Had a little emergency today, awesome front staff was very kind and understanding on what service I needed. Janelle was extremely friendly and guided me on the steps in order to be seen. Dr. Josh was very gentle and very understanding about my concerns. He was very smart and quickly/accurately knew exactly what was wrong. I will recommend this place to others and stand by my great experience. Happy Birthday Josh!!! read more

Marina Dental - General Dentistry Near Me - Oxnard, California

Paula, Mina, and Jocelyn are workers here and are very kind and helpful and comforting. I walked in to the dentist a little nervous, thank God I did not have any pain. I came back a week later rescheduled my appointment because I felt very comfortable here. The girls are very nice and kind and respectful. The customer service is great and I'm grateful to feel somewhat comfortable here even though it's burning my second time I feel a positive vibe very clean business and all the tools and things are new technology. read more

Bad service, the hygienist talks all the time does not perform any cleaning and they charge you for extra treatments that you don't need or required by your insurance so you would pay out of pocket, never going there again. read more

This place passes the vibe check! Let's be honest, most people dread going to the dentist. I always have some anxiety before I go to the dentist and I noticed every time I've been here, any sort of nerves I had quickly fade away because of how kind the staff is. Every single person here I've interacted with is so friendly and welcoming. I've been getting my teeth cleaned here for a couple years now and I always walk away thinking "wow did I really just have a good time at the dentist?" Yes. Yes, I really did. I recently inquired about invisalign and they gave me one of the better quotes I've gotten (I've been quoted wayyy more by 3 other dentists prior to Marina Dental). I will most def be doing more dental work with them. I got mad love for Marina Dental. If you got dentist anxiety/trauma, I highly recommend coming to Marina Dental. You will feel at ease here. read more

Exceptional care and treatment. The Dentist was highly communicative, explaining everything before starting in on my deep cleaning. Friendly front desk staff helped schedule my next appointments. Good way to start my week! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I have had nothing short of a nightmare experience at this dentist. I came in because I had a tooth that was bothering me, Dr. Gabriel did an evaluation and claimed to have found 3 cavities. I returned to the office for the 3 fillings and left in pain. The fillings continued to hurt even after two adjustments. I told the dentist I felt as though they would fall out if I flossed. She assured me that wouldn't happen. 2 months later and one of the fillings has fallen out DUE TO FLOSSING just as I had predicted. I have been in pain this entire time and refuse to return to that dental office due to the level of distrust that I have with the dentist there. I asked for a refund on the procedures because they have only caused me more harm. They didn't even address the initial tooth that was hurting. Not to mention I was quoted 3 different times for a wisdom teeth extraction. First $300, then $900 and then $1500 right when I arrived for the appointment and sat down in the chair. I left right after they told me that quote. I find it extremely unprofessional to misinform the patient on something as serious as the cost of services. The only solution I was offered was to go back and have another dentist repair my filling. I'm not going because god only knows if they will only further ruin my smile. DO NOT GO HERE. read more

Marina Dental - The filling that fell out in less than 3 months - General Dentistry Near Me - Oxnard, California

Today's visit was amazing! My previous post remains the same, as the professionalism and quality of care at Marina Dental is consistently stellar. Props to Dr. Gabriel and her team. Job well done! No one likes going to the dentist, but the staff at Marina Dental make the difference. I've been going to Marina Dental for two years now and have been highly satisfied with the quality dental care I've received. Dr. Gabriel and her wonderful assistant, Mena, (see photo:) are consummate professionals with excellent bedside manner. Dr. Gabriel's manual dexterity is second to none! She cleaned my teeth with ease and always provides psychoeducation on healthy hygiene maintenance. The office is conveniently located with adequate parking available. Appointments are easy to schedule and the reminder texts and e-mails are nice. Overall, great experience, and I'd highly recommend them without reservation! read more

See all

Dr. Sandy Gabriel and her staff are amazing. I came here for a root canal and have also had a teeth cleaning and she and her staff are wonderful... Very caring and helpful. The hygienist was the best I've ever been to. She was great with the suction. No problems. My teeth after the cleaning were the best they've been in decades. Put my last dentist to shame. read more

