I went Kawata Dental for tooth cleaning for first time, hygienist Michell was very professional with high standards and thorough work. I have four wisdom teeth she cleaned very well. She is an asset to this office!! Thank you Michelle!!
Donna G.
Very good this was my first time here staff very nice and Michelle was very gentle and kind while cleaning my teeth
Frank L.
Great ! Dr. Ben is now and always has been a great Dentist and a great guy . I was lucky enough to be introduced to Ben and his Dad many decades ago, by my dear and wonderful wife Linda Albertano . My Best to you all . Frank Lutz.,
Cecilia C.
My experience at Kawata Dental has been exceptional. My dental hygienist, Michelle, is very skilled, thorough, and gentle. She easily glides those dental tools on every contour of my teeth as if she's known my teeth for many years. The cleaning is painless. Prior prophylaxis, Michelle exams lymph nodes and mouth tissues. Once completed, Dr. Kawata comes in to inspect the health of all teeth/mouth. Currently, I have ongoing extensive surgery/dental work due to prior MVA trauma and subsequent poor clinical work given by other Dentists. During my emergency concerns Dr. Kawata has communicated with my Surgeon and I to assess the issue and immediately allocates time in his busy schedule to help. Dr. Kawata demonstrates a true dedication to the health of his patients, and he owns excellent clinical skills. I completely trust Dr. Kawata. I am grateful to Dr. Kawata and all his professional staff for providing me and my family a very personal, caring, and unsurpassed dental service! Laura G. & C.C
Michi O.
I’m with Dr Kawata for many years. They are the best 👍
A A.

I’ve been a patient of Kawata Dental since he first opened. Always friendly, professional and caring staff from Dr Ben right down to the front office personnel. I’ve had a crown put on and even had my Invisalign fitted through this office. Dr Ben and his team always takes time to speak to me about anything going on with my dental needs and answers all my questions. Highly recommend Kawata Dental.

desmond O.
I've been going to Kawata Dental for all my dental work since about 2018. I don't even bother researching other dentists although I'm sure many do excellent work. THEY'RE JUST THAT GOOD! That's all there is to say I imagine.
Patty C.
I moved out of L.A. 3 years ago and tried to find dental care as good as Kawata Dental where I've gone to since childhood. After trying a couple dentists in the new town, I had to come back to L.A. to see Dr. Ben and Michelle to get the best dental work in and out of town. When I was a kid, Dr. Ben's dad was my dentist who must have passed down his skills to Ben. Hygienist Michelle is also gentle and meticulous. I highly recommend these folks.
Stephanie K.
Dr Ben Kawata and his staff are the absolute best! My dental hygienist is Michelle and this woman has skills! I get the best cleaning and she is so gentle I barely feel it. Looking for a great dental office? Look no more! Go to Kawata Dental!!

Zoltan S.
5/5. Great practice.
Mose
The people at Kawata Dental are so kind and gentle. I came in for a deep cleaning which I was nervous about because I have been to quite a few different dentists and I always feel quite a bit of acute pain during the process. At Kawata, however, the staff kept asking if I was okay even though they said if I felt anything to let them know. I personally have a bad habit of while being in pain I would rather just deal with it than to burden someone else, but the staff there were able to read my body language when I did feel pain. My experience there has definitely been the least painful I have ever experienced going to a dentist. Will be going here as long as I can!
vicente C.
I could not ask for more. Immaculate facilities, prompt, attentive, competent, caring and kind staff.
Michi O.
Staff were very helpful, respectful and responsive to my needs
Glenn O.
The staff is amazing. I used to be very stressed sitting in a dental chair. I am quite relaxed when visiting this office
Alvin S.
I have been Kawata Dental many times now and the staff has been wonderful, and the dentistry is quite good, showing great concern for me having better teeth and less dental problems. The process has always been excellent, making sure I am always as comfortable as possible. Very thankful and satisfied.
T C.
The 5 stars says it all... Been with kawata dental group a while now...consistently wonderful service. I could get free cleanings through medicare coverage but have opted to pay out of pocket for this superior service...how's that for a complementary review...
Daniel G.

