Forever Smile

I have had such a wonderful experience with Forever Dental. They are always so gentle, understanding, and helpful! My hygienist Sanaz is especially friendly and she makes my cleanings very pleasant and pain-free.

This dental office is excellent. Their professionalism is exceptional, their staff are amazing and my 2 visits have been the most educational that I've ever experienced. Their office is nice and it's a fantastic overall experience. Don't hesitate to use these guys!

My husband and I have become new patients of Forever Smile and we've had the best experience. The staff are super accommodating and the actual office is gorgeous and clean. The hygienist does a great job at making you feel comfortable and Dr. Shelyan makes everything easy for you to understand and receive treatment. I'm so so happy to finally have found a Dentist office that I can trust! I'll definitely be referring my friends to Forever Smile!

I chose forever smile after doing tons of research for good dentists in my area, and was not disappointed! In addition to having super great staff (I've seriously never been so thrilled to have a cleaning done because they're really gentle and caring during their work), the office also has fantastic views of palm trees and the city. Parking is also super easy across the street, which in LA is super helpful as well. Sarit is a caring person who works with you to get the most out of your insurance coverage and overall 10/10 would recommend!

I am very pleased with my experience at Forever Smile. They are proactive in dealing with potential issues and I appreciate that. I am very happy to have Dr. Shelyan as my dentist. I feel like it's one less thing too worry about. Highly recommend!

I was recommended this dentist office by a coworker and have been very happy with them! The doctors and staff members are knowledgeable, friendly, patient and efficient. Very glad I made the switch here because it's been quite a journey finding a doctor/office I can trust.

Forever smile is an amazing Dentist to go to. They take health very seriously. I appreciate their natural consciousness of the products they use. I've only had great experiences here from the Dentist himself, to payment and the front desk. Highly recommend!

Very friendly and helpful staff. I started coming to this dental office at the start of the pandemic and have been happy with my visits. Dr. Shelyan has been very thorough and helpful. Also love cleanings with Armen!

It's been a long time since I've had a great dentist, and I finally feel comfortable here. We've moved here from CO, and after a few not so good places in LA, we found here. Highly recommend it, they're nice, straight forward, and won't push you on stuff you don't need. Honesty is hard to find, and these folks are super honest. Armen is amazing, gentle and thorough! Thank you for making the dentist a comfortable experience!

I have been going to Forever Smile since 2017 (ish) and I've always have such a great experience. Dr. Shelyan and his team are always so helpful and informative with every visit. I always come out of my appointments feeling satisfied and educated in what they are doing for my teeth. Sarit and her team run an awesome front office that always feels welcoming and professional. I always recommend them when people ask me for a dentist in the LA area.

I became very alarmed and concerned when after a routine dental cleaning the doctor agreed with the hygenist that I needed to replace a crown and 2 fillings. I had just had a full examination & x-rays the month prior and none of this was recommended then! After seeking a second option I was told I only needed one filling replaced. Thankfully, I found a very competent more trustworthy dentist, and closer to home!

Update here - the fillings have given me trouble since I got them and my hometown dentist wasn't thrilled with the quality. Shallow with sharp edges. AVOID THIS PLACE.

Important update: 8/26/21 I forgot to mention the Dr. told me I had 19 NINETEEN! cavities. I'm 22 years old and never had a cavity before in my life. I let him fill 3 (never should've since they're now causing me issues and bleeding) before letting him know I'll be getting a 2nd opinion before getting more fillings. That is when he stopped returning my phone calls and went ghost.

No wonder why - he didn't want me to get a second opinion and find out how much of a scam artist he is! I just left my new dentist and guess how many cavities I have? 0! ZERO! I want to cry because of how badly taken advantage of I was. I didn't realize until I got a second opinion. PLEASE save yourself the thousands of dollars this greedy dentist is trying to scam you out of before ruining your teeth.

I wonder if I even needed the root canal and crown he also had me do. Probably not! Just another way to squeeze as much money out me as he could. Just evil and disgusting. Positives: I like the doctor. He got me in pretty quickly when I needed an emergency molar removal that was infected along with my top wisdoms extracted. He also did a crown and filled some cavities.

His assistant (or hygienist I can't remember) is also super sweet. I felt very comfortable under their care. Negatives: pretty expensive & they've completely ghosted me for no reason. I emailed Sarit about 3 months ago to get the total cost of everything left I needed work on. Which is basically just cavities. After emailing twice I called and her excuse was that they're short staffed and she's sorry.

But after 2 months without even a courtesy email to let me know what's going on is just extremely unprofessional and disrespectful of patients health & time. She asked me to call back in an hour and she would try but never did. I've called a few more times since and left a voicemail. No answer. It's been almost 2 weeks now. There's so many other amazing dentists that actually have good office staff who care about getting back to you promptly that I will no longer waste my time trying to get a call back.

