It truly feels welcoming from the moment you walk in. The hygienists are incredible: kind, patient, and thorough. I always feel comfortable and at ease, which says a lot because I used to despise going to the dentist (I avoided it for probably 15 years... yikes). This office completely changed that for me. The space itself is ultra-modern, beautiful, and spotless, but more importantly, the quality of care is truly top-notch. Dr. Kim is clearly very busy and successful, yet he is so approachable, down-to-earth, and genuinely caring. He takes the time to explain things and makes you feel valued--not rushed. I also really appreciate that he lives and works in the community he serves, which is one of the many reasons I continue to support--and enthusiastically recommend--his practice. I rave about this office to anyone who will listen. If you're looking for exceptional dental care in an environment that feels comfortable and personal, this is the place. Highly, highly recommend.

Horrible Experience at Desert Dentist - I Wouldn't Recommend This Place to Anyone…read more I visited Desert Dentist in Apple Valley on December 30, 2024, while I was pregnant, and it was one of the worst dental experiences I've ever had. I went in for a filling, after getting a crown from them earlier that same year. While doing the filling, I felt sharp pain and told the dentist. Shockingly, she laughed at me like it was a joke. She gave me a couple more numbing shots and finished the work, but I immediately felt like something was off. I told her again, but she shrugged it off and laughed. I don't remember her name, but she was an Asian female doctor. I wasn't going to leave without getting checked again. The manager came over after I explained I felt a big gap between my teeth. She told me everything "looked fine" and made me floss in front of her to prove it. I was made to feel dumb, like I didn't know what I was talking about. Then as I was leaving, she said: "Please don't leave a bad review. If you need anything, come back." I was shocked. Instead of fixing the problem, all they cared about was their reviews. I ended up going to West Coast Dental in Rancho Cucamonga, where they treated me kindly and professionally. They took an x-ray and confirmed what I felt that same day at Desert Dentist--a large space was left between the teeth they worked on. Since it's already been filled once, I can't get another filling. Now my only options are a crown or an inlay. Here's the problem: Medi-Cal only covers crowns, but I'd rather get an inlay, which is less invasive and more appropriate in this case. But I'd have to pay out of pocket. So now I'm filing a claim with Medi-Cal, hoping I can get coverage for the inlay--all because Desert Dentist did poor work and ignored my concerns. To make matters worse, the crown they previously placed is now causing pain and turning purple, which is another issue I'm now dealing with. This entire situation has been a nightmare. I left in pain, dismissed, and gaslighted--not to mention laughed at while pregnant and clearly distressed. I would not recommend this office to anyone . I truly hope no one else has to go through what I did here.

They totally destroyed a new pair of dentures. I was having them refined. When I went back after…read morethe reline, having sore spots, they gave my dentures to a girl who was one of the secretaries to grind out the sore spots. When she gave them back to me the sore spots were WORSE. I asked her if she polished them after she ground on them? I was told that they didn't have a buffer. I replied that without a buffer it was like having SANDPAPER in my mouth. No body seemed to care! When I told them that they owed me a new pair dentures they told me too bad and didn't want me as a patient anymore . I don't know who I can report this behavior to, but they really need to be INVESTIGATED!! It cost me 1,200 to have a new pair dentures made. Apple Valley smiles is a RIPOFF!! DON'T GO THERE!!!

The woman helping me said "if you can't lower your BP, we're gonna send you home" which was wildly unhelpful. I'm not proud that it makes me anxious, a small amount of compassion would have gone a long way. Lastly, I needed a referral submitted and they didn't submit it until the Friday before I was supposed to come in which meant I had to reschedule. This place 100% sucks, everyone except the surgeon and office manager were rude and unhelpful.
