Sadie Mestman, DMD

I didn’t have dental insurance for a few years and went to see Dr. Mestman after some severe tooth pain that could no longer be ignored. I had worked my self into a frenzy by the time I got there and Dr. Mestman did an amazing job of calming me down. She had an assuring and gentle bedside manner, was thorough, and came up with a plan to fix the circus of cavities in my mouth that wouldn’t put me in the poorhouse.
She cool.

I was Sadie Mestman’s dental hygienist and one of her best fans. Not only is she technically a good dentist, but she is a great person. Even the kids love her when she puts on a mask for them when they come in. She even does her own measuring of periodontal pockets which can be very tedious to keep an eye on periodontal health and, I suspect, to be sure it is as comfortable as possible since she is very gentle.

Okay, full disclosure, Sadie is my ex-​sister –in-​law. And she is the best dentist I have ever had. She is so painless that I once fell asleep in the chair while she was filling a tooth.
Her whole staff is friendly and really efficient, there are great magazines in the waiting room, and she validates.
What could be better?

Dr. Mestman is a caring and gentle dentist. She is the first dentist to every properly anesthetize me in 45 years of receiving dental care. My previous experiences with dentistry could be likened to Dustin Hoffman in «The Marathon Man». «Is it safe?» Turns out previous dentists were not adequately applying the anesthesia. Dr. Mestman was patient enough to do the job throughly. I’m a doctor myself and I appreciate good care. Thanks Dr. Sadie!

OMG what a great experience! I took my twins for their first trip to the dentist and they had such a great time– Yes you heard me correctly– They had a great time! Dr Mestman was caring and informative and not one tear was shed! I highly recommend.

I call her the painless dentist. I’ve been going to her for the past 10 years, including my kids. She does a terrific job, is always clear with her communications, never leaving me to doubt what is going on. The KIDS LOVE HER. She happily addresses any questions or concerns I have. She has replaced fillings for me, and each time I am amazed at how painless the entire procedure is. I can’t recommend her enough — after going through countless dentists (I’m 47), I’m done. She’s my dentist from now on.

My own childhood dental experiences approimated those of Dustin Hoffman in «Marathon Man,» so I routinely refer to dentists as sadists without much regret. We never even heard of novocaine at my dentist’s office and the slow drill was his tool of choice.
But my kid had to go to the dentist. Sadie Mestman was recommended to us and she started going at around 3 and she is now 15, our other kid is 11, and both are very satisfied patients. They LOOK FORWARD to going to the dentist, a trip I regarded as second only to being given the up close and personal tour of Auschwitz.
This is what Sadie does for your children so that they love the dentist, even if flossing remains a perpetual chore. She has a soft, calm voice. She does not speak in pandering or paternal tones. She is earnest and kind. She practices preventive care. She treats your child — she will wear any variety of cool animal masks (I believe bunny ears were my kids’ favorites), she uses flavored gloves, flavored toothpaste and she either sings songs or tells long convoluted stories while she is examining your child’s teeth. And best of all, she has an amazing assortment of trinkety prizes in a treasure chest that rival what the best of cheap amusement parks and Chuck E. Cheese have to offer. It’s like a dream game show for a child: after being treated by this mellow, soft spoken bunny rabbit with bubble gum gloves and chocolate toothpaste, you get prizes!
What ‘s great about this approach, is that even as the kids get older and the exam gets longer, and perhaps a little more uncomfortable, my kids feel so safe and secure in that chair, that they are fine with having their mouth «wide open» for 40 minutes.
Her staff is wonderful too. Highly recommended.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Mestman and her staff. They make going to the dentist a fun experience for kids! The extra little steps they do really help the anxiety. From teeth cleaning to a cavity they make it a fun and painless experience. If you have kids I wouldn’t look further, bring em here! She also takes adults as well!

Nice lady, questionable ethics. I needed a lot of work when I first saw her several years ago. For some reason, after one visit she simply decided not to treat me. She was not very clear about communicating her reasons, offered no referral (other than to an endodontist) and that was that. I thought we enjoyed a friendly visit and her attitude afterwards was puzzling. She acted with disregard for my health needs, and that raises doubts about her overall practice and attitude toward her patients.

Dr. Mestman is a really great dentist if you’re looking for a «home» dentist on the Westside. She is really nice, honest, straightforward and gives you good tips about taking care of your teeth. I feel like my mouth is always healthy after a visit there and I know that they’ll tell me if I’m messing up somehow (thankfully, my teeth are in pretty good shape).
One of Dr. Mestman’s dental hygienists (I think that’s the right term), Claire, is an absolute dreamboat. She is so upbeat and makes what is normally a really annoying, gratingly painful process of getting your teeth checked and cleaned into as easy of a process as it can be considering you are getting all kinds of metal objects put in your mouth over and over. Having Claire at the office is one of the best parts about going to the office because she is so competent, a gentle scraper, and will answer any questions with all the charm in the world (really, if you go, you’ll understand and agree!).
Another thing that’s great about the office is that they don’t use those painful X-​ray things that get popped into your mouth. Theirs are pretty painless and quick!
They provide parking validation in the building for up to 1 hour and 15 minutes. I hear that Dr. Mestman is really great with kids and that a lot of families will take their kids there as a result, but I haven’t experienced it firsthand as a guy in his 20’s. I have no trouble believing it though!
If you are looking for a great dentist in the Beverly Hills area, check out Dr. Mestman! It can be a little tough to get an appointment sometimes, but it’s only because she’s in such high demand because she does such a great job.
