A 2005 Magna Cum Laude graduate of Creighton Dental School, Dr. Goren completed a general practice residency at Cedars-Sinai Hospital. Following the residency, he completed a two-year postgraduate program in endodontics at the University of Southern California. Dr. Goren is a member of California Dental Association, American Assoc. of Endodontics (AAE), and a member of American Dental Assoc.
Our office uses modern, state-of-the-art technology to enhance patient comfort and to help you get the smile you deserve! We are proud to announce that we now have the technology available in office to take 3D images (cone beam) for our patients. These images are extremely valuable when diagnosing certain conditions and evaluating oral conditions for the placement of implants. Less then 5% of dental offices make the investment to acquire and educate themselves to use this technology and we are excited to be in that 5%.
We are concerned foremost with your health. However, some of the procedures we perform are intended not only to control disease, but to provide you with a cosmetic benefit. Some patients may look older than their years because their teeth appear to be too long ("long in the tooth"). Soft tissue grafts and other root coverage procedures are designed to cover exposed roots and make the teeth look much better.
With the exception of your natural teeth, nothing looks more natural than an implant. One important benefit of implants is that they slow the shrinking of bone and gum tissue from the area of the missing tooth, thus preventing premature aging. Of Americans between the ages of 18 and 64, approximately 49% are missing at least one tooth.

I am genuinely impressed on how horrible the receptionist Diane is at her job. She is extremely rude and you will be lucky to get through on a phone call. Stay away if you can. or just wait for her to get fired it's bound to happen.

We started coming here a couple of years ago because we really love a particular dental hygienist. The wait time upon arrival used to be 5-10 mins and today, the wait time was up to 46 mins upon checking in. The front desk staff, particularly Darlene is incredibly rude and leaves such a bad impression and tone for our services. We are moving on to a different establishment based on the straw that broke The camels back crap service today. The two stars for the Doctors and hygienists service.

These people were nice. Till I applied for assistance with my work. The foundation sent a check to them. From that moment on. They kept me on the dark about the work being done. I only got half the work done. And was badgered into paying from my pocket. This has gone through three owners. Very unprofessional. I would not recommend this place. At all.

She receptionist was so rude, and didn't want to even give me a quote for how much a routine exam would cost that I decided to not go there at all. Didn't want to be surprised with hidden costs after the exam. She finally gave me some prices after debating the issue with her. The exam was 90, cleaning was extra. Wouldn't give me a quote on cleaning. X-rays were 139. Seemed kind of expensive, especially when prices were not given freely. Decided it didn't matter what the cost was, if I had to deal with that lady every time I called then it was not worth it

Called to try a new dentist. The person who answered the phone did not want to give me any pricing info such as the cost of an exam, X-rays, cleaning. Very defensive. Finally gave me some costs so I would know if I could afford to go there. The exam was $90, the X-rays were 139, and she would not tell me how much a routine cleaning was. It didn't matter. She was so extremely rude, I wasn't planning on going there anymore.

Unfortunately I had a TERRIBLE experience with Dr. Real at The San Dimas Dental Group. Their advertising verbiage states that they will not try to hard sell any procedures. Well, I am a Senior Citizen who has had Dr. Bunkers take care of my teeth for over 20 years. Upon learning about Dr. Bunker's retirement, I was assigned Dr. Real. As soon as the Dr. walked into the room and was introduced to me by the Hygienist, I felt that there were going to be issues.

I was correct. Here is the list of issues. Please remember that Dr. Bunkers has treated me for a very long time and made sure that my teeth stayed healthy FOR MY AGE: 1. When introduced to me, Dr. Real didn't even come around to the front of the chair to greet me personally. 2. When he finally did, he looked into my mouth to give me a report on my x-rays and do a general inspection, BUT then proceeded to tell me all that was wrong with my teeth that DR Bunkers has been taking care of all this time, as follows: a.

He said that I needed Braces (please remember that I am a Senior Citizen) b. He said that I needed a Tooth Implant c. He said that I am grinding my teeth and causing marks on my tongue d. He asked me how often I had Migraines. I had to tell him that I have NEVER had a Migraine in my life. He said that I will if I continue to grind my teeth. e. He said that there is also a strong possibility that I will soon need a Root Canal, too. f.

He asked me if I floss. After the Hygienist had just finished cleaning and praising me for my flossing diligence. 3. After all this inspection of the terrible condition of my teeth that have been taken care of by Dr. Bunkers, HE HAD THE NERVE TO ASK ME WHAT PROCEEDURES I WANTED HIM TO DO! 4. THEN THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK WAS THAT HE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE Courtesy TO WISH ME A GOOD DAY OR EVEN AS MUCH AS SAY IT WAS A PLEASURE MEETING ME. Honestly, if it wasn't for my fantastic Dental Hygienist, Yvette, I would never go back to The San Dimas Dental Group.

