I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Michael Diep and his staff. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and professional from the moment I arrived. I came in for a second opinion regarding an issue around an existing dental implant. Dr. Diep took the time to review my X-rays with me, point out the areas of concern, and explain everything in simple terms that were easy to understand. He also explained why he believed a new custom crown with better coverage could help protect and preserve my existing implant. What I appreciated most was how comfortable and confident I felt after speaking with him. I never felt rushed or pressured, and his recommendation made sense because he clearly showed me what he was seeing and why he was recommending that approach. After leaving another dental office feeling confused and uncertain, I left Dr. Diep's office feeling informed, reassured, and very comfortable with the treatment plan. I'm grateful for his clear communication, thoughtful approach, and wonderful staff. I would highly recommend him. read more

Irvine Dental Studio and the entire staff provide A-1 service. Their quality of care along with responsive and caring staff make it a great experience. I was referred to Dr. Diep by my neighbor. After a disappointing experience with my last dentist I wasn't sure what to do. Finding Dr. Diep has given me a new confidence in maintaining my teeth, gums, and oral health David K Huntington Beach read more

My wife and I have been going here for several years. Unlike most medical offices, the front desk staff is great - always happy, cheerful and well, happy to be there - thanks Tiffany! Our semi-annual cleanings are a breeze - in and out in an hour - Thanks Staci! Dr. Diep is great. Explains everything upfront, does GREAT cosmetic work and we are always happy to be patients of his. Let's face it, the dentist office sucks, but this one does not. Highly recommended for everything they do. read more

Been coming to Dr. Diep for the last few years now and this review is long overdue. Wonderful staff, great hygienists, nice and clean modern environment. Dr. Diep and Anne are patient, honest and caring people. Extremely happy that I was able to find them based on a friend referral and I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend them to anyone looking for dental work. read more

Dr Mike has been my dentist since he opened his practice. He has a gentle hand for "fraidy cats" like me. His staff is so friendly and his work is excellent. I travel through 3 counties to see him. He is a great family dentist! read more

Michael Diep DDS - Irvine Dental Studio - General Dentistry Near Me - Irvine, California

Dr. Diep had been my dentist for several years now. From Walnut, I followed him to his new location in Irvine despite the long drive and traffic. Some of his staff are actually from his previous location which proves how professional and trustworthy he is that they're willing to follow him. Now, I moved to another state and I still go to him for any dental needs I have every time I go back to CA. I've been to several dentists when I was younger and I like Dr. Diep because he has very "light" hands. Other dentists can be rough especially I usually struggle keeping my mouth open during dental treatments. It's hard to find a doctor/dentist that's kind, professional and excellent in what he does. If I find the right doctor, I usually stay with that provider for a long time. Dr. Diep listens to my concerns and issues I have during my dental appts. His staff are also very nice, welcoming and professional. After the exam, potential treatments are explained then his staff will discuss the breakdown of payments. Nothing is forced and I can usually decide which treatment I want for that day. read more

Choosing a dentist can be a very personal choice. Luckily, my friend recommended Dr. Diep to me. Knowing that I haven't been to the dentist since before the pandemic (about 3 years ago), I was self conscious about my teeth and the attention it might have needed. When I contacted Dr. Diep's office, his staff was able to accommodate my work schedule and slot me in. During my first visit, Staci was very nice and welcoming. She did such a great job with the cleaning that I never knew my teeth could be this clean! Dr. Diep came in for a final check up and said I needed to come back for some filling work as they've somewhat fallen apart during all this time. My second visit was for those exact fillings and let me say "Wow, that was fast and painless!" In fact, when Dr. Diep inserted the numbing injection, I could hardly feel it. I had to do a double take and ask him if it was done. The whole process itself was relatively quick and I was out of there in roughly 1.5 hours. Needless to say, if you're looking good, quality dentist, Dr. Diep and his staff are the way to go! read more

My family and I have been coming here for a long time and they've taken care of all our dental needs. Dr Diep did my Invisilign and I had straight teeth within 4 months. He's also done implants for me and I haven't had any issue's with them. He's an expert at what he does and and knows his stuff. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my teeth. The Dental Hygienist are very friendly and precise with the cleaning. They care about the patients and try everything to make sure we're comfortable during cleaning. I recommend them and will be referring everyone I know to come here. A+++ read more

I place dentists into three categories. An honest dentist will quote you and charge you $300 for a $300 procedure. An expensive dentist will quote you and charge you $500 for a $300 procedure but will do it in a luxurious office usually in a high rent location. A deceptive dentist will quote you $300 for a $300 procedure and will add charges during the procedure saying that they were unforeseen, or necessary but not covered by insurance. You end up paying $500. I place Michael Diep DDS in this last category. He quoted me $1,269.50 for one implant. As he worked on the implant, he added a panoramic x-ray and a surgical stent that were not mentioned in the original quote. After I thought, I had finished paying, I received a demand for payment of $239.50 because my insurance had rejected a part of the claim that Dr Diep had submitted to them. My original quote was $1,269.50. My total Payment = $ 1,951.00. I am looking for another dentist! read more

