Incredible results in cosmetics I just had my veneers done, redone that is after a “celebrity” dentist made them just a month ago. When I met my friend Iris, I asked her “Wow your smile is beautiful, who is your dentist” and her answer was Dr. Goodman in Beverly Hills. When I met him for my first appointment, he was very busy yet spent about 20 min with me. He explained how he would make my teeth look different from what I had. He was very respectful towards the other dentist and did not critique his work at all. Contrary, he actually asked me to keep them because they may “grow on me”, like I would get used to them. But I already had made up my mind. He showed me actual veneer cases from his patients, that he was supposed to deliver that afternoon, and I really liked his approach to dentistry. I asked a lot of questions and he was very patient until about 20 minutes into the consult, he then was getting short and asked me to think about it. I realized he was busy and I could not expect more from a “free consultation”. So his secretary came in, very classy and professionally and gave me the treatment details and cost. To my surprise, it was less than I had paid just one month before, even at their highest “tier”, as she explained it. Different labs have different levels of detail. Fast forward. I came back, it took about 2 weeks and my veneers were delivered and they are gorgeous from the tip to the bottom part. I cannot have been more exited about my (second) choice, Dr. Joseph Goodman, lol.

I now use Dr. Goodman for all my routine check ups and hygiene appointments.

Dr. Goodman, you are my hero!

the best porcelain veneers. I usually don't like to review anyone, but this time I am blown away. Here is my story: So I had veneers my whole life due to an accident. They last about 5 years because I am never happy with them. All the dentists who did them very always nice and sweet but in the end, the result was always ok. I never knew what is missing so I accepted my "next 5 year look". So then a friend recommended I visit this office: He was well prepared since I told the staff in advance I was interested in a veneer consultation. So he was showing me some pictures and explaining me all the details about how to make them natural looking, with translucency and so on but he was the only one who pointed out that my last veneers were to square and needed to be shaped more feminine. Then he told me that my gum level is uneven and recommended to laser my gum, so they look even. My teeth always looked different in size because the gum was uneven in height after he accident. So agreed to change the design to his vision and just told him, make sure nobody can tell I have anything else but my own teeth. Fast Forward. On the seat day I was presented with these veneers on a tray and from the beginning I could tell they were done differently: thinner, more delicate, more detail and just amazingly real looking. To make a long story short, when I visited my parents the following week-end, they immediately noticed that these veneers had much more detail and character. We absolutely love them and now even my parents are considering getting veneers done. How funny would that be?…

Insurance does not pay for that kind of service but the results are dramatic and worth any money.

Thank you and the entire staff for making me feel comfortable and good about myself again.

Great experience and great office. What to write about my favorite dental office : passionate and caring, knowledgeable and detail oriented. Got my veneers and crowns done and did quite some research about all choices before I went. My old ones were over 10 years old and I needed a little help to rejuvenate them.

Love them. Look great and feel very natural. In the beginning I experienced some sensitivity on chewing but I was told to wait 2 days so things can settle down a bit, and so it was. I could not been happier to get my veneers done and if you need just a good cleaning, the hygienist is superb.

My only disappointment was that my insurance did not cover the veneers. only the one crown. I have a insurance which has a limit of $ 1500 per year. I was told I can use the insurance towards my night guard, my filings and exam and x rays. not the veneers. Sorry. But if I needed them to get redone again in 15 years , then they will pay for the replacement.. go figure.

Healthy Teeth!. I have been going to Dr. Goodman for about 4 months and have been in his office a lot in that short time for various procedures from bonding to fillings to cleaning. The staff is super nice and attentive. Erica at the front reception is such a sweetheart and is very helpful. Dr. Goodman and his assistants always provide me with a great experience which is a tough thing to say when it comes to dentistry with it's drilling, scraping, filing, etc. My teeth are healthy and oooooh so pretty!!!

Wonderful Experience!. I have always hated going to the dentist, until Dr Goodman. The office is modern, filled with natural light. The staff is friendly and they never keep me waiting. The work was done extreamly well and I did not experience pain (the main reason I don't like going). I would def recommend Dr Goodman to anyone seeking superior dental care.

Good Dentistry. Found this office by luck, my insurance gave me a list and I choose them. Nice services and facilities. The doctors make an effort to get to know you personally the first time, which I do appreciate, but I was simply in a rush. No time to talk too much. Did not have much done. He complimented me on my good ?genes?. That was a first time anybody told me I had good genes. He was very meticulous in explaining how to floss and how to brush to avoid future gum recession. Good experience. Good Staff. new equipments. Insurances su.., there is always a little co payment,

Full mouth rehabilitation successfully finished.. I have been going to this dentist for years, I guess I was wan of his first patients when he started in Brentwood.

I had my entire mouth redone, I mean everything from Root Canals, implants to all porcelain crowns. All 28 teeth..... at my age, the Doctor always joked that most people don't even have that many teeth at half my age. He is a good listener, very polite and accurate. He insisted to make the extra time to go to the lab and see the preliminary results before they final glaze it. Not one, several times. Several try ins and so on until the final results was presented. I was a bit nervous, I am 65 years old, l don't like injections so I was anxious not having to redo anything . Image coming in from traffic just to be told, we have too see you again, the crowns xz does not fit. To my satisfaction, all 28 crowns fitted. They did not have to be grind down after the seat, minor recounting and they just popped in. The results were nothing short of beautiful. I am very glad its over although looking back it was not too bad, just time consuming and expensive of course.

I take a little offensive when young people (the next review, "Tracy4you")

write BS reviews trashing good dentist's reputation and nobody knows if it is true or not. I have had 28 crowns glued in and not one of them is white,or chalky or looks ugly. Young "Tracy4you" must have a temporary not knowing she is supposed to go back to get the real crown cemented?



Only "Tracy4you" knows, but young Tracy if you read this, communicate with your dentist rather then blaming him . I know how many times I was shown the crowns before they got glued in finally on a model and in my mouth. Just doesn't make sense to say they look bad when they are always presented to clients before they are glued in ?!

In any case, my experience was very good and I will going back for my cleanings
