I was very hesitant on leaving this review because Dr. Bui had been my dentist for over a couple years , i went in for a couple fills while he was working on me the syringe with BLUE ETCHING GEL popped open and fell in my mouth and on the side of my lip/face. Him and his assistant both gasped but didn't say anything to me , he wiped away at my lip and continued to work i started to feel a burning/painful sensation on my lip but because he didn't say anything i didn't want to be that annoying patient and figured it was just the numbing wearing off and him tugging at my lip that was causing the weird sensation . When i left he said bye don't forget to make your next appointment again not mentioning to me that my lip was super swollen and looked like it was burned. I went home and googled what it was that fell on my face and it says that it gets on the skin it's to be WASHED OFF immediately , he did not use any water for my lip/face again he just wiped it off with his glove. I spent the several weeks having to deal with this painful burn, i could barely open my mouth to talk and eat because it would cause the scabs to bleed . I now have a permanent scar and i did message the office and sent a picture they told me to come in so he can look at it but i was just so upset and mad at the fact that he didn't say anything as i was leaving knowing he was letting me walk out looking crazy with out a "hey btw, this is what happened " or to not even rinse it off knowing it can cause severe burns . I have a dentist apt for the first time since this incident and i have the worse anxiety, that's why I'm writing the review because it's not fair that i now have severe anxiety over a simple dentist visit and a permanent scar . read more

James Q Bui, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me - Tustin, California

I starting going to him because of a work accident. The best dentist I've ever had. The most thorough dentist ever. He doesn't skip any precautions. My whole family goes to him. I've never had to wait in the waiting room longer than literally 1-2 minutes. Lilly and Barbara are his assistants and are the best as well. Always in a great mood and friendly as can be. Highly recommended dentist. He went out of his way for me for my dental needs from the accident. I can't say enough positive things about him. read more

I just wanted to say once again that I love Dr. Bui, he's helped me so much and fixed all of my teeth., and anytime that I have an emergency, they've always helped me so much and made sure that I wasn't in pain. Also Dr. Bui has great hospitality when it comes to taking to me before procedure's, and making me feel comfortable. He makes me laugh and smile and always has nice Positive things to say. I feel confident every time I go there, and feel that I am in good hands. Thank you Dr. Bui and Staff!! I really appreciate everything you've done!! I've been going to Dr. Bui for a couple years now, so I feel that I can state all these things confidently. read more

James Q Bui, DDS - Lilly, the Zoom Teeth Whitening Master!! - General Dentistry Near Me - Tustin, California

Dr. Bui is by far one of the best dentists I've been to. I have a great fear of dentists and getting dental work done, but Dr. Bui made me feel very comfortable and my concerns were heard. Because of my fear of dentist, I cannot have a procedure done without nitrous or I will freak out. I explained this to them and they were more than willing to allow me nitrous. I had a bad experience at another dentist under nitrous where I had a lot of anxiety and I explained that to Dr. Bui and he listened and continually checked on me throughout my fillings to ensure I was comfortable and doing ok. I highly recommend Dr. Bui! He is great and his staff are great as well! They sent me text messages to confirm my appointment time and were very helpful overall!! read more

Another example of Dr. Bui's ethics and professionalism. Had an appointment on a Saturday for what I thought was going to end up being a root canal for a bridged tooth. Showed up and no surprise X-Rays were in order. After reviewing them Dr. B came in and assessed my issue. Pain coming from a tooth that wasn't a tooth. It was a bridged gap. He explained the tooth I was pressing on was not a tooth. What? It hurts when I press on it... confused I ask why does it hurt then when I put pressure on it? He explains again. Sparing you all the long boring details, he prescribed me heavy antibiotics and filed down a "high" point in my bridge that was causing my gums to send a false feeling of a tooth issue. He told me he did not want do a root canal on a tooth when my problem was a gum issue. Skeptically I accepted his method of process of elimination and left with my Rx scrip in hand. Now three days later my tooth does not ache (gums I should say) because he was SPOT ON. He would have easily made 3 times as much doing a root canal from my insurance, but cares more about his patients and their loyalty and partnership in their care to make a quick buck. I'm so glad to have found Dr. B and would not recommend anyone else! Thanks Doc! read more

