Walk-ins welcome

I was referred to this office because my previous dentist doesn't perform root canals, and I…read morehonestly couldn't be more grateful that I ended up here. From the moment I walked in, everyone was warm, welcoming, and professional. I was extremely nervous going into my appointment after a difficult experience elsewhere, but the entire team immediately put me at ease. The doctor was incredibly attentive, compassionate, and considerate throughout the entire procedure. He took the time to explain everything, made sure I was comfortable before starting, and checked on me throughout the root canal to make sure I wasn't in any pain. I never felt rushed, and I truly felt like my comfort was a priority. I never thought I'd say this, but my root canal was actually a great experience. It was painless, smooth, and far less intimidating than I expected. The level of care and empathy I received made such a difference. I came here expecting it to be a one-time visit, but after the experience I had, I've decided to transfer all of my general dental care to this office. That's how impressed I was. If you're looking for a dental office that genuinely cares about its patients and goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, I can't recommend this team enough.

I had a great experience with Smile Builder Dental and Dr. Myung Kee Park…read more After having braces with a different orthodontist just prior to my experience with Smile Builder, my teeth shifted again within a matter of weeks despite faithfully wearing my retainer. I wanted to correct the movement with clear aligners rather than going through braces again. After about a year of treatment, I couldn't be happier with the results. Looking back after experiencing both traditional braces and Invisalign, I believe Invisalign was the better choice for me. I also wish I had gone directly to Smile Builder Dental from the beginning. In hindsight, I feel it may have saved me time, discomfort, and expense. Most importantly, my experience here gave me confidence that I was receiving thoughtful, patient-centered care every step of the way. From my very first visit, everyone at Smile Builder Dental was welcoming, friendly, and professional. The entire team made every appointment a pleasant experience, and I always felt that they genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome. I documented my progress with weekly photos throughout treatment, and near the end I had questions about the position of one lower incisor. Dr. Park took the time to carefully review my concerns, explain why the final trays intentionally overcorrect rotation before the teeth naturally settle, and answer every question without ever making me feel rushed. I truly appreciated his patience, honesty, and conservative approach. It was clear that he was focused on achieving the best long-term result rather than simply finishing treatment as quickly as possible. The digital scanning process for my retainers was fast, comfortable, and seamless, and I left feeling confident that my smile was in great hands. I am truly grateful to Dr. Park and the entire Smile Builder Dental team for their exceptional care, professionalism, and attention to detail. Whether you're considering orthodontic treatment for the first time or need to correct teeth that have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment, I highly recommend Smile Builder Dental. Thank you, Dr. Park and the wonderful staff, for giving me a smile that I'm proud to keep for years to come.

Finally found a dental office "I LOVE!"

