Trina D.

Honestly, I stuck with this office for a year because I had switched dental plans to an HMO in order to look into braces for my bottom teeth. Adult braces are expensive. However, instead of giving me a consultation on straightening my bottom teeth, they told me that I needed a deep cleaning, which includes the use of their very expensive CO2 laser (not covered by insurance). I hesitantly agreed to this course of action as it had been a few years since my last deep cleaning. BTW, my insurance does cover it and it would have been ~$500 for the deep cleaning but the laser popped it up to a whopping $2000 which I had to open a CareCredit account to pay off over a year because it was an unexpected expense. When they were running my credit, the receptionist was like, "Oh, you make enough. You'll be fine." Uh, okay, thanks. The hygienist (who was pleasant) completed the deep cleaning and laser treatments and set me up to come in every 4 months instead of 6. My insurance doesn't cover that so I had to pay extra because it's for periodontal instead of routine. She gave me a fluoride treatment that is covered but the receptionist charged me the wrong amount. My HMO has it for $X and she didn't check and charged me $Y. I pointed it out after requesting an itemized list of charges and she was like, well we can keep that balance and make sure you get it back on your next visit. I should have just asked her to cut me a check. My next visit came and went. Dr. Cho came in and was like, "Oh, we should have looked into braces for you before your wedding." Uh, well that's why I was here initially but you wanted to address my deep cleaning before all that. She apparently only knows teeth. Beside manner is beyond her. The hygienist (who was different this time) insisted on another fluoride treatment. I refused the fluoride treatment because it seemed excessive to have it more than once a year. That's fine but I also didn't get my balance back from them either. They still owe me but I decided that I didn't want to return to this office again. My insurance is now a PPO dental plan and I plan on taking myself to a different dentist. Suddenly my gums were healthier and it seems like the course of treatment was successful. I won't be back.

I have perfectly straight teeth- why would I need veneers or braces?

If you want to be SHAMED by all means continue to go to this office. I'm crying as I leave this review because it's so humiliating. My insurance changed and I was assigned to this office and I should've know just by the first visit it was going to be bad. I was shuffled around and shown the "wall of achievements " by Dr.Cho. Ok I get it you're a dentist you don't need to show it off. After my first appointment And X-rays I was down $2500. Apparently I was in need of a deep clean- which I was ok with BUT I was repeatedly told I needed braces and veneers - look I have good straight teeth. I never in my life was told I needed braces much less veneers. And I quote I was told " you're such a pretty girl - but you need to fix your teeth" Seriously? Ok fast forward to my next cleaning I call before the appointment and ask to please not bombard me with braces and veneers requests. The receptionist was very sweet and understanding and when I arrived the res carpet was rolled out. I was then introduced to a NEW hygienist who has never met me tells me my teeth and gums are stellar after my cleaning and exam. I was quite happy - it was the first time I'd ever felt comfortable in this office. Then comes in Dr. Cho. She comes into examine me and starts to exclaim that my gums have AWFUL recessions and tells the receptionist to come look and she asks the hygienist WHY I wasn't told about this. ( after my clean bill of health from the hygienist??) The receptionist gives the doctor a look and DR.Cho says loudly and smugly " im not TALKING about veneers or braces ..this is DIFFERENT. " I'm literally floored. Since she can't get me with veneers or braces she had to go somewhere else in my mouth to shame me ? How can a person be so insensitive in front of a staff of people and a paying client? Never have I been so humiliated Dr.Cho put me down and shamed me after I specifically said I didn't want to talk about braces or veneers then she rubs it in my face? Never in a professional setting have I ever been treated this way. EVER. This office only cares about money and preying on the insecurities of their clients. I'm still flabbergasted.

No gum disease, no cancer, front teeth NOT shattering.  Proof that their diagnosis were FALSE and used as scare tactics.

Let me start baby saying that I did ALOT of research when choosing who I wanted to re-do my…read moreveneers... After all, your smile is everything, and being a professional photographer I know how important it can be to make a great first impression, so it was extremely important to me to find someone who not only could provide me with a beautiful new smile, but also who was not a "salesman" and who was honest and upfront, and most of all a genuinely good human being! Back in March I had a pretty severe accident while shooting in Alaska... where I slipped in the ice, and my face came crashing into my camera... busting out my front four teeth. They were veneers that I had done about 20 years ago, so ultimately, I knew it was time for me to get new ones, and after busting them out, I began looking for a cosmetic dentist the moment I arrived back home in CA. After meeting with several very high quality and experienced dentists, I have to say I was disappointed! I truly felt like I was being "sold"... which was the opposite of what I wanted! I already knew what I needed - and I knew it would be a steep financial investment and was ready for it, so I kept looking, and came across Dr. Snyder through some Google Research. After reading almost every least review, I knew I wanted a consultation with him! Well... ALL of his AMAZING reviews are for good reason! From the moment I reached out, his office immediately responded to me via text ( bonus points) and then when I came into the office and met his awesome staff, and had my consultation with him, I KNEW I had met the right man for the job! Not only is Dr. Snyder's work gorgeous... but he is a genuinely caring, funny, and down to earth guy! THIS is something that is extremely important to me! He took the time to really get to know me, and asked a ton of questions that others didn't. He never once rushed me, and always made sure that he answered all of my questions before I left. He also sent me to his local lab to make sure that they provided me with the best, natural looking color possible, and let me just say, I LOVE my new smile! I loved it before the accident, but now it is SO much prettier! I ended up going with 4 veneers and 2 crowns this time, and the quality of the veneers and crowns is AMAZING. I was blown away with my experience, and I just can't tell you how HAPPY I am that I came across him and his staff, and how absolutely perfect my experience was!! Even my 6 year old son, who came in with me for a few appointments, loved them! I have definitely found my new cosmetic dentist for life, and I will bee recommending him to everyone I know who wants a gorgeous smile with fabulous customer service! Every time I went in, and continue to go in, I feel like family... not a patient... and that is something you can't put a price tag on!! Thank you SO much Dr. Snyder... you and ALL of your FAB ladies are the BEST!!! Seriously!

(5 +) I can't say…read moreenough good things about Dr. Todd Snyder! I first met him two years ago at Lifetime Fitness in Laguna Niguel (5am club), and I was initially hesitant to see a dentist because I had two small chips in my teeth. However, from the moment I walked into his office, I felt at ease. He said to me "easy fix". Dr. Snyder is not only one of the top cosmetic dentists in Orange County, but he's also incredibly approachable and friendly. He took the time to explain everything and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. The way he color matched and bonded my teeth was absolutely perfect! The results exceeded my expectations, and I couldn't be happier with my smile. - His staff is incredible too. The most genuine people I have ever encountered in an office environment. Aside from his remarkable skills as a dentist, Dr. Snyder is genuinely one of the nicest people I've met. It's clear he cares about his patients and their well-being. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for dental care--whether you're in Orange County or beyond. If you're searching for a talented and compassionate dentist, look no further than Dr. Todd Snyder! Thank you, Dr. Snyder, for your amazing work! I'm looking forward to my next visit!

After being told by 2 other dentists that I wasn't a candidate for veneers, it was Dr. Snyder who made my veneer dreams come true. From my first consultation, I knew this was the best decision.
