If I were getting braces again, I would 100% recommend this orthodontist again. Dr. Christopher and his staff are very friendly. They are clear at communication, explaining the braces/retainers process, and great at building trust with patients. I am extremely happy with how my smile turned out :)

I got traditional braces in my mid 20s. If you're debating, then this is your sign to go for it. Originally, I thought I would only had them on for a year and a half but it took around 3 years (10/2021-10/2024). We didn't remove the braces until both doctor Chris and I are happy with the results. My teeth journey took a bit longer until end of 2025 because I needed more work done. I got a bone graft and tooth implant at a different DDS location and the doctor there also complimented my straight teeth and bite. The whole process costed a lot of money and time but overall it was worth it.

my teeth when i first started treatment

I have been coming to this dentist for my braces about 2 years now. I have always been scared and hated dentist. Dr. Nygeun and the staff have changed that. BEST ORTHODONTIST EVER. Everyone here is very educated in the field and kind, makes you feel like your home. I just got surgery in my gums and the process and results is absolutely amazing. I would trust them and recommend them every time. My teeth are finally, something I love.

I just want to start by saying that Dr. Christopher did an incredible job fixing my underbite without any surgery! The entire process was gentle, and I experienced little to no pain throughout. Dr. Christopher and his amazing team made sure I was taken care of every step of the way. They were always very transparent when explaining what they planned to do with my teeth. Everyone there is genuinely kind and caring. Even when they were clearly busy with other patients, they still made time to have a friendly conversation with me. The transformation of my teeth has been incredible. Not only was my underbite corrected, but they also closed the gap in my two front teeth! Most of this treatment was done at their old location at 15628 Brookhurst St, Westminster. I can only imagine how much more impressive the results would be now at their new, upgraded location. Their new address is: 402 N. Euclid Street, Santa Ana, CA 92703 I've been a patient here for over three years, and I've had nothing but positive experiences. If you're considering any dental work, I highly recommend this place. They are truly exceptional at what they do.

One week in. They got even jankier at the beginning lol had to be patient for the first few months. Still didn't stop me from dating apps

Many, many thanks to Dr. Christopher Nguyen. My teeth were pretty crooked, more than I had realized (I guess never paid that close attention until I got braces), but they were straightened with traditional metal braces in 2.5 years. He definitely knows what he's doing, and the staff there are also really knowledgeable and friendly. My only complaint is that sometimes communication is not always totally clear, and I have to be extra proactive to ask questions for clarity, or like, there were a couple appointments where I didn't actually have to go. So definitely don't be shy and just voice any concerns. For example, I could feel a large gap between two teeth at one point, and I just assumed it was okay until I finally mentioned it one day and he said to not hesitate to tell him stuff like that. So yeah, communication could be a bit better but also don't be shy like me lol

Smile!

My daughter is autistic, and dental appointments can be extremely difficult for her. Before coming here, we had been told by other dentists that she would most likely need general anesthesia to complete her dental work. As her parent, that was something I was very nervous about. Dr. Lisa Nguyen listened to my concerns, understood my daughter's needs, and recommended that we try laughing gas first before going straight to general anesthesia. I'm so thankful she made that recommendation. My daughter was able to have her dental work done, and that meant so much to our family. I also want to thank the dentist who worked on my daughter's teeth. Unfortunately, I didn't get her name, but she was incredibly patient and caring with her, and I truly appreciate everything she did. Both dentists and the entire staff showed so much patience, compassion, and understanding throughout a very difficult appointment. What meant the most to me was how they treated my daughter with kindness and never made us feel like her autism or difficulty with dental treatment was a burden. As a parent of an autistic child, finding a dental team that is willing to be patient, understanding, and try different approaches means more than I can put into words. I especially wanted to share our experience because I know there are other parents of autistic children who may be worried about dental treatment or feel like general anesthesia is their only option. Every child is different, but I'm so grateful Dr. Lisa Nguyen was willing to try laughing gas with my daughter first. Thank you Dr. Lisa Nguyen, the dentist who worked on my daughter, and everyone at Children's FunZone Dental. I truly appreciate the patience, compassion, and care you showed my daughter and our family. This experience meant a lot to us.

They took excellent care of all four of my kids and made what could have been a stressful experience feel much easier for both the kids and us as parents. Two of my children needed treatment for seven cavities, and the staff handled everything with so much care and attention. They explained the procedures clearly, made sure the kids were comfortable, and treated them with genuine kindness throughout the process. I truly appreciate how the entire team took the time to care for each of my children individually. It's not always easy finding a pediatric dental office where your kids feel comfortable and where you can trust the staff, but Growing Smiles has definitely earned our trust.

