Gaetano S.

Today is my wife's 2nd dental care day. We didn't do the regular cleaning during the pandemic. We were so concerned about the Covid. That is why she needed to do the deep cleaning for 2 weeks in a row. First, I had one zirconia crown about 3 years ago and I really liked Dr. Samuel Au for our family dentist for years. He is so gentle and perfect, always makes people comfortable and reliable. His staffs are so friendly and attentive. Especially Cindy at the front desk is wonderful. She always understands the emergency and arranges the urgent care for the patients. The doctor has lots of skills for the crown and the cleaning too. The price is good and you feel so relaxed during the procedure. So gentle!!!! He got orange county Best Dentist Awards in 2016, 2019, and 2022. Brovo!!! My wife and I are so happy to have a great dentist in our home area. Remember their business hour! Closed on Wed but opens until 2 on Sat. Thanks Dr. AU and all the staffs. Especially Cindy is awesome.

Dr. Safa suggested that I try doing it without nitrous because he thought I would be completely fine without it. I decided to trust him, and he was right! I didn't need the nitrous at all, and the whole procedure was so much easier than I had built it up to be in my head. Dr. Safa was gentle, patient, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Ruth was also so kind and reassuring, which really helped calm my nerves. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience, especially for something I was so nervous about. I would definitely recommend Dr. Safa and Ruth, especially if you have dental anxiety. Thank you both for taking such great care of me!

From the moment I walked in, Dr. Gabbay and his team made me feel comfortable, listened to my concerns, and never made me feel rushed. Dr. Gabbay was incredibly kind, patient, and compassionate throughout the entire procedure. He took the time to explain everything he was doing, answered all of my questions, and constantly made sure I was doing okay. His calm demeanor and genuine care immediately put me at ease. The procedure itself was smooth, comfortable, and far easier than I ever expected. What I thought would be one of my worst dental experiences turned out to be one of my best because of Dr. Gabbay's skill and professionalism. If you have any fear or anxiety about dental work, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Gabbay. Finding a doctor who combines exceptional expertise with such compassion is rare, and I'm incredibly grateful I was referred to him. Thank you, Dr. Gabbay, for making what I feared most into such a positive experience. I would recommend you without hesitation to anyone needing a root canal or endodontic treatment. Five stars all the way!

At the beginning of the month, I was in a terrible rollerblading accident. It was honestly one of…read morethe worst times of my life. The damage to my smile affected me tremendously, and I fell into a severe depression. I was desperate to get my teeth fixed and start feeling like myself again. I was referred to Root Vision Endo in Lakewood. It took some time for them to accept my insurance, but once they did, I scheduled an appointment. The office was clean, and although I was extremely nervous, I trusted that I was in the hands of professionals. The doctor examined and tested three of my teeth. Based on that evaluation, I was told that I needed three root canals. I trusted the diagnosis and agreed to move forward, paying $1,099 out of pocket because I was desperate to restore my smile. Afterward, I returned to my regular dentist and was devastated to learn that two of the teeth that received root canals could not be saved and would need to be removed. I cannot explain how upsetting that was. I had just endured three root canals, the pain and recovery that came with them, and a significant out-of-pocket expense--only to be told that two of those teeth still needed to be extracted. That $1,099 could have gone toward the bridge and restorative treatment I now need. Instead, my treatment has been prolonged, I endured additional procedures, and I am now facing even more dental expenses. I understand that dental outcomes are not always guaranteed and that different providers can have different professional opinions. However, based on my experience, I deeply regret not getting a second opinion before proceeding with three root canals. If you are dealing with a dental emergency or trauma and feeling desperate like I was, please advocate for yourself and consider getting a second opinion before agreeing to major treatment. When you're scared and just want your smile back, it's easy to put all your trust in the diagnosis you're given. Unfortunately, my experience left me extremely disappointed, financially impacted, and still without the restored smile I was trying so desperately to get back.

