Westar Dental: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Best dental experience ever. I typically hate the dentist but abeera (sorry if I spelled it wrong) was great! Everyone was super friendly and fast!
Fantastic experience: The whole squad is the best! Took great care of me.
Fantastic experience: Absolute 10/10. Had an emergency wisdom teeth removal appointment and every single person I interacted with was beyond helpful and respectful. Finally found a dentist I want to come back to!
Fantastic experience: I’m terrible and have avoided the dentist. However, I decided to really get it together and went in for a cleaning. Great experience! Went in last week for my wisdom teeth removal, and the process was smooth! Dr. Chen & Dr. Oh are so helpful, and any concerns I have had they have provided me with great feedback. Lauren at the front desk is beyond welcoming and very kind as well. Overall a really great experience, and happy to make future appointments with Westar Dental.
Fantastic experience: I took my daughter there due to her wisdom teeth being swollen and needing out. They are not within my insurance network but her regular dentist couldn't pull her teeth and the person who could only works once every two months and they were going to charge an arm and a leg. But Westar charged way less for the teeth extraction and got it done same day. I paid less without insurance than with the insurance. Dr OH was awesome with my daughter and was able to make her relax while pulling her wisdom teeth which is hard for most people with her. My daughter said he was so calming and quick with it. I would highly recommend this place.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad we could help your daughter with her wisdom teeth extraction, even if we're not in your insurance network. Providing efficient and affordable care is our priority, and we're thrilled to hear that Dr. Oh was able to make her feel comfortable during the procedure. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We're here whenever you need us!
Negative experience: Called and asked if they took our insurance which they said they did. However when we arrived they charged there rates which are double the industry standard without letting us know that they are out of network and dont honor what insurance pays. Not transparent with pricing. Had to get a bigger procedure done that they quoted 3.5k. Called around and found out they are double what the normal rates are. There service and people are great. They have good equipment and a nice atmosphere. The non transparency in pricing and there exorbitant rates drops the 5 star to a 2. Wish them well but I do not recommend if you dont plan on flushing your money down the toilet
Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience overall! Everyone that I interacted with was friendly and great at their job. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Everyone there is very friendly .Great customer service. Very efficient and professional. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Josh was very friendly and did a great job!
Fantastic experience: I had full mouth dental implants done by Dr. Oh and I can’t say enough! Being that it is a pretty extensive procedure I was very nervous, but the whole staff made it easy and I felt comfortable from the start. I was seen for a consultation and had the procedure scheduled less than one month later. Dr. Oh is very thorough and professional. The whole staff is welcoming and kind. The cost of implants are very expensive and after several consultations at other offices, Westar was by far the cheapest. Thank you Westar dental for helping regain my confidence with a new smile!
Negative experience: I’ve been going to this dentist office for about 5 years twice a year now. Never had problems until recently. My partner went in to get cavities filled and was experiencing emergency level pain. When we called to set an appointment up, they informed us that they would not do so unless we paid a $85 appointment fee. For the 5 years I have been coming here, not once have I paid an appointment fee. They stated that the fee would come out of any work that the doctor would do. We paid $800 to get dental work done and they would not fix their mistake and see him without demanding more money to make the appointment and for us to pay to fix whatever issue that they clearly caused. So 800 + appt fee + “any additional work completed.” They should have immediately had him come in as he already paid for this service and this would have been an appointment to fix their mistake. This is quite literally dental fraud. I had an appointment next week for a routine cleaning and just received an email that it was canceled without my knowledge or courtesy phone call. Reception staff is extremely rude, ignorant & completely unprofessional. I am truly appalled at the way they have treated us and deeply disappointed in Dr. Oh for not taking care of the situation as I have known him and respected him for many years. Please do not visit this office unless you want them to not do their dental work professionally and correctly and then demand more money to fix whatever issue they didn’t take care of the first time. Josh - the dental hygienist - is amazing and quite literally the only hygienist here that has not left me with bleeding gums due to inadequate professional capacity and skill. I had asked the reception team to have Dr. Oh call me, as he has told me to do if I ever found myself in a situation like this, and I am surely certain that they did not relay the message to him. Deeply disappointed, will not be returning to this office ever and will be having all my referrals switch to another dentist office as well.
Fantastic experience: seated quickly, very kind staff, thorough cleaning and examination, clean and tidy building.
Thanks so much, Lynn! Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Come here for every cleaning. I have also had my wisdom teeth removed here and had a filling procedure. They took the time to make sure i was comfortable but also perform each service very quickly and thoroughly! Would recommend.
Thank you for the kind words, Robby! We are so happy you had a good experience and are excited to welcome you back next time!