Where do I begin?!?! I love Dr. Bui!!!! I made an appointment after avoiding the dentist for over 5 years, knowing my teeth were in bad shape. I started my dentist visits VERY apprehensive and would almost cry just at the sound of the drill that I could hear in the waiting room. First off, Lilly, the receptionist, is the sweetest, kindest, most friendly person woman ever! She knows a lot about all of the dental procedures and would tell me all about them before anything even got started. While waiting for my appointments, she'll talk to me about all kinds of things to get my mind off whatever I was going to get done, and she treats me like family after all the visits I've made in the last couple of months. She's fantastic and I love her! Now to the actual dentistry: I had to get 3 or 4 fillings, root canal (which was not done by him), and am now in the process of getting a crown. For my first filling, Dr. Bui went REALLY slowly and calmed my nerves through every step. He talks you through everything, so you're very aware of everything going on, he numbs you thoroughly, but works quick enough so your mouth isn't in pain from being open for hours on end. He never makes you do anything you don't want to do, and will stop as soon as you make the slightest sound of you being in pain. His dental assistant, Barbara (Barbie?), is just as kind. She asks if you're okay if she thinks you're in pain or need a break, and was very kind to my parents, who I dragged there with me my first few times. (I'm a baby, ok?). All in all, I still don't ENJOY the dentist (who does?) but I love seeing Dr. Bui and his lovely staff. They are seriously the best dental staff I could ever ask for! read more

I feel guilty for waiting this long to "yelp" Dr. James Bui. First off, Lilly (and her contagious beautiful smile) is absolutely one of the most pleasant, professional women that I have ever interacted with, in my quest for dental excellence. Dr. Bui, on the other hand, is the pinnacle of dentistry. Polite. Educated. Patient. Extremely professional. Comical too. Dr. Bui's dental expertise, is above and beyond my former dentist care. The meat-market facility, in Bellflower, where borderline witch doctors, who practised there aboriginal "skills" on their un-suspecting clients, should be shut down. My daughter and I have visited Dr. Bui's office for 3 years now. Prior to that, neither of us had visited any dentist in the previous 4 years. After mishaps at dental offices in Long Beach and Bellflower, now we both can breathe a sigh of relief. I would recommend Dr. Bui to any of my friends! read more

Yay! Finally a yelp for Dr. Bui's Dental Office (aka Lakeside Cosmetic Dentistry). I currently live in Nebraska for graduate school (recently moved here from Southern California) but Dr. Bui was my go-to dentist for all my dental needs. I've gone to a few dentists before, and all of them sat me down, started the dental work without telling me what they were doing and why, and then sent me home with a bill. Dr. Bui on the other hand is very personable, nice, and will explain what he is doing before he starts work on you. I couldn't agree more with David's comment about Dr. Bui taking care of his patients and their wallets (his prices are very good). I wish more dentists were like him! I highly recommend this office! read more

Okay we all hate the dentist.. Until you find a funny and kind one; like Dr. Bui! The office is super clean and everyone seemed to be happy and there was laughter in the office (I was shocked)! And then Dr.Bui actually made my visit easy to understand and was super knowledgeable and was super gentle! He was also personable ...all around a fun visit (and I never say that). You need to come this honest guy, hands down the best dentist Ive had read more

I have been a patient of Dr Bui's for at least 12 years and I absolutely LOVE him!! He takes time to explain procedures and provides all care options. And, I can't say enough about the staff - Lily and Barbara. Both are exceptional. Over the years, Lily has been extremely helpful. She always treats patients with respect, kindness, and consideration. I have had a few dental emergencies over the years and I can always count on Lily to get me in to see Dr Bui quickly. She is fantastic! I highly recommend Tustin Family & Cosmetic Dentistry. read more

I never write bad reviews for anyone but this office is probably the biggest joke. You call them and they tell you that Dr. Bui is busy and his schedule is full till next month, ok please give me an appointment for next month and they'll give you a date and time. Few days before your appointment you call to make sure your appointment is still there and they tell you that your name is not even in the system.. how did you give me an appointment if you didn't even input my name in your system? And the funny thing is that you have to wait another month to get another appointment and God knows if that will be registered in the system or not. this happened to us twice in one year. Wow and I told the receptionist do I have to record my phone calls everytime I call you so I can have a proof that I got an appointment and she told me that is something you can do. Wow read more

I've been here for a teeth cleaning and the 1-hour Zoom teeth whitening. I couldn't be any more happier with the outcomes! Dr. Bui is a motivated dentist who he refuses to let you leave until you're 100% satisfied with your results. He often puts himself in his patients' shoes and tries to help them out in any way that he can. You can also reach him for any emergency-related cases and he'll be there for you instantly. I would highly recommend him as a dentist! read more

This is a must see dentist. I have a natural fear of dentists and have not gone to one in years so, made an appointment that my friend recommended highly to go see Dr. Bui. It was the best decision I made and Dr. Bui made me feel very comfortable. He explains everything in detail which I loved and appreciated his honesty most of all! He has a wonderful personality, attention to detail is suburb and really made my experience going to a dentist not so scary. And my crowns are perfect! The staff are very friendly and professional, especially the office manager Lily. Lily was amazing and super helpful. Anyone in need of a wonderful dentist, look no further He is the BEST!! read more

