Stefanie Phelps, DDS

I wish I could give 6 stars. If you are afraid of dentists this is the dentist you need. She and her staff are warm and welcoming. I have never waited longer than 5 minutes (less time to stress). She gave me hope when no other dentist would. She said we will save as many teeth as we can instead of we have to pull them all. She kept her word only 4 implants. Dr. Phelps helped me on all my dental issues. My daughter who was afraid of dentists loves her. She brought back our smiles.

I had a great experience at Dr. Phelps’s office ! I had not been to a dentist in many years (just recently got insurance– woo hoo !) and was a little nervous about hearing any bad news, but I was put totally at ease. The atmosphere was great– as I lounged in my dental chair I had a nice view of the Hollywood Hills, and also a TV to watch. Lindsey was my hygienist and she was wonderful. Super friendly and very skilled with my teeth cleaning. I had some adhesive on one of my teeth from way back when I had braces 10 plus years ago– no other dentist/​hygienist has ever done anything but Lindsey noticed and took the time to remove it. Thanks! :) I felt no pain at all. It was almost relaxing! I just got to zone out and watch TV as she went to work on my teeth. She kept telling me I had excellent hygiene and despite not seeing a dentist in years, my teeth were in great shape!
Dr. Phelps came in after to see my teeth and she was super personable and funny. I love her and can’t wait to go back. Front office staff was stellar as well– from when I made my appointment over the phone, to checking in, checking out– everything was just fantastic!
My teeth feel so clean!

This is the best place ever. This is coming from someone who had major anxiety about dental work due to a bad experience on a cavity several years ago. I didn’t go back to the dentist for 3 years and was super anxious about going. I found Dr. Phelps on Unilocal after doing some research to find someone that would be sensitive to my anxiety and past experience. Not only is Dr. Phelps amazing, her entire staff is wonderful. The front desk gals are always in great spirits, happy to see you when you arrive, and happy to answer any questions (even if you call several times like myself, lol). I ended up having to have the SAME cavity removed, re-​drilled and recapped (ugh!!). I was super nervous about it but Dr. Phelps walked me through the whole process to ease my anxiety. It was quick, painless, and everyone in the office did all they could to make me feel comfortable. It was so easy! I’ve been back twice now and enjoy the experience every time.

Dr. Stefanie Phelps is a godsend! She definitely helped me overcome ridiculous dental fears (I had some traumatic experiences as a kid). I found her through my previous workplace and hadn’t checked her out until a good friend of mine chipped her tooth and visited Dr. Phelps. My friend came back looking good as new! You couldn’t tell where her chip was and the coloring matched perfectly. So naturally, when I chipped my tooth I called Dr. Phelps’ office and the staff was just so lovely and accommodating and calmed me down — I was a nutcase… totally thought I broke a tooth.
All the paperwork is done online and for someone who is school full time and works full time, that is amazing! Finding the paperwork was super easy and her website does a wonderful job explaining where everything is and if you still have trouble her staff is SUPER friendly and direct you in the right direction. Once I finished the paperwork and scheduled my appointment, they called to confirm and let me know the cancellation policies in case last minute meetings or emergencies came up.
When I went in for my first appointment, I was in the waiting room for about 5 minutes and as soon as I called back I was distracted by the TV. Dr. Phelps came over and greeted me and she remembered who I was and where I was from. She asked me how school was going and fixed my chipped tooth quickly and efficiently. She also made sure that the repairs did not interfere with my Invisalign trays and made sure I was comfortable and not hurting during the procedure.
After my first visit, I chipped the same tooth and then my left incisor because I wasn’t used to my new bite (getting ortho work as well). She totally humored me and fixed me up super quick. She and her staff understand the crazy schedule I work with and try to work with me to their best of their abilities and so far have been super, SUPER helpful!
Dr. Phelps and her staff are AMAZING! And they are all so beautiful inside and out! They seriously make my day and always make sure that I am good to go before I step out the door.

It is really hard to find a good dentist. One that you can trust. I found one.

Dr. Phelps is the very best. I started seeing her about two years ago to begin treatment for Invisalign. Her office is great — clean, modern and the most amazing staff. They’re organized, prompt and really friendly. Dr. Phelps is the most helpful, funny, friendly and comforting dentist you will ever visit. She explains everything so well and is always concerned about how comfortable you are. My Invisalign treatment is now complete and my teeth are healthier and more beautiful than I could ever imagine. Dr. Phelps is trustworthy and honest. I dread the day I every have to move from LA and find a new dentist.

