    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.

I called Dr. Kanemaki's office Saturday morning, and they were able to get me in quickly. I had to wait a little while at the office, but it was remarkably short considering I arrived at the last minute and they were busy. Doc Trent was able to quickly repair a pretty gnarly front tooth that had split on an old veneer broke off. He was quick, efficient, friendly, and above all professional. The front office was also great. I've had nothing but positive interactions! This may be my new dental home.

    I've been coming to this practice for about 25-30 years. I absolutely Love the care & treatment…read moreI've received there over the years, plus all the staff were really really great. Sadly with the passing of Dr. Kanemaki (Lord rest his soul) and the selling of part of his practice, practically everyone there now is new. My 1st visit there last year was because my tooth had cracked and I needed a crown. Thankfully I got 1 out of the 2 original doctors left there treated me, but all the assistance were new. When I went back for the actual crown to be put in the assistant had a hard time getting it to fit right, it took quite a while and quite a few times for her to get it in. After that visit I felt as if my crown didn't feel right but I thought it maybe because I was feeling a little soreness from the amount of tries when putting it in and it being new. Unfortunately my crown continued to not feel right and then a little aching started, and unpleasant pain when chewing. I know I needed to go get it checked out but life got busy and I just delt with it until I couldn't take it anymore. Which brings me to present day, just about 1year after the original placing of my crown. I called and they were able to see me in 2 days. When I got there, once again everyone was new to me, and upon checking in the receptionist said she didn't see that I had an appointment. I explained to her that I had called 2 days ago and was told I could be seen on this day. She proceeded to tell me that she didn't see anything down for me and that maybe I called their other office. I said no, I called the office I'm in right now. Before she could say anything another gal there in the front office (who was on a call but I'm sure she heard everything) she jumped in and said to me "It's okay Ma'am have a seat, we will see you shortly." As I was waiting I was able to observe a few of the office staff and dental assistants doing their jobs, but not one of them looked familiar. When I got called back, there were 2 assistants clearly going back and forth as to who was going to take me (pretty awkward). But thankfully the assistant Floř that I ended up with was very very nice and friendly. I had asked her which doctor I was going to be seen by and she told me Dr. Robin. I asked if the original doctor I had seen last year was available. She said no, he was no longer there that he retired. I was a little sad to hear this news. I asked for the only 1 original doctor left which is Dr. Trent Kanemaki but he wasn't working in that office that day. Unfortunately he only works in the Buena Park office 2 days a week. So I was seen by Dr.Robin, she was very nice and thoroughly explained everything that may have been going on with my crown and what needs to be done to fix the problem. I now need a root canal, she referred me to see a specialist for evaluation & CT scan before proceeding with the root canal which is normally procedure. All in all despite the fact that I need a root canal, I feel good and am satisfied with the service & experience I received from Dr.Robin and dental assistant Floř. I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for the situation upon checking in. Hopefully everything works out great for my future appointments with ALL the staff there in the Buena Park office.

    PSA for Dr. Sean's Patients - New Ownership & Aggressive…read more I'm writing this as a PSA for anyone who previously saw Dr. Sean. The office has been completely turned over--new staff, new doctor, and a completely different (and disappointing) approach to patient care. I arrived for my biannual cleaning only to find out the office had changed hands with zero notice. If you get a text asking to fill out "New Patient Information," be warned: they are treating everyone as a brand-new patient to justify unnecessary procedures. The Red Flags: Redundant X-rays: Even though I had X-rays done just last year, they insisted on taking them again immediately. Unprofessional Environment: The new doctor didn't introduce himself and was wearing a gray sweatshirt instead of scrubs or professional clinical attire. It felt very casual and unorganized. Aggressive Sales Pitch: Instead of focusing on my cleaning, I was bombarded with "treatment plans" and pressured into a consult with their in-house endodontist. It felt more like a sales pitch than a check-up. Rough Procedure: The cleaning itself was a nightmare. The doctor was not gentle--I experienced multiple painful numbing injections for a routine cleaning and significant bleeding. The suction was poorly managed, and the whole experience was worlds away from the care Dr. Sean used to provide. I felt completely blindsided. If you valued the gentle, professional care of the previous practice, you might want to look elsewhere. I will be canceling my follow-up and finding a new dentist who prioritizes patient comfort over upselling.

    Came in today for my 3rd and 4th quadrant deep cleaning and also did the laser treatment. Shout-out…read moreto my hygienist, Tien -- he was seriously awesome. Super friendly, patient, and clearly passionate about what he does. He took the time to explain the entire procedure step-by-step, made sure I was comfortable the whole time, and went above and beyond with the cleaning. Very thorough and professional. He also clearly explained after-care instructions (like use salt water to rinse for the first 2 days, no mouthwash unless it's the kind of mouthwash specific for preventing cavities etc.), which I really appreciated. If you're nervous about deep cleaning or just want someone who genuinely cares, ask for Tien. Highly recommend!

I was anxious about the procedure since it's basically minor surgery with sutures, bone grafts and whatnot, but he and the rest of his team really put me at ease. He gave me plenty of numbing agent and I didn't really feel anything except my jaws were getting sore from keeping my mouth open lol. Overall I think it took less than 30 minutes for the first procedure. Dr Baek was really professional and kept asking if I was ok. The teeth cleaning was smooth and easy too. The dental hygienist was confident, informative and and also good at communicating. I was very pleased with her work and will schedule a follow up in 6 months. The best thing about the office was the dental assistants and hygienist did a very good job of sucking out excess saliva and liquids during each procedure. As long as I can remember, I always felt like I was choking on my spit at every dentist I've ever been to but this place does a good job of keeping me from gagging. Overall a really great and smooth procedure. The implant procedure will take about 3 months total. I will follow up with more feedback if anything changes. Otherwise I highly recommend this place!

I know how hard it can be to find a dentist you can truly trust, and I hope this review helps others who might be going through the same search. I had two dental issues that needed attention: a broken crown on my lower left molar and a loose implant on my lower right molar. I had been concerned about finding the right dentist for these treatments and wasn't sure where to go. Luckily, I was introduced to Perfect Smile Dental through my boss, and I'm so grateful for the recommendation. Dr. Jenny Kim took care of my treatment, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. On my first visit, I went in for an exam, and since they had time available that day, Dr. Kim was able to take care of the issue with my right molar implant right away. It was done quickly and smoothly, and amazingly, I didn't even need anesthesia. For the broken crown on my lower left molar, I needed to redo the crown, which required two visits. Both appointments went very smoothly as well. In total, I visited the office three times, and every single visit was efficient, comfortable, and well organized. What impressed me the most was how gentle and skilled Dr. Kim is. I didn't experience any pain during the procedures, and everything was done carefully and professionally. The treatments were completed perfectly and in a surprisingly short amount of time, which made the whole experience even better. I've already scheduled my scaling appointment for next week, and I plan to continue visiting every six months for regular check-ups and maintenance. Finding a truly good dentist isn't easy, so I wanted to share my experience in case it helps someone else who might be searching like I was. I highly recommend Dr. Jenny Kim and Perfect Smile Dental. Thank you to Dr. Kim and the entire team for taking such great care of me!
