I can confidently say it's one of the best healthcare experiences I've had. I came in for a cleaning and a filling, and as someone who's always had dental anxiety, I was honestly nervous going in. But the entire team completely changed that for me. They are incredibly friendly, patient, and genuinely take the time to make you feel comfortable--never rushed, never judged. They explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and checked in throughout the procedure, which made a huge difference. For the first time, I can say my dental fears are basically gone. If you're someone who dreads going to the dentist, this is absolutely the place to go.

Cheers to the Dentist of Bixby Knolls family!

Check your bills closely--this office is pocketing FALSE fees…read more I liked this place for their service, but they have repeatedly tried to overcharge us. Both my husband and I were asked to pay a $50 insurence "deposit" before standard cleanings. I have never been charged this so I contacted Delta Dental who explicitly confirmed to me that this is against their policy. Cleaning are always free - you should only pay deposits for other extra services after you get them. They also sneak in a $25 fluoride treatment without permission (which isn't covered by adult insurance). Fluoride is a treatment that legally requires patient permission. Even after explicitly declining it for my second visit and having it noted on my chart, they still billed me for it. Getting my refunds took weeks of annoying phone calls. On top of that, they never honored a promised $50 referral bonus, ghosting me whenever I brought it up. I won't be returning; a patient shouldn't have to constantly police their dentist's shady billing tactics.

I followed the prompt it gave me when I called, and it went exactly how it said it would. They got me in the same week as a new patient, handled my cleaning, and fixed my permanent retainer all in one visit. I'm very particular about quality of service and my teeth in general, and it showed right away that the entire staff took the time to review my information and make the experience feel personal, not rushed or pressed for upsells. It was an incredibly warm experience. Customer service was excellent. The team was efficient, took care of everything I needed, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. Extra star for having chapstick on hand. My lips usually dry out fast during appointments, so that small detail was the icing on the cake. I walked out with clean teeth, my retainer fixed, and hydrated lips. Highly recommend this office if you want an independent dentist that really cares about their patients.

I took the chance on calling the office, though it was 6:57PM, thinking I would get the Answering Service or voicemail. Was I ever thrilled when Desireé actually answered after I held a bit! She was able to make an appointment the next morning at 11:30AM with my dentist!! WHAT A RELIEF!! I was VERY happy that Dr. Robert Nochez and Long Beach Smiles Dentistry was able to fit me in on such short notice the very next day! It ended up being a root canal and a crown because of the vertical cracking of the tooth but at least it wasn't an implant!! And this is even crazier, the next week, a crown I have had for many years feel out in the sink I the morning while I was water flossing! I figured it would be no big deal and they could just re-cement it but nope--there was decay next to the gum and they had to clean it up and I needed another crown since the margins no longer match. Again, it was great that they were able to fit me in when I called that morning; and with my doctor, once again! Tracy was so great, so empathetic and we worked out a time of 11:00AM which fit with another doctor appointment! Thank you, Long Beach Smiles Dentistry!

BEWARE OF LONG BEACH SMILES at 5533 Stearns Street in Long Beach!!!…read more They are committing insurance fraud and defrauding their customers as well. They not only overcharged me for services that were capped by my insurance but their mismanagement of my account with a secondary lender caused my credit rating to plummet. If you have an HMO Dental Plan, they are prohibited from charging anything over the "Maximum Allowable Charges" that are set by their "capitation" agreement with the insurance company. I was overcharged by $3,388 for dental work and only found out because I spoke with the insurance company the OTHER time they tried to overcharge me. I only found out after demanding itemized receipts and comparing them with the fees on the Delta Dental website. Besides the issue with the outside lender, I have overpaid them $844.00 out of pocket and they refuse to pay the money back. I will be taking them to court but can only imagine how many more people they have done this to. If you have ever gone to Long Beach Smiles at 5555E. Stearns Street in Long Beach, please ask for your itemized receipts and compare them to the maximum allowable charges. Please contact me if you find anything. I believe that this could rise to the level of a class action. It can't just me me. Thanks, Kellie

I usually hate going to the dentist, but this doctor made the experience stress-free and was incredibly helpful and informative. I was in and out in less than 45 minutes, the office was clean and quiet, and he did not try to upsell me or shame me. In fact, he was very encouraging and supportive, and the cleaning was excellent. I will definitely be back and would probably drive lengthy distances for his services, should I end up leaving the great Long Beach area one day. Obviously, this was just a cleaning, so I can't speak to bigger procedures. Still, after just one visit, I feel that I have found my forever dental home and would absolutely trust him with larger issues in the future.

TLDR: This place takes advantage of people…read more I was told by two separate staff members that my insurance does not cover tooth-colored fillings for cavities at my first visit here. I just accepted this fact and paid what my bill said. After, I checked my insurance portal and the difference between what it said on my claim versus what they charged me was $349. I called an insurance agent to ask what went wrong, and he plainly stated that many dentists take advantage of people with HMO plans and that they should have known that the filling was covered by my insurance. However, he told me to give them the benefit of the doubt and try to get a refund directly from them. I called and told them my situation, and a staff member at West Coast said they would call me back about the issue. Shocker, they didn't! So I had to visit the office, get copies of my documents and scans, and file a grievance through my insurance. I finally got my refund, but DO NOT go here. I am young and have some free time to pursue these matters, but I can only imagine how many other vulnerable, busy, disadvantaged people they may have taken advantage of or lied to. Some of my emails throughout this ordeal say it is the patient's responsibility to know what their coverage is, and I get that to some extent, but it's plain knowledge that our healthcare system is broken. I expect my healthcare providers to be knowledgeable about insurance plans since that is their job. A $349 overcharge is unprofessional and disrespectful. On top of all that, the quality of my cavity fills aren't that great either.
