Im pretty picky when it comes to technical and medical services. Part of it comes from my own tech and mechanical skills, and the rest from my background in medicine. The office staff, hygienist and dental assistants are super friendly and helpful. Dr. Tran not only a skilled dentist , he is truly a surgeon of the DENTAL ARTS. I say that because we can all go anywhere to get dental work, but not everyone is a master craftsman with the artistry and technical hand skills to make the outcome of your tooth, bite, comfort, structurally perfect. He is really good at explaining things throughout the course of the visit and procedure, and that gives me confidence of the hows and whys of the work he's doing. I've been through 3 different local dentists since my brother (a former dentist) retired. Now I've found my forever dentist in Dr. Tran. read more

Mint Dental has been great. I admit I don't come as regularly as I should be, but every time I do go, they are beyond friendly and professional. They also do everything they can to get you in and out as quickly as possible. I have never found myself waiting around either in the waiting room or in one of the exam rooms. Recently I came in because I had unexpectedly cracked a tooth. They were able to fit me in last minute and get me fitted for a temporary crown right away. The process took some time, but that's understandable. Dr. Tran did a great job of making sure I was calm and pain free during the whole process. I really appreciate it. They used what appeared to be top of the line equipment the whole time so I was quite confident that the crown would come in just right. When I returned a few weeks later to have it put in, the process was super quick, even when it turned out the crown was a bit bigger than it was supposed to be. Once again, Dr. Tran did a wonderful job of making sure I was comfortable and that once the crown was in that it fit properly and wouldn't cause any issues down the road. This was my first major oral procedure and the whole time I felt calm which is very unlike me when it comes to any procedure. I thank Dr. Tran and team for that completely. I'm a patient for life after all of this. I just hope I don't ever need an emergency crown put in for the rest of my life. read more

Mint Dental - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

Very friendly office. Clean and professional. I recommend this dentist. The prices are fair.

I don't like getting my teeth cleaned. I drink coffee- all day long. I throw protein ( chocolate flavored) creatin, and other healthy supplements all day long because I love coffee. You can imagine the plaque buildup. Deema, the dental hygienist that has been cleaning my teeth for the past few cleanings has been so careful, and precise with my teeth it's a relief not to be tense and locked up the entire cleaning. I bleed easily and have recession so when I say Deema has her work cut out for her, she really does. I apologized this time because I knew how much plaque I had and Deema said " I Enjoy cleaning clients with more plaque because we see excellent results right away!" She made me feel great instead of embarrassed. 5 stars to Dr. Tran for a great hire! Very friendly front desk as well. read more

I have been a patient of Mint Dental for about 5 years. All my regular cleanings, X-rays, crowns, etc. I'm particularly writing this today, 11/25/24, because over the weekend, one of my crowns fell off. This crown was very old and done by my previous dentist. It being Thanksgiving week, I was concerned I'd have to live with this situation for the holiday week as Dr. Tran's office was technically closed for the week due to the holiday. I left him a message on Saturday morning and he called me back within an hour or so. He said that while he was going to be out of town for the week, he would come in on Monday morning to take a look and see what he could do for me so that I didn't have to be uncomfortable for more than a week. When I arrived at my appointment, I found out that Dr. Tran had basically opened up the office just to see me. Wow!! Talk about great dental care! I can't say enough about Dr. Tran and his staff and how appreciative I am for the care they gave me today! read more

I went to mint dental for a cleaning. I have been going for a few years now and the care has been consistently excellent. Dr Tran is cheerful and prisms sorry to upsell me on things I don't need, but watches my teeth for signs of any potential problems to catch issues ahead of time and shows me on the X-rays specifically what he means which I appreciate. The dental hygienists are great; really well trained. The receptionist s are also cheerful which is a nice way to be treated these days. Overall, definitely not looking for a change! read more

I had a great experience with Dr. Tran and his staff have a very calming presence. I get nervous with simple cleanings and crown procedures but they made it so easy for me to relax. They are also quick to book an emergency procedure which happened when I broke my crown with some candy. They were able to fit me in the very next day and overall it was a quick and efficient procedure. read more

Who loves going to the dentist? Not me. But ever since my first visit, Beverly and all the other staff have made me feel comfortable and welcome. Dr. Tran is patient and understanding. He is technical and very skilled at what he does. I love how clean the office is and typically I get seen right away. My appointments are concise and quick. Oh... I LOVE the multiple tv screens to watch Netflix while you're having your procedure done. Highly recommend this office!! Still hate the dentist (in general) but can't say better things about this practice. read more

Mint Dental - Had my brackets taken off today... 1 year of Invisalign and beyond happy with the results! - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

I love everything about this dentist. I have a great experience. And will become my regular favorite dentist now.

