I arrived around noon and Noemi helped schedule a same day appointment since the dentists were out for lunch. When I returned later, Debbie went over and showed me the documents before I signed anything, which made me feel a lot more comfortable. I also spoke with a family friend in dentistry, and they reassured me that the procedures they proposed were actually necessary, which helped ease some of my concerns. During my visit again, Dr. Gaffino explained that my pain was due to the tooth needing a bit more shaving since I couldn't feel it while numb from the other day. Once she adjusted it, the pressure and ache went away almost instantly. The whole visit was quick, efficient, and I walked out with no more pain/discomfort. Overall, I appreciated the improved bedside manner, communication, and quick and effective work this time around! This visit felt much more helpful and fair.

The color of the crown was not quite there and even though I couldn't see it in the dental office, he pointed it out. We decided to keep the crown on temporarily so that I could whiten my teeth a bit so that my teeth color would be closer to the crown color. Anyways I am super pleased with how it looks now and he was able to fill out some gaps on the front teeth with some bonding.

First off the office is new and has all the latest equipment. The X rays are easy and for those of you who hate having to take impressions.... Hate no more. They don't use those nasty impression trays that ooze all in your mouth and make you GAG. I don't recall what it called but it's like a pen they put around your teeth and it takes a digital picture of your teeth. Dr. Bae will tell you what procedures you need now and what can wait. There is absolutely no pressure. Dr Bae and his staff are all about making you feel comfortable. I highly recommend Angelica for your teeth cleaning appointments. I also have to mention that if you need a crown...you can have it the same day. How awesome is that? No temporary crown and waiting weeks for it to come in. That's so yesterday! Dr. Bae also has their own dental plan. It is a so worth it. As we all know most Dental insurance is not so great. I also have to mention how great Dr. Bae's office staff is. If you are looking for an HONEST DENTIST with a great staff go see Dr. Bae in Brea. PS if you are Petrified of Dentists..... Dr Bae recommends you just come in and talk get to know him and tell him your concerns and have X-rays on the initial visit. He will tell you what needs to be addressed......Then you can decide if you want to proceed. Don't neglect your teeth. Be true to your teeth and they won't be false to you!

I barely had time to sit down, waiting a mere 2 minutes before being called in. The staff were not only incredibly friendly but also remarkably efficient, making the check-in process a breeze. The clinic environment itself is a model of cleanliness and tranquility, creating a very calm and quiet environment that immediately put me at ease. I was there for some fillings, and I can honestly say the entire process was smooth and gentle. Dr. Oscar Marin is truly a professional - his skill and gentle approach made what could have been a stressful procedure completely comfortable. I'm absolutely delighted with my experience and will definitely be returning to Smile Design Advanced Dentistry for all future dental needs. Highly recommend to everyone!

Ugh, the drill anxiety was high along with the Novocaine shots. But it was expected since I haven't had any major repair work in several years.

They treat their patients with respect and understanding. Although I'd never had any dental work done on my teeth (besides vanity braces and wisdom tooth pull), I had to have my first procedure done at the age of 55 years old. And it was a crown! Ugh. But, finding the root of the problem (pun intended) was done so with care and with accuracy under the watchful eye of Dr. Lee. He eased my fears of having the work done and he sent me to a fantastic endodontist (see Reid Pullen). Together my root canal and crown was a breeze. Dr. Lee is always such a happy guy seems to honestly care about my well-being. He listens and hears me. I haven't had a dentist in quite a few years that I would highly recommend, but I do now!!

The lady at the front desk has been the kindest person I have ever met at a dental office. Dr. Daniel and Dr Christiana have been very knowledgeable, kind, and thorough. They were able to explain things to me that I have not heard from other dentists. I looked for a second opinion due to the first office wanting to pull 3 teeth and replace with implants. Zion Family Dental did an exam and thought that was very extreme. They have been conservative and are more focused on saving your teeth and doing what is best for the patient, than pulling and replacing any minor incident with an implant. I have had such a wonderful time there that I have my wife and kids now going to Zion Family Dental. Each time we have gone there we have been greeted by the front desk, they have been on time with each appointment start, and Dr. Christiana has even remembered minor information unrelated to my teeth when I came in for the second time. She definitely goes out of her way to get to know her patients and make them feel comfortable. I am very fortunate for having found them.

My experience with Gentle Dental Brea and Dr. Peter B. Tafesh was extremely concerning and fell far…read morebelow the professional and ethical standards that patients have the right to expect. I was not informed in advance that treatment could not be performed on the same day. This was only disclosed after the examination and presentation of the treatment plan. I was also not informed that my prior X-rays might have been sufficient, and new radiographs were taken without clearly explaining whether they were necessary. After learning that treatment would require a second appointment, I declined the proposed treatment and withdrew my consent. Despite this, the office still submitted claims to my insurance company and later sent billing statements. This raised serious concerns regarding transparency and billing practices. Equally troubling, I later discovered that my dental record contained inappropriate and disparaging comments unrelated to clinical care. Medical records should be factual, objective, and professional. Including subjective or demeaning remarks about a patient is unprofessional and inconsistent with ethical standards of dental practice. In addition, my record noted limited English proficiency, yet no interpreter or adequate explanation was provided to ensure informed consent. Patients have the fundamental right to clear communication, informed consent, accurate medical records, and ethical treatment. Unfortunately, my experience at this office did not meet those basic standards. At the same time,my experience at Gentle Dental Brea was deeply disappointing and unprofessional. During my visit, I was repeatedly presented with multiple expensive treatment recommendations that were clearly not covered by insurance. These procedures would have required significant out-of-pocket payment. I was given the strong impression that these costly options were being promoted without sufficient explanation of medical necessity or alternatives. When I declined these treatments, the doctor 's attitude toward me changed noticeably. Instead of respecting my decision as a patient, I later found that my dental record described me as "rude." This was shocking and completely inappropriate. A patient has the absolute right to accept or decline any proposed treatment, especially when it involves substantial personal expense. Labeling a patient negatively in their medical record simply because they declined costly, non-covered procedures is unprofessional and raises serious concerns about the office's ethics and respect for patient autonomy. Patients should never feel pressured into expensive treatments or be treated disrespectfully for making informed financial and medical decisions. Based on my experience, I strongly advise others to exercise caution and carefully evaluate any recommended treatments, especially those requiring significant out-of-pocket costs.
