I needed an in-depth consultation as a second opinion on a diagnosis I received from my dentist. I am so very grateful for the detailed information I received after a thorough evaluation. The suggested steps given are greatly appreciated and helpful. read more

I am so happy I was referred to Dr. K. I had an aggressive dentist who I didn't know was doing unnecessary work until down the line. When I came here, my previous dentist of 10 years had filled all my teeth aggressively re-doing fillings every 2 years or less. The amount of tooth I had was diminishing fast. I'm young and haven't eaten sugar and minimal carbs for 8 years. Then, after re-doing all the fillings in my mouth he told me I needed 3 root canals when I was in no pain. I knew I needed a second opinion. I was referred by close family to Dr. K. At my consult he spent 1hr 30 mins with me telling me what he thought the history of each tooth was first and then I told him what happened. It was the most comprehensive care I've ever gotten. He suggested I needed none of the root canals and in fact no work whatsoever except a small filling on a tooth was causing me pain (the one causing pain was not even a tooth the other dentist wanted to do a root canal on). Dr K has continued to treat me as a patient even when I just want a filling or some chipped teeth fixed even though it isn't his specialty. He has such an artistic eye, I had one tooth chip half way off 10 years ago and had got it done by various dentists but his job was by far the most complimentary to my tooth shapes and has lasted the longest. His compassion for my new-found anxiety with dentists and ability to explain calmly every step of the way is unparalleled. I can't say enough good things. I wouldn't say he's insanely affordable but you get what you pay for and dentistry is no place to "cut corners" like I use to. It'll end up costing more in the end. If you want an extremely conservative and understanding dentist, he is the way to go. Wish I met him when I was younger! read more

Dr. K is a nicest person on the planet and one of a greatest pro in OC with a super friendly supporting team.

Copy of Dental board complaint I originally saw Daniel Kantarovich for a cavity repair. Decay had presented itself below a previous filling and was painful. The doctor removed and put in a new filling. The filling did not resolve the pain issue. The doctor stated a second attempt may resolve the issue and removed the new filling and placed a temp filling in the tooth. It was recommended to me that the tooth decay and repair attempts had damaged the tooth deep enough to necessitate a root canal. After this, I discussed with this dentist along with a root canal specialist. All parties agreed on the treatment and started the process. The plan was to complete the crown, then before the permanent crown is implanted, to complete the root canal, then return for the permanent placement (so as not to damage the permanent crown. After the crown was completed, I had received a notice of denial as the dentist did not report the tooth as damaged enough to require a crown or root canal. In addition, I was contacting the dentist to have my permanent crown added. The office informed me I need to have a new procedure to install a post. This was not part of the plan discussed by the dentist previously. Not only did the dentist charge me for a 2nd filling as the first one did not work (I am ok with this trial and error attempt), now he is trying to charge me for a new crown procedure, previously not discussed, mid procedure, along with money the insurance didn't cover due to improper information submission. Unless you are willing to pay twice what the dentist quotes you, stay away read more

I have been seeing Dr. Kantarovich for nearly 15 years now and I can't say enough great things about his dental practice! I really appreciate his thoroughness and attention to detail and his assistants are fantastic as well. I would highly recommend his practice for your dental needs. read more

I needed a root canal!!! I dreaded going because I've had root canals done before and they have been awful. So I wasn't looking forward to another one. Well I can't say I understand why, but this one was extraordinarily NOT painful. At all! Except for paying the bill. I don't know why this was so different but this was my first time with this endodontist. . So I guess he made the difference. Great job!! read more

Dr. K's office staff AND Dr. K are amazing!!!! Once again they continue to meet my expectations and then some. I HIGHLY recommend him!!!!

Dr. K did my veneers several years ago and they are still beautiful today. I was in the dental field so I know the differance between good and outstanding. Dr. K's work is amaizing. He has the skills to enhance anyones smile and is extremely esthetic conscience. I thought I was picky and demanded perfection but I met my match. Dr. K is by far the best dentist/prosthodontist in the south west region (Ca, Az, Wa, Or, Nv Co). I have refered several people to him over the years. I respect him and his work more now than ever. This is the last dentist you will ever need. You won't be disapointed. read more

Daniel Kantarovich, DDS - Dr. Kantarovich gave me something to smile about every day. - General Dentistry Near Me - Orange, California

Dr. K has been my dentist for Close to 25 years. He is hands down the BEST out there. He has had to take extra time due to my TMJ issues, and has come in on a weekend for an emergency appointment. He is brilliant at his job. I have moved out of the area, and will gladly travel back to town for his expertise. Thank you Doctor K! read more

Dr. Kantarovich is awesome. No matter how hopeless you think your situation may be, Dr. K can take care of you. He insures that everything is done to perfection which I am now learning that if not done correctly, causes major problems down the road. He is the only dentist I have ever seen that does not bounce around between two or three other customers during my appointment. When you are there, he is completely focused on you. He really does care about your teeth....and I can not imagine you would find many people that know more about teeth than Dr. K. read more

