The team at Brite Clean Smiles in Costa Mesa is extraordinary. Dr. Shadi is an extremely thorough and knowledgeable dentist, who is willing to listen to your needs and make accommodations to suit your preference. Patty is without a doubt the most caring, progressive and intuitive dental hygienist I have encountered. Her advice is golden. Their entire office staff is warm and welcoming. They even worked within my limited budget to perform much needed dental work. I am grateful to have discovered this wonderful dental resource. read more

I've been here twice for dental work and the staff is amazing! They walked me through the process, especially what to expect. Highly recommend going here for the friendly staff, great pricing, and great atmosphere! read more

I chipped my stupid tooth on a fork right before Christmas and they fixed my teeth and they are looking so much better! The doctor was very thorough and answered all of my questions. read more

I recently had an incredible experience at the office with Daniel the dentist and Patty the hygienist, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the moment I walked in, they made me feel completely at ease and addressed all of my dental concerns with genuine care. Patty did a wonderful job with my cleaning, being both thorough and incredibly gentle throughout the entire process. Dr. Daniel then took over, demonstrating impressive expertise while taking the time to explain every step of my treatment clearly. What truly touched me was their amazing generosity; they worked with me to keep my out-of-pocket costs to a minimum and even performed some necessary work for free. It is rare to find a dental team that prioritizes the well-being of their patients over their bottom line so selflessly. Their professionalism and kindness have earned them a patient for life, and I am so grateful for the beautiful smile they helped me maintain. read more

Brite Clean Smiles - The entrance to the business - General Dentistry Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

What a hidden gem of an office! I found them through my insurance and of course, I checked Yelp before making an appointment. The Yelpers definitely got this one right! I had an unfortunate incident with a candy cane and cracked my filling. My usual dentist was on holiday so I figured I'd just get it done rather than waiting a few more weeks. I made the appointment online which made the whole process a breeze. The staff called to confirm and just from that conversation, I could tell they were super sweet and on top of it. The day of, I was a nervous wreck because I knew what was coming. When I walked in I was greeted with a warm welcome and walked back almost immediately. I finally met the dentist and told him my fears, he was kind, funny and put my anxiety to rest. He's got the most gentle touch and did a phenomenal job. I also need to note that his Dental Hygienist was a doll and made me laugh the whole time. Needless to say, I booked my cleaning appointment with him and have decided to switch dental offices. Service like this deserves recognition! I'm one happy patient and will be back to visit in a few weeks. read more

Hygienist and my dentist are excellent. Couldn't be happier with the new owners. They do what is needed and are not trying to get you to do procedures that are no necessary. You can trust them! read more

Losey dental hygienist. Completely missed cavities on dental examination besides some deep gum pockets. Went to another dentist and they found them immediately. No complainants against Dr Daniel but he never examined my teeth for cavities. Never will visit that business again. read more

I cannot say enough about the staff and level of service here. Everyone is very friendly and the pricing for the work I've gotten done here was very affordable. Dr. Danial is super efficient and explained everything very well. Highly recommend! read more

Sooo, unfortunately this practice was sold. I've seen the new Dr and the hygenist stayed on board...the are great! No complaints! However...the office staff when you call are not helpful. Also, they claim to no longer have any of my recorde...they "cant access them," because they got a new software system....So, that's illegal. You can't just destroy or not have access to patient records. Of course you can access them, you just don't want to do the work to get them. I'm pretty sure if a lawyer contacted you or if the dental records were needed for identification purposes, you would find a way. It's unfortunate and frustrating for patients who have moved because all my records are just "gone" now!?? Si I have to get x rays again because you don't feel like retreiving patient records because it's a hassle. You can do it! I'm sure of it! read more

Wonderful place! Very kind people that were welcoming, prompt and GENTLE! I finally found the right dental clinic! Thank you guys! read more

Dr. Shadi is legendary! I've had a few of my patients move out to the area over the years and I've made sure to refer them here. I wouldn't trust anyone else. read more

I've been with Brite Clean Smiles for about 7 years or so. It was disappointing to learn that Dr. Girgis left. I trusted him and was concerned about whether the new dentists would have the same integrity. Dr. G is the best because he was honest and didn't try to upsell me. I wanted to do so many things with my teeth, and he'd tell me if I really didn't need to do some of those things and even suggested cheaper alternatives without me even asking. The year I met him, I went to 4 other dentists to find "the one." Patty the hygienist is still there which is amazing. She's gentle, thorough and super sweet and genuine. Her outlook on dental care and total vibe is the same as Dr. G and that's comforting. I met Dr. Shadi in my last visit. She was pleasant and knowledgeable, and I can see myself going back to her every 6 months and when need work done. It looks like handoff in ownership went smoothly and I'm relieved that Dr. Shadi will be my new dentist :) read more

