“Saved my teeth! ”
The first dentist I've been to who made me feel 100% comfortable. He did a great job explaining what causes gum disease and treatment options. I grew up extremely poor so had limited options in regards to regular dental visits which played a significant part in my development of periodontal issues. After the Dr. Performed lanap, I've seen a remarkable difference in the health of my gums and breath. My gums have reattached to my teeth and my pockets have shrunk.
Finally, the staff has always been great. This place feels like a family and they've always been great.
I'd highly recommend Dr. McAllister and his staff, they saved my teeth.

“The staff is very personable and genuinely cares”
I've met almost everyone on the staff of Dr. McAllister's office in a very short time (catching up on all my dental work) and they have all been great! Everyone is easy to talk to and really takes their time to listen to your questions/concerns. Dr. McAllister is a blast and we always end up laughing together. Glad I found this office I am very happy here!

“Dr. McAllister has been my dentist for at least 13 years......I travel from Redondo Beach!!”
As I moved to Redondo Beach I drive the 30+ minutes to keep Dr, McAllister as my dentist...and Lisa as my dental hygenist. Highly traing professional staff.

“It is possible to love a dentist after all!”
I used to be deathly afraid of dentists because I felt pain every time regardless of the procedure. With Dr. McAllister he always takes time to pause during a procedure and ask if I can feel anything, If I do then he goes back and gives me more numbing medication making my experience painless every time.
