Skyline Dental

Coming here for about 2 years now and I’ve had a ton of work completed here. Very happy with Dr. Chen and staff. Entire family is now under Dr. Chen’s care.

This clinic is great. Clean and cozy. Dr. Chen is awesome. I cracked my tooth while eating a Fritos at work and was freaking out. One, my own dentist (who lives pretty far from me) was on vacation and I needed to get this tooth fixed. I went to my friend’s wife’s clinic (who is a pediatric dentist) thinking she may help me out. When she told me that I needed a root canal, I was pretty bummed. Since she doesn’t have the tools to do it, she recommended me to Dr. Chen.
Dr. Chen did a FANTASTIC job. He was able to save my tooth (it was in the verge of despair) and the root canal was PAINLESS. I was so impressed! I had a root canal before and I remember how uncomfortable it was :(but Dr Chen’s techniques were great. Not only that, his digital xrays were so cool (high tech, yo!)
Despite I had to comeback twice to get my crown fitted, each visit was quick. He was very detailed and gentle. Super friendly.
Another thing, I have no dental insurance. Yet my root canal and crown (that matches my teeth color) was really reasonable. Love it.
Thank you Dr Chen! See ya for my cleanings :) thanks to his dental assistant and Leticia (front desk!) too!

My wife and I have gone to Dr. Chen for prophylaxis several times. He has always been through and efficient. The office is state of the art including the latest tools of the trade. I’ve been going to dentists for 50 years and have seen the evolution of equipment, and this is the best. Dr. Chen takes time to explain what he’s doing. Scheduling is very accommodating. We’ve called last minute a couple of times and Dr. Chen was able to fit us in. He takes all dental insurance too. It is a distance to go here, but for us it’s worth it.

Dr. Chen is awesome!
The following are what I have done in Skyline Dental:
2 implants.
2 root canals.
3 wisdom teeth pulled.
Couple fillings.
The best part is none of it hurt. No screaming and no more tears.
Pros:
Nice staffs
Clean office
Honest and friendly doctor
Reasonable price
Cons:
AC too cold. Bring a jacket or sweater while waiting at lobby.
Wait time too long. It took 20 mins till my turn.
Overall:
Dr. Chen totally fix my teeth and no problem at all so far. Highly recommended.

Being a physician myself, it was definitely very difficult to pick a primary care or a primary dentist. I tend to get to OCD and over analytical when it comes to picking my own physician. But my decision to go with Dr. Chen at skyline dental was one of the best healthcare decision I’ve made.
First of all, his facility is clean and State of art. Working in the hospital every day, I pay special attention to detail especially when it comes to personal clinics.
My wife is especially afraid of dentist, and the fact that she can go through the entire filling, cleaning, and local anesthesia without any anxiety says a lot about Dr. Chen’s skill.
Finally, the schedule is very accommodating. I literally called last minute and they were able to get us in within a week.
I will continue to use him as my primary dentist. And I highly recommend him to the community of Walnut.

I had two teeth crowns made here several years ago. I started feeling funny with those crowns recently and I needed to do something immediately due to the pain. It happens that their advertisement was sent to my home this weekend so I called in to make an appointment. Until this morning I realized that it was the same dentist that I had my teeth wrongly taken cared a few years ago, then, I decided I am not going to this dental office. I could only give one star for the negative experience I had before and the star is for the courteous staff at the counter, not for the clinical treatment.
The disappointment was tremendous because there was only one crown actually needed. I have another tooth that only needed a filling, but this doctor took both teeth out and made two new crowns without clearly telling me what’s going on. Unfortunately this mistake is irreversible. Not only I felt regrettable after the fact; more worse things happened after, the color of the crown was fading… they are so obviously different from the neighboring teeth, I started feeling the loose and uncomfortable sense around those teeth. I felt weird and I had to lick my teeth crowns to remove something. The unpleasant feeling has bothered me for a long while. …
I need to find a dentist to fix my pain but definitely not the one who caused the problem. Sad…

