No cleaning available unless I agreed to pay 700-1500 for derp cleaning. Their affiliate did not suggest any deep cleaning but decided I had an infection and needed a removal and implant for 4,000. You decide. read more

Dr. Yum and his staff are top notch! I originally fell upon his practice when I was in between dentists and a veneer fell off, he got me in immediately and was so kind, gentle and HONEST. I became a patient soon after and have not regretted it one bit. I had been in need of some dental work for quite some time and finally decided to see about getting insurance approval. Joleen, his front office super woman, was diligent with my insurance and was able to get this approved...I cannot thank her enough, she's awesome!! The end result exceeded my expectations and truly gave me my smile back! Highly recommend Camarillo Dental Practice! read more

Dr Yum is an amazing person and dentist. He listens to his patients and does not push any dental procedures that you are not comfortable doing. My whole family trust in his care. read more

Incredible, incredible, incredible experience. ... Here's the story: my wife and I had great dental insurance during our nearly 8 years in San Diego. During that time, we never had any issues with our teeth, and never used our insurance for anything other than routine visits. We moved to Los Angeles a few months ago, and had to switch dental insurances. Our new insurance placed a SIX MONTH waiting period before they cover anything. So nice of them. :-) And OF COURSE, only a couple months after the move - my front tooth (which I chipped and had filled as a teenager) breaks - leaving me with a hillbilly smile. And really exasperating the whole hillbilly persona, I was uncovered by insurance, due to the "waiting period". (It would just be too easy for the tooth to break during the 8 years we had great dental, wouldn't it) So I did some research, and purchased a dental discount plan (through 1dental.com - the Aetna access plan - $7.95/month - it's a great discount plan that typically gives a 25% - 50% discount on dental procedures). I started looking around at the dentists in my area who accepted the discount plan (Glendale / North LA), but I simply did not trust any of them. Los Angeles is such a great city, but it's such a big city, and it's getting harder and harder to find businesses (of any sort - let alone dentists) that have that personal touch & customer-centric business ethic. So I decided to return to my VenCo roots, and see what the Camarillo area had to offer. I grew up in the Camarillo area - and what drove me nuts about Camarillo as a teenager is the same thing that drove me back to Camarillo this week for my dental work: the small-town environment where everybody knows their neighbor's names, where small local business still thrive, and where business owners care more about the people than the profits. Camarillo Dental Practice embodies what I'm referring to. They were refreshingly helpful and clear over the phone. They accepted the discount plan. The dentist, Dr Eric Yum, was honest, personable, and treated me as if I've been his patient for years. He was very upfront, very understanding of our "out of pocket" situation, and did not try to sell me on less important procedures. He did a complete exam, full set of x-rays, fixed my front tooth, and did some preventative work on some other teeth. All in all, I estimate it was at least $1,000 worth of work without insurance or discounts. With my discount, the final bill was $526. I purchased their "$50 for $100" Yelp deal, which brought my total down to $426, and my actual expense to $476. If you've ever been in a similar situation, you know that dental work can be stressful, unnerving, expensive, and you don't always know who you can trust. Well, you can trust at least one dentist: Dr Yum & Camarillo Dental Practice. Can't recommend them highly enough. ... Incredible, incredible, incredible experience. read more

I LOATH looking for new medical/dental providers! It's nearly impossible to know what you're getting in to. I lucked out with Camarillo Dental. They are very accommodating, very friendly, it's a clean, modern office. Dr. Yum is great. I went in with a long-standing dental issue. Dr.Yum laid out all of my options, the probabilities of success for each, and the steps and impacts of the procedures. At no point did he try to sell me anything. His advice was strictly informative and I got to make all the decisions. I cannot express how refreshing it is to not be sold. Personally, that alone has cemented them as my dental facility for as long as I am in the area. Now, the down sides. I am giving them five stars because they suit MY needs perfectly. They operate almost exactly how I want to be treated as a patient. The only thing I am not a fan of is the non-disclosure of approximated prices. Unfortunately, this is an industry standard for these types of practices. They would/could not tell me any ballpark of how much the work was going to cost until I had already sat for the exam and consultation. I understand why they (nearly every dentist/doctor/vet ever) do this, but I feel manipulated by going in blind with absolutely no idea whether a place is going to be extortionate. Another note would be... how to word this... They give you a LOT of options. The decision really is yours. No one on the staff from the payment woman, the hygienist or the dentist gave me a declarative sentence about my teeth. They give you pragmatic options and probabilities. If you are looking for that type of authoritative leadership to make your health decisions, I don't think this place is for you. This place is for me, though. They've already proven to me that they are a place I can trust to give me an honest assessment of what they can/cannot do and the freedom for me to make those decisions myself. I feel as though they really care about doing quality, honest dental work and I really respect that. read more

