Doctor Park is nothing short of incredible. I have always had a lot of anxiety around dentistry and my fear caused me to neglect my teeth for decades. Now in my 30's that neglect was really beginning to catch up with me and I knew I had to bite the bullet and go in. The first dentist I went to told me I needed a root canal and 4 crowns. I left in tears, I couldn't believe how badly I'd messed up in my younger years. I read through the treatment plan and noticed that the root canal in question was for a cavity that had not reached the pulp, but was close. I started researching to see if a root canal could be avoided. I went to another dentist for a second opinion, who told me I needed a root canal and two crowns. I went to a third dentist that basically said the same. It looked like I wasn't getting out of this without having a root canal - nobody could save my tooth. Then I found Doctor Park. In late January she squeezed me in for a late afternoon appointment to evaluate me. She listened to my concerns and told me that it is definitely possible that a root canal would be needed - she wouldn't know until she got in there to see how bad the infection was, but that she would try to save the tooth if it was a possibility. Aside from that, I needed one other crown and the rest could be standard fillings. She gently told me that I have a lot of work to be done, and she provided me with a treatment plan. She was the first dentist who was willing to look at my situation inquisitively to see what could be done for me, and that day I decided this would be my new dentist. My first appointment for the potential root canal and crown I was so anxious. Literally shaking and twitching in the chair. Doctor Park was so gentle with me. She spoke soothingly and assured me throughout the entirety of the procedure. I left that day with two crowns. She saved my tooth from needing a root canal when nobody else could. She was also able to save me from needing 3 to 5 crowns like the other dentists had recommended. From then on I had an appointment every few weeks to work on other quadrants of my mouth. Each appointment I became less and less anxious, knowing I was in good hands. After a few appointments I began having a TMJ flare up simply due to keeping my mouth open so frequently for the work. I expressed this to her and for my final appointment she checked in with me often and had me close my mouth any time she didn't need it open wide. I still left with TMJ pain but that's just what happens with TMJ, and is no fault of the dentist whatsoever. I ended up getting a script from my primary care physician to relax the tense muscles and now a few days after my last procedure I am good as new and no longer need medications. At my last appointment Doctor Park smiled, high fived me, and exclaimed "we're done!" When I decided in January that I needed to bite the bullet and get my dental work handled after all these years, I never dreamed that by early April I'd be a new woman with a fresh smile. I would recommend Doctor Park to anyone. My husband, who has a similar past dental situation and dental anxiety to me, will be heading to her soon now that he's seen what a positive experience I've had. Doctor Park saved my tooth, and helped me through years of dental anxiety. Go see her, you won't regret it. read more

We found Dr. Park on Yelp. We were looking for a younger dentist who was expertly trained, who uses the latest dental techniques and technology. We could not be happier with her and her staff. We have been seeing Dr. Park for the past 6 months. She is so thorough in her examination that it made us question what our prior dentist for 25 years was doing. She found important dental issues that needed to be address...all of them never pointed out by our prior dentist. She photographed each of them so we could have an educated an honest discussion about the issue and the treatment required. She even looked up medical information so we could understand the importance of the care needed. We have implemented her treatment recommendations with the confidence that we are now getting the best dental care possible. How grateful we are! Dr. Park is so great to work with. We could not recommend her more highly for those seeking a new dentist. read more

Juhee Park, DDS - Dr. Park - General Dentistry Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

Dr. Juhee Park and Jay are amazing. To say that I am grateful for their services is an absolute understatement. My boyfriend came in with several cracked teeth and a fear of the dentist, but he left with a beautiful new mouth and nothing but admiration and appreciation for Dr. Park's work. After hearing his experience, I went to visit after my hiatus (also because of fear). Let me tell you, Dr. Park's pain management and way of speaking to patients is nerve calming. Even while I was sitting in my chair waiting for my cleaning, I could hear her with her other patients reassuring them through whatever procedure they were going through. She is always checking in and ensuring that she is not causing any pain during the cleaning even though she already has such a gentle touch. Also, big thanks to Jay who is friendly, always on top of my appointment reminders, and is a fantastic assistant to Dr. Park. Thank you Island Dentistry! read more

I was in so much in pain but was afraid to go see a dentist in the midst of covid. After reading their covid policies and steps to make the visit safe, it made me at ease. Thinking back I am just grateful the staff was willing to fit me into their tight schedule. The office was super cute and clean. Was good to see air purifiers on every corner. Dr. Park is gentle, very detail oriented, trustworthy and professional. Coming from healthcare background and have been treated by many dentists in the past - she was definitely top notch. She took time to go over the treatment plan and her expert opinion. I was not just a number that pays bill here. The staff and especially Dr. Park made me feel like I was being treated by a family! Dr. Park and staff really took ownership of me and took care of me in timely manner. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

I have been going to Dr. Park for many years now throughout high school and she is not only a skilled dentist but she is also incredibly caring and understanding of patients. Like many people, I was initially worried about going to the dentist because I have a very low pain tolerance; however, Dr. Park has made every appointment very comprehensive and painless. She will talk me through everything she is doing whether I'm getting my teeth whitened or filling a cavity. Dr. Park and everyone else in the office is always kind and helpful, answering any questions I may have. I highly recommend Island Dentistry for those looking for a dentist! read more

Dr. Park has all these five-star reviews for a reason--she is an excellent, thorough and caring dentist. I can't believe I found such a terrific dentist within walking distance. She is gentle and tells you exactly what she is doing and why. Plus, as a cosmetic dentist, she went the extra mile to make sure my teeth looked great. She took great pride in showing my before and after pictures. My teeth haven't looked this good in decades. Dale O read more

I haven't been to a dentist in about 8 years due to negative experiences, and never having a primary dentist. After finally working back up to returning, I came across Island dentistry, they were close to home and I had my first appointment with them. I cannot express how wonderful each staff members are; Jay, Stephane, rose, and Dr Park. I need a lot of work and have had 4 visits already, and fully trust the team here and feel confident with each visit. Every detail of work and process is explained throughout each procedure, I never feel in the dark or unsure of what's getting done. Dr. Park has a soft touch and always checks in on my comfort level. Dr Park set up a personalized plan for me based on what I need, what my I insurance covers, and what I can afford. It is my first time on my own dental plan so they went above and beyond to go over my insurance ad all my benefits within my first visit. I would highly recommend this location, you will feel welcomed and confident and love your visits! read more

Thanks to Dr. Park's fine work she corrected an incorrect diagnosis where I would have had a crown put on an infected tooth. Instead she performed a root canal surgery and prescribed two courses of antibiotics that treated the infection which had spread even into my jawbone. I am thankful for Dr. Park's expertise and professionalism and recommend her to anyone who has a minor or serious problem. read more

Dr Park and the staff at Island Dentistry go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and right at home. I needed a good amount of dental work done and was nervous about who to select. I did a lot of research and actually visited two other dentists before finding Dr Park. I'm so glad I did. They were patient with all of my questions and nervousness about needles and she was extremely gentle during all of the work. I felt zero pain during a root canal!! I highly recommend Island Dentistry for their kindness, professionalism, and warmth. I won't go anywhere else now. read more