Exceptional customer service; had a great experience with the hygienist Andres. I had a deep cleaning (appts were super convenient) even made an appointment for my son and he got an exam and cleaning. Highly recommend! read more

Felt nickeled and dimed from the first appt to the last. Shared my concerns with the billing person (I prefer not to mention names) when I last made arrangements for cleaning appts. Told her I think I'd just rather shop around due to the cost involved in simple cleanings that should have been 100% covered by insurance and she said fine and had no desire to make things right or to try and keep my husband and I as patients. I would not want someone like that running my office that's for sure. Won't be going Back. read more

Its hard to get a legitimate dental office that will take care of you and this office is a great one! I have never had any issues here and I recommend everyone I know to go here. I am always taken care of at my appointments. I also wanted to give a shout out to there awesome assistant Mercedes. She is the best employee I could ever imagine and she deserves so much credit! read more

I recently had several bad experiences at Marina Dental after many years as a client. Seems that since Dr. Hansen retired, this place has gone way downhill. I will never return here again and I am driving right past it on my way to my new dentist. A crown that they replaced 3-4 years ago, has become completely detached 3 times, beginning about 16 months after install. They glue it back and tell me everything will be OK....then it falls out again. After last episode, tooth became infected and very painful. Dr. Johnston(sp) recommended and performed a root canal in July 2020. The tooth never stopped hurting and recently became infected again. The root canal needed to be redone only 8 months later. My insurance company was pretty unwilling to pay for it again. And so was I. I filed a grievance with Delta Dental and some financial relief is apparently eminent. Nothing will compensate the pain and misery of these experiences. The thing that hurts the most is that for years I had great confidence in my dentist, Dr. Hansen, and now that has been replaced by financial burden and loss of security regarding dental work. Maybe new dentist will be helpful. read more

I had my first deep cleaning today, and I was not sure what to expect because I was told it would hurt. But after speaking to the Receptionist Rosemary, she assured me that it wouldn't. But that I might be a little sore afterwards. Rosemary was also very helpful with some questions I had regarding my insurance coverage. Explaining to me why some procedures were covered and why some were not. I was always very skeptical about dental offices. But I'm glad I found Marina Dental. The staff there are both friendly and very helpful read more

I leave for Norway in less than a week and have suffered with a broken molar for a few months, thinking at some point i would have the time to take care of it . Fast forward and I gave a call to Marina Dental and they saw me asap, thinking I would need to tooth pulled, however, I was told the tooth could be saved! I was so happy, they actually got me into have a root canal and crown the very next day( today in fact) . I had a very bad experience 10 years ago with a root canal and I cannot believe that I am saying this BUT, I felt NO PAIN, it was one of the most enjoyable dentist visits I have ever had, although I did have some slight panic at one point, it was due to my own fear , and Dr. Johnson was very understanding an explained everything he was doing. Dr. Johnson , his wife, and their whole staff are amazing, thoughtful, caring and friendly. They not only took an interest in my dental work but my life as well and I appreciate that just as much. I have no insurance at the moment ( yay independent contractor status) ) but they were able to help me sign up for a discount program and save me some money and i am forever grateful. I cannot wait to come back and be able to continue seeing this wonderful practice. read more

Dr Sandy Gabriel and her staff are amazing. She is the best dentist I've ever gone to and I highly recommend her.

My temporary crown fell off. It was the day before New Year's on Friday. Marina dental staff and dental assistant Mercedes reassured me that they would be able to re make a temporary crown on my front tooth. The doctor and Mercedes were able to perform this service without me experiencing any pain. I am very happy with my smile. read more

Worst most dishonest dentist They bill for services never provided and then try to rebill after refunding money Very shady and dishonest read more

