RUDE service by the front desk woman. I was having a great day and was very happy and friendly and she acted towards me like she really had it in for me for some reason. I don't need to deal with people like that so strike one! Strike two- I waited 25 minutes before they called my name. What's the point of making an appointment? Strike three- They quoted me incorrectly after checking with my insurance first, they quoted me higher of course. Thank God I decided not to do the procedure and pay a higher amount. I went home and double-checked with my insurance company when I got home. I went here once, read many negative reviews and will not return. I live in Brea and have heard nothing but bad comments about this place. I should have done my homework before I wasted my time going here in the first place :( Word of caution- go somewhere else. read more

Great experience so far with my son's braces. The staff is very nice & EXTREMELY helpful!!

As I sat in the waiting room I browsed the reviews on yelp.....kind of backwards but a friend recommended them to me. All the paperwork is electronic so you can fill it out at your convenience, at home. The recptionist was pleasant, nothing great but nothing bad.....until I told her how uneasy I get at dentists offices. She then became really nice and definitely calmed my nerves a bit. I was taken back 10 minutes after my arrival. Got my eval and XRays done. They offered to do my cleaning and some dental work right then, if I wanted. The recptionist came back and talked to me about pricing, what insurance covers and what I would pay. They didn't try and upsell anything!!! I had Dr. Nguyen. He was great. No pain at all, even with the shots in my mouth. The assistant was nice and friendly. I got a full exam, full XRays, teeth cleaned and 3 fillings in a little over 90 minutes. They were efficient but did not rush. Definitely going back! read more

I am absolutely pleased with the dental and orthodontist care. All four of my children have had their orthodontist work performed in this office. The care from the moment you walk through the door is exceptional. Your greeted by the office staff by name and not a general hello. The dentist take their time to explain all procedures thoroughly and answer all questions fully. My children range from 11-17, and they all agree the best dentist ever. If you are looking for exceptional Dental care look no further read more

Five stars as this top group of professionals are amazing and genuine in their kindness which made my first dentist experience surprisingly enjoyable. I honestly can't wait for my follow up read more

I have been coming to this place for 12 years now and they do some great work! They let you know what they are going to do before they do it and are very good with feedback. My sister got her braces done here and her teeth are flawless now that she has them off. Mrs. Jackie and Mr. Peterson are great doctors and helped me with anything i needed while i was in a procedure. 10/10 would recommend to anyone with dental needs. read more

I found Brea Dental for braces for both of my sons. After seeing the great care and friendly staff, we moved all of our dental services to Brea Dental. There was a previous mention of up-sells in another review, but I politely say "No" and that is it. They have been trying to get me to replace a crown (cosmetic) for many years and it doesn't bother me. I really think that they care and want you to have the best possible dental experience. Love them! read more

I had a teeth cleaning by Jon yesterday, I was a little sad because Priscilla doesn't work there anymore. I have to tell you, Jon did an excellent job, and he gave me great recommendations.. Highly recommend Jon. read more

I have been coming to Brea Dental Group for almost 2 years now and I cannot tell you enough how amazing this place is. The staff here is absolutely amazing! The receptionist are the sweetest, considerate ladies ever. Debbie and Andrea always make sure I schedule my appointments when I leave and send me reminders when it is coming up. Lucy is an amazing dental assistant! Always very gentle and just very great at her job. And of course, the man in charge of my smile, Dr. Chiappone has been the greatest orthodontist I could have asked for. He cares a lot about what his patients want and does everything in his power to deliver. After a year and a half of wearing Invisalign, they are off today and I have so much to smile about. Thank you so much Brea Dental Group!! read more

Brea Dental Group - Best Dental Group! - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Brea, California

I have been going to Brea Dental Group for over 10 years. I won't go anywhere else. The staff is so friendly and they provide great service. I moved away from Brea 7 years ago and I still make the drive from Chino Hills. I highly recommend this place. read more

Thank you so much! I haven't been to the dentist in years and all of the sudden I had a terrible tooth ache. I feared the worst. I was referred to Dr. Whitworth and he saw me the same day. He made the visit quick and he was very thorough with his diagnosis. He offered me solutions and listened to my concerns. I did need to get my tooth pulled and he set it up for the next Saturday. I went in and had it pulled within a few minutes and was on my way. Great experience considering no one enjoys going to the dentist. -Shannon read more

I was so pleased with my visit. Let me clarify, I DO NOT enjoy going to the dentist. This place? Friendly, knowledgeable. Can't wait till my appointment. Thank you! read more

Brea Dental Group is great! The staff and dentists there are very knowledgeable and friendly, and the environment is clean and inviting.

