Thank you!

I feel incredibly lucky that I found Dr. Dean. I'm only halfway through my treatment, and I'm already beyond grateful for the results. My bite has improved so much already, and what amazed me the most is that Dr. Dean was able to treat my underbite with clear aligners instead of surgery. Since I work with people every day, I wasn't comfortable wearing braces, so this meant a lot to me. His knowledge, experience, and attention to detail are truly top-notch. I couldn't be happier with my decision. Thank you Dr. Dean. I truly appreciate everything you've done for me. I can't wait to see my final results. I'm so happy I trusted you with my smile.

Dr. Kwon was actually our 2nd consult as the 1st consult wouldn't remove his bottom wisdom teeth if we didn't get the bone graft.

No bone graft was necessary and he was great at explaining and giving us options! I love that. Jennifer was also amazing and so caring and kind and followed up with us to see how we were doing. $25 for ice packs, which I recommend for swelling.

I needed to have both of my lower wisdom teeth removed, and since I had never had any kind of tooth…read moreextraction or surgery before, I was extremely nervous. 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.

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.

I want to give a big thank you to Dr. Austin Hoover for taking such great care of my daughter…read moreduring her wisdom teeth extraction. Dr. Hoover extracted three of my daughter's wisdom teeth in less than 20 minutes, and she only needed local anesthesia. The entire experience was much easier and less stressful than we expected. Before visiting Dr. Hoover's office, we consulted with another doctor in Costa Mesa. We were told that my daughter needed to have all four wisdom teeth removed and would need to undergo general anesthesia. They also performed a CT scan and, after reviewing it, told us that one of her wisdom teeth was very close to the nerve. They recommended extracting the tooth but leaving the root behind. We were not comfortable with that recommendation, so we decided to seek a second opinion from Dr. Hoover's office. Dr. Hoover immediately understood what needed to be done and was able to explain the procedure clearly. We felt very confident in his knowledge and expertise, so we decided to have my daughter's wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Hoover. I definitely recommend doctor Hoover

As a dentist, I have referred many patients to Dr. Daniel Hsu over the years, so when I needed an…read moreextraction and implant myself, there was never any question who I would choose. Even with my professional background, I am an anxious dental patient when I'm the one sitting in the chair. What I have always appreciated about Dr. Hsu is his ability to put patients at ease. He takes the time to explain procedures clearly, answers questions thoughtfully, and never makes anyone feel rushed. That same calm and reassuring approach made a real difference to me as a patient. My extraction and implant placement went smoothly, and the recovery was far easier than I expected, with minimal discomfort. The result was excellent. What impresses me most about Dr. Hsu is not only his surgical skill, but also his genuine care for his patients and his attention to detail. His entire team reflects those same qualities--professional, efficient, and truly committed to providing outstanding care. As a referring dentist, recommending Dr. Hsu to my patients has always been an easy decision. After experiencing his care firsthand, my confidence in him is even greater. Quite simply, he is the finest oral surgeon I have had the privilege of working with, and I admire him greatly. -- Dr. Y

I didn't need a diagnosis, since I told the dentist that my implant was loose.

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.

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.

Her jaw was wired shut for weeks, and when it was finally unwired, we learned she would need six teeth extracted and extensive treatment, including bone grafts, sinus lifts, and six dental implants. Dr. Salib came highly recommended, and from the moment we met him, we knew we were in the best of hands. He immediately took charge of our daughter's case and made it a priority to see her as soon as possible. While other doctors recommended keeping her jaw wired shut for a longer period, Dr. Salib was the first to look beyond the injury and see the whole person. He understood the significant physical and emotional toll that remaining in that condition would have on a 20-year-old who had already endured so much. He felt it was not fair to prolong her recovery unnecessarily and, after carefully evaluating her, determined she was ready to move forward with treatment. His compassion, sound judgment, and willingness to advocate for what was best for our daughter made all the difference. Throughout this incredibly difficult journey, Dr. Salib treated our entire family with compassion, professionalism, and genuine kindness. Our daughter needed that level of care, but as her parents, so did we. He patiently explained every procedure, answered every question, and ensured we fully understood each step of the treatment plan. His expertise, confidence, and use of advanced technology gave us tremendous peace of mind. What impressed us even more was how far above and beyond he went. Since our daughter attends college in another state, Dr. Salib personally connected us with a trusted oral surgeon there and worked seamlessly with that doctor and our family dentist to coordinate her care. He also gave our daughter his personal cell phone number and encouraged her to call anytime with questions or concerns. That level of dedication is something you rarely find. Dr. Salib is not only brilliant in his field, but also one of the most caring physicians we have ever met. His staff is equally kind, supportive, and professional, making every visit a positive experience. Our family will be forever grateful for everything Dr. Salib has done for our daughter. Without hesitation, I give him my highest recommendation. If you are looking for an oral surgeon with extraordinary skill, compassion, and integrity, Dr. Salib is simply the best.
