Every time I walk in, I feel genuinely cared for, and every time I leave, my teeth feel incredibly clean. Tu has completely changed the way I think about dental care. She takes the time to explain everything about my gums and oral health, making me feel comfortable and informed instead of overwhelmed. She's so gentle but thorough, and I can really tell how much she cares about her patients. My gums have improved so much since seeing her, and I've noticed a huge difference in how healthy and clean my teeth feel after every visit. Dr. Kamalavich himself is also fantastic!! he runs a practice that feels welcoming, professional, and organized. The entire team is friendly, and the atmosphere is so positive that I actually look forward to my appointments (something I never thought I'd say about the dentist!). I truly love this place. It's rare to find a dental office that feels like home, but that's exactly what this one does for me. Thank you to Dr. Kamalavich and Tu for always going above and beyond I couldn't recommend them more! Thank you guys so much!!! :)

Laguna Family Dentistry is the dental office for my family for life. Last summer (2018), Dr. Alex…read moreKalmanovich did a beautiful job with my son's teeth, after years of neglect. I chose Dr. Selina Sarno because one of her mentors at UCLA was the dentist who built a few bridges in my mouth in the mid 1980s. We were trying to wait 12 months on several repairs to allow dental insurance waiting periods to elapse. (Recommend getting dental insurance). However, one of my old fillings fell out leaving half a tooth. Dr. Sarno saw me that same day & created a beautiful permanent crown while I was in the chair. No painful aftermath. Within these last 2 weeks, Dr. Sarno removed one of the old bridges (3-teeth) to repair underlying tooth decay. I left that day with a temporary bridge, but it broke 4 days later while I was chewing. Dr. Kalmanovich saw me within 90 minutes on a Friday to confirm that the temporary bridge was broken. He built a new temporary bridge. And I was out of the office within a hour. I am an eye surgeon forced to retire early because of complications from arthritis medications. I have undergone multiple eye surgeries, spinal fusions, shoulder & knee surgeries, etc. With good clinical outcomes, fortunately. I trust my instincts when finding a doc. Of course, I'm afraid of the dentist, esp with all the old dental work. This is what I experienced: Dr. Sarno is gentle, enthusiastic, comfortable & very skilled with each procedure she has done for me so far. When Dr. Kalmanovich removed the broken bridge & built a new temporary, he was professional, friendly, very skilled & quick. As a patient, I trust in their judgement & skills completely. The Laguna Family Dentistry office gang is professional in an informal friendly way. They are all skilled & comfortable with what they do, helping with insurance stuff or doing stuff to my mouth in the dental chair. I most enthusiastically recommend both Dr. Sarno & Dr. Kalmanovich to anyone.

Doctor Park is nothing short of incredible. I have always had a lot of anxiety around dentistry and…read moremy fear caused me to neglect my teeth for decades. Now in my 30's that neglect was really beginning to catch up with me and I knew I had to bite the bullet and go in. The first dentist I went to told me I needed a root canal and 4 crowns. I left in tears, I couldn't believe how badly I'd messed up in my younger years. I read through the treatment plan and noticed that the root canal in question was for a cavity that had not reached the pulp, but was close. I started researching to see if a root canal could be avoided. I went to another dentist for a second opinion, who told me I needed a root canal and two crowns. I went to a third dentist that basically said the same. It looked like I wasn't getting out of this without having a root canal - nobody could save my tooth. Then I found Doctor Park. In late January she squeezed me in for a late afternoon appointment to evaluate me. She listened to my concerns and told me that it is definitely possible that a root canal would be needed - she wouldn't know until she got in there to see how bad the infection was, but that she would try to save the tooth if it was a possibility. Aside from that, I needed one other crown and the rest could be standard fillings. She gently told me that I have a lot of work to be done, and she provided me with a treatment plan. She was the first dentist who was willing to look at my situation inquisitively to see what could be done for me, and that day I decided this would be my new dentist. My first appointment for the potential root canal and crown I was so anxious. Literally shaking and twitching in the chair. Doctor Park was so gentle with me. She spoke soothingly and assured me throughout the entirety of the procedure. I left that day with two crowns. She saved my tooth from needing a root canal when nobody else could. She was also able to save me from needing 3 to 5 crowns like the other dentists had recommended. From then on I had an appointment every few weeks to work on other quadrants of my mouth. Each appointment I became less and less anxious, knowing I was in good hands. After a few appointments I began having a TMJ flare up simply due to keeping my mouth open so frequently for the work. I expressed this to her and for my final appointment she checked in with me often and had me close my mouth any time she didn't need it open wide. I still left with TMJ pain but that's just what happens with TMJ, and is no fault of the dentist whatsoever. I ended up getting a script from my primary care physician to relax the tense muscles and now a few days after my last procedure I am good as new and no longer need medications. At my last appointment Doctor Park smiled, high fived me, and exclaimed "we're done!" When I decided in January that I needed to bite the bullet and get my dental work handled after all these years, I never dreamed that by early April I'd be a new woman with a fresh smile. I would recommend Doctor Park to anyone. My husband, who has a similar past dental situation and dental anxiety to me, will be heading to her soon now that he's seen what a positive experience I've had. Doctor Park saved my tooth, and helped me through years of dental anxiety. Go see her, you won't regret it.

