Dr. Chirco has been taking care of my teeth since I moved to Los Alamitos about 12-13 years ago. I was one of those patients who had a severe fear of the dentist due to my past experiences. And Dr. Chirco and her staff have consistently helped ease that fear at every visit. I recently completed my Sure Smile orthodontic alignment journey with Dr. Chirco and her staff, and they were always very welcoming and knowledgeable every step of the way. I also have a very busy work schedule and health issues that would occasionally require me to reschedule our monthly visit.... But her staff was always friendly, understanding, and open to trying to accommodate me when they could. I cannot thank them enough for my new found confidence in my smile. Dr. Chirco and her staff are absolutely the best at their craft! read more

Always the perfectionist wanting and delivering the best smile and teeth, can't say enough. Her staff is very courteous and kind. Highly recommend. read more

Once again I am back with another review. I was due for a cleaning and was greeted by wonderful & welcoming front desk staff and got to have wonderful care on my teeth! I love Dr Chico and her Staff they are truly amazing at what they do :) read more

Dr Chirco is the really great! My teeth are in excellent condition because of her. She made it easy to switch out my old silver fillings for white ones at a reasonable price. She's a little more expensive than other dentists but it's the going rate for the most part in the Seal Beach/Los Alamitos area. Because my teeth are in excellent condition, she allowed me to negotiate a rate for ongoing treatment care with the hygienist. The reason I stopped coming here was because I moved and my favorite hygienist moved onto a different career. read more

This dental practice isn't pushy; nor did they try to persuade me into getting work done that is not necessary. I feel like I am in very good hands at this dental practice and I highly recommend this place. I'm a new patient to this place; and I was experiencing sensitivity on one tooth. I called and left a message during their after hours. Dr. Chirco was very responsive and sympathetic. She was courteous enough to call me back right away and she saw me the next business day. I felt very at ease with how well the dental practice is following health and safety guidelines. Prior to check-in, patients complete a covid pandemic disclosure, call the office prior to entering; and temperatures are taken upon check in. The office is very clean and they run a high end air purifier. My room was also very clean. And of course all of the staff wears protective face masks & gloves. After my initial consultation, I returned a couple of times for my checkup, teeth cleaning and fillings. Barbara took my x-rays. She was very gentle and I liked the comfortable inserts she used for the xrays. They weren't the typical old school cardboard material ones that hurt gums. She also used a hand held xray camera. Alexi did my tooth cleaning. Wow! She was very gentle and thorough. I couldn't be happier with the results. Dr. Chirco is also very thorough and gentle. I really appreciate how caring she is; and takes the time to listen and make sure I am happy and comfortable with the work she does. She was very gentle when applying the anesthesia. She was also gentle when doing the fillings. I am very happy with the work she did. My fillings came out great! The lady at the front desk who handles the insurance and payments is very courteous and efficient. I'm very happy to have found Dr. Chirco in my in network dental insurance plan. She's great and so is her staff! I'll be returning soon - I booked my kids for their cleaning and check up! read more

Shanna Chirco, DDS - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

The staff (front desk, hygienists, dentists) is professional and very friendly. I've had my fillings and deep cleaning done here. I appreciate they tell you how much insurance will cover and what I will need to pay before doing the services. They text you to remind you of upcoming appointments so you don't forget. I don't really like going to the dentist and put it off for along time but glad I found this place. read more

My biggest flex is I have no cavities All thanks to the best Dentist around! Thank you, for always keeping me looking as fresh as this little tooth with sunglasses. Dr. Chirco is super sweet!

I've had great dental care from Dr Chirco since becoming a patient there about 3 years ago. Everyone at the office have always been extremely friendly and helpful. Right before Christmas last year, I had a dental emergency on a Saturday. I was leaving for Chicago the next day to visit family, and thought that I may have to go to the emergency room. I called Dr Chirco, and 45 minutes later I was sitting in the dental chair having an excellent repair done. I am extremely impressed with the professionalism, compassion and care that I received. Dr Chirco made it seem so easy and effortless, and opened up her office on a Saturday to help me. Thank you!!! read more

Dr. Chirco makes going to the dentist easy. I have recommended her to my family and friends and they are pleased as well. I appreciate her dedication to her work and her genuine care for her patients. Thank you for all the work you've done for me and my family. read more

Thank you again Dr chirco for making my smile beautiful and making it pain free. Did a cleaning with Kim who was so wonderful and knowledgeable . I had Dr Chirco fix my smile and I cannot stop smiling thank you so much for all your hard work :)!!! read more