Fantastic experience: Josh was great! First time in decades I've been to a dentist but I will be back!
We really appreciate the review, Steve! It means a lot to know you had a positive experience with us. See you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Easy and Fast. Very nice, all of the people were very welcoming. I dont go to the dentist often which is terrible but I have a fear of dentist. However they made it easy, got me in and out for a emergency extraction same day! Will come back for regular cleanings and fillings!
We really appreciate your kind words, Brandon! It means a lot to know you had a positive experience with us. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Negative experience: Wasn't gonna post this review but this place doesnt keep records of payments made and then 5 months later they say you are past due and the 2 payments that you made for your son to have work done has disappeared from their records. The charges still exists on my wife's Discover card. I must acknowledge that they wouldnt do any work on our son unless we paid upfront. As soon as I realized they were trying to get more money out of us by saying we never made any payments I dropped them like cold turkey. They say we owe $200 and some but my wife's discover shows 2 transactions totalling over $200. If a company has 5 star be very careful. Obviously this place is far from a 5* I cannot be the only person they say didnt pay anything and they are trying to get the ame amount I already paid plus more. BE WARNED and RETHINK before you ever think about coming here!!!
Hi Andy,
We value transparency and would be happy to review your son’s account this week. I can understand your frustration. If I were in your position, I would feel the same way. Since I haven’t been able to locate the account, please give us a call and I will personally take a look at it for you.
-Dr. Oh-
Fantastic experience: We loved Areeba, Dr Chen and the front desk ladies. Everyone was very kind and informative!!
Thank you, Hailey! We’re so glad your visit was a great one. See you at your next appointment :)
Fantastic experience: First appointment here, staff and employees could not have been kinder. First time at The said there was no pain! I will be back.
We really appreciate your kind words, Rosemarie! It means a lot to know you had a positive experience with us and we can't wait to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Josh Welk knows what he's doing and the best way to get it done. Amazing bed side manner. Glad to be working with Westar!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’ll see you at your next appointment :)
Fantastic experience: Every person in the office is always very helpful and welcoming, its almost a pleasure having work done here. Shout out to Josh, one of the best hygienists out there!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic dental group! The front desk ladies are super friendly and the assistants and dentist are outstanding! Highly recommend if your looking for a dentist to go to!
We really appreciate your kind words, Brooke! It means a lot to know you had a positive experience with us! :)
Fantastic experience: Was a great time!! Doc was great!! Every one should come.
Thank you so much, Rodger! We're so happy to hear your visit went well. Looking forward to next time!
Fantastic experience: Had to get my wisdom teeth out, they made sure I was super numbed which was what I was most concerned with! They were all very friendly and professional and got me in and out quickly! Highly recommended
Thank you, Geordie! We’re so glad your visit was a great one. See you at your next appointment
Fantastic experience: Im so glad I found this dentist. Everyone here is super nice and very professional. I had a full upper implant denture done. Absolutely love the final results. They also restored my bottoms teeth. They put three crown on and its Absolutely amazing how well they fit them. My last dentist did suck a poor job with crowns, there's was always gaps between the crown and the tooth. Food constantly getting stuck, and the crown would akway fail after a few year's. But the three crown they did here fit seamlessly its amazing. I feel very confident that they will ladt for years even possibly decades. Ive been to alot of diffrent dentists in my life and if I had to recommend one ot would be this place, hands down the best dental work I've ever had done and also at a reasonably affordable price!
We really appreciate your kind words! It means a lot to know you had a positive experience with us and we can't wait to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: The staff is so nice and very gentle when working on my teeth!
Thank you so much, Darien! We're so happy to hear your visit went well. Looking forward to next time!
Fantastic experience: Im terrified of dental work and this place made me feel welcome, calm and took very good care of me. I did not have dental insurance and they have plans for payments and other options, they really are a great staff and I will not be going anywhere else. There is a reason they have 1k plus reviews at 5 stars! Go here!
We're so happy to know you had a great experience, Anthony! Thank you for the review and we look forward to seeing you again soon
Fantastic experience: Very efficient office. I was seen right away for my appointment. My hygienist, Areeba was highly skilled, super nice and explained the process well and gave great home care recommendations. Dr. Oh was extremely personable and thorough in his evaluation. This place is an amazing dental practice! I'd recommend anyone in the area to seek care at Westar Dental if you're searching for care.