We have a dental HMO plan and unfortunately, there are almost no pediatric practices that accept it, so we were cash pay. However, this place is pretty reasonable cash prices. It was $135 for my older daughter, and babies under 18 months get their first visit complimentary. It was slightly cheaper than a couple other nearby places, and the reviews were very positive so I decided to try it. The waiting room is small but very neat and tidy. The aesthetic is cute, and they have a few toys for kids but it's not crazy or cluttered. It's actually better that way since kids are just drawn to one or two toys instead of overwhelmed by the options. We were called back shortly after we checked in, and it wasn't very crowded that day when we went. My older daughter laid on the exam chair and they have TVs on the ceiling so she got to watch a show, which she was pleased with. The hygienist and the dentist were both great. They were informative without being patronizing, and they respected my parenting choices and offered advice that fell within the scope of my choices. For example, continuing to breastfeed my young toddler (14 months old) at nighttime does increase the risk of cavities, but they informed me that they understand the benefits of breastfeeding and that the risk increases primarily after 18 months, which was helpful to know. Another example is we discussed fluoride vs. non-fluoride toothpaste. We had been using non-fluoride especially when we have to brush teeth on the go (like trying to be on time to school), so they said if we don't do fluoride every time, then doing it at the nighttime brushing is the most helpful time of day to kill the most bacteria. I appreciated that their advice was realistic and balanced enough to recognize that parents weigh many factors when making parenting decisions, and not all decisions are 100% about good dental hygiene. For my toddlers appointment they mainly wanted to inspect her teeth, do a quick brush and apply fluoride, but it was very short. They had me hold her on my lap face up and just worked on her there. Of course my toddler screamed the entire time, but they worked fast and were sympathetic but not shocked by the behavior. Seems like they have a lot of experience! They gave both my kids stickers and each a new toothbrush at the end. It was a very positive visit and we will definitely be back!

If you take your child here, double check your insurance yourself because the front desk will not. The office recently made a massive administrative error when they failed to use the provider portal to check real time insurance eligibility, and frequency limits before performing x-rays. Instead of absorbing the cost of their own mistake, they are actively calling over 100 families demanding out-of-pocket payments weeks after the appointments are over. When confronted, they admitted the error was theirs and even tried to barter the price from $188 down to $50 just to get a quick cash for their administrative error. When I contacted my dental insurance, they said that the balance was $88 due to frequency of x-rays not $188. While I really enjoyed the Doctor and he is amazing at his care and children I feel like this error is something that should not go unnoticed and other families should be warned about. I strongly believe that they did not act in good faith for this. If you are one of the people who they went ahead and called, please contact the office and ask them to and write it off. This is bad business practice.

Absolute Perfection - A Game-Changer for Kids! ​If I could…read moregive Dr. Jae and the team at Lovebee Pediatric Dentistry more than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat. We came here after a very frustrating experience with our previous dentist, and the difference was night and day. My 8-year-old daughter was experiencing severe tooth pain and couldn't even chew on one side of her mouth, so we were incredibly stressed trying to find the right care. ​From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in the best hands. The office is beautifully designed for children, featuring incredible touches like TVs on the ceiling right above the chairs to keep them perfectly distracted. They also utilize the absolute latest technology, including modern, low-noise water suction devices that completely eliminate the loud, intimidating sounds and discomfort that usually trigger dental anxiety in kids. ​Dr. Jae is a phenomenal clinician and an absolute saint. As a mother herself, her patient management and empathy are unmatched. She used laughing gas to keep my daughter relaxed, constantly showered her with positive encouragement ("you're doing so well!"), and even sang the ABCs to her during the procedure to keep her calm. She also narrated what to expect in a fun, kid-friendly way (like warning her about a "funny taste"), meaning my daughter stayed completely calm and relaxed without tensing up once. ​What I appreciated most as a parent was how thoroughly Dr. Jae explained the treatment plan. She took the time to explain the exact biomechanics of why she recommended stainless steel crowns for the top permanent molars instead of tooth-colored ones--because they are much thinner and conserve far more of the natural, irreplaceable permanent tooth structure. She also placed sealants on the bottom teeth to protect them moving forward. ​Finding a pediatric dentist who combines world-class clinical expertise with genuine, warm, parental empathy is rare. If you are looking for a gentle, zero-anxiety, and highly professional team for your children, do not hesitate to come to Lovebee. Dr. Jae has earned a patient for life with our family!
