Larry Rifkin is an amazing person. His stellar reputation as a cosmetic dentist is cemented by doctors all over Los Angeles. Larry is not only well respected - he’s well liked by other dentists. The week I came into the office, Larry was in an advanced artistic teeth waxing class, with a master ceramist. Larry is constantly seeking out ways to hone his skill. He fine tunes his practice to be the best. Larry excels at what he does so much, he impresses other dentists. I have mentioned his name around town, not just to dentists, but to other professionals and he is very well- known, held in high regard among the community and in the industry. 414 North Camden Drive is located in the nicest streets of Beverly Hills. It’s on a one way street. If you are driving, you’ll find the building on the right. Their parking structure is on the same side of the street. Its driveway is just after the building. Larry’s office is on the 12th floor. It’s the penthouse and it’s beautiful. What an awesome view. When you open the door to Larry’s office, you feel like you are home. Meagan is a beaming ray of sunshine greeting you at the front desk. The space is bright and cheery. It’s a spacious and clean environment with fresh flowers that smell incredible. And a gorgeous view. The view is an overhead of the stunning palm tree lined streets in Beverly Hills. It is beautiful from every room. You can tell when you first meet Larry he is excited to have you there. He is proud to be there. It is a peaceful welcoming office. Meagan is friendly and helpful. Larry is energetic and happy to see you. I cannot say enough good things about Larry. He cares for you as a patient the way he would a dear friend. The attention to detail stemming from this office extends not only to Larry’s superb dental work, but to handling client schedules, and attending to client needs. Larry is top notch in every facet of his work and business. Larry keeps some of his personal sculpture on display at the office. He will gladly show it you in this fresh inspiring environment. I came to Larry out of necessity. A front veneer had chipped from a set of 15 year old veneers. After considering time to get a new set of veneers, I had to fix the chip. I looked up Larry. He has a glowing reputation around town. Meagan got me an appointment at the earliest time possible. Larry took the time to show me what was going on with my tooth and discuss the likelihood of full replacement. He drew a picture for me and showed under the microscope what was going on with my tooth. He gave me an analysis of my current veneers. The detail in explanation is like seeing a topographical map of your tooth. Larry can show you on the screen what your teeth will look like. The porcelain is handcrafted. Larry is a true artisan. It is really something. I felt comfortable, informed, and ready to move forward. Larry has a long list of well known clients. People who need to be camera ready daily. When you work on camera and have view in the public eye, shoot film, TV, video, or do print ads, vou like to put your best smile forward. Larry gives them a smile they are confident and happy to have. He is a skilled sculptor, crafting beautiful handmade custom veneers. The beautiful model Chrissy Teigen, a legend and glorious gem calls Larry her dentist. Talented on camera actors Laurence Fishburne and Keanu Reeves call Larry their dentist. Medical professionals far and abroad have come to trust Larry and travel from all over the world to see him. On a TV episode of The Doctors, Larry can be seen gifting his services to a young woman in need. Be sure to visit the media section of Dr. Rifkin’s website for footage of Larry. He is a doctor with a heart. To say I was pleased with my visit to Larry’s office would be an understatement. Meagan was attentive to my needs. Larry made me feel welcome. I would return here. If you are traveling overseas or from out of state to see Larry, Beverly Hills is charming area to spend time in.

As a physician that administers cosmetic procedures I am extremely particular in who I have do procedures for me. Dr Laurence Rifkin came highly recommended by colleagues in the industry and my experience from start to finish was better than I could have imagined. His staff was extremely accommodating to my travel back and forth from SF to have Dr. Rifkin do my porcelain veneers. My communication with the office was seamless and even more importantly, Dr. Rifkin contacted me several times personally to follow-up during the process and answered my many emails with thoughtful , detailed answers to my questions. Most Importantly, Dr. Rifkins techniques and results are in my opinion, the best in Los Angeles. He is known for creating natural, not just Hollywood, smile makeovers and the level of detail that goes into each porcelain veneer with his onsite Laboratory is astounding. When I came in for my initial consultation he spent over an hour with me discussing treatment options and focusing on what I was looking to achieve. I felt that he really took the time to make sure he could deliver what I wanted. He had his lab technician prepare a beautiful rendering with my photograph of what my teeth could look like after his work. This helped me to visualize what the end result would be and reassured me that we were on the same page. This coupled with his background as a professional sculptor made me feel completely comfortable in allowing him to create a new smile for me. It took two simple appointments to have my teeth prepared and finished. The experience was state of the art. Dr Rifkin uses a microscope to maximize magnification and attention to detail and minimize patient discomfort. I slept through the procedure and woke up with a beautiful new smile. I was not in any pain afterwards. His staff were all pleasant and helpful. Working around my busy schedule and my flights to come there from out of town, getting me smoothies and always remaining attentive to my needs. The end result is beautiful. I highly recommend Dr. Rifkin and would encourage anyone looking to have porcelain veneers or cosmetic dentistry to schedule a consult with Dr. Rifkin even if it means flying in from out of town. Its worth it. Thank you so much, Dr. Rifkin!

I have had excellent experiences with Dr. Rifkin. He is extremely professional and capable. He takes the time to really get to know your teeth, and his diagnoses are very thoughtful. If possible, he makes every effort to treat any findings on the spot rather than having to schedule a new appointment. His office goes the extra mile to keep the patient informed and aware of whats going on- he showed me on a computer my current dental situation during my check up and I was able to watch on a video screen while he replaced two fillings of mine (such an interesting thing to be able to see!). His replacement of my fillings was done in under 30 minutes and was painless, with no need for anesthetics. Going in for a cleaning, the dental hygienist was wonderful and very considerate. Since (hopefully) most dentist visits are just for a periodic cleaning, your experiences with other dental staff, from the hygienist to the receptionist to the technician, are nearly just as important as your experience with the dentist himself. Here, both Dr. Rifkin and his staff have excellent, friendly, and professional manners. One thing to note is that Dr. Rifkin does not take insurance. However, his front desk was more than happy to help fill out or process any claim forms I wanted sent to my insurance company. Going to the dentist can be stressful, however Dr. Rifkin and his staff make you feel as safe and comfortable as can be. All in all, Ive never had better dental experiences.