Hi Charles! We’re so happy to hear you had such a positive experience. Thank you for trusting us with your dental care, we look forward to seeing you again soon! :)
Fantastic experience: After much research, comparison shopping, and speaking with several offices, I chose Westar. Drew was very informative and incredibly professional and kind. My procedure was partially completed today. (Part one of implant; extraction, bone graft, and post set) I am amazed at how quickly and well it all went. I have no pain thus far and couldn't be happier. With the stitches, I don't have to worry about dry socket, or losing the clot. I will update as I progress until the final procedure is done. UDATE...two weeks: went for my follow up. Everything is great. I'm all healed up with no pain at all. I forget the the implant is even there. Update: 3 months...I now have my implant crown. It's amazing. Great work. Enduring went so well, I decided to have a couple of my off colored crowns redone, and comprehensive exam revealex two cavities. Well, one visit, and done!! Cavities, filled crowns off, temporary crowns on, and I am very happy with all the work done.
Hi Teresa! We really appreciate your kind words! It means a lot to know you had a positive experience with us. Looking forward to seeing you again soon :))
Fantastic experience: Both the hygienists and assistants were great! The front desk was helpful and kind, and the Doctor was friendly as well! 10/10 Would recommend to anyone who needs any dental work or cleanings done. Very clean and modern office with TVs as well.
Fantastic experience: The staff here has been extremely kind and helpful with my dental issues. As someone with a lot of dental trauma and anxiety they do their best to keep my mind at ease and not make me feel like I am being judged. They also can always get me scheduled in a timely manner so I am never waiting too long to get in. Really appreciate all they have done to help me get my teeth back in order!
Hi Izzy! We really appreciate your kind words! It means a lot to know you had a positive experience with us. Looking forward to seeing you again soon
Fantastic experience: Best dental experience I’ve ever had. The staff is super helpful, knowledgeable, kind, and friendly. This will be the dentist I keep recommending to friends and family and it’s the dentist that has fixed all of the bad dental experiences for me.
Thank you for the kind words, Daniel! We are so happy you had a great experience and are excited to welcome you back next time :)
Fantastic experience: I had such a great experience on my first visit. The staff was welcoming and informative on what they were needing to do. I was given a thorough cleaning and planned for future work on my teeth to be able to have the healthiest mouth possible. So glad I came!!!!
Thank you, Tiffany! We’re so glad your visit was a great one. We look forward to seeing you at your next appointment! :)
Fantastic experience: Have been going to Westar Dental for years… Dr. Oh and Dr. Amin are both spectacular dentists. Highly recommend
Thanks for the 5-star review, Ashley! We’re glad you had a great experience :)
Fantastic experience: Excellent, pain free experience. Great customer service and friendly team members!
Thank you for the kind words, Katie! We are so happy you had a good experience and are excited to welcome you back next time :)
Positive experience: I'll start by saying this was my second visit to this location, and I may be back- but likely only for simple, straightforward needs in the future. Additionally, while they do accept my insurance, that first visit didn't entirely live up to the percentages I was supposed to be paying for an in-network dentist. Today was unfortunately a very different experience. I snapped a very visible front tooth pretty badly that unfortunately had too much damage to be restored. The only option for replacement that was given to me was an implant or flipper. Unfortunate but it happens when you have a lot of dental damage. However I didn't have the work completed here after all, for a couple of reasons. Despite their office fee breakdown very clearly stating that implants can be covered by certain PPO plans up to 80% (and their statements about the importance of transparency..) I very quickly learned that they actually refuse to bill implants through insurance...and an earlier review notes that they even use their own billing codes that make it so you can't bill them through insurance after the fact (which thankfully is a theory I wont be testing). I accepted that hit and figured out how to pay for it and expressed that it was very important to me to not leave with a front tooth missing that day. We discussed what would happen after the implant and options for a temporary tooth there were, from an essex retainer to a temporary crown. I expressed concern with the inability to eat wearing the essex and fear about snapping it due to daytime bruxism and clenching. Ultimately no real answers could be given on the likelihood of that or how to protect the piece. I was even told that if I wasnt comfortable with the treatments there I could choose somewhere else to go and had to explain that it wasnt lack of comfort it was a need for information. I was still ready to move forward after some emotions and a walk outside to discuss the situation with a trusted party (shoutout to the staff here as they were very kind and understanding as I had a mini mental breakdown for a moment trying to figure out how to proceed). Then as we are finalizing things I learn that it would only be a SCAN for the essex retainer and a 2 week waiting period before I could have anything placed in that hole because despite the fact that it was discussed as an option i was then told they don't do temporary crowns at that location and there was nothing they could do. That was when I left. I went elsewhere where the same prognosis was made but a bridge was recommended over an implant for a variety of reasons. It cost a lot more unfortunately, but I was listened to and my concerns addressed without any issue with my most important concerns given appropriate space, and hopefully can get some assistance through my insurance in post even though this was out of network. VERY CURIOUS however why this service that WOULD have been covered by insurance at the appointment through Westar was never even presented as an option? This entire appointment was the opposite of open transparancy and while I am so grateful for that first experience, I will absolutely weigh my options in the future rather than this being my first choice.
