Dr. Zhao is very talented with great bedside manners. We were going to start a family vacation when my dad had an emergency, and Dr. Zhao helped us schedule a same-day appointment with minimal wait. When the test results suggest a tooth removal might be necessary, we were a bit anxious because of our imminent travel. He explained the pros and cons to us carefully. Boy we were glad we took up on his advice! The same-day surgery went extremely well - minimal pain, no complications, and dad was eating solid food after three days. What made the experience really stand out is Dr. Zhao's warmth and follow-ups. He called us the next day to ask about the recovery. We were offered a follow-up appointment upon our return to Irvine, when Dr. Zhao asked about our travel experience and discussed options for subsequent care (for my dad's own dentist, not at Ashore). Overall, we felt genuinely cared for. What could have a been a drawn-out nightmare and canceled travels turned out a breeze. Also worth mentioning, the staff seemed to work really well with the doctors - we were in and out very quickly and the process was very easy. read more

It was very easy to schedule an appointment with the office. The office is very clean and the staff is very nice. I'm happy with the crown that the doctor put in. They have a membership if you don't have any insurance. read more

Dr. Zhao is highly skilled and extremely patient. He has taken care of both my dental cleaning and treatment, and he is definitely a dentist worth trusting and staying with. read more

The place underwent new management. It was very nice to get an appointment. I was in pain because my crown shattered. Dr. Zhao was able to accommodate and helped me with the crown. The office is very clean. read more

Ashore Dental Care - General Dentistry Near Me - Irvine, California

Dr. Zhao was very friendly. He treated my cavity. The front desk was very nice, easy to schedule.

"Hands down the best dental experience I've ever had! I came in for an extraction and was a bit nervous, but the team at Ashore Dental Care made me feel at ease immediately. The procedure was quick, smooth, and efficient. The dentist has excellent bedside manner and magic hands--I didn't feel a thing. The recovery process has been smooth as well. Highly recommended for anyone needing dental work!" read more

在爾灣的 AShore Dental Care 看診是一個非常好的體驗。趙醫生和團隊都很專業、親切，診所環境現代又舒適，讓人很放心。強烈推薦給需要細心、負責任牙醫的朋友~

Doing Amalgam restoration. The doctor is professional and kind. But the billing is messy, they asked me to pay my last procedure saying that the insurance didn't cover for I did it in other office before while I did not. Later they said it is due to run out of insurance benefits. Make sure to double check your cost before you step in the office. read more

I got my new patient check ups, Xray together with basic teeth cleaning with Karen and Dr. Wang today, they did a really great job and got everything done in about an hour. I had all my questions answered and was provided with a treatment plan, no pressure, just everything that I would expect from a dentist. read more

Since I had a hard time scheduling at my primary dental care location, I chose Ashore to help me with some repairs. The dentist is very knowledgeable about proper treatment. He referred me to another dentist who specializes in root canals, since I had a tooth that needed a more detailed procedure. After coming back the dentist helped me do a build up and mold for the crown, which was inserted yesterday. Each procedure was smooth and handled with care by both the dentist and dental assistants. The office is very clean, and the office staff are all very helpful and polite. They have some good deals for those without insurance, and accept a variety of insurance plans. A few thing that can be improved are punctuality for the start of appointments. I had to wait quite a bit a few times before my treatment actually started. Dentists might also be a little more attentive to patient comfort (numbing is fine, but had some problems with pulling or tight sensations a few times). Besides these points, a solid dental office with people who are professional and attentive to patient needs! read more

Oh Jeanne, where art thou? Five stars and thumbs up to Dr. Tsai for his skill and professional demeanor. He replaced my elderly mother's crown and did an excellent job. However, if the front office lacks customer service skills, it makes you think twice if you should continue as a patient. I recently selected Ashore Dental knowing already that Dr. Tsai was a great dentist, but mostly because of the office manager Jeanne. I had spoken with her on the phone a few times. She patiently answered all of my and my mom's questions (about a bazillion) during my parents' appointments. She is extremely knowledgeable about dental care and procedures, and is well versed in how insurance works and how to file claims. Fast forward a couple months and I find out Jeanne is no longer there! Boo, hiss. The new office manager is unfriendly, unhelpful and would I go so far as to say aggressively rude? Yeah, kinda. The other front office ladies are very nice so just pray you get one of them when you call to schedule an appointment or deal with one of them when you go in. read more