I moved to town looking for a new dentist in my insurance network. I found them and they were super accommodating like appointment next day sure why not, nothing odd there I must be lucky. I asked to specifically see one doctor and they said sure and scheduled the appointment. Come day of I get there and I thought it was super weird that they have candies on the front desk, like hello isn't this is supposed to be a dentist office where you tell people not to have sugar and dole out toothbrushes? they sent another dentist who was a female not the one I asked to see and i remember specifically requesting the male doctor. Anyway, whatever I'm there I already finished a ton of paperwork so ok told them i just went to my regular dentist a month ago, I had a cleaning and need a filling. I didn't have time to get it done with my regular dentist before I moved. They suggested that i have all these decaying gum issues and literally scared me into thinking they are saving my gums. I had no pain with my gums or any visual issues, I was only there for a filling. Felt a little scammy but ok. When i said I just had a cleaning, they said "oh we can't speak to the work of another dentist" and i thought ok maybe my regular dentist was too busy and booked up to notice this gum decay issue they mention and maybe I should do the deep cleaning in addition to the filling, probably won't hurt in the long run. When they brought my portion of the bill after the insurance i was shocked they are expensive, they might think they are in Marina De Rey and not Marina de Oxnard! Ok so i have all the work done, office staff was nice accept for the one girl who does the billing, she's the one who said she can't speak to the work and later dodged me every time i came into the office. I had to go back many times because then they switched doctors on me had some recent college grad do my filling and the original doctor did the rest of the "deep cleaning" and some solution on 4 sides of my mouth. Charging my insurance a ton and me nearly $800 out of pocket and all I really needed was a filling on one tooth. Then that filling was not done right and that side of my mouth was in pain for 2 weeks before i called and said look this filling should not hurt this much after 2 weeks. I've had a few fillings in my life and usually the pain is gone by the next day. They said this was a really deep filling. Then when i went back to have it fixed the same doctor i originally saw had the nerve to try to say it's actually the tooth behind that tooth i had filling that might be the problem thereby making it a new charge instead of fixing the shitty work that was done. I musta had a look of pure rage in my eyes and i said no the pain is coming from the filling that was done incorrectly and now i can feel every temperature and bite even more than before having this stupid filling. So she acquiesced and fixed it in a very unpleasant way. It was awful. The metal thing i had to have hold my mouth open while she drilled my filling wasn't pleasant to say the least. I could not wait to get the hell out of there. I scheduled another appointment because i really didn't have the capacity to process all my anger and they think going to the dentist every 3 months was required for me? ps I've actually religiously gone to my last dentist every 6 months for the last 15 years of my adult hood and all of a sudden they tell me i need cleaning every 3 months. It's shameful. Anyway, a few months go by and during that time I lose my dental insurance. So they call me a week before my next scheduled appointment saying my insurance was cancelled and i told them "yep and that I'll be cancelling my appointment". Then a few days later I get a bill in the mail for some previous balance which is nonsense. SCAM ALERT! Do not go here! read more

Called to confirm availability for teeth whitening syringes which are available at most offices to take if you have a tray since they are FDA approved for offsite use. So they confirm availability I come in and now they state that thanks to the manager they can't release them cause there is a prescription for said item. Okay what's the code for the pharmaceutical drug. I can't. At least the receptionist was nice. read more

Dr. Hansen is hands down the best dentist that has taken care of me. Years of being scared of the dentist, it's safe to say I will be staying with her for years to come. Mercedes, her assistant, is also warm and welcoming! The girls at this office show right from the door how much they genuinely care for you! Quick and courteous service at the front desk AND careful and caring service while in the chair? I'm sold. They are very educated and also took the time to show me the different procedures I would need to go through to complete my care plan. I love how they took me step by step before my dental cleaning and fillings. They always have time to answer your questions and concerns. Exactly what I look for in dental care! I highly recommend if you are in the area and need a new dentist. read more

I haven't been to the dentist in a few years and was referred to Marina Dental through a friend:))) Today was my 3rd visit and I couldn't be happier:)) The office is professional, clean, the employees are happy and work well together. From the first visit I really felt like I made friends:) They really know how to make you feel welcome read more

My doctor and staff are always at their best giving it 110%. I recently started going to Marina Dental and seems I've been going there for 10 years. The staff is easy going, professional and always feel the positive vibe. Keep it up (2 thumbs up) read more

Dr Johnson and Mercedes are a great combo team. Thanks for the fun conversations and the professionalism you both display. Id rather be in that dental chair then at work. And I like what I do. read more