Outstanding office staff and doctor. Highly recommend this office. Front desk is unbelievably courteous and professional. I genuinely appreciate that Dr. Yum explains and addresses any dental concerns. Office is clean. Lots of parking and convenient location. read more

GO here! Dr. Yum is awesome, friendly, and TRUTHFUL. He doesn't try to "sell" you on work you don't need. I came in for a second opinion and got more time with him and more understanding of the issue than I did at the other place! He also quoted me MUCH less than the other place did and gave me options. He was so nice.... In fact, everyone here is helpful and friendly. Please go here. These are the type of people who do good in our community and give back. They are good at what they do and good people. read more

Can't say enough good things about Camarillo Dental Practice. From their receptionists, to their hygienists, to Dr. Yum. I was never a fan of the dentist, but I actually enjoy coming here because I know regardless of the procedure, the staff here is highly trained and I never experience pain. Been going to this practice for about 3 years now, thanks Dr. Yum and staff for putting me back on track!!! read more

Very attentive and courteous staff. Dr was very informative. Clean environment. Noticed they sanitize everything. Super!

I do not hate going to the dentist, but I do hate when dentists try to sell you stuff you don't need. The dentists here don't do that; in fact they explain your options and the front desk will even calculate what it will cost you with your insurance plan, saving you calls to your insurance for research. Dr. Yum is really nice and laid-back and Angie the dental hygienist is great-understood that I have sensitive teeth and did her best to avoid agitating them! I highly recommend these dentists. An added perk is that I can get 5pm appointments! read more

After looking for a good dentist in the area for my girlfriend, I came across this dentist office and I'm glad we did. Setting up the initial visit was easy enough, just giving patient information and verifying insurance information. The front office staff was very polite and considerate. The day of the appointment went smoothly. We arrived at 0845 for a 0900 appointment and filled out 3 forms as the dental hygienists were arriving. One other patient arrived about 10 minutes after us and was called back immediately, which is understandable for established patients. About 2-5 minutes later we were called back by our hygienist, Kim. Kim was professional, very nice, easy to talk to and did her job very skillfully. She also gave excellent advice to my girlfriend. The initial appointment was 2 hours long and included x-rays and cleanings. After the cleaning, Dr. Yum sat and talked with us about any specific needs that needed to be addressed. After mentioning plans for braces that we had set up with Dr. Bruce Abbink, we discussed potential needs for cavities to be filled, extractions, and the potential need for an oral maxillofacial surgery. We were advised to talk to Dr. Abbink about how all this can be scheduled around the braces. The only reason for knocking off 1 star was for the vagueness on the treatment plan (Dr. Yum was unsure of the exact number of cavities were present). The office is great and I would definitely recommend this place to those looking for a good dentist. read more

I am a very nervous dental patient who hasn't been in for over five years. I was looking for a new dentist in this area and couldn't have been happier with Dr. Yum and Lauri. They were super chill with me being anxious and were very encouraging and helpful. You know how some offices are preachy or want to up sell you or are scoldy? None of that here. Highly recommend. My teeth feel and look way better and they fit me in quickly to do one follow up minor filling. Best office ever! I am not going to be afraid to go to the dentist going forward. :) A big step for me. read more

