Calm Dental 1(800)Sit-Calm

Started here for a cleaning from a Groupon deal. Everything fine until I needed a crown. Salooki told me I might need a root canal down the road as he was doing the crown. Crowns are not cheap, especially when sharing a building with the Biltmore, but I thought that was an odd thing to casually throw in. Skip ahead 3 years and I went to a different dentist who informed me the crown was not fitted right and a cavity had developed under it so it had to be redone.

When the new dentist took it off, to my horror, the old filling was still underneath! The idea that any medical professional would just slap something so important as a crown in my mouth just over the old problem without cleaning it out and sanding it like you would with any home project, is absurd. I put more care into painting over graffiti! Don't be fooled by the fancy building and massage chair, Salooki is a quack!

On my visit today, a patient who was not being treated at the time did not have a mask on. She was checking out and was not instructed to wear one. In a dental office of all places, I was shocked they did nothing to enforce this. Needless to say, I couldn't trust the safety and decided to leave and will not return.

Dr. Solooki and his staff are knowledgeable, courteous, and provide a clean and welcoming environment in Downtown LA for dental services. I've now been coming here for a couple of years and will be for many more. Recommended!

I'm so excited to get my smile back, better than before. I needed an implant and crown. Dr. Solooki did an amazing job! I highly recommend Calm Dental.

This dentist and their office doesn't actually care about the work being done to your teeth. They are more concerned with how much they can bill you for and encourage you to do procedures that you may not necessarily need. After confronting the Dr. Solooki about the poor quality of Root Canal performed as well as a sub par deep cleaning, instead of trying to explain why these procedures where done he tried to blame me as a patient.

It definitely explains a lot why this place is always so empty and that their Office Manager is no longer working for them. I suggest that anyone who truly cares about their teeth and dental hygiene stay far away from this dentist and dental office.

I had a great experience with Dr. Don Solooki. I have always dislike going to the dentist and for the first time, this place was very nice and everyone was so nice and professional. Its a judgement free zone where they truly care about you. Definitely will continue my dental work here.

I've been a patient of Dr. Solooki's for many years and can't say enough good things about him and his terrific team at Calm Dental. I've never been too keen on getting into the dentist's chair but thanks to Dr. Solooki and his team I've been able to get some much-needed work done and feel comfortable about both the work and the cost. Calm Dental is the greatest!

The staff was so kind and I really enjoyed the appointment. They got me in quickly and got everything I needed done in one appointment. Highly recommend!

Calm dental is the best! Dr Solooki is gentle, honest and professional. I'm not scared of the dentist anymore lol!

It's been a long while i've been needing deep cleaning after braces removal so i looked doctors around me on Google and found this good place. i got deep cleaning that was done so painless and so accurate by Hygienist Darwin, he's a sweetheart, made me feel comfortable and even when i got cold he brought a blanket, all to make me feel cared. I will definitely go back and of course, i will refer my friends to see Darwin, totally trustworthy!

I fell off a scooter (I am the clumsy sort), and chipped a couple teeth in the process. I was very concerned as a tooth chipping can turn very serious if not taken care of. I called Mr. Solooki's office a bit panicked. He saw me right away and assured me it was not serious and we were able to set an appointment the next day. Dental work can be very stressful because of the unknown cost.

I was expecting the worst but I believe it was priced extremely fair and I felt no pressure from the staff to do pay for anything. Some people mention the deep cleaning and I did get one myself because I was very much due for one. I had a very pleasant experience at this office and will be making this my regular dentist!

This Dentist put a gap between my teeth. When I called for a cleaning, it was $250. When I went in, it was $600. Then I informed him that I was quoted $250, he told me the job wouldn't be as good. I told him I have had several cleanings in the past. He was said okay. He rushed the cleaning in 10 minutes. Put a gap between my front teeth, that was never ever there. BEWARE OF WHO YOU GO TO. This dentist problem leeches off rich tourist who need emergency dental work. BE CAREFUL.

Dr. Solooki's office is by far the best dentist's office I've ever been to. Billing / Admin: Michael at the front desk is friendly, charming, and always provides clear explanations of the process of verifying the cost of procedures with my insurance. After a few cavities filled and several cleanings, I've never had any surprises with billing which I really appreciate. Procedures: When it comes to procedures and cleanings, Dr. Solooki and his dental hygienist are both warm and helpful.

They provide clear explanations for why procedures are necessary, and when possible they actually show me damage that needs to be repaired. I always feel safe and comfortable in their hands. Dr. Solooki does not push for me to do more than is necessary, and is always flexible on how much I'd prefer to do at each appointment, in case I'd like to space out costs / time.

Patient care: Dr. Solooki also called to check on me the day after I had 4 cavities filled to make sure I wasn't having any pain. These days a provider that cares that much is hard to find. He responds promptly to calls and texts, the office is flexible on scheduling, and you just can't beat that. I'd highly recommend this office - it's also conveniently located near the red line if you like taking the train.

I have been a patient of Calm Dental for years. I took a break when I went to grad school because of my insurance, but I should have just continued as a cash pay. They're great and I trust them. When they say I need a deep cleaning, it's not to get an extra buck and that ain't cheap since insurance does not cover deep cleanings. They had to fix up all the lost time, my darkest dental days.

The pandemic was tough since we couldn't finish my deep cleaning until several months later. I feel fine and saw them recently for a regular cleaning and have been doing well. They take good care of me! No paraffin wax for my hands because of the pandemic, but Netflix in every room and they have two massage chairs now! I'm still all relaxed while getting my teeth cleaned and they're good that I look forward to going to the dentist!

