A Belmont Dental Care

I love the dentist here– he does the best cleaning ever! Nice staff and always in and out!!! Great place! Highly recommend!

I received a dental cleaning about a year ago. The cleaning was not thorough and I still had plaque on my teeth when I left.
I prefer a more thorough cleaning.

Best dentist I have ever been to. The staff is friendly and Dr. Hosena is gentle and explains every step. He doesn’t try to talk you into unnecessary procedures.

Zero pain during procedure— I’m not crazy about going to the dentist but Dr. Hosena and his staff make you feel very comfortable and are super professional and friendly.
I will update after I get my crown installed next week. I don’t know what’s going to happen; hopefully it will go well. ;-) I have high confidence in this dental office!
UPDATE: Crown did settle in. No pain and all good.

LOVE IT! They are sooooo nice and friendly.

They said my insurance covered their services. Got a bill for $ 334 a few weeks later, just for a cleaning and x Rays. Not very happy about that. They should have checked my insurance before deciding to screw me with a huge bill. Won’t be coming back here again !

I realized I should update this review, as they are no longer open on Saturdays. I’ve been coming here now for almost five years and have had consistently pleasant visits every time. It’s been mostly routine cleaning during that time but I did have to get a filling replaced once and it was a breeze. Dr. Hosena is a truly caring dentist and I like his gentle, calm demeanor. I hope to continue to come to this office for many more years to come!

Great dentist! Had a great check up and really friendly staff! Everything was clean and professional. Would highly recommend!

each time I’ve been here, all good.
dr is nice and informative
makes you feel comfy
staff is friendly
parking lot but it’s only about 4 spots there share with cross fit& a grooming place I think
but plenty of street parking
small office
appointments are so far out because this place is so busy
but very much, worth the wait
I hate the dentist but I feel comfy and not scared to see dr hosena
After each major dental work done (ex: root canal, crown etc, dr hosena calls you later that evening to check on you and how you feel — very reassuring) I recommend this place to my family + friends

Wow! Everyone working here was incredibly kind, vocal and efficient. I had a terrible toothache, called the office and went in immediately. After filling out paperwork they had me in within a couple minutes, took my X-​rays and identified the problem. I came back a few hours later when they had an opening and the Dr. extracted my tooth within minutes. The nurse was sweetly coaching me through the discomfort and made me feel a lot better about my dental anxieties. The Dr. just called me, too, to check in on me personally.
Thank you! You guys are the greatest

In my opinion Dr. Hosena is the «best» dentist in Long Beach! He is very caring, calming and explained everything so I could understand. I appreciate him so much.
Bill and the whole office staff were so wonderful. I was treated like I was the only patient in the office. I loved their friendliness and smiles.
I love the office itself. The colors were so calming and beautiful. The office was also so pristine. It was an extra to have a television in front of me so I could watch the TV while I was waiting. The monitor was also used to show me the x-​rays.
I loved the vibe of the office, the staff and Dr. Hosena. I am so thankful to have such a great dentist!
I highly recommend Dr. Hosena.

I suffer from debilitating dental anxiety. The last time I attempted to have repair started on my rapidly-​declining teeth I nearly punched the nurse – despite high levels of nitrous oxide. Needless to say I was wary at attempting to find a new dentist upon my move to Southern California.
Dr. Hosena and his staff are some of the nicest, most genuine medical professionals I know – and I know a fair amount of them.
I recommend for anyone wanting a pleasant dental experience, even if you’re phobic.

Best dentist I’ve ever had I never have
Any pain when I leave Dr Hosana I love watching the tv while he works on my teeth

I can honestly say, I enjoy coming here. They are like family to me. I called to make an appointment for my crown. It needed to be re cemented. I was expecting a few days to have room but they made a slot for me due to it being an emergency.
I will always be forever grateful to have some a good support and educated team to take care of my smile
Look at all the Unilocal reviews and please try this office out. They are very good at making an appointment as soon as possible but with so many patients that love going back they will try to make it happen for everyone.