Fantastic experience: Always a warm and welcoming experience. I was super anxious at the beginning but the team here are so nice and made me feel at ease. I never felt judged and all concerns have always been answered. Highly recommend!
We really appreciate your kind words, Sandy! It means a lot to know you had a positive experience with us. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Excellent staff and doctors! Very attentive. Doc broke everything down to great detail. Costs and financing options were great and very transparent. Recommend 5/5 for sure. Josh is great at what he does. Not rough at all. Very calm demeanor. Explains everything very thoroughly. Would recommend 10 out of 5 if I could.
Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had such a positive experience with our team. Transparency and attentive care are always our priorities. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to serving you again!

Fantastic experience: Starting with the front desk Drew very helpful very nice on the phone and is the reason I switched my dentist recently to this dentist office and of course the staff very nice
Thanks so much, Mike! Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Negative experience: I really liked going here at first. I had a dental emergency and they were able to get me in and perform an extraction. So I started scheduling with Dr. O. The second cleaning I had there were a bunch of extra charges for things I had not asked for. It was at that moment I realized the office upcharhes everything. They tried to give me dirty safety glasses to wear. I politely declined. I wore my glasses instead. They started off my visit by telling me my appointment had been canceled because they dont have my confirmation. After having several cavities repaired by Dr. Amin I've had issues with the repair work falling apart. I was told I needed a mouth guard and asked to sign a document that I was declining the guard. I have since been able to obtain a more cost effective guard. Never received any paperwork regarding what I was signing. Dr. Amin also told me they wouldn't be able to fix any additional issues for free in the future and I would be charged to have it fixed again. IT had only been a few days and I strongly feel she didn't do the procedure correctly. I understand dentist offices have multiple dentists on staff at places like this, but I'm definitely looking for a new dentist.
Fantastic experience: I have been here 2x now, and I have had the best experience once again! Went in for a root canal and everything went smooth. It was peaceful and I didn’t feel a thing. Was anxious when I walked in, and I’m walking out feeling more confident than ever. I love this dentist place!! The atmosphere and just everyone is so welcoming and friendly! You can tell everyone in this building love their job! ❤️ thank you everyone!!
We really appreciate your kind words, Bryana! It means a lot to know you had a smooth and positive experience with us and we can't wait to see you again soon!!☺️
Fantastic experience: I called at 3:52pm by 415 I was already in a seat getting my filling taken care of. It was done same day unfortunately it is on my front tooth so I’ve dealt with it numerous of times before, but the experience with Dr. O Was close to none he was very quick very precise and very clean. Over the years of going to the dentist I’ve never had an experience like this one. He was truly amazing thank you so much.
Hi Corey! Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are so happy you had a great experience with us :)
Fantastic experience: not only did Dr.Amin and Shriya successfully complete my extraction they also was very respectful , patient, and knowledgeable
Hi Jasmine! Thank you so much for the review! We are so glad to hear that you had a great experience :))
Fantastic experience: Had my regular cleaning done by Josh! He's very professional and thorough! Excellent job, easy check-in, always friendly atmosphere! Will be back for sure!
Thank you so much, Anastasia! We're glad we could make your appointment a positive one. We can't wait to welcome you back :)
Fantastic experience: One of the best cleaning experiences! Josh Welk, dental hygienist, has done a great job every time I come to get my teeth cleaned! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a new hygienist!!
Hi Bryan! Thank you for the awesome review! We're thrilled you had a great visit with us :)
Fantastic experience: My experience was very positive. The staff and Dr. were so kind and compassionate. The facility is spotless and they have top of the line equipment. I am grateful I found them!
We really appreciate your kind words, Jeneanne! It means a lot to know you had a positive experience with us. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Our family loves coming to Westar Dental. It took forever to find a place my kids liked going and they love it here. Everyone is so friendly too.
Hi Renee! Thank you so much for the wonderful review, we look forward to seeing you again soon :)
Fantastic experience: Everyone is so nice! Scheduling appointments is so easy. Very clean offices.
Hi Jayma! Thank you for the five stars, your support means a lot :)
Fantastic experience: Absolutely incredible dental staff and care. I have been to so many dentists and this one was by far the best. They were very organized, efficient, and kind with every step. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Josh is awesome! Super chill, made the whole cleaning quick and easy, and was really friendly the whole time.
