El Segundo Beautiful Smiles

Fantastic place for dental work. Great professional staff; friendly and attentive to your needs. Easy to get to. Easy parking. This is the place to go for dental work.

Many things wrong here. Do not recommend.
First they balance bill you. If you don’t know what that is, look it up. Basically they bill you the full amount, then also bill your insurance the full amount, and you get stuck with the difference. So despite being in network for my insurance and the agreed rate for a back filling is 133, they were going to charge me 290 and not honor the network rates!
I went to them based on Unilocal reviews and the fact that they could get me in quickly for a cleaning new to the area. First sign of trouble was when the hygienist took half the time I am used to working on my teeth. I didn’t think I had improved my brushing and flossing that much since my last visit at my old dentist.
The next sign of trouble is that when I returned a week later to see Dr Cardona for an exam, they had lost all my x-​rays from my previous visit! After being adamant that they had already taken them and that I was not going to pay for them again, they decided to just take another panorama for free.
When seeing Dr Cardona, during the exam she determined that I needed 3 fillings. Now if that was the case, I would be willing to get the work done, but I was pretty wary of this place by this point. They then sent me to the office lady to get the financial arrangements for this work. This is where she pitches that if I pay for the full amount upfront with a check, she will give me a 5% discount and submit all the paperwork to my insurance and have them mail me a check for what they cover. If I had gone through with that plan, the insurance payment would have been a fraction of what they were wanting to charge.
They basically did not let me out without making an appointment to get this work done, I set one for a week later and then immediately got a second opinion at another dentist. The second dentist only wanted to do 2 of the teeth identified by Dr Cardona and honored my insurances in network rates. I have been happy with the new dentist ever since.
The office certainly does seem nice with fancy gadgets and plenty of people, so they are obviously making plenty of money off of clueless people getting balance billed. Funny thing is that I was on their email list for a while and got one soliciting Unilocal reviews, so here it is!

I love this office. Dr. Cardona is amazing and her staff is also. In addition to regular check ups, I’ve had fillings redone and a crown. All went really well and I was put at ease by them. They have handled an emergency where I chipped my front tooth and I was treated quickly and with the utmost professionalism and care. The office is spotless. They take care of business and do what is needed without trying to sell unneeded services. This is a dental office I trust and am very happy with. I am so grateful l found this office since I am usually nervous at dental offices.

Been going here for about a year. Service started out great but really took a down turn. I was lied to, was not tended to in a professional way and my phone calls were not returned. I will not come back to this office at all.

All is well with this place. I had my young kids, and although not kid friendly, the staff was very understanding. We can here for adult check up and save the kiddo’s dental experience for a pediatric dental office. The place is very clean, the parking was easy and the staff was awesome. Finally I think we found a local dentist.

My old gold crown fell off. My dentist office is closed. I need it cemented back on stat! Thank God I found Dr. Cardona’s office on Unilocal!Close to work and they were able to fit me in within the hour!
The ladies at the front desk were super nice and professional. And Dr. Cardona’s assistant was equally nice and professional. After a quick X-​ray, Dr. Cardona did her thing and we were done in no time!
Though I’m not a regular patient here, everyone made me felt welcome. Thank you Dr. Cardona and your staff!

Dr. Cardona and her entire staff are the B-​E-​S-​T.
She has a beautiful facility, cutting edge equipment, and is one of the most caring and professional teams I have ever met.
I have been going for various procedures over the last few months, and as much as going to the dentist can be scary, they make it enjoyable. :)
Thank you ES Beautiful Smiles team! :)

Dr. Cardona is wonderful! Does thorough and precise work. Everything is pain-​free and easy. Staff is incredibly personable and kind. Highly recommend!

This is undoubtedly the BEST DENTIST’S OFFICE EVER! I don’t know who makes the staffing decisions, but everyone is both personable and professional. Are they trained or born that way? I’ve only been going since late spring, but my smile has undergone a transformation and I look forward to more positive changes in the near future. My history with dentists’ office is not good — but at last I know that I have found a perfect fit for me & my family. Call them with the knowledge that you will not only be treated well, but also will receive excellent dental care.

AMAZING! I would highly recommend Sylvia Cardona and her team… They are extremely professional, state-​of-​the art technology, yet personable (TLC). I feel they are an «extended» family. The atmosphere is very comfortable and welcoming. Sylvia has done an outstanding job in selecting a fantastic team to complete her dental profession. Kudos!!!
I truly have the prettiest, whitest, brightest smile in town! Thank you!

Dr Cardona is very nice, professional and smart! The staff is great! They are very professional, courteous, nice oh yes they are smart too! The office is rather elegant. I am very happy with the work this Dentist has done on my teeth, and I plan to continue my visits with her concerning my dental needs. Thank you Dr Cardona and staff Nancy Hamilton

I would certainly recommend this dentist office. They are above the standard. Professional, clean and extremely caring and welcoming. I absolutely LOVE them. They are the best…

I definitely have an aversion to Dentists and have always had trouble committing to a regular cleaning and check-​up schedule. I feel like Sylvia and her team stand out because they are sensitive to that and don’t try to make things worse. I feel like my teeth and gums are in good hands.

I’ve been going here for 3yrs now. They are always very friendly and accomodsting to my ever changing schedule. I used to dread going in for a a cleaning but now I look forward to it. They work well with your insurance and I feel their pricing is in line.

I’ve been going to Dr. Cardona since I was in high school. She is a great dentist with a wonderful staff. I love that she remembers me and always has a smile on her face, even when she tells me that I need to floss more. The rooms are very bright with relaxing music pumped into each room. Sometimes it’s pop music which is fun.
I like that she uses state of the art equipment. It allows the appointments to go quickly. Using digital x-​rays and a mouth camera shows you exactly what’s wrong if you have any doubts of her or the her hygienists’ findings. I like that I get a postcard, a phone call and an email to remind me of my appointment.
Parking can sometimes be an issue but there is parking in the back.
I would recommend Dr. Cardona to anyone near El Segundo that needs a dentist.
