I highly appreciate Christopher Auyong at Smile Moderne for his gentle care and attention to detail with my dental work over the past few years. During every visit, Dr. Auyong takes the time to ensure the work is completed thoroughly and that I am fully satisfied with the results. He always begins with X-rays and a detailed consultation, clearly explaining the treatment and procedures he will be performing. Thank you, Dr. Auyong, for providing safe, trustworthy, and exceptional dental care for me and my family. read more

Amazing experience today; As always! Chris brings such an amazing experience to dentistry and healthcare. Service that anyone expects from a healthcare provider, but Smile Modern delivers. Procedures and advice are top tier. As a patient I am so happy to be coming here for years. read more

I highly recommend Smile Moderne for all your Dental needs! They are the BEST Dentist I've ever gone to! We drive an hour just to come see Dr. Chris and Serena! read more

Finally found a dentist I trust!! As someone who struggles with drs appts & anxiety, I am so thankful I have found this office where I am so relaxed, feel comfortable, and not on edge. This team makes everything so simple and I never feel like they are rushing my appointment. My cleanings & x-rays are pain & anxiety free, calm, and I can tell that Dr Chris takes his time which is so appreciated. Everyone needs to come here! read more

My husband and I have been going to Dr Chris for over 4 years now and so happy we found him. His wife Serena is so friendly and easy to schedule with. It's just his office so no long waits or other patients in the office. When I told Dr Chris that I had a terrible, scarring experience with fillings at another office (that led me to find him) he took extra care to make my experience getting the additional fillings I needed much more comfortable and I was much more confident in his work and that he was being honest with me. Really happy with Dr Chris and would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants a positive experience and to support a family business. read more

This review is long overdue...I've been going to Smile Moderne for about 3 years now and it is a fantastic practice. Dr. Chris is an excellent dentist and extremely gentle and knows what he's doing. He takes his time and does not rush his work like some other dentists that just rush rush rush so they can see more patients - Dr. Chris does quality work and it shows. Some of the fillings he put on the outside of my teeth, I can't even tell which tooth he worked on because the filling he put looks just the same as my tooth! Dr. Chris goes over and above as well - I've emailed him outside of my office visit asking him questions and he responds to my email with thorough details and has even called me to discuss if it is too much to write in an email. Dr. Chris' wife, Serena, is the office manager, and she is very kind and personable and always flexible and willing to help out as much as possible. She follows up with appointments well and runs the office and keeps it clean - the office and practice is VERY clean and I always feel comfortable during any visit. Recently, my dental insurance through work became "Out-of-Network" with Smile Moderne, but I chose to stay with them even if I have to pay a little more because I know the quality and work will be top notch!! GIve them a try if you're new, you won't be disappointed... read more

Serena and Dr. Chris are outstanding. Serena has a background in customer service having worked at the Disney corporation for many years. Serena, Dr. Chris know how to connect with patients and their families, anticipate their needs, and actually deliver on what they say. A lot of dental practices will nickel and dime you and/or up charge you on a whole host of unnecessary products and services but Serena and Dr. Chris keep it very transparent in a no pressure, no haggle environment. They are a wonderful team and I'm enjoyed bringing my family here for many years and will continue to do so as long as we can. read more

A few years ago we needed to find a new Dentist. We were very blessed to find Smile Moderne. Going to the dentist is not my favorite thing to do but they go the extra mile to do a great job. If your looking for a new dentist give them a try. read more

The BEST duo! They make you feel so comfortable, I've always been scared of the dentist because I've had cavities growing up and even a root canal when I was young, but I was so happy to get recommended Smile Moderne! I've been going here for a few years now, and I will never leave! Thank you guys for being so patient with me :) read more

Both Serena and Chris are friendly and amazing. Weird to say it is a joy to do my dentist visits but they are both conversational and professional. Highly recommend! read more

I have never actually kept up with going to the dentist every 6 months until I started seeing Dr. Chris and Serena. My husband and I (and our 2 year old) have had the most wonderful experience at Smile Moderne! We love them! read more

Always a pleasure to visit Dr Chris and Serena. You actually get your cleaning from the dentist instead of a hygienist, which, seems to me, makes it more likely to identify any problem areas. Chris is thorough and always has time to address any issues you have questions about. Only one patient at a time which means you rarely wait past your appointment time. read more