I recently went in to see Dr. Lani Tittle for a filling and an oral cleaning. The filling required anesthetic, she gave me a shot and it was amazing, I didn’t feel any pain during or after the procedure. Dr. Lani is very gentil, she took her time to listen to my needs, I have TMJ and needed to rest my jaws during the process. I highly recommend her as a dentist! 🙌🏼

As someone who is terrified of dentists I've had a great experience and now feel more at ease coming to dentist office having found great care and service at Kawata Dental. I also really loved that here they didn't make me wait, someone was always in attending to me, I've barely had to sit there and anxiously wait for anyone. The fast pace of service is so important. Highly recommend.

Dr. Ben Kawata is an exceptional dentist and i am blessed to have him as my Dentist. Likewise, all of his Staff demonstrate efforts to provide the best service possible. Dr. Kawata listens, attends to every detail, and his skills are superb. No need to look for more when one finds a highly skilled Dentist who does the right thing for his Patients. Thank you Dr. Kawata and Aileen for the most thorough, and informative prophylaxis appointment I ever had!
Leigh H.
Appointment on time. Pleasant environment.
Toby H.
I am fussy and beyond, so except for the unfriendly iron gate in front, I could find no wrong. Clinical areas are updated and very clean and orderly This is reassuring. . Equipment is newer than our previous dentist. I appreciate that furnishings were appropriate, and it does not appear that junky stuff was brought in from home. (The lumpy furniture and table in the waiting area could use a refresh, , but the organization and smooth running of the office and exam room were excellent.
Farid A.
Excellent😀 service........................................................
é- R.
I'm from Japan and I've never been to a dentist outside of Japan. But the staff were very kind and I felt at ease. Before the treatment, they checked my insurance to make sure I didn't have to pay extra, which was very kind of them. I'm planning to go back for a cleaning in six months:)
Margaret C.
My husband and I go to Kawata Dental for our dental care. They are friendly, professional and very thorough. Recently went for teeth cleaning and found teeth that needed attention! Highly recommend Dr. Kawata and his staff.

Dr. Ben Okimoto was awesome. He pulled my molar with very little discomfort and he even called at the end of the day to check on me, if I was doing okay, I love that client service. He is also very easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable about the procedure.

We are so fortunate to have Kawata Dental to take care of our Dental issues. My dad started going there back in 1990 and the whole family followed. Just went in for a teeth cleaning and x-rays.

I have been going to Kawata dental for a long time and I have no issues with the office . It’s is actually a great place. Covid policies changed but it is always and has been been a very accommodating and friendly office. BlI have been going there for many years. But, I like the tech at pearl street dental. In October I will be going there for the dental work and all the doctors are professional and great. I do not have an issue. The other tech I think was more confident the one that left the job. The one with the daughter.
Herley J.

Been going to Dr. Kawata for years. He’s very professional and his staff are all friendly. His hygienists always do a great job cleaning my teeth, and Dr Kawata himself took care of issues like buffing out some stains and filling a couple cavities. Never any complications with this group.

Herb W.
Dr. Ben Kawata is, in my opinion, one of the very best dental professionals in the Greater Los Angeles area. In fact, I come from Las Vegas to take advantage of his excellent service. Even the professionals who provide teeth cleaning service are so caring and thorough, it’s really hard to imagine any dental practice that could be better. Try Kawata….you’ll be happy that you did!!
Cathy Q.
One of the best dental place in west LA. Doctor Kawata is a great dentist! My teeth is sensitive and they always take good care of it.
Sandy S.
I had two teeth fixed today. A chipped tooth with an old filling needed to be removed because decay had begun underneath and a cavity on the side of a tooth with a crown. Dr. Ben and his assistant work flawlessly in tandem. Amazing to sit back and watch their hands work like professional musicians in an orchestra. Perfect harmony, no note out of tune, Amazing!!!
Daphne
Highly recommended. Drs and staffs are caring, they take time to listen to your concerns and work with you.
Karen N.
As always, great service.
Christine K.
I had the best experience starting with the most efficient receptionist, the gentlest hygienist and finally knowledgeable and conservative dentist himself. Added bonus, they have small but own free parking in front.
Anne B.
As I entered the facility I felt well protected from exposure to any virus. I also was aware of a professional approach including promptness and gentle thorough care. I was cautioned about potential problem areas and instructed in improving interim care by myself. I would recommend the practice.

