David Shabanzadeh, DDS

This review is long overdue. I have had many teeth problems from wisdom issues, cavities, new fillings and need of crowns. I wanted all this done before my wedding last year and dr. David put me on a great plan to get everything done as desired. He has a warm heart and understood my anxiety when it came to seeng a dentist. He is very gentle and made sure I’m never in any discomfort or pain. He walked me through every step and what to expect. He even gave me advise on How to control this fear. I still do fear the chair even during cleaning but I always know I’m in good hands. He works with my insurance to make sure I’m covered for all the work so I don’t pay him. He really cares about his patients more than profit I think. I believe he specializes in children which makes him very gentle. I drive from the valley just to see him and he works with my schedule because he’ll open his office just to see me on a Saturday. Not many doctors would do that.

Dr. David, is amazing, I live in Beverly Hills but I still drive to West Hollywood to go to him. He has been my dentist since I was 8 years old and I like how he is very professional, affordable, and honest. The office is great, very inviting and he takes his time to explain the procedure in detail and makes sure you understand what is going to happen to your teeth. I used to ask questions for about 15 mins every time I went and he was always extremely friendly and patiently answered all of my questions .I am very happy with his caring and gentle service. He is very funny and he makes you feel at ease, even the children who are always scared of dentists.

Dr. «Dave» screwed up my mouth. He was my dentist several years ago and I’m writing this review because I’m still having problems as a result of Dr. Dave’s work.
First of all, just about every other time I went in for a cleaning, Dr. Dave told me I needed a root canal. I’ve never needed a root canal before Dr. Dave, but I trusted his opinion. It seems strange that I needed three root canals in a row though. On the third and final root canal, Dave broke the drill off inside my tooth. He said it would not be a problem to leave the broken piece in there as it would act like a post. So he buried it in there. A few months later the area was infected and swollen. Dr. Dave said that it was «part of the healing process.» Eventually I ended up losing that tooth. I got my money back from Dave, but he never admitted doing wrong or apologized.
It’s been 6 years since I’ve been to Dave’s and I’ve never needed another root canal. I will never know if all the surgeries Dave performed were even necessary, but I have my doubts. I’ve have good, strong teeth my whole life. Except now I have an implant because of Dave’s work. The gums around it need special maintenance or they get infected, which is the case now.
On top of Dave’s low integrity and poor mastery in this work was his attitude. I think he suffers from severe depression and is possibly suicidal. He would constantly tell me about his jealousy of others whom were more successful than he and his desire for wealth and money. In fact, the very time he destroyed my tooth he was just telling me how terrible he felt moments prior to beginning the surgery.
I’m sorry to have ever had Dave as a dentist and even sorrier for staying with him so long. This guys will do anything to your face for money. If he every recommends a surgery, get a second opinion.

He is a great dentist, who cares about you and your family. He is extremely thorough with your medical needs and keep contact with your primary doctor. Hes a beautiful person with a beautiful spirit! Please consider him to be your dentist.