If I ever require dental work in the future, I will insist that he or she Dr. will be courteous and not try to sell me all the unnecessary services. If you think I am a complainer, Please consider that I am 78 years old and have been taken care of very well for my age by Dr. Bunkers. But now that he has retired, the Dental Group seems to be MUCH DIFFERENT. I am VERY DISSAPPOINTED and unhappy with my experience with them.

New dentists work there now. Be careful that one of the dentists doesn't upsell you. If your insurance covers things then maybe that works, otherwise just be a wise consumer. Staff are very helpful and professional. One dentist in particular is really excellent and will be straight with you.

Been going to this place for over 25 years. New owners and new dentists left a lot to be desired. For many reasons I decided to see if I could locate my old dentist. I did find her and many of my friends are also switching over.

I was a patient here since 1990. The single star (should be zero stars) is solely for the new owner/dentist. Other recent reviews are correct. Dr Bunkers is no longer the dentist here. I didn't know this until I was in getting my cleaning. It used to be a 5 star dental office. It was the only place I trusted my teeth to for decades. The new dentist is atrocious!

He wanted me to think he needed to redo every single crown Dr Bunkers did and presented me with an estimate in the thousands (and this was after insurance figured in)! The only thing he was clear about was the dollar amount. He also assumed I wanted to schedule all this work immediately. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I went to another local dentist who gave me a few fillings and cosmetic clean up and one tooth which that guy said needed a new crown was fixed with a filling.

None of my crowns which I was told needed replacing, ended up needing any repair or replacing. Also during the pandemic my favorite hygienist, who I saw regularly as well, moved away. I do feel sorry for the staff, hygienists, and assistants who are still there. They are all top notch and wonderful. I hope they find employment with a dentist who is upstanding, honest and credible, unlike this new dentist who is terrible.

Terrible servo e for a new customer. I showed up early - had to wait 25 minutes then they told me they're running late. Then they wouldn't give me PII paperwork back. TERRIBLE! Never again.

Worst customer service ever! Don't bother go there, they're plenty as a great dental office everywhere. No wonder why they didn't claim the page! They are afraid for the bad reviews they are going to have.

Our family has been seeing Dr. Bunkers for well over 30 years, and we have referred him to numerous friends. He is an exceptional dentist with a great staff, most of whom have been there for as long as I can remember. That alone should tell you something. One more important note, Julie is the best hygienist ever!

I have never been so happy with going to the dentist before. It's definitely one of my least favorite activities. Dr. Bunkers might be the last honest dentist left, as well as an amazing staff.

I detest going to the dentist, let's get that out of the way up front. Although I still get anxious coming here, they are very welcoming, and nice. Dr. Savani is really good. She takes the time to explain everything to me and makes sure that I am ok the whole time. She always takes the less invasive course of action, and seems genuinely interested in my well being.

The front office staff took a little time to warm up to, but maybe they were just busy. Dental assistant staff is great and friendly. Overall, very happy with this dental practice.

I took my daughter for evaluation on removing her braces. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. John Bunker and his assistant Mercedes. They were very informative and helpful gave me a treatment plan I felt most comfortable with to complete her treatment, put my mind at ease. I will definitely be going back to complete her orthodontist treatment.

Dr. Brar saved me! He's got an incredible staff that is friendly and helpful. He was able to quickly identify that I needed a root canal and crown and got me fixed up nice and quick. I wasn't able to chew for weeks and then Dr. Brar told me I would be pain free in no time. I highly recommend San Dimas Dental group for your dental needs. Dr. Brar and his team will do wonders for you!

Dr. John Bunker has been my Dentist for many years. However, In the past 15 months, Dr. John Bunker cared for my teeth with Invisalign. One side of my teeth had a bad underbite. Plus, I needed my teeth to be straighten. I never had braces prior to Invisalign. With Invisalign, my teeth crossed over eliminating the underbite. Plus my teeth are now straight and I have a wider smile. My teeth look amazing and I couldn't be happier. Thank you Dr. Bunker and Mercedes who was there to assist throughout the process.

I have been a SDDG patient for many years. The office is very comfortable and professional, and the staff have always been kind and helpful. I had the pleasure of Ms. Julie providing me with my semi-annual cleaning this week. She is always thorough with me and I always leave the office with a great feeling and big smile! Dr. Savani has been my Dentist for the past several years and she makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed every time I see her. I highly recommend the dental services of SDDG.