Maya W.
If you are looking for a dentist that is reliable, trustworthy, gives great care at affordable rates, this is the place! I'm very thankful that my bodyworker recommended me to Dr. Ben Kawata! Also this is one of the few dental practices in LA that still takes Covid seriously. They have many precautions in place, including special air filtration systems to reduce the risk of transmission of Covid or other airborn pathogens. I haven't had much luck with dentists in this country prior to meeting Dr. Kawata! He's been a god send! Thank you so much Dr.Kawata and the wonderful staff that works here! I soo appreciate all of you! Thank you for everything you all do!

I had two teeth fixed today. A chipped tooth with an old filling needed to be removed because decay had begun underneath and a cavity on the side of a tooth with a crown. Dr. Ben and his assistant work flawlessly in tandem. Amazing to sit back and watch their hands work like professional musicians in an orchestra. Perfect harmony, no note out of tune, Amazing!!!

Michelle is the best hygienist! I've been a patient of Dr. Ben Kawata for many many years and all his staff are super awesome and friendly.
Elaine M.
Have been going to Dr Kawata for years. We tried a different dentist 4 years ago because we moved from the Westside to Torrance and we realized just how special Dr. Kawata is. So we came back and make the longer drive between Torrance and West L.A. for any dental work.

Alisa worked on my cleaning. She was gentle and cared about my most sensitive area to clean so not to minimize any pain while cleaning. She also taught me how to care about my teeth and instructed me as to how to clean. I recommend this clinic to anyone.

Dr. Ben Kawata, his practice group and his staff are kind, patient, respectful and practice the Golden Rule (ie, “Do unto others as you would want others to do unto you.”). Our family has been going to his practice for quite a few years and their treatment of their patients/clientele has only improved through the years.

From making an appointment through the actual dental purpose for my visit, I have felt comfortable and extremely well taken care of. This is an old family practice which I have been visiting for more than 20 years and would never consider leaving! If they can take you, do it. You are sure to be happy with your welcome and results!!

Kawata Dental has provided my dental care for years, and their predecessor before that. The staff are skilled, caring, and each one an interesting person. My husband and I have always enjoyed our chats with the hygienists. The office has been beautifully redecorated.

We have had excellent experiences at Always Dental for years. We are completely confident with their front desk staff, hygienists, and dentists. The interior decorations have been intriguing over the years - so fun to be introduced to new art.

I’m new to this practice and can already tell this is going to be a long relationship. The office staff is friendly and helpful when making appointments and checking out. The hygienist was very thorough and friendly without asking too many questions, which sometimes happens. As everyone knows, it’s difficult to answer questions when your teeth are being cleaned. The dr. Checked the X-rays and made recommendations for future services needed without pushing cosmetic dentistry. Parking is available in front of their building, which is often hard to find in the west side of Los Angeles.
Terri S.
The service today was exceptional and was both comfortable and informative. My results today were compared to my last visit, which showed improvement. Kawata Dental has been my dentist for over 30 years and now my entire family are clients. I will continue to use Kawata Dental in the future.
Michelle K.
Alisa was my hygienist and she works very thoroughly every time👌Her diagnostic alert was excellent and it was followed by Dr. Kawata. You cannot go wrong in the care of Kawata Dental Staff.
Renée L.
Dr. Ben Kawata has been my dentist since I moved to Santa Monica in 2010. Since then I have moved from California to NYC and now live on Maui. Dr. Ben remains my dentist. I try to see him twice a year. He's an exceptional dentist, very careful, proficient, gentle, and down to earth. His staff is wonderful, friendly. Hygienists are the best! You cannot be in better hands. This is why Dr. Ben is my dentist although I live 2500 miles away!.
Shelley J.
Always a pleasant experience. Office is clean. Staff is professional. Service is outstanding. I have been a patient for decades and will continue to be a patient in the future.

Our family has been going to Dr. Kawata office for over 50 years now. The Kawatas are known and well respected in the WLA community. They run a class act business and this is why they have been so successful. Service is great very kind staff and show compassion and patience to their patrons. I recommend them to anyone looking for a great dentist..

