Alexander Kalmanovich, DDS

I want to thank Dr. Kalmanovich and everyone in his office for yet another fantastic visit. This time, I needed a new crown and a filling, and I was very happy when the crown was completed in a little over two hours, and was a pain-​free experience. Dr. Alex took time to ease all of my fears and answer all of my questions in an friendly and professional manner. After Dr. Barbara retired, I naturally had some anxiety about the new young dentist who took over her practice. But this anxiety was short lived when I realized what a great dentist Dr. Alex is, and how warm and friendly Gina, Cristina and the rest of his amazing staff are. Plus, Dr. Alex does not recommend procedures unless they are absolutely necessary, and knowing this gives me great peace of mind. He is a truly wonderful and exceptional dentist, and I can’t imagine going to anyone else.

A few years ago I had a bad experience with a hygienist at another dentist, and ever since have had crazy anxiety about going to the dentist. To the point where I would put off a cleaning as long as humanly possible. After going 2 years without seeing a dentist, my mom made me an appointment with Dr. K, and I was anxious as always. But I had absolutely no reason to be.
He was amazing, explaining all the cool gadgets and things he has (even digital xrays! I thought that was cool), and when he found cavities he took the time to show me how he knew that is was a cavity and what he thought we should do. He even had a little camera that he used to take pictures of each cavity, and he showed me exactly what he was seeing. It really helped knowing that he could show and explain each one, as I’ve heard horror stories of dentists faking cavities just to jack up the price.
I ended up having to go see him two days in a row, but I think he has finally cured me of my dentist anxiety. His anesthetics were great, and I really never felt a thing. I’ve already been raving about him to the rest of my family, and would recommend him to anyone that needs to see a dentist for any reason. He is amazing!
Tatiana, Christina, and Gina make the whole office friendly and a safe place. They’re all great, and for once I actually can’t wait to go back and get my teeth cleaned again!

Dr. K and his staff (Gina, Tatiana, and Christina) are amazing! They are so friendly and make me feel very comfortable every time I’m there. They also build a relationship with you and have a family approach which is very different than any dentist I’ve ever been too. I absolutely hate getting shots and Dr. K does such an amazing job that I didn’t even feel the shots one bit! He is also very informative and makes sure you understand exactly what’s going to be done or what may need to be done in the future. Thumbs up to all of you at Laguna Family Dentistry! See you for my next cleaning!

As usual, I had a pleasant experience here today! From start to finish, everyone here is a pro! Currently I live in San Diego, and drove an hour to come back to see Dr Kalmanovich and his associates. Once you find a dentist like him that you trust, you won’t go to anyone else. And, you can’t beat their location in the heart of the village. Having my teeth cleaning today was a great excuse to watch the sunset after my appointment from Laguna cliffs!

The visit to this office was a great experience. Furnished with the modern equipment and tastefully decorated office, very pleasant personnel — from welcoming Gina to doctor’s assistants, and of course always smiling, with the best manners and very knowledgeable Dr. Kalmanovich. Five stars to you, guys!

I rarely, rarely give 5 stars. I am brand new to the area and relied solely on fellow Unilocalers in my quest for a great family dentist. I found him. He is hands down (and so far after 2 visits for me and one for my little girl) the best dentist I could have hoped for and the best dentist I have had in a long time. Dr. Kalmanovich is truly a gem. He is a caring and thorough dentist. He took his time to listen to my concerns and checked in on me after a procedure on the weekend. So happy I found him! Highly recommend him for a long term family dentist. The office staff is also wonderful — professional, friendly, and lovely people.

Chipped a tooth while on vacation in Laguna. I called and received prompt and professional (yet friendly) service. I received a thorough diagnosis obtained through the expert use of state-​of-​the-​art instruments, and was offered several treatment options. This dentist is extremely knowledgeable, skilled and gentle — very personable, too. I wish he were in my home town. I was grateful that they were so kind and welcoming to this tourist. Thanks!

Very serious and caring dentist.
I came with extreme pain due to a bad surgery done in SF the week before.
Dr Kalmanovich gave me an appointment the same day.
He examined me and noticed there was something abnormal going on. He referred me to a very good endodontist specialist and made sure he would see me straight away.
His staff was very nice, caring, and helpful with all the paperwork and appointments.
Definitely recommend this dentist.

I just moved to Laguna and woke up one morning with some tooth pain. I spoke to Gina at the front desk explained my issue; she got me in the same day. While I was there I got my teeth cleaned by Cristina who is really an exceptional hygienist. I felt like she took the time needed rather than some of the «fly through it» jobs I’ve gotten in the past elsewhere. The Doctor seemed knowledgeable and his approach made sense. The office is equipped with updated technology which made it easy for him to show his findings and explain reasons for his recommended treatment plan.
Overall as good of an experience you can get from a trip to the dentist. Thanks!

Best dentist I have ever been to! He is competent and makes sure he is gentle. He takes his time doing an outstanding job and makes sure you are comfortable during each task. His staff is phenomenal! Will be returning for all of my dental work and recommending all family and friends.

New patient and I had a wonderful and thorough visit. Dr Alex was great and his RDH Christina was awesome! They have a new client for sure! Very impressed.

Wow! This dentist has latest technology in his office! I got a crown, and all in 1 office visit. The crown was made right there in the office

As a person who generally gets anxious having dental work (due to a long history of braces, oral surgery, etc) I was pleasantly surprised by Dr. K’s office, staff, technique and overall experience. He uses the latest technology, is very thorough and his whole hygienist staff is fantastic. Hoping to stick around in the area so I can make this my go to office!

