Brought my kids to get there check up, the xray tech/ hygienist was super friendly and made my Kids feel Comfortable. read more

This was our first experience here and my 22-month-old's first dentist appointment. The employees were all very sweet, worked wonderfully with her, and even gave her a cute toy afterward. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because, although we were seated quickly, we weren't seen for 45 minutes. It seemed like there was only one dentist on staff. Once we were seen, the dentist was great, but expecting a toddler to sit still for 45 minutes is difficult. Also, the back area where we were seated was very hot. The air conditioning wasn't working, and we were back there for over an hour, which made the wait even more uncomfortable. read more

My daughter received a fluoride burn after her treatment. Im not sure how this could even happen, but we were not warned of the dangers of fluoride - google it! Also, the dentist we saw barely spoke English and didn't communicate more than 2 words. I was also mistreated by the front office staff. My appointment was at 9:30 and I arrived 5 minutes late. The receptionist with the septum piercing got sassy with me and told me to try to arrive earlier next time and that I was "approaching the end of my 15-minute grace period". I reminded her that my appointment was at 9:30 and that it was only 9:35. She never admitted her mistake or apologized. Instead, she proceeded to ask for my ID and appointment card. We will not be coming back. This just happened yesterday, July 3, 2026. The burn peeled on my daughter's nose, she is in pain and I need to call her physician. read more

See all

They never call you back for appointments even after you provided them with insurance.

We've been coming here for over a year and have had an amazing experience here with our almost 5 year old. They're open weekends which is perfect. They also saw our kid immediately for an urgent tooth issue. The dentists and staff are great with kids. They got our kid to sit and successfully take x rays and he's not scared of the dentist anymore. When he had recent tooth pain he actually asked to come to the dentist and asked for this place by name lol. read more

Great experience every time. I've been bringing my daughter her since she was 3. Definitely would recommend

This picture was from a visit from my son from a few years ago. We are currently in the waiting room waiting to be seen. The representatives are always so welcoming the quality of service that they give is a perfect for a child read more

Yep, one of the best places I've been to i'm the best server I ever had come here. Universal too. This place is amazing. Come here. Best service I've ever had. Amen. read more

It was such a great experience. It was friendly, nice, and professional. My son and I had a great experience here.

Everyone was really great with both of my kids and they loved being able to pick out their choice of a toy reward at the end of the visit! Both of them did an x-ray & teeth cleaning. Also efficient with forms I needed for school. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but the experience was disappointing. I had a scheduled appointment and still had to wait over 30 minutes because they needed to sort out something with my insurance -- something that should have been taken care of before my appointment. I was patient about the delay, but what bothered me most was the lack of communication. I had to go up to the front desk myself to ask for an update -- no one checked in or explained what was going on. It's also frustrating to see people who arrived after me being called in first. When you're there with your child, that kind of disorganization just adds stress. Save yourself the hassle -- go somewhere else. You and your child deserve a better experience read more

My son needed to be seen right away for a broken tooth. The office associates were so kind and generous to his needs especially with him being Autistic they knew how to keep him calm and the procedure of removing his broken tooth went smooth. I truly recommend Children's Happy Teeth in La Mirada. read more

If you have a child that is nervous for the dentist and cries definitely DO NOT take them here, if treatment is needed they will refuse treatment unless you pay over $1,000 and make an appointment at an office 45 minutes further that is only available ONCE a month for IV sedation I was turned away TWICE for treatment because my child was crying, he was able to get an extraction done and a crown at an emergency dentist where I paid cash while crying and this place refuses such a joke for being a "children's" dentist. If you go here make sure your child has perfect teeth read more

I am extremely disappointed with both the pediatric and orthodontic departments at this office. The front desk staff in pediatrics are very rude and unprofessional, with no manners or customer service skills at all. As for the orthodontic department, they seem very money-hungry. I was quoted extremely high prices and felt pressured and pushed into expensive treatment. I went elsewhere and found much cheaper quotes, and the new office actually works with my insurance and is trying to make it affordable. This office is very pushy and does not make you feel comfortable or cared for. I have been bringing my four kids here since they were babies my oldest is now 14 and honestly, I've never truly been happy with this place. We only stayed because it was familiar and close to our home. This will be the last time I bring my children here. I do not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I've been bringing my daughter here for three years. We drive a long distance and our time is valuable. We had a confirmed 11 a.m. appointment--with text messages to prove it--but the front desk insisted it was at 12 p.m., refused to take us at 11, and expected us to wait an hour. They need far better accountability and staff to manage scheduling properly. Another parent arrived shortly after with the exact same issue. This was extremely disappointing--we won't be returning. read more

The whole team is always so helpful and sweet from checking in to answering any questions I may have if they don't know the exact answer they find out and let me know. read more

Will not be returning here. Waited over 50 mins in waiting room, always loud and overcrowded.