THE BEST DENTIST around! My daughter fell at school chipped a tooth & in so much pain; Dr. Bui was so nice & gentle. He was able to fix her tooth. It happened early morning and He saw her the same day. Always a a great visit read more

I've been going to Dr. Bui for over five years and I'm so excited that we now have a Yelp for him and his amazing staff!!!!!!!! Dr. Bui is always making sure that I'm comfortable and that I understand the treatment plan! Lili, his treatment coordinator, is always knowledgeable and kind! I've done all my dental work and also Zoom and if you haven't tried it, give it a try! Beautiful and white teeth makes you look younger and confident! I always get compliments on my teeth and I owe all to this office! XOXO! read more

Dr. Bui and his staff are the "very best". You will be greeted by Lilly with her beautiful smile. Sweet Barbara will take your ex-rays. And then Dr. Bui will work his magic. Dr. Bui is a friendly and highly skilled professional who takes the time to make sure your are comfortable. He is very thorough and detailed, clearly explaining any work that needs to be done. It is obvious Dr Bui loves what he does. He strives to make your experience a positive one. If I could give Dr Bui and his staff 10 stars, I would. Thank you for your excellent care. read more

I had my follow-up dentist appt with Dr. Bui, and as expected I was treated like a queen. Mind you, Ive had several other crowns put in before but not like Dr Bui's exemplary work. In previous years when I had crowns put in, even the permanent ones felt a lil awkward at first, I had to get use to it. However, Dr. Bui's crown didn't even feel like a crown, when he glued my porcelain crown in, it felt so natural it was beyond a perfect fit. It felt like my own natural molar. As soon as I was done with the appt I made another appt to get my other crown replaced as it is very old and damaged as well. I'm looking forward to another relaxing day at my dentist office, how often do you hear anyone say that about a dentist appt, not too often thats for sure! Thank you once again Dr. Bui for your excellent service!!! read more

Dr Bui is truly amazing. He is a great dentist: cleans very thoroughly, explains details as he goes along, and knows what he's doing. He gives the patient different options: novocaine injection, liquid application, etc. He has a great personality and remembers every patient and their family (or maybe Im just special). With his new office in Tustin, he's even better because the place is really nice. Even the new restroom is amazing. Furthermore, his staff is the friendliest I've ever seen. I truly wish all businesses ran like his. Going to him is still worth the drive for me despite the new location. read more

Today I took my girlfriend to this dentist office. The front desk lady is super sweet! She came back and told me he gave her more information about her teeth then she's ever received from any other dentist! Lily at the front desk is amazing super kind and Full of valuable information! I rated the dentist office five stars because they earned every star!!! read more

I had zoom whitening this week and I saw results immediately. I would also like to add that I had no sensitivity pain during or after the procedure due to the fluoride toothpaste that Dr. Bui requires you to brush with for a week prior to the procedure. I called around before choosing to go with Dr. Bui and no other dentist offered this. This is part of the reason I choose to go here. Lilly was great and extremely helpful. She made sure I was comfortable and satisfied. Wish I had done it sooner. So happy with the results and service that I recommended a friend who set an appointment for next week. Thank you Lilly and Dr. Bui! read more

Dr. Bui is amazing!! He welcomed my boyfriend with no insurance, he treated him with the most respect, took care of the problem within a half hour. The staff in the office are always very informative, caring and helpful. Dr. Bui will definitely be our new primary care dentist :) read more

Dr. Bui is an excellent and highly skilled dentist. He is very thorough and detailed. If any work needs to be done, he clearly explains all your options and his recommendation. Perhaps most importantly though, he has a lot of integrity and is always looking out for what's best for his patients. His staff is always friendly and helpful, and making appointments is always super convenient. I highly recommend Dr. Bui! read more

I came down from San Jose to do the cleaning of my teeth. I was greeted by a receptionist to give me all the information needed for cleaning. The process was very easy and the results were stunning. I had very yellow teeth and my teeth afterwards were shining white. Lily was the person who greeted me at the door and helped me out! Her service alone is worth going to Dr. Bui. Great Customer service and stunning results. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Dr Bui and his staff are amazing. Dr Bui takes time to explain everything, gives you pros/cons of your different options and his recommendation. I've been seeing Dr Bui for a few years now and he's done my regular cleaning, deep cleaning, filled cavities and a crown. Everything was well explained and I never ever felt like I was being "sold" or talked into getting something done. That's not how Dr Bui works. He's thorough, honest and cares about his patients. Lily at the front desk is the best, super nice, accommodating and always willing to help. Barbara, the dental assistant, is also very friendly and sweet. If you've been putting off see a dentist, then give Dr Bui a shot. You won't be disappointed. read more