I've been seeing Dr. Sooloki for over 10 years now and recommend him EVERY time someone mentions they're anything less than *overjoyed* with their dentist. It's Calm Dental for a reason. LOL I'm always put at ease that I'm well looked after and all the staff are incredibly patient with my many, many questions. Recently, I had been putting off a visit due to the Coronapocolypse (being hyper vigilant), and was having some pain to the point where I was concerned I'd need a root canal.

So I braved the wilds and made an appointment. Not only was I thrilled to see the team taking all appropriate measures (Mask AND Face shields, sanitizing surfaces often, limiting people in the office, etc), but was incredibly relieved when the Doc was able to eliminate my discomfort with a simple adjustment. YAY!

One star bc the office smells like poop. One star bc Dr Solooki, after 38 weeks of Invisalign treatment, put me into a new set of aligners that reset me back to Day One within a period of 3 days of nauseating pain. Solooki doesn't dispute this mistake, it's just that I paid in advance and we disagree on the ethics of charging someone for this particular experience. It's been ten months hoping for a peaceful resolution that hasn't come. Hope this review helps someone

Had a wonderful experience with Dr Solooki. I was in need of a deep clean and was hesitant since a prior deep clean at a different location turned out to be a very painful one. Fortunately, I had no level of discomfort this time around. Dr Solooki was gentle and professional, inquiring if I felt okay to proceed after each quadrant was thoroughly cleaned. Thank you so much for caring for your patients. Will definitely return for my regular cleanings

Had such a great experience coming to calm dental. The check In process was so easy and fast completed forms online prior to coming into office. Office was easy to locate as well as parking. Dr. Was so caring and explain my treatment thoroughly to understand. During my cleaning I felt so relaxed would definitely recommend calm dental! :

Dr. Salooki has been my dentist for years and I would never want another dentist. He is amazing! He is super detailed and has taken great care of my dental work, and I have a lot of work to get done. I love his expertise and can always trust him with his advice. Recently I left an email after hours regarding a swollen tooth and Dr. Salooki called me back within an hour and had my prescription ready the same night. Amazing and kind dentist. I would highly recommend to any new patient. Trust me, the best dentist you will find out there.

Great dentist. Went to get a wisdom tooth extracted. Had a very thorough and comfortable preliminary examination. Came back to get it out - no pain, clear, comfortable, and good recovery. Very helpful check up a week later confirmed the good work. Very friendly staff and nice facilities. Remember you and what you need. I don't have insurance, and they were very accommodating and had plenty of options available to get the work at a reasonable cost. Nothing wrong, great stuff.

Dr. Solooki and Micheal the office Manager are the absolute best and have a dream team

I've been seeing Dr. Sooloki for 10 years, and I'm constantly referring him to my friends and colleagues. This is a great team of dental pros: patient, TALENTED, and definitely have a soothing bedside manner. Over the years I've had a bad crown from a previous dentist replaced and a root canal on the same tooth; I've heard horror stories about root canals and was absolutely petrified and kept putting it off 'till I just couldn't anymore. : But it was so easy peasy. Having Netflix to distract me from the sound was *fantastic* and I felt like I was in and out in no time.

I can't say enough positive things about Calm dental and the care I have received here over the last 6 years. Darwyn is a fantastic and thorough hygienist. Dr. Solooki is knowledgeable, personable, and professional- with a great sense of humor. Come here for your dental needs, you won't be disappointed.

I went here a while back to get my teeth cleaned. I was nervous at first, because I brush my teeth every day, and I didn't want them to find anything that I didn't know about. I went through the examination, and I waited after making my appointment the night before. Overall I had a good experience, the whole process was nerve-racking at first, but Don made sure I was in good hands.

He made my small wider than it was. And I was able to leave with a good sense of accomplishment. If you need any dental work done, minor or major. This is the person to go to. I wouldn't want to go to anybody else, thank you and keep making people smile!

After 4 dental appointments and 3 actual visits. Although this dental has the lowest of rating (4.7) among the other 2 (at 4.8 and 4.9 stars) I'm seriously hoping this is it. While I'm yet to undergo the implant operation, this review/rating is SOLELY FOR CONSULTATION PART. Compared to other dental visits. Dr Solooki visit was straightforward and efficient.

This dentistry actually offered X-ray scans without billing or charging me anything. Asked me questions on what I want to get done and gave his honest recommendations too. And he never rushed the consultation. Other dental visits has always been about telling you what you needed done. After listening to my current dentist (no longer going to be) on what I needed done, I ended up losing more.

My general dentist recommended and did fillings on a tooth that looked fine, (only to see the tooth cracked/split in half to the roots within the month), now the tooth has to be extracted and an implant done. And this is how I ended up dentist-shopping Finally I'm just a little disappointed for not starting the operation right away as I was hoping.

Simply because advertised price $1999 for everything only to go in and be given actual pricing of $2899. Couldn't give a 5-star experience because they were quick to make copies of my DL the moment I arrived in. Never had this experience in other 3 different consultations with other dentists.

Wow! Great service from the first call, to the welcoming receptionists, all the way through with my teeth cleaning and whitening. Great experienced! Kim did my cleaning and my teeth were smooth as glass and glistened like Edwards skin in the sunlight after the whitening. Wow again! I started a new job and this gave me the confidence to smile at everyone. I would rate a hundred stars if I could! Thanks Calm Dental!
