I arrived a little early and they were happy to start right away. I love how gentle the staff is with every aspect of the appointment. To prove this I am attaching a photo of my Oura ring asking me to confirm my "nap"! That is how gentle and relaxed I am EVERY time I need anything done here. This includes fillings! If you have any fears of the dentist, have sensitive teeth or just hate the usual dental office vibe. Come here! You will not regret it

I wish Yelp! would let me leave a 10 STAR Rating for Dr. Terra and his amazing care team at Smile…read morethe Spa. From the moment you walk into Smile the Spa, you are greeted by warm friendly folks and a serene atmosphere. They always remember my name and welcome me like I am an old friend. For my first visit, I had a dental cleaning, and I knew immediately that this was a great place. It was such a thorough cleaning and the technology Dr. Terra uses is first rate. I was terrified of the dentist, and I had A LOT of work to do. Many crowns, fillings, fixing some really crazy teeth, and oral surgery. All this before I can do the "fun stuff" (Invisalign and whitening). Whereas other dentists have made my road so long I have eventually given up, Dr. Terra gently and efficiently led me through a healing process. Within months, I now have new teeth! Yes!! And I was scared, but Dr. Terra referred me to an amazing surgeon; I was able to conquer my fear because I knew that if Dr. Terra trusted them, I could too. Thanks to all this work, I will soon start the fun stuff! And yes, my new teeth (Crowns) are GORGEOUS. Dr. Terra is an artist. He makes the crowns himself and they are incredible (and done so so quickly - no more waiting around with a temp crown for months!). I cannot tell you the difference Smile the Spa has made in my smile, my confidence, and my overall health. I am also on a fitness and health journey and Dr. Terra is always interested, remembers my goals and interests, and asks how I am doing. He supports a healthy lifestyle and is super wonderful to be around. Overall, I am so grateful to Dr. Terra and the team at Smile the Spa. Truly a life changing experience.

I followed the prompt it gave me when I called, and it went exactly how it said it would. They got me in the same week as a new patient, handled my cleaning, and fixed my permanent retainer all in one visit. I'm very particular about quality of service and my teeth in general, and it showed right away that the entire staff took the time to review my information and make the experience feel personal, not rushed or pressed for upsells. It was an incredibly warm experience. Customer service was excellent. The team was efficient, took care of everything I needed, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. Extra star for having chapstick on hand. My lips usually dry out fast during appointments, so that small detail was the icing on the cake. I walked out with clean teeth, my retainer fixed, and hydrated lips. Highly recommend this office if you want an independent dentist that really cares about their patients.

The office staff was friendly & I didn't wait long in the waiting room. The hygienist was gentle & thorough. She took X-rays, too. Dr Cho's dental assistant was also friendly & professional. He took an impression of one of my broken teeth & explained that the second tooth would be taken care of at a following appointment. I mentioned that the sound of the dental drill set my nerves on end. He suggested some earphones with my preferred music might help. He set that up. Dr. Cho came in to prepare my tooth for a crown. He was gentle, informative, professional, & friendly. I left the office with only slight numbing & a lot of confidence that I was well-taken care of. I will actually look forward to going to the dentist as long as I go to Dr Cho & his staff.

I sadly have to update my experience after trying multiple times to get a clear answer about…read moreout-of-pocket costs for self pay cleaning and exam. During my last appointment, I told the front desk associate (who seemed new) that I no longer wanted to continue paying for the Smile Generation dental plan they sell to patients, and I asked if she could please tell me the self-pay cost for a routine cleaning and exam. She didn't know. (hmmm...) She asked if she could call me back with the information, which never happened. This was months ago, and with my next cleaning coming up next week, I called again today to ask the same question. I spoke with Darlene, who first needed to look up my file before answering -- which already felt a little odd considering I was just asking for standard pricing information. I again explained that I no longer wanted to use the Smile Generation plan, and she told me the self-pay cost for a cleaning and exam would be $430. FOURHUNDREDANDTHIRTYAMERICANDOLLARS. ROUTINE CLEANING AND EXAM. (sorry I'll stop shouting). Even at the bougiest dental office I've ever gone to, self-pay pricing for a routine cleaning and exam was closer to $250-$300. I didn't want to immediately cancel, so I said, "Okay, I'll just come in for the cleaning w/o exam this time," which would have been $140 for cleaning only. She said that was fine, but that going forward it would HAVE to be a full cleaning and exam. That really left a bad taste in my mouth. It started to feel less like patient care and more like I wasn't wanted there unless I could comfortably pay an exorbitant amount out of pocket every six months. I sat with this all day because I genuinely liked Dr. Matsuno and the techs here. But ultimately, what felt like a lack of transparency and the uncomfortable feeling I walked away with after hanging up today are causing me to seek care elsewhere. I understand this is a business, and businesses need to make money. I truly do. But I don't want to go somewhere that makes me feel uncomfortable for not being able to spend that kind of money on routine dental visits a couple times a year. Respectfully, I think there needs to be a realistic middle ground on their pricing and expectation of what non-insured patients are willing to spend. And for me, that's NOT $430 every few months.

However, everyone in the office was extremely warm and friendly. Dr. Grella and his staff are incredibly thorough. All of my questions were answered, and I never felt rushed. I also have a very old mouthguard that I was convinced needed to be replaced, but Dr. Grella suggested bringing it in first to see if it could simply be cleaned instead of replaced entirely. If you're someone who hates going to the dentist and feels a lot of anxiety about it, I definitely recommend Dr. Grella and his amazing team. I left feeling relieved and truly happy to have found a place I feel comfortable returning to.

The staff is always friendly, energetic, and genuinely focused on making each patient feel comfortable and cared for. It's clear that they have built a culture centered around trust, professionalism, and exceptional customer service. I've also had the chance to see many of Dr. Desh's before-and-after cases, including some very challenging orthodontic transformations. The results are remarkable. Her attention to detail, expertise, and commitment to helping patients achieve healthy, confident smiles are evident in the work she does every day. If you're looking for an orthodontist who combines outstanding clinical skills with a caring and welcoming team, I highly recommend HD Orthodontics.
