This review is years in the making. I don't typically write negative reviews, especially for small…read morebusinesses, because I understand one experience may not reflect the majority. But in this case, I feel it's important to share. I came to this office years ago after moving to Cerritos, right before my wedding, simply looking for a new dentist and a routine cleaning. They had great reviews, which is why I trusted them. From the start, I was told I had extensive issues--multiple cavities needed to be redone and several crowns were recommended. This was surprising to me, as I've consistently gone to the dentist and had never been told I needed such drastic work. Still, I trusted their assessment. The procedures that followed were some of the most painful dental experiences I've ever had. They took hours, felt extremely aggressive, and left me in severe pain afterward--far beyond what I've ever experienced with dental work. I have a high pain tolerance, and this felt very wrong. What was most frustrating was what happened next. I returned multiple times explaining that I couldn't sleep, eat, or function due to the pain. Each time, my concerns were dismissed and attributed to things like not flossing (umm I couldn't floss because of the extreme pain), which didn't make sense given the level of pain I was in. After pushing back repeatedly--especially with my wedding just days away--I insisted something was seriously wrong and requested further evaluation. It turned out I needed three root canals as a result of their prior work. Separately, the crowns that were placed caused ongoing issues. Eating anything with texture would cause gum pain, and I noticed unusual gaps that trapped food. When I brought this up, I was told the only solution was to redo the crowns at additional cost. My crowns also came off. Later, I happened to see a different dentist at the same office (a female provider who may have been temporary), and she immediately noted that the crowns had been placed at an awkward angle. She corrected them, and since then, I've had no pain and no further issues such as crowns falling off. I ultimately switched dentists and have not needed any major dental work since--just routine cleanings every six months, with no recurring problems. Based on what I went through--particularly the aggressive treatment, the outcome, and the dismissal of my concerns--I feel it's important for others to have full context before making a decision.

She made sure to do a thorough exam of my oral hygiene and other factors, to ensure the swiftest healing post-extraction. The extraction went great and the area has healed beautifully!

Knowledgeable, caring, and helpful as I presented my split painful tooth- in an emergency . Before taking out the unsalvageable molar, she made sure to check to my oral hygiene to be sure I would heal to the best of my ability. She did a great job carefully extracting the roots. Thus, the grafted area has healed beautifully with enough bone to place an implant. With all this attention to details, she encourages our own body to make more bone, as possible. She and her team are wonderful and kind. Highly recommend her office!

So happy my dentist recommended him! It was a tad bit pricey, but I couldn't bare the thought of doing a bridge with other perfectly healthy teeth. Money well spent when you think of the service and longevity of the procedure.

I had some concerns about some pain I was feeling several days after and I was able to email in some pictures for him to take a look at and see if things looked normal.

I needed 3 impacted wisdom teeth out and 1 that was slightly erupted. Now if I was a kid and got this done, I wouldn't even bat an eye. But since I'm older now, in my 40s, I understand that with an increase in age comes an increase in risks. He explained all the risks and I still felt very comfortable proceeding. IV sedation was the chosen method of anesthesia. Didn't feel anything honestly. Once the drugs started, probably within 3 mins I was out. Not sure if I was actually sleeping with my eyes closed or maybe they were open and I didn't know what was going on. In any case, I don't remember anything and when I came to, it felt like it was maybe 5-10 mins that had passed. It was quite surreal tbh, and I would recommend anyone doing this procedure to do IV sedation. I think general would be overkill (and more expensive), but that's just my opinion. Road to recovery now. Thanks Dr. Adamous!

The first dentist who saw me did a full X-ray, proposed a treatment plan, and provided a bill for the treatments if I decided to go forward. While her bedside manner was good, I spent almost two hours in her office with just a consultation, cost of proposed treatments and X-rays-- no actual treatment. She seemed very confident in her treatment plan. I'm the type of person who gets a second opinion when it comes to my medical and dental health, which led me to Peppertree Dental. Dr Vasa was calm, clear, and straightforward about his proposed treatment plan. He offered different options to help keep me CALM during the upcoming procedures. Before I left, he even asked if I wanted to get my tooth temporary filled right then to prevent any infection while I waited to schedule the treatments, and it was done at no cost (this was not offered to me at the other dentistry). I was out of their office in just 30 minutes with a temporary filling. I must thank Miguel for being gentle while he applied the filling and for walking me through the process. I think I may have found the right dentistry for me. My treatment is scheduled next week, and I will update this review afterward. I think I may be able to convince my husband to switch to Dr Vasa.