I can't believe this doctor has five star reviews in here. Had some sensitivity on a molar and he wanted to do a crown right away. Almost lost a good tooth if I wouldn't got a second opinion with my regular doctor. Went there cause my doctor got expensive with the cleanings. It's a shame because I really loved their hygienist, she does such a great job and price was fair for the service. But when I went for second time to check my molar, something told me in my gut to get a second opinion. So I went back to my regular doctor and he fixed a little piece of the filling, took some X-rays and everything was fine. It was just natural sensitivity that can be managed with Sensodine. I guess, because this is a small practice, they really need money at any expense. And also gave me the impression that they want to sell you anything. Beware! read more

I have had dental issues all my life and was very fearful of going to see Dr. Diep given it had been so very long since I last saw a dentist. I was put at ease from the very moment I stepped into the door. His staff is welcoming and not judgemental. Dr. Diep immediately put my fears at bay. Throughout my numerous visits, I never felt pain with the various procedures he performed. When I had to change an appointment time, Annie went above and beyond to squeeze me in at a time that fit my changed schedule. It also was refreshing to never have to deal with wandering through a maze of robots when calling. I could not be more pleased with Dr. Diep and his entire staff. read more

Great dentist, Dr. Diep! Very attentive and master at his dental work. Front desk Annie was kind and very helpful in answering my questions and getting my appointments. The rest of the staffs are so welcoming and caring based on their body language and tone of voice and going that extra mile. The location is peaceful with places for my kids to play and seats to relax with drinks. read more

See all

I just wanted to let you know about my recent visit to Irvine Dental Studio. They are by far the finest dental group I have ever gone to in my life. I spoke to them on the phone before making an appointment to see if they could help people who have fear of dental work and x-rays. The front desk staff are attentive, professional, and very friendly. (I contacted another local dentist, and the staff person promised to call me back with an answer to my questions. They never called back.) I have avoided the dentist many times over the years due to this problem. I chose them because they had five star reviews from pretty much every person who has ever left a review for them. I only believe reviews that are left on Yelp, as reviews on the vendors websites are always biased in favor of the company that is listing them. Yelp reviews seem to be very unbiased, so I trust them a lot. I am telling you that this business is so honest and professional it is refreshing! I have had some work done already, with more to go. They explain everything about the work to be done and the procedures for treatment. They are one of the few dental places I have ever visited that does not try to upsell you on services. Matter of fact, Dr. Diep told me I might need a crown on one tooth, but he would rather take a less expensive and less invasive approach by just expanding the filling. How many dentists do that? I'm afraid to say too many good things about them, as I think they will be overrun with new clients, and I may not be able to get in so easily! I saw them on February 12 for an exam, cleaning, and x-rays. They have a nice special for $125. I got quotes on prices for other work, and they were less than the competing dentists in the area. I don't have dental insurance, so I very much appreciate their pricing. I went in today for a filling and deep cleaning on one quadrant. Doctor Diep was very professional and did the filling in no time at all, with no pain. The hygienist Staci is a true gem! She helped me get through the fear of x-rays, and did a great job cleaning my teeth yesterday and today. You will not go wrong using their wonderful services! read more

I can't express how grateful I am towards the entire dental team at Irvine Dental Studio. Been going to Dr. Diep for over 8 years now and I honestly couldn't be happier with all that he has done for me and my family. Even though the drive is a bit far for me...I wouldn't trust any other dentist. If you're looking for a honest, professional, and highly skilled dentist Dr. Diep is truly beyond amazing! read more

Dr Diep is very professional, caring and knowledgeable. I love the service from the front office to the back office, workers are friendly and attentive. Thank you for your excellent service. read more

When I moved back to California in 2011, one of the first items on my to-do list was seeing a dentist. I've always had a bit of anxiety when it came to going to the dentist. My family recommended Dr. Michael Diep. I made the call and made the appointment. It was a good decision. I now go to the dentist with peace of mind and zero anxiety. Dr. Michael Diep is calm, knowledgeable and takes the time to answer any questions you have. His staff are friendly and attentive. I have had no issues and it continues to be a good experience. read more

I haven't been to the dentist since covid broke out and I decided to try Dr Micheal Diep based upon a friends recommendation. I am so glad I did! I am naturally adverse to dental visits and am so terrified of shots. When the doctor told me I was going to need fillings I was so nervous! I got two fillings and it DIDNT HURT at all!!!!!!! The staff and service of this dental office is truly amazing. From beginning to end you receive a seamless experience that makes going to the dentist enjoyable and hassle free. If you're looking for a great dental office with staff that truly care look no further! I can't wait for my next visit where I am getting consulted for Invisalign! 10 out of 10 recommend!! read more

Dr Diep and his staff are so friendly, thorough and do fantastic work. They are extremely patient as well considering the deep cleaning they had to do after being quarantined for almost a year and a half. Not only do get our regular cleanings and checkups there but have also gotten our Invisalign there as well for the family. I always recommend his office if anyone asks for reference. read more