25 years of fear of the dentists taken away in 5 visits. 3 different Dentist saw me. First one…read moregave me assurance and no pressure to do more than necessary. 1st: Examined X-rays. Calmly told what was needed. Cleared up any uncertainties on current state of my teeth. Was able to take the time to explain my last dental visit (25) years ago and how my teeth health declined over the years - to the current condition it was in. I was not badgered, judged, ridiculed, or dismissed for my bad dental habits. I admit I eat sweets and don't rinse or brush in between meals, just in the morning and before sleep time. Explained what each visit would entail. Gave options on how to proceed. Ended with "No pressure. We will try our best to make it as easy as possible and hopefully you'll consider us". 2nd: It was communicated to the next doctor that I have a deathly fear of needles. I don't care what the rest of the world thinks. When seeing or even thinking of a needle, I imagine an unsteady hand stabbing it in the wrong place only to pull it out with blood gushing all over the place. Fortunately, this was understood by the doctor and I was able to get my deep cleaning without needles. The process was steady and not rushed. I was asked every step of the way if I wanted to proceed and how I was feeling. In the end I was sat down for a summary. I had time to ask as many questions as I needed. It was asked of me to check on my gum health for swelling or bleeding. They will follow up on next visit. 3rd: Gum health improved noticibly. Finished up last session with some light cleaning, no deep cleaning this time. Encourage me to keep using WaterPik floss machine and rinse my mouth with water in-between meals. Mentally helped me prepare for the next visit which would involve the infamous "needle"!! Oh boy. I dreaded this for the last 25 years. However, it had to be done since I needed 7 fillings, 1 new cap, 1 old cap replaced and possibly a root canal. I was also suffering nerve pain in my upper left side. Because a tooth was left thin and exposing too much gum. 4th: Right side fillings and preparation for a new cap. The Dentist this time asked politely if I would put my trust in them. I was asked to close my eyes and count slowly backward from 100. First they put on the numbing cream, no problem. My mouth was gently massaged as a small stream of cool water/air hit the spot of the injection. I believe this was to distract from the actual injection. Either way, I was extremely aware of all this as it was happening. By the time 95 was up I was asked "how did it go?". Honestly, it was still very scary for me. As for the pain, there was no pain! Unbelievable. 5th: Finished up filling on left side. I had a huge gap on the tooth that was giving me nerve pains. It was methodically filled in and cured layer by layer. That makes me feel like care was put into it. All other filling were also done on that side. Not sure how many fillings I had on which side. At this point I was just thrilled I got great treatment. Since I mentally prepared myself and already had a needle from the last treatment, it was such a relief to know I can now safely visit dentist again. I told the doctor, "It just feels like somebody poking you.". I thought there would be a really sharp pinch. The reality was it felt like a friend poking you with their fingernail. * If done properly, the needle should not hurt or even scare you. I'm sure I sounded like a broken record to them when I expressed my concerns. I can tell they communicated well with the previous doctors and already knew what kind of patient they were dealing with. I believe the entire staff is trained well and acts with professionalism. They treat their patients with respect and care for them. There are doctors who have worked there for over 20 years and still have pride in what they do. This place is not sloppy. It is the opposite. Some essential criteria all dental practices should have answers to: 1. Describe pain level during procedures. 2. Describe pain level after procedure and how to deal with it. 3. Explain how long it may take to recover from pain. 4. Recommend course of action to prevent repeat procedures. Eg. redo deep cleaning 5. Recommend absolute necessary procedures to maintain long health teeth vs optional procedures. Eg. Are fillings good enough or do you need " crown or cap" 6. With good dental hygiene vs bad hygiene, how long will your work last before I have to go back in to redo it. All these concerns and questions were met optimally. After checking with some Internet research, I praise this practice for giving no nonsense accurate answers. I hope you can sense from the tone and possible grammar inconsistency that it was not written with AI or using Grammarly. If you don't believe this to be authentic, feel free to message me and I will gladly share more.

Truly the best dental experience I've had! Dr. Akkari and his entire team took great care of me…read more I came in for an exam in expecting a procedure, but they made time to handle something time-sensitive and walked me through every step so I knew what to expect. I was blown away by the amount of communication and education, but also the compassion and care of the team. I was a little nervous and afraid to be honest, but they encouraged me, allowed me to take breaks when I needed, and really looked out for my wellbeing. Dr. Akkari prioritized my tooth and preserving it longterm over a quick or pricier fix. Thankful for this place.

Update: 6 years later and I still have had nothing but amazing experiences for my deep cleanings,…read more6-month routine check ups and filings. I just had 2 small cavities taken care of yesterday and I went in there with such ease knowing I was in good hands based on my previous experience with Dr. Akkari. Once again, the whole process was completely pain free and I was out of there in less than an hour (the procedure itself was at most 15 minutes). Also, I cant understand why there are a few negative reviews about their receptionists. Rita has always been super sweet & I can't remember the other ladies name but they have always been super polite and helpful with scheduling, rescheduling, checking in & helping me get a referral to an oral surgeon. And as always, his dental assistants are kind & gentle as well.