I haven't been to the dentist in 2 years and I was super nervous, found this dentist through yelp. I have medi-cal so I was also nervous they would treat me differently , but I arrived and the staff was friendly and helpful , and during treatment the dental assistants kept asking me if was okay and if I needed a break and were very considerate. The doctor was quick , and also made sure to numb me extra since I said I was sensitive to pain , when they did my filling they kept checking to make sure it felt normal , and took their time and were very patient . Overall it was a really great experience ! Thank you so much ! read more

Dr. Tsai might be a great Dr., but I went in last week for a reg chk up, as initial check ups & xray are complimentary everywhere, they charged $95, plus I've no issues w none of my teeth and they start saying "you need 4 crowns" for almost triple the price of else where, then they said "if you don't want crowns we can fill them", again for almost triple the price again. Then they wouldn't let me get off the dental seat, they kept saying "which one do you want to do now?", until I said I need to leave now and process all this info..... Like I said, Dr. Tsai might be a great Dr. for his work, but his office staff is all about business, not the patient! read more

I came to Ashore Dental a few months ago because I was in need of emergency dental care ASAP, and Ashore was one of the first results in Google to come up. I had a freak accident where a shard of metal had stabbed into part of my gums and I couldn't get it out, and needed immediate help. Every step of the way, from the first phone call to the procedure to fix everything, the staff was very kind and sympathetic. My situation was a weird case but they fixed up everything quickly and gently. I felt like they really cared about helping me and making me feel comfortable during the process. Long story short, I was so happy with the visit that I came back a few weeks later for a cleaning, and now they have a long-term patient in me! :) read more

Very poor service, if I can I want to give zero star! Not professional! They just want to much money! Very bad service! Don't go there!

Great staff, dreat drs. Cant remember the girl that took my xrays but she was so courteous and friendly. Very gentle while taking bitewings and those have always been uncomfortable or even painful in the past. Dr Hoang was so sweet and nice. She didnt try to make stuff up or force any procedures. In fact I have a couple of cavities but since they are not big, she said lets keep an eye on them. I know most dentists would fix them up to make as much money as they could in any opportunity. Dr Tsai was also knowledgable and recommended the best procedure for me. Not the most expensive choice but rather the one that would benefit me the most. Rachael the hygenist was very meticulous and has gentle hands. She was also so sweet and explained what she was doing in the process. Can I give her more than 5 stars for the coffee stains on my front teeth? Wow! No more stains and no bleach was used! The front desk ladies were very nice as well. Overall, I would highly recommend this office. They took great care of me and are very honest. read more

I've been coming here for awhile and never had issues. The previous girl who no longer works there always took care of dealing with my insurance company and getting things authorized or denied if that was the case. Well things have changed. I had to wait over a month to get in and the girl Gina who I spoke with in regards to insurance related matters doesn't seem to care very much about the patients feelings or needs. I got the feeling she just didn't want to deal with finding out what my insurance covered or didn't cover. I spoke with her on a few occasions and didn't get a good feeling. She has a poor attitude also. I'm really considering changing dental offices if this continues. read more

Through a friend's referral I came to Ashore to have my crown redone. I called in for appointment and the receptionist was very courteous and accommodating with my scheduling. The office is well decorated and I was brought in right away. Dr. Matthew Tsai was extremely professional, and posses a wealth of experiences. He took care of my crown, and also made some recommendations for future work. There were no pressure sale like the others I've been to, all just a friendly and informative chat. At the end I was pleased to hear from the receptionist that all my paperwork with insurance will be taken care of, all without me making even one call. Ashore sets a new standard on how a dentist office should be run. I also learned he has recently took over Ashore Dental from Dr. Nina and her husband. So those past reviews of poor ratings would not apply. Dr. Tsai runs a first class office, and everybody in the office made me feel welcome. Visiting a dentist can be stressful, but Ashore definitely took a lot of the stress factor away. I will definitely be referring more friends and family to Dr. Tsai. read more

