Torrance Dental Associates

So nice!! My first time here and my first time going to the dentist in a while, especially for a cleaning. Very clean and bright office and quick to get called in. Manfredo did my scanning, xrays, and cleaning. He was so so so nice, quick work, explained everything and answered all my questions, also recommended I ask my old dentist about some stuff; helped me feel super comfortable and less nervous!! Dr. Nima was also kind and thorough in his explanations about my teeth/gums/questions, explained what I was going to experience during the cleaning (water, sounds, sensitivity), also recommended additional treatment for gum inflammation! Quick appointment, they informed me of the charges for services not covered by insurance before they did anything. When I paid and made my next appointment,

Today was my first appointment as a new patient and I can honestly say that my visit was pleasant. The staff was hospitable, I was seen in a timely manner. The parking lot ,lobby, and the examination rooms were all clean and inviting. Best experience at the dentist in a very long time. I will definitely be back .

Previously before this appointment, I had a very negative experience with the dentist in my childhood. Going to the Dental Associates has honestly healed a wound in my life. My experience was quick and straight to the point. Dr answered all the probing questions I had with no issue. Highly recommend from a person who loves dentistry again.

Update: 11/3/25 Today I had my 3rd visit and 2nd procedure (an extraction of all things) and I can honestly say I’m no longer fearful or anxious about going to the dentist. It was my first time meeting Dr. Arce, he was as gentle as possible and explained my procedure and options , which help put me at ease. Kaniya and Ara were very friendly, warm and attentive. You are in good hands at this office! Today , I had an initial exam and consultation. I’m always nervous about going to the dentist and did not know what to expect. Manfredo was very professional, warm and gentle when completing my X-rays. Dr. Pallares’ presence further put me at ease , he has a very calming demeanor. He explained my treatment plan thoroughly and was very gentle during my examination. Both periodically checked in

My family and I have been going to Torrance Dental Associates for the last 5 years and have always been pleased with the service we receive. The front desk staff is always very friendly and knowledgeable. My dentist, Dr. Sako, is extremely kind, patient, and gentle. I recommend this dental practice to all of my family and friends.
