Dr. Arthur A. Kezian, DDS is located at 443 N Larchmont Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90004, in Larchmont Village.
The practice has an unusually strong online review record. Current sources show approximately 5.0/5 on Google with more than 1,200 reviews.
The practice describes itself as family-owned and says it has served generations of families for more than four decades.
Long-term relationships
One of the most noticeable themes in the review material is long-term patient loyalty.
Reviews frequently describe patients returning to the office for years.
One patient said they had been coming to the office for many years and described Dr. Kezian as an exceptional dentist they did not want to replace.
The long history of the practice also appears in its own description, which says it has served Los Angeles families for more than 40 years.
For visitors, long-term patient reviews are useful because they offer a perspective beyond a single first appointment.
Explanations
Patients frequently praise the dentist for explaining treatment.
The practice’s review material contains comments about detailed explanations and patients feeling informed about their dental care.
This is particularly important for cosmetic and restorative dentistry, where several treatment options may be possible.
Cosmetic dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is a significant part of the practice’s services.
The office lists procedures including veneers, whitening and cosmetic bonding. It also showcases before-and-after examples involving veneers, bleaching, crowns and implants.
Reviews on external platforms include positive experiences with teeth whitening.
A RealSelf patient, for example, described a whitening appointment as comfortable and said the staff made the process easy.
Visitors considering cosmetic dentistry should remember that results vary between patients. Online photographs and reviews cannot guarantee a particular cosmetic outcome.
Dental implants
Implant dentistry is another prominent part of the practice’s public profile.
The practice states that Dr. Kezian has completed extensive continuing education in implant dentistry and provides implant-related services.
Review-analysis material also includes positive patient comments about implants and complex dental work.
Patients considering implants should ask about the entire treatment sequence, including surgery, healing, bone grafting if necessary, the implant crown and follow-up.
Emergency dentistry
Emergency care appears prominently in the practice’s public information.
The practice describes itself as offering emergency dental care, including implant-related emergency services.
Review analysis also identifies positive comments from patients who say they were able to obtain prompt treatment when urgent problems occurred.
This may be useful for people experiencing sudden tooth pain, damage or other urgent problems.
Family dentistry
Although cosmetic and implant services are prominent, the practice also provides general and family dentistry.
The practice describes itself as family-owned and operated, and the public service information includes routine dental care, fillings, crowns, examinations and cleanings.
This is consistent with reviews from long-term patients who describe returning for routine care.
Office environment
The review material generally presents the office as comfortable and patient-oriented.
The practice’s own description emphasizes a caring environment and a neighborhood/family atmosphere.
Patients frequently mention the staff’s caring attitude and professionalism.
Staff
The staff receives substantial praise.
Review summaries frequently mention employees who are caring, friendly and helpful.
This matters because the office has several dentists and support staff, so the overall patient experience isn’t based exclusively on Dr. Kezian.
Technology
The practice uses modern dental technology.
Public information identifies digital X-rays and CEREC dentistry, along with implant-related technology and cosmetic services.
CEREC can be used for certain same-day or expedited restorative procedures, although whether it is appropriate depends on the individual case.
The family practice
One distinctive feature is that Dr. Arthur Kezian is not the only dentist associated with the practice.
Public records identify Arthur Kezian, Michael Kezian and Steven Kezian as dentists associated with the family practice.
Visitors should therefore confirm which dentist they are scheduled to see if they have a preference.
Negative and mixed reviews
The overall Google rating is exceptionally high, but it is still important not to treat a 5.0 rating as proof that every patient has an identical experience.
External platforms contain some less-positive experiences.
For example, RealSelf currently shows four reviews with an overall 4.0 score, including three five-star reviews and one one-star review.
That is a much smaller sample than the Google review population and should not be treated as representative of all patients.
The broader Google record remains overwhelmingly positive, but visitors should still evaluate the dentist according to the specific procedure they require.
Who may find the reviews useful?
The review material is especially relevant to people researching:
- Family dentistry
- Cosmetic dentistry
- Veneers
- Teeth whitening
- Dental implants
- Crowns
- Restorative dentistry
- Emergency dental treatment
- Long-term dental care
Questions to ask before cosmetic or implant treatment
For extensive procedures, visitors should ask:
- What are the alternatives?
- How long will the complete treatment take?
- Is temporary work required?
- What is included in the quoted price?
- What happens if an adjustment is required?
- Does insurance cover any part of the treatment?
- Are laboratory costs included?
- What follow-up care is included?
These questions are particularly important for expensive cosmetic and implant procedures.
Final takeaway
Dr. Arthur A. Kezian’s practice has one of the strongest review profiles among the Los Angeles dentists examined in this batch. Current sources show approximately 5.0/5 with more than 1,200 Google reviews.
The dominant review themes are long-term patient relationships, knowledgeable dentists, detailed explanations, caring staff, cosmetic dentistry, implants and comfortable treatment.
The practice’s long history and family ownership are also central to its identity.
For visitors, the most useful takeaway is to look beyond the overall five-star rating and investigate reviews relating specifically to the treatment they need.

DTLA Smile: The reviews are predominantly positive, with patients mentioning friendly staff, a clean/modern office and same-day treatment. There are also negative reviews alleging dissatisfaction with treatment recommendations, so that mixed feedback should be included rather than omitted.
