I would like to comment on the outstanding attention I received at Dental Healing, due in large part to the proficiency of Dr Jason Monempour. After I cracked part of a tooth that exposed an amalgam filling, I did an internet search for a dentist that displayed an awareness of the exposure of amalgam and the gravity of consequent removal of fillings. Although the philosophy of holistic dentistry is generally the same among such dentists, it was the SMART certifications, IAOMT accreditation, addi...read moretional trainings, continuous research, elimination of toxins (i.e. fluoride, metals, bpa), green office environment, and 5star reviews, indicated on the website, that were the determining factors in my decision to seek treatment at Dental Healing. Dr. Yokoyama is the visionary of Dental Healing and the implementation of a practice that demonstrates a consciousness of oral health with a correlation to overall well-being. The team at Dental Healing function with a goal to produce optimum results and a positive dental experience for the patient -- Michelle that does everything, Kayla the manager, Barbara and Brenda at the front desk, Martha and Leah – dental assisting, Norina --hygienist. Dental Healing functions as an out- of-network operation and fees differ from standard dental practices but the precautions taken and techniques utilized are substantial. However, what distinguishes Dental Healing is the warmly personal and highly professional dentistry I received from Dr Monempour and I felt compelled to acknowledge his exemplary manner and skill. I, in effect, was given an emergency appointment with colleague, DDS Jason Monempour. Upon meeting, Dr Monempour created a striking impression. Dr Monempour greeted me and introduced himself before any work began; he expounded on his approach to dentistry and the relationship he strives to establish with his patients. In effect, Dr Monempour created an atmosphere of ease, comfort, and relaxation (and to those with some apprehensions or forebodings, his understanding serves as an ally to diminish patient fears and make him more relatable). Dr. Monempour listens, welcomes every question, and explains processes with the objective of creating an informed patient. Although Dr. Monempour is the conduit of biocompatible or non-toxic dentistry, it is through information, education, and active patient participation that oral health is maintained. Dr Monempour is genuine, kind, considerate, and caring. Dr Monempour is meticulous in his practice and expert at his art. Upon administering the local anesthetic, I, honestly, did not feel any discomfort ( which is a deal breaker for me). I received an oral examination that was the most comprehensive dental assessment that I have ever experienced; Dr Monempour conducted a thorough visual and tactile evaluation accompanied by a specific checklist to determine an oral diagnosis.Dr Monempour’s integrity, high ethical standards, and use of excellent quality products is a reflection of the commitment he [Dr Monempour] makes to himself and every patient as he endeavors to provide a superior dental experience. Dr Monempour gives his utmost and I have such high regards for him; Dr Monempour is truly and sincerely the best dentist I have ever been to. read less

Doctor Y is my kind of human being. Even though his office was closed he came in to handle my emergency. He is kind spends a lot of time explaining and most of all I trust him. I know he will help me make the healthiest choice.

If you're looking for a good holistic dentist, Dr. Yokoyama is probably the guy. If you're looking for a good holistic dentist who will patiently and thoroughly discuss options for your teeth, Dr. Yokoyama is definitely the guy.When I first called his office, I was told that Dr. Y. wasn't taking new patients, that it would be two months before I could get in. Once I did get in, I found out why this was.Dr. Yokoyama greets you like you're an old friend. His is a very busy practice, but his whole ...read moreposture is one of calm and reassurance. He *strolls* between treatment rooms. And the work he does is stunning. I hardly recognize myself now when I grin at the mirror. I was also pretty jazzed when he told me that five teeth the previous dentist had scheduled for treatment didn't need it (he said this even after I told him about my old treatment plan and had him double-check those teeth)!This last year has been a difficult one for me, and I'm a pathetic coward anyway when it comes to having my teeth worked on. Also, I like to think about things and mull over all possibilities (well, okay--I *brood*). I asked for a number of changes in the order of the work outlined on my treatment plan. I asked for tests to be done on my teeth that other dentists had done. I asked many, many questions. Dr. Yokoyama accommodated me with all the above, and he still lets me come back!The dental assistants are solicitous and good at what they do. Leah is such a soothing presence -- I want her in my neighborhood when the Big Earthquake hits because my blood pressure goes right down when she's in the treatment room. The first time Maria cleaned my teeth, I confessed that I was a Total Wimp, so she cracked jokes the whole time she scraped away. When I laughed, she asked, "Are you laughing because I'm funny or because I have sharp instruments in my hands?"This is one of the best organized professional offices I've been in, in L.A. The ladies at the front desk, in spite of being extremely busy, are extremely helpful. They listen intently. If they don't know the answer to something you ask, they find it out and get back to you. Michelle can do around 26 things at the same time without breaking a sweat. She knows everything about Dr. Yokoyama's practice, and the ease with which she navigates the schedule is amazing.If you care about your teeth -- their health and their appearance -- and if you're looking for health care professionals who really care about the quality of the work they do, I think Dental Healing will be a good fit for you. But I'd suggest that you call soon and get your name in, because there are probably already people lined up outside Dr. Yokoyama's door. read less

We are New Yorkers with family in Los Angeles who were already extremely happy, longtime patients of Dr. Yokoyama/Dental Healing. Our visits with him and his staff are always great, and he has been rectifying a number of things for us that others were responsible for years ago. We couldn’t offer a higher recommendation. Indeed, we travel cross country to be in his care!
