Hands down Dr. Bae is the best! I am typically very leery of dentist; however, Dr, Bae has calmed my nerves for a lifetime. He's caring, compassionate, and very precise and honest regarding his practice. I've referred him to all my close friends and family and always will. Thanks Dr. Bae for my wonderful smile and new outlook on Dentistry!! read more

Dr. Bae is usually booked out 3+ weeks and I can see why! He did a fantastic, thorough job with my teeth even though I hadn't been to a dentist in nearly 2 years. I could tell he used quite a bit of force to remove the build up of tartar, but it didn't hurt one bit. Dr. Bae and his staff are super friendly and genuinely care for your well being. Out of all the dentists I've been to (5), I definitely learned the most from Dr. Bae. He spent extensive time working with me himself as opposed to other dentists that pop in for a minute but leave all the work to the hygienist. I left more than satisfied and look forward to my future visits! read more

With a wedding coming up in 2 weeks I knew I should've made this appointment sooner but Dr. Bae was more than accommodating given my short timeline. I had some yellowing and chipping here and there that never bothered me too much but for my wedding, I definitely wanted everything to be in the best possible condition. Dr. Bae basically saw me during his lunch hour and despite being fully booked, did not rush through the procedure and made sure to get me the best results. His chairside manner is very laid back yet informative, not once did I wonder what was going on. I finished in just under and hour and love my smile more than ever now! I am a designer and am very particular when it comes to aesthetics and Dr. Bae did not disappoint. Very steady hands and excellent aesthetic results. I have to replace an old filling that fell out over a year ago, and I can say with confidence that I will be returning to Dr. Bae. read more

Because of Dr. Bae and this office, I went from avoiding the dentist to looking forward to seeing the dentist. That sounds odd, but it is true. Everyone there is helpful, professional, knowledgeable, and kind. I very much recommend Dr. Bae and Cornerstone Dental. read more

Excellent Dentist and staff . Dr Bae is a true professional, ethical excellent Dentist . His staff is excellent as well . We are so happy to have found such a great Dentist . Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great Dentist that cares read more

First off, I should point out that I am deathly afraid of going to the dentist. Having had only not-great experiences in the past and generally finding that most dentists don't have any chair-side manners--some no manners at all---I avoided them like the plague. Cornerstone Dental Care has really changed that for me. Even though I went into my first appointment hyperventilating with fear, I was really put at ease by the friendly staff and then by Dr. Bae. The office is all state of the art but even better than that is the actual care and personal attention that is given to you. Dr. Bae is meticulously thorough but also really patient in showing you your x-rays, explaining what is going on with your teeth and what needs to be done. The teeth cleaning I got here is the best I've had and even the root canal that had to be done wasn't so bad at all. Seriously. You can always tell when dentists or any others in the medical field are in it for the money. Dr. Bae is certainly not one of them. He genuinely cares for people's teeth and just wants everyone to have proper dental care and good dental health. Plus, his staff is really awesome, too. I can guarantee you that you will be so happy with the care here. read more

I've been spending a lot of time lately trying to find a new dentist, specifically one that specializes in orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry. After numerous hours spent trying to find the right one, I had a really good feeling about Dr. Bae at Cornerstone Dental Care when I found his website and Yelp reviews. I realized very quickly that Dr. Bae is in very popular demand and it was initially difficult to get a last minute appointment within my preferred time frame. Imagine my surprise and delight that Amber (the OM) went above and beyond to work with my scheduling preference so I wouldn't miss much time from work. She was so patient, courteous and helpful and gave me a call as soon as they had an earlier date/slot available. Dr. Bae himself even gave me a call the day before my appointment to introduce himself and his availability in case I had any questions and concerns. WHO DOES THAT?!? I've never in my life met a dentist and his staff who have gone out of their way to that degree. I was very impressed and appreciative. Flash forward to the my appointment date (today). Every patient seemed so content there (this is a dentist's office, right???). I didn't wait long at all. Every staff member I met was so nice, caring and professional: from greeting to cleaning, x-rays to consult. Susan, the RDH, walked me through every single step during my cleaning so I knew exactly what was going on. Dr. Bae stayed later to go through a thorough and complete consultation with me. Because of him, I feel like I'm starting a new chapter and am so excited and absolutely elated about the possibilities of the work that can be done to improve my smile. Thank you Dr. Bae and your wonderful staff. You've given me a whole new perspective on going to the dentist and I would recommend you to anyone. read more

