Life Smile Dental Center

Terrified of dentists. My dentist left the area, so I was asked by my husband to see his dentist. I was reluctant, but I made my appointment after several months. Today I walked into Dr. Whitley’s office and I was greeted by a friendly staff. I asked to brush my teeth, and the restroom was clean with cups and mouthwash. Dr. Whitley was gentle, kind and professional. His assistant was great with easing my way into a new office, and taking my x-rays. The dental hygienist was informative and professional as she dealt with me, after a 2 year hiatus of dental cleaning. Grateful having a decent report, I felt very comfortable with her, as she eased my mind about returning in 6 months for routine care. The front office was great! Everyone made my experience the best it could be. I will recommend Dr. Whitley to my friends.

Dr. Whitley and his team truly go above and beyond to ensure their patients receive the best possible care. He is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but he also has a calming and reassuring demeanor that instantly puts you at ease. He takes the time to thoroughly explain each procedure, answering all my questions, and he makes sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. His attention to detail and commitment to excellence are evident in every aspect of his work. The staff at Life Smile Dental Center are equally impressive. From the friendly receptionists who greeted me with warm smiles to the dental hygienists and assistants who are professional and caring, every team member contributed to a positive and stress-free visit. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Whitley and the staff to anyone seeking top-notch dental care. Their expertise, compassion, and dedication to patient satisfaction are truly unmatched. Thank you for making my dental experience a positive one!

I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Sean! Going to the dentist can be a bit nerve-wracking, but Dr. Sean made me feel completely at ease. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his patients. The office uses the latest technology, which made my visit quick and comfortable. I particularly appreciated how he explained everything to me in detail before starting any procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Sean for anyone looking for a top-notch dentist in the Tarzana area!

Life Smile continues to be a warm hearted dentist that cares for its patients. The staff is always friendly. I loved meeting with Dr. Sean for the first time. He was very personable and spent time conversing with me. He gave me an exam and discussed possible procedures that I might take to resolve several problems that I have. I like that he was not in a hurry to do immediate repairs but left it up to my own timeliness.

I’ve been coming to life smile for over 6 years now seeing Dr. Whitley. I’ve moved over an hour away from his office and still drive down to see him, if that tells you anything about his practice or the work he does. He has done multiple fillings and crowns and is very detail oriented and makes sure all of my questions and concerns are addressed. Truly the best!

I am very disappointed of my experience with Life Smile Dental Center. The quality of service gone down significantly. My last cleaning at their office resulted a painful infection for weeks. Infection caused another issue in a molar and they misdiagnosed it as well. Instead, they proposed work on different teeth for new crowns. Misdiagnosed molar continued to deteriorate and I ended up with severe bone loss and tooth extraction. Estimates for dental work they provided were grossly inaccurate. They told me they got quotes from my insurance but later when I called my insurance company said they never contacted them because all estimates are tracked. I messaged the receptionist asking where did she get the quote from and she never responded. The latest bill they sent was much more than proposal, including surprise bills. That's not all, just sharing a part of it to help others avoid this nightmare and stress.

It is actually a pleasure going to the dentist at Lifesmile. Dr. Sean and Dr. Whitley are excellent dentists who take such good care of our teeth, and Elena, our hygenist is superb in keeping our mouths healthy and cavity free. Mary and Cindy, who handle the insurance and appointments are just so helpful and personable that i cannot recommend the office more highly. 😁