Today I have a 11am appointment , this appointment is the office front desk called me yesterday said someone cancel and fill me in , but this early morning I called to reschedule the time due to a time restriction . The front office doesn't allow me to reschedule just want to charge me a $35 cancel fee. Very bad customer service , never come back again . read more

Last October, after my regular dental cleaning, Doctor Chirco wanted me to switch silver fillings to white because of her preference. I ended up with horrible unidentified tooth pain and headache for months, including Christmas. Also my real teeth was being shaved very sharp around the edge during the procedure. I was very disappointed since they don't grow back. Then Doctor Chirco suggested root canal option, which was too much for me to handle, from a unnecessary fillings change to root canal. Although she was trying to see me every week to help, I had hard time to trust her. In addition, I have seen her hygienist changing tools without gloves few times, even after I pointed out the concern first time. My five year old had a dental check up with doctor Chirco, but she has not informed me that my five year old has cavities until I took him to another dentist nearby a week later. This is the first time I had such bad experiences with a dentist. I will not go back there again. read more

After my previous dentist retired, I started searching for a new dentist and so happy I that I found Dr. Chirco! The office is welcoming and professional and it is actually possible to speak to a "live person" when calling the office. Dr. Chirco does excellent work and I really appreciate that she communicates with her patients every step of the way. I recently had a crown replaced and the entire process was clearly communicated and pain-free. Dr. Chirco has a caring nature yet manages to balance her time with efficiency and with the support of very qualified staff members. I highly recommend Dr. Chirco to anyone looking for a new dentist! read more

After my dentist retired during Covid, i had to look for a new one. After a little bit of research we decided to give Dr Chirco a try. We couldn't be happier. Wonderful staff, from the receptionist, office manager, dental hygienists, assistants and Dr Chirco, they have all been very kind and respectful and provided excellent services. The front staff are very welcoming, friendly, courteous, efficient, and always working with my schedule and trying to fit me in. Michelle did my teeth cleaning and was amazing. Very gentle and thorough. Dr. Chirco is super friendly, not pushy, takes the time to explain everything, makes you feel comfortable right away and is very gentle. My kids are also very comfortable coming in. We are so very happy to have found Dr Chirco and her team. We highly recommend Dr Chirco and her team, they are seriously amazing!! read more

I have been going to for 3 years, the office treats me like a friend instead of a patient. Dr. Chirco thoroughly exam and provides options: never pushed into "nice to do procedures" or rushed me, sincere ethical, does amazing jobs on procedures (fillings, crown). My crown felled off, the office accommodated and squeezed me in the next day even though they had a full schedule. A dentist that I can trust is very important to me. Highly recommended. read more

Wow ..... where to begin!! Dr Chirco and her staff are phenomenal. I began going to there're office last year with my son and I couldn't be more please with their work . They are gentle, patient and so kind. I was worried about my son but they took amazing care of him. As for myself Dr Chirco gave me the greatest smile ever pearly whites and healthy teeth If you looking for great dental work and family vibe this is definitely the place to get your dental work done at. I am forever a patient . Thank you Dr Chirco and Team read more

Wonderful experience here. Dr. Shanna and her entire staff are so professional , kind, and hard working! I can tell Dr. Shanna is passionate about her work, but she is also very compassionate and gentle. During my fillings procedure she never failed to make sure I wasn't even experiencing a slightest bit of discomfort or pain. From the front desk staff to the dental assistants, everyone has shown me excellent customer service and care. If you're hesitant and fearful about the dentist, I highly recommend coming to see Dr. Shanna and her team. read more

Wait.....did I just like a dentist?!? I did, and I actually had fun at her office! I called about 4 other places before I found Dr Chirco, and I'm so glad they were all incompetent and either couldn't book an appointment or answer a phone properly. Dr Chircos staff was polite and professional from the first time they answered my call. They are even more amazing in person. The office was in a nice complex and was very clean, comfortable and decorated beautifully. But let's talk teeth and money. They took my insurance and verified everything. I felt comfortable with the prices they quoted me, as I felt like previous dentists had been suspiciously expensive. Dr Chirco took the time to explain everything to me, she is very easy to talk to and is very knowledgeable. She did an excellent job cleaning my teeth and went beyond the standard cleaning because it had been a while since I had a dental visit. I felt confident in what she told me about the work that needed to be done and I'm actually looking forward to going back and getting my teeth fixed! Love this place, this has been the best dental experience I've ever had!! read more

Shanna Chirco, DDS - Really cute waiting room! Such a nice office! - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