Getting dental work somewhere new can be scary, but I'm so glad I found Dr. Shadi at BCS. I had a crown that hasnt felt right since it was put in, but since Dr. Shadi replaced it, my symptoms disappeared immediately. She was also kind and gentle and made me feel like I was in good hands . read more

I love Dr. Shadi and her staff. I feel so welcome every time I come here when I'm visiting my parents in Cali. She is definitely my go to dentist read more

This is a heads up. It is a new practice now as Dr. Mina Girgiss sold his practice and they are doing things in a new way. Which is their right of course. Don't expect it to be like it was. loved coming here and being helped by the previous owner, Dr. Girgis and his kind and supportive staff including his amazing compassionate and skilled hygenist, Patty. The new staff and business is so different... .The receptionist made me very uncomfortable in every conversation I had with her. It is fine if you book 2 + months ahead and are OK with paying a lot more for everything. *booked 2 + months out *it was discouraged to call for a cancellation as they have a "list" and I was told by one receptionist that she chooses whom she offers a cancellation to... tip.. do what I did and call when she might be at lunch? See my comment below. *payment required up front before service when i said I would wait until I was finished to pay as I was accustomed to doing with Dr. Mina's practice. *Ozone no longer included with cleaning. VERY expensive now and per quadrant. *My paid for Zoom treatment .. receptionist told me it would not be honored. *Dr. Daniel seems to have merged his practices.. this one and his own practice so the office is much busier. Dr. Daniel was kind and impressive my first visit.. he only works a couple of days of week here now. Dr. Shadi really nice today altho she was not the same dentist who saw me last time and I was not aware it was a revolving door of changing staff with the exception of the wonderful hygenist Patty who is still there from Dr. Girgiss practice. Trying to get in on a cancellation because I didn't want to wait 2 months out was discouraged and it made me sick to my stomach after a couple of very polite tries when I called to check on availability and then was told I should ... "go somewhere else". First time in, Dr. Michaels saw me and was very nice! He told me nothing would change with service or pricing. WHEW! Second time back.. When I went in a week and a half ago finally getting in on a cancellation that I was given when that receptionist was on her lunch break and someone else took my call, (suddenly there were two openings within a day), Zoom is now $300 instead of $99, cleaning is $104 instead of $79 and Ozone which was including with the cleaning is I forget exactly as I was shocked.. over a hundred dollars per quadrant. And the Zoom I already paid for is not noted anywhere in their system they say and I'm told it won't be honored. That's a chunk of money! I was told the office manager would call me and so far no one has called and it's been a week and a half. The new owner has every right to change the pricing,. Just please honor what you say to the patients from the previous practice when you first opened under new management and don't keep changing it? Normally, if one of these things happen, customer service oriented friendly staff would say something like.. I'm so sorry this is happening.. how can we make it right and at least try. I found Dr. Girgis new practice but he can't see his patients from BCS as he is under a non-compete. Found his cousin, also named Dr. Girgis who has a dental practice in Long Beach and when I contacted them, everyone has been REALLY welcoming, supportive and kind. Just like Dr. Mina Girgiss was when he owned this practice. That practice also has ozone and does charge for it altho it is much less expensive than this new practice at BCS. I am still waiting for the call from the office manager after a week and a half so I decided to go ahead and post this. I get a knot in my stomach thinking about it as I am anticipating more of "this is a new practice and we do things differently" which was said to me over and over in response to every question I voiced. .. more of the disappointing type of communication I've already experienced. So just a heads up. It is a new practice and they are doing things in a new way. Which is their right of course. Don't expect it to be like it was. read more

Another great dental visit! Followed Dr.Shadi from her last office she is very honest and gentle. Making an appointment and getting my cleanings are always seamless. Anytime I have needed to get a shot it has been so painless! I really like how the Doctor talks me through the procedure while she's doing it which really relaxes me. I feel so confident with my smile now! read more

I'll start off this review by saying the dental hygienist Patty is so sweet and amazing at her job! I almost would stay just for her teeth cleanings. However, I recently was told I had 8 or 9 cavities after previously only ever having 1 or 2 in my entire life. I had gone for teeth cleanings regularly so it's not like I was behind on my upkeep. They suggested it was due to pregnancy, but usually your gums are affected during pregnancy and teeth only if your diet changes significantly which mine did not. I had a few of the "cavities" filled on the spot, and paid for them, but still felt 9 could not be true. I received a second opinion and was told I had NO cavities and only staining and the cavities that were filled were done so poorly and improperly. Do not use this dentist! read more

