About The Smile Artists

A lounge-like office with Netflix during cleanings, and a dentist, Dr. Priyanka Assudani, who reviews say only recommends treatment when necessary.

The Smile Artists is a general dental practice in Culver City that also offers traditional braces. Reviews often note the modern, high-tech space, with Netflix during cleanings and an ambiance more like a lounge than a typical dental office. Patients also mention that recommendations feel unpressured, with Dr. Priyanka Assudani and Dr. Huh explaining which fixes are necessary versus cosmetic before proceeding. A number of reviews mention easy parking validation, though a few describe an unvalidated parking fee as a downside.

I had an appointment scheduled early this year that I couldn’t end up making because of a painful medical ailment. It was scheduled for a Monday and I called Friday morning and was told I’d be charged a $250 cancelation fee. When I was trying to explain that I was in pain and wouldn’t be able to sit in the chair, I was extensively guilt tripped with them saying I had already rescheduled the appointment before and they couldn’t fill that previous time slot. Cool, not my problem as I had rescheduled that appointment within the allotted time. After the phone call I decided I would rather deal with the $250 cancelation fee rather than spend over $2k of dental work there. I called back but they were already out of office (by 10am on a Friday) so I left a message. They then, without my knowledge or consent, charged the cancelation fee to my FSA card without even sending me a receipt or confirmation or anything. It wasn’t until a month later that I realized when I got a pause notification from my FSA account because of the denied claim since they don’t cover cancelation fees. I’ve never had a dentist charge my card without my permission first. I will never be back.

The entire team is great! They greet you and the doctors and hygienists are great. They work hard to accommodate your schedule! I drive from the IE every three months for my regular checkup and maintenance! I am 69 years old and have been with them for years!

I’ve been coming to The Smile Artists for at least 7 years. I can honestly say their team is the best and Dr. A is top notch. Highly recommend.