It took me 2 years to write this review because I wanted to make sure that it is still bothering me and is not an impulsive one. Frist time I saw this dentist was in 2021 when I had 2 crowns done. It took him 2.5 hours to place them because he was engaged with another patient/friend (I have heard them laughing). Eventually, I had to get up and ask how much longer is this going to take. Then he showed up and finished up the job. A year later, I came back for another molar crown, which he botched (the crown was and still is very flat on the bottom and smooth). He would externalize the blame onto me ("you should have said something before I cemented it on.") Eventually, once I gathered more information by consulting with other dentists, and I pressed him and told him that this was his sloppy molding job, he somewhat agreed in a sense that "perhaps, it could have been done better." He would not admit a fault if his life depended on it. Lastly, (this job was done at the same time as the "flat molar") he broke my front tooth (also a crown and tooth was broken on the inside) but again never admitted to anything. Eventually, without direct admitting, he agreed to refund me half of the expense for this particular tooth. His receptionists are also rude. Assistants were nice. I regret not doing a better research when finding a dentist. Now, I have a dentist who is absolutely excellent, not defensive (unlike this one) and is willing to fix this dentist's sloppy job. read more

I rarely write a poor review because I like to focus on the positives, but I have to honestly say that I don't feel that the dental work performed was done well. On three different occasions I had to go back to redo the work. They book appointments tightly so the doctor bounces between patients to see the max number of patients, but I believe they are sacrificing quality and efficiency of work. Multiple times I sat in the chair with my tooth numbed for over an hour before he came back. The office is super clean and the front desk and doc are nice, but I can't vouch for the work. Also, they push for positive feedback on yelp after every service performed, I don't think that right either. I am not going back. I hope this feedback is taken to heart. read more

I found Dr. Tran to be very calm and patient with my mother. He was gentle with her fear of the dentist and took his time explaining the root causes amd preventative measures to take. Bedside manner and professionalism was top notch. Highly recommend for all family and friends. read more

I value Dr. Tran's wisdom & expertise which gives me peace of mind. The hygienist was professional, efficient, and communicated well. The front office staff are friendly, flexible, and welcoming. Years back, Dr. Tran was recommended to me by a former employee. I am so thankful. read more

This was the most pleasant dental experience I've ever had. State of the art equipment and friendly people. Dr. Tran took care of me from Day 1. read more

For someone who doesn't like going to the dentist, this place was fantastic. Very professional staff, super clean and my appointment was efficient. Thank you Dr and Beverly office manager extraordinaire! :) read more

I've been looking for a new dentist so I called this place to see if I could get an appointment and financial information. The lady I spoke to was so rude and belittling me asking me how I knew I needed some procedures done. I immediately knew I wouldn't come here if that's the type of attitude they were giving to potential patients. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE read more

I always thought that the before and after photos are done by photoshop till it happened to me. I had a lot of infections and pain in my teeth for long time, I had a broken tooth since I was 15 years old. I tried around 5 dentists in the last 7 years before Mint Dental and I'm glad that I did all the work on my teeth with Dr. Tran. I trusted him on a treatment plan for 12 months to do 3 implants, two crowns and the smile. It was a long procedure but it worth it. I recommend Mint Dental and Dr. Tran as a trust it place who care about you and not trying to sell you something you don't need. read more

Dr. Tran is amazing! It's always such a pleasure to see him and his staff. Everyone is friendly and nice. He is patient and knowledgeable. I had my clear correct with him and he always listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. He's great with adults and kids, he was amazing with my 2 year old! Keep up the great work guys! read more

See all

Dr. Tran is not just amazing he is so responsive to my concerns about my daughter and self. My daughter has a lot of anxiety when in the chair and he had her in-n-out with out a cry! that in its self is a reason to come to Dr. Tran. The added bonus (and this is a good one) his office staff is marvelous! Not only are they so helpful in all aspects of the whole process (ins, claims) but the helped me understand what was going on at all times, and being a busy mom that is a god sent!! They even helped me with payments! So in closing I would and have recommended this office to many and many more to come!! thank you MINT DENTAL :) read more