My 91 year old father was in need of a new dentist and based on other reviews on Yelp, I selected Dr Yum. Our first visit was fantastic. Staff was extremely accommodating and conciliatory towards my aging father and did their best to ensure his comfort. Dr Yum was professional and kind and took time to listen to Dad and make sure his concerns were addressed. The office is extremely efficient and I really appreciate the e-reminders of all his coming appointments! Thank you Dr Yum and your entire staff!! read more

Dr. Yum and all the staff were great. I came in for a concern regarding a wisdom tooth and a general exam. He thoroughly laid out a road map of everything I would need to do, when I should do it and what's important vs. what I can hold off on. Calm, communicative and took his time explaining all aspects of my dental health. More importantly, I never felt belittled/ unheard and I felt my concerns were addressed. Dr. yum being an all around friendly person was "the cherry on top". I found this practice by chance but will go back to Dr. Yum (as well as glowingly recommend to all my friends and family) as first preference. read more

Best dentist I have ever been to! I have been a patient of Dr. Yum for 5 years and he is very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and does not try to oversell unnecessary procedures. Before discovering Dr. Yum, I've had dentists try to sell me thousands of dollars worth of procedures... now in hindsight I can see they were trying to rob me blind as I have had ZERO problems!! I am so fortunate that I got a second and third opinion and finally found this Dentist. Also, everyone in the office is so kind and professional. If you're looking for a dentist, look no further. read more

How much is good service worth to you? To me, it's worth A LOT. To me and my family, it's worth forgoing our network dentist and paying out of pocket. And before you say, "...well that must be nice to have expendable money...", I don't have expendable money. I'm a single parent and solely care for my two adult autistic children. We're going to have to give up a few nights out at the movies and maybe we won't have a summer vacation this year, but I know we are in good hands (the best hands), I know the work done to our teeth is as top notch as it could possibly be and I know I won't have expensive complications that I'll have to deal with later down the road. That's why I only go to The Camarillo Dental Practice. I had a toothache that wouldn't let up and they got me in and fixed me up the same day. Your teeth are forever and there are a lot of dentists out there that only see the bottom line and will do what it takes to make as much money as they can. This is how I came to be Dr. Yum's patient in the first place. I had been to two other dentists before seeing him. One said I had 9 cavities and needed two crowns, the other said I had 7 cavities and needed two root canals. Unfortunately for those other guys, my mom didn't raise a sucker and I had been a graphic designer for years. I could see what they were doing, they were adjusting the contrast to make it look like I had more cavities with major decay. They were trying to con me by making it look worse than it really was. I declined treatment and insisted on another opinion. My next stop was The Camarillo Dentist Practice. The staff was great right off the bat, you could tell they liked their jobs. Dr. Yum was friendly, funny and sincere. He was honest and took pride in his work and his practice. He didn't adjust the contrast or try to up-sell me in any way. That's when I knew, insurance or not, rich or poor, this guy was going to be my dentist. I would just have to make it work financially because it's a great investment. That was well over 10 years ago and I still have all of my own teeth (minus the wisdom tooth he pulled today). read more

Dr. Yum.... the BEST dentist I've ever gone to in my entire life. I've been going to him since 2004 even though my husband is in the military and we've moved from one coast to the other. There was a couple year lapse in my twice a year visits while we were in Rhode Island, but that's it! I recommend every single person that asks for a dentist in the area to go to Camarillo Dental Practice. Dr. Yum is wonderful, very personable and it's so refreshing to find that in a dentist. I really hate going to the dentist because I get deep anxiety over it. But he always takes great care of me and it never ends up as bad as I imagine it will! ;) I also take the kids to him too and I think doing that will ease their anxiety in the future and hopefully they'll never get it like me! They like going so that's great! Highly recommend!! read more

My far one of the best dental offices I have been to, Dr. Yum and his staff are wonderful. I had a root canal and crown done, his office worked with me to get the best price and maximize my dental benefits. He's nonaggression and compassionate. Definitely an office I would recommend to friends and family. read more