I was in need of a root canal and Dr. Vasa from Peppertree dental referred me to Dr. Kim (who is literally down the street). I have never been so satisfied with the outcome of my procedure that I am now telling everyone I know to get a referral to Dr. Kim if they ever need a reliable endodontist. Dr. Kim knows patients are anxious, so after he listened to all my concerns he told me how I am under their care now, and just hearing that gave me a wave of assurance. During my procedure he was VERY generous with numbing me. I told him that I never felt this numb in my life, he laughed and said "he's not cheap". I kid you not, I almost fell asleep. I didn't feel any sharp pain, and I gotta say, the Hawaiian radio he has for BGM was a good touch. Dr. Kim is very attentive, understanding, and kind. His team is also a reflection of his leadership. Safe to say he has my fiancé's ultimate stamp of approval. As a person that works in healthcare, I am satisfied with their work efficiency and appreciate their follow up calls the next day to make sure I was doing okay. Hopefully I won't have to go back, but in the case I do need another procedure I know where to go.

This office is a gem among the numerous dental shops around the area - Dr. Bui truly cares about the patient and the quality of her work, which is rare these days. Assistants Rebecca and Ashley are great at their job - both at the front desk and when helping Dr. Bui. Wonderful people all around! Los Cerritos Dental has been our family dental office for over 2 years now - my wife and our 10 year old daughter are loving the service as well! I'd give Dr. Bui 6 stars, 5 is not enough!

She does the cleanings herself and is incredibly gentle and precise. When my wife had a chipped tooth, Dr. Bui repaired it so flawlessly you couldn't even tell it had been damaged. Her attention to detail is unmatched. The office is refreshingly transparent with billing. They clearly explain what's covered and what's not, so there are no surprise charges. Her assistants, Ashley and Rebecca, are amazing--always helpful, kind, and professional. Rebecca is especially knowledgeable about billing and insurance, and they accept all types of insurance, which makes things much easier. One thing we really appreciate is that the office is never overbooked. Appointments run on time, and you never feel rushed or like you're being squeezed in. That calm, organized flow makes every visit feel respectful and relaxed. Dr. Bui is a hardworking, honest general dentist who never pushes unnecessary procedures. That integrity is a big reason why our family's dental health is in such great shape. In a time when it's rare to find a dentist who isn't driven by upselling, Dr. Bui stands out for her genuine care and professionalism. She's also amazing with kids. When our daughter needed six fillings years ago, Dr. Bui made the experience painless and reassuring. She used laughing gas, which she's certified in, and avoided general anesthesia--something other dentists were recommending. We appreciated that thoughtful approach and have trusted her ever since. Scheduling is easy, and the office runs smoothly. Whether it's a routine cleaning or a more involved procedure, we always feel well cared for. And here's a fun detail: Dr. Bui has the perfect height for a dentist--she works comfortably without needing to slouch, which you don't always get with taller dentists. It's just one more reason her work is so precise and consistent. We're grateful to have found her--and we recommend her wholeheartedly. Sunny and family!

Dr. Chu is super sweet, thorough, and takes the time to explain any dental issues you have and how to go about resolving them. Excellent in returning calls with questions and her prices are always reasonable. When I needed to fix a tooth that cracked from grinding my teeth she took the time to explain to me what my insurance would cover and what options I had - to the cent. She also has a method she uses when numbing your gums in order to minimize pain and it totally works for me. She's awesome :) My mother is in her 70s and cannot lay flat - which is an issue when you have to lay in a dentist chair - but Dr. Chu worked around it. My mom also gets anxious just thinking about having to go to the dentist and will make a hundred excuses as to why she can't make an appointment but Dr. Chu's patience and kind demeanor really helped my mom get over her fear and since she has started seeing her she is now able to relax in the chair. Long story short, my mom LOVES Dr. Chu and continues to see her regularly. Our whole family loves her and you will too!

Everyone is consistently professional, kind, and welcoming, and the quality of care is excellent. Over the years, I've completed Invisalign and had my wisdom teeth removed through their office. When Dr. Devani discovered that one of my teeth had a dead nerve, he referred me to an excellent endodontist for a root canal. The procedure and recovery went smoothly, and Dr. Devani continued helping me afterward with the appearance of the tooth. Michelle has often been my dental hygienist, and she is wonderful. She is thorough with my X-rays, cleanings, and checking the health of my teeth and gums. She is also incredibly friendly and sweet, which always makes appointments more comfortable. Dr. Devani is knowledgeable, patient, and always takes the time to explain everything clearly. I also think it speaks volumes that so many members of his team have remained with the practice throughout the seven years I've been a patient. I even recommended him to my partner, who never enjoyed going to the dentist or felt motivated to attend regular checkups. Premier Smiles completely changed his perspective! I genuinely trust Dr. Devani and his team and will continue recommending Premier Smiles Dentistry to my friends and family.
