I highly recommend A+ Dentistry for Kids. This was my first time visiting the office, and from the moment I walked in I felt welcomed. The front desk staff was very helpful and made sure to explain what my insurance would cover before anything was processed. Thank you to Dr. Gacias and his assistant Brenda Arrellanos for clearly explaining every step before proceeding. All of my questions were answered, and I felt completely comfortable throughout the visit. I had a deep cleaning and a brushing, and everything was done with great care. Thank you, A+ Dentistry for Kids, for your excellent service. I will definitely be recommending this office to my family. read more

Yesterday, my daughter was excited for her dental appointment, but after being treated by a different provider for the second time, I have decided that we will not be returning to this office. My daughter had a very traumatic experience. There was another provider present in the room during the procedure who witnessed everything that occurred. The provider began the procedure before the sedation and numbing medication appeared to have taken full effect. My daughter was screaming, crying, and repeatedly indicated that she could feel everything and in pain. Throughout the procedure, she also appeared to be choking and struggling to breathe. Despite this, the provider continued trying to work in her mouth while the mouth prop remained in place. I had to ask the provider to remove the mouth prop so my daughter could breathe and spit out what was in her mouth. The provider asked whether my daughter had eaten within six hours of the appointment, and I confirmed that she had not. I also explained that during her previous sedation appointment, it had taken longer than expected for the sedation to take effect. Instead of stopping the procedure to ensure my daughter was comfortable and adequately sedated, the provider only tilted her head and used the suction while my daughter continued screaming and crying. When the procedure was finally over and my daughter got off the treatment board, she had urinated on herself. She was extremely upset and told me she never wants to return to this dentist again. As a parent, it was heartbreaking to watch my daughter go through this. I am deeply concerned about how her pain and distress were handled during the procedure. I hope this experience is taken seriously so that no other child has to endure the same treatment. read more

The treatment coordinator, Alejandra, was incredibly helpful, patient, and thorough in explaining all of my options. She helped me choose the plan that best fit my needs and made the entire process easy and stress-free. Overall, she provided a great experience. read more

Not happy with the customer service that i was provided and it all starts with the front the receptionist i think her name is Alejandra comes off as nice but its all a fake once you question her she gets sort of dismissive they had a new receptionist she was nice, the last receptionist that was there i cant remember her name she wore glasses now she was very kind and bubbly she had one of those welcoming personalities and would engage with you they definitely need her back !! the Office Manager Jose seems he doesn't know how to manage an office he was also very rude to me when i had questions about my child's treatment there is no way my child had so Much decay 5 fillings needed and 3 baby root canals is insane i had brought him here 6 months ago and he had zero cavities , Jose made me feel like the worst mother making assumptions that i probably feed my child high sugary food/drinks ive been coming here for years and to be treated in such a manner is unacceptable the owner should really look into who he has working for him Never coming here again read more

My daughter Sienna had to get spacers for her teeth done here and we were amazed at how comfortable they made her feel during the whole process! They did a fantastic job! read more

We've had more than one negative experience with this office. There have been scheduling issues where information wasn't properly verified, and at one point an appointment needed to be rescheduled but we were never contacted. It's very inconvenient to take time off work and pull children out of school for appointments that don't happen. We gave the office another chance, hoping things would improve. Unfortunately, the staff we interacted with were not welcoming. My child and I genuinely felt a sense of bias in how we were treated. Several families who arrived and signed in after us were called back first. After waiting nearly half an hour with no update, we decided to leave. We did receive a call later apologizing and asking us to reschedule, but at this point it feels more like a response prompted by management rather than genuine care. We feel the overall pattern of experiences has made it hard to trust the office moving forward and we won't be returning. read more

I wanted to leave an honest review to help other parents. The staff was polite and the environment was nice, however, they did not seem to have experience working with children with special needs. As a parent of a child with special needs, patience, understanding, and accommodations are very important. Unfortunately, I felt that the staff were not prepared to provide the support or flexibility my child needed. I hope in the future they consider additional training so they can better support families like ours. Every child deserves to feel comfortable and included. read more

Great dentist! Feels clean and the dentists all are very nice and seem to actually care. The dental assistants are also very nice. The office staff is good but nothing above and beyond. The only problem I have with this dentistry is the wait time. If your on time, early, there no one else in the lobby you sit and wait for 20+ minutes and that's on a good day. It can be a little frustrating. read more

I highly recommend this place I have been bringing my daughter here for the past 4 years and staff are very friendly and supportive. read more

This place is very clean with an inviting kid-centered ambiance. The staff is exceptional, professional, and they handle the most resistant children with aplomb!

Professional consultation and friendly front desk staff. Parking is easy right outside.

Took my daughter in for a tooth extraction and fillings and Dr. Lee and the staff were AMAZING.

My son had to fill cavities. They strapped him down and he was screaming at the top of his lungs for almost an hour and a half. I told them to give him a break and they would say " see if you stop screaming you can leave faster" and one point the dentist said " what are you crying for ?!" He was choking on water and they wouldn't suction it. I was like he's choking and they were like there is a suction in there. He was swearing and kept telling them he was hot and they just ignored him. I told them he was autistic and they just said OH. They are pumping kids in and out of there and no one really knows how to talk or be with kids. On the way out my son seemed like he was gunna faint and the lady was like "here" and gave him a little toy. No one was making him feel safe and no one has a personality there. No welcoming smile or tone. We were told he was going to be sedated and he was just givin something to make him loopy which did not do anything for read more

A+ Dentistry For Kids - Their body can't even breathe in this material which was causing him anxiety. - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Long Beach, California