After 15 years we've always received excellent care in a friendly environment equipped with the most recent technology and experienced professionals. Thanks for taking good care of us! read more

Super friendly, caring and gentle!! I haven't been to the dentist in...awhile! My last experience caused me so much anxiety I just stopped going. So when I felt a shooting pain in my mouth, I knew I had to go somewhere that cared and was understanding of my "issues." Now my boyfriend and I are going to be long time clients and eventually will have beautiful smiles for years to come!! If you're as nervous as I am/was, this is the place for you!! read more

Super awesome place! I have major dental anxiety anf the whole staff was very patient and gentle. I would definitely reccomend them to anybody who needs a little extra attention and care when going to the dentist. read more

Everyone here is incredibly kind & professional. I have always hated going to the dentist, but I have never had a bad experience here. I look forward to going in every 6 months. Recently I decided to also get Invisalign. They squeezed in my x-rays after my cleaning to get my aligners to me as soon as possible. Every experience here has been perfectly pleasant! read more

I was contacted by the dental office's client services manager, Andrea. She was able to assist me in getting a approval for a deep cleaning, provided me with a letter for my OB and all this happened in a matter of 2 weeks time. Not 7 weeks like the office manager initially told me. I'm so glad that there is staff there willing to make sure patients are getting the services they need. The last two times I've been in I will say that the receptionist has been very friendly at check in and very helpful. Thanks to Andrea and Pricilla I am comfortable with Brea Dental remaining my dental provider. read more

In reply to your comment Dr., I appreciate that you responded so quickly, however since July 2018 I have NEVER received a phone call or any communication from your office regarding my request. I had to call multiple times to find out was what was going on and the last time I was told I would get a call RIGHT BACK. Which did not happen. I actually came to conclusion that I was a patient you did not want to take on. I also fully understand that my insurance will only pay so much, but what I was asking is if the bridge could be done with materials that were of a lesser grade and not the highest grade materials that were in my quote. I was never given any other options. I didn't want this forum to be a bickering back-and-forth, but it has definitely opened my eyes to the fact that you should never take one quote without checking things out more thoroughly. I have since found a dentist I am extremely happy with them. They have not only provided me with excellent customer service from their ENTIRE staff, but provided the work/product at a reasonable cost. read more

The entire staff at Brea Dental Group is amazing! Our visits are always pleasant and there's never any pain. Dr. Jin is the absolute best and he's really good with my 12-year old, which really helps! Dr. Smolkin did my recent root canal and, seriously people, NO PAIN AT ALL! And it was super quick too! The hygienist, Priscilla, is also really good and super friendly, which is also nice for kids. We're getting ready to have Dr. Chiappone put braces on my son and I trust them completely! They take all kinds of insurance and the girls who work the front desk are all sorts of fantastic! Honestly, I would recommend them to anyone! Call them...seriously. You won't regret it! read more

I had been a patient of Brea Dental Group for about 4 years. Usually, they were friendly and were able to get work done in a reasonable amount of time. On a few occasions, they had overcharged me considerably; however, when I called my insurance and brought it to their attention, they reimbursed me the amount. I did not really think anything of it until I needed major dental work done. On more than one occasion, they left cement in my mouth after a dental procedure. The last time it happened, it wedged in my gums and caused a severe infection, pain, and swelling. I brought the piece that fell out back to the dentist and they acted as if they did not care at all. They did not even mention it in my electronic chart because they made a mistake. That is not something that I appreciate, especially since it was their fault. Once they put the final crown in, I had constant pain only in that tooth. I went back and they told me that nothing was wrong and that I should consult a neurologist. That is when I decided to switch dentists and never return. As said by the other reviewers, they do overcharge you. They constantly tell you that your teeth need this and that. When I started going to another dentist, they told me that they did not see any of the problems that Brea Dental Group were talking about. All I am trying to do here is voice my concerns about their dental group so no one else has to go through as much pain as I did. I feel like people need to know this before they pick this group as their primary dentist. I would not recommend them at all, not even to my enemies. read more