What a great place. The whole staff always remembers me and treats me with such a positive attitude. Couldn’t ask for a better dentist/​hygienist/​receptionist. Everyone is great.

Great to see how personable Dr Phelps is on these reviews, but I wouldn’t know since she wasn’t even in today for my first visit and I was not told that ahead of time. I Showed up for my first visit today after waiting nearly 6 months for an appointment and was told Dr Phelps wasn’t in and doesn’t always see first-​timers, anyway. Seems like kind of a diva move to me.
I was told the hygienist evaluates a patients x-​ray to see if there are reasons for a follow up with the dentist, and while I’m sure she’s lovely, there’s a reason I want to see a dentist for my oral care evaluation and not a hygienist, and it has something to do with the difference of around 8 – 10 years of education. I asked if a follow up visit with dr phelps would have out of pocket costs and the office didn’t seem to know the answer.
The office seemed surprised that I was irritated to not be able to see the dentist for a scheduled dentist appointment (they seemed to think I was only there for a cleaning), and when I told them that for a rescheduled appointment I’d need to be seen at 8am due to work, they got slightly testy back with me. While they rescheduled the appointment, I decided to cancel.
I understand if it’s a 5^th or 6^th visit and the dentist is unavailable, but not being in the office for a first visit is bad business in my opinion. And kind of lazy. I’ve been to dentists where all first timers actually get a cleaning from the dentist themselves, just so they can get to know you. Not here. I’m sure she’s a wonderful dentist, but this doesn’t work for me and my dental needs.

I can’t even begin to say enough amazing things about Dr. Phelps. I am terrified of the dentist and was referred to her by a previous dentist that specialized in oral surgical procedures. When I started going a couple years back, i remember being so terrified (ok i still am terrified of the dentist but thats besides the point) and really embarrassed by having to confess that i was a HUGE baby about my dental visits. I have had several bad experiences before coming to Phelps, so my anxiety is always high when its time to see a dentist.
But Dr. Phelps assured me she would do her best to make my visits pleasant. She has definitely lived up to her promise, as she is the kindest, most gentle dentist I have had. She has a way of making me not freak out. Her work is amazing and there isn’t anyone else i would rather go to.

I was referred to Stefanie by a friend who raved about her, and now I know why.
–Forms are all electronic, submitted online ahead of time
–Very little waiting time
–Very pleasant staff
–Chairs have temperature and lower back massage controls (perfect distraction)
–TV mount moves with the light so you can stay glued (i.e. distracted) almost the entire time
–Extremely fast digital handgun for taking bite wing Xrays (no waiting while the person goes to the other room to click the shot while holding still)
–Very professional and absolutely no pushiness to have things done that don’t need to be done
Other notes: when I called, their first available appointment was 1.5 months away so I asked to be put on the list for any cancelled appointments. I was called less than 2 weeks later on a Friday for a Monday cancellation. Also, there is free 2 hr parking less than a block away.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Phelps and her staff. Dr. Phelps was referred to me by a good friend during a dental emergency. I had yet to find a dentist in Los Angeles that I trusted, until now. Dr. Phelps is amazing. She is thorough, professional and her work is excellent. She tells it like it is and won’t try and up-​sell you on more dental work if it isn’t necessary. Everyone there is kind and professional. Dr. Phelps fixed the chip on my front tooth and it looks like it was never there.

I’m new to LA and was nervous about finding a new dentist. I picked right! Dr. Phelps has been wonderful. I’ve had 2 issues that needed immediate attention and I had no problem getting last minute appointments. They are very understanding and helpful.

The only Dentist that I kind of enjoy going to! She is so nice and sweet and the hygienists are gentle! Great comfy chairs with a beautiful view of the hills! I think Ive turned at least 6 friends on to her!

Dr. Phelps is AMAZING! I had a pretty traumatizing year of dental experiences and when I finally found this office my life got so much easier. Their pricing is fair and reasonable, everyone in the office is really nice and great to work with, and Dr. Phelps does great work and is always smiling and cheerful — which is a necessity when you have many hours of dental work to get done. I highly recommend this office. Oh, and parking is easy and inexpensive.

Let me start with this, I absolutely HATE going to the dentist. I have been to many in LA … and there’s usually a reason I never go back. This is the absolute best office I’ve ever been too. The hygienist, Lindsay, is so sweet and very gentle and nice. Dr. Phelps is really nice too, down to earth, personable. They aren’t outrageously priced, they accept most insurances, and they are able to explain why they are doing the treatments they need to in a way that is understandable. I will never go to another dentist again.