I'm very disappointed with my experience with the office. After doing a lot of research, I contacted the office to schedule an appointment. They confirmed they were in network with the great PPO dental plan I have however have zero appointments available. Seriously, they can't even book me weeks out? I explained how I had gone through extensive cancer treatment last year and am having issues with my teeth due to treatment and medications I have to take. I asked for a referral somewhere since I cannot have just any dentist work on my teeth and she said no, she couldn't recommend anyone. Basically telling me I'm SOL. She wasn't even kind about it. Very very disappointed. read more

So glad I switched to Dr. Chirco after seeing my previous dentist for 20 years. During her very thorough exam, she told me how nice my teeth were and that she could tell that I take good care of my teeth at home, this caught me by surprise because my old dentist would always tell me that my teeth were bad! I've always been a little self conscious about my teeth even though I've spent thousands of dollars on braces, cleanings, etc. with my previous dentist but she made me feel more confident with my smile! Her staff makes us feel so comfortable and they explain things very thoroughly. The ladies at the front desk are also very good at what they do! I've only been here once for myself and once for my husband and I love it already Update: Got my second cleaning today and the hygienist was wonderful! She made me feel so comfortable and gave me great advice on how to brush and make sure I control plaque build up! read more

Had a wonderful experience. The office is top notch! Everyone there is super nice and thoughtful. I had the absolute best cleaning ever. Erica did an incredible job and even showed me how to brush properly. I love this place. read more

Dr Chirco is gentle and has cured me of my fear of dentists. I used to have to bring a stuffed animal with me as a security blanket of sorts for my few visits but she was able to make me feel so comfortable, my stuffed animal can stay home now! I joked with Dr Chirco that I was going to write a book about her and entitle it "Zen and the Art of Dentistry". She is so calm and kind and confident, it is really not that much of an exaggeration to think such a thing should be written. The entirety of the staff members are so very congenial and helpful. I really love Rosa, her technician. read more

I went again today for a cleaning, and I left just as impressed as the first time. The hygienist was so kind and made the experience painless. Dr. chirco, as always, stop by to say hello. Staff was welcoming as always. Highly recommend this office. I make the long drive from where i live but it's well worth. read more

Highly recommend!!! The receptionist Mindy was beyond helpful getting me all setup and was friendly. The dentist and her assistant made sure I felt as comfortable as possible while they fixed my tooth that I had chipped and also filed them down. 100 times better than before! Definitely will be coming back again the next time around! read more

I found Shanna's office on the Delta Dental website for accepting my PPO and being Board Certified. I cross-referenced the dentists who met my criteria with Yelp, and found her office to be well reviewed. After my first visit I can agree with all of the 5 star Yelp reviews with confidence! The office staff and Shanna are all very nice people. Shanna was easy to talk with and very efficient with her time during my procedure. She worked fast but with a level of precision and skill that made me feel comfortable and confident! Those are qualities I look for but don't always find in a dentist. I feel like I have found MY dentist and look forward to coming back regularly! Thank you to Shanna and the entire team. read more

I have visited her a few times and she has been amazing. I usually hate dentists but the staff and dentist were really comforting. I would highly recommend Dr Chirco. read more

Shanna Chirco, DDS - I usually hate the dentist, but Dr. Chirco has been wonderful and is always on time !! - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

Finally found my go-to dentist--a dentist I can trust (doesn't upsell) and understands what I need. Great communication from her staff, too. Best thing is how quickly I got in and out of the office. Filled out new customer paperwork and emailed it back an hour before my appointment. Arrived at my scheduled time and she was ready for me. Twice! I'm planning on going back to Dr. Chirco for a long time. Definitely recommend. read more

Hi yelp universe my name is Matthew , and I was looking for a dentist after having a few bad experiences in short dr Chirco was the best experience I have had thus far...kind , compassionate, took time t explain things t help me and work with me also very flexible I felt very comfortable with her , I cannot recommend her and there staff high enough . read more