I loved coming here and being helped by the previous owner, dr Girgis and his kind staff. The new staff is not helpful in getting me an appointment, the number listed on all platforms is incorrect. I'm still getting automated reminders but I am unable to make my appointment. Extremely frustrating !! read more

Brite Clean Smiles - Teeth whitening - General Dentistry Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

The front desk, Cristi and Betty, were so nice, helpful, and efficient! All the way to getting my teeth work on by Dr. Shadi and Raquel was a pleasant and thorough experience. Dr. Shadi made sure she talked through everything she was doing and made me feel comfortable. Nothing was painful whatsoever, which is what I look for when coming to the Dentist. read more

Came here for a routine dental cleaning and the staff were all very nice and efficient. The cleaning was quick and painless and I left with a sparkling mouth. The Doctor was able to recommend me to an orthopedic surgeon to look into my wisdom teeth for jaw pain. I also returned for a night guard fitting that was an in and out appointment. I even had to return to have it refitted but it was easy to get in. Would recommend! read more

Got work done here and a year and a half later half of my tooth cracked and fell off. Called and was told new ownership.. what a waste of $400. Total scam!! read more

I just want to comment on how pleased I was today with Brite Clean Smiles. From the receptionist Natile who greeted me when I walked to the assistant who took my X-rays. Then I got introduced to the Dr Girgis who Was amazing. I am one individual who doesn't like going to the dentist especially after my last encounter at another location in Corona. Dr. Girgis heard what my issues were and put me at ease with how we would move forward. I was in and out of the office within an hour. Great experience I highly recommend him and his office. I have found my new home for all my dental needs. read more

Moving to a new city means finding a new dentist: and boy am I glad I found Brite Clean Smiles! I'll pass on the fancy TVs and the take-home goodie bags I never use... I'd rather have a dentist who runs an honest business and doesn't upsell any day. Now, don't get me wrong. It isn't "bare bones". The establishment is very clean and the waiting room is comfortable. I appreciate the fragrance in the bathroom and the two options for mouthwash- one generic and one more "natural." Now those details DO matter! I came in for routine X-rays, cleaning and a zoom whitening treatment ($200 for new patients paying out-of-pocket, which is a very fair price!). All of the staff were professional and friendly, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that Dr. Girgis was the one who was going to clean my teeth. Nothing against hygienists, but it's nice to have the dentist examine my teeth (especially for the first time). Dr. Girgis was very gentle and thorough during the cleaning, and has good bedside manner too. The x-rays revealed that I need to replace several old fillings- I appreciated that the doctor took the time to show me the x-ray photo I could see the decay myself. While not cheap, taking care of my teeth is top priority and I'll definitely be back once I switch to PPO insurance. Thanks Dr. Girgis and Staff for a great experience. read more

Me gusta mucho este Dentista porque hace un trabajo excellente n sus empleadas muyyyy amable y professionals. Lo recomiendo a todos. Vengas con Dr Michael ​ read more

I appreciate that when I was having some pain from my temporary crown, that that Dr. Girgis adjusted his schedule to see me the following day. In addition, his financial assistant/receptionist, Natalie, is always friendly and responsive to my questions and requests. read more

Staff was PHENOMENAL from start to finish. The dental hygienist, Patty, notably puts so much care and live into what she's doing. She was extremely gentle, communicative, and would explain the chain of upcoming processes a few different times which provides a sense of comfort when you're aware of what's going on and what's going to happen. Melissa who whitened my teeth and Natalie at the front desk were extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and kind. The doctor is always a pleasure to speak with as well. It's nice to hear feedback about a good employee, but it's even better when the amazing experience had was a result of the entire team's efforts. Thank you!!! read more

Ever since I've been coming to this office I really enjoy my visits for dental cleanings, and trust me, this wasn't always the case at other facilities. Dr. Girgis and his staff are absolutely outstanding! They are highly knowledgeable, professional, kind, and always perform quality work. I'm very grateful for their services and highly recommend them! read more

Not sure about the previous dentist, but Dr. Danial is AMAZING!! The nicest and most honest dentist I've ever had. His staff is always so kind as well!! I recommend him to all my friends and family!! read more

