I've been coming to this office for several years, and I've always received excellent care. Dr. Garcia and Dr. Collazo are both knowledgeable, attentive, and truly make dental visits comfortable. Ana at the front desk is always friendly and very helpful. Highly recommend this office for anyone looking for great dental care read more

I have had root canals, crowns and partials done at this particular office by Dr Garcia. I put off taking care of my teeth for a few years due to caring for my mother. On top of that I have what they call soft teeth. Not only is he caring, understanding, patient, his entire demeanor puts you at ease. His work is phenomenal! The office staff is courteous kind and very professional. If you have an emergency they do their very best to fit you in immediately. The front desk receptionist Anna who handles many things for Dr Garcia, including appointments and approvals, is a one in a million. You will not find a better dentist or his office staff and dental assistants anywhere. Five + stars. If I could give 10 Stars I would!!! read more

Laguna Beach Smile Dentistry is more than a Clinic. Staff is friendly; Ana greets you with a warm smile making you feel at home; even in a dentist office! :-) Dr. Garcia treats me with warmth, kindness, patience, and outstanding service each time I visit. His care of all patients is exemplary. My tooth extraction was almost fun, thanks to Nitrous and Dr. Garcia's sense of humor! I couldn't believe he had pulled my tooth at all! With the excellent assistance of Alex, the procedure was near-painless; which is saying a lot for a dental visit! Highly recommended them; you'll be smiling as you leave read more

Dr. Garcia is a caring, gentle and has a calming demeanor.He has helped me where other dentist wouldnt because of the inability to open my mouth because of scar tissue Fr. Garcia was able to complete the dental work l desperately needed. Hes the best dentist at his craft!!l recommend him 100% read more

Dr.Garcia is the best! I have had a lot of work done and still have more to go, but he has never once put me in any pain he is the man. He has made ever visit easy and his work is amazing so if your looking of a great dentist at a great price look no further mark read more

Wow!! Best dentist ever!! I have just left Dr. Garcia's office and I'm so happy with the work he did that I sat down on a bench outside his beautiful office to write this review. I have been coming to Laguna Beach Smile for years now and truthfully, Dr Carlos is the reason I overcame my fear of dentists. I had my first root-canal done by him a few weeks ago and it's hard to believe but when he gave me the injection to numb the area I couldn't even feel the needle going in! the entire experience was pain free :) That's how experienced and precise he is... same thing the following week when I came back for a crown prep. He is like a skilled mathematician, every equation he does adds up perfectly! I'll post a picture to show you what I mean by that - I'm so happy because the crown he just put on which is visible in my smile looks exactly like my own tooth! If I didn't know which one it was I couldn't tell the crown apart from my own teeth. Even when he did a temporary while the crown was being made in the lab it looked Super natural and felt normal. The precision this doctor and his team work with is top notch, best of the best! I left a review for Laguna Beach smile a couple of years ago even though I am not a review writer (busy mom of 2) but I feel so happy and grateful to have found Dr Carlos that every time I leave his office I want to shout it from the rooftops and tell everyone to come here. The office is perfectly located in downtown Laguna Beach with its own parking spots which trust me is a big deal here in Laguna. It is clean, so clean. Feels new and is very well taken care of with the best equipment and tools it's obvious. Every member of his staff is friendly and courteous and the cohesiveness of how they communicate and work hand it hand impresses me. I have been to many dentist in my life because I have weak enamel. From dentist in Germany growing up to dentist in different states around the country here, no one has come close to the positive experience here at Laguna Beach smile. I so highly recommend Dr Carlos and his office! read more

Carlos F Garcia, DDS - New crown. Any guesses which tooth it's on? Thanks Dr Garcia for the impeccable work :) - General Dentistry Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

I'm not a big fan of the dentist as I'm sure is true of most people, but I just wanted to write this review for the nice lady that answers the phone and works the front office. She is extraordinarily polite and accommodating. I truly appreciate how kind she is even when I know I'm a difficult client because I've cancelled appointments and rescheduled multiple times.. she's still so nice to me. I'll find out her name next time so I can give her proper credit. As far as doc. Garcia; we will see when all my tooth work is completed.. I had a root canal today and they have to do a crown next week.. it wasn't as bad as I anticipated so, so far so good. Will update later read more

Lots to say for this little office. First off the customer service is exceptional The girl at the front works the phones while she's doing 15 other things she's very gifted in that sense The dentist there Dr Carlos is a great dentist gets the work done he make sure that you're happy with the work and it's that simple I would highly recommend this place to friends family they're very flexible with costs. There's also a girl named Meredith and she's fantastic she's a dental assistant and I trust her I trust her opinion she's always been very reassuring and comforting even for someone like myself who struggles with anxiety over the dentist she's just an incredibly amazing helpful person and I'm so grateful for this practice so I do recommend you go this place if you're looking for quality dental work thank you so much I appreciate it read more

Eek! I definitely do not recommend this place to even my worst enemy. The dental staff are rude and unfriendly and are clearly upset they work there. Jack and the front staff are nice but hard to get a straight answer, or even the right one. I have had so many conflicting answers. And I have never met Carlos Garcia, have no idea who this person is. The dental hygienist is one of the rudest people I've ever met and destroyed my mouth. Wont ever come back here again. read more

Awful terrible experience. Customer service is not the best but the bedside manner was torturous. I was in visible pain and crying. So rough. I left with bleeding gums and a very sore jaw. All for a simple procedure to get two fillings. read more