I used to go to Dr. Kantarovich on a referral from my orthodontist and found him to be an honest and good dentist as far as I could tell. I liked him enough that I recommended my boyfriend to the office as well and we both made the 30 minute drive for many appointments. Sadly, the way he and his office staff treat patients is so appalling that neither my boyfriend nor I will return. My bf recently had an appointment for a cleaning and we ended up having a horrific morning at the vet with our puppy facing emergency surgery in a pretty dire situation. My bf stepped out of the vet's office in the midst of this mess to call and let them know he wouldn't be making it to his appointment. Even though he told them it was an emergency for our dog, the receptionist told him he owes $65 for his missed appointment. The receptionist even called back several minutes later and put Dr. Kantarovich on the phone to condescendingly tell my boyfriend "I'm not saying you're a bad guy," but because he missed his appointment, he put Kantarovich in the hole $65 because that's what he has to pay his hygienist to be there whether the patient shows or not. Huh? My bf didn't have the time or energy to argue, and while I was disgusted with the way they handled the situation, I didn't think there was any way they would actually follow through on that. Today, my bf received his $65 missed appointment bill in the mail. I find this office to be incredibly callous, greedy, and well, disgusting. read more

STAY AWAY!!! If I could give him zero stars, I would. He and his staff pushed me repeatedly and aggressively on getting an entire set of x rays. I explained that I just had just done them not too long ago and didn't want to do another set. After relentlessly pushing me on it, they said I would probably need them before starting my orthodontic treatment and asked if I would get them if my orthodontist wanted them. I said yes and they reported back that they called him and he said he wanted a set - so I reluctantly agreed. Well, turns out that when I went to my orthodontist later that exact same day - he said he didn't need them. They totally lied to me and it makes me wonder what else they potentially lie to their patients about in terms of cavities etc - just to make a buck. Definitely won't be going back and will likely file a complaint with the medical board. Also as I started asking other dentists their opinion of him, I got a lot of "no comment" - which speaks volumes in terms of his reputation. read more

I had 2 very difficult extractions that 1 dentist and 1 oral surgeon couldn't do and Dr K. handled them no problem with minimal discomfort. He suggested a bone graft on one, and implants on both. 5 years later they function just like my original teeth and I couldn't be happier....I now drive an hour to go to Dr. K for my cleanings. He and his staff are that good...and worth it. 5 stars all the way. read more

I am a winter snowbird who is always out in SoCal for months on end. Who wants to stay in Chicago when it's cold? I had a broken molar (due to biting on an almond that split the tooth in half on a Sunday of course). A girlfriend recommended Dr K. I had a great experience. The staff is always helpful and engaging and Dr K did good work under a tight timeline. I loved my dental hygienist and will be using their services in the future. You get what you pay for and it was the first time in decades that I enjoyed my dental visits. Granted, I have a fortune invested in my mouth since I am 73 years old. read more

I have been under Dr. Kantarovich's care for over 10 years now. He is FANSTASTIC!.He's extremely thorough, knowledgeable and very light handed and Very funny too.... I can barely feel the anesthetic shot when given! My three kids and myself see him twice a year for regular check ups and cleaning. His entire staff is cheery and very professional and I love how accomodating they are. I basically go every January and June and am able to have us seen back to back. That saves me a lot of time going to 8 appointments a year, down to two longer appointments. And our teeth all look spectacular! Thank you Dr. K! read more

My mother had raved about her dentist for years...but when I actually met Dr K, I was more than impressed. He took care of us quickly and his work was excellent. Highly recommend him! It feels so good to know you have access to a dentist like him... read more

Dr. K is by far the best dentist and cosmetic dentist I've ever been to... He has done three implants for me and I drive all the way from the San Fernando Valley because he is the absolute best. His staff is top notch and always friendly. I cannot recommend Dr. K highly enough. His first rate work and attention to detail are unparalleled... And all the work done for me is absolutely beautiful looks great and is comfortable as well. The best cosmetic and restoration dentist in California bar none. I even come to Dr. K twice a year for cleanings rather than go to someone closer. If I could give him six stars I would. read more

This was a superb dental experience! Fun, interesting and accommodating staff kept me well entertained during all procedures. Thanks again!! read more

Excellent experience with Dr. K every time. The staff is wonderful and Dr. K is extremely thorough and thoughtful. I was urged to see him from my orthodontist and I'm happy I did. read more

Dr K is okay for doing a normal crown. But when it comes down to difficult cases, he cannot deliver what he promises. He is very confident he can do about anything when you meet him at first. But when you appear to be a more difficult case than he anticipated, he gets impatient, wants extra money, his bedside manners change, etc.. In my case, I spent much money (over 40k$ in total) to restore my teeth and bite. He could not get my bite right, and - as it appears now after seeing other (more capable) dentists - he misdiagnosed my case and did not refer me to the right people to correct my bite. Dr K refuses to admit his failure and does not want to refund anything. I wasted much, much money on Dr K, based on his super confident and friendly attitude at first. People, don't be fooled by this dentist - there are better dentists in case you are a "difficult case". read more

I've been going to Dr K for over 15 years. He was able to fix all of the bad work that other Dentists had screwed up. I've had major reconstructive work done by him, and it has all been perfect. I have many nightmare stories from other Dentists, but no more with Dr. K. He is amazingly perfect at what he does. Estelle is also terrific as his front office manager. read more

Dr. Kantarovich has been absolutely amazing! My teeth were an absolute mess when I first came to see him several years ago. He guided me through selecting the best treatment plan for me and my budget. His staff is very professional and caring. I cannot thank him enough for giving me my smile back! read more
