Drake Dental - Santa Monica, California

Adriana E.

En mi viaje de novios se me rompió una pieza de la muela, provocando una molestia en mi lengua al comer, hablar.. acudí a la clínica del Dr. Drake, y una trabajadora me comentó que limarme la muela, sólo serían 60$, tan sólo era el pico de la muela. Al día siguiente acudí a la cita, el Dr. estuvo conmigo 3 minutos realizando el trabajo, limando el pico de la muela. al pagar, fue mi sorpresa, 200$! Y ahora cuando vuelva a mi país me la tengo que reconstruir entera. mi opinión es que por ser extranjera, me han timado!!

No recomendable!!!!!

I feel like I have found my people. Just hard working medical professionals doing great work.
My dental hygienist- amazing (ok forgot her name but will update) The Dentist- wow - just a great guy- a knowledgeable dentist - really understood work I already had done and assessed well what my future visits might consist of - but I needed no other dental work other than the great cleaning I received. Office ladies were congenial and again just great people doing good work. Hard to find this kind of normal great office on the Westside.
So happy to have found my dentist. Oh and the 3 D photos of my mouth - really loved that.

I have a master’s degree in organizational development and 20+ yrs in the military with many of them spent helping organizations run more effectively and efficiently. In my 65 yrs of life I’ve never been to a dental practice that was run with this level of efficiency and efficacy. Attention to details is key.

Making the appointment was easy, with the person confirming my insurance coverage on the call. The staff was pleasant and the hygienists were skilled and thorough. The equipment they use is the most modern I’ve seen and provides more visibility into potential issues.

Dr. Drake takes his time. He listened attentively like no other dentist ever has and on my second visit remembered what I told him on my first. He explained things to me in a way that no dentist ever has. I never knew why it took so long for me to get numb. He made allowances for that and was able to conduct the procedures for me in less time.

I can clearly see why this practice has such great reviews. They earn it!

So glad my wife found this practice. She had just gone to them and I was in the middle of a dental nightmare at a different practice. These folks literally took over my care quickly and efficiently and solved my problem by completing the work that the other office just couldn’t seem to finish. They fit me in the schedule, worked with what had already been done and quickly finished replacing a crown. They were welcoming, had a sense of humor and I plan to continue working with Dr. Drake. Bonus, the front desk folks and the doctor’s support staff are super nice and helpful. Happy I landed here.

Excellent care. Dr Drake took time with me to fully explain my results and possible causes for my issues. My hygienist was thorough and had a precise but light touch. Check-in (and out) was a breeze. Happy to have a great dentistry team!

A few friends referred me to Drake Dental after a series of disappointing visits at my other Santa Monica Dentist. I was so blown away by what a nice experience I had. Dr. Drake was wonderful, attentive, and thoroughly answered my questions about treatment. And, for the first time ever I had a pain free cleaning by my hygienist. Sharon was helpful and responsive with scheduling and billing and was friendly -- something that was really lacking at my previous dental office. I had a lovely experience and I'm so glad to have found Dr. Drake & team!

Hands down one of the best dentist I’ve ever gone to. The staff at the front are extremely helpful, the assistants are kind and professional. And Dr. Drake is extremely skilled and knowledgeable in his field. I highly recommend him!