Hands down the best dentist I've ever been to! I was referred to Smile Moderne by a friend a while ago and I'm so glad I was. Serena and Chris are genuinely kind, welcoming, and amazingly attentive. They even remember details from conversations we had over six months ago. You really feel cared for here. read more

Absolutely the best dentist & duo around! Every time we visit we are treated like family & our daughter leaves excited for her next visit - which is more than we could ever ask for. Would highly recommend to anyone we know! So much so that we drive an hour out of our way to take them here! read more

Not only do you get expert, personalized care but an exceptional customer service in a clean and comforting environment. They think about every part of the process to make it as comfortable as possible. You don't feel like you're visiting a dentist office! You feel like you're part of an old school family practice. read more

I've been coming here for years and Dr. Chris and Serena never fail! The cleanings are always painless and they provide a very welcoming environment to all patients. read more

Chris and Serena are super gentle and friendly. They are the best. Thank you for making me not afraid of going to dentist anymore.

Finding a new dentist is stressful, especially when you've had bad experiences with so many (PTSD from my HMO days when a dentist was forced upon you). Smile Moderne is, by far, the best dental practice I've ever across. Dr. Chris and Serena immediately make you feel at home and you can feel their sincerity during each visit. To make things even better, they're huge food and Disney fans, so they are fun to enthuse with. Also, during your operation, they let you watch Netflix, as loud as you want, so your visit can be as relaxed as possible. I've been here a few times now and I feel super grateful to have met them. Dentists like Dr. Chris show that it IS possible to like your dentist! Haha. Thanks, Dr. Chris and Serena. read more

I can not rave enough about Smile Moderne! Dr. Chris and Serena are both amazing! They are so gentle ,kind and most importantly welcoming. You'll feel right at home the second you step foot in their office. read more

My family has been going to Smile Moderne for a year now and they have been our best dentist experience so far which is saying a lot because we've moved a lot in the last few years. Great service and quality care for all of us. They're a great team! read more

Smile Moderne is one of the rare medical offices that GENUINELY deserves 5 stars. I do not say that lightly. Dr. Chris and Serena there at the office are some of the best, most kind-hearted people I've ever met. They instantly make you feel at ease and even if you aren't an ardent Disney fan, such as myself, they have created an amazing space of whimsy and beauty there. Tasteful decorations and classy atmosphere, with an amazing sense of fun. That's the best way I can describe the office. I have never been a huge fan of dental work, but I always look forward to going there and speaking with them, talking about all things Disney and life and getting my teeth worked on! Dr. Chris made thoughtful and insightful recommendations for me and my family's dental care and I would absolutely encourage anyone who is worried about trips to the dentist to come straight here. You'll be well taken care of, I guarantee it. read more

The nicest people you can work with. His wife runs the office and Dr Chris does your teeth! Takes time on your teeth, thoroughly explains any procedures you are getting. A great experience every time. read more

I cannot express how wonderful Dr. Chris and Serena are. On your initial patient intake form, they address any and all fears, traumas, and anxieties you would associate with going to the dentist to ensure you always feel safe and secure in their office. The Disney atmosphere of the office puts you entirely at ease and adds to that touch of safety you feel in their hands. They are patient, and Dr. Chris and Serena are incredibly gentle and very welcoming. I used to dread going to the Dentist, but Dr. Chris and Serena have ensured those fears have been alleviated. read more

There's not enough positive things to say about Dr. Chris and Serena. I've been searching for a dentist for a long time and I'm so glad I found Smile Moderne! The office is impeccable but Serena and Dr. Chris are the kindest people you'll ever meet. Going to the dentist isnt normally pleasant but they make it easy and stress free. Serena's cheerful attitude and ability to explain insurance coverage removes so much stress from the patient. She knows her stuff!!! Dr. Chris is gentle and thorough and is very good about explaining everything before beginning. I wish every doctors visit felt as friendly and fun as my visits here! 10/10 recommend this place to everyone!! They are amazing!!! read more

6 years and counting!!! Absolutely fantastic experience with my amazing dentist Dr. Chris. We have always felt welcomed and cared for. The office is impeccably clean, and Dr. Chris and Serena are incredibly friendly. They are gentle and attentive, making sure I was comfortable throughout the entire visit. They truly treat you like family here. I highly recommend this dental practice to anyone looking for top-notch care! read more