I have known Dr. Chirco for quite some time and have received cleanings from her whenever I can schedule an appointment when I am in town. The last time, she informed me that I had a cracked molar and that my silver metal filling really did need to come out. She, unfortunately, did not have time but strongly advised I visit a dentist in my neighborhood to get it done. I, being human, ignored her advice. Last week, I made an unexpected trip out to southern California, and called up Dr. Chirco to see if she had a spot available. She did, and she told me "Friday, I'll book you for two hours." TWO HOURS???? Ok. NO need to hyperventilate. I went in with my 8 month old baby (I needed moral support), and she was immediately whisked away in her stroller to be cooed at and entertained. I was promptly seated for xrays. The assistant (I'm sorry I forget her name!) was very friendly and answered my many questions (what's that spot? why is that darker?). Then came The Drilling. No, j/k-first came The Shot. Thankfully Dr. Chirco numbed the area first, and was prompt in her warnings "it will be a pinch." I made horrible faces, but it didn't really hurt. Now-for The Drilling. You know what's the worst part of the dentist? The sound. The whiiiiiiiirrrr sound that gets in your ears and, and the flying tooth dust, and the water, and the sucking, and everything else that gives you the heebs. They were all there, except...the drill noise was surprisingly soft! I asked Dr. Chirco about that (is it all in my head?) and she explained that the motor on her drill is much softer than traditional drills. Not even an hour later, I was out of the chair with a brand new filling, I was in no pain, and no sensitivity of the tooth! Dr Chirco makes sure she is up to date on the latest procedure, the latest tools, and most importantly, makes sure that her office is there to put you at ease. If you are going to be an (adult) baby about going to the dentist, you can't go wrong with Dr. Chirco! read more

Let me start out by saying that I am deathly scared of needles. Dr. Chirco made me feel so comfortable and her injections weren't painful like my previous dentists. The thing that stands out is that she took the time to explain everything she was doing and the reason behind it. I actually went home and recommended her to a bunch of my friends and family. I think I found my primary dentist! read more

Visiting a dentist office is one of my least favorite activity. I don't like the idea of hearing that drilling sound which makes me cringe even the thought. After a long over due visit, I step into Shanna Chirco's office. Her friendly and accommodating staff made me feel at ease--Claudia and Barbara. There are others but I did not get their names. All others were very helpful. This type of environment made me feel calm and a willing patient. I was able to listen and grasp Dr. Shanna's through explanation of the procedure to come in a step by step fashion. I have confidences now to start my regular dental cleaning visits. Thank You all Dr. Shanna and Staff! **Highly Recommended** read more

So happy I found her! People do yourself a favor and look no further. Sr chirco is amazing and her staff is great as well. Very clean office, no long wait times either. Very personable and most of all honest. Claudia who runs the office is just the sweetest lady ever. I don't live close but I will drive the distance to come here. Parking is brutal but I deal with it because she is just that good. read more

If 10 stars were available I'd give this establishment a 10+. De. Chirco and her ENTIRE staff are an absolute joy. Kind, nice, efficient, professional.....The BEST dentist and dental experience I've ever had. I feel at home, I feel comfortable and I feel like a friend! They communicate with you regarding dental work, insurance coverage etc. in a professional yet personal manner. They educate you and walk you through each process and set your worries at ease. I highly recommend this business. read more

Dr Shanna Chirco Rocks! I was shopping around for a good dentist in Downey that covered everything. Couldn't find one until I was referred by a family friend. So I made an appointment for my 9yr daughter hoping she will approve considering her fear with dental offices. When the appointment was done the big smile on my daughter face was the assurance I needed to make Dr Shanna Chirco her official dentist. Thank you Shanna you are great! Keep doing what your doing, I'll soon be your next patient. read more

My family's favorite dentist by far. Waiting room is comfortable and decorated nicely. Front office staff is friendly and professional. Dr. Chirco is so compassionate and caring and that is also reflected in her medical staff. I highly recommend this practice to anyone and I'm so glad we found her. read more

We didn't realize just how great Dr. Chirco and her staff were until we enrolled in Medicare. Dr. Chirco's office was not part of our Medicare network through Delta Dental. So, we tried several other "in-network" dentists only to discover how mediocre some dental offices can be. Clearly, all dentists are NOT the same - and the quality of procedures, even simple cleanings, can vary dramatically from one to another. Dr. Chirco and her staff are excellent - and the quality of care is always superb. One example: Dr. Chirco allows her hygienists up to a full hour for a cleaning, while my Medicare dentist takes only 20-30 minutes and seldom uses a hand tool for detailed scaling. The difference is striking -- and it matters to me. While we do take advantage of subsidized dental care offered through Medicare, we regularly come back to Dr. Chirco (on an "out of pocket" basis) for an annual cleaning and any of the more serious dental work we require (e.g. cavities, crowns and cosmetic work). We greatly appreciate the quality of her work and the professionalism of her office. read more

Check off all the boxes! Excellent work, "dental chair manner", knowledge, and addresses any product concerns! I went to Dr. Chirco for my front tooth, which is obviously important since it's right there in front! She made it look amazing and matched the rest of my tooth and the teeth next to it. I am so happy. I will switch from my private pay holistic dentist to Dr. Chirco because of her knowledge about products and her respect for my concerns over metals and chemicals. Her hygienist Nicole is also great as well as office staff! read more