We couldn't be happier with the care our three kids receive at A+ Dentistry ! From the moment we walk in, the entire team is so welcoming and friendly, making each visit a positive experience for our children. They truly specialize in working with kids--our little ones feel comfortable, safe, and even excited to come back. The dentist is patient, gentle, and great at explaining everything in a way that kids understand without any fear. Especially our 5 year old who's on the autism spectrum. We appreciate how thorough and personalized the care is for each of our children, no matter their age or dental needs. It's clear this practice genuinely cares about our family's dental health and well-being. We highly recommend A+ Kids Dentistry to any family looking for a kids dentist who makes dental visits fun and stress-free! read more

Thanks so much. Great job with my son. Loved the office decorations - fun for kids! We will be back

I really don't want to post a negative review but hopefully they change how they do treatment. The dental assistants are super friendly and we loved them! However when it comes to filling cavities it's just horrible or any treatment. They strap the kids down on a board super tight. They give the kids a drink to make them drowsy. It doesn't work because they still scream and cry so bad including my daughter. At first it was fine but the second time it got so worse. She was crying and screaming. Was told it was Normal and the board was the only way to go. (Not true go to different office now and they use laughing gas) the last time we ever went my husband took her and never again. He said it was horrible and to stop taking her there. I agreed. If they would stop doing that I would definitely come back. But seems they still do. read more

Amazing work, customer service is on point. Everyone is so kind and helpful. Thank you again.

I love it here ! Been coming here for 3 years and it's amazing the fact that they have so much patience read more

A+ Dentistry For Kids - My son at the dentist - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Long Beach, California

We had the best experience yesterday! This office was able to answer and game plan my daughters teeth in a way I haven't experienced before, it felt really comforting to know they saw the same problems as me and were able to provide a few different options (because realistically) with dental work it's a best case scenario to worst case scenario deal in my head haha. Dr. Lee was able to squeeze my son in for treatment yesterday bc they are booked!!! Don't be upset if you are a new patient who will require treatment not being treated the same day.. they are BUSY! And they're honest about it so I can appreciate that. We transferred after we moved from OC and our old dentist closed. I would have moved them here years ago had I known there was such a difference in care. They took X-rays to confirm answers for questions I had, was able to show me in detail things I'd been wanting to see for years! Super cool office with superb staff. Happy to have found this little gem! read more

Dr. Arlene Kampilla - Negligent practice regarding oral sedation of my toddler. I have been bringing my toddler to this practice for about a year and a half all experiences have been great until our most recent visit. We had a scheduled appointment for my 3 year old and opted to try oral sedation for the first time. The receptionists and assistants here are kind and do most of the communication when it comes to treatment plans. However, that is not informed consent when it comes to medications & procedures. Dr. on staff should be doing their due diligence. Dental assistant hands me a syringe of oral sedation medication in the hallway to give to my toddler. She was resistant to swallowing the medication which any toddler would. I requested we move into our room so that I could get her more comfortable and able to take the medication. We walk into the room, tv is blaring, music blaring, Dr. Kimpilla is high energy, tells me right away this isn't going to work, she had no patience to begin with. Tells me sometimes you have to hold kids down like she did to her daughter, odd. a pediatric dentist with no patience or bedside manner. My daughter is then restrained down in the papoose as is common at this practice. as Dr. Kampilla begins inserting the syringe into my child's mouth to administer the oral medication. Dr. Kampilla puts her fingers in the corner of my daughters mouth and is forcibly pinching her cheek. I ask her to stop pinching her cheek several times as my daughter is expressing pain. At this point she has consumed about 3/4 of the syringe of sedation. When she finally removes her finger from my daughter's mouth there is blood in the corner of her mouth. When I express that the Dr. needs to stop at my request and that she made her bleed, she then proceeds to say no my daughters lips are just chapped and slathers an excessive amount of Vaseline all over her lips and around her upper and lower lip. I immediately told them to wipe it off.The Dr then again says this isn't going to work, ending the appointment, and leaves the room. Sending us home with a toddler who has JUST been sedated with absolutely no communication or monitoring of my now sedated child. A child under oral sedation needs to be monitored and a care plan needs to be in place. regardless of if the practice so routinely sedates and restrains their patients that they are so comfortable as to not feel the need to monitor their young patients. I was shocked to receive such a neglectful and careless experience after having great experiences in the past with Dr. Kim. To top it all off when Dr. Kampilla left the room immediately after sedating my daughter, the dental assistant refused to give me her full name. I had to request it from the front desk. read more

I came in last week for my child's check up. My child has had a lot of work done in the past so can be a little nervous when going back. All the assistants where AWESOME! Very caring and cheerful! Our assistants name was Tiara, she was very kind! She even showed and talked with my child about all the tools she was going to use for there cleaning. This made them way less nervous! The doctor we had was Dr.Chris he was nice to us and very informative! BUT he wasn't very nice to the assistant. He was kinda snappy at her and pointed out every little thing she did "wrong". We thought she did great. If she needed correction that's totally fine but being snappy and passive aggressive toward the assistant is very unprofessional. The office itself is awesome, I just hope the doctor is not like that all the time. read more

This place is an A+ dental clinic, ALL THE STAFF were very kind especially the dentists who assisted my kids... We arrived an hour early before our appointment coz I was afraid for the long wait (we experienced from previous dental clinic). We came back about 12nn (appointment time) and only waited 15mins then they had my kids proceed for X-rays, clean & and brush their teeth. I can't thank enough this place show how much they care for their patient which is very important to me. My son had a very deep cavity on his molar tooth and Dr DANIELLA did a GREAT JOB explaining things ( what to do, treatment etc). I highly recommend this place not only for children but for all ages that needed dental assistance... read more