We LOVE Smile Moderne! It's so awesome that they can provide painless, high-quality treatment for the whole family. Dr Chris and Serena are so patient, caring and friendly. Serena explains all charges (covered and not covered by insurance) upfront, so you know just what to expect. Dr Chris has an amazing bedside manner and is so great with kids and adults alike. My kids call him the Disney dentist. :) I honestly can't say enough good things about Smile Moderne! And you know this is a good place when my husband (who had refused to go to the dentist for over 9 years) actually agreed to let me set him up an appointment after seeing them and is now excited to back for his next ap! read more

Ok, this review is so long overdue it's not even funny. I've been a patient at Smile Moderne for a year now and it is honestly the best dentist I could have ever picked. Whenever you move, finding new everything can be so stressful and overwhelming and can feel like you are shooting in the dark. I got extremely lucky that I found Dr. Chris and Smile Moderne on Instagram through a Disney profile I followed. I mean what's cooler than a Disney dentist? *NOTHING* I contacted them through Instagram and I was so relived when they responded because they were so nice and genuine and excited that I was even interested in becoming a patient. When I arrived for my first appointment, they were all so welcoming and sincere in wanting to get to know me (and my teeth of course). Since my first visit, I have been lucky to have multiple visit that continue to prove that I made the right decision by becoming a patient. I've always loved going to the dentist but Smile Moderne as taken it to the next level. Again, Dr. Chris is a great dentist full of wisdom about dental care. Serena has been the best with helping me understand my insurance, scheduling (even last minute squeezing me in). Amazing dental knowledge explained in a way you can understand, the most visually pleasing office, the best team, unmatched service, and...Disney+ during your visit. I mean, what more could you want? If you still need a reason to become a patient, just make an appointment to experience it all yourself, you won't regret it, I promise. Oh and try and green apple flavored mouthwash, it's bomb! read more

Dr. Chris and Serena are absolutely amazing. They are both very professional and pleasant. I can't say enough positive things about them:) Dr. Chris helped me with Invisalign and he resolved my issues when other dental facilities said it wouldn't work for me. It's been a great experience! read more

Highly recommend Smile Moderne. I suffer from general anxiety disorder and naturally, a visit to the dentist terrified me. So glad to be able to put that in past tense because Dr. Chris and Serena have absolutely eased all of my fears. They are caring, thoughtful, and extremely gentle. Their love of Disney is the icing on the cake AND the cherry on top. If you are nervous and have been putting off a visit to the dentist, call Serena and your fears will also melt away right from the start. Thanks, Dr. Chris and Serena! read more

A spa-like experience. I loved that the doctor didn't try to sell me on services and issues (which everyone should be wary of). They let me choose my entertainment of choice on TV and helped me feel like I was with two friends. Not cheap, but I liked the low-volume experience. Thank you Dr Chris and Serena! read more

I have always hated the dentist. It's why i haven't been in two years! But my Boyfriend and I needed a dentist and had just moved in the area, so I went with word of mouth as my guiding light to find a dentist. And I found smile moderne! What an amazing place and what amazing staff (Aka the Dr. and his wonderful/caring/competent partner)! I felt taken care of, professional and personally. They are hip, the office is clean and the service is impeccable. I couldn't recommend this dentist office more! read more

Smile Moderne makes me look forward to going to the dentist! From the moment you walk in, Dr. Chris and Serena make you feel comfortable and welcomed. They make your experience personal and always go above and beyond. Dr. Chris is very knowledgeable and will take the time to throughly answer any questions you may have. The office is state of the art, modern and clean. I cannot speak highly of this place enough! Truly the best office and dental experience! read more

Overall great dental experience. I highly recommend. I am so pleased to have found Smile

I had my first appointment at Smile Moderne today and it definitely won't be my last! Dr. Chris and Serena are an awesome husband and wife team who are easy to talk to and their office is super clean and modern. They offer water, sparkling water, and juice while you wait, which is just one of the little things I noticed that make their office a step above many others I have been to in the past. I just needed a regular cleaning and Dr. Chris did an amazing job while giving me insight into what he was doing and teaching me about the process. You also have the option to watch anything on Netflix or Disney + while in the room. He went over my x-rays with me on the screen in front of the chair which was super interesting to see and I hadn't had a dentist do that before. I can tell he is super honest with services he recommends and very transparent with the pricing of any services upfront which are qualities I definitely look for in a dentist. Dr. Chris gave thorough recommendations and answers for all the questions I had. If you are looking for a new dentist, go here, you definitely won't regret it! Thank you Dr. Chris and Serena!! read more

