Exceptional Care and Expertise from Ashley, RDA…read more I recently completed my Invisalign treatment, and I couldn't be happier with the care and attention I received from Ashley, my Registered Dental Assistant. From the very beginning, Ashley demonstrated exceptional care and attention to detail, ensuring that every step of my treatment was meticulously planned and executed. One of the standout qualities of Ashley is her punctuality and understanding nature. My schedule can be quite unpredictable, but Ashley was always accommodating and flexible, making sure that my appointments fit seamlessly into my busy life. Ashley is incredibly knowledgeable about Invisalign and dental care in general. She provided clear explanations and answered all my questions with patience and expertise. Thanks to her guidance and support, what was initially planned as a two-year treatment was completed in under a year! Her skill and dedication made a significant difference in my treatment journey. 100% chat GPT helped with this review but she's an awesome RDA that's great to work with, as well as the the dental practice. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone seeking dental care, especially those considering Invisalign.

After two appointments with Dr. Listiyo, I can't say enough about how caring, empathetic, and professional he and his entire team have been throughout the process. What a difference it makes when your dentist and staff genuinely care about their patients. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed, valued, and confident that you're receiving excellent care. I would gladly recommend this dental practice to anyone looking for a better dental experience. They have certainly earned my trust and future business.

I followed the prompt it gave me when I called, and it went exactly how it said it would. They got me in the same week as a new patient, handled my cleaning, and fixed my permanent retainer all in one visit. I'm very particular about quality of service and my teeth in general, and it showed right away that the entire staff took the time to review my information and make the experience feel personal, not rushed or pressed for upsells. It was an incredibly warm experience. Customer service was excellent. The team was efficient, took care of everything I needed, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. Extra star for having chapstick on hand. My lips usually dry out fast during appointments, so that small detail was the icing on the cake. I walked out with clean teeth, my retainer fixed, and hydrated lips. Highly recommend this office if you want an independent dentist that really cares about their patients.

I arrived a little early and they were happy to start right away. I love how gentle the staff is with every aspect of the appointment. To prove this I am attaching a photo of my Oura ring asking me to confirm my "nap"! That is how gentle and relaxed I am EVERY time I need anything done here. This includes fillings! If you have any fears of the dentist, have sensitive teeth or just hate the usual dental office vibe. Come here! You will not regret it

I wish Yelp! would let me leave a 10 STAR Rating for Dr. Terra and his amazing care team at Smile…read morethe Spa. From the moment you walk into Smile the Spa, you are greeted by warm friendly folks and a serene atmosphere. They always remember my name and welcome me like I am an old friend. For my first visit, I had a dental cleaning, and I knew immediately that this was a great place. It was such a thorough cleaning and the technology Dr. Terra uses is first rate. I was terrified of the dentist, and I had A LOT of work to do. Many crowns, fillings, fixing some really crazy teeth, and oral surgery. All this before I can do the "fun stuff" (Invisalign and whitening). Whereas other dentists have made my road so long I have eventually given up, Dr. Terra gently and efficiently led me through a healing process. Within months, I now have new teeth! Yes!! And I was scared, but Dr. Terra referred me to an amazing surgeon; I was able to conquer my fear because I knew that if Dr. Terra trusted them, I could too. Thanks to all this work, I will soon start the fun stuff! And yes, my new teeth (Crowns) are GORGEOUS. Dr. Terra is an artist. He makes the crowns himself and they are incredible (and done so so quickly - no more waiting around with a temp crown for months!). I cannot tell you the difference Smile the Spa has made in my smile, my confidence, and my overall health. I am also on a fitness and health journey and Dr. Terra is always interested, remembers my goals and interests, and asks how I am doing. He supports a healthy lifestyle and is super wonderful to be around. Overall, I am so grateful to Dr. Terra and the team at Smile the Spa. Truly a life changing experience.

She was unexpectedly hospitalized for two weeks and the hospital lost her dentures . The prior dentist no longer had her molds and my mom was devastated I called Dr Laura's office and explained the ordeal and they immediately made room to see my mom. They jumped through hoops to find a temporary solution and immediately got to work on the new dentures. The compassion, care, kindness and accommodations they made to help my mom during this time truly means the world to us. I'm forever grateful and proud to recommend Dr Laura to everyone!

I have been a patient at Seal Beach DDS for close to 20 years and a patient of Dr. Ong for most of…read morethose years. Without question, he is simply the best there is. My previous experience with dentists were highlighted with long waits, lots of pain and little sympathy. This resulted in not seeing a dentist for several years until I had an issue due to my neglect. I've gone through just about everything when it comes to dental work. From cleanings to root canals, extractions, bridges, crowns and Invisalign. And, most recently some implants. Yes, they do it all. I couldn't give a higher recommendation or have more respect than I have for everyone in the office. Even when emergency dental work is needed and Dr. Ong isn't available, I have complete faith in Dr. Oaxaca and Dr. Jensen. Even with the plethora of work I've had done, all has been virtually painless. When I arrive for my appointment I'm treated pleasantly, professionally and most of all respectfully. Rarely do I have to wait beyond my scheduled appointment time before seeing Dr. Ong or Cindy (my wonderful Hygienist). One of the aspects I really like is I'm given great explanations to what is needed, both short and long term to protect my dental investment. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Needless to say I knew right away it was not good. There was no saving the tooth. I visited several dentist who specialize in teeth implants, and I was getting very discouraged that I would even find someone that I felt comfortable with. Truthfully, I was scared to have an implant. Especially since it sounds very invasive and foreign. To most of us it's a very new procedure. Well then I met with Dr Ong and Heidi. Right away I felt that I was in good hands. The office is modern, clean and fully equipped with the most modern equipment. Dr Ong and Heidi went over everything with me on what I can expect and the finances. I went home that day very confident that I was going to have my first implant and not a window when I smiled. The day of my appointment started with the usual shots, and let me just say that was the most pain, which wasn't even bad. When Dr Ong said he was finished I was surprised cause I didn't even know he had already put in the implant. Go see Dr Ong you will not regret it.