Today was my first appointment at Dr. Tran's clinic, and especially after a number of bad experiences with my previous dentist in Los Angeles. He was courteous, warm, professional, and sincere about my patient care needs. I really appreciated him and his hygienist, Erica. I was kindly greeted and assisted with my appointment at the entrance by his office assistant, Dawna. The process of registering as a new patient and everything else was smooth and hassle-free. The clinic was clean, organized, and had a great technology system for registration and other things, including a really cool panoramic X-Ray that I had never seen before. Everyone was wonderful there and I look forward to my next appointment in two weeks! Thank you, Dr. Tran! read more

I am a new patient to Mint Dental and Dr. Tran. I was originally told by my previous dentist that I had a fracture on the #4 upper right tooth and that it had to be extracted and I would need an implant. I am on chemotherapy and the surgeon who I was referred to said I would need to be off my treatment for 3 months or more while the gum heals around the bone. Not a choice for me. I chose to get a second opinion and this is where my journey took a very different path. Dr. Tran took the time to explain his decision after reviewing many x-rays of my teeth and I agreed to go ahead with his advice. My tooth just needed a crown and Dr. Tran saved me from a nightmare! He was honest with me from the very beginning and the appointment was painless. I'm so grateful to Dr. Tran and I look forward to many great dental appointments in the future. Drs staff is very kind and very efficient. Thank you everyone!! read more

I want to shout from the rooftop about the incredible care I received from Dr. Tran and his entire team. I am a retired health care worker myself so I have been "on the inside". Dr. Tran is extremely gentle and a true gem. His professionalism, care, and expertise shines! I had a challenging situation which made it difficult to pinpoint exactly where my pain is coming from. He took his time and tried the least aggressive and least expensive treatment first. He is so meticulous in everything he does and has thought of every detail to ensure your comfort. All the instruments are located behind you so you won't freak out and most importantly, the entire office is impeccably clean. A special shout out goes to Beverly at the front: She is friendly, caring, and just all around fantastic! You will encounter nothing but true dedicated professionals here. I also had a cleaning done with the hygienist Vivian. Again, absolutely top notch and very gentle. So stop reading and make an appointment- you won't regret it! read more

Dr. Tran was amazing with both of my teenagers! I was getting a second opinion for dental work for both of them. He not only confirmed what the actually needed, but offered preventative solutions for their teeth. So appreciative for his kind and caring manner, and he has a fantastic staff....knowledgeable and efficient. Thank you Mint Dental! read more

Mint Dental - Javier's Newport Coast - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

I was in search of a new dentist and decided to go with mint and I'm so happy I did! I don't think I could love Dr Tran more! He's friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and very conservative! Also the entire staff is amazing!! I've honestly never had a filling done where it was virtually painless. I had 3 fillings done last week and I can tell you I had ZERO pain or sensitivity!! Highly recommend :) read more

I have already recommended this office and Dr. Tran to everyone I know. Had terrible tooth pain they got me in the next morning after contacting them later in the day the day before. Did an initial review and had me come back a few hours later to do a temporary fix so I wouldn't be in pain through the weekend, then had me in the following Monday to do all the real work (cavity, crown, etc). Beverly at the front desk is extremely nice and great at explaining procedures/cost. All of the girls that helped in the front office and in the exam rooms were very nice and helpful. Dr. Tran was very gentle and very calming as I had a lot of anxiety going in. He explained everything well and made sure to make the procedure as easy as possible. If you are looking for a new dentist I highly suggest Mint Dental. read more

Dr Tran is truly the best! Once you are a patient of his, & his staff, you will know it doesn't get better than his care/office. I moved out of state, had a prophy appt. & the new dental office was in the dark ages compared to Mint Dental. I used to work at the animal hospital next to Tran's practice & miss it terribly. Dr Tran is the most professional doc w/excellent best-side manner & his office is organized, so clean & the dental rooms are relaxing. Quality people, quality care, quality service. read more