This office really, really cares about giving their patients the best dental care possible at the most reasonable price. I can't say enough about the friendly office staff, qualified dental assistants, and expert dentists. Everyone is top notch. I highly recommend them for every procedure you may need. I have just personally experienced the easiest tooth extraction ever, and I have had many. As a 20 year resident of Woodbridge, I feel so fortunate to have found Ashore Dental Care in my backyard. Thank you, Sincerely Sharon G. read more

My entire family has been going to Ashore Dental for a quite a few years now. I am so impressed with their level of care that I had to write a review. Even my kids like going there to get their teeth cleaned. I highly recommend them for all your dental needs. read more

I have been a patient of Jason and Nina for over 3 years now since they took over my old dentist's practice. They have been terrific. I have always wanted straight teeth and was never happy with the proposals for braces from other dentist. Dr. Nina was great. She explained the whole process and was very thorough. She uses some great technology to ensure that you get a perfect smile. Even though I though my teeth were straight enough after a year in braces, she insisted that we keep going until they were perfect (I'm glad I listened to her advice). The best part, the follow up has been great and she let me pay the braces off over time with a payment plan (needed as I was in college at the time). I highly recommend this group of dentists. They are wonderful and my teeth thank them every day. read more

The front desk lady is very nice and helpful. She helped me get all the necessary information regarding insurance and benefits. The only problem is that the cleaning here are short and definitely not thoroughly done. My son and I got both go cleanings and they were less than 10 minutes. Usually cleanings take about 30 minutes or so. We do our cleanings every 6 months but last year we had terrible insurance. We had to come here for our cleanings but it didn't compare to all the other places we have done our cleanings. Luckily we have better insurance this year and we got better cleanings. They really shouldn't rush through cleanings seeing it can prevent so many health problems. read more

We just recently moved to Irvine and looking for a new family dentist. We are sure glad we found Dr Tsai he is caring, friendly and professional. The staff is very helpful and make you feel comfortable. This office is the place to go if you are looking for a good dentist. Thank you Ashore Dental Care! read more

Visited Ashore Dental Care for the first time today and I really enjoyed the experience. I have always been a little nervous about teeth cleaning and avoided it for a long time. A family member recommended Dr. Tsai and I'm so happy that I gave it a try! The appointment process is very easy. A huge plus for me is that Ashore Dental Care opens on Saturdays and makes it very convenient for working professionals! Dr. Tsai and his staff quickly identified problems with my teeth and explained the problems to me. They recommended a deep cleaning and it went smoothly and painlessly. Again, happy with my visit and recommend Ashore to anyone who's looking for a dentist in Orange County! read more

Very good care from Dr Tsai. Good front and back crews. Respect the customer. Organized. Honest.

They have been my dentists for over 5 years and I have really liked the experience. They are polite and professional. My insurance does not cover everything, but they explain all the charges up front before they do any of the work. read more

I just got new dental insurance and I was super nervous about having to find a new dentist. Honestly, I was a little hesitant to go to a dentist in a nice building in Irvine because I was always taught that they overcharge their patients in order to stay in a nice area. However it was close to home so I took a chance. The office is very clean and it was easy for me to make an appointment over the phone. When I arrived they asked me to fill out some standard paperwork. As soon as I was done they took me back to the exam room - Almost no wait and there was a family of four there at the same time. I went back they took some x-rays and the doctor came out to talk to me and do the cleaning. I am very sensitive when it comes to teeth cleaning, but Dr. Tsai was sooo gentle! I almost forgot I was at the dentist! My husband also came for his appt. this day and he commented on how gentle the process was. I also appreciated the Dr.'s honesty. He told me that my fillings were on the older side and not the best looking. However he didn't say let's pull them out and put new ones in! like some dentists totally would. He said lets keep an eye on them during your next visit and go from there. Knowing that he is not money hungry was a relief. I highly recommend this Dentist. read more

