UCLA Venice Dental Center

I've been a patient at the UCLA Venice Dental Center for a number of years. Each year a new dentist takes over your case and this past year I've been lucky to be a patient of Dr. Dane Dudley. From the start, Dr. Dudley's easygoing nature and friendliness allowed me to discuss my concerns about the extensive dental work I needed done (sinus lift, implants, gum grafts). He is confident and skilled, and I never once worried about anything while under his care. I mean, if you read all the awful things that can happen from a sinus lift (exaggerations, mostly) you really have to trust the person who is performing oral surgery on you! One example of what I liked: Dr. Dudley is very good at checking in on you throughout your procedures. Some dentists seem to forget there's a patient behind the mouth they're working on, but not him. He wants you to be comfortable and feel safe. After the procedure, he'll follow up with you to make sure you're doing well. Ultimately, I'm very happy with the progress Dr. Dudley made on all that dental work I had been putting off. Truly, I would be happy if I could keep Dr. Dudley as my dentist.If it weren't for the horrible traffic I'd make the trek out to Thousand Oaks to keep seeing him.
