This review is ONLY For the skills of Dr. Brian Crupi, IMPLANTS CROWNS BONE GRAFTS SINUS LIFT
I saw him at his office at Venice Island dental in Venice.
my experience of him through 2 rounds of implants . The total was four implants replacing five teeth. And a sinus lift.
These are not simple procedures (and one of them was one ..that my regular dentist Didn’t Want to even contemplate)

As for Venice Island dental which is the practice itself and staff etc
that would be a different review.And I have never been to the Inglewood office.

I will say that Dr. Crupi’s talent and expertise, and commitment to excellence, was much appreciated .I worked for dentist for 12 years and I was careful in choosing .He wasn’t the cheapest nor the most expensive. But I am very impressed with what was accomplished.

I’m hopefully going to post some images but this most recent one showing a larger space with two implants and the results looking like three teeth. …(Doesn’t show the previous work which was the sinus lift & Bone graft-that went before)
They have very sophisticated equipment at this facility, technology that will determine whether or not the bone is healed enough yada yada yada. The idea is to never have an implant fail

I wore a removable appliance for eight months was really unhappy. I graduated yesterday into these permanent implants and I’m chewing everything in sight! In the picture with my smile, the teeth affected are. The upper left eye tooth and the two teeth behind it.. Counting from the center left tooth it begins 345

If you are a military veteran using community care do not utilize this dental practice. I have gotten the run around from Dr. Crupi and the two ladies that run the office for almost 6 months now. I would show up for an appointment just to be told the paperwork wasn’t correct and they needed me to do their job and contact the VA to somehow get it corrected. This never panned out. Then I would get another appointment for care just to be told my infection from waiting so long prevents them from treating me. So, I am put on steroids and anti bacterials to heal the infection and then they schedule me so far out that I end up with another infection before they can see me. So, I have two fractured teeth needing root canals and crowns and have since December 2023 and this practice has screwed me around and never showed any care or concern that a veteran was suffering. I would never recommend this practice after dealing with them for 6 months. On top of this the paperwork between them and the VA was screwed up so they had their company bill me a 100% disabled veteran. The fact that the dentist is a veteran and treats a veteran this poorly speaks volumes about his character. Beware. This practice is no better than the poorly run VA system that is dangerous to the health of so many veterans.

I would give this office a zero if it was available. I am in need of a root canal on a molar and called the office to see if they did root canals on tooth #15. I was answered yes and also given a price of the root canal. I made an appointment and sent xrays from 2 different dentists who also had to refer me. I was told if the doctor determined that a root canal was needed it would be preformed that day.
Sitting in the dental chair, the doctor came in and told me that the tooth was a molar and he stopped doing root canals on those teeth years ago. Why did they not tell me this over the phone and instead made me come into the office. I drove 20 minutes and waited 1 month to hear they could not perform the root canal.
Unfortunately I will not be back.