I have four crowns. Dr. Garcia claimed that I had cavities under those four crowns. Six months later, I went to see another dentist to get my teeth cleaned and get a second opinion. The latter requested my X-rays from Dr. Garcia's staff, which they claimed they didn't have!! I re-scheduled my cleaning appointment to give dr Garcia's staff time to find my X-rays. After so much hassle, they ended up emailing the X-rays, and sure enough, there were no cavities! Six months later, went to see another dentist, and he also stated that I had no cavities. Dr Garcia wanted to perform costly procedures on me to remove nonexistent cavities! read more

Dr. Garcia is AMAZING! I had an extraction Bone graft and stitches and even down to the numbing injection I never felt any discomfort. He's so very kind and caring and doesn't want you to feel pain. And Anna the receptionist so sweet and helpful and as well Dr Garcia's 2 assistances, I unfortunately didn't get the names but also they are so wonderful Truly the only place to go for dental. I won't be going anywhere else read more

Just left Dr Garcia's office. The BEST dental office. They are observing all precautions for COVID. Taking your temperature in the waiting room and only allow 2 people at a time there. The staff is amazing. Lilly, the receptionist is so kind and sweet. Dr. Garcia is incredible. The assistants are wonderful too. Jack, the office manager, is also the greatest also. Make an appointment at this office and you will not be disappointed. read more

Overwhelmingly disappointed. Incredibly unprofessional and disorganized. I was told that I needed a root canal, Immediately. They then scheduled an appointment for me a month out. They called the day prior confirming my appointment and then the day of, canceling my appointment. They rescheduled for another 5 weeks out. Once again they called to confirm the day prior, this time offering me an earlier appointment which I declined. They then they called again that same evening to cancel the appointment, this time they advised that they were unable to do the procedure EVER. Left without a dentist or a referral or my X-rays. They are not skilled to handle anything outside of X-rays and cleanings. Zero idea who Dr. Garcia is, he was never present. Additionally the techs in office are sales people, continually recommending unnecessary procedures. read more

They don't know what their doing. I had an appointment for a retreat. Dr Garcia gives me 2 shots then tells me he doesn't have the tools to do this that he needed to ask his friend if he could do it for him. And Jack is very rude he said he was doing me a favor by seeing me because I had medical that no other dentist will do procedure with medical patients. read more

Dr. Never removed his mask to meet me. Jack was friendly but Samantha kept acting like I wasn't going to pay. The worse was the assistant. She's clumsy and nervous. She couldn't answer any questions. Very unprofessional with her hot pink thong showing through her white pants. He hair was falling in her face. Tools and supplies were not readily available. They were on time, very little waiting. Parking was easy. I didn't like the open treatment rooms and you could hear the staff arguing on the phone. Meh read more

The best dental office I've been to, bar none. Everyone is super polite, especially Jack & Samantha. Your appointment is on time, and they all seem to really care about your dental health. I had veneers done, and of course I was nervous. They explained the whole procedure, had preliminary appointments and showed me what it would look like. The dentists are perfectionists, and he made sure everything was perfect before he finished. Since then, I've had cleanings, check ups, and been fitted for a night guard, and every time they are a joy to deal with. Top notch in every way. read more

Friendly staff help me feel comfortable from the reception area to the dentist chair. Shout out to Dr Garcia for the impeccable work.

Would not recommend. Very bad experience, blood pressure went through the roof from the stress they caused.

What a blessing this office is. I have never been so relieved to go to a dentist office. I know I'm in good hands. Fantastic customer service and my teeth are the best thanks to them. read more

My experiences with this establishment has been nothing short of genuine family. The people on staff took a personal interest in making sure my dental health needs were met and that I didn't skip on any procedures that would affect me in the future. I highly recommend Laguna Beach Smile. read more

First time at this dentist office. Very happy with the service. Lupe Gomez was very friendly and professional

Dr. Garcia has been my dentist for over two decades. I have always been impressed with the compassion, integrity and professionalism he brings to every visit. He fully explains options ahead of time, makes a plan to address the problem and isn't satisfied until the job is done perfectly. This has included basic care to composite fillings, beautiful porcelain crowns, night guards and a couple root canals along the way. Over the past year a new and impressive office manager has come on board--her name is Lupe. I hope I have spelled it correctly. She always either takes my phone calls or returns them by the end of the day--no matter how late she stays, which tonight was apparently long after the office actually closed. read more

The best dentist I have been to other dentist but Dr. Garcia is by far the best dentist I have ever met! He's gentle, compassionate and caring. He takes time to explain treatment and is very thorough. He is the best! read more

The front office woman, Lupe is extremely argumentative and hostel towards medi cal patients. She refused to request authorization for basic teeth cleaning while requesting a bridge work authorization, which I declined for personal experience with bridges. They then filled two cavities immediately because this procedure "didn't need authorization". It has been three plus months and refuses to tell me what is happening with my needed teeth cleaning. Dishonest and only concerned with profit. read more

Dr. Garcia was so gentle and patient during a procedure in which I was extremely nervous. His assistant Lupe is so kind and helps each and every patient with her calming manner. She goes above and beyond in helping each patient with their insurance and cares about the patients in Dr. Garcias office. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Garcia's office for any dental work. He shows a respect and caring for his patients that is really genuine. read more

My experience was a good one: nice receptionist, and the dental staff is very caring. The wait can be very long though depending on the day.
