I recommend getting exparel if you can afford it. It definitely helps with the pain. Before releasing me they provided me a handout on what I can do/eat on the first day of surgery and the day after. I wish they provided me written instructions for how to handle the rest of the week since my follow up appointment was one week from my surgery. Jennifer is a great staff member who is very helpful. She may have told me verbally on what I could eat throughout the week but I was barely coming off of the anesthesia and don't remember what was said lol All in all, I would highly recommend them.

From the moment I walked into Honest Oral Surgeon, the staff made me feel at ease. They were professional, friendly, and very patient. After taking my X-rays, they carefully explained everything to me and answered all my questions. I also watched a pre-procedure instruction video, which helped me understand what to expect. When I met Dr. Kim, he was professional, clear, and straightforward. He explained my treatment options concisely and also pointed out potential risks related to my other teeth. After discussing everything together, we decided to take a conservative approach -- remove the wisdom teeth first and monitor the other teeth to see if they could recover over time. I really appreciated being involved in the decision-making process. The surgery itself was excellent. It was my first time receiving anesthesia and having teeth extracted, and I can honestly say I felt absolutely no discomfort. Dr. Kim removed both wisdom teeth efficiently and skillfully. (Yes, I could hear the drill and some hammering sounds -- which was a little funny -- but I felt zero pain.) After the procedure, I followed the instructions carefully, took the prescribed medication, and applied ice as recommended. It's now the second day, and I have no pain at all -- not even noticeable swelling. This is actually the longest Yelp review I've ever written, but I truly felt it was deserved. I highly recommend Honest Oral Surgeon and Dr. Kim to anyone who needs oral surgery.

When Sanford Ratner had just told my daughter she needed surgery, she was understandably vulnerable and her eyes welled up. Did he reassure her? No. He MADE FUN OF HER.

Now I've said my piece and can let go of this whole bad experience.

They forgot the extract one of my wisdom tooth,…read more Had to go through another procedure when my dental office contacted them because they were shocked to find they did not remove one for some reason(it was their referral). The original dental office agreed to give me a discount due to this, this ended up pushing everything back and I was not too happy as you would know since it's not a pleasant few months after the extraction surgery is complete. Went back a few times due to excruciating pain during healing, was taken care of quick and they were at least accommodating. Imagine if this was another procedure, and they simply "forgot" to do a procedure. Maybe there were miscommunication, procedures were professional and painless due to anesthesia. I blinked and it was over for both times. Dr. Tran kept checking up on me, she was very accommodating unlike other staff there.

We had such a great experience at Hoover Oral Surgery…read more Dr. Coon was amazing. He was very professional, caring, and responsive to any concerns. Our son was anxious about having his wisdom teeth extracted, but the staff and surgeon put our son at ease. From the first consultation, to the follow-up and his involvement in the recovery process showed his commitment to not only medical care, but also his patients' well-being. The entire team was kind and helpful, and we felt truly taken care of.

I am extremely disappointed with the experience I've had with the office coordinator, Dawn-Marie,…read moreat Hoover Oral Surgery in Santa Ana. To be clear, the oral surgeons themselves--Dr. Caroline and Dr. Hoover--were excellent. They were attentive, skilled, and professional throughout my care. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for their front office coordination. I recently tried to replace a cracked retainer (top and bottom) that I've worn consistently since my corrective jaw surgery. What should have been a straightforward process turned into a frustrating and confusing situation due to repeated miscommunication. I was initially told to wait until I could provide dental insurance before scheduling, which delayed my visit unnecessarily--only to find out later that the office didn't even request that information when I came in. Then, despite clearly explaining multiple times that I needed a full top and bottom retainer, I was told one was ready for pickup. After driving 40 minutes, I was given another night guard--the same one I already have and did not need. Dr. Hoover personally acknowledged the mistake and confirmed that the correct retainer would be made and mailed to me. I paid what I was told was the full amount for the proper retainer. However, I then received a call from Dawn-Marie stating I owed an additional $155, contradicting everything I had previously been told by both her and the front desk staff. During that call, Dawn-Marie was dismissive, spoke over me, and laughed at me multiple times while I was trying to explain the situation. At one point, she questioned why I didn't go through my orthodontist and laughed when I explained my confusion. This was unprofessional and disrespectful. Overall, the lack of communication between the coordinator, staff, and doctors has been extremely frustrating. I'm still waiting for a resolution while concerned about my teeth shifting due to not having the correct retainer. I expected a much higher level of professionalism and coordination from a medical office. Unfortunately, this experience has been anything but that.

