    Mind blowing that this is what he achieved in an hour on a Saturday morning!
    Maria H.

    My mom has been a patient of Dr. Scalas for several years. The Friday after Christmas, one of her veneers came off completely. The Dr saved the day and came in on that Saturday to fix her up even though he was to be out of the office until the following week. He provides consistently good dentistry with state of the art equipment, keeping up with continuing education to be a leader in his field. He truly recognizes the importance of your dental health and how it plays into each patient's general well being. My mom is her in 60s and he keeps her smile looking bright and youthful!

    I have severe dental anxiety. I try not to go to the dentist and because of this, I usually require more work. I cannot recommend highly enough Dr Scalas and his office. They were gentle, professional and kind as they performed procedures and reviewed options. I was very impressed with the level of sanitization and cleanliness of the office, equipment and each member of their team.

The first week of recovery was honestly pretty rough, but I reached out to Dr. Le and he responded right away and prescribed stronger medication. It helped a lot and made a big difference.

Thank you to Valerie and Kevin for being caring assistants and taking good care of me. To the front desk team, I spoke to both team members and they were very patient and helpful! My recovery has been great, just like any other surgery you feel the pain once the anesthesia wears off but the fact that I'm not swollen and I feel good is amazing! Although it's the second day I'm still resting but I can gladly say I'm not in any pain or have severe swelling! I can't wait for my one week check up, hoping and praying that my recovery remains as smooth as it is so far! For years I've known that Dr. Le is the go to OS!! An employer of mine would recommend our patients to Dr. Le and now I can see why! Thank you once again Pacifica team! You guys are amazing!

Very easy to relate with. The dental assistants make you feel relaxed. They go over everything they do , with you to make you feel comfortable. Then there's Dr. Shawn, what a professional at his job. I'm a 62 year old man, and the biggest baby when it comes to dental work. It took me a few years to build up the nerves just to go see the dentist. After 6 implants, I kick myself for not coming sooner. It was so easy and painless. Dr. Shawn went over everything in detail, we made a plan , and he did the work. I can finally eat on my right side.

    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.

Everyone is consistently professional, kind, and welcoming, and the quality of care is excellent. Over the years, I've completed Invisalign and had my wisdom teeth removed through their office. When Dr. Devani discovered that one of my teeth had a dead nerve, he referred me to an excellent endodontist for a root canal. The procedure and recovery went smoothly, and Dr. Devani continued helping me afterward with the appearance of the tooth. Michelle has often been my dental hygienist, and she is wonderful. She is thorough with my X-rays, cleanings, and checking the health of my teeth and gums. She is also incredibly friendly and sweet, which always makes appointments more comfortable. Dr. Devani is knowledgeable, patient, and always takes the time to explain everything clearly. I also think it speaks volumes that so many members of his team have remained with the practice throughout the seven years I've been a patient. I even recommended him to my partner, who never enjoyed going to the dentist or felt motivated to attend regular checkups. Premier Smiles completely changed his perspective! I genuinely trust Dr. Devani and his team and will continue recommending Premier Smiles Dentistry to my friends and family.

I never thought I'd have this great of an experience at the dentist! He listened, he cared about my story, and was so understanding. Cathy the hygienist was so gentle! First time I enjoyed a cleaning They're upfront about cost, zero pressure, zero sales pitch, just transparent about what's needed versus what's not necessary. I'VE FOUND MY DENTIST FINALLY!

    This has been my office of choice, but now I have to say... that I took my business elsewhere…read more First, I had a simple cleaning appointment. I usually stick with the same Hygienist for this, as I am a creature of habit. Second, my actual Dentist always takes a look after my cleaning is done so that he can let me know if there is anything that popped up while I am there that might need attention. This is good. Now... my last two cleaning sessions literally broke my heart. The ladies at the desk have ALWAYS been very kind to me, but on these last two occasions, it was as if... I don't know... something PERSONAL was happening with me. First, she all but snapped at me when I walked up to the desk, and then DEMANDED that I "pay first"... like they used to do to Denny's patrons back in the day (which REALLY made me uncomfortable) so, according to her, "...we can all get OUT of there and go home!". Then, my usual Hygienist was not available, and I wish they had told me this beforehand, and some other... person... did the cleaning, to the point that I can honestly say that she was DEFINITELY UNHAPPY with me!! I didn't know that a simple cleaning can HURT so badly!!! At any rate, I don't know what it was that I did wrong, or who I made angry enough to deserve this treatment, but I can take a hint. No more PAIN, please. I am sorry for whatever it was that I did wrong. I have never been treated like this, not even in the U.S. ARMY. :-(

    I've been coming to this practice for about 25-30 years. I absolutely Love the care & treatment…read moreI've received there over the years, plus all the staff were really really great. Sadly with the passing of Dr. Kanemaki (Lord rest his soul) and the selling of part of his practice, practically everyone there now is new. My 1st visit there last year was because my tooth had cracked and I needed a crown. Thankfully I got 1 out of the 2 original doctors left there treated me, but all the assistance were new. When I went back for the actual crown to be put in the assistant had a hard time getting it to fit right, it took quite a while and quite a few times for her to get it in. After that visit I felt as if my crown didn't feel right but I thought it maybe because I was feeling a little soreness from the amount of tries when putting it in and it being new. Unfortunately my crown continued to not feel right and then a little aching started, and unpleasant pain when chewing. I know I needed to go get it checked out but life got busy and I just delt with it until I couldn't take it anymore. Which brings me to present day, just about 1year after the original placing of my crown. I called and they were able to see me in 2 days. When I got there, once again everyone was new to me, and upon checking in the receptionist said she didn't see that I had an appointment. I explained to her that I had called 2 days ago and was told I could be seen on this day. She proceeded to tell me that she didn't see anything down for me and that maybe I called their other office. I said no, I called the office I'm in right now. Before she could say anything another gal there in the front office (who was on a call but I'm sure she heard everything) she jumped in and said to me "It's okay Ma'am have a seat, we will see you shortly." As I was waiting I was able to observe a few of the office staff and dental assistants doing their jobs, but not one of them looked familiar. When I got called back, there were 2 assistants clearly going back and forth as to who was going to take me (pretty awkward). But thankfully the assistant Floř that I ended up with was very very nice and friendly. I had asked her which doctor I was going to be seen by and she told me Dr. Robin. I asked if the original doctor I had seen last year was available. She said no, he was no longer there that he retired. I was a little sad to hear this news. I asked for the only 1 original doctor left which is Dr. Trent Kanemaki but he wasn't working in that office that day. Unfortunately he only works in the Buena Park office 2 days a week. So I was seen by Dr.Robin, she was very nice and thoroughly explained everything that may have been going on with my crown and what needs to be done to fix the problem. I now need a root canal, she referred me to see a specialist for evaluation & CT scan before proceeding with the root canal which is normally procedure. All in all despite the fact that I need a root canal, I feel good and am satisfied with the service & experience I received from Dr.Robin and dental assistant Floř. I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for the situation upon checking in. Hopefully everything works out great for my future appointments with ALL the staff there in the Buena Park office.