Cornerstone Dental was my BEST dental experience ever! Dr. Bae and his staff are extremely professional and courteous. I felt like they genuinely cared about my comfort and well being. The office has the latest technology and that made the experience even better. Dr. Bae is also GREAT with kids and my young daughters feel totally comfortable with him. I recommend him to everyone I know! If you're looking for a new dentist, try Dr. Bae. You won't be disappointed! read more

Dr. Bae is the real deal. I'm a Baeliever. Just got some fillings done. My face is numb. His technique in putting in shots to numb my face (three of them) resulting in minimal to no pain. Excellent. I was skeptical about all the 5 star ratings he receives, but after you go in, you'll be a Baeliever too. read more

Having gone here 3 times now, these are far and away the best dental experiences I've ever had. They take their time to explain & make sure you understand each step in the process of your treatment, financials, & future plans. The facility is clean from the front office, treatment areas, & bathrooms. Dr Bae & the hygienist Angelika are absolutely delightful people to deal with. Because of their impeccable service & high rating on yelp, Cornerstone Dental is booked up solid usually for quite some time. So please take that into account when you are booking your appointment with them. read more

I was terrified of dentist!!! But @ Cornerstone Dental, I had the BEST experience ever!!! Dr. Thomas Bae and his staff are extremely professional and courteous. I felt like they genuinely cared about my needs. It's now been a little over a year that I've been coming to Dr. Bae and I'm just as happy as I was on my first visit. If you ever had a bad experience... they will make it go away! I highly recommended Dr. Bae to my friends, family, clients and anyone who is in need for a Great dentist! read more

Overdue review for a wonderful dentist! When I moved to Orange County I knew I had to find a great dentist. I've had a lot of dental work done in the past (root canals, jaw surgery, crowns etc.) and it was very important for me to find a dentist that did great work. Dr. Bae definitely delivers! He is so smart and actually takes the time to explain all procedures he does (and why he recommends them) and will expertly answer any questions you may have. He is very skillful and all the procedures I've had in his office have been virtually pain free! Furthermore, he takes a conservative treatment approach; he will not recommend any procedures unless they are actually necessary. This in particular was very important to me. I recently got my crowns redone by Dr. Bae and every step of the process went great. They look wonderful and I couldn't be happier with the result! Additionally, Dr. Bae's hygienists and office staff are beyond wonderful. Everyone (including Dr. Bae) will get back to you quickly with any questions or concerns. Whether you are just a two times a year teeth cleaning person (like my husband) or have a little more complicated of a situation (like myself) you will love Dr. Bae. I can't recommend him highly enough. All the 5 star reviews are well deserved. read more

It's hard to put a short review for Cornerstone Dental Care, but here it goes: Parking: plenty available every time I visited. Office: Very Clean, TV/ movies, comfortable chairs, ....etc Receptionist: Very nice young lady, welcoming and friendly. I had a lot of work to be done in a very short time, but she worked her magic and voila! Dr. Bae: He introduced himself as Thomas! Very down to earth guy. He gave me all the time I needed and his full attention to me to explain what mygoalsare,then he explained what will need to be done to meet those goals. This was the first time, a dentist didn't make me feel uncomfortable by telling me how bad my teeth are. Like mentioned by other reviewers, this guy is not in this business to get rich he actually like his job and cares a lot about his patients. I posted a photo of his work here. Dr. Bae gave me a better solution (my previous dentist thought it can't be done) for a fraction of the cost. Zero pain, even when he injected the numbing agent and when he pulled out my cracked wisdom tooth. Honestly, these folks exceeded my expectations, which is very hard to do with me. The challenge now is to convince my family that there is a much better dentist in Brea then the one they used for years. read more

See all

I'd have to say, Dr. Bae is one of the nicest dentists around. Today I went back to his office since last year. I initially went in for an Invisalign consult, and he took the time to explain everything. He's very patient and helps you be at ease. I have had a little bit of a bad experience with previous dentist treatments. But even though I haven't done dental work yet, I already feel comfortable going through with the procedure. The office staff is super awesome as well. I just felt like I came out of a getting a massaahhhge. You know, those good vibrations? Oh, I think if they were to give you a chair massage, that will definitely be a bonus. I'm going to show my patriotism and give them five stars. The blue is being true. read more