I just came out of a dental cleaning appointment earlier today as a first time patient. They did a great job cleaning stains off my teeth. Staff and front office receptionists were very courteous. I'm not a big fan of visiting any dentist, but they made it as enjoyable as it could be and I would definitely come back here if I need dental work in future. read more

These folks are awesome. Friendly on the phone, friendly in person, and got me in and out pretty quickly. My littlest kiddo has an appointment next week for a check up. read more

2 minute wait. Accept dentical. Great staff and very friendly and patient. They call you 1-2 days before your actual appointment so you don't forget. Lorraine is the best desk assistant :) 5/5 100% recommend them. read more

Moved to Irvine a few years ago and needed a new dentist in the area. I found this business through a friend's referral + Yelp and I have to say it resulted in a great experience. The staffs were friendly and the dentist was clear in explaining what I needed. One of the big concerns as a recent college graduate was treatment costs. Lorraine did a fantastic job in helping me out with my insurance and made it affordable to receive the care I needed. As long as I am in the area, I see myself returning here for all dental care! read more

I had a great experience at this dental office! I was in so much pain and called around to different dentists to see who could fit me in that same day. I called Ashore Dental and they got me in right away! Dr. Nina was really nice and easy to get along with. She got me out of pain and even called to check on me the day after! The office staff were also great and really organized. I will definitely keep going there! read more

After reviewing dentists affiliated with my insurance plan and doing some internet research, I chose Ashore Dental Care. The office is professional and prompt. Dr. Tsai is a kind and caring dentist. The prices for services are very reasonable for things not covered by insurance. I strongly recommend Dr. Tsai if you are in the market for a new dentist or are new to the area as I am. read more

I had my first appointment and consultation today and the staff was very friendly and informative. They even offer complimentary beverages if you are so inclined. Great office! read more

I personally had a great experience at this practice. I really appreciate the state of the art equipment they used. Everything was very clean and the staff was very friendly. I didn't end up having to get anything done other than a cleaning. It was much less painless than at any other practice I've been at. I usually have a LOT of bleeding with my cleanings. Since then, I've recommended my friends and family to this practice and they've been very happy with the service they get there! read more

Dr Nina and her Staff are awesome. They are friendly and professional. I have been going there with my Family for 3 Years. The Dentist is not my favorite place to spend my time and I usually am very tense in the Dental Chair but Dr Nina makes you comfortable. Dr. Nina is very caring and personal. She stops to ask if you are doing "OK" during the procedure. I love her tiny fingers doing all the detail on my Teeth from Braces to Cleaning. I used to walk away from the Dentist feeling like my mouth had been pulled apart and ached for hours. That does not happen with Dr. Nina. She has removed all my old Silver Fillings and given me Beautiful Teeth! I go every 4 Months for Cleanings and refer all my Friends and Family Members to Dr. Nina. She has 2 Offices to serve your needs and will take great care of you!! read more

This office is so well-managed and professional. Lorraine is extremely easy to work with and Dr. Hong and her hygienist are amazing. I had some dental work done and they made me feel super comfortable! read more

I came to Ashore frustrated and disappointed with my previous dentist of 20 years. Dr. Tsai and his treatment team have provided excellent care and kept me well informed. Lorraine and her office staff, are a delight to work with. Ashore has saved me money, time and pain. Making the move was a great decision! read more

Offer great and prompt service! Dentists patiently explain questions to the best of his knowledge before offer their services.

Dental assistant took the x-rays she was asking questions if I had any concerns regarding my teeth, which I did I let her know. After the xrays were done the dentist and assistant came in.

Don't waste your time looking for a dentist, he's the one! read more
