Omg this place is awful! The dentist is Awful!!!! Stay away from this place. They will waste your time and money

I called a few times to make an appointment. No one answered the phone or returned my calls. Who needs this? Took my business elsewhere

Dr. Julius is amazing! I am terrified of going to dentists. I don't like going, but Dr. Julius has such a calming energy that I felt more at ease. She has modern technology that makes cleaning and scans painless and fast. Plus her office is very cute and comfortable. I enjoy being able to watch TV while waiting as well as when she's working on my teeth. read more

They could improve their customer service, pricing, return calls, and keep their word to their patients.

Dr Julius is the best. I was her patient when she was at another facility and when I heard that she left, I followed her to Applemint. Dr Julius and the staff are amazing. I love walking into a facility where they know who I am and call me by name. I am a complete baby when it comes to my teeth and dental work but I don't mind going to Dr Julius because I know that there will be NO PAIN. She is very patient and understanding with all of her timid patients. I love APPLEMINT DENTAL SPA. read more

When I went to Applemint for a cleaning September 22nd, I sent Dr Julius my x-rays from my previous dentist. She said they weren't a complete set of my full mouth and insisted on x-raying my entire mouth even though i said I do not want or need more x-rays. My mouth is very small and is very difficult to get all of my teeth x-rayed. I told her I need her to send the x-rays to me and she said she would. She did not. November 11th, I began emailing and calling several times requesting my x-rays. I still have not received them. I have spent a ridiculous amount of time asking for my x-rays. When I called today she told me she needs me to send her a copy of my ID, even though I gave her my ID and it was copied back in September. It is extremely concerning and disrespectful to tell me I will get what I need, then ignore my requests. read more

Terrible service. They do not respect your time. Communication is atrocious unless you threaten to cancel

I had an extremely negative experience with Dr. Helene Julius at Applemint Dental. On August 15, 2025, I paid her $6,676.44 for gold crowns. She told me the process would take about two weeks, but after six weeks, no model has been started and no crowns have been fabricated. Despite repeated calls, she either ignored me or said she was "too busy," or hung up in my face multiple times, my treatment remains incomplete and I am unable to chew on the right side of my mouth. Dr. Julius also asked me to print resin dental models for her so she could upsell patients on Invisalign but did not intend to compensate me for this work. When I declined to continue without proper pay, she later purchased her own 3D printer and had me train her staff without offering compensation. This experience has been stressful, expensive, and unprofessional. I am now pursuing formal complaints with the Dental Board of California and the Better Business Bureau (BBB). I strongly recommend exercising caution before seeking treatment at this office. read more

I try to review as objectively as possible so I will first comment on the positive aspects of my experience before I recount the hellish nightmare that is Applemint Dental. Dr Julius is very warm and charismatic- she wants her patients to feel better about themselves when they leave her office, and you do. She has a gift. It's one of the reasons you remain a client despite her and the studio's utter incompetence. After a couple of cleanings, I decided to start my Invisaligns journey with Dr. Julius. I went through the scanning process and made my appointment to pick up my first Invisalign tray. Not once, not twice, but three times I showed up for appointments and was told, upon arrival, that my first Invisalign tray had not arrived. I was never phoned, and when I called to confirm they had arrived after my second failed appointment, no one called back or returned my messages. The fourth time, I came in with my sense of humor surprisingly still in tact and said "I think there's about a 10% chance they're here...are they?" I was then taken into a room and informed that my Invisaligns had been sent home with the wrong patient earlier that day. When I finally did receive the first tray, it was unwrapped and free floating (and potentially in someone else's mouth earlier that week- yum). If you think wow, it can't get worse, it does. We're making a slow descent into hell but we have a few stops on the way down. After I received my first tray (only one), I had a vacation planned. Dr Julius knew about this trip and told me to come in as soon as I was home to receive my second tray. Because I would be out of the country, she told me I could text her to arrange an appointment. A week before I got home, I texted her multiple times with no response. When I got home, I called her. She finally responded and said it was the holidays so she wasn't using her phone for work, and I could come in for an appointment in 4 weeks. I'm not even kidding. I begged to come in sooner. She said she'd try to find an earlier appointment and call me back. But this is Dr. Julius of Applemint Dental, so she did not call me back. When I went to my scheduled appt 4 weeks later, I informed her that my first tray had broken a few days earlier. She said "well yes, you're really only supposed to have them in for 2-3 weeks max." Haha. This still makes me laugh. I sat down to put in my second tray, but it wouldn't fit into my mouth. We managed to get the bottom one in and then it took us 45 mins to remove it using several tools. The trays were just too tight. She then told me my teeth had moved "too much" and I'd have other trays delivered to my house the next day. I was not scanned again, so I didn't understand how I would receive trays that magically fit when this one had not. They of course did not arrive. I received a text from Dr. Julius 3 days later saying she would personally pick them up if they didn't show by the next day. They did not, she did not, and I stopped hearing from her. When I called for a refund after more than a week of no response, she said that she'd have her manager email me that day to go over my refund. 2 weeks later and with no contact from the office, I ultimately had to call my credit card company and ask that the charge (from months prior) be reversed and they agreed immediately. I should mention that my first and only tray did not have the Invisalign logo or any marking on it which I've learned after researching means it was not the Invisalign brand I was promised. Wild. Dr Julius is not only incompetent but deceitful. She's one of those people who uses charm to cooly exit uncomfortable situations. She'll apologize, make you feel important, and tell you exactly what you want to hear, even if she has no intention of following through. It's an art form, really, and she should hand out lessons. That's all from me- this was long but so was my completely fruitless experience with this studio. Just don't do it. Also, notice how many of the good reviews include photos of clients posing with Dr. Julius. They almost surely received discounts in exchange for their reviews but I doubt they were big enough. read more

