A Brilliant Smile

I first crossed paths with Dr. Hanna on New Years day when I cracked a tooth and needed urgent dental work. Although I had interrupted the staffs holiday weekend, I was treated courteously and professionally. Within a couple of hours of calling my appointment was underway.
For the longest time I had an extreme phobia of the dentist and after a couple of appointments with Dr. Hanna these fears slipped away. I’ve been a loyal patient to her practice for several years and always feel welcomed when I walk through her doors. Dr. Hanna has earned my trust and will continue to receive my business as long as I’m in the area.

Went in for a checkup and was very pleased with the services. Dr. T was amazing, friendly, and very attentive to all her customers. Will definitely be coming back!

THIS REVIEW WILL BE GOING TO THE BBB AS WELL!!!
I WISH I COULD GIVE THEM A –5 STARS, 1 STAR IS ABSOLUTELY TOO HIGH OF A SCORE FOR THESE CROOCKS!
I WALK INTO THIS PLACE AND EXPLAIN TO THE «DENTIST» Hannah Toukatili that I have a wisdom and molar tooth that need to be pulled as well as a bone graft. I explained to her that I had just left another dentist of which had given me an exam and price and I that I’d like a second opinion. They wanted me to pay them for x-ray’s of which I’d just paid for at the other place just minutes before. I asked, can’t you use the ones from the dentist I just left? She gives in after a while an says yes, so I call and get the X-​rays and send them to her via email and she says I CANT SEE THESE TO WELL THEY ARE BLURED. So I pay these crooks $ 50 for the exam and $ 50 for X-​rays then while in the X-​ray room the tech has his gloves on but he is touching the walls, machinery outside of the disposable protection film sheets, he’s flipping the switches on the wall outside of the room and them tries to put another X-​ray card in my mouth and that’s where I stopped him. Maaaan you can be touching everything in the room and expect to place your hands in my mouth. YOU ARE SPREADING GERMS!
ANYWAY AFTER THE EXAM DDS HANNAH (dentist) comes into the room after looking at the X-​rays and looks inside my mouth and says, yeah you are going to need a deep cleaning. I ask how much is that? $ 600 plus $ 180 for 1 tooth and something like $ 250 for the others tooth plus bone graph and transplant $ 2500.00. I apply for the credit financing plan and was approved for $ 3300.00 or $ 4300.00 she the says you can get it all done now and smiles. We schedule for surgery to be done next day at 11. I walk in the next day and her assistant says they are preparing your room, could I get you to sign here? I asked what it was that she wanted me to sign, she says oh it’s just explaining what we are going to be doing that’s all. I look closed and it an invoice for $ 4300.00 when she just told me the cost would be $ 2500.00. THEY BASICALLY WANTED TO EAT UP ALL OF THE AVAILABLE FINANCED LIMIT. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER WHEN I SAW ANOTHER PATIENT ARGUING WITH THIS GOLD DIGGING DENTIST!
These people are clearly after 1 thing and that’s YOUR MONEY!!! BEWARE YOU’VE BEEN WARNED. SHE WILL SUCK YOUR POCKETS DRY AND LIE TO YOUR FACE WITHOUT A PROBLEM!!!
THIS PLACE, DOWNEY DENTAL IS 100 TIMES OVER PROFESSIONAL THAN DDS HANNAH AND HER MONEY SUCKING DECEITFUL HEALTH HAZARDISH STAFF! BY THE WAY IF YOU LIKE THE JERRY SPRINGER SHOW PLAYING LOUD ON THE TELEVISION IN FRONT OF YOUR CHILDREN, THIS IS THE SPOT FOR YOU! LOL, REAL CLASSY JOKE SPOT!
The dentist listed below is 100 times better. Just finished the job and they handled their business. NO GAMES GEMICS OR SCHEMES! In and out with a fair price. Ask for DDS, Bolovsky.

Dr Hannah Toukatli helped me change my life by giving me the greatest smile ever !
I really appreciate your service and the staff is very helpful and punctual.
I highly recommend and even the pricing is so competitive for the great service they provide.

I came in out of nowhere. And they were very friendly to me and was able to help me with my need. I had a really bad tooth issue and they got me in that same day to see me. Now I’ll see what they tell me. Update to come to see if I gave it better star or not.

My family has been going to Dr. Hannah for years now, and we love her. Growing up, I never liked the dentist, but she always made my family and I feel comfortable. She always made sure we understood what was going on, and we really appreciated that. I always, always recommend her to friends and family!

Thank you so much Dr. Hannah you are so great, I experience the best service ever, with your great welcoming staff you have. I’m a nervious patient and doctor made me feel great and under control on avoiding me taking any meds. I recommend anyone to come and see doctor hannah, thank you again for taking care of me and my family.

Though I was apprehensive to come to this office, due to the reviews and location, it was definitely worthwhile. Dr. Hannah and her staff made me feel very secure with my decision of coming here. Dr. Hannah was very welcoming and made it clear what work I needed to have done. Not only this, but she has staff that represent the business in the best way possible! If you have any dental work, be sure to stop by this office, truly amazing work.

