10/10 wow lol. People who get it will get it, but i get anxious to go to the dentist. For all my anxiety ridden people, no need to fret! Seriously, they make it so easy and explain everything as they go. Definitely recommend booking the appointment. Plus everyone was so kind in the office- that definitely added to the positive experience. read more

I just want to let people know how great this dentist is. I'm a coward when it comes to dentists. Dr. Van is the best dentist that I've been to in my life of 72 years. He is so caring that he takes his time when giving injections. I can hardly feel them and that is because of his technique and patience. He does beautiful work with little or no pain. I am so grateful to have found him. If you need a great dentist that you will have a great experience with, do yourself a favor and go see Dr. Van. His staff are all very friendly as well! read more

Dr Van is one of the kindest doctor's you will ever meet. He is so calm, clear in his explanations, and extremely kind. His office is very clean and his staff is wonderful. My husband, my daughter, and I have all been in to this office for regular checkup care, wisdom teeth removal, deep cleans, etc. The girls at the front have been kind and Karen was literally the best ever with my 3 year old daughter. She made her feel so safe and cared for which made her first dental experience perfect and fun! read more

I've been coming here for about 5 years and each time I've had services done, it has been such a smooth process. From the front desk to Dr. Van, the whole team shows how important patient care and education are to them. Definitely a great place to get services done if you're looking for a new dentist. read more

Took my daughter here to have her tooth pulled. They were very gentle and took their time to make my daughter feel comfortable. Highly recommend. Great dentist and staff. read more

Excellent caring staff - they always are compassionate and genuine and will always do their best to help you.

I have been going to Dr. Van's dental practice now for over a year and he and his staff are spectacular and professional. They make you feel very comfortable and come up with the right plan that's best for you. My mouth & teeth are the best they've ever been now when it come to oral health and I have Dr. Van and his team to thank for that. read more

Awesome staff and caring dentist. I am afraid of dentist but Dr.Van and his staff made me feel comfortable and explained everything upfront.

I called to try and schedule a new patient appointment. I know the insurance but I didn't know which state. Although we live in CA, she said it's different. I said I have the number but she still couldn't help me. Apparently she couldn't be bothered to help me. So I will just take my business to Canyon Crest dental where they have always been helpful. read more

As always, Dr. Van's office was great. The oral surgeon he brought in to do my extraction and bone graft did a wonderful job. No pain the next day. Dr. Van works with great professionals who are exceptional in their fields of expertise. It's just an indication of his dedication to provide the best dental care for his patients. read more

I've had a number of dentists in the last decade or so and dr. Howard's place is hands down the bees knees. They epitomize great customer service and really a model for how an office should operate. The staff is amazing and always informative to the smallest detail. I already like getting my teeth cleaned but the quality of the service here just gets me that much more excited to go! read more

If there were more than 5 stars, Dr. Howard Van would have received it from me. I went in scared and anxious because I was scheduled for a root canal. The root canal in my mind equals pain. Dr. Howard Van with his soothing voice told me to relax as he was about to numb the area. I did not feel a thing while being numbed as I usually do with my previous dentists. Already, that was a 5 Star for him. He proceeded to do the root canal and again just the noise was heard but nothing was felt. I walked out of there and went home and by the end of the day when the numbness was gone, I still did not feel anything. NO pain after a root canal. Amazing! I said to myself that he can do a root canal on every tooth left in my mouth anytime. Dr. Howard Van is a genius with magic hands and a calm voice. He is great at his craft and so far has NEVER disappointed me. I am so blessed to have found him. Thank you, Dr. Howard Van and staff for your great services always! read more

Dr. Howard was great. I was very nervous about getting dental work done as I am use to my family doing my work. I felt no pain and he was very informative about each step. The ladies at the front are very kind and helpful. Definitely will be my home dentist from now on. read more

Been coming here for my dental needs since 2018. Everybody is very friendly and professional. Becca is my dental hygienist. Not only is she very knowledgeable, but also very thorough and "relaxing". I know I am in great hands with her and Dr. Van. I highly recommend this place. read more

Dr. Van has been my dentist and my wife's dentist for at least 15 years. Everything about him and his staff is outstanding. There is a calm and kindness in his office. You will be welcomed, taken care of with a focus on your comfort. He will tell you how it is. For me, I don't like to floss so I pay the price. The office uses technology to keep you informed. I love it. The are kind, affordable and everything you wish every other business were. They are taking Covid precautions seriously. I have an appointment tomorrow as does the wife. We know we will get in on time be taken care of and given the best dental care anyone could ask for. I'll stay with them as long as we are in the area. They are fantastic. read more

I was referred to Dr. Van years ago from a coworker who raved about him and his office - I'm always so glad I made the switch over to him! Dr. Van himself is really nice and gentle with your teeth and the girls in his office are such a pleasure to work with! Dr. Van does a really good job of explaining what you might need or answer any questions you might have. You're always greeted warmly by the girls in the front and I've always really enjoyed my experience with them. I'm moving soon and considering flying back for my check ups! read more

I've been a patient at Dr. Van's for a few years and every visit has always been excellent. The attention to care and experience is beyond one can ask for. I was never a big fan of the dentist until coming to Dr. Van. His team always makes sure I have a good experience. He always ensures to explain everything that will be done and answers any questions I may have. I highly recommend him and his team. I have done so already friends in the area. read more

Dr Howard Van is the best dentist. My whole family love and trust him, and all of us come to Dr Van whenever we need dental work. His profession is beyond the 5 stars rating. Come and see for yourself. You will never want to go to any other dentist place but only Smile Maker office. read more

I have never felt so relax and calm at a dentist office. I had a traumatic experience at Western Dental and still having PTSD from that experience. I was really scared to have work done on my teeth after that. Dr Van calmness, soft reassuring voice made me felt safe. Apart from the annoying drill, i didnt feel any pain. Best experience ever!. Will recommend this establishment to everyone! Thanks again. read more

The Dr is thorough and direct. Front office is pleasan. Costs are lower than most.

My first appointment at this office was last Tuesday. Staff was very professional and friendly. They have very high-tech equipment compared to what I'm used too. We have a long term plan for my dental health. Looking forward to continuing with this office. read more

Best dentist I have ever had! Dr. Van is very patient and great at what he is doing. He always listens to my needs and takes great care of my teeth. After I started seeing him, I took my whole family to his clinic because I need someone I can trust to take care of my family. Highly recommend!!! read more

I was referred by a co-worker and on my initial appointment was VERY pleased that, starting with the reception desk and the initial exam (history), the staff was calming and concerned about my well-being...especially after I told them I have a very BAD gag-reflex (Only gagged once during the x-rays!!!! ) Dr. Van was caring and honest about what he thought the treatment plan should be, he also understood that I needed to work within the parameters of the dental insurance I have through my employer. Not to disparage the last practice I was going to, but, I was told (by the prior practice) that every LITTLE thing (including a small cavity) REQUIRED a 'Specialist'.....NOT! (I felt like that commercial, or comedian, that was talking about a 'Dental Monitor') That is absolutely NOT the case with Dr. Van! If you live/work in West Riverside, CA (near the Galleria @ Tyler....in the Best Buy/Burlington shopping center).....I HIGHLY recommend this dental office! read more

Very good experience. Had severe teeth pain. Got Immediate appointment. Friendly staff.
