It's been a good 12years since my last dental visit, and if you're anything like me, dental anxiety is very real. Finding the right practice changes everything. From the moment I called, Katy set the tone. Mary was welcoming, clear, descriptive, and incredibly patient Walking me through the entire process of becoming a patient and making sure I felt secure before my appointment. Meeting Kath in person was meeting someone that as if I already know! Stepping inside, Lisa took over for initial photos, explaining every single step along the way. Both Lisa and Katy instantly made me feel welcome and at ease, proving right away that this was going to be a positive visit. Next came Natalie, the dental hygienist extraordinaire. Natalie greeted me with unmatched warmth and kindness, explaining every instrument, machine, and each part of the process so there were zero surprises. Her compassion is palpable. Dr Briana Chavez gracefully stepped in to introduce herself- seamlessly executing a professional handoff while still taking the time to shake my hand and outline what was ahead. I met Irene next. Irene made sure I stayed completely comfortable for the rest of my visit. When it was time for Dr Chavez's assessment, she was thorough, attentive, and asked pertinent and caring questions about my overall health and the dental journey that brought me to her chair. Together, we mapped out a collaborative plan of care and future interventions. Everyone in this office has a relax, calm but professional demeanor. They were all incredibly kind and non judgmental. If you've been putting off your dental care, this is the team you want in your corner. read more

My family has been coming here for years now and we've always trusted Dr. Chavez and felt so safe under her care. The facility is very clean and up to date. Her receptionists and hygienists are so kind and friendly; they always feel like family. She also gave me good references for more specialized care like for an orthodontist and an orthodontic surgeon and both times I was very satisfied. read more

It was my first visit to the new office. The layout and design was beautifully accomplished. It's evident that a lot of time was spent in making this a welcoming environment for patients and staff. I loved the covered parking location and corporate surroundings. Black dot coffee shop in the adjacent building and a wonderfully laid out sitting area by the central water fountain were enjoyable. As usual Dr Briana Chavez and her staff were outstanding. Always helpful and encouraging as routine and last minute emergencies are handled with caring professional treatment. I look forward to my next visit and highly recommend Dr Briana Chavez and her team of experts! read more

Dr Chavez and her staff are the best and I've recommended them to all my friends, neighbors, and coworkers.

Coming from somebody who takes really good care of their teeth, NEVER skipped a dentist appointment, i've been going to this office for a little over three years now for all my cleanings, now they're telling me I need a deep cleaning or my teeth are gonna fall out. I don't think so. I'm not returning. and wouldn't let me book my next cleaning unless it was the SUPER expensive deep cleaning, so there you have it decide for yourself. read more

Dr Chavez and her team do an amazing job every time! I highly recommend them and will not be going anywhere else!

Briana Chavez, DDS - My 1st visit to dentist with a dental emergency - General Dentistry Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Dr Chavez and her staff are wonderful. From the pre-visit paperwork, to the X-rays, to the teeth cleaning, I was treated with kindness and care. Dr Chavez spent time with me carefully explaining everything and making sure I was comfortable and had all my questions answered. I would send friends and family here without hesitation! read more

I just adore Dr Chavez and all of her staff! Dr Chavez is a great dentist who seems to actually care for her patients! Also she is great about trying to make costs as low as possible! I fly out of state just to see her as she is that good! Also the dental chairs are great because the chairs have massagers and heat if you so desire which makes it more comfortable! I am so grateful that I was lucky enough to find Dr Chavez and she is my favourite dentist along with her sweet staff, Katy at the front desk is always so helpful and kind too!! Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Chavez and her staff are my extended family. As a patient, I recognize the importance of good oral hygiene. Dr. Chavez treats me with the professionalism, knowledge, and kindness we would hope to receive from the medical community. This is why I look forward to my visits with Dr. Chavez. Dedicated oral hygiene starts with me and finishes with her. My mom and daughter also go to Dr. Chavez. Recently my daughter texted me that she "loves Dr. Chavez". Having my teeth cleaned is like a visit to Disneyland in my mouth! Best Regards, Ken M. read more

It's never an easy time after a bad experience with a past dentist. My coworker gave positive feedback about Dr. Chavez and the entire staff. From the initial phone conversation to book my appointment to my first visit, It was WONDERFUL! Dr. Chavez is incredibly attentive and explains things clearly and visually so you understand. The staff including Dr. Chavez was extremely friendly and gentle. They did their job efficiently and professionally with out compromising the care with their patients. A big SMILE and THANK YOU to everyone that made my experience enjoyable. I can't wait for the next visit! read more

Crown came off the night before. First thing in AM I called the office, and the receptionis says "The one in front?". I've only been in the office a few times, so I'm amazed that she knows who I am and the condition of my mouth. Then she tells me she'll squeeze me in that very day. Dr. Chavez is so sweet, thorough, gentle, and has such expertise. She X-rayed the implant below, cleaned up the old cement, determined there was no problem, (and cheered) and re-cemented the crown. All within an hour, including the wait. Everyone in the office stopped to see how I was doin'! Unbelievable, it's fun going to the dentist. (I did have to pay, though.) read more