My first visit to Applemint was an amazing experience that I can only describe as, "Amazing". I hadn't seen a dentist in years and from the time I entered until I left, I was impressed by how clean and modern everything was. Dr. Julius put me at ease and reassured me that I was in good hands and she was right. She explained everything in detail in a way that made me understand the importance of regular oral exams. I felt as I truly were in a spa. The relaxing music, the blissful scenes on the monitor, and purity of the air put me into a Zen-Like zone. It relaxed me and I never experienced one bit of pain. Dr. Julius thank you for a wonderful experience... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND APPLEMINT DENTAL SPA read more

Great dentist! I loved how thorough my cleaning was, and that they also suggest holistic modalities as well. I'll be back!

PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COSTS UNLESS YOU WANT TO PAY THOUSANDS FOR TERRIBLE WORK Wow where to even start with this. I went to Apple Mint for a simple cleaning and cavity fill and what ensued was months of pain and extra costs. I went in September 2024 and had a scheduled appointment with Dr. Julius but I guess she was busy or something and instead (her apprentice?) Dr. Boyce did my cleaning and filling. Lets start off with the absolutely ridiculous costs. I have pretty decent insurance and for their "premium clean" they charged me $800 and then they wanted to have me pay for pearl fillings which would cost somewhere upwards to $4000. I said no and they offered regular composite fillings for $400. At this point I should have just left but was desperate to have the procedure completed. They worked on my teeth and did two out of three fillings plus the cleaning. All good I thought. Well, I completed the last filling the next week but had some pretty serious tooth aches. They told me this was pretty normal and the pain should go away in a few weeks. Nope. For a month I could not drink anything cold without extreme pain. I went in for a check up and Dr. Julius finally saw me. She told me that the reason my tooth hurt was because of the cheaper composite fillings and that she could do the premium fillings to clear up the pain. I told her no as I couldn't cover those costs and she recommended me to WORK FOR HER in order to get a discount. So now my teeth are worse off than when I even started. Not to mention my bottom retainer had the glue dissolved during the cleaning so now thats a problem as well. Finally, I decided to go to another dentists for a second opinion. I requested them to send over xrays (which they never did) and the second dentist said that those fillings would do nothing and that I needed a root canal. Great, $1000+ dollars out and I need a second more extreme procedure. $900 there to fix Apple Mint's terrible work. I might even need a THIRD procedure which would be another $900 and a second dead tooth. Not to mention the messed up retainer which I haven't even started to get fixed Please please please avoid this place. They are a scam and do absolutely terrible work. It is three months later and I am still dealing with their fuck ups and probably have a few months of pain and costs left. read more

Annual check up and as usual Dr. Julius and her staff were wonderful. Great office environment and received vitamins for my teeth for the first time. Thank you ladies for keeping my Teeth in great shape. read more

Stay away from Dr Julius she will lie about anything when it comes to money she has literally told my dental business to a friend who picked me up slandered my name and is constantly changing things to line her own pockets with cash which is sad because there are some really great dentists in that office but she isn't one of them and on the reviews she has friends and family along with her assistant to do reviews for her any negative reviews need to be just not on yelp but also on their page to help others. I couldn't change my treatment plan if I wanted to after one of the assistants broke my tooth doing something Dr Julius asked her to do for me I will be glad when this is over thank god my layers had literally been having me document everything read more