We've been to several dental offices here in the Brea area and can tell you that this is, by far, the BEST Dentists in the area, period. I just had two fillings done and this was the first time I almost fell asleep while they were working on me. We were taking my kids to another dentist office in downtown Brea and the kids hated going there. We took them to Brea Dental Group last year and they LOVED it there. To quote my kids: "This is the first Dentists that I can understand and they actually listen to me!" I've had work done by both Dr. Jin and Dr. Whitmorth and both are true masters in their job. If you need work done, stop looking around and give them a call. read more

This place used to be great, but they've gone downhill a lot in the past 5 years. I had been a loyal patient here for 10 years, but I'm cutting the cord and taking my teeth elsewhere. I have bad teeth genetics, and consequently have paid thousands on my teeth over the years. I take good care of my teeth and pride myself in that, but I can't fix my genetics. I have spent 1,000s of dollars here, with having excellent dental insurance the entire time. Looking back, I was overcharged tremendously. I've gotten numerous fillings over the years due to my bad genes, and I've spent tens of thousands of dollars. I thought the work I was getting was top of the line, so I was okay with spending that much. Friends and family members told me I was being ripped off, but I was sold on Brea Dental because they had treated me nicely. I always paid in cash and everything was fine. I got my veneers done here for $6,000, which is the standard cost anywhere, and they looked great. After being a patient here maybe 5 years, a new dentist came along. I saw him for a cleaning, and at first he said my hygiene looked great, which I knew. Then he came back with x-rays and insulted me, telling me how to brush and floss and that if I did those things I wouldn't have such bad cavities. I should have left then. I wish I did. But, I thought maybe he was having a bad day, called to complain, and told them never to schedule me with him. I also started needing more work done. I got Invisalign and paid that all up front. After that, my fillings needed to be deeper and there were more of them. I asked to be put on a payment plan. That was when I noticed things changed. I was being treated differently. I had paid cash for all my work I had done for a good 7 years, but when I asked to split up the payments, which was always an option that I hadn't taken before, they treated me like I was less important. It wasn't like I was a first timer. They were cold, not as friendly, and acted annoyed when I came in. Total judgment. I didn't leave then because I have a fear of getting someone who will completely mess up my teeth which I've worked so hard to maintain. The last straw was a few years ago. One of my veneers chipped and broke off completely. That happens. They are 10 years old and I had a hairline fracture in one that just gave way. The dentist got me in the next day, which was great! I brought in the tooth the chipped off. I was told back when I got the veneers that they keep my teeth on file so if I need them redone, they'll be the same size, shape, and everything. That was a big selling point 10 years ago. So, going in to get my veneer replaced, I assumed they would use my mold. They did take a mold of my teeth again, which I thought was standard. The dentist said he would make the new tooth a few shades darker to match the rest. I don't know how to do this stuff....just do your job right and I'm good! So, I had a temporary tooth on a few weeks, then my permanent tooth came in. Under the super bright lights, it looked like the color matched the rest. I said the shape looked different, but they assured me it looked great. I had a terrible migraine that day, so I went with it. I signed off on the tooth and they permanently put it on. I went home, slept off the headache, and when I woke up I was mortified. My new tooth was yellow, a totally different size and length from the others, and made it hard to talk because I had such a difference from the tooth next to it. This was not a 1,000 job. Where was the mold they were supposed to use? I went back to ask to have it redone. They got angry, and so did I. They said I signed off on the tooth and that they can't redo it. They made sure I knew they had my signature saying everything was fine. I cried because it looked awful, I mean, really bad. I went in probably 4 or 5 times to have them shave down the tooth next to it now that it was way too long. It was the only way to fix their problem. Each time they were annoyed that I came in. I should have paid another $1,000 to get the tooth redone somewhere else, but at that point it wasn't an option. Now a few years later, I still have a lisp because my teeth don't line up and my new tooth is a totally different shape than the others. This was the last straw. I gave Brea Dental too many chances, and I should have gone elsewhere years ago. I'm writing this now because I have a new dentist who I love and who treats me with respect, and doesn't overcharge. DON'T GO HERE, PLEASE! You WILL regret it! read more