I'm so glad I found Smile Moderne! It's perfect for me, I was so nervous b/c I haven't been to the dentist since high school and finally got my own dental insurance this year. 1000% recommend! Serena is the warmest, friendliest, most patient soul I have ever met in a dentists/doctors office I love how they walked me through a breakdown of what to expect for my first visit, what will be covered under my insurance, time estimates, already preparing for my next 6 month cleaning, etc. Being able to go through their new patient forms and costs before the actual appointment date was chefs kiss, I love it. I get so worked up and anxious over being prepared for stuff and being able to have everything beforehand helped so much. We chatted about movies and she was so sweet, it was so reassuring. Dr. Chris is wonderful too! Any questions, whether about my own teeth or dental hygiene in general, were given equal consideration. I really appreciate his attention to detail and how he too was willing to walk through each step, ask for my opinion, and make sure I was comfortable the whole time. I am so relieved that there was no dental shaming at all! I remember going to the dentist before as a teen and them making little quips like "could been flossing a bit more, but well, ate least you're here now" or "why don't you get whitening, your smile could be less yellow" or "oh that poor tooth". I was preparing myself for stuff like that or a $1000 bill, but it couldn't have gone smoother! Having the option of watching shows on the screen while they clean your teeth was super nice too, I always run around in my mind "where should I look? What if I make eye contact? Is closing my eyes rude? Is avoiding eye contact more rude?" And then having separate baskets for any purses or bags and your mask is so considerate. Seriously, I'm recommending them to everyone I know, Smile Moderne thank you so so much! Teeth are feeling fresh!! read more

My search is FINALLY OVER! Finding the right dentist for me was not an easy task. I'm someone who has sensitive teeth. With my previous dentist he disregarded this note, which made my cleaning a little unpleasant. Those who have sensitive teeth know what I'm talking about. So I finally decided to do some research and looked for another dentist. That's where I stumbled upon Dr. Chris's Disney Instagram account. Since I love Disney I was willing to drive from Riverside to Laguna Niguel. From entering the office it was breathtaking! I felt like I was in a dental spa. It's bright and welcoming. Serena who works in the front is so friendly. their assistant Brenda is super gentle when taking x-rays. she makes sure you're comfortable and offers you Disney+ to watch on the tv. Dr. Chris listened to my concerns and made notes on which tooth I had sensitivity. I knew he listened is because I've been a patient of theirs for a year now. And each time I get my cleaning Dr. Chris already knows which tooth needs the hand scaling. I love how everything is so clean and he uses the latest technology. Best dentist and it's worth the drive every time! Also it's an excuse to go to the OC area. And they sell Rise Well which is the best toothpaste I ever tried save read more

After having not visited the dentist in years, I started shopping around the South Orange County area for someone local we could go to. I went to All Smiles in Laguna Niguel and Walnut Dental in Irvine before finding Dr. Chris and Serena at Smile Moderne, and I couldn't be more excited! Originally I had scheduled my appointment online, but after communicating with Serena via text, and requesting an earlier appointment she was able to reschedule my cleaning within approximately a week of my request. Not only was the communication prompt and positive, it was also helpful in that Serena was able to reach out to my previous dentists for my records, and confirm through my insurance information that I was covered - absolutely amazing! I was actually looking forward to my appointment, and I must say that the in-person experience did not disappoint!! For those unsure of visiting the dentist in general or due to COVID, I am excited to say that here your appointment time is your own. You are one-on-one with Dr. Chris, and Serena (or Dr. Serena, a caring professional in her own right!) She will do everything in her power to make you feel comfortable, and Dr. Chris compliments her efforts with his kindness and gentle touch. They have thought of everything from a bin for your purse and mask, and Disney+ entertainment! Thank you both so much for everything!! read more

Could not be more happier with this Dentist! After a traumatic experience at another practice, my son was TERRIFIED of Dentists but Dr. Chris was so patient and super informative that, it kept my son's mind at ease. He gave my son his undivided attention. Serena is one of the nicest people I've ever met! She was so transparent about their process and let us know exactly what to expect before our first visit. I highly recommend this Dentist. They are friendly, professional and well, just COOL! My son can't wait to go back and Ive been telling all my friends about them read more
