"I had the best experience with Dr. K at his Beverly Hills office. I chipped my front tooth and they got me in right away, gave perfect instructions on where to park and it was easy! His staff is absolutely lovely, kind, and professional. Dr K is extremely knowledgeable and talented, he made me feel very comfortable and explained in detail what I needed to know. I would absolutely recommend him to family and friends who are looking for a professional and intelligent Dentist. Thank you again Kal Dental!"

"Visiting Kal Dental was one of the best decisions of my life. My front teeth needed some serious repair work from years of damage. Dr. K met with me and and discussed some repair options (including some before and after shots of his work), and we decided that my teeth could benefit from some bonding work. Dr. K went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with my teeth. My front teeth no longer look like someone took a file and started an abstract art project! Definitely worth a long drive!"

They're extremely organized, welcoming, and truly made my life easier when it came to insurance questions or scheduling.

"Kal Dental is a professional, accommodating and honest dentistry. My children and I drive from the Inland Empire to Beverly Hills just to see Dr. Khaled. We literally have been following him wherever he is because my kids are only comfortable with him. When they were younger he was the only one they would allow to work on their mouths. After much trauma at other dentists, he made them feel safe and comfortable. We have been with Dr. Khaled for over 10 years."

"Dr. Kal recently purchased the practice of Dr. Heidi Meinke, who is the best dentist I have ever had. I am happy for her that she is slowing down and entering pre-retirement. But selfishly, I felt a bit unsure about finding a new dentist. I’m happy to say Dr. Kal is truly a nice guy and a very capable dentist. He has already replaced a filling and a cap for me, and it was all very professional, comfortable, and painless. I will recommend him to friends and feel that Dr. Meinke made an excellent choice in having him take over her practice. I’m in good hands and you will be too."

"I had a wonderful experience during my visit to Kal Dental and felt that a review was absolutely necessary. Dr. Khoudari displayed excellent bedside manner and really made me feel that he was invested in improving my oral health. He explained to me the overall condition of my teeth and what was necessary to improve and maintain them. During his assessment, I never sensed that he was in a hurry to see another patient, which I had previously felt from other dentists. He was honest and professional. All and all my dental work at Kal Dental was top notch and I am glad I found Dr. Khoudari!"