It's just mind blowing after spending THOUSANDS of dollars with them that they can't even return my calls or emails. Extremely unprofessional. Especially seeing how I need documents to send to my insurance company and I can't even get them now. Just a complete hassle for no reason. Picking up the phone would've been quicker than me having to write this review. I recommend saving your time and energy and looking elsewhere.

I was with the same dental practice for 14 years. About a year ago, the previous doctor sold his practice to Dr. Shelyan - and how I regret that my wonderful dentist decided to sell to Dr. Shelyan. On my last visit, the doctor didn't even bother to come in the room for the examination, and still charged my insurance for his service. The office was completely disinterested when I raised this issue.

I regret, after 14 years with the same practice, I am now looking for a new dentist. I could not recommend Forever Smile any less. Where I referred over a dozen new patients to the previous dentist at this practice, I couldn't recommend against Forever Smile any more strongly. Do not go here, it's a severe disappointment.

Highly recommend Forever smile. After neglecting my teeth for many years I was a bit nervous to go back to the dentist but after my first consultation with Dr. Shelyan and his wonderful staff I knew I was in good hands! I've never been so relaxed sitting in the dentist chair before. it's like a spa for my teeth. The doctor really takes the time to explain everything to you and I never felt pressured to add unnecessary services. Pricing is very fair in my experience. Both my wife and I go here now and love it.

I always feel i get such a great treatment at forever smile. I have been coming here for 7 years and the doctor and his staff always seem to be thoughtful in what they prescribe.

I was a previous patient of Dr. Milanez. I really liked him and his squad. But now it seems everyone left. Rita was great, also Armand. The hyenist is great also. Anyway, Milanez always took great care of my teeth but was very surprised to find out I needed all my fillings refilled. Not just 1 or 2 but all of them! There's no way as Milanez had done 2 fillings done himself 2 years back.

As for the other ones they didn't need anything. Read previous comments and it seems others are being told the same. Upselling is their game. Be very weary and get a second opinion. And unnecessary work is not only a waste of money but also possibly root canals in the future. Leading you to more future visits and more money. You've been warned.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience with forever smile. They are SO kind and thorough. They make sure you know what is happening and WHY it is happening. Sarit has been such a huge help in truly understanding the process of my oral health. I also love that I never have to wait long to be seen. They are on time!

Doctor Shelyan is so wonderful. I had to have an emergency wisdom tooth removal and even with a very busy schedule they fit me in the day the pain started and had my surgery scheduled the next day. He never pressures you into procedures and prices are reasonable. He always takes time to explain everything to you and is great with dental anxiety. With cleaning and routine work the whole staff is so kind and helpful with lots of reminders and every hygienist I've seen is super lovely to work with. I'm so relieved to finally have a dental office I love!

The entire team is extremely professional and friendly! My first visit they provided photos of before and after my cleaning and I cannot what an amazing job they did! I thought plaque build up was permanent, especially after having gone to so many other DDS in the past, but they were able to get my teeth CLEAN, white, and beautiful! I highly recommend giving them a try so you can quickly discover for yourself what a great experience going to the dentist can be!

I've been with the previous dentist Dr Milanez for many years and loved the practice since they were friendly, efficient, professional and the care was excellent. I never had services pressured like some other LA dental offices. But it's been taken over by a new dentist. He seemed ok, but didn't explain out why and what he recommended in terms of a small cavity that he thought he saw.

I always run stuff by my sister-in-law who is a dentist and have been trying to get copies of the films for many weeks, and they funnel everything via the manager. I need a release form (which is actually not legally necessary) but they won't email it to me. The person that handles this doesn't return the calls I've left. The previous staff seem to be leaving. Armand who's the hygenist is so AWESOME and has the gentlest hands & does an amazing cleaning.

Also frustrating is that they email you about reminders and other things, but you can't actually communicate via email either. UGH, I hope they get over the growing pains but I don't see that I'll be sticking around.

Dr. Shelyan and Sarit are the most kind, courteous, and thoughtful professionals I've come across in Los Angeles. After I called to schedule my first appointment, they got me in the next morning. Sarit really cares about my dentist office experience and often makes recommendations on ways to optimize my plan and to get the best value. Dr. Shelyan makes me feel at ease, helps me understand what he's doing, and takes the worry out of the equation. Both of them answer all of my questions without feeling rushed. I highly recommend their services.

I am a patient of Dr. Milanez for many years, however in August 2020, he has since relocated to another state. I came in for a cleaning. Arman provided the procedure and was great as always. Dr Shelyan, who took over the practice, came in afterwards to introduce himself and assess my teeth. He noticed teeth grinding ( he was correct- I've been grinding while sleeping) and recommended a return for x-rays and a tray fitting night guard.

All the staff were pleasant as always. Will be returning. Please remember that your co-pay and expense for procedures, depends on what insurance plan you have. Each persons circumstance is different, so be mindful of comparing your procedural costs with others.

