Dautremont, Joseph DDS

He charged $ 1,100 for a partial crown. He diagnosed a root canal on a tooth 5 years ago — the tooth not only hasn’t had a root canal yet, it doesn’t even have a cavity. It’s a healthy tooth that happens to have a stain on it. It appears that Dr. Dautremont is chasing the money instead of helping his patients have healthy teeth.

I do not often write Unilocal reviews.
Dr. Dautremont is the best! I wouldn’t think about visiting a different dentist unless It was just too far to commute. That is likely not the case as I currently live in the North Hollywood vicinity and gladly commute to see Dr. Dautremont in Woodland Hills.
It is so important to feel a strong sense of trust and ethics in a doctor. I’ve had many procedures done and typically get a cleaning every quarter. Yes, every quarter! With regards to the procedures, they have only been performed as a last step to prevent what would then be irreversible damage. I’ve never in my life had a cavity (knock on wood); However, my gums have been another story. If a procedure is necessary and it they have been for me; I am the one to blame as I’ve let my teeth/​gums get to the point of needing work done.
Gerri (my hygienist), Linda and Chansa and the rest of the staff are to be commended as well! I hope I spelled their names correctly.
Oh… and with response to a review below commenting on the price of services; you get what you pay for! I’ve learned from a very young age about being being «Penny Wise and Pound Foolish». So many things in life are replaceable. Your teeth are not one of them! I will gladly pay a fair price for services that I know are top notch. Think about the alternative.
Nobody likes to go to the dentist! Rest assure that if you do see Dr. Dautremont you will be treated honestly, ethically, professionally, and with the utmost respect.

I have been coming to Dr. Dautremont for over 6 years. Dr. Dautremont has always been so professional and his staff is wonderful — whether I need to make/​change an appointment, there are always very accommodating.
Dr. Dautremont takes the time to explain everything in detail. He is extremely knowledgeable. For some reason I feel that I am in really good hands — I know that he knows what he is doing.
While I do not love coming to the dentist, I feel very comfortable here. This is a great practice. I recommend it to everyone.

I have been going to Dr. Joe since I was a kid. He is the absolute best. I recently started bringing my son and he is so kind and patient with him. He is only six, but actually LOVES going to the dentist because everyone makes him feel so special and confident. Gerri, the hygenist, is wonderful with me and my son and does a great job. I can’t recommend this office more for attentive, patience, and excellent service.

We all call Dr. Jo Dr. Smiley in my family. He is always happy and you can tell he enjoys what he does. My family has been seeing him since the early 1990’s and we’ve never gone anywhere else. He is empathetic and does not rush when doing procedures. He is extremely careful. I have anxiety and am extremely sensitive and sometimes the novicane doesn’t work. He will sit there patiently and give me shot after shot until I am comfortable and it works. He has always been sensitive to my issues and I am very grateful for that.

After moving to LA and going through a handful of different dentists, Dr Dautremont and staff are #1 in LA !

Dr. Dautremont is an amazing Dentist! I switch to him based on family and friends reviews. I will never go to anyone but him!

Was recommended by a friend who loved the service, but his prices are significantly higher and every visit feels like a painful experience.

Dr. Dautremont obtained my consent for an extraction while I was under anesthesia for deep-​cleaning. Initially, he cut into the wrong side of my mouth as the x-​rays were mounted backwards. Then, while trying to extract the tooth, he broke my jaw. I spent 5 days in excruciating pain, calling his emergency line, being prescribed stronger and stronger pain killers, and then, eventually, being ignored by him. Finally, I waited at his office and demanded to be seen. He asked the receptionist to refer me to an oral surgeon and left. I went through 2 surgeries, and almost 6 months with my mouth wired shut. He never checked on me, and never even apologized. Later, he lied under oath about the situation. I recommend finding a different dentist.

Lets face it, no one is a fan of going to the dentist but its a part of life. When it comes down to being professional, kind, humorous and attentive Dr. Joe is the way to go.