I didn't realize how much I was getting scammed here until I moved and had to switch dentists. For years I came here every 6 months for a cleaning and never left without 1-4 cavities that needed to be filled. They told me I had really bad teeth and gums and overall bad hygiene and we're always trying to sell me stuff. I never questioned it, they are medical professionals right? Well, I moved and started going to a new dentist only to find out my teeth and gums are incredibly healthy and no cavities in 3 years that I've been away from Brea Dental. After reading these reviews (years after leaving) I realize it was all a scam and I feel so taken advantage of. Shame on you Brea Dental! read more

I really can't say enough nice things about the whole staff here. Debbie at the front desk was so helpful and welcoming; I needed an emergency appointment as a first time patient. No problem, she got me in next day. I have a really sensitive gag reflex, and taking x-rays are a problem for me. My hygienist, Lucy, made it work. And I also have serious anxiety attacks and have trouble getting numb from novocaine. Dr Jin worked quickly, and he was so comforting. The best part was I thought I'd need a crown, but they were able to fix everything with a filling! I've already recommended several people here. I'm thrilled to have found such a great dental office . read more

Honestly, I am not sure how this place even gets good reviews?! Brea Dental Group is the worst! Complete scam artist! I was told I had 3 cavities and it was going to cost over $600 dollars to have them filled. Sounds normal right? Well given that I have never had a cavity up until this point, it just didn't feel right. I am pretty realistic and knew it was possible (I was 27 at the time of the office visit) but I just found it hard to believe...so I decided to get a 2nd opinion. (I am so glad I trusted my gut!) I was told I had no cavities and It was confirmed by 2 different dentist. Still to this day I have no cavities (I am 32 and never once has my dentist tried to sell anything to me) a good dentist will not try to up sell. read more

Same experience as the others... went in for a cleaning, and they (office girl) wanted a lot of money for other problems. They (She) said they wouldn't even do the cleaning w/o going through a "treatment" which costs over $500 that includes a sonicaretoothbrush and toothpaste, etc. I've already done this treatment a couple years ago. I had skipped my last cleaning and my teeth weren't even bad - i've never even had a cavity. B.S... read more

Total scams happen here. I went in a few years ago and they told me my teeth were so bad that they couldn't even work on them. They tried to get me to pay some ridiculous amount of money that of course my insurance didn't cover. I ended up going back to my old dentist who told me my teeth were perfect and in fact I didn't even have a cavity. I wouldn't be surprised if the better business bureau came knocking on their door soon. Do not go there! Horrible...terrible! read more

This place was recommending all this dental work, being that I regularly floss and brush, and haven't had any cavities in 20 years, I thought it was a little weird that they "found" 3 cavities. I left to another dentist across the street for a second opinion. They found ZERO CAVITIES, and I found my new dental office. read more

I decided to go to this place because it's about two blocks away from my house. I got a couple of veneers done and was pleased with the job, at first everyone was nice. One day I had really bad pain on my front tooth and couldn't eat anything because of the pain; I called the office to see if they could take a look and they said I needed to make an appointment, and that the next one available was in a week (oh and she told me to take Tylenol). I called again the next day because the pain wouldn't go away and I asked her if someone could take a look. Well finally she agreed; I came in, someone took a look at it and said that MAYBE I needed a root canal, but I would have to wait for the doctor another week so he could take a look. At this point I just walked away and never came back! They seemed so unprofessional and careless; it seems like they only care for the things that will bring them more money. I called another office; told them I was in pain and they took me in that same moment, and I had a root canal the following morning. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! read more