Seriously, I love Cornerstone Dental Care. BEST STAFF EVER. I've been a patient at Cornerstone since 2012. I've since moved out of state and make appointments whenever I come home to southern California because I trust these people with my life. Just kidding. I trust them with my teeth. There's a big difference. Anyway, I've had my fair share of work done with Dr Bae and his staff... from standard cleanings, to fillings, to enamel work, to root canals ... we've gone through a lot together. My last visit was only supposed to be my 6 month routine check-up and surprise, surprise, I had to get extra work done. Unfortunately, I was in town only for a very short period of time and wasn't planning on coming back for at least 5 months. Well Dr. Bae was AWESOME enough to work harder and through his lunch break to accommodate me! I mean, he skipped his lunch. He must have been hangry while fixing me up. That's dedication to your patients. The staff is so friendly, knowledgable, personable, and professional. They are the best. Just come here and you will forget all other dentists exist. read more

What can I say besides remarkable? A truly wonderful experience from the minute I walked through the door. Nikki at the front desk was incredibly professional, pleasant and eager to please. In for a routine cleaning I had Angelica as my hygienist. Very, very good at her job explaining exactly what she was doing step by step through the process. She noticed a couple of issues during my cleaning and gave Dr. Bae the heads up. I was so surprised after first meeting Dr. Bae as he spent several minutes with me discussing his concept of dentistry as an approach to total health rather than a quick fix. After reviewing my x-rays and doing a thorough examination we discussed a strategy by which to solve the problems he discovered. Rather than try and do everything at once, (which can be especially overwhelming.) he prioritized based on need. I truly can't say enough about this place. Every single person here seemed deeply concerned about insuring you have the best experience possible. I would happily recommend this place to anyone seeking a caring, professional and almost enjoyable, (come on it's the dentist,) experience. read more

Best dentist on the planet..... His people skills are only matched by his work ethic. The whole cornerstone dental group is on top of things and always make you feel like your part of a family. read more

First things first, if you make an appointment here, let's say at 10a, your going to be seen by the hygienist or Dr Bae himself within a few seconds, they are amazingly punctual. But since they are so awesome, appointments are made pretty far in advance. Besides cleanings, I have had 3 silver fillings replaced with white fillings, one was broken/chipping but the others were replaced for cosmetic reasons. I literally did not feel any pain when Dr Bae was replacing my fillings, even the broken one! I've honestly had worse pain at "routine cleanings" at other offices. It's not just Dr Bae that's awesome, every member of his staff is amazing, from the ladies answering the phones to the dental hygienists, It doesn't matter what you read here, go try him for yourself you'll understand why everyone gives this place 5 stars. I literally recommend this place to any and everyone I can. read more

Dr Bae has been the most caring and tentative dentist I've ever come across! His staff, and overall quality of the office is superb. I should have been coming here my entire life! Life long customer now, dr Bae continues to show his professionalism every time i walk into Cornerstone! Thanks for all! read more

This review is a long time coming. I can simply say all of the reviews rated at 5 stars reflect the same experiences I had, but I must add my own 2 cents: To start, Dr. Bae's staff is WONDERFUL! Each person is warm, welcoming and most importantly helpful. That being said, even if they weren't nice, even if getting an appointment was impossible, even if I had to wait for an hour in the waiting room (none of which would ever happen here) I would STILL have Dr. Bae as my dentist. Dr. Bae is only the second dentist I have been to in my entire life. My previous dentist took care of me, literally, from the time my first tooth came in until I moved to California 4 years ago. As you can imagine, I had a strong rapport with my dentist and a significant level of comfort. It is astonishing, that in the first 5 minutes of speaking with Dr. Bae, I had that very same level of comfort with him as I did with my dentist of 28 years! From a professional standpoint, he is thorough, intelligent and genuinely listens to what you say. He is kind, warm and very relate-able. I cannot say enough about this man and the confidence that I have in him as my dentist. During my last visit, I begged him to go to medical school so he could be my primary care physician too. He is truly someone that all healthcare practitioners should benchmark themselves against. A+!! read more

Today, I got an old, cracked silver filling replaced with a white filling and I was SOOO nervous because I haven't gotten major filling work done in over a decade! This is not a weee little filling, it's a huge filling in one of my molars. The assistants knew I was nervous and they were letting me know that the procedure will be quick and simple for Dr. Bae and of course it was just what they said. Just theeee best staff and Dr. Bae is a natural in his work! Now I can breathe (and chew on my right side) again! read more

