Its been a while since I had seen a dentist. About two and a half years ago I saw a dentist in Sherman Oaks. I was told that I had serious issues with my gums and that i was gonna need surgery. I was obviously upset. I’m young and the thought of loosing my teeth was horrendous. I looked for a specialist and asked around and several dentists referred me to a specialist by the name of Dr. Todd Benia. I thought a dentist was a dentist but now i know that’s not the case. The only thing i expected from my first visit was the same answer that i got before. When i met Dr Todd Benia for the first time not only was he kind, courteous and professional, he actually assured me that he will do his best to make sure he will return my gums to the state of health with non surgical gum treatment. I was reluctant because of what i was told before but he made me feel comfortable enough with his explanation and his great bedside manner. I highly recommend him for anyone that needs or requires gum treatment or dental implants. Been to many dentists over all the years but Dr Todd Benia has been the one that has been truly honest, kind, professional and he delivered the results that he promised. Now I know that I have a great Periodontist, Dr. Todd Benia for life. And I do thank my dentist for referring me.
