I made an appointment to see Dr Dao because she was recommended to me by a friend. She was calm and gentle, which was important to me. After examination, she presented a treatment plan and confirmed that I understood her explanations. A follow up appointment was made for further care. I totally trust her expertise, knowledge and honesty, all are important to me. read more

Dr Dao super nice All dental work explained insurance coverage and procedure very thorough Very pleasant experience read more

When I arrived in California, we were looking for a new dentist for my family. She has been absolutely wonderful. I can't recommend this place more! Also, as for insurance, I've had no issues with this office at all. Paperwork has never been some thing I needed to deal with here which is an unexpected surprise. read more

Advanced Dental Smiles Updated review Still.......... 5 stars!! I went back to Dentist Dao on Saturday to have my teeth polished and cleaned. This is when I learned that I loved modern technology even more. Dentist Dao asked me, "Do you want Rasberry or Strawberry?" What was she talking about?? Of course I picked my favorite strawberry. So Dentist Dao polished my teeth with the strawberry FLAVORED polish!!! Yes, there is such a thing in this day and age! WOWOW yummy tasting and oh so clean!! AMAZING! HAPPY POLISHING!! read more

See all

Pros: This office is nice and high-tech. The doctor is warm and sociable. When I would call to make appointments, Dr. Dao would be the one to answer and schedule. I don't know if that's good or bad but I've never been to any dental or medical practice like this. I didn't want to come here anymore after 3-4 visits because with every visit, it became fishy to me. I had HMO but everything recommended apparently was out-of-pocket. I was paying about $400-600 per visit. In my last visit, Dr. Dao, she mended 2 cavities I think and then told me she sees one coming in but won't do anything at this time and will see in the next visit. Well, I knew what that meant. The thing is I brush twice daily (not brushing immediately after eating) with decent technique/timing, typically floss after meals, don't snack much or frequently, and rarely drink sweet drinks. I'm not saying that I can't get cavities but they were found in every visit? I asked what I could do to improve but was just told to brush my teeth more often. I went to a new dentist about a year later and she did find a budding cavity, but it was nowhere near the one Dr. Dao had told me one was coming in. Dr. also explained why it was in that location, which made sense. New Dr. did not recommend any treatment to the cavity at this time. My new Dr. also pointed out that my white fillings had turned gray because whoever did them didn't do a good job of cleaning out my old silver fillings. It was Dr. Dao who pushed me to change out my silver fillings for white ones in my first visit without explaining pros/cons of the older silver fillings vs newer white fillings. White fillings are more expensive and aesthetic but silver fillings are hardier, last longer, take longer to set when first put in. I am a practical person. If I had known, silver fillings would've stayed. My fillings on both sides of my mouth were changed and I think a deep cleaning too was all done in one session. I learned this was not recommended or supposed to be done. I relayed my suspicions to my friend and he told me I was "scammed." Now, I won't call it a scam since Dr. did do procedures on me, but I was poorly advised and oversold on procedures. My friend's best friend is a dentist and would tell him stories about practices that had wanted him to scam customers (of course he did not want to work at those places). I went to Dr. Dao based off of good ratings on Yelp but my new Dr. is recommended from my friend. My friend is also the one that explained to me silver vs white fillings. I came to read the negative reviews and realized I should've read those before going to Dr. Dao. read more

Staff and Dr went above and beyond for me. I appreciate their service. Will be coming back to get more treatment by them in the future.

The word "dentist" already has a bad reputation and is associated with bad connotations. Dentists strip you away from your money, dentists trick you, dentists will drill your brains out (according to children), etc. The list goes on.. As a commoner once, I also had all these bad feelings about dentists... That is until I was taken care of by Dr. Dao! She was not only friendly to me, she was also very gentle with my teeth. She would always ask me if anything was hurting, and to let her know if she was giving me any pain (she never did). On top of everything, she would let me know what she's about to do, and why she's doing it. I even took my dad here for his root canal. As his daughter, I can yelp for him and say that she did an AMAZING and FANTASTIC job on him. I am never going to any other dentists... that's for sure. You can definitely trust that she knows her stuff, and unlike the older generation dentists, Dr. Dao is always up to date with the technology and treatments in the dentistry field. Clean place. Advanced and modern. Friendly dentist. Legit treatments. Fair prices! I HIGHLY recommend this place. read more