How disappointing... Called to make first time patient appointment. In a lot of pain, and never have had to have dental work done. Called this location due to their great Yelp reviews. Although come to find out they are way to busy for new patients. They said they couldn't see me tell October. That's over a month away. Then they told me to call another Dentist to be seen earlier. read more

I went for a checkup/cleaning for the first time today and he was the best as the other yelp reviews state. I've never been to a dentist who thoroughly explains every process.. even with a simple cleaning. Maybe it's because I've only been to older Korean dentists who don't bother to explain anything but it was nice to have someone explain everything to make sure I was comfortable. I'm having my first baby in a few months and I know I will be bringing my child to Dr Bae when it's time for her first dentist visit! Also, the facility itself was very nice and clean. His staff were also super nice and accommodating. read more

Dr. Bae is extremely unprofessional. I was asking questions about an upcoming emergency procedure and he completely lost his cool. Raised his voice at me, had an incredibly aggressive tone, accused me of calling him a liar (which I never did) and even shamed me for having previous dental anxiety at an appointment three years ago. No one should be called out for a medical condition that's been diagnosed by a doctor. (General anxiety disorder stemming from childhood cancer). Dr. Bae has a temper and will lose it on you. Don't go to this dentist office. My family will not be coming back. read more

Dr. Bae is the best dentist I have been to in my life ! He is very careful. I have always been afraid of going to the dentist, but ever since I started coming here a few years ago. I haven't been afraid at all! Dr. Bae really cares about you . He is careful and precise. The front desk is also very friendly and inviting. Overall 5 stars because you are the best and I hope to stay here for life. Note: It's a lot harder to get appointments at Cornerstone dental. Especially with working and going to school. I try to schedule in advance but sometimes it doesn't work out. The front desk tries to be very accommodating with your schedule, but it's definitely hard when everyone wants to come here. read more

I have been going to Dr. Bae for year's. I moved 40 minutes away and went to local dentists. No one is like Dr. Bae no one. The drive is soo worth it. I will never go to anyone else. Love the staff and caring experience. read more

I came to get my filling replaced. Dr. Bae was super nice and helpful. He would walk me through each step and explain what he was doing. He offered to take a lot of break so my jaw could rest. Super considerate for a dentist! His staff is very friendly, quick, and are willing to answer any questions you have! :D I would definitely come back for all my future dental work. read more

Cornerstone was awesome: Dr. Bae and all the staff. From the patient setup portal, to the friendly greeting at reception, to all the dental service and follow up. Long story short, I had visited another dentist to fix a toothache I was having and they made it worse! Rather than go back to that same dentist, I decided to drive all the way from Los Angeles to visit Dr. Bae who I had seen once a long time ago. Dr. Bae took the time to review my notes and X-ray from the other dentist, talked through his clinical analysis and recommended procedures, and made me feel confident I knew exactly what the potential problem was and how he was going to treat it. The treatment itself was awesome. I never once had a novocaine injection that went as smoothly as this. I literally felt no pain, not even a pinch because he told me he would take his time with the injection but it would be much more comfortable. I'm sure he could have applied the novocaine hurriedly and move on to the next patient but he didn't and the difference was much appreciated. Dr. Bae also took care of my toothache, after the other doctor said I might have temperature sensitivity forever and possibly need a root canal. I 100% recommend Dr. Bae as a dentist, and having read the one star reviews below, I say he is worth the wait. Guess what? A toothache is not an emergency scenario that entitles you to go ahead of other patients. I have a suggestion for you if you need to wait....chew on the other side! It works pretty well. Good things come to those who wait. read more

I have been there with them for a while now. I did my x ray. Full month clean. And fixed 3 of my broken teeth. I was super nervous about the snoreness and pain during doing my teeth. Since I got horrible dental experience before. However. The doctor and his assistant are so awesome! ! They knew my concerns and numb me every time before they did anything to my teeth. I felt so comfortable. Relaxed with them! ! By the way, their place is super clean and neat. I am starting to do my invisily with them now. Cannot wait to see my perfect teeth! ! read more

