mother got was just over $4k, and the estimate I got was just over $400.. We were both happy with the price and the outcome..

WOW! What results! My teeth are actually white after one two hour session! Dr. Tawa uses the same equipment (Zoom) as with other teeth whitening facilities. But he does something notably different that yield remarkable results. Years ago, I visited a dentist and spent north of $700 for teeth whitening. There were no visible results. I complained to him and he gave me another procedure, still with nothing. Since then, I’ve tried various over the counter products with no success. I decided to try Dr. Tawa’s office through a referral. I really feel like a different person! I’m more confident of my smile because they’re no longer stained with years of coffee and tea. I’ve also learned that Dr. Tawa specializes in an oral appliance that addresses sleep apnea. He said that a lot of dentists don’t take Medicare because it pays so little, but Dr. Tawa is one of the few offices that take Medicare. He’s an expert in this field. Physicians often refer sleep apnea clients to him. He mentioned that some people have it without even knowing it. The oral appliance is quite different that the conventional equipment for sleep apnea. This was quite fascinating.

Love Dr. Tawa and his staff — the first time I came to the office I kept missing the building it was very frustrating but the staff stayed on the phone with me & even sent an employee outside to flag me down. Dr. Tawa is very gentle, kind & knowledgeable. The staff is always professional & goes the extra step to ensure my comfort which is amazing since I’m not a fan of going to the dentist. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for an experienced & professional dental office.

Dr. Tawa is the best dentist I have ever been to. I have been to dozens of dentist’s offices never feeling comfortable or calm until I finally found Dr. Tawa. Both myself, my mom, my step dad, and my dad go to Dr Tawa because he does such great work. I refer everyone I know to go to go him. I’ve moved around a lot to different states and countries and every time I come visit Los Angeles I make an appointment for a cleaning and check up. I still go to Dr. Tawa’s office despite living 3,000 miles away. I moved to New York about a year ago and I still won’t let anyone touch my teeth but these guys. They are so accommodating and gentle with my teeth that I will continue to come here as long as possible. He has fixed botchy work on my teeth that other dentists have done and they are really great at referring other dentists for specialized work like retainers or braces. They don’t pressure you to get x-rays done every 3 months like most dentists do and they always let you spit as much as you want during cleanings. It’s things like this that keep me coming back. I’m very picky and get compulsive about things like spitting or wiping my mouth during the cleanings and the staff never minds my craziness. I recommend Dr Tawa for all patients, especially traumatized ones because the staff and Dr Tawa will make you so comfortable its like you are in a spa instead of the dentist.

Dr.Tawa and his team has cured my dentist fobia. They are very kind and informative. Dr.Tawa is an old school type of guy, he really wants to do good job. I’m so greatful that I found him. And, thank you, Amanda, my Dental hygienist. My teeth are clean and white!

I just moved to the South Bay and was referred to Dr. Tawa by a colleague.  If you are looking for a new dentist, look no further!  Now that I have experienced the quality and service at Dr. Tawa’s office, I question the dental care I have been getting for years.  My teeth have never been cleaner (or straighter thanks to some minor cosmetic work by Dr. Tawa) and the staff is so nice, organized and professional.  Definitely my new dental home and am so impressed my husband plans to switch over too for his next cleaning.