I've been a patient of Dr Yum for 6 or 7 years and he is an unbelievable Dentist ,I used to be afraid of going to see a Dentist until I went to see him, just a caring and concerned person, his staff is second to none,always attentive and always helpful, I recommend this Dental office 100%,I do put the word out when asked who does your teeth and at 52 my smile is something I'm proud of and now I'm more aware of what is necessary to take care of my teeth read more

I have had nothing but great experiences every time I see Dr. Yum or his staff. He genuinely cares about his patients and always addresses any issues I am having with my teeth. I can always get worked in when I have an emergency and scheduling is a breeze. After I had major pain in my tooth that Dr. Yum fixed I got a call the next day to see how I was doing. His staff is so kind and always have a smile on their faces. I recommend anyone especially afraid of going to the dentist like myself to come to this office! read more

Look, no one loves a trip to the dentist. Still, if you need to go, there's really no place quite like this practice. My husband and I have moved a ton in the past 10 years and finding a new dentist is no easy task. You want someone who knows what he's doing, understands your needs, and gets you through it as painlessly as possible. I've actually called medical practices and decided not to make an appointment, all based upon the person answering the phone. I suspect that if a practitioner truly cares about his patients he will make sure that everyone on staff represents his office well. Diana, the receptionist who answered when I first called Camarillo Dental Practice, was amazing. She was polite, professional, and even called my insurance company so that I would know what kinds of fees I was facing. While it was because of Diana that I originally made the appointment, I was glad I did. Lorena, the dental hygienist who worked with me, was extremely knowledgeable and ridiculously patient as she answered my questions. Finally, Dr. Yum was fabulous. He took time to explain everything he was doing, to ask if I had any questions, and even followed up the day after my treatment with a call to make sure everything was okay. Also -- and I've never experienced this before -- Dr. Yum gave me his cell phone number in case any questions arose. I agree with the comments of a previous poster who said, "He doesn't try to sell you on work you don't need." He simply told me what was going on with my teeth and gave me an idea of what I may need to have done at some point. Because I felt so good about the office (and because I'd like to keep these teeth for the rest of my natural life), I scheduled the work that needed to be done right away. I can't say that I enjoy getting a crown on a tooth, but it has certainly never been as easy as this. read more

Just came here today to have wisdom teeth extracted. Although I live about two hours away from Camarillo I made the trip because I've heard nothing but good things about this practice. It was my first time here and they made me feel very welcome. Dr. Chow took my xrays and made sure the xrays were clear enough to see my wisdom teeth. He is very nice and explained to me what needed to be taken out. He also asked about some other recent things I had done with my other dentist. He then did a check up of my teeth and told me I needed a few things done. Lucky for me the oral surgeon Dr. Landa was here today. I went there thinking I was only going to get two extracted but I ended up getting four done. I figured I might as well endure the pain all at the same time. The only painful thing about Dr. Landa's extraction was when he gave me the shots to numb my mouth. Besides that, the extraction of my wisdom teeth was very quick! It took only about an hour. He was very thorough about his work. Needless to say the extraction was painless. When I was about to leave I started feeling some pain and they were more than happy to give me a couple more shots for my long drive home since I was getting my prescription for the Vicodin and antibiotics at a pharmacy near my house. If I ever have a problem that my local dentist can't fix I would be more than happy to make the drive out to Camarillo to see these helpful doctors. Their pricing is not overpriced at all. Considering the great patient care they give. I definitely recommend this practice to anyone who is looking for honest dentist who will do the job right. read more

We have recently moved out of the state but I wanted to leave a review of the best dentist and staff I've ever come across! In the five years we lived in Camarillo Dr. Yum was our dentist. My kids were not afraid to go to the dentist every 6 months, the staff made them feel very comfortable. I had several fillings and my wisdom teeth removed without any issues over these years. Diana was always welcoming and so sweet. I'm looking at dentists now in my new location and miss that feeling of trust that I had with Camarillo Dental. read more

I just can't say enough great things about Dr Yum and his staff! The front of office of Diana and Elliana are friendly, helpful, and professional. The hygenists are awesome and Dr. Yum makes going to the dentist an enjoyable experience! If you are looking for a dentist, look no further and call Camarillo Dental Practice. read more