Hi Eldorado! Thank you so much for the kind words, we appreciate your support :)
Fantastic experience: Came in with an emergency tooth issue and anxiety. They were kind, caring and good at what they do. All staff showed attentive professionalism.
Hi Becky! We truly appreciate your kind words! It's wonderful to hear you had a great visit :)
Fantastic experience: We initially started coming here after my husband needed to get some emergency dental work after years of avoiding the dentist after a poor experience when he was younger. Dr. Oh and his team have completely changed that for him, they didn't make him feel shamed and helped him get his oral health back in shape. Since then, we come here with our kids too, and the staff have done amazing with them. My son is even excited about going to the dentist, something I always dreaded as a child. We are very happy here at Westar Dental!
Hi Sarah! Thank you so much for the kind words! It means a lot to know you had a positive experience with us. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: I had 3 of my wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. O and his team a month ago. The procedure went smooth and they kept me extremely comfortable. I highly recommend to anyone trying to figure out the next step for wisdom teeth extraction to consider Westar as one of your options. They also worked with my insurance to keep costs affordable. They then scheduled me for a follow up and teeth cleaning. I have to give a shout out to Josh. He was extremely thorough, knowledgeable, friendly, and explained in detail many questions and concerns I have had for years. (Drew at the front desk keeps things rolling.) Needless to say, I have been really impressed and happy with the care I have recieved thus far.
Hi Stephen! Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We're so glad we could make your visit a positive one :)
Negative experience: I made an emergency appointment, they told me i needed dental work done. The dr told me he was “too busy” to fix my dental emergency and told me i needed to make another appointment to fix it. They had nothing available and told me to call them when my schedule was opened. I was so upset and left in pain. I will never go back here again !!!!
Fantastic experience: I had fillings done by Dr.Amin. She was very informative and gentle! I would highly recommend this dental office to anyone.
Hi Salma! Thank you so much for the wonderful review, we're happy you had a great experience
Fantastic experience: My experience at Westar Dental has been outstanding. They are patient and answered all of my questions. They go above and beyond to assure you the treatment will be excellent. Thank you, Westar Dental!
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback, Sarah! We're thrilled to hear that your experience at Westar Dental has been outstanding. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to seeing you again! :)
Fantastic experience: By far one of the best dentists I have ever been to in a long time. I had a tooth that broke over the weekend and by Sunday afternoon the pain was unbearable. They not only managed to see me on a Sunday before they closed but pulled the tooth and sent me home feeling a million times better. They were incredibly friendly, patient, and quick. As someone who is terrified of dentists, this place made me feel comfortable. They even took my insurance on a weekend so I could afford to go. Other "emergency dentist" make you pay everything up front and have your insurance reimburse you but not these folks. I will forever be grateful for this amazing team and clinic.
We really appreciate your kind words, Rosemary! It means a lot to know you had a positive experience with us. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Positive experience: Updated from 5 stars to 1. Staff here were great however, I had a procedure done in December and was significantly overcharged—by over $1,700—despite my insurance clearly outlining a much lower patient responsibility. After calling the office, they admitted the mistake and told me a refund would be issued. It’s now been months, and I’ve followed up multiple times via phone and email. I was told the issue was “forwarded” but still have no refund and no clear update. I work full-time and can’t call during their business hours, so I’ve left voicemails without a response. This has been frustrating and disappointing, especially considering how long it has dragged on. If you’re considering treatment here, double-check your insurance paperwork and stay on top of the billing—they clearly don’t. My procedure was done in December and I still have not had this corrected. Update: Has been corrected 4/26/25.
Negative experience: Charged $75 cancellation fee. They sent a text reminder of the appointment exactly 48 hours before the appointment was to start. Forgot I was going to be out of town for Easter. I called right after I got the text to cancel/reschedule. Was told that because the appointment is less than 48 hours away (46 hours when I called) that I would be charged a fee. Sure keep the $, I’ll go elsewhere.
Fantastic experience: Everyone in the office is so wonderful. They answered all of my questions and made my wisdom teeth removal seamless (especially for someone who put it off for years).