The BEST! Relaxed and comfortable the moment I walked in. The only Dentist my teenage boys go to with out any scowl or voice of opposition, especially after repeat visits for cavities. After going to a dentist for years that was "recommended" by my insurance, my younger son developed a couple of crooked teeth. That place only provided two options, an expensive set of braces, and an even more expensive option that I never entertained. Thank god we found Dr. Nichols, he examined my son and, patiently explained all the options in way a that I felt extremely comfortable. He recommended a retainer that has quickly corrected his teeth! After 18 months without my own dental visit, I had the privilege of having my long over due examination and cleaning. I was completely blown away with Dr. Nichols thorough explanation of everything from X-rays, measurements and overall examination . I have never felt more at ease and comfortable at a dentist office than here at Dr. Dana Nichols. Everything from the wonderful office manager and staff, to the meticulously clean and organized office, I will never go to another dental practice, this is the HOLY GRAIL of dentistry! read more

A friend suggested i look to see if ADC takes my dental insurance, the suggestion came from my outspoken fear and frustration of dentistry, my first thought was its to far from my house and they're probably gonna treat me like cattle rush me in and shove me out, and leave my mouth hurting.........I have never been so wrong!!!!! The girls in the front were extremely kind, and comforting with me while doing x-rays......... so far so good!!......the Hyginst was so thorough and gentle, i felt relaxed and taken care of, then i met Dr.Nichols....seriously this is the kind of doctor you only see on TV, he was so informative, Showed me all my possible options, and just made me feel welcome and taken care of. So yeah its a long drive for me......but would drive twice what i do, because ADC has my business for life. Thank you guys for making feel comfortable, relaxed, welcome, and taken care of. read more

Dr. Nichols and his friendly staff delivered an A1 experience. I tend to hold back when making appointments for dental work. I have experienced a few different dental offices throughout the Laguna beach area and Dr. Nichols will consistently see me back in their chair. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with friendly smiles from Carol & Amy. This was my first appointment for a cleaning and Dr. Nichols made a point to greet me first thing at 8:00am to welcome me to the office. My cleaning with Carol was superb with her gentle touch. I usually have my toes curled inside my shoes wishing to get the hell out. But with Carol she was friendly made me laugh and most Important made me feel comfortable at all times. This is a great dental office with even better staffing; oh and they hooked it up with a Starbucks gift card at the end of my appointment. I will be back! read more

Dr. Nichols is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, which is quite apparent from one's first interaction with him. His background as a dental assistant in the Air Force years ago led to a life-long dedication to the dental profession, as evidenced by his returning to formal schooling to obtain his DDS and subsequent post-graduate training. Further, and perhaps more importantly, he is kind, gentle (especially for such a strikingly tall man with large hands!!), self-assured, and he uses excellent judgment in making clinical assessments and treatment recommendations. Laguna Beach is most fortunate to have Dr. Nichols in our midst! I have had several dentists in the past 10-15 years, and Dr. Nichols clearly shines above the rest. read more

Dr Dana Nichols has a new dental practice at the corner of Park Ave and Glenneyre St. Right at my 1st visit I was impressed both with his expertise and his great communicating skills. He tells you what is going to happen, when, and how it's going to happen. His staff is also excellent. His equipment is very modern - instant x-rays and photos appear on the computer screen in front of you. Since then I've had two regular cleanings, and several fillings and crowns. He made quick work to repair a broken tooth. I have since recommended Dr Nichols to my wife and her friend who like his practice and who had both stopped treatment by a former dental practice at that location. So I highly recommend Dr Nichols to anyone in Orange County. read more

Dr. Nichols is an awesome dentist and has a wonderful chair side manner. He is a very kind and gentle soul and his expertise in dentistry is amazing.

I was there for a 2nd extraction (the first went textbook). As a patient for all these years, he (and staff) knows I am just one of those patients who needs more than one (sometimes 3) shot of Novocain. Apparently that day he just didn't care. After he administered the first shot, waited the standard time for it to kick in, I wasn't numb. I looked him straight in the eye and said, "I'm not numb." While scratching the left side of my face. He said, "I'll give you a different shot directly into the tooth and we won't have to wait." The second that shot went in I gave a noticeable YELP and he continued. Grabbed his instrument and began to yank. Mind you this is a very large molar. I YELPED (as best I could with his hands in my mouth) very loudly. He grabbed my shoulder and said, "You can't do that!" Excuse me, I can't indicate my PAIN? I was in shock. I'm the patient, your ONLY priority right now. There was no apology. When I said (as best I could with a mouth full of gauze) "that hurt", he replied, "that was your tooth ripping from the jawbone." I thought, this guy is CRAZY. I started to question myself, my pain and sadly, did I deserve this? Maybe he was mad that he couldn't talk me into (bully) the $2K repair and only got $18 out of me? 15 years as a loyal patient, I recommended him to my friends and FAMILY. Please do NOT go to this man for anything. I'm so sorry to anyone who has endured his carelessness, aggression and bullying.