They take care of you here. The professionalism is on the next level. I've had a lot of work done and they made sure to keep educated along the way. They also have modern technology or most up to date is more like it.

Excellent dentist and excellent staff! The dentist knows what he is doing and I have never felt anymore safe and assured that the work I am getting done is top-notch! Highly recommended!

This is the best dental office I've ever been too. I moved from the east coast to LA a year ago and I was pretty nervous about going to a new dental office but even starting with my first phone conversation, the girl on the phone made me feel comfortable. My visit was amazing. Dr. Shelyan and his team did a great job at making sure I knew exactly what treatment I need and where I would stand financially. I really appreciate their transparency. I'll always refer people to this office.

So I started my Invisalign in August 2019 and I'm almost done. I'm on my second to last set. I am obsessed with how easy it is and how fast I was seeing results. I had a huge gap in the between my top front teeth but it's now all closed. I love my smile and have gained so much confidence. And it's all thanks to Dr. Shelyan and the team at Forever Smile! Update: finished Invisalign and wanted to share my before and after picture. It's crazy how in just a few short months Dr. Shelyan changed my smile. As you can see I had big gaps and spacing between my teeth and now they're all straight. Thank you to the Forever Smile team!

I started to experience a lot of pain out of nowhere on Monday of this week. I found Forever Smile through my insurance's website. I called, explained my situation, and within a day I had already started antibiotics. I was able to be seen on Wednesday, and I had two wisdom teeth extracted. The dentist took great care in following safety guidelines during the current situation.

He and his assistant were super kind and gave me amazing care. He even called me a few hours after the extraction to see how I was doing. I'm really grateful that I found them and on such short notice.

Had a dental emergency and Dr. Shelyan and Sarit were amazing. Got me in quick and I'm on my way to a new crown and whiter teeth, plus both are the nicest people ever and the service is great. Highly recommended!

I've been going to Forever Smile for a few years now and as much as one can enjoy going to the dentist, it has been a great experience. All of the staff, from front desk to hygienists to the doctor himself have been very friendly and professional and have pushed me to get my mouth in great shape. They also take my insurance, always a plus!

My experience was very good. The staff is very friendly and efficient. I always feel I am in good hands. Armand did an incredible job giving me a teeth cleaning. I used to dread going to the dentist in the past. But not anymore.

Update! I just completed my Invisalign treatment. My smile is looking amazing, thank you to Dr. Mehrshad and the entire Forever Smile staff for making this process seamless. Loving my new smile!

My girlfriend and I moved to LA from NYC and needed a dentist. My girlfriend found Forever Smile and recommended it to me as well and the reason is obvious! The staff are helpful, friendly, and above all honest, direct and careful in describing procedures, costs and reasoning behind treatment. If you are looking for a dentist you will get the best service and treatment here without a doubt.

Something extra for busy folks out there - staff is very flexible and communicative regarding timing for appointments which has been very helpful when navigating a busy schedule. Thanks!

BEWARE SCAM ALERT! I had my 1st apt yesterday and was immediately asked for a deep cleaning procedure that cost $600+ (red flag). Dentist opened a "new" packet of dental tools, mirror was scratched and they looked cheap and old (red flag). Dentist was informative but used a marketing pamphlet to read verbatim his probing procedure. Handed over to assistant who dressed very rich (red flag) designer labels, huge jewelry, and definitely means business.

I said no to the $600+ deep cleaning and she had the audacity to ask if it was financial reasons, and proceeded to ask if I was interested in financing. Mind you, there is a huge sticker in front of the dental chair on the window about financing (red flag) and without hesitation, asked when to schedule an apt. (red flag) She was upset and flustered, probably not what a sales person would like to hear. Beware they are smart business sales people, but best believe your strategies are noticeable and people are smarter. Just read the other low reviews.

A breath of fresh air in finding the right Dentist. I don't write reviews, but I feel this is the appropriate time to do so. This office is fantastic. Their staff is kind and considerate. I set an appointment and they responded right away. They even fit me in earlier. I had difficulties getting to the office ontime due to horrible traffic and they didn't turn me away!

It was a great appointment and treated me like family. The Doctor is honest, and has integrity. I have been searching for a good dentist and I finally found the right office. 10 stars to forever smile.

I have been coming here for about a year and have been more than satisfied with their service. They are extremely nice, flexible and knowledgeable. I really appreciate the preventative measures they've recommended. I'd recommend them 10 out of 10 times.

Highly recommended. I have been their patient for many years. Dr. Shelyan is very honest and kind. His work is pristine and detailed oriented. My last procedure was a root canal and I was really nervous. But I did not feel any thing and had no pain or swelling aftr procedure. He also takes care of my TMJ, gave me a nightguard and kept adjusting it until it felt comfortable. Dr. Shelyan's staff are very caring and nice and accommodating.