Hi Suhani! Thank you so much for the great review, we are so happy that you had a positive experience with us
Negative experience: If I could give a zero star I would. Dr. Amin was great and tried to help with my anxiety. But Dr. Oh never even spoke to me. When I called with concerns I was told I’d get a call back later and then I had to call again. I spoke with Dr. Amin but it was Dr. Oh and Dr. Oh didn’t say anything to be before taking my wisdom teeth out. I was also not prescribe appropriate pain medication and now I’m in the ER all night. Worst experience and could have been avoided I should have stuck to my gut when I felt something was off when he wouldn’t make time to talk about the procedure or the after procedure
Negative experience: UPDATE!! Frauds! DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE! They told me that they don't send in the claim forms for implants. I asked if I could submit my own form, which they recommended that I do instead. I paid over $5000 out of pocket and went through the process to submit my form only for them to give me false codes. Once I realized that I didn't get reimbursed from my insurance, I was advised by the office that they do not provide real codes for reimbursement. They then proceeded to harass me for payment and threatened to send me to collections. I later confirmed with billing that it was for work that was NEVER scheduled or completed. Billing is a joke and so is this practice!! Oh and they spam you all day every day the first few days after service for a google review. Dr.Oh and his staff have been nothing but amazing. I had a significant amount of work done and it has been a pain free experience every step of the way. Highly recommend Westar Dental!
Negative experience: Waited 20 minutes to be acknowledged to no avail and so I went behind the desk to the exam rooms to find someone. Then they charged a processing fee to use a credit card! How very Walmart of them. I dont trust businesses who charge a processing fee. It's so shortsighted. And the music they had blasting was hip hop. Clearly they don't know their audience.
I’m truly sorry to hear about your experience at Westar Dental. We strive to provide timely and attentive care to all our patients, but I understand that your visit didn’t meet your expectations. Our patient care coordinator, Drew, did an incredible job managing a high volume of emergency patients that day, ensuring they were seen on the same day, which is not something many offices offer on weekends. While not every business operates the same way and not every office is the right fit for everyone, we sincerely wish you the best of luck in finding a dental office that suits your needs.
Wishing you the best,
Dr. Oh
Fantastic experience: Phenomenal care here! I am a newer patient that came in a couple weeks ago due to cracking a tooth. Turned out it was a wisdom tooth and 3/4s of them had to come out. I have seen Dr. Amin twice and she has been fantastic. Today, for the extraction, I saw Dr. Oh and he was very professional and caring during the whole procedure. The IV sedation was great and he made sure I was comfortable during the whole thing which was done very quickly and efficiently! The only thing I would say is give the patient more aftercare info after they’re done or give it to their driver. I signed an electronic paper when I got there that mentioned things about the first hour, etc, but with the med I took in the morning before getting there and then the actual sedation itself there’s no way I’ll remember any of that regardless, I would 10/10 recommend this dental office and their amazing staff but I’m glad I don’t need to do THAT procedure again!
Hi Jenna! We really appreciate your kind words! It means a lot to know you had a positive experience with us :)
Fantastic experience: Thorough in every way. Installed new caps on my implants and they look and feel great. Best cleaning I've ever had. Engaging and upbeat staff. Dr. Amin is highly qualified and professional.
We really appreciate your kind words, David! It means a lot to know you had a positive experience with us. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: I have had major dentist anxiety my entire life... Until I started coming here. I've never had a bad experience or felt anxious here. Everyone you encounter is so kind, understanding and gentle. Can't recommend them enough!!
Thank you for your kind words, Katlyn! We’re happy to hear about your positive experience with our team. Providing kind and comfortable care is always our goal. We look forward to seeing you again! :)
Fantastic experience: This place is wonderful. A few months back I had an emergency root canal and it was so painful and scary but he was gentle and kind. The anesthesiologist was wonderful too, I was completely numb. Tooth problems can be horrible and embarrassing but every staff member here from the front desk to the dental hygienist to the dentist himself has been kind and so thoughtful! I recommend them to everyone.
Hello Elyse! Thank you so much for the review! We really appreciate it!=)
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Westar dental!! All of the staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The hygienist, Josh, performed a thorough cleaning with great skill ensuring my gums were not irritated. They also use the most modern equipment so x-rays are quick and easy, and there is even a TV on the ceiling right above the chair that you can watch during your cleaning or procedure!!
Thanks so much, Sandy! We're glad we could make your appointment a positive one. We can't wait to welcome you back!
Fantastic experience: Westar dental has to be the best dentist out there! I had a root canal and crown fitted and it was literally painless. Doc Oh is phenomenal and the office staff are also very friendly. They also have financing which is helpful! I highly recommend this dentist!
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that your experience at Westar Dental was painless and positive. Dr. Oh and our team are dedicated to providing top-notch care and a friendly environment for all our patients. We're glad our financing options were helpful too. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: My experience at westar dental was nothing short of incredible! I went to get all four of my wisdom teeth removed. Once I got there I was greeted by friendly faces. My hygienist Hadeel was kind and helped to answer all of my questions. They have very experienced dentists who had me in and out with no problems. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
Thank you for the kind words, Mohammed! We are so happy you had a good experience and are excited to welcome you back next time
Fantastic experience: I have never been impressed with a cleaning before, but I sure am with westar dental. I'm looking forward to working with them in the future. A truly professional and knowledgeable staff!
