Western Dental & Orthodontics

Western Dental & Orthodontics aims to provide accessible and affordable dental care. Their office offers a range of services, including orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, and emergency care, all under one roof. Patients can receive treatment for implants, braces, and periodontal care in the same location. The practice welcomes patients of all ages, including young children, and offers flexibility with evening and weekend appointments. They also accept various dental plans, including Denti-Cal (Medi-Cal Dental) and provide free exams and x-rays for new patients. While patients generally commend the cleanliness of the office and the friendly professionalism of the staff, a recurring concern is the extended waiting times. Appointments often involve waiting periods of 20 to 30 minutes before being called back, and then another 20 to 30 minutes or more before being seen by a dentist. This has led to frustration for some patients who have limited time due to work or other commitments. There have also been instances of communication issues, such as appointment scheduling errors and a lack of notification regarding cancelled appointments.