I have never enjoyed going to the dentist. In fact, I’ve dreaded it for most of my life. Since I started going to Belmont Dental Care I have not dreaded my regular dental check ups.
Appointments go quickly, hygienists don’t shame you for not flossing, and Dr. Hosena explains everything to you without being patronizing.
Only downside, appointments are hard to come by. They book up months in advance. When I’ve needed work done sooner, however, they squeezed me in.
In the past they also offered to work with me in terms of billing when I didn’t have health insurance.

I’ve finally found a dentist who truly has passion and cares for his patients. I’ve had a regular cleaning, deep cleaning, and tooth extraction done here in the past few months and each experience is as good as the last. Dr. Hosena has a very soothing effect on me and that helps relieve any anxiety from the treatments. His assistants are also very knowledgable and expertly guide you and answer your questions.
I was fearing the tooth extraction but it happened so fast and without any discomfort that I felt foolish for waiting so long to get it done. He even called me later that afternoon to check up on me after the procedure. Not his assistant or desk workers but Dr. Himself. I can’t say enough about my satisfaction with this place. Dr. Hosena is such a professional that I will always come back for dental work.

I love this dentist, I was referred by a friend and Dr. Hosena is great! He’s very down to earth and upfront about any work you may need done now or later. He congratulates you on taking good care of your teeth if your checkup results are good. He’s friendly and communicative, the staff is always friendly. It feels very much like the kind of local neighborhood dentist you want to go to.
A good tip here: This dentist is busy and appointments get booked weeks in advance. Try to keep your appointment times and not reschedule or cancel appointments because you may have to wait several weeks.

When a person is drilling holes in your mouth, it is important to know you can trust that person for two reasons. 1) You want to know he is one of the better people in his profession so chances of messing up are minimized and 2) So if he tells you «You have 4k in work that needs to be done» you can trust its legitimacy. I feel Unilocal reviews are the best way to determine that. I went to Dr. Hosena because I felt he had the best Unilocal reviews of any dentist in Long Beach. So thank you Unilocal community!
I told him straight up «I haven’t been to a dentist in nine years. I anticipate having lots of issues. I just need to know the priority and cost of each». In the end (to my surprise) nothing required work and I walked away only paying the very affordable exam/​cleaning cost.
Hosena & everyone I interacted with was very friendly as well.
Note: Got to me extremely quickly.
Note 2: He doesn’t have a website

Can’t review the services because I couldn’t get an appointment. I called 12÷22÷14, during normal business hours, and left a message. No one got back to me. I called on 12÷23÷14 and got no answer and decided to not leave a message. I called a third time at 4pm thinking ‘hey it’s cool, I get they’re busy’ and finally spoke to a live representative.
No availabilities until the end of February? Even for quick and easy things like a NEW CLIENT just needing a routine cleaning? I don’t know guys, but this didn’t leave such a good taste in my mouth (pun intended) thinking ‘what if this had been an emergency?‘
First impressions are huge for me, and this place definitely was a let down.
Edit to say: in my line of work (also medical) we have special slots for new clients only. Maybe Belmont should implement this instead of turning away potential lifetime clients.

Recommended by my co worker so I had to give Belmont dental a try since I haven’t been impressed by my last few dentists. I made an appointment and was so surprised it wasn’t until the following month. That must mean they are popular.
The day came for my appointment and YES! I’m definitely impressed. The staff are all very friendly. They introduced themselves to me and told me what to expect for my visit. Everything was explained to me thoroughly at every step of care. I can see that Dr. Hosena is very honest and cares about my well being. Usually other doctors try to get me to do deep cleaning so they can charge me more even when I didn’t need it. Dr. Hosena explained what he was doing while cleaning and gave me instructions to keep up my cleaning every 6 months. In addition, he always made sure the pressure was appropriate and didn’t cause pain. He even put vaseline on my chapped lips to make sure they don’t bleed while he works on my mouth. So detail oriented, gotta love it.