I wanted to start off by saying THANK YOU TO BTRITE CLEAN SMILES and staff! All staff was kind and made me feel very comfortable. I drove nearly 50mins away from home to visit this great dental office for the first time and as I walked in I was greeted by the office manager, Natalie as well as the hygienist, Patty. Immediately I was directed to take my x-rays and then my cleaning, At first I was kind of scared and nervous (because it had been so long since I had a cleaning) but then I felt that I was in good hands! The doctor said everything looked good so I'm so happy with the final results! I highly recommend and I look forward to coming back for my next visit in 4months! Thank you all for such a great experience! read more

Please Beware. I went for my 6 mo. checkup and found Dr. Mina Girgis sold the practice. I've had NO cavities in over 50 years and suddenly the new dentist claimed I have 6! My last appointment was half a year ago and there were none. They also recommended several therapies including teeth whitening and Invisalign. I had braces and my teeth are very straight. All I wanted was a new mouth guard! I have dental hygienists in my family. They've moved offices over the years to avoid horrific upsell practices of the dentist. Sadly, this once wonderful practice in Costa Mesa has been infected by the upsell virus. I will wait for 6 months and seek a new dentist as honest as I experienced Dr. Girgis to be. read more

My husband and I have been going here for sometime now. Dr Girgis and his staff are so great! We had our amalgam removal done here and have continued to follow up for cleaning since. It's a great experience each time! I always recommend this place and will continue to do so! Thank you Dr Girgis! :) read more

Came in for a scheduled appointment today. The office was very clean and the staff was very attentive and nice.Dr. Shadi made me feel comfortable and did an amazing job at cleaning my teeth she has a very gentle touch for which im thankful, i've been to so many dentist before, and i usually get very anxious and nerves and she made me feel very confortable and was so patient with me. already scheduled my check up in 6 months ! read more

My first time brite clean smiles was a great experience! The staff are so nice and kind. I came to my appointment late and they still do the best they can to ensure I get the best results with my smile. They check up during your procedures occasionally to see how you're feeling! Great place! read more

The dentist is fantastic. Would be 5 stars, except... The front office staff is terrible with insurance. It's always a problem with them. I have a PPO insurance and they are telling me it's HMO. I called my insurance to verify and yes, it IS a PPO. I tell them and they can't figure it out? I went to another dentist with no problem with the same insurance, and they were able to see it was a PPO. My boyfriend's insurance is also a problem for them, for no reason. I don't know why it's such a fight every single time for insurance. I don't want to call the front office staff incompetent, but, as someone who is front office for a doctor's office (I know it's a little different between medical and dental) who also comes in contact with insurance, this is unacceptable and extremely frustrating. read more

RUN !! This place used to be my old dentist when Dr. Mina Girgis was the dr. He sold the practice and I believe moved to LA county. It was extremely heartbreaking and the new dentist Dr. Danial aka Mike is all about money & THATS IT. It used to be a holistic practice & although they are trying to sell the dream of it still being holistic, it is NOT. This place is now far from it now. Everyone here is so UNWELCOMING and this place just isn't what it used to be. It's super disheartening because the old staff all cared about oral health and now I feel like I'm going into a clinic that's over booked & ran down. If anyone finds where Dr. Mina has gone. PLEASE LET ME KNOW read more

I wanted to give a shoutout and a huge thanks to everyone at Brite Clean Smiles! I've never had such a great experience at a dental office in my life. Natalie and Melissa the front desk girls were so welcoming and friendly and Natalie definitely took care of all of my insurance needs. I came in with a chipped tooth and looking to remove my mercury fillings and everything was done so quick and professional. I'm so glad I found this dental office and I'm going to absolutely recommend to all my friends and family. Thank you so much! read more

Dr. Mina Girgis is the most amazing dentist I've ever had (and I had quite many over the years). He is honest, gentle, understanding, compassionate and patient, and I cannot express how grateful I am that I've found him. In addition, he is a holistic dentist and SMART certified by the IAOMT, which means he can remove amalgam fillings in a safe way. He was also far the most affordable holistic dentist that I could find in the LA/OC area. He removed all of my mercury fillings and used a safe, non-BPA composite to replace them, as well as crowns on the ones that could not be filled. He even filled one small cavity and fixed a gap between my teeth for free! I went to a consultation to a different place just before I found Dr. Girgis' service and they wanted to charge me almost double for the work they proposed: they recommended more crowns and even root canal that turned out, wasn't needed. Dr. Girgis was extremely honest and helpful, and he even offered me a discount for my dental plan. I can HIGHLY recommend Dr. Girgis and his team: Pita, his assistant, and Lee, the receptionist lady are both amazing and very kind. As a complement to my treatment plan, he also provided me with free teeth whitening with ZOOM and free whitening trays. If you are anxious, do not hesitate to choose Dr. Girgis, as he is the best and most caring dentist you could ever have. read more