We really appreciate your kind words, Maxwell! It means a lot to know you had a positive experience with us. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Dr.Oh and Jackie were very nice and made me feel comfortable and welcomed . I scheduled online early early Sunday morning for a dental emergency and was able to get in the same day . To be honest i didn’t even realize they were done , that’s how fast and painless it was and my mouth already feels better minus the obvious swelling from the extraction . I’ll definitely be going back , thank you so much
We really appreciate your kind words, Ashlynn! It means a lot to know you had a positive experience with us. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: I am changing my review. Originally I gave a less than stellar review because I paid with a charge card and they charged me the 2% that the vendor pays. If I had used a debit card there is no fee.Sidebar: charge cards have better fraud protection so that’s why I don’t have a debit card. Anyway I complained on Google and they refunded the 2% I previously paid. However I believe that they will pass the 2% vendor fee to you if you use a charge card. So either use a debit card. I don’t know if they take ckecks so plan ahead & call them before your appointments.
Fantastic experience: I had an emergency situation and this office got me in right away and immediately took care of the problem. Since that time , I had the need for two follow-up visits. I had top shelf care and service. I can't say enough positive things about thos office. This will be my dentist moving forward.
We really appreciate your kind words, Kelly! It means a lot to know you had a positive experience with us. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Positive experience: So far so good. Very efficient process. I never have to wait when I arrive for an appointment. The staff are all just very happy and super nice. It's actually a pleasant experience because the staff is so nice.
Fantastic experience: They were so quick! They got me in super fast and got me in for a filling 2 days later! They were super nice and very gentle. I love how fast and responsive they’ve been and they made it super easy. This is now my new dentist for the foreseeable future!!
Hi Lexie! We are so happy to hear that you had a great experience! We look forward to seeing you again soon :))
Fantastic experience: Great place to get the dental work done. Very caring and smart team. Quick service and faster appointments in compare to other dental places.
Thanks so much for the perfect rating, Shani! We’re glad you had a great visit :)
Fantastic experience: I drive a hour and half for these appointments! Never been a fan of going to the dentist, but from someone that works in the hospitality industry, they excel at it! Always so welcoming, great energy, and amazing music in the background!
We really appreciate your kind words, Jonathan! It means a lot to know you had a positive experience with us. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Hanul Oh was amazing. Friendly manner. Listened carefully and help me delay an emergency. The staff reflected the same courtesies and competence.
Hi Judy! We really appreciate your kind words! It means a lot to know you had a positive experience with us. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Negative experience: My wife was having a dental emergency. Their online said accepted walk-ins. Called when I was 45 minutes out as a courtesy in case there were any issues. I was told I would be called back within 15 minutes. Never got a call. Arrived and was turned away at reception for a "full schedule". They were aware of my call and who I was, but didn't call me back.
Fantastic experience: I needed urgent dental treatment during the holidays while my usual dentist was closed. Westar allowed me to make an appointment online, and I was in and out very quickly! Everyone working there was extremely nice and organized, making it an easy and relieving visit for me.
Thank you for the kind words, Heather! We are so happy you had a good experience and are excited to welcome you back next time! :)
Fantastic experience: Everyone at Westar Dental is very friendly & professional. They made me feel at ease and very. comfortable. A judgement free dental office. I am just unable to afford any services at Westar myself. So I am forced, yet again, to find more affordable options for myself. This country has a healthcare system based on greed and not the citizens or patients. Not Westar’s fault. It’s unfortunately just how it is in this country.
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience after my dental cleaning appointment! The atmosphere was pleasant, and the staff, doctor, and hygienist were all very friendly and professional. They were extremely caring and thorough. Highly recommend!✅
Tariq, thank you so much for the feedback! Glad to give you a great experience! Look forward to seeing you soon! :)
Positive experience: 12/18/24 EDIT: My issue was resolved via email! They apologized for the billing discrepancy and accepted my payment at the time of service as final. They were very thorough with the explanation of what happened and put my mind at ease. Original: I was charged an amount at time of service with no indication that I would owe an additional balance afterwards (which goes against my dental insurance's policy with in-network providers which they are). However, they did just that and sent me a bill a day ago with a surprise balance. They already messed up my billing the first time around and sent me a bill with a more than a thousand dollar balance. The service was great but I cannot recommend this place due to the abysmal billing department experience.