LOVE this dentist I am deathly afraid of going but finally did and the office is beautiful, wait time was about 5 minutes, the assistant was the nicest most caring young lady I was very comfortable in this state of the art office The dentist explained everything is very knowledgeable and professional I would highly recommend Dr. Chen

let me start off by saying that i don’t live that close to here so for me to make a drive out it must be saying something.
positives
1. friendly staff. engaging. able to ask questions and get your questions answered.
2. upfront with what they are doing and ask your permission to do it. I hate shady places where they do work and then highly recommend and try to ‘convince’ you to do it. no shady biz here.
3. comprehensive and communicative. I am not a dentist. I don’t understand terms. etc. so having the dr. explain what’s going on; shows me pictures; this is helpful.
4. clean. enough said.
5. gets the job done in a good amount of time. I’ve been to dentist where the xrays, cleaning, etc take 2 – 3 hours. (no Bueno). this staff gets the job done well but in a reasonable amount of of time.
6. caring: you can tell that people here really care about you and your teeth. they check in to make sure you’re okay and listen to your concerns.
do I recommend this place? with a resounding yes!

Went office visit for teeth cleaning, end up getting sales pitch consultation without teeth cleaning, had to make appointment next time. Has top full coverage dental insurance, still quoting me outrageous procedures need to be done and pay.
Stay away from money driven dentist, not putting your best interest at heart.

I’ve had pain with my back tooth for awhile but was reluctant to see the dentist. Well, lucky me woke up this morning with a horrible toothache, so bad I’ve had to see the dentist. I called this morning and they were able to fit me in with a same day appointment. My previous dentist recommended to perform root canal and crown and the estimated bill came out to be $ 2k. I didn’t have insurance and couldn’t afford to spend that much on a single tooth. Dr. Chen informed me the problem was wisdom tooth and just needed to be pulled out. He removed the tooth under 5 mins and I was biting on the gauze on my way out.
Glad that I got to see the pic of my wisdom teeth (even though the condition was much worse than I thought… lol). But Dr. Chen was very thorough in his explanation, wished he had talked less though, since I was in a lot of pain and just wanted to be over. I appreciated him to take the time to explain the condition of my tooth, made me feel better knowing what the problem was rather than just being told what needed to be done and the pricing.
I would highly recommend to check him out for yourself if you need wisdom teeth pulled out, it was fast and I didn’t feel anything… nobody likes going to the dentist, but as far as dentists goes this office gets top marks.

This guy needs 2 or 3 exams to find out whats wrong with your teeth. After every visit, I complain about pain and sensitivity in different areas and then he recommends a fix. I went to a different dentist and told me that this guy missed couple cavities… Seems like a smart guy but dont think hes much of a dentist. Not cheap either. What they quote you is what you have to pay. No exception on how much work you are getting done or if you are paying cash
No discount here.

First time visiting this dentist place and was very pleased by their service :). Awesome staff! Dr. Chen is very thorough on doing his assessment, addresses all your questions/​concerns nicely. Highly recommended! :)

I really like Dr. CHEN. He is very honest and he listens to my concerns. Great doctor..

Past experience has conditioned me to be pretty particular about who I let near my mouth, but I’m glad my mom dragged me in to make an appointment after more than a year of not having seen a dentist (luckily, no cavities: D YAY).
I saw these guys 4 times in 2 weeks, so I got a pretty good feel for the environment. The office itself is modern, yet comfortable, and very clean (tons of magazines and comfy couches and chairs). Sarah, at the front desk, is super friendly and helpful. Devin, the dental assistant, is also great and was very patient with me and my endless fount of questions. And Dr. Chen is very personable, while maintaining professionalism. He explained everything he was doing and I didn’t feel pressured into getting anything I didn’t need.
I continue to be surprised by the wonderful stores and personalities that exist within this little strip mall that I’ve lived by forever. I’m sad that work is moving me away from the gems that I’ve discovered here (Clearwater Bagel review coming soon), but I’d happily make the 500 mile trip down for my annual cleaning :]

