    Billing was horrible. Overcharged me on a pre-agreed price and made unauthorized charges to my credit card.

    Most amazing dentist one can find. I have had such an amazing experience over the years. Their…read morestaff is awesome and so personable. Each employee is professional and friendly. I had a work accident where I broke my front teeth and I got in with Dr. Larijani and he went right to work and made magic happen for temporary teeth so I didn't have to suffer and experience a day without great looking teeth. Following that great treatment and experience, I have gone through the entire process of veneers. Stage make a temporary set of teeth, which many people complimented me on! Stage 2 prepare teeth for veneers, and they were so accommodating and thoughtful of me as the patient during this process. Stage 3 veneers, which they were always so eager to listen and make the necessary adjustments during this process. The veneers look so naturally awesome which is all I cared about. I didn't want them to look fake! They truly went above and beyond to make the teeth look perfect! Dr. Larijani I cannot thank you enough and all of the staff, you guys are so amazing!!! I will continue to come to this office as a forever client!!

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR DENTAL WORK AND THOROUGH CLEANING…read more Dr. C and Dr. L along with their highly skilled hygienists and sweet staff, really set the bar high. I come from Pasadena to get my teeth cleaned or treated and it's worth every mile! I always leave feeling cleaner, lighter, and just happier that my gums are happier. Shannon, the very talented hygienist I've been going to for the last 20+ years truly knows how to make me feel as comfortable as possible during a deep cleaning session. I've honestly tried to get my teeth cleaned in Pasadena but no other practice can deliver the way Dana Point Dental does. Thank you, Dana Point Dental for helping me maintain my health with healthy gums and teeth!

    My husband had a toothache and our dentist had retired. I called Dr Brineys office and they…read morescheduled him that day. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Dr Briney is very nice, he took the time to explain the situation and answer any questions. Thank you for being our next family dentist.

    I had a floating silver filling that raspberry seeds and blackberry seeds used to get caught on…read more Dr Briney fixed it! I was welcomed by a sophisticated, waiting room and the front staff. The front desk sat me in one of their comfy dental chairs in their dental areas. The beautiful dental assistant, Shy, asked me a few questions. Then she took photos of my loose filling from the top view and the side view Then in came the doctor with the numbing paste and eventually the needle with the anaesthetic. Other dentists would have jabbed my gums by the tooth 3-4 times I only felt 1 jab and jolt when Dr. Briney did it. I forgot to breathe, and didn't notice until Shy said in a calming voice, "take deep breath's in and slowly breathe out." When the shot was done, I asked the doctor 10 minutes later, it had my left jaw, lower left cheek, and the left side if my lip feeling funky! And the high pitched drilling began! Again, Shy gently reminded me to breathe. When I felt a tiny twinge, I let them know, and he paused immediately to check in. He explained that I was feeling the heat from the tool because it was vibrating too fast. He slowed it down, and I didn't feel a thing for the rest of the procedure! He removed all the decay that occurred under the loose filling then replaced it with filling that closely resembled my tooth's color! Mind you, both the doctor and his dental assistant were walking me through each step, to ease my anxiety. Before I knew it, my tooth was cleaned and filled! That night, when the anesthetic wore off, I noticed my new filling was hitting before the rest of my teeth. I left them a phone message asking to be seen the next day. The next morning, I was notified that I was on their schedule. I got in, and was seen immediately. I did the tap-tap-tap-grind with that paper thingy. He drilled for a second. I tap-tapped on the paper again, another half a second of drilling, and VOILA! I know have my normal bite, and I can chew on that side with no pain or seeds getting stuck in it anymore! I used the front camera on my phone, which is why it looks like I'm pointing to my right.

The care and compassion demonstrated here changed how I look at dental care. I am now more than happy to come here for all my dental needs! Especially Terri who has been my hygienist for 10 years plus. Save ld my smile from years of neglect due to fear.

    Finally found a dental office I can wholeheartedly trust. This was genuinely the best dental…read moreexperience I've ever had. I usually get a lot of anxiety when going to the dentist, but the moment I walked in I was greeted with a warm welcome and felt completely at ease. The entire team was so kind, professional, and attentive. The week before, I had gone to a different office where I felt anxious the entire time and was aggressively pushed into a long list of unnecessary treatments (teeth whitening, fluoride, treatment, antibiotics, and a crown).. so I decided to get a second opinion. In contrast, Dr. Kelly was refreshingly honest and transparent. He explained what he recommended without any pressure, and in the end I only needed one filling redone. He did an amazing job--I no longer have any pain or sensitivity, and I can finally eat comfortably again. What really impressed me was the level of genuine care. After my appointment, Dr. Kelly personally called me once the numbing had worn off just to check in and make sure I was doing well. No other dentist has ever done that for me, and it meant so much. From start to finish, the experience was calm and even relaxing--the AMAZING ocean view from the chair felt more like a spa than a dental office! It's clear this practice truly cares about both their patients and the community, which explains why they've built such a loyal following over the years. I also want to highlight Sandy Barker, who was incredibly kind and checked on me throughout my visit. I'll be recommending this office to my entire family. 10/10, without a doubt!