Very impressed. Friendly and no upsell or fake diagnosis. Dr. Yum is patient and a good listener. Loved the pleasant staff at front desk. Going on our second year and renewed our family plan. We tried two other dentists in Camarillo that we had bad experiences with before we found dr. Yum. read more

Although I'm not really a fan of Yelp I wanted to leave a review of my experiences with the Camarillo Dental Practice staff and Dr Yum. I had neglected my oral health by putting off going to the dentist for about a decade. I knew I was going to need some serious work done and was not looking forward to it. Growing up seeing the dentist always gave me anxiety and I found the staff and Drs to be judgmental a lot of the time. "Do you floss?" "Ummm, yes" "LIAR!" Perhaps I never experienced a dental office with good "bedside manner" before. Whatever the reason, I dreaded the dentist. The time had come to make an appointment. I needed it all. The works. X rays, deep cleanings, an implant, wisdom tooth removed, a root canal maybe...I researched local dentists and I read some good reviews about this office and made my appointment. I have since had 4 appointments including a total deep cleaning and some one on one time with Dr Yum. I can honestly say that every experience has been a pleasure. From extremely personable and helpful front office staff to the hygienists who all treated me with wonderful care, to Dr Yum who explained my situation thoroughly, laid out my options and gave me his recommendations. I felt very comfortable with him and knew I had found my dentist. A few other little things I liked are the email appointment reminders where you can click and confirm an appointment and the follow up calls just to make sure I was doing alright after a procedure. They were also very accommodating to my scheduling needs and did their best to fit me in with the little options I gave them. A+ staff. Go see them, you won't regret it. read more

Dr. Yum is the only dentist I will schedule appointments with. He is awesome! He explains procedures before they're done, goes over costs and they're always accurate, never hidden fees or charges, and he's very informative but leaves the decision making up to you, which I truly appreciate. His opinions are always based on his experience as a dentist, your well-being and also your financial situation, which always makes me feel more comfortable and happy. His staff is friendly and always happy to help. I've been going to him since 2003, and I truly trust him and his suggestions for the well being of my teeth and mouth. read more

Great Dentist. Honest, professional, and trustworthy. Dr. Yum and his office do a great job of giving you the answers to your dental issues. He gives you all your options and takes care of your needs as a patient. I would recommend Dr. Yum to anyone. read more

Amazing is not enough for this Dentist! I went here for the first time the other day with a horrible toothache, and they were able to get me in the same day!! The dentist Dr. Doung is AMAZING! He is really friendly, and thorough with his work! It was only my first time there and I was treated like I've been a patient for years. I have to get a root canal done and they called the specialist to see me within 3 days and he is going out of his way, this dentist is the best I have ever been to I can not say enough positive things about them :) read more

Dr Yum is the gentlest dentist I have ever been to. I highly recommend him to anyone, especially those who do not like to a dentist. He is the best! read more

Our family of 3 has been with Dr. Yum since we moved to Camarillo in 2007. He is the best dentist I have ever had (I'm 50+). He's honest. He does not recommend work that does not need to be done. Decisions are collaborative. The only way we're leaving this place is if we move out of town. read more

The worst dentist I have ever seen. The dental higentist that cleaned me teeth tore into my gums so bad, she was unnesicarily rough and rude.the dentist is friendly but also lacking in skill, he dug into my gums polishing a tooth and left a divet that took weeks to heal. And the kicker they charged me at the office and sent me a bill later. So shady stay far away from these guys. read more

My husband and I have been trusting Dr. Yum for over 2 years now. Dr. Yum is very trustworthy dentis, I had tried 2 different dentist, they tried make me to get a root canal and deep cleaning, procedures that I don't even needed. We recommend Dr.Yum for everyone who looking for a good dental care!! read more

I am a patient of Dr Yum for almost 5 years now and today he made me smile again, literarily ! I had my " worry " tooth fixed, the left front tooth who had shifted so bad, that I rarely wanted to smile. So Dr Yum bonded the tooth and did it so great, that I can't stop smiling! Thanks to him, my teeth are better then ever and he is so patient and works with you, gives you options and even makes the most anxious person (me) calm and not afraid. Dr Yum is a true dental artist ! read more