Fantastic experience: I was lost for several minutes, the customer service representative for West Star dental was exceptional. I tried to cancel since I was running late; her remarks were" no, I'll see you when you arrive". I did arrive, and she noticed I was there. All of the staff was pleasant, trained well and prepared to speak with customers about the bill and credit. The doctor truly won me over. Dental treatment is not easy. My encounter with her easy and not alienating. Prices are reasonable.
Hi Rhonda! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're so glad our front desk team could support you when you were running behind—your time and effort to still come in truly means a lot. It’s wonderful to hear that you felt welcomed by our staff and confident in the care you received.

Fantastic experience: What an amazing experience! The entire staff was so caring and provided me with incredible service. I highly recommend Dr. Oh. I found my new dentist and I encourage anyone who is looking for a new dentist to make an appointment with Dr. Oh.

Fantastic experience: 10/10 recommend!!!!!! I am from Texas up here for work and I work 13 days on one day off on Sundays. I called on Sunday at 9 am and was able to get my problem fixed on the Same Day! This is a phenomenal team that work together amazing and you can tell they really enjoy their job and want to help people by the way they answered all of my questions and talked to me about my options that I had about my infected root canal that I had gotten done back home a couple years back. I’m very thankful for their patience and hard work, very appreciative! Definitely try them out! All around a wonderful experience. And that is a lot coming from me because dentist office give me a bit of anxiety but I didn’t feel that here ❤️

Negative experience: Upon arrival and check-in I advised that I had a full set of mouth x-rays done at another dentist and would have those sent to the office, but needed the address to send them. She said don't worry about it and they will take take care of it. It took about 25 minutes wait because I was told she was getting insurance coverage and billing and that I would not be seen until I paid in advance. Charged me about $65.00. Usually my copay is about $35.00. No one could explain the charge completely and explained only parts. I should have just walked away, but I proceeded with the appointment and they took some x-rays and did a 'cleaning'. Later they billed insurance for full mouth x-rays and of course insurance denied payment because, as I informed them prior to any work being done, that x-rays were available which were previously covered. Now they are billing me directly for redundant x-rays taken and not covered. Insurance would have covered bite wings, but not full mouth. Not transparent about anything at all. Called the billing office multiple times and goes to voice mail. Not paying for the work you did after I told you upon arrival that the recent x-rays were readily available and I did not approve paying more for duplicate information. Seems billing is a bit unethical at best as I still don't understand understand why charged so much more than others charged for copay. Never did get to to meet Dr Oh, someone else came in and did the 'exam'
Fantastic experience: Thank You so much for the wonderful hospitality service I received. I Love the Amenities of Westar Dental! Everyone was very delightful. Thank You Dew and X-ray Lady. Josh was very knowledgeable, informative, he knows how to maintain healthy dental care! Dr. Hanul was wondering kind and caring for the best dental care.

Fantastic experience: One of the best dentist offices I’ve ever visited. Dr Oh helped me with an extraction and implant on a Saturday emergency appointment. Dr Amir saw me several times for 2 crowns and 2 fillings. She’s amazing! The office staff is awesome too… everyone in the office that I have encountered has been very patient, kind, courteous, and understanding. Very clean facility and made me feel very comfortable and that’s never happened at a dental office before. My kids have been seen for cleanings as well… all great experiences!

Fantastic experience: I have to say that I was very happy with my experience. I had had a lot of work done at a dentists office on a Thursday and I woke up Thursday with one of my tooth split in two. Not only did they get me in the same day I called but did the procedure same day and then never had any anxiety with how professional and nice the team was. I even switched my care because of the service!

Fantastic experience: As soon as I walked in the door I knew this was an amazing facility. The staff was genuine and inviting. First time to the dentist in a long time and I had great conversations and information given to me. Every procedure they talked me through what they were doing and encouraged me. Tools, staff and interior was very clean. My Doctor Amin was very open, honest and knowledgeable with the ability to explain to me the diagnosis. I cannot wait to go back for my next cleaning. My mouth has never felt so clean!

Fantastic experience: I waited FIFTEEN years to get my wisdom teeth out because of my fear of the dentist. Inevitably, I ended up with pain more than I could bear and got into Westar same day. They got me scheduled for an extraction within 30 minutes or so. They have the option for sedation but I was awake with numbing and honestly, I’ve never had an easier dental experience. Who would have thought an emergency wisdom tooth extraction would be my most positive dental experience?!? Not me! But I was blown away by the friendly and professional staff. The procedure took FIVE minutes and was done before I knew it.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're so glad that we could make your wisdom tooth extraction as comfortable and smooth as possible. It's great to hear that our team's professionalism and care helped ease your fears. We truly appreciate your trust in us, and we're thrilled that your visit turned out to be a positive one. If you need any future dental care, we're here for you!