I have been floating between dentists in Beverly Hills for over three years. My wife just started seeing Stefanie and was really happy with her. I decided to give her a try and loved how patient and detail oriented she was. She is very talented and takes her time to make sure everything is explained to your satisfaction. If you are looking for a new dentist give her a try!

It took me six years in LA to find the right dentist. Did I want to keep searching? No. It’s a pain in the butt to try another dentist. The first dentist actually was fine, but he retired. His replacement for that practice was creepy. I tried to schedule with his partner once, but he took over the appointment and continued to be creepy. Then I went to a highly Unilocal-​rated «serene» dental clinic. They were gentle, all right– I couldn’t feel the cleaning at all which seemed ineffective. Plus they told my boyfriend he needed 14 cavities filled when a second opinion said zero. So then I tried another well-​rated dentist who sang into my mouth while she worked on me so that I had to taste her breath.
Finally, someone recommended Dr. Phelps. Cue the singing angels– she is the perfect dentist. She is sweet, thorough, and smart. She takes her time to explain and listen. She’s conscientious about what to do but you don’t ever feel she’s doing more than is necessary. Her kindness feels GENUINE. Her staff (OMG, don’t even get me started on the backstory of those from the previous dentists!!) are courteous without being annoying– super professional and helpful.
Plus, the office is tricked out! Each dental chair has it’s own tv on a swivel! She gives you a little ipod to zone out the drilling noises if you want. The views of Beverly Hills are lovely, and there is free 2 hour public parking lot a block away.
Nobody likes going to the dentist, but visiting Dr. Phelps is the best it’s going to be.

I have been going to the same dentist half of my life and after coming to Dr. Phelps just once (to fix my chipped front tooth), I found myself so at home booking my next teeth cleaning in a few months with Olivia as I walked out not even realizing what I was doing.
**Beware: you may, as I just did, leave your current dentist/​orthodontist for this office.
Dr. Phelps is so knowledgeable in what she does and walks you through everything she is doing step by step so you don’t have to ask or wonder. You can also tell she loves her profession and somehow makes the whole dentist experience pleasant. Is this possible? It is!
The office is super clean, with pleasant natural light, with the latest modern equipment & a front desk that is very helpful and sweet. I have family that have got their veneers from her and their teeth look perrrrfect now. Before they were a lil horsey. They were. She’s honest and will fix them right up for you.
I am strangely looking forward to my next dentist visit…
She’s great!

Stefanie is hands down the BEST there is in dentistry. Seriously, my colleague referred me when I had cracked one of my crowns. She was able to fit me in same day, even though I was a new patient. Once I arrived, the staff was very welcoming and personable. Stefanie is super gorgeous and stylish; I have yet to meet a dentist that rocks the cutest heels in the office! :-) She talks you through every procedure that she is doing and ensures that you are doing ok.
Real talk here… We all HATE getting shots in our mouth, I cringe at the thought, but she has manage to find a way to give you shots and you do NOT even notice. OMG, I thought I was dreaming, seriously I didn’t even know that this was possible as I have always dreaded going to the dentist. Moreover, let’s talk about drilling sound :-(, she gave me headphones and I didn’t even hear that awful noise which took the anxiety and fear away. Thank you dentist angels for sending Stefanie!
I now look forward to going for my routine check ups as we talk smack about Housewives of OC and current life events… She makes my appointments fun!
Don’t waste your time with another dentist; make an appointment with Stefanie NOW! You can thank me later, true story.

Stephanie is by far the best dentist I’ve ever had. She is concerned in a real way and takes the time to make sure you are getting the best care possible. My teeth have improved since seeing her (not just maintained). She is generous and you never get the sense she is just looking to make more money off you. She actually took the time to send me a recommendation of the best electric tooth brush out there (see below)…
«Best electric toothbrush is the Oral B SmartSeries 5000. It has small blue tooth monitor that shows you how long you are brushing for (should be 2 minutes!!) and also will blink at you if you are brushing too hard.
It will also ‘stutter stop’ every 30 seconds to indicate that you should move on to the next quadrant. Four quadrants in the mouth and hence the 2 minutes to fully brush.
Also, remember with electric brushes you do NOT have to ‘scrub’. The brush is doing the work for you and you are using it by positioning it at a 45 degree angle towards the gumline. Just positioning, not scrubbing!»
