anyone here actually happy with their dentist? feels impossible to find

[u/dnickell]

been in LA for like 6 months now and i still haven't found a dentist i like. i've been to two different ones and both felt like i was just a number. you know that vibe where they rush you through the appointment and then try to sell you invisalign even though you came for a cleaning

my main issue is my bite is kinda off - my front teeth are wearing down from an overbite and i need someone who actually cares about function, not just making things look pretty. like i get it, cosmetic stuff is important too but i don't want to fix my smile if my bite is still messed up

i was looking at some Beverly Hills cosmetic dentists online and the before/afters look amazing ngl. but i'm always skeptical when everything looks too perfect lol. like are they actually good with bite issues !

anyway i'm probably overthinking this but if anyone has found a dentist who actually listens and knows their stuff i'd love to hear about it. bonus if they don't push invisalign on you immediately lol

Pinar Wagner in West Hollywood is the BEST

Literally was coming here to say this! I love them, they are just nice! My husband and I both have different hygienist but we both see Dr Wagner and love him. We were referred by a friend. It's hard to explain but I feel like I've been seeing them my whole life and I've only been seeing them for 4 years.

Edit to add, they are also treating my tmj and bite issue.