Very nice experience, everyone that works there was very kind and the office was a very relaxing environment.

I’ve been going here for a couple years now. Dr. Kalmanovich has a great bed side manner and his staff is also very easy to work with.
Something else I’m impressed by is his investment in technology. I’ve been to many dentists that have not updated with the times where Dr. Alex has moved forward with digital XRays and some kind of tooth lathe.
Anyway can’t recommend him high enough.

This is a great Dental Office! I am a former Dental Assistant so very particular about who I trust inside my mouth. But I have found a professional with modern equipment, technique and attitude. Dr K needed to redo an old crown of mine and he was able to do the prep, make the crown in the office and cement it all in one appointment. No temporary and waiting weeks for a dental lab to produce the crown then appointment to have it cemented. Nope! Not anymore. One simple appointment. NICE! And the crown fits perfectly w no issues.
The Hygienist was great! Office staff professional. Super happy with this Dental Office and highly recommend … Easy free parking to!

I went to Dr Alex Kalmanovich office in Laguna Beach for the first time this month. From my initial communication with the office and the reminders of my appointment both by text and email, left a flawless impression. As I entered, I was greeted by an amazing, upbeat professional staff from completing my paperwork until I was seated comfortably in the chair for my dental x-​rays. Dental x-​rays are one of the most uncomfortable experiences, but the assistant was encouraging, upbeat and so positive through the entire process that it flew by so fast.
Dr Kalmanovich came immediately following my xrays to do my oral examination. No time was lost! He went beyond the services expected of him and made recommendations for me to maintain the healthy teeth I have been fortunate to have. Dr. said something that was so subtle yet poignant to me. He said, «you should still get the gap between your bite fixed. You are in your forties and now people are living way into their 90s; 100s so you are not even half way through your life!» Though I knew that and felt the gap in my bite is a needless fix, upon hearing the remark so succinctly, it resonated and left me thinking.
Im probably one of the few who really enjoy getting my teeth professionally cleaned, and the dental hygienist was amazing. It was the first time I was educated about how to floss my teeth, as I think its something presumptively everyone knows to do well, but I learned I may not be following my teeth well enough with my floss. Its not just getting it on between the teeth and move around, but to follow the architecture of my teeth effectively into the gum lines in removing deposits of food and any possible build up. She asked as she was scraping my teeth, «do u use a manual or electric toothbrush?» I told her electric, but after she told me the angle to hold the brush and how to navigate it around my mouth, it dawned on my that even with the electric brush, I may possibly have been using it incorrectly. I think I may have been moving it around like a regular toothbrush rather than moving it so it clean on its own. The «simple» things that may not be so simple!
I left my appointment feeling my mouth so clean. I was impressively happy with the service and highly recommend Dr. Kalmanovich practice. If you are looking for a respectable and reliable doctor who honors your time and most importantly, your health, you must see Dr Kalmanovich. We live in Southern California where health and beauty are really important. Well, you found a reliable professional that you can count on!

Went to Dr. Kalmanovich’s beautiful office in Laguna Beach and was pleasantly greeted by Gina up at the front and wow what a sweet and intelligent person. Setting an appointment over the phone was a snap and she went the extra mile to make sure all my insurance stuff was in order.
The hygienist (my apologies I forgot her name) was gentle, thorough and informative throughout the entire cleaning process. I never had an ouch moment and she even softly scolded me about my lack of flossing which I must admit I do need to do more often.
I then received a full range of xrays and had a lot less gag moments from my previous experiences. Needless to say that’s a plus.
Then Dr. Kalmanovich comes over and we go over the exam portion and the discussion felt like it was an old high school friend I haven’t seen in years. Once we completed the exam I was pleased to hear there will be no procedures that need to be done and he even gave me a referral for my potential sleep apnea which I’ve been suffering from for years!
Then back to the front to Gina that once again was very good at setting my next appointment and I was out the door. Overall great experience, who knew going to the dentist would be such an easy and fun experience. I laughed and had a fun experience when normally it’s filled with pain and awkward silence. Not here… you’re constantly in a circle of great people communicating with you and attending to your needs.
I found a dentist office at last.

I had a toothache and I had to be seen immediately! I called three different places and no one was taking me. When I called Dr. Kalmanovich’s office, they were fully booked as well. But they squeezed me in because they knew I was hurting! How insanely thoughtful and considerate is that? I truly felt important. Gina was the receptionist and she couldn’t be more helpful. She guided me on how to get there and where to find parking. I had to call her twice. Then, I called her the third time cause I didn’t know how to get up to the office and she personally came out to come find me!
Dr. Kalmanovich saw me right away. Turned out my tooth was chipped a bit. I had to wait simply 15 minutes for him to take care of another patient and he took care of my chipped tooth the same day. I was incredibly relieved! You saved me an entire weekend of worries!
AND THEN, he even called me an hour later to check on how I was doing! I am so blown away. They truly went above and beyond and took care of me. It just warms my heart completely. Thank you! Alex was so personable and made me feel at ease about everything. He made my terrifying situation disappear within an hour.

«This was my first visit. I loved the location, the view from the dental chair, the X-​ray technician, the Dental Hygienist, the Dentist and Receptionist. Everyone was GREAT! The Dentist even noticed from my exam, that I suffer from Sleep Apnia and referred me to a doctor for further evaluation. No doctor nor previous dentist has ever noticed that or recommended that, which has always been of concern. My cleaning was great. I couldn’t be happier. I even found a parking spot right outside on a busy day (Monday at 2PM). Completely satisfied. Looking forward to my next appointment. Wait! Did I just say that? Well it’s true. I’m actually looking forward to my next dentist appointment.» :)