I’m usually afraid of going in to see the dentist due to past experiences ive had with them, but doctor hanna and her staff really did change that for me. The staff and the dr were very welcoming and the dr especially helped me rid of my fear. She was very kind and comforting. The front desk also was very helpful with helping me find an appt. to fit my busy schedule. definitely recommend coming into this office. great ppl & service. coming again soon for 6 month check up

Terrible service, rude people. And they lied on the phone wasting my time driving over here for an appointment. Don’t waste your time with this place.

My parents went there and spent $ 15,000 out of pocket for a root canal and caps. After less the year the now 3 caps have fallen out! After the first one keep on fallen out and finding out she was using temporary glue we decided to go somewhere else. Not worth the rip off! Don’t waste your money.

My husband went to see Dr. Hanna a few months back, he was approved for the Care Credit card & got some work done, he had to come back today to finish the rest of his deep cleaning & Daisy was trying to charge him an additional $ 1350 for the deep cleaning. He already paid for all his dental work in advance with his Care Credit card. According to Daisy they had no record of him paying, which is ridiculous, how can they have no record of his payment? ?!! $ 1350 for half (he had the top half done during his first appointment) of a deep cleaning is ridiculous! ! And on top of that this lady Daisy is extremely rude! In front of my two kids and I she told my husband, «you’re a big boy you should know what you did and didnt pay for». Needless to say we will never go there again.

Absolutely love doctor Hanna! The office staff is amazing and super helpful and caring. The office is super clean and comfy. I me really glad to have been recommended to come here. Looking forward to more dental work in the future to give me the beautiful smile I’ve always wanted.

The office staff here is horrendously rude. «Jennifer» who answers the phone has hung up on me numerous times regarding this issue. My husband scheduled an appointment here for a root canal. In the beginning something was fishy because they were charging him a lot more than what is in the booklet for coverage. However, he still got the work done and paid. The dentist started the work but mid way said she was unable to finish the work and did not the instruments to do so. She sent him to a specialist where I had to pay for the same service twice. I contacted them regarding a refund to no avail. They told me the amount paid was for X-​Rays and to open his tooth. However those procedures are 100% by my insurance. If you want to be a victim of fraud then by all means go to A Brilliant Smile.

dr hannah is the best. she has been dentist 14 years and you will never meet someone that cares and as good as her. her work is remarkable and even with my jaw being broken before she deals with my condition without hurting me…

After 12 years of not seeing a dentist and dealing with the aches and pains I could not bear it any longer. I was referred to Dr. Hannah and her staff by a co-​worker who also feared visiting the dentist. She ensured me that this dental office was different and her experiences were positive, so I thought it would be worth a shot.
After the first visit with Dr. Hanna, we found a lot of work to be done due to the prolonged visit. 3 ROOT CANALS, 1 TOOTH EXTRACTION (removal) and a DEEP TEETH CLEANING!
This first visit was back in May 2013 and since then I have had all procedures done. As a fearful dental patient I can say with confidence I did NOT feel an ounce of discomfort and minimal soreness following each procedure done! :))
I was pleasantly surprised, especially after not seeing a dentist in so many years! Hanna and her staff were so friendly and made sure that each visit began with a smile and ended with a better smile :)
Thank you Hanna and the Brilliant Smile Dental staff for creating such a comfortable environment and giving me a pain free smile: D

Buyer beware if you want to pay thousands for work you don’t need then this is the place for you. I went in needing some work done. Dr. Hanna told me I needed 4,500.00 worth of work done. The girl in the office told me if I paid cash I could get a good deal. They wanted me to come back the next day with cash. I canceled my appointment and went to another dentist. They told me I didn’t need most of work done that Dr. Hanna wanted to do. The coast of my treatment was 200.00. I would have spent thousands and had tooth pulled and implants teeth put in so they could make a profit. I called A Brilliant Smile and informed them of of my new treatment. But to this day I get post cards and calls to come into the office. So stay away and go to a dentist not used car dealer for dental work!!!

When you have a major toothache on a Sunday, there’s not much you can do. We called 1−800-Dentists and got a referral to this place. We weren’t that thrilled to go there because it was in the ghetto. «They’re going to hack me» my wife says about going to Bellflower.
The only room for improvement I could find was in the time it took for our service. I think there was one doctor on staff, and a bunch of people line up. It took forever. My wife was in incredible pain, and it took a nurse two times to finally get the doctor over to shoot her up. It took a couple of hours to get an X-​ray, shot in the mouth, and a perscription. It was a little excessive.
To their credit, the facility is very nice. Crown moulding in the ghetto? Get-​outta-​here! Flat screen TV in the waiting room, AND at your exam chair? It’s true. That really helps with the wait.
The staff? Totally cool. Helped out so so much! I think they’re one of the best staff’s ever!
I hope we never have another emergency situation where we have to go back, but if we do, we wont be as nervous about going, since it turns out that this place is actually «ghetto fabulous!»