This lady is like a bad mechanic. Poke and prod until something is wrong. I had a crown come off so I made an appointment to come in and have it put back on. Simple enough, cause I hate the dentist. So right off the bat, X-ray needed. Huh? I went along with it. Dr. Chavez comes in and is really, really surprised I'm not in any pain. Why would I have pain, just a crown. Nothing is sensitive? "Nope I'm good" I tell her. She comments again how surprised she is that I'm in no pain. Now I have ????? So she starts putting a lot of pressure on my tooth with her finger trying to move the root canal around. At first I was good but the more she messed with it it started to tingle. She then got her metal tool the spike no one likes! And tries to move the tooth some more, and sure enough the tingle gets a bit more intense and I tell her to stop the more she messes with it the more it tingles. She giggles and stops. Apparently my root canal has an infection and from what she can see it looks fractured. She tells me she will recommend an oral surgeon for me and she wants to talk about treatment. I'm sure see saw that implant $$$ and just had to fuck with my tooth one more time, bitch this time with some cotton. I'm guessing to be able to grip my tooth. As she's only used her gloved finger and the spike. She says she's drying it, but why are u pushing down on it and seeing if it moves? Sure enough that tingle is now a small throb, but once she goes to set the crown. It starts to throb much more and more intense. I swear she had to be on her tippy toes to get enough pressure, and now I'm in full throbbing mode. She says the crown is basically holding the fracture together. Oh well gee thanks for the toothache and for costing me even more $$. I'm self employed as a plumber and if I'm not working I'm not making $$. Now I have to go see the oral surgeon and take time off work, cancel or reschedule appointments, it could cost me a customer. All because Dr. Chavez couldn't simply Re-cement the cap and let me be on my way, with no pain. Best way to get someone to do something you want is to cause them pain. She's like a loan shark. She loans you some pain and intern you have to pay her to get rid of it. Awesome! Now since I'm throbbing I have to go see the surgeon asap, I would have rather waited till it hurt on its own. Not because some $$$ hungry dentist wanted it to hurt. Needless to say I will not go where she recommends and will be looking for a new dentist with competent hygienist who don't turn the heater on after you tell them no. And when you start to overheat doesn't take any responsibility. That is another story and that should've told me to never go back!! She really deserves 0 stars!!! read more

Everyone at this office is so friendly! I always feel like I'm catching up with old friends when I come in. They're all very gentle and they talk you through everything they do so there are so surprises. The office is super clean and everyone goes out of their way to make sure you're comfortable. read more

I used to Hate the dentist until I came here. The entire Staff is Amazing, super attentive and make you feel like family. Katie, Dr Chavez, and Natalie are the best!! read more

I am back on here to update my last review. I just took my son in for his very first dental visit. (3 years old) I know I am a little late but we've been doing great brushing and flossing at home so he had no cavities. But I just want to praise doctor Chavez on how extremely patient and kind she was to my son we had the best first time at the dentist experience with her and her entire staff! They were all so nice and gentle!! I also got my teeth cleaned today and I can definitely say that she really is the most kind and caring general dentist I have ever met. Thank you doctor Chavez, Katie and Mia for the amazing service!!!! read more

I've been a patient here for 8 years, had my first crown done today and I couldn't have felt more at ease by the Dr and her staff. Her office has always been extremely clean and up to date but the extra sanitation efforts during COVID-19 really helped ease my concerns. Her work is meticulous and the attention she gives her patients is truly special. She explains in detail what's she's doing and why, always checks on my comfort level and is so precise and into her work. Her love for it is evident. When my tooth first cracked (during CDC closure) I called the office and Dr. Chavez got back to me right away, asking about my pain level and to send a picture of the area. Upon review she walked me through flossing the piece out and how to maintain it until I was ready to come in. This is the level of care she delivers.. Thank you Dr Chavez!! read more

See all

The teeth cleaning was nearly painless and thorough. All people in the office were friendly and helpful.

What a warm, friendly, and professional staff from start to finish. I was made to feel like family on my first visit. Everyone made me feel very comfortable even though I came to the office in pain. The heated chairs are so comfortable. It was refreshing to have a one on one consultation with Dr. Chavez, who is a loving, caring person who enjoys what she does and it shows. I'm so excited she is my dentist now! She knows what she is doing and paid close attention to every detail about me. Thank you for caring! read more

I am so grateful to have found this "Gem" of an office. Upon walking in I was warmly greeted by Katie and Angie. They made me feel welcomed right away. The feeling continued on into the back office. Dr. Chavez and her highly skilled assistant Shadi are fabulous when it comes to chair-side manner. Not to mention Dr. Chavez is a perfectionist which I really appreciate. When she showed me the before and after pictures of my tooth, ( which had been causing me discomfort for quite some time) my eyes actually welled up with tears because her work of art was so beautiful, and it really was a ugly mess before (which had been done at another office) Thank you, Dr.Chavez, for such a positive experience! I feel like I have known you ladies for years! read more