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, clean office, professional, and all around GREAT :)
I’ve always been scared of going to the dentist ever since a very traumatic experience I had when I was young and it pretty much scarred me for life. Any time I would go to a dentist whether it’d be here in LA or in Taiwan, I would always get the shivers. But thanks for Dr. Chen, I ALWAYS have a pleasant experience here! I’ve been here for my teeth cleaning, cavities, and my mouth guard.
Experience —
[x] Teeth cleaning — Very gentle and he doesn’t use a lot of pressure. Takes about 30 mins? Not bad!
[x] Cavities — PAIN FREE! Of course, I do ask for the numbing shot because I’m a scaredy cat, but when Dr. Chen gives me the shot, I can’t feel ANYTHING. No pain when the needle is poking into my gum (that’s the part that I’m most afraid of and Dr. Chen has helped me overcome that!) And the entire process is very smooth and easy.
*** After every visit, they give you a little goodie bag with toothbrush, floss, and toothpaste!
I definitely highly recommend this place! A+!

due to my terrible experience from a previous dentist, i made many many and i mean MANY different stops at many different dentist before i finally decided Dr. Chen was it for me. I am not sure what it was, perhaps the fact that he seemed very through about checking my whole mouth or just the sheer fact that i just felt.comfortable.
Initially it was a bit frustrating from going back and forth all the time, but thank goodness i lived reasonably close or Dr. Chen would of had hell to pay. Don’t get me wrong there were moments of annoyance or frustration. I mean I am pulling a lot out of my pocket so I expect the job to be done with professionalism and detailed. There were a couple of times where i felt that he could of had made sure with me before he done certain things so I didn’t have to keep driving back to the office.
Even with what was said and done the end result was great… thus far!
I also gotta commend him for somehow pulling me back whenever I am upset about something and making me feel relaxed and that he was on my side and he was going to do whatever it took to make me happy.
Note: Bring your jackets and wear warm clothing the office does get ridiculously cold!

More than 2 years ago I went in there for a cleaning service. After the X-​ray and brief examination I was told by the doctor that I needed a dental implant.
Same with some other reviewers here, I was lured in because of the good reviews on Unilocal,but it turns out all they want is you to spend lots of money.
After the cleaning I was brought to a private office and the so called manager tried to push and sell me on the implant. Felt like I was at a used car dealership and being forced to buy. I hated the feeling and was really surprised about it.
I declined the implant and went somewhere else to get 2^nd opinion, and the doctor over there thought my tooth was fine. No implant needed. He said my tooth definitely didn’t need to be pulled to get an implant.
On the side note, the doctor who did my cleaning was inexperienced. His hands were shaking when he was performing the procedures. And he couldn’t even explain the procedure very well in English too.
Anyways I will not be going back ever again. Very unprofessional.

Best dentist I ever had. I can trust his judgement and feel safe to know he is not trying to make me do more dental work then I need to. Once you become his patient you’ll never want to try another dentist.
The facility is clean and equipped with new technology. I like that they use digital X-​ray and cameras to show you on the TV your teeth. He patiently explains the problem and shows you what he is talking about.
Dr. Harvey is probably the only dentist that tells me you don’t need it. Most dentist will try to switch my amalgam fillings for white composites, but he told me there isn’t any reason to except for cosmetic reasons. In fact, amalgam last longer.
Highly recommend him.

My dental insurance has been very inconsistent in the last 10 years. The last time I saw a dentist was 4 years ago, and he suggested that I pull my wisdom tooth and his dental hygienist conducted the cleaning. I came to Skyline Dental expecting the same thing, however this was not the case.
Dr. Chen very honest and upfront about everything and explained my insurance coverage in relation to the work that I needed. He told me that I would never have to worry about my wisdom tooth, took photos of my cavity and other teeth that needed attention, conducted the cleaning, and patched up the cavity. I appreciate that he didn’t do an exam and pass me down to the hygienist to do the work.
His staff is also very nice and the office was clean. I’m going back in 6 months and actually looking forward to seeing the dentist again!

Came here for my six month check-​up.
Been trying-​out other dentists since ours retired a number of years ago. Three basic things for me: excellent dentist and hygienist, clear billing, clean place/​office. They meet and exceed each crieria!
This just might be our new dentist!
PS. There’s a number of dentists on the corner of Amar and Grand. Skyline is in the Stater Brother’s complex.