I went to Marina Dental based on new dental insurance. I'd been having some pretty intense pain in a tooth that had historically already had work done on it, so I was expecting the worst when it came to this visit. I met with Dr Sandy Gabriel on a Tuesday, she did some tests on the tooth and made a plan for a root canal 2 days later. Today was that day. I made sure that she was aware that I have trouble getting completely numb with dental work and she took her time and did it slow and steady. No hurrying, no frustration on her part. She and the dental assistant, Ali, were more than patient with me thru the entire procedure. The both of them constantly made sure I was in zero pain and that the level of gas I was getting was sufficient. I really appreciated their small talk during the procedure. Their positive attitudes and "we can do this" work ethic really made this as enjoyable as possible. I give Dr Gabriel and Ali both an A+. Thank you for getting this dental-phobic big wuss thru it. Thanks again for your kindness. read more

I had my first appointment with Dr. Johnson today and I really liked him and his staff. If first impressions reign true then I should believe that my future treatments will be just fine! read more

I would give my eye tooth to be treated by this office! The dentist and her staff are above and beyond any other dentists I have treated with in the past. read more

Dr. Johnson, Dr. Moa, Mercedes, and the others in this office are very friendly, and they are outstanding in timely handling the needs of patients. They are not in a rush, they take the time to explain their diagnoses by not only discussion, but by showing the details on the x-rays, etc. - proof that many other dentists don't provide. Dr. Johnson saved a few of my teeth by redoing root canals and crowns (painlessly) that failed either by new cavities or poor work done by previous dentists. If you want top notch, honest dental work done on your teeth, make an appointment at Marina Dental. read more

My 7 year old saw Dr Moa for a cavity. This was our first visit and I was very happy. They were so patient and kind, and even let me stand there hovering so my daughter felt comfortable. I was really nervous about this appointment and it couldn't have gone any better. Thankful to have found this office. read more

I came here after visiting another dentist that left me feeling like I was buying a used car. Dr. Gabriel was very good at explaining all my options and the staff was very professional and nobody tried to upsell anything. Bonus points, the procedures I need are half the cost of what I was quoted at the other dentist. I am very, very glad I didn't stay with the other dentist. read more

Most of us hate going to the dentist. But the folks at Marina Dental make it easy. Go have a check/up here. You won't regret it.

I called Marina Dental to schedule a consultation, which I was extremely grateful they were able to get me in on such a short notice.I had come in because I had a wisdom tooth issue that was causing a great amount of pain. The appointment itself was OK. The front desk was very sweet and so was the assistant-Thank you. However, the Doctor explained to me that I needed to get ALL my wisdom teeth taken out ASAP, which I explained to her I only wanted the two that were bothering me to be taken out... I thought to myself Hmm, if the other two are not being a bother then I would much rather have that done at a later time and save myself a few hundred dollars. At the end of the appointment I met with Liz who handles all the billing. I was given an estimate and was more than surprised to see how much this all was going to cost. I felt as she was pressuring me to get them all removed at once and not to mention I felt as she was not looking in the best interest of the patient but for the company. I explained I was full time college student and asked if there were any type of payment plans that they offered given it being extremely costly expense... I was quickly given a snappy and snarky remark by Liz as she said "Don't you have insurance?" I said yes. & Her reply was "Well umm there you go, there is your discount" I've never been more appalled by such a "professional establishment". Nonetheless, I am glad I did NOT peruse my business here as I went to another Dental Practice only to be welcomed with open arms and met with another Dental Surgeon who explained to me that my other two wisdom teeth were not at all ready to come out. Also, they are charging me 50% less than Marina Dental and have provided amazing bed side manner. read more

The staff is very warm and friendly. I am very pleased with the wonderful service and treatment. I would highly recommend them read more

Dr. Hansen is the only dentist I trust with my teeth. She explains every procedure thoroughly, and her cleanings are the best.

We have been going to Marina Dental since it opened. The whole office staff is fabulous and really efficient.

Assistants Mina and Mercedes are really wonderful and always make me feel special. The office staff is fabulous- sweet as can be and efficient. I would recommend this office for all ages. read more

Thanks Marina Dental, you guys are great. read more