This was an excellent experience. I was in the area on a short-term project, and was recommended to BDG by a friend. I lacked an appointment, and needed a crown replaced. I had time, so I waited for the office to create the crown on-site. The staff who worked on the crown and diagnostics were very professional, informative, and friendly. I heartily recommend the Brea Dental Group to anyone needing first-rate dental services, especially in a time-sensitive manner. Thank you. Robert B. Fargo, ND read more

I started my Orthodontics at Brea Dental 4 years ago.. after two years of being there my mouth was no where near done...then the Orthodontist left.. Dr. Lauren Manfred started there and thank God she did! She changed the entire plan, she listened to what my expectations really were (I had a unique case) and after two more years I was finally happy with my smile. As I said, I did not have an easy case but she had the knowledge and was flexible. Many other people said I would have to have even more work done but she was able to fix my smile and actually saved me some money as well! I would recommend her to anyone looking to get braces or orthodontic work done read more

Beware! Although they will make you an appointment for x-rays and cleaning. You will only get x-rays and exam on first visit, no cleaning. The Dr. tells you what you need and lets you know, you have different options. But then the girl in the office takes over. It seems she knows more than the dentist does. Options, there are no longer any options. She will decide (not you) what you need done after reviewing your dental plan. I really get the impression the girl in the office starts milking your dental plan for whatever she feels she can can get them to pay, you will never see the dentist again. Options no, she decides to go with the highest option, and guess what, then you will pay more in co-payments. What you need to be aware of is your co-payments, because she is trying to get you to be believe what she says is the truth. It is no longer about the health of your teeth and getting quality dental work. It is all about the money she can bring in from the dental plans and also from you. Oh, by the way, she will then offer you credit if you can't afford all the charges she says you have to pay, once she runs up all those co-payments. They try the hard sell, pay now, put on credit now, don't put this off. WHY, BECAUSE THEY WANT YOU TO PAY, TO SIGN, AND NOT CHECK WITH YOUR DENTAL PLAN IF THE FEES THEY QUOTE YOU ARE RIGHT!!!!! Bottom line "Make the sale". The office girl said I need to pay up front $1500.00 out of pocket for 1 tooth, and yes, I checked with my dental plan and for the same coding, they said I should only pay a co-payment of $270 for that tooth. Then she said that she won't even make an appointment for me to see the dentist, unless I pay $1500.00. With HMO dental plans they have to honor the negoitated fees they agree to with the dental plan. But she will not. The dental plan said I could file a grievance with the dentist, but why, I see their colors, why would I want to give them any business? There are many good, honest dental offices out there. People, please check your dental plans. HOW MANY OF YOU ARE TAKING IT FOR GRANTED THAT PEOPLE LIKE HER ARE BEING HONEST AND JUST PAY WHAT THEY TELL YOU, WITHOUT CHECKING WITH YOUR DENTAL PLAN? HOW MANY OF YOU NEED THE DENTAL WORK, BUT CAN'T AFFORD WHAT SHE IS TELLING YOU YOU NEED TO CO-PAY, AND THEN PUT YOUR DENTAL WORK ON CREDIT. Please, be wise with your money, you've earned it. Please be wise in how you allow your dentist use your dental plans, other wise the cost for the dental plans will continue to rise, if people like her just keep milking these plans and their patients. It is just shameful, in this ecomony, that there are those kind of people who have no shame in ripping off hard working people, taking their hard earned money, and ripping off the dental plans. I'm very thankful that there is Karma. read more

Avoid at all cost, especially if you have HMO. The dentist will see you briefly than a "financial consultant" will come on to upsell you. I have felt less pressure to buy something at used car lots. They clearly see HMO patients just to get them into a chair to sell them stuff not covered by insurance. You've been warned. read more

I recently took my son to Brea Dental Group to have his wisdom teeth removed. My son was nervous and I did not know what to expect from the surgery. Everyone at Brea Dental Group helped my son and I feel as comfortable as possible before and after the surgery. Every detail about the surgery was explained with detail and my son's surgery turned out very well. I thank Brea Dental Group for caring for my son's dental health, and I will continue to take my son to Brea Dental Group as long as I am able. Thank you. read more