Dr. Bae and his staff are the best around. We've been coming here since he opened about four or five years ago. He is friendly, professional, trustworthy, and skilled to provide for all your dental needs. We ended up here after I just could not trust the last place we were at. That place kept recommending services and invasive treatment that i didn't need and I was suspicious when they started making so many treatment plans after noting "you have good insurance." Went to Dr. Bae for a second opinion and we have been here ever since with a bright healthy smile every appointment. He's highly rated for a reason. I would trust no one else with the one set of chops I have. He's is booked well in advance but he is worth the wait. read more

Me: Hi, I have a toothache. When is the earliest I can get in to be seen? Them: The end of September Me: Really? Yeah, I'm pretty sure my toothache isn't going to wait two months. You have nothing sooner? Them: No but we have a great team to assist you when an appointment opens up. Can I take your number just in case? Me: Click! Needless to say, with all of these "five star" reviews you don't need me. I went elsewhere and was seen within a day. read more

Terrific experience. Both Dr. Bae & Kailyn (dental hygienist) were awesome. Honest, skilled, friendly.

Dr Bae is an Absolutely Amazing "miracle worker!" My 6yr old daughter who is deathly afraid of shots (like most of us) had a baby root canal done. Afterward, I asked if it hurt at all and she said "No." Then I asked if Dr Bae gave her a shot, she said "No." I asked Dr Bae and he said "Yes." Absolutely amazing! Where was Dr Bae when I was 6...7, 8, 9, 10...?!? read more

Dr. Bae and his staff at Cornerstone have given me the best dental care I've ever had. He is very professional and up to date with the practice and the use of technology. I love how he takes you through the procedure, telling you exactly what he is doing or about to do. Not only is he thorough with the procedure but he teaches you how to better take care of your teeth at home, so he truly cares. None of my previous dentists really did those so I do have to say he's the BEST dentist I've EVER had. The office is neat and has a clean sleek feel. Kelly is always at the front desk to do all the paperwork, she's awesome and will definitely take care of you. It's a bit of a drive for me to get there from where I live, but it's all worth it. Overall... five stars!!! So if you're looking for a great dentist, I definitely recommend Cornerstone Dental Care with Dr. Bae. read more

Detail and kindness is important and Cornerstone Dental is all across 5 STAR providing it! My family and I have been coming here since 2014. Thanks to all at Cornerstone Dental for your affable service. read more

Very good service and very friendly staff. I always go this dental office. I like this place, I will come back for sure.

I recently moved to Orange County from LA. I've been putting off finding a dentist in the OC area because I love my dentist in LA. After a lot of research I decided to try Cornerstone. There was a reason everyone raves about Dr. Alana and Dr. Bae. I made appointments for myself and my husband. My appointment went smoothly and Dr Alana was attentive and thorough. My husband has a fear of going to the dentist and he actually put off going for several years. It took lots of coaxing and threatening to finally get him in. The staff understood and accommodated his needs. Dr. Alana and Angelica were amazing with his deep cleaning and made him feel comfortable and at ease throughout his appointment. Even though I couldn't get an appointment with Dr. Bae, he personally checked up on any concerns and future treatment plans. It was a nice personal touch. We are very happy we found our dentist family in OC. If you are looking for qualified dental care with a personal touch, cornerstone is the place for you. read more

If you are looking for the best dentist in town, you must give Dr. Bae a call. He's incredibly personable, professional, and gentle. He thoroughly explains procedures and expectations. The office itself is immaculate and warm. You will definitely feel comfortable and at ease with him and his staff. Unfortunately, they don't accept HMO, but if you have PPO insurance you'll definitely want to set up your next appointment with Cornerstone Dental. I'm certain you will not be disappointed. read more

Busy office and tough to get scheduled on short notice, but Dr. Bae and his staff are top notch. Professional, clean, and modern equipment places this office in tier one compared to dentists of yore. read more

Dr. Bae and his staff are amazing! By far the best experience at a dental office EVER!! I've had two visits already, and both were pleasant and pain free. Today I received a new filling and also had an old, cracked filling replaced. Dr. Bae was so great in letting me know all of the steps he was taking, as well as assuring me that it would be pain free, which was my main concern. I absolutely did not feel any pain; not even the needle from the shot!! Not only that, but he is so knowledgeable and easy to talk to! Always smiling and not intimidating at all. I used to hate going to the dentist, but now I can honestly say that I do not mind! Go to Dr. Bae, and I assure you that you will be completely satisfied!! read more