I went in on February 24th for my wisdom teeth removal, and Dr. Ali and the entire staff were…read moreincredibly kind and welcoming. I was extremely anxious because it was my first surgery and my first time being put under general anesthesia. However, they took the time to reassure me, explain everything clearly, and make sure I felt comfortable before the procedure began. Their calm and supportive attitude truly made a difference. They checked in with me, answered all of my questions patiently, and never made me feel rushed. The procedure itself went smoothly, and before I knew it, I was waking up feeling relieved. One especially kind dental assistant(I think her name was Valeria?) even helped me into a wheelchair afterward and personally brought me out to my dad's car, making sure I was safe and comfortable the whole time. That small act of care meant so much to me. I'm so grateful for how caring and professional everyone was. They turned what could have been a very scary experience into a positive one, and I highly recommend Dr. Ali and his amazing team!

His staff are top-notch. They run his business like a Well oiled machine. Janet, Caroline, Kelsey and Valarie and I hope I'm not leaving anybody else out if I am I'm sorry they are just so kind. It's the type of Office you call up and they answer the phone immediately when it rings. You don't get that a lot these days when you call a doctor or a dentist. Again, thank you for doing such a wonderful job of extracting my tooth and putting the bone graph in. I took a long nap when I got home thank you for all the prescriptions I picked them up and I'm feeling very good right now. It's about eight hours after my surgery and I was feeling great even when I left the office my husband and I went to the supermarket ha ha I was able to save my tooth too it was all intact I have it in a little baggie. It has been in my mouth from the time I was 12 years old, I was told. Thank goodness it's the very back molar.. again I highly recommend this Doctor for your oral surgery for anything in your mouth. You are well taken care of. Thank you again everybody! Stacey

Went to OC Smiles on Friday 3/13/26 for a loose implant because my dentist is closed on Fridays…read more Helena was great and the only good thing i will have to say about my experience. I didn't need a diagnosis, since I told the dentist that my implant was loose. He decided to take a ct scan, charge me for it and charge me for his false "diagnosis." $290 later.. he told me I need a New crown and wanted me to pay $2900 to return for 2 more visits to "fix" it. I Declined his outrageous treatment plan, knowing my implant was just loose. I waited until Monday with no problems and went to my dentist Dr. John Vartanian (Newport Beach) who did the implant for me. He tightened the screw and I was out of there in 10 minutes for free. I believe SoCal Smiles owes me $290 back for their unnecessary scan and incorrect diagnosis. They were trying to sell me something I didn't need and I'm quite upset about how this was handled when I brought it to their attention. I would go elsewhere and not trust this place with your time or money.

My father…read moresuffered a stroke and is permanently disabled, with significant mobility and communication limitations. Multiple dental offices were unable to treat him due to the need for medical clearance and hospital-based care. After several weeks of unsuccessful coordination, my father developed a fever and was admitted through the emergency department, where we met Dr. Thiede. Dr. Thiede evaluated my father in the hospital and proceeded with the removal of all infected teeth. My father was admitted on a Friday evening, seen by Dr. Thiede on Saturday morning, and the procedure was appropriately scheduled and completed on Sunday. Dr. Thiede was thorough, patient, and took the time to answer all questions, which was greatly appreciated given the complexity of my father's medical condition. The office and hospital staff were also professional, kind, and accommodating. During a follow-up visit, our wheelchair transport service canceled at the last minute, and my father had not been eating for several days post-discharge. Despite scheduling constraints, the staff accommodated his appointment without hesitation and without making us feel at fault. As a result of the care provided, my father is recovering well and has been able to resume eating. I am sincerely grateful to Dr. Thiede and his team for their professionalism, coordination of care, and compassionate approach in a medically complex case.
