Testimonials for Agaki Dentistry
This is THE place to get your teeth whitened in Los Angeles. I had never even considered paying for professional whitening until I saw the L.A. Weekly ad for Zoom Whitening for less than half the going rate. As trite as this sounds, now I'm smiling like a movie star too! And I don't need to waste my time and money on all those store-bought whitestrips ever again! The doctor and his staff couldn't be nicer, and the facilities couldn't be cleaner, and my teeth are still whiter-than-average over a year later. There is no other place I could possibly recommend for a teeth whitening in Los Angeles.

My visit to Dr.Meir's office gave me a reason to not only come back but to refer my friends and family as well. His honesty, patience and level of care distinguishes him from other dentists in LA. Unfortunate as it might sound, many dentists in LA perform unnecessary treatments. Dr.Meir is NOT one of those dentists. His trustworthiness makes him a dentist different from the above mentioned ones. I went to a dentist who recommended replacement of my old fillings. A friend suggested Dr.Meir whom I visited as a second opinion. He was honest. He told me that my old silver fillings were strong and that they would last for many more years. I'm fortunate to have received a second opinion from Dr.Meir! He prevented unnecessary pain, costs and saved me time from my busy schedule. Dr.Meir is down to earth. Before, during and after any treatment you feel comfortable asking questions. He makes sure you understand whats going on. He is very caring. Due to my sensitivity, he cleaned my teeth by HAND (takes more time), as oppose to using power tools (faster) which would have elicited more pain. With respect to my positive experiences, I would recommend Dr.Meir to anyone looking to find a kind, caring, honest and patient dentist. You will probably save money upon visiting him as well.

Growing up in Nebraska, our family had the greatest, most competent dentist a person could ever ask for. He was kind and professional, and he even became a family friend. I never thought I would find anyone even close to that guy as an adult living out in Los Angeles, but Dr. Agaki is as close as I've ever found. I've had problems with my #9 (front) tooth since I was 11 years old. I'm 49 now. I saw his ad in the LA Weekly for an implant costing $599 and the porcelain $599. Couldn't believe it since everyone else was giving me $3,000 to $3,500.00 estimates. It's no BS. The implant itself cost me $599, and the eventual porcelain 3 months later cost me the same. As a matter of fact, during the implant procedure, the crown next to the front tooth accidentally broke (I know he felt terrible!), and he replaced it for FREE. It was a brand new crown not more than 3-4 months old, and indeed he did replace it at no cost, as he should. I also received a ZOOM laser whitening procedure from him at the remarkably low price of $150.00. NO ONE charges that. I've read some of the negative reviews here, and yes, he may not be the most gregarious or talkative of guys, but who wants a dentist who jabbers away all day while he's working on your teeth. I like that he's a quiet, humble man who does his job, does it well, and REALLY KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING. I 100% recommend Dr. Agaki for yours or your family's dental needs. A real find. He's my new regular dentist.
I went to see Dr. Meir after I was battling a major tooth and gum infection. Initially I went to see another doctor who recommended removing the infected teeth and doing some invasive procedure over the gums and surrounding roots. I was really worried. It is than that I asked my friend for a dentist and she recommended her dentist, Dr. Meir. When I went to see the doctor I expected my tooth to be removed. Dr. Meir was very kind and listen to all my concerned and reassured me that my tooth in fact could be saved. I have a very sensitive mouth, and Dr. Meir was very patient in treating me and making sure I was not in any discomfort. The treatment took two sessions and some medication as well, but my mouth, gums and teeth are healthier than ever. He also explained me in great details what I have done wrong before in maintaining my gums in a healthy condition and what I should do from now on. I now follow his advise and glad I do so and that I went to see him. Dr. Meir did not just saved my gums and teeth from what appeared to be a doomed situation, but also thought me how to take care of my gums from now on so I don't incur such health circumstanced in the future. Dr. Meir was very carrying and sensitive in his treatment and I appreciated that. The least I could do is say Thank You here Dr. Meir for giving me a healthy smile back : )

I went here on recommendation to price crowns- cosmetic basically.They were very nice and do have price specials.They can show you by computer what it will look like when you get crowms, implants etc. It was kinda expensive so I basically couldnt get my cosmetic dentistry work. They were honest and very nice and the office is totally clean and on the newer side. They do do root canals and general dental surgery, allthough I didnt get my teeth done there my freind did and he loved them. Last year I did get a basic cleaning and it was fine.

After hearing a glowing report from a dear friend, I went to him with some trepidation because of past dental disasters. I had a large gap between my front tooth and its neighboring tooth. Several other dentists had worked on it with terrible results. Because of that, I was very embarrassed about my smile, and felt that it would be impossible to correct. Dr. Meir Agaki not only took care of my problem, but I have a beautiful smile again, and I'm thrilled. He was very gentle, and did the work quickly and efficiently. People have told me that I look much younger, but they can't pinpoint why. I am convinced that it is due to my new smile along with how good I feel about myself. I highly recommend him!