I've lived in several states and experienced more than forty years of different dentists. I can state with 100% certainty that Dr. Tran and the staff at Mint Dental provide the best dental treatment and patient care you'll find. Dr. Tran is delightfully personable and undeniably knowledgeable. His attention to dental detail is truly unmatched. He has created a seamless dental experience with state-of-the-art equipment and thoughtful design. As an added plus, there are TV's mounted to the wall AND ceiling, which is a great distraction for my kids. The gratification doesn't end with Dr. Tran. His office operates like a well-oiled machine. With online patient form submission, automated appointment reminders, precise insurance submission, and clear-cut treatment quotes, your experience is smooth and consistent from start to finish. -- I emailed a question on a Sunday thinking I'd receive a response on Monday. How pleasantly surprised was I to receive a response from office manager, Sia, within ten minutes! Did I mention it was Sunday? Who provides this superior level of service? Mint Dental, that's who. How refreshing! read more

Mint Dental is the best dentistry I've ever visit in my whole life. My kids, husband and I have been visiting Mint dental periodically for routine checkup and for cleaning. I started my first visit 2 years ago when I had periodontal disease. Dr. Tran and Susan explained to me what I had and why. They increased my awareness in taking care of my teeth and gum. Honestly, I didn't use to floss my teeth, now I'm. I didn't use to brush my teeth before I go to sleep and now I am. Dr. Tran discovered that my son had a cross bite and my daughter had an overbite, he referred them to an amazing Orthodonist. Thank you Dr. Tran for being our dentist, we are happy with you and I would definitely recommend Mint Dentist to all my family members and friends. read more

We couldn't be happier with Dr. Tran and his team at Mint Dental! We were a bit nervous to try a new dentist after seeing the same dentist for many years, but have found Dr. Tran to be honest, kind, and an expert in his field. If you're looking for a new dentist, go to Dr. Tran- you won't be disappointed! read more

Love Mint Dental! I've been coming here for over 9 years! And still very pleased with the service, the place is very modern, clean and staffs are very friendly and helpful. Dr. Tran is a great dentist! He uses best material and give best care, best treatment for your teeth. I had a crown in front tooth done for almost 9 years and still looks great, color didn't change, not hurt or anything, so pleased with it, and no one can't tell from the real vs. crown. My sister had her done with a different doctor, hers looks fake and after 2 years the color start to change. Recently I had my normal cleaning and Vivian, the new hygienist did a wonderful job! so pleased with her work! She is professional, gentle, and gives helpful tips to take care of your teeth at home. I hope she stays there for a WHILE! :) Thanks Mint Dental! read more

Can't believe we found a dentist our 6 and 5 year old look forward to going to! Dr Tran has a very sweet and gentle demeanor and always remembers our names. He's thorough with each of my family members. I love how on it the staff are with sending reminders and keeping appointments scheduled out. The waiting room is super comfortable and stocked with coffee and waters. It's a very clean and professional environment - I wish I had a dentist like this when I was young! Definitely recommend them! read more

Hands down one of the best dental experiences I've had. Today was the first time I went, all the staff were very kind and helpful. The dentist was very honest, and very clear about cost and being able to work with me. They also knew I drove an hour away therefore, stayed after hours just to decrease the amount of times I drive. I will definitely be going here in the future. read more

I have genetically bad teeth and spend a lot of time and money at the dentist. I've been to many different dentist and this place is the absolute best. The staff is so friendly and helpful and Dr. Tran is really good. He does top tier work and is very gentle, I had no idea that dental work could be so painless. I would absolutely recommend mint dental to anyone looking for the best of the best read more

I am so terrified of going to the dentist. I had a terrible experience when I was a child and I still have Anxiety with even sitting in the dentist chair! My daughter recommended Dr.Johnny. What a wonderful doctor! He was so gentle, caring and made me feel so comfortable. His office is state of the art. I highly recommend Dr. Johnny! read more

Friendly and thorough. Had a bad experience at my old dentist - I had had a filling done and was experiencing tooth pain for almost a month afterward, I felt like they rushed me in and out and didn't take the time to adjust my bite properly. So I decided to try this place. Dr Tran took a look and was able to fix the issue. My bite was way off, so he said he could adjust it. He was meticulous yet gentle. Afterward my tooth pain felt much better (took a few days for the pain to go away completely.) I'm usually very anxious at the dentist office, but the staff and Dr. Tran did a great job to make sure I was comfortable during the adjustment. They had a flat screen tv on the wall and put on Netflix for me, which helped distract me from the drill. Overall I felt much more relaxed and stress free than usual. The office is very clean, well decorated, and the staff was friendly and overall incredible. Very happy with my experience there. I usually hate going to the dentist, but am happy to find a place that actively works to make you feel more relaxed and cared for. read more