Best place ever and everyone is friendly. Their skill is beyond magic. My sister and I drove an hour to have our work done. Will go back for future. 👍👍👍
Herb W.
I’ve been a patient of Kawata Dental Clinic for several years. I can only say that the level of professionalism, care and concern for my oral health I receive here is well above the expected norm. From scheduling to in-chair treatment, I’ve never had the least bit of concern about the outcome of my dentistry. A few words to describe: caring, gentle, warm and friendly, extremely proficient and concern about the outcome are synonymous with Kawata Dental Clinic. HD Warren

Every one knows how it feel when a dentist give you an anesthesia on the gum, even they put a local numbing cream first and told you, "you will feel just a little poke!" But you knew, most of the time it's actually pretty painful. BUT, I finally found a great doctor who's really meant what he said- Dr. Ben Kawata. I really just feel a little poke and nothing after. First time in my life I almost felt asleep when he was taking care of my cavity (if not because of the drilling sound and my jaw was sore). Highly recommend if you are afraid to see a dentist like me. Thank you, Dr Ben Kawata!

I have been going to Dr. Kawata Corp since I was a kid. I have a bridge that has lasted over 40 years now. Ben has continued his father’s great work.
Bart B.
I have been going to the Kawata Family dentists since I first moved to West Los Angeles in 1960. The whole office staff has always been professional, efficient, polite, and above all nice. I can’t believe I have been seeing them for 60 years. Most people don’t consider going to the dentist a pleasure. I have never minded going to the Kawata’s.
Fabio N.
Friendly & very professional staff. Very happy w my cleaning & bleaching . Cheers

They are the most friendly force. The office is clean and the staff is very professional. Doctor Ben is very through yet fast in completing treatments. Don’t go anywhere else!
WAYNE F.
Quality of dental care is excellent. Hygienists are very professional and meet my expectations for teeth cleaning. Dr. Kawata comes from a family of dentists. He makes sound recommendations about needed dental work based on years of experience.
Jill J.
Dr Kiki is amazing!! She’s knowledgeable and gentle. I actually fell asleep during a cavity procedure.
Nancy T.
Dr. Ben Kawata and his entire team and staff are incredible! They do their best to always accommodate my schedule and still have reminder calls...so much nicer than a robo call or text! 😁 Although I moved farther away, I will always make the drive back to Dr. Kawata. Always kind and gentle when working on my dental care.
Scott D.
He's a great dentist and I feel I'm well taken care of there
Wilfred C.
welcoming, friendly, relatable but business - like and competent

Wanna know how much we love Dr Kawata and his staff? Takes me an hour an 20 minutes in the AM to get there and he’s so worth it! So amazing and super through!

Yoshi K.
My wife and I have been going to Dr. Kawata for ages. I have so much respect to his professionalism and showing how much he loves his works and really attentive to his work. and his assistant Victoria is an incredible person and really knows how to make you comfortable. Dr. Kawata is very patient and knows how to listen to you. He is a dentist bu, more than that he could orchestrate once you open your mouth so that each and every teeth will work in harmony!
Office C.
I have been going to Dr. Kawata's clinic for several years. The service has always been very professional and friendly. I am thankful for their service and for their attentiveness to details.
Yoshi K.
On an emergency case, Dr. Okamoto and his assistant Victoria took care of me so well that I really appreciated the experience. I think Dr. Okamoto is a naturally patient and caring person though the procedure took much longer than we anticipated. He is also good listener and knows how to face the situation without getting emotionally involved.
Robert Y.
Painless dentistry at its finest. I have severe Dentophobia. Dr Kawada and his staff are so kind and understanding.
Pamela R.

Karen N.
I've been coming to this practice for over 40 years. Although the staff has changed over the years, the excellent service carries over to the next generation - very friendly, caring, and professional. Thank you to Dr. Ben, Emiko, Carol and the rest of the staff.
Sharon K.
Friendly, informative, all services done with no questions needed!!!

Ben Kawata is a true dental professional. Me and my entire extended family have been going to this location for close to 40 years. My father originally met Dr. Kobayashi (the previous dentist in charge of the facility) during his times at UCLA and we have stuck with the business since then. The office was eventually taken over by the Kawata family (friends of hers) after she passed. The quality has not only been maintained since 4 decades ago, but also significantly improved. Dr Ben uses state of the art technology and I always leave knowing I'm in good hands. My parents go here, I have gone here since childhood, and I'm quite confident my children will also go here.