Originally selected Dr Dao because she took my insurance (a dreaded HMO) and located super close to our house (same plaza as Vons, close to Starbucks). I love her small office feel and personalized attention - feels like visiting friends whenever I go. She's professional and fast and it's cute that she likes to hum and chat about random nonoffensive topics with her assistant while they work. Big TVs in each lane and even had a good experience with typical cleaning, cavity fixes, and even zoom whitening here (my teeth were surprisingly sensitive just afterwards but recovered fully after a few days). Even though I'm switched over to a PPO plan and moved about 30 minutes away I still like going back to see them! read more

Hello, Leaving Bad Feedback is New to me. If I can't say anything Good.... I usually like to keep quiet. I'll keep it short......We have been treated by different Dentists for some 40+ years now account insurance changes etc...I chose Advanced Dental Smiles account good location and some good reviews. Our experience was: After 2 visits, Just about all our fillings fell out, My Wife had to have another Dentist correct the work that was done here... The Dentist and Assistant thought it normal to discuss their social life while performing important work on us... But the office is clean, they are Nice and the TV is Good ! ! read more

Sorry but don't go here , in my opinion . She is a nice lady. Very nice. But under experienced and didn't know basic dental terms. Couldnt answer all my questions. ALL the fillings she put in my child FELL OUT. Then I went back again, fell out again. My friend who recommended her then told me all her child's fillings also fell out!!! Plus I payed too much for terrible work. And she root canaled partially a baby molar. Took a l9ng time for a child. Then it ended up infected and we just had another Dental office fix all this dental office mistakes. So many Dentists are mediocre. Go somewhere else. read more

This office is such a rip off and I left very frustrated and without a cleaning at all. I am 26 with healthy teeth- I floss every night and brush twice a day. I tried this office because my insurance changed and I needed to find a dentist in my area. The dentist gave me a quote sheet after that said not only that I had cavities, but that I needed a deep cleaning with multiple treatments. Each treatment was going to be an out of pocket expense- totaling an additional $500 for the various treatments recommended for me. Not to mention she never actually cleaned my teeth, I just had x- rays. I know my insurance covers a 6 month cleaning, so I was very skeptical. I don't appreciate when a business is willing to take advantage of their customers. I got a second opinion and had zero cavities and needed only a polish, which made me further disappointed with the initial quote I was given from here. read more

Chipped my veneer on a candy apple and was referred to Dr Dao. I was able to get an appointment right away. Within minutes I was offered a reasonable price and given a temp tooth. One week later and I had my veneer installed. The work was seamless and my tooth looks great. Highly recommended. read more

My family and I have been going to Dr.Dao for years and have never been displeased by her work. I'm always left perfect teeth and the best care. She's always so positive and the best dentist I've had in my life, we can always count on her to do the best work, and leave our teeth in better condition each time. Not to mention her amazing dental team Deanna and Rosa are amazing! read more

Dr. Dao is the best! She's gentle, thorough and never pushes you to do something that's not necessary. Very trustworthy and caring. I would recommend anyone to go to her. read more

Have been looking for a dentist for my whole family. Went to see Dr. Dao yesterday. She was great explained every single service she was doing. Very happy with her services. read more

Came here because of new insurance and it's close to our house. After our first visit here, we left with an estimated bill of $5,000 for me and $3,000 for my husband. Went back to our dentist friend in Orange County. She said I didn't need any work, I've been brushing and flossing too hard, hence the pain I went in for. Eased up on the brushing and flossing pressure, and pain is gone. I would recommend getting a second opinion if you go here for something and are told all your teeth need crowns. The place is pretty, clean, and the dentist and assistant were nice. The TVs are nice, too. read more

This dentist is awesome! If your like me, going to the dentist in general doesn't involve feelings of excitement... But you will be surprised to find that after going here, your opinion about the dentist changes for the better. She is very aware of the patients comfort level and will do whatever you need to be comfortable which is very important to me. The dental assistant is very sweet as well. They are very patient, kind, and do great work! I'm so happy I found a dentist that makes my experience a great one!!!! read more

I love this office. Dr. Dao is beyond sweet. She is very through. My 6 year old loves coming to the dentist now. We are always able to make appointments quickly. We have both had cleanings and fillings for myself. read more

very nice and friendly staff and doctor! Made everything a lot easier and less painful! Very glad that we switched. Highly recommended.