I really like the people at Mint Dental. All of the staff are very friendly, the office is very patient focused, and Dr. Johnny Tran is a very good dentist. My wife and I just moved here, saw the good reviews on Yelp, and were not disappointed. In the initial evaluation - Dr. Tran is VERY thorough. And I mean "VERY THOROUGH". For your first visit, I think he usually cleans your teeth himself, just so he can really get a good view of your mouth, teeth, and gums. This, of course, in addition to the usual X-Rays you get anywhere. But he also has this high tech micro-camera I've never seen before - and large TV Screens where you can watch Netflix during your cleaning, or he can show you pictures and high resolution details of your X-Rays that are concerning. He takes a lot of time to review your prior records, understand your history, and learn your preferences. I've since been back for a second cleaning and a filling. The front desk staff have been amazingly friendly both times as well as every time I have called. And I really like my hygienist. She is thorough, very friendly, does a great job, and takes her time to answer any questions you have. During my initial evaluation - Dr. Tran even spotted a tiny cavity underneath a sealant I have that I think my prior NYC Dentist missed. It was not visible through the sealant, and barely visible on the X-Ray. He offered several options: 1) wait, watch, and see if it grows or 2) explore and remove. I asked for his recommendation - and he said his gut was that it was indeed a cavity - so option 1. We did that - and he was 100% right. I wanted to see for myself - so after drilling, he used the high tech camera to actually take picture and show me on the big screen what it looked like and I'm glad it's now removed and filled. I really like Mint Dental. If you want a good Dentist, a very friendly and competent staff, and fair prices - I think they are probably as good as you'll find. My only recommendation is to let them know whatever your preferences are - because they are great listeners, want you to be happy, to feel comfortable, to understand what is going on with your teeth and how best to take care of them. So if you tell them what you want ( i.e. "I like a really deep cleaning" or "I have very sensitive teeth and like a gentle, slow cleaning" like my wife) - they basically do everything to accommodate. 5 Stars Mint Dental ! read more

If you are looking for a dental community, that really cares about you, this is your place! Going to Mint Dental is a spa experience. Dr. Tran is amazing, as well as his super supportive and personable staff! As soon as you walk into the door, smiles and a comfortable atmosphere greet you. They have thought of everything, to ensure your visit is enjoyable. Once in the chair, you will be offered the latest distractions, with streaming screens surrounding you, and a hot face towel at the end of every session. The team is thorough, personable and truly cares for your comfort. They also provide a detailed, cost effective plan of what is needed moving forward, something my wallet and candy addiction, really appreciates! On a personal note: I had horrid stains and "arrested development" on my front teeth, from too much sugared coffee in my 20's. Dr. Tran is an artist. He not only fixed those leaky fillings, but also gave me confidence in my smile, of which I was not aware I was even lacking! You guys are awesome and sincerely appreciated! #consistantflossing = #mymidyearresolution read more

Both my wife and I have very positive experience with Dr Tran. He is very detailed and explain every thing up front and along the way. Price is reasonable and each visit is always on time. read more

The first time i went to this Dr. I had a feeling he was just a rip off! Last time i was there, couple months ago, they told me i have a very weak gum and would need "deep cleaning" (which was the same case for my husband, at the same week! What a coincidence!!). They also told me i have a cavity that must be removed ASAP and this would be 380$ out of pocket, after insurance pay! Well... there was no pain, nothing! I was traveling right after and went to my dentist overseas, and he said my gum was perfect, and that i had NO CAVITIES! I came back after my trip and sure enough, the filling he told me last year it must be changed, because it's so bad... broke and fell off! I went to a new dentist (3rd one)... they fixed the filling and they said i have no cavities and my gum looks perfect! This Dr is all about money! I have a very good insurance and all he wants is to charge them! Good luck!! read more

I am so happy I found this dental office! I called very last minute for an examination and filling and I was able to get in the same morning. The staff was so friendly and accommodating to my needs and time schedule. The office itself is modern, clean and comfortable! They have everything and more to make sure your visit is a comfortable one. Dr. Tran addressed all of my concerns and made some very helpful recommendations for my oral health. I was able to get on a dental benefit plan through the office which will make all of my future visits much easier on my wallet. I can't say enough good things about this office and staff. I've been searching for a new dental office for months and I can confidently say, I have found my new spot! read more