I love Dr. Bui. He is a very thorough and explains things every step of the way. He recently made a bridge for me and it is working out real good. In the past I also had to have a crown the temporary crown fell out (after having had it on for about 3 weeks)on a Friday at 4:45 PM. I called his office, they were closed. So I called his personal cell # which he leaves on his answering machine in case you have any problems. He said he would meet me at his office in 30 minutes. He apologized because he was at Home Depot and couldn't come any sooner. :) Now, what dentist would do that? Only one who cares for his patients. He takes his time in making sure everything looks and feels as it should. If you are not happy then he is not happy. I have recommended Dr. Bui to several of my co-workers, friends and family. They all have thanked me for sending them to him. Give his office a call. You won't be sorry. read more

They really care about you! The most honest and professional team! I am so grateful for all the time and love they invested on my as a patient. My dentist for life! read more

Dr. Bui's was the best & always made me feel comfortable. I was scared my teeth would never look the same after my fall but they are beyond beautiful! Now that my procedure is over I am truly going to miss him and the girls! I will be back to whiten my teeth soon. I highly recommend him to anyone. read more

Dr. Bui is hands down the best dentist in all of Orange County! Don't even hesitate, there is no comparison! Like myself and all the other people who have received excellent service from the good doctor and have taken the time to give this man 5 stars, we do this because we mean it! Unlike some other dentists that you may have encountered Dr. Bui takes the time to explain in detail the procedure and is glad to answer every you can throw at him! Don't look any further, this is the dentist you are looking for! read more

The only dentist that I fell sleep in his chair while he was working on my tooth! Need I say more? I love Dr Bui, Lili and Barbara, and I never thought to see the day that I would love my dentist and his staff!. Professional, Jaw dropping (in a good way)work,. read more

This place is very clean and organized. The staff is insanely kind and helpful. 10/10 would recommend for dental services.

I've never written a review on any company, because I always sensed I was getting a raw deal, but for Dr. Bui (aka "Lakeside Cosmetic Dentistry) writing a review is an honor. I first met Dr. Bui and his fantastic staff, Lily and Christina, about 5 years ago, as a worker's comp patient, and was rewarded with excellent service. I never thought I would use them again but I did. You see, when I lost the same tooth, that which he replaced from my initial visit, because of an on the job accident, there was no doubt who I wanted use. I trust my dental needs only to Dr. Bui and his staff. Dr. Bui and his staff are the epitome of a well run Dental Office. From a personal greeting from the Office Manager, Lily, when you enter the office, to Christina, the X-Ray Technician, who calms you down and is very patient while taking your X-Rays. Dr. Bui has assembled a great staff that is friendly, personable and very knowledgeable. I almost forget they all have beautiful smiles!! And Finally to Dr. Bui, the best Dentist I've ever meant! Dr. Bui takes his time to know his patient, he did with me. He makes you feel comfortable and right at home, even if you are at a dentist office. Before he commences any dental treatment, he discusses the reason why the treatment needs to be done. After your discussion you come away having a complete understanding, and you know your dental needs will be fully met. After numerous visits, I've never been disappointed. That is why, I've made Dr. Bui my personal Dentist, I trust no one with my dental needs except to Dr. Bui, and his fine staff. read more

I came here for the first time due to a work Injury I was in pain, half of my front tooth was broken due to a plumbing tool sleping off my hand, however as soon as I arrived I noticed Dr Bui was busy with another patient but his receptionist took care of me and she made me feel very comfortable she took the necessary Xrays and sat me down in a comfortable chair as soon as she was done, Dr Bui didn't make me wait and took care of me right away, he said I needed a crown and without hesitation I agree to the treatment, it only took 2 appointments to get it done I'm very happy and satisfied you can't tell that I have a crown on my front tooth! I'm very happy and satisfied with this office, Barbara his assistant is very caring she asked me during the entire procedure if I felt ok, and Dr Bui was gentle and requested nitrous oxide to my workers comp insurance for my extreme anxiety, I recommend anyone for your dental needs especially if you are involved in a work Injury like I was. read more

With three growing girls, it has been a great challenge finding a dentist that will accommodate the whole family. Dr. Bui and his staff, Lily and Christina, have gone out of their way to help us. My husband was traumatized from childhood and one of our daughters was the same but when we came to Dr. Bui's office, all their fears were dissolved by Dr. Bui's caring attention. He knows what he is doing and he deserves a gold star for handling my daughter so carefully. I specially like how Dr. Bui always consults with me first on all the work the kids are getting done letting us make the decisions based on our daughter's tolerance level for that day. When we were going through braces, Dr. Bui's office was extremely helpful with recommendations and cleanings. To top it all off, Dr. Bui's services are easy on the wallet thanks to his friendly and caring staff. So I say to you, Have no fear, Dr. Bui and staff are here. read more
