    He said I didn't need a deep cleaning - others (and insurance) said otherwise.
    Jon D.

    I always suspected this dentist was not all he appears to be, but I couldn't prove it until now. He has too many positive reviews for the area, the place is a hole in the wall in one of the worst areas of Anaheim (it's next door to a $100 jack shack called lol massage and a 7-11) with outdated equipment and a staff that you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley. The best way to describe one of them is a walking refrigerator on cans. I had seen him in the past, several years ago, and he didn't do a great job. I regarded him as being quick and too gentle about it. Germs are realistic, they hide in places that he doesn't want to go. My regular hygienist is digging holes, going to town with the ultrasonic scaler, while this guy's like 'meh'. But I had an approval for a deep cleaning and wanted to see if he would do it. Despite the reviews leading you to think he's God's gift to west Anaheim, I was able to see him the next morning. He checked out my insurance, took a few x-rays, some pictures, didn't perform a routine gum measurement aka "periodontal charting" (they're mostly 5's and 6's, anything over a 3 is bad), and said "You don't need a deep cleaning, goodbye". But what he didn't know is that my other dentist already assessed my condition as qualifying for not only a scaling/root planing (aka a deep cleaning), but also an approval for cleanings every three months for the next year. And this is from caloptima, our state's public insurance. Not easy to get an approval because of the cost. My current condition is pretty bad. I had a regular cleaning about two months ago and due to some setbacks, had to postpone. My gums will not stop bleeding after flossing and trying to build tolerance, there's always a nasty taste in my mouth and it feels pretty rotten. He doesn't know about this because he didn't ask. Our conversation was minimal. My hunch: A lot of these reviews are fakes, the pictures are inflated and/or he discriminates based on what insurance the patient has, and/or he takes easy jobs. In either case, he decided I wasn't worth his time and cut me loose. There's a joke floating around that "nobody wants to work anymore" but in his case, it's actually true. The least amount of work for the most money, end result being an antiquated notion. The other thing that irritated me is their resident lunkhead called me two hours before my appointment, like a babysitter or something. Attached are the notes from my hygienist that I've been seeing since 2010 (for those keeping notes, that's 14 years and counting). These records are the assessment along with the approval from caloptima.

    The best dental care I have ever experienced! Dr. Yong and his courteous and friendly staff made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. The professionalism and friendliness of the whole team is outstanding. I've been going to them for a complicated process (implants/crowns) and they have been extremely patient and supportive.Every visit is like visiting friends. I couldn't be happier with the results. This is my Dental Team Forever !! Thank You....James

    Even sent me this High-resolution X ray minutes after leaving the office. Thanks!

    After informing Stephanie on a Wendesday that my Medi-Cal approval was pending, she called me on Sunday (a Sunday!) while driving which was good timing, and after helping me confirm my Medi Cal is ready she set an appointment for me. Considering I probably would have taken a few more days to call back in to make an appointment she helped me get to the Dr. much sooner! When I went in for my appointment the ladies there were all kind and helpful. Dr. Yung cares for his patients by taking his time to discuss future treatment and recommendations, I felt comfortable there and the cleaning was proper. Thanks to everyone at Cal Dental. Best wishes. -Jose Carlos S.

    My experience at Stanton Dental was completely ruined by the woman who went over my treatment plan…read moreI believe her name was Trini. I came in because I was having tooth pain, and I was also supposed to have a cleaning but after dealing with her, I wanted to leave immediately. I was completely done with the place and decided I would rather find a new dentist. I explained that I had lost Medi-Cal a while ago because of income related eligibility issues and now had different insurance. I repeatedly told her that I am a low income mom and there was no way I could afford the large treatment bill right now. Her response was that I should have stayed with Medi-Cal because the treatment would have been free, as though that had been my choice. Instead of respecting that, she kept pushing me to open a credit account, discuss financing, ask a husband or partner, or somehow figure out how to pay for it on the spot. She repeatedly told me she did not want my tooth to fall out. After I had already said several times that I could not afford the treatment, I finally said, "Then it falls out." The entire conversation became an unnecessary back-and-forth because she would not accept "not right now" as an answer. It took a lot for me to mentally prepare myself to go to the dentist and this interaction made the entire experience extremely uncomfortable and embarrassing. My son heard the whole conversation and even said afterward that she was rude to me. Please train your staff to treat patients with more patience and compassion. Staff should not be aggressive/cutthroat when discussing treatment with someone who is clearly saying they cannot afford it. Pressuring a patient to open credit or find someone else to pay is inappropriate. I will not be returning.

The office is brand new and clean. Jimmy took x-rays of me and right from the start, you could tell they were well oiled. He could make anyone seem at ease, and he was fast. Dr Ibrahim was energetic, gentle, and thorough. He came up with a plan for me that would catch me up and also scheduled an in house periodontal consult for me. I have had problems for years and he is the first dentist to suggest a periodontist. On to Lourd, who scaled and cleaned my teeth faster than anyone I've ever had before. I didn't even need numbing. She paused and checked many times to make sure that I was ok. I literally fell asleep in the chair a couple times. I had deep pockets and over a years worth of heavy plaque. So happy I found them. Octavio set up a plan for my next visit and was upfront on what was needed and what was not needed and the price was what I paid pre-covid days. There was no upselling, just great communication and care from everyone. I can't imagine what would make an experience better. They are worth checking out.

Since he…read moreleft, I can't even process what just happened during my visit by the new dentist, I felt as though I was being scammed. I came in for a regular cleaning and based off looking at some Live Photos of my teeth, the dentist said I needed a deep cleaning for $600! No periodontal chart, no examining the xrays! (There was just some stains and some build up). He was asking me a ton of questions like he was trying to find a "gotcha" answer, and use that to justify a deep cleaning. "Do you smoke, do you drink, do you take supplements?" Yadi yadi ya. I have had a deep cleaning before and I was never asked these many questions (Like I was being interrogated). Previous dentist would just look at the xray and pockets to make an objective decisions. He was also acting like he was super concerned about my teeth and that this was devastating for me (I give the acting a 7/10, it was pretty decent). He then said he will see what he can do and drop some services during the deep cleaning and hook me for $160 for the deep cleaning. I walked out and talked to two different dentists/hygienist for a 2nd opinion and they said I definitely did not need a deep cleaning! The other dental office did a regular cleaning, removed the stains and build up and I was good to go. This place is so shady and unethical and needs to be reported to the BBB if you fell victim to one of their upsales. Please do not fall for their trap and seek second opinions.
