Balboa Dental Group

I am so happy that we found Balboa Dental Office. Everyone is so happy, courteous, and inviting. You can’t help but smile ! My dentist is Dr. Aline Ekizian who is gentle, charismatic, and gives options. I couldn’t be any happier. No one likes going to the dentist, but I think this may change for me.

I’m not one to give glowing reviews, I normally expect good service where I go, however I was pleasantly surprised with my experience at Balboa Dental Group in Granada Hills. The staff was super friendly from the moment I walked in. I’m always a bit nervous as I go to the dentist, but they really put me at ease and made me feel comfortable. It felt like they were actually happy to work there, which is something rare these days. The waiting room was so clean, which is always a good sign, but I didn’t have to wait long as they got me in pretty quickly. The patient room was also clean, and everything felt really new and updated, as you can see in the picture. They even had this state of the art machine for crowns, hadn’t seen anything like this at my old dental office. The dental hygienist was really nice and helpful as she prepped me for Dr Ekizian, who was just awesome! Dr. Ekizian patiently listened to my issue and explained everything she was about to do, which really alleviated my fears. She was very gentle and I didn’t feel like I was being poked, prodded or tugged at like previous dentists at other offices. I’m so glad I was referred to this friendly neighborhood dentist with all the latest amenities and I’d like to pay it forward by referring the Balboa Dental Group, in Granada Hills, to you.

My wife and I have been a regular patients at Balboa Dental for 4yrs+ and Dr. Aline Ekizian and all the staff have always been and continue to be super friendly, caring, and open to addressing question or concern that we have had. They are transparent about pricing and even offer financing/payment plans for larger procedures not covered by insurance. I recently completed cosmetic surgery and had my front teeth replaced with crowns and I could not put a price tag on the confidence increase it has given me. I receive compliments almost once a week on how nice my smile looks and I felt comfortable and supported throughout the procedure. You should absolutely trust Dr. Ekizian and her staff with all of your dental needs!!

I have a fear of going to the dentist because I've had some really bad experiences in the past. The doctor here really listened to my concerns and worked with me. When it came time to drill my cavities they were very kind and calming and totally quelled my anxiety. The staff here rocks!

I absolutely love and am so glad I found this place. The entire staff is so welcoming and professional. I no longer dread going to the dentist. Dr Ekizian is lovely! She spends time with you and ensures that you are at ease whenever you are there. I cannot recommend them enough.

Let’s see. Went to this place because it was close to me and was in my dental insurance network. Had a little sensitivity in a back tooth so needed to get it checked out. Right away noticed the front desk ladies are full of attitude. Not sure why. If you’re not happy with your job, find another. They did an xray and told me I need a root canal. Showed me half of my tooth being black and decayed under a filling. So based on one xray image, the doc glanced at it was like yeah root canal. I never had a root canal before so I am clueless and believe them. One of the workers comes back into the room with the charges for the root canal totaling $3,500 + out of which my insurance will pay $1000 and my out of pocket cost would be $2,500 ish. Told them I didn’t know I will need root canal so I didn’t come prepared for this procedure. She walks out by rolling her eyes and saying okay. I thank the doctor and go get my cleaning done by the hygienist. The whole thing didn’t feel right. I rescheduled my so called root canal for another day, thanked them, and left. Shared info with friends and family and they all were like root canal max should be $1,000 - $1,300. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I got to MY dentist who is not in network but at this point I don’t trust anyone anymore. She takes 3 Xrays, says I don’t see a root canal need. Looks into my mouth, says your old filling has a crack so that may cause sensitivity. Numbed me, took the whole filling out, exposed the tooth all the way to the nerve and says your tooth is clean, there is no decay, no infection. You just needed a new filling. Which she did. So tell me now, how isn’t this 1 star earned by this totally crooked place. I was gonna get a forced root canal when it was not needed based on 1 bad angled Xray, pay $3k for it and swallow it with their served attitude… no thank you! Best of luck screwing others over.
