Azalea, Francee, and Liza are all super amazing people--kind, professional, and genuinely caring. Dr. Khemani is absolutely incredible. I have anxiety about going to the dentist, but Dr. Khemani's touch was so soft and gentle that I almost fell asleep in the chair! I never thought I'd say that about a dental visit. And the cherry on top--I met one of their amazing patients while leaving the office, and they couldn't stop saying great things about the staff either. That really says a lot! They even have amazing patients here. This office truly goes above and beyond to make patients feel at ease. I'm so grateful for the experience and couldn't recommend them more. If you're nervous about the dentist, this is the place to go!

I showed up for the appointment today, and the receptionist told me there was no record of it. Not just for today--there was no appointment under my name at all. Clearly something went wrong on their end. They apologized and asked if I could come back at 10:30, but my schedule is packed with meetings and I can't rearrange things on the spot. I understand mistakes happen, but as a first impression, this wasn't great. I needed reliability, and they couldn't deliver it. I'll be looking for another office that's better organized.

When we came the next morning, Shirley was super nice and helpful and got our paperwork all taken care of. Then Dr Lai did a checkup and a round of x-rays. He confirmed it was an abscess tooth and offered to drain it to relieve the pain. Then he gave us an antibiotic prescription to have the infection treated asap and gave a referral to a specialist nearby to do a root canal. He also sent a thorough email diagnosis with the X-rays to my friend's email and a copy to his own dentist. So professional and thorough! And since my friend's insurance wasn't going to cover this and we had to pay ourselves, they gave us a special discount which was very reasonable for all the work Dr Lai did! We loved this whole experience and I'm even switching my dentist to Dr Lai now!

I got a text a couple days later asking if I was available for a closer date, which worked out well for me. As anxious as I was about getting teeth removed, Dr. Kat made me feel comfortable and ensured I was numb every step of the way. Everything went smoothly, I didn't feel a thing.

I will be coming here from now on and no longer dread my dentist appointments! I also have TMJ, and Dr. Young immediately gave me a referral to see a specialist. They are all incredibly kind.

Kyla and Dr. Yuen made me feel so comfortable and at ease. The procedure went by so quickly and I felt no pain, which really surprised me. They were very reassuring the whole time.

I previously had some pretty traumatic experiences from a prior dental experience at another dentistry, and I knew a lot of my anxiety was coming from that specific experience along with a few sensory sensitivities I had. Thankfully, my journey here has been amazing, and such a healing journey emotionally and physically! Initially I was going to need a root canal but after seeing that there was a more conservative route we can take to preserve my tooth, a different plan was recommended for me. I also got 2 silver fillings replaced where they had cracked & needed adjustment.I love the subtle cosmetic enhancement it gives my smile while also protecting my teeth. From red light therapy to ozone injections, I was impressed with how much 1:1 attention, care, and intentionality went into my health plan. They don't see you as a one size fits all, they take their time to understand the problem and see what the options are. Their transparency, honesty, and genuine patient care manner was such a breath of fresh air. my husband and I were relieved we found a dental provider who listened & took the time to give us a thorough understanding of what our teeth needed. Even when I mentioned I was nervous, Dr. Mark took the time to ask me what made me nervous, gave me reassurance before starting any work and that alone helped me leave feeling lighter. For my sensory sensitivities, I did bring my headphones to listen to music but they also gave the cutest menu where you can select items to make you more comfortable so I chose a lap pillow lol. All of the assistants were amazing & so sweet, very professional & kind. The receptionists were also very professional, very thorough explaining invoices & procedures. Office is very clean, they made my crown the same day-amazing! There is a parking lot with plenty of space. Great location too, easy to find.

I was there in December to do a deep cleaning. After it was done I came outside and made an appointment with a patient coordinator. At that time, a lady behind the counter said my co-pay will be $35 for next appointment. I went there yesterday another lady said my co-pay is $75. I told the lady no it should be $35. She checked again and OK you pay $45 then. Why do I have a feeling that she trying to rip me off. See the attached picture. It clearly says estimated patient, $45. After everything was done yesterday,Dr. Nam told the assistant to make an appointment for consultation for implant and extraction . Also the cost for everything The assistant and I look at the computer screen and I told her I wanted to come in end the March. She said OK that would be fine we have plenty of spot. She hand wrote it on the chart and gave it to patient coordinator. Since they have a lot of stuff to input instead of waiting she said she will send me an email. When I call today to check the status of the email, a lady named Catherine said it could take up to 72 hours. But I'm wondering if I just waited behind the counter I could've got everything done on the same day. She also said there is an appointment for teeth cleaning. They made an appointment without asking me which day or time I wanted to come in. Not good. Other than that, I feel that the dentists are genuinely care about you and professional.

This was the second time that I came to smile dentistry but the first time that I had Dr. Aditi Mehndiratta. She started by checking my gums, looking for cavities, and asking about flossing habits. She spent about 5 minutes doing all that and then wrapped up by asking me about my concerns. I told her about my TMJ clicking and if braces were a recommended solution to attempt to realign my jaw. She dismissed it and said that a mouth guard would be better but didn't explain how. Left after reminding me to floss more often and then said that someone would talk to me more about the mouth guard later. Afterwards, the hygienist started. Unfortunately, I did not catch her name. She polished my teeth in a rush. So much so that the polishing tool that she was using had to be adjusted twice. She also ended up brushing a part of my lip and making the polishing tool vibrate on my teeth while trying to polish my molars. Once she was finished polishing my teeth and rinsing them off, she used floss. The proper way that I learned how to floss is that you pull the floss under the gums and against the sides so that you get everything out. The hygienist just forced floss between my teeth and she missed a quarter of them. Just got the floss between my teeth enough but didn't reach gum. She ran out pretty quickly so a third person, who I believe is the receptionist, could talk to me about the mouth guard. The receptionist let me know that the mouth guard is not covered under my insurance so it should be around $1,500 but that they would discount it for whatever reason to a little over $350. Didn't end up going for the mouth guard as I didn't feel that I had enough information to fee that it would help. I inquired about the rushed cleaning since both the doctor and the hygienist left in such a hurry. Was told that the dental office is a double speciality. No other explanation. This is the first time that I have left a dental cleaning feeling as though I could have done a better job at home. I don't believe that it is an unreasonable expectation that a good dental cleaning should take more than 10 minutes. I will not be returning.