Amazing doctor Buhmi! I have a 4 yr old that had a dental trauma injury on a Sat evening. Was able to get in 1st thing Monday morning and Dr. Bumming was AMAZING! I am so grateful that their r still doctors who truly n genuinely care for the well being of their patients. She did a thorough exam, she gave me great referrals to follow up with. No satisfied with that she called me after I had left n redirected me to faster service at UCLA ER bc of the possibility of needing an oral surgeon n further trauma to her jaw. This doctors call of sending me there although an extremely long wait, was worth it bc I was able to get my child a CT scan n seen by an oral surgeon an pediatric dentist. Within the 24-48 hrs of my daughters accident she had seen 4-6 specialists! I am so grateful n thankful that Dr. Bumming was able to genuinely care for my child's well being!!! read more

This facility has horrible communication! My daughter broke her front tooth in a trauma accident they sent me on a goose chase, made me several apts, referred me to the wrong facilities, and all together wasted 3 weeks of my time just to cancel my daughters procedure 2 hours before on the day of and to tell me that they couldn't even provide that procedure at that location. THEN WHY DID YOU JUST MAKE ME WASTE ALL THIS TIME!? Will never bring my kids back here. You can speak with 4 different people and they will all tell you something completely different. read more

Love this place! My kids have been coming here for 3 years already and they love it. They look forward to coming and choosing a toy at the end of the visit. read more

Wonderful first visit! We brought our 8 month old baby here. The space was very welcoming, from the colorful walls to the seasonal decor. The staff was professional and friendly. We were checked-in and seen by the dentist in a short amount of time. Our baby had her first check-up and teeth cleaning (and a small prize for surviving the ordeal!) We were provided in-depth guidance on how to care for baby teeth and scheduled for next visit. All in all, it was a smooth and reassuring visit. They made the whole process look easy! We're so grateful. 10/10! read more

I had a very unprofessional experience at my child's dentist yesterday, Monday afternoon. I went with my wife, but this visit was far from normal. I witnessed two front desk staff members having a verbal conflict. One of the ladies had blonde hair and was wearing a black mask. It took her an hour just to check us out and tell me to "call back to schedule treatment." Unfortunately, I don't remember her name. I observed the blonde-haired lady yelling at another colleague, which caused the other front desk staff member to leave in a panic, overwhelmed by the situation. I looked around at other parents to see if they could confirm the level of drama and unprofessionalism that was occurring. It was unbelievable. Due to this horrible experience, I registered my child with another pediatric dentist today. You need to do better! Don't belittle your workers and ensure your team is properly trained in their job duties. read more

I've been taking my son here for years now my daughter, always a great atmosphere and lovely staff !

This office has disappointed me beyond belief. They seem to be money hungry and will charge your insurance a ridiculous amount for little to no work. My oldest had an ortho consultation back in Oct/Nov 2024 and was quoted $6000. Our insurance eventually changed in Feb 2025 so when we went back to start the process in March 2025 we were told over the phone we could begin the process asap only to go to the ortho appt and have my child just seen for a fixed bite plate (and let me add that our dental assistant was verbally arguing with another dental assistant in front of us and every other patient and acted extremely unprofessional) and after going back and forth on when we could return for the most convenient time for my family they charged my insurance $1970 for the very little they saw us that day and still thought it necessary to call me and ask for a payment towards her braces even though we have not been in person to that office since mid March. Please do your research on this establishment. Extremely disappointed. read more

Brought my son in for treatment today, my children have been coming here for YEARS. Highly Recommend. Thank you to Lisa and Dr. Kim for being so patient and kind with my son whom was very very nervous for his treatment. read more

1 star for the long wait time. 30 min or longer wait for few visits here. We arrived early but yet had to wait 30 minutes for a patient who arrived later than us and was probably late for his appointment. I talked to 3 people in the office about this and no one can give me an answer. read more

I bring my kids here for their check ups regularly. They are always nice and attentive. If my kids need work done they usually have an opening with in the same week to get it done. Waiting to be called in is also minimal. Would definitely recommend :) read more

Dr. Lin and Sam were amazing, they were gentle, quick and efficient all the while I felt no pain. They absolutely made sure I was doing just fine. *message approved by mom* read more

They are so behind in their appointment times, double book and do NOT VALUE. Their patients time. I wait over 25 minutes so they can complete morning huddle and recap. This should be done before the offices open. If you make an appointment for your patients BE ON TIME--especially if they are! read more

I've had parents ask me, how do you get your kids to like going to the dentist.. I say... "we have a great dental office, Children's Happy Teeth" TY team! Also, they always have great dentist working but today they had a new Dentist Dr. Diaz (I didn't know he was new) I asked them to schedule my kids with him every time.. he was a very good dentist and very informative. You could tell he genuinely cared for the health and well being of our children's teeth. read more

Excellent customer service! Excellent manor of addressing children. They made sure they were explaining every detail to my daughter as well as myself. They asked several key questions to make both of us feel comfortable. Every procedure was explained as they were performed just to ensure there were no surprises. I was very impressed with Dr. Joanne's and Lisa's ability to work together and be there for my daughter! They both were very detailed and explained and encouraged my daughter! Thank you to both of you! I appreciate your kindness and gentleness! read more

Staff and Drs are great. Very clean and organized place. Was in and out faster than anticipated

Took my 5 year old here for the first time today. The staff was super friendly and informative! Her appointment was at 11 and they were able to do her X-rays and a cleaning/ inspection all within 25 minutes. My daughter was so relieved in the end when they told her they were done (she was nervous and expecting it to be a bad experience and it was the opposite!) they even gave her a "No Cavity Club" certificate and she got to pick out a toy on her way out! Thank you Lisa, Margaret, Grace, & Dr. Amy!!! read more

Lisa was very patient with my son and helped him relax during his cleaning and got him prepped to see the Dentist sitting in the chair all by himself for the first time! Thankfully he had someone who was gentle and patient and understanding of him being on the spectrum and having sensory issues, she even turned off the light to help him relax while brushing his teeth. Very appreciative of that! He got his check up and a toy from the Toy Selection after. read more