I have been a patient of Dr. Bunkers for almost 30 years and I have always loved him and his staff. After having a not so great experience with my last cleaning appointment (with the hygienist) I decided to request a cleaning with Alex, who came highly recommended by my parents, who are also patients of Dr. Bunkers. My experience was one of the best I have had in a while.

She was very patient and understanding and made me feel very comfortable. If you are like me and hate going to the dentist, I highly recommend her and will definitely be seeing her from now on.

I've been a patient at San Dimas Dental Group for several years. The office is clean, in a nice location and the staff is friendly and professional. Julie has been my hygienist for years and always does a great job cleaning my teeth. I love the way my teeth look whiter and the coffee stains gone! I also did Invisalign a few years ago and am pleased with the results. Dr Savani is always friendly and was patient with me during the entire Invisalign process.

I've been a patient at San Dimas Dental Group for over 7 years. My wife has been going here for twice as long. We love this office so much that we don't mind driving about an hour each way for our appointments. All of the staff could not be more professional and friendly. Peggy, the dental hygienist I see for most of my appointments is a wonderful person and always gives me the best care. You always feel like you're in the best hands at San Dimas Dental Group.

Before going to Dr. Bunkers at San Dimas Dental Group, I was very anxious upon visiting a dentist, even for a cleaning. Dr. Bunkers sets the bar high! He's knowledgeable, gentle and does meticulous work. He cares about his patients and it shows. His office is beautiful and staff is professional and friendly! I recommend him to my family and clients!

I have been going to the San Dimas Dental Group since I was a young child. I wouldn't consider visiting any other dental practice. Everyone in the office is so friendly, and it's evident that they truly care about each and every one of their patents. Dr. Savani is absolutely amazing. She makes her patients feel totally comfortable. Dr. Savani always takes the time to throughly inform her patients, and discuss all possible treatment plans in regards to dental health and wellness. Peggy Dochterman is my absolute favorite hygienist!

I make sure to request her each time that I book an appointment. She is professional, kind, and makes me feel at ease. I highly recommend San Dimas Dental Group to anyone who is looking for a high quality dental office. I assure you that they will not disappoint.

There is no one else that I would ever trust with my teeth : Thank you to everyone at San Dimas Dental Group for all you do! -The Walters Family

Dr. John P. Bunkers has been my dentist since the late 1980's when I lived in Diamond Bar and I now live in Long Beach since 1997. Dr. Bunkers is an excellent dentist, up to date on the latest procedures and equipment, professional, gentle, painless and has a good sense of humor. During the years I have been in need of more than one root canal and they were performed by Dr. Goren who is in the same office and equally professional, gentle and painless. Cindy the receptionist and Diane the insurance professional have been there since my first visit which speaks volumes regarding the family feel of the office. The entire office staff, technicians, Hygienists, Doctors are Excellent, well worth the 90 mile round trip.

I am 34 and have been going to San Dimas Dental Group all my life. Dr. Bunkers always remembers me and asks about my family even though I am only there every 6 months for a cleaning. The hygienists are always friendly and do a great job. The office staff is very helpful on the phone and in person.

Since 1994 my experience with this dental group has been excellent. The staff is always friendly, professional and competent. Peggy has been cleaning my teeth all this time.

Dr. Bunker has been our family dentist provider when he began his practice the first month over thirty years ago. We could not have made a better selection for our family dental care for all these years. We have also recommend Dr. Bunker to many of our friends over the years. His employees are outstanding beginning with the receptionist who greets you to the remainder of the office staff and the dental hygienists.

Joe and I have been coming to San Dimas Dental Group for 20 yrs or better. We would like to compliment how wonderful Julie is. She has been one excellent hygienist. Never have had one problem. Can't say enough about every single person there. Joe will only request Julie for cleaning. She clean my teeth the last time I was in and I see what he is talking about now. Thank you to all the hygienists. Joe and Sylvia Kary

I have been going to this dentist (Dr. Bunkers) for over 30 years. The staff here is excellent, and you are treated with a smile and you feel like they care. Must be a great place to work since the staff seems to stay. I have been with the same hygienist (Peggy) forever, she is perfect. Always upbeat, and efficient, and makes it an easy visit. No one likes going to the dentist, but, this office makes it so easy, it's no big deal! Friendly, knowledgeable, fair pricing, what else do you need?

I cannot add to the 4 and 5 star comments already given, because they are all accurate! I know this because my wife and I have been patients for 20 plus years. Dr. Bunkers besides being an outstanding dentist with impressive credentials, is a friendly and caring human being. The entire office is top-notch including the Office Manager Diane, to the front desk folks, hygienists and all the assistants. Simply said, they are the best - second to none!

Well I have had to change dentists because of constantly being cancelled for teeth cleaning. I personally believe they have to many customers and not able to be responsible to all of their consumers in a timely manner.