Dr. Caroline Malakuti at Applemint Dental is a thorough, careful, and very professional dentist! We followed her to Applemjnt from her previous location and so glad we did. She addressed all our dental issues and concerns in a timely and consistent manner, and her staff is very helpful and responsive in scheduling and all other needs. read more

My experience was amazing here from the moment I walked in I was greeted by a warm, friendly, and radiant smile from the reception Danica, whom took good care of me during my time there from taking pictures of my teeth, explaining everything as we go and by supporting Dr. Julius during my check up and cleaning to the very end. Talking about Dr. Julius, she was amazing as well, she was friendly and welcoming which made me feel comfortable under her care, she took very good care of my teeth from the cleaning to explaining step by step as we go about my teeth and what she can provide to getting to where I want my smile to be. Thank you Applemint dental spa for my incredible first time experience! Very recommended spot to check out! read more

Had such an amazing experience here! Made appointments for myself and 2 daughters who are 13 and 8. We all had the best experience we've ever had at a dental office. To start off the office is gorgeous and very clean! The staff were so sweet and made us feel welcomed. Dr. Julius is the SWEETEST and made us all feel very welcomed. Highly recommend! read more

if i could leave zero stars i would . I can't believe i trusted someone like Dr. Julius to work on my mouth . i had a tooth extracted but instead of extracting the whole tooth she left a broken piece inside to tell me months later that it was a small piece left and had to come out and wanted to charge me a extra $400. The work she performs is very cheap i had a bridge done by her and it would break constantly. Dr. Julius and another unlicensed assistant installed my braces my wire would pop off constantly even when i only ate soft foods. I went to another dentist to have it fixed when they told me my braces was done incorrectly i told Dr. Julius right away but she didn't fix the problem I even let her listen to a video the other dentist office made telling her was was done incorrectly. The problem was never fixed i had to go to a different office and have them remove everything and start over after i paid Dr. Julius $1800.00 up front. Instead of fixing the Problem all she did was request more money just to fix the braces after she installed them incorrectly. every time i would go the price would go up and i would need more work so instead i went to get a second opinion and thats when i found out the work she did was incorrect and she was basically trying to scam me out of money . i didn't want to receive services from her one day and she said "if it was a designer bag you would buy it. " that comment was kinda offensive coming from my Dr. Every time i left the dentist i would be in more pain and have to go right back so she can attempt to fix the same tooth again. Very nice lady in the beginning to lure you in but once your in she does a complete 360 . My last time there she started an argument about more money for treatments she made up i feel like I've been scammed out of my money . I took out the time to write this review so no one else have to deal with this office scams and malpractice work i don't think anyone in there need a license . read more

I had an amazing experience getting Invisalign with Helene. She transformed my smile and I couldn't be happier!

We followed our dentist to this wonderful place. Our dentist was already good at what she does: practically painless and beautiful work. Now she's in a place (Applemint)that addresses the whole self. If you look good , but don't feel good, and vise-versa, what does it matter? This is a place to come a finally get taken care of. Thank you to Dr. Julius and the rest of Applemint. read more

Beware!!! I went to Applemint and was suckered into Dr. Julius act. trusting and believing her very believable caring and cunning act she preforms quite well. If you want someone to take $8000.00 from you and leave you with needing root canals, pain, and infection this is the place to go. She was very dismissive when I would try and explain the pain I was feeling, after she was on a call while drilling in my mouth. I finally had to go pay for a second opinion to a dental office she referred me to and she stated she have been referring to this office for 15years. I went for the second opinion and once the endodontist confirmed every tooth Dr. Julius touched needed a root canal she then told me to get a third opinion. Dr. Julius is very good at stalling and making excuses. I have caught her in so many lies it's quite scary. I will be seeing Dr. Julius in court soon, but I wanted to save someone of being Dr. Julius next victim. read more

I have received the best care at this dentist, they cleaned every evil out of my teeth that was haunting me for years!! The energy that the dentist gave was very welcoming and very homey for me, very humble service m!!! i highly recommend many to come here and get their teeth done!! read more

If I could give this place negative stars : I would . I don't know what type of practice this place is but waiting for hours to just be told my trays aren't in multiple times on top of My treatment plan prices changing every other time when going in..... annnnd to add insult to injury this "Dentist" has had me waiting for hours while getting her hair cut in the office ! I don't know how sanitary that is but I don't appreciate that at all. Helen prides herself in saying she takes special care in clients . Bullshit ! No one in that office knows what they're doing and I highly doubt anyone is actually licensed in that place . If you want your mouth worst than what you started with : this is the place to be ! read more

Dr Julius is so caring and patient. I hate the dentist and have always had a fear. With her I can literally kick my shoes off and relax knowing she'll take care of me! The office is up to date with technology and very clean. read more