Last month, I had a root canal that got reinfected and had to be redone. My tooth was very brittle and I knew it was time to get it crowned. My cousin referred me to this office. During my first appointment, Dr was very approachable and communicable. My mouth hurt while talking, but I still enjoyed our little chit chats. She made me a crown within 2 weeks! I just got out of school and she was willing to work with my circumstances. Gentle, quick, and careful! I will be referring my friends and family here. read more

Well this facility has a bunch of new equipment with flat screen TVs, etc. in the rooms. The dentist is very friendly and nice. There was literally no other patients when I walked in so there was no wait time, which was really good for me. The dentist seems like she does not really know what to do without the fancy technology So although this dental office has a nice feel and a lot of new stuff, I can't say I recommend this place... perhaps in a few years when the dentist is more experienced. read more

I'm very happy about the professionalism. Drill my cavity , filled it, and inwas out the door, with a numb cheek. She did not try to over treat. The Hippocratic oath off health professionals is 'to not cause herm to the patient'. Its important to not over treat read more

Dr Dau is the best! She is the best Dentist!! I have recommended her to my family.. always available when I need her and her staff is awesome..Clean clean clean, environment!! read more

I went to Dr.Dao and she was really nice and not pushy. She told me I had X number of cavities and two of them are critical. I didn't listen to her and they served me right. I had to do root canal on one of them. She did a pretty good Job in my opinion. I have to go back to get my crowning done. Her assistant and her are friendly and not pushy like one of the dentist I went to. I also had fillings done and I am also done paying and look forward to no cavities. Her price is fair and it is cheaper than the place that I went in glendora. Keep it up Dr.Dao and Diana read more

What a great experience from someone who will make any excuse to not go to the dentist. Very empathetic towards my anxiety. Glad I found her under my dentist plan. read more

Love coming to this office been coming for almost a year now. Dr and office staff very friendly and love how they dont keep you waiting like other dentist office. I would highly recommend them. read more

I don't know how to rate dental places, but this one was good. All the dental appointments are the same, but this one was fast and better. It kind of hurt though, but it was okay. read more

I always dreaded the dentist but after having my wife rave about her dentist, I decided to give this place a try. I haven't been to the dentist in 5 years so was thinking I needed a lot of work. After the initial visit, a full treatment plan was worked up and everything explained to me in detail. Dr Dao is great and I feel more comfortable now going to the dentist. Office is also clean, organized, friendly, and state of the art. I decided to proceed with some treatment today with the gum treatment that included a deep cleaning and irrigation and I feel great. Next appointment I will be getting a couple crowns. read more

Great staff and great service!! Dr. Dao has been one of the best dentists I've ever had. She's very friendly and helpful.

Went to Dentist Dao for a routine teeth clean up. Office is organized, clean and equipment use is up to date. Dentist Dao is very gentle, professional, and friendly. I would highly recommend this place. read more

Not very patient with my upset child. The fillings that they did ALL fell out and now I am looking at more extensive work on a little kid because of the terrible job they did here. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere. There is probably a reason it was SO easy to get a super quick appointment. read more

Dr. Dao is the best family dentist I have been to. The staff is very friendly and everything is thoroughly explained to you. I liked the clarity of seeing the digital xrays and digital photos of my teeth while treatment recommendations were discussed with me. I even brought my 3 year old daughter for her first dental checkup and Dr. Dao made it a comfortable and enjoyable experience for her. I highly recommend Dr. Dao for everyone including my family. read more

Run far, far away from this place!!! The fillings that I paid hundreds of dollars for out of pocket (which my current dentist says they should NOT have charged extra for composite fillings) ALL FELL OUT. I am disgusted with this place because now my daughter has issues in all the teeth that were supposedly taken care of. Shame on them and their shoddy work and business practices. read more

I would never go back! Over charged my limited insurance fund hundreds of dollars for a "deep" cleaning. Then presented an unnecessary treatment plan for cavities and filling replacements that would have used the rest of the funds, it seemed suspicious, so I declined. Previously did a crown that was ok, but used an inexperienced assistant in training to do most of the work. A few months later, I cracked another tooth, went to different dentist that did a much better crown, said the cleaning looked like it not even been done, and said I did not need any further treatment for cavities or filling replacements, completely contradicting Advanced Dental Smiles. This dentist does bad work, over-charges and recommends unneeded treatment to pad the bill. read more
