Steven J Kend DDS & Matthew S Thunberg DDS

I had a great experience at this office. I needed a filling, and they got me in as soon as my schedule allowed. Everyone was very nice, they even offered me a blanket to keep me warm during the procedure (which has never happened to me before). I also appreciated that they took their time with me. I never felt as if I was just a number that was being rushed out of the office for the next patient. They made sure everything was done right and the doctor checked in with me afterward to see how I was feeling. It’s nice to come to an office with just a couple of doctors. So many offices are groups and you feel as though you are part of a production line, but not here. They maintain the doctor/​patient relationship that I find is missing at so many other offices. Most importantly, the filling was done right, and I no longer have pain in that tooth. I have definitely found a doctor I will stick with. Thank you Dr. Thunberg!

Dr Kend is the BEST!!! I have been to different dentist over the years and never was happy with the work and so I asked my son’s Pediatric dentist, Dr. Greenstadt (who is the best too!) who he would recommend and he said Dr. Kend. I have had everything redone in my mouth. All the silver filling and crowns replaced and what I especially liked, was I had to redo the veneers on my 2 front teeth that were done 20 years ago.. With precise precision, and a perfectionist I would call him, he did a beautiful job. PERFECT! I get complememts all the time asking «who is my dentist? Your teeth are so beautiful! I tell them, Dr. Kend in Torrance. He is the best! My son whose grown up now, goes to him and he just finished a dental implant on him that was fairly extensive, coordinating with his other dentist at UCLA, who is his friend, and I cannot tell you how perfect it looks. My son is 23 now, in the armed forces and going to UCLA and can smile now without being self conscious. I cannot say enough about the staff too. They are so sweet and have been there forever as a team. I am very particular when it comes to having work done on my face and and mouth and I have 100% trust in Dr. Kend. Highly recommended. Been a patient for over 10 years now and will be til the day he retires which I hope is never.

Wonderful! I am so happy and at ease to have found Dr. Kend, he’s a blessing.
For the first time, I actually enjoyed my dental procedure. For all you out there… it’s not so bad after all. Still smiling. Angelica C.

Dr. Kend has been my dentist for over 35 years. I would highly recommend his office for any dental work or problems you might have.

Front desk person was extremely rude and treated me as though I was below her. What has happened to common sense and customer service in this day and age? Will never come back or recommend this dentist to anyone!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Kend since I was a teen and have always had the most pleasant experiences — I’ve had a long standing relationship with cavities and used to have the most painful drilling experiences when I was a kid (maybe it was the doctor, maybe it was how the cavity was… I dunno) but with Dr. Kend and his team it’s easy-​breezy. Granted, I shouldn’t be getting cavities anymore (I floss like an OCD maniac — effects of never wanting a cavity again) but in the happenstance I get anymore I know the procedure will be painless, easy and done right.
I see his partner, Dr. Thunberg, now and he is just as great. Super nice, takes his time to talk about what he’s going to do, and really seems like he puts the patient first (I don’t have dental insurance so he asked the staff to break up my appointments so it’d be as easy on my pocket book as possible — thank you, because keeping my sparkly whites beautiful is not cheap).
Aside from the doctors the dental hygienists and receptionists are so sweet! The equipment they use is top notch and the office is easily located in the Dental Arts Plaza.
Usually I end my positive reviews with «I’ll definitely be back!» but let’s just say, I hope I won’t have to be back too often but when I do return — I know I’ll be in good hands!