In as much as you can love a dentist, I love mine. I used to drive all the way to Walnut for my dental work because of the quality of care and the service Dr. Michael and his staff provide. I was a little disappointed when I heard that he had semi-retired. But when I heard that he opened a new office here in Irvine, I jumped to make an appointment. If you're looking for a great dentist, Dr. Michael is your guy. read more

Nice environment and high tech equipment office. They do a really great job for teeth cleaning. As a medical staff member, I highly recommend Dr. Diep. read more

I want to start by saying how much I dislike going to the dentist. If I have to go to the dentist I would advise to go to Irvine Dental Studio! First of all, Linda is the lady who cleaned my teeth did such a fantastic job. The best teeth cleaning I ever had. Also, I had to get additional work that involved a new cap. I'm always nervous and scared of pain when it comes to dentist. This procedure was painless, fast, and smooth. Dr. Mike and the staff was great making me feel comfortable and explaining clearly of what was going on and why. I'm going to refer family, and friends to change their dentist to Irvine Dental Studio. read more

Clean office. Good location. Appointment is timely. Dr.Diep and staff are very friendly. See you guys in July!!!! read more

Love Dr. Diep and his entire staff!! Thank you for always giving me the best dental care!! Highly recommended

Dr. Michael Diep and his team are awesome!! Welcome to Irvine! I have never seen a DDS office with so much state-of-the-art technology. During a routine cleaning, the hygienist, Stacey, was a little concerned about a tooth. She had the autonomy to take a picture, literally a picture with a small narrow camera to look at my last bottom tooth. Sure enough, there was a crack in 2 places. They got me in really soon to do a crown. The crown was made right there with 3-D printer technology. No temporary, no coming back. They took pictures and measurements and told me that I could hang out in the room (I got work done on the computer), while the crown was being made. It was amazing. Within 830-40 minutes, the crown was designed and I was done. Linda, the dental assistant was amazing as was Annie at the front desk. Great teamwork occurs in this office. Thanks! Leslie read more

So happy to have Dr. Diep and his staff in OC, great staff and now such a great location. If you are looking for an extremely high quality dental practice, this is it! I used to drive from HB to Walnut because they are worth the drive. read more

I am super scared of dentists. I have been going to Dr. Michael Diep since he was in his previous office in the city of Walnut. This is apparently his new office. All I have to say is...GO THERE! He is the best dentist I have ever had. My entire family goes to him. The kids love him and its convenient because we don't have to go to multiple dentists. Dr. Diep is so nice and genuine. He explains everything thoroughly and he and his staff always make you feel very comfortable. I came in yesterday to get my teeth cleaned and a crown done. I didn't feel the shot and he made the visit easy and pain free as possible. I do have to come back but I'm actually looking forward to it which says a lot since I'm a chicken. If you need a good dentist, definitely go to Dr. Diep. He's got the most gentle touch! Seriously the BEST DENTIST! read more

What an amazing experience. The office is very clean. The hygienist Stacy was gentle and knowledgeable. Very thorough, but no pain at all. Then Dr. Diep came in to go over my X-Rays and do a final check-up on my teeth. Came back to have Dr. Diep do some fillings. He is by far the best at fillings I've ever had! 5 stars!!! read more

I came in for a check up and white teethening service and I had an amazinggg experience here because of Michael and his staff. The staff was kind, personable, and very attentive. I felt very welcomed and comfortable. Everyone listened and assisted me with any concerns I had regarding my oral health. The hygienist was also very gentle compared to the previous dental studio I went to which I really appreciated. Overall, I had a great experience here and I am glad I stumbled upon this dental clinic! read more

Dr. Diep is truly amazing! Got my dental implant by Dr. Diep and it was painless, fast and most of all perfect! His front office staff handled all of the insurance work and was wonderful. Very clean and welcoming office. Highly recommend him to my friends and family! read more

Staff at Irvine Dental Studio are wonderful. Went in today to get my teeth cleaned and had my daughter with me. While she was next to me, Staci the hygienist kept my daughter engaged while cleaning my teeth showing her the tools she was using and asking her questions. Then Annie from the front desk took her and spent time drawing with her. Above and beyond. read more

Dr. Diep runs a great office that is clean and equipped with great technology. He has great manners, great communication skills, and did great work on examination, fillings and implant.

Annie in the front office is awesome, great communication skills and always make sure I am taken off. I am glad I found Dr. Diep in Irvine, CA. Highly recommended. read more

I've been with Dr. Michael & staff for 15+ years. New office but same great service! I came in for a cleaning. I usually do it every 6 months, but due to covid, it's been about 12 months. Stacy, the hygienist, was gentle and caring. One of my fillings had fallen off. Dr. Michael fixed it at the same time. No need to return for another appointment. Very convenient and no discomfort at all. Thank you for taking care of me and my family! read more

I normally don't write many reviews but I love my dentist so much. I chipped my front tooth and needed a dentist nearby to help fix it. Dr. Diep was the closest and he was better than I would have expected. He got a crown on my tooth fast and efficiently. My tooth looked brand new. Dr. Diep was also really nice and cooperative, I felt like I could fully trust him with whatever. read more