DR. Yum was great and Iv been coming here for sometime but The staff has changed. one star because I was expecting a friendly welcome like usual but there was a new girl there and she was very very rude. No smile. No hello. Nothing. But the girls behind her noticed and said hello and treated me very well. A lady with blondish hair I believe was the most helpful and answered all the questions I had The new girl was rude to staff and seemed like she didn't want to be there. Dr yum was great over all. No complaints. He knows what he is doing. Gets the job done asap and properly. I will be back but hope it gets better. read more

Today I had an 11:30 appointment. I ended up leaving the office at 11:55 not having been seen. I have never been seen in this office within 15 minutes of my appointment time. It's irritating to me to think the dentist has no respect for my time. I have requested they get my file together so I can take it another dentist her in town. read more

My husband, my mother in-law and I all are patients of Dr. Yum and have been for many years. He and his wonderful staff are the best! I have had extensive work done and am very pleased with he results. We would not consider going to anyone else. He takes the time to thoroughly explain options, planned procedures, & answer any questions. Dr. Yum and his staff are thoughtful, caring and the office is well run with minimal waiting time. read more

An overwhelming fear of the dentist and a painful and costly experience, caused me to take a four year hiatus from caring for my oral health. I was experiencing some pain and I searched online for the best dentist out here in Camarillo. The Camarillo Dental Practice kept popping up, and after reading the Yelp reviews, I took a leap. MAN am I glad I did. I have to have some work done in the next few weeks, but I'm honestly VERY excited. The staff, as whole, made me feel like a friend, not a patient. I was never belittled or embarrassed because of gross delay in oral healthcare. I was able to ask A LOT of questions without feeling rushed. I had the most gentle teeth cleaning, and it felt like I was talking to my friend whilst the hygienist was caring for me. My husband is in the military and we move often, but I hope we are able to be here for longer, because I fear I will never find a team quite like this to take care of me and my family!!!!! I don't think that there are enough thanks that I can give to everyone for what they have done for my oral health, my OLD fear of dentists and for my overall health (I have heart disease and I know oral health and heart health are linked). PLEASE don't hesitate to make an appointment whenever you need something major OR minor in regards to your oral health... The military is like a big family and we rely on word of mouth especially when we move so often, I will be sure to spread the word like wildfire about how amazing the Camarillo Dental Practice is! read more

I was a patient of Dr. Eric Yum for several years. He was always pleasant and seamed to do good work, however last month he proposed to remove my crown, remove decay under the crown, do a root canal, place a post and place a new crown on the tooth. I told him I wanted to see another dentist about doing an implant. I have four implants and I am very happy with the results. Dr. Yum said some people have a fetish with implants and left the room abruptly. After getting a second opinion I was told that a bridge would be the best way to proceed as the procedure Dr. Yum proposed would not last more than a year due to the lack of bone around the tooth. I called Dr. Yum and asked that he return my call to discuss the findings of the implant dentist. I called Dr. Yum the following day and again asked that he return my call. When he failed to return my calls I seeked out a third opinion from a local dentist. He agreed that Dr. Yum' procedure would be a short term solution and also suggested a bridge as the best long term solution. I am a retired pharmacist and have had dealings with physicians and dentist for many years. I would suggest looking for a dentist that would encourage a patient to get a second opinion and have the professionalism to return his patients phone calls. Sincerely, Jeff Dr. Yum, I read your comments and you were with a patient, your office manager assured me she would give you the message. Perhaps in the future when a patient takes the time to call you will return their calls instead of being a mind reader. An apology would be start, your cover up statement only makes your Honesty look suspect. Bottom line I was planning on asking you if you could do the bridge. Hopefully you will encourage your patients on getting a second opinion and return all patients phone calls. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Yum for 5 years now, and couldn't recommend a better dental practice. Dr. Yum never makes you wait, he is incredibly professional and honest about his pricing. His entire staff makes your feel like a valued patient. read more
