Another excellent experience! I strongly recommend! This kind of care requires top performance and their services are top notch in my experience! read more

Dr Son is the best! I had an emergency problem yesterday and I was told to come right in. He took care of me and all my pain is gone in one day! The whole staff is incredible and very professional. Love the team there. read more

Amazing staff. Caring, knowledgeable and gentle cleaning. I drive a long way because they are so good. Highly recommend!

Dr. Son just completed six months of dental treatment for me. He removed my 13 mercury fillings, replacing them with porcelain fillings and crowns. He also cleaned up infections in my jaw bone caused by improper treatment when my wisdom teeth were removed and when I had a root canal many years ago. Dr. Son is a S.M.A.R.T. trained Biodental Dentist. He conducted each of my treatments with a deep understanding of naturopathic medicine, ensuring the mercury being removed didn't enter my system, treating the surgery sites with ozone infused water and injections, and suggesting things I could do to ensure healing at home. He also offered a 4-package program of healing injections coupled with time in his on-site hyperbaric chamber. Dr. Son, his dental assistant Yoli and Terry at the front desk are kind, caring and ultimate professionals. Experiencing the complexity of the work they did for me, I'm so pleased that I chose Dr. Son to take care of my dental needs. read more

What a fantastic biological dental practice and staff. I found Dr. Son when I had excruciating tooth pain and wanted a biological dentist to tend to the issue. Ended up needing an implant and decided to do all four wisdom teeth cavitations and redo my fillings. My first procedure I was on edge trembling for no reason. Dr. Son was gentle and I healed extremely fast with very little pain!!! Wow what?? I was expecting a lot worse. My encounter was friendly and informative from the very start. Terry in the front office is very kind and helpful with structuring your procedures and any questions you might have. Dr. Son is the most informative and skilled dentist I've ever had the pleasure seeing. Love the classical music. Yolie (Dr.Son's assistant) will put you at ease if you are nervous, which I was with my first surgery. She has great healing energy. Nikki my hygenist is very gentle and knowledgeable with a glowing smile and radiant energy. For once I feel relaxed and at ease at the dentist. I'm fortunate to have found a dentist practice that I actually look forward to my visits. read more

I have been going to Dr. Son's office for a couple years now. I originally went to have my silver fillings removed. They did an excellent job. That's why I went to him because he practices bio dentistry so I know that my health and safety are high priority. I now continue my care there for cleanings and in the other dental work I might need and their quality and care on top rate. read more

Your eyes will be opened and your life will be changed for the better after experiencing treatment here. I have learned so much. Dr Son and his entire staff are kind, trustworthy and knowledgeable. I have been very uneasy and tense at dental offices in the past, but I feel very comfortable here. I have suffered with painful, breaking, "bad" teeth my entire life, but now, thanks to Dr Son, I look forward to living a life free of tooth pain, free of breaking teeth, for the first time ever. I will forever be grateful for all Dr Son, Terry, Helen and everyone here, have done for me... all the healing I have experienced read more

I have never seen such a rude office receptionist like this one. She made so many mistakes yet when you complainted she took it personal. She talked to patient very condescending and very highness attitude. She must be the dr wife or relative to be able to treat patient like that. I ignored many other review because it is close to home but really have to admit this must be the rudest and unprofessional place I ever come across. Dr is not God. If you treat client like this, you are making money, not you are helping them. So you have no reason to be such a rude person. Updated. Wow. i cannot believe you shifted the blame to me being abusive. And it is not the first review saying the same about her. I post the text message from her here so everyone can see. She was the one started about me being "absurb" and me "acusing the dr while I only said how I was in pain after the procedures". She put the words in to my mouth. Classic case of whatever they are doing and typical case of "projection" in psychology. They (or actually that she) is trying to project to me in the response with their own feeling of "verbally abusive" amd "anger". Did not even know this hebavior can still exist in America, at least in medical field. Previously in the review, I did not even mentioned about how I lived misserable in pain for a month or so. Even after the last treatment I had to go to different place for the pain. I did not want to bring it up. And only complained about your receptionist. I still thought you are a decent doctor for not showing attitude. But it turned out you are the same, maybe you have been holding back. read more

WOW I am so Grateful for my journey with Dr David Son and staff . I was experiencing really bad health plus insomnia. After My Procedure of a Root Canal extraction plus .. My body immediately came to a place of healing and I received my health back. Thank you !!! read more

This is a long overdue review for Dr. Son and his team at Biodental Solutions in Irvine: I became a patient of Dr. Son in May 2021 after a referral from my naturopathic doctor. I was experiencing pain in the front area of my lower jaw and after reviewing my 3d x-ray, it turnt out that I had a severe infection in my jaw bone around two teeth that were previously treated with root canals. After the first shock of realizing I need something done, I was very glad to find myself in the caring hands of Dr. Son, who was able to guide me through all my different options and I eventually decided to get two teeth removed and two zirconia implants placed. The whole process from the first surgery until (removal of teeth) to the final placement of the crowns took almost 10months. But I'm so glad I did it. Dr. Son is a wonderful dentist. I always felt like he had my best interest in mind, which is also why he split the surgery in two appointments (he wasn't able to place the implants right away, due to significant bone loss in my jaw). The procedures were also almost completely free of pain and discomfort. I would feel an occasional pinching here and there, but the moment it happened Dr. Son immediately asked for my well being and numbed the teeth even more. My final crowns were placed about 3 weeks ago. I actually had to come several times for this appointment, because the color of the crowns wasn't perfect at first. But again, Dr. Son did not want to place something in my mouth that he was not 100% confident in. Again, I can tell he really cared and wanted to make sure I'm happy with the result! Well done Dr. Son! I'm glad I found you and I'm now your patient. Also big compliment for his office staff, Terry and the rest of the team! I highly recommend all of them ;D Marius read more

I liked Dr. Son, but Terry at the front desk, is a very difficult person to work with.

I'm so grateful to find Dr. Son. Wow. I actually come from a family of dentists and because they are all 7-8 hours away I needed to find a new one that was closer to me but also it was important to me to find a holistic dentist and boy did I find a great one. I really love everyone that works with him. Terry at the front desk is so kind and truly took the time to answer any and all of my questions. You can tell she cares about health and the health of your teeth just as much as Dr. Son. The consult was 90 minutes and we went over EVERYTHING. He's so knowledgeable, so kind and you can tell he really cares. He really is so professional (as is his team) and very thorough. I align so much him when it comes to health and food and clean ingredients and using clean products, no fluoride etc. The office is also so clean, bright and beautiful with a beautiful view and I had a great teeth cleaning there as well. I'm so happy I found Dr. Son - I can't recommend him enough. If you want to find a great dentist then look no further. read more

Dr.Son's new office is absolutely amazing, not just their top notch equipments and beautiful office with a view but more importantly, Dr. Son's skills and level of knowledge. I've been his patient for many years and had many treatments done including ceramic implants and cavitation surgery. My overall health has improved a lot with good oral care and I am very grateful to Dr. Son and his kind staff. I have been referring my family members and friends to Dr. Son and everyone is extremely happy. read more

David Son, DDS - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Irvine, California

I love this dentist. He is kind, smart, one of the few dentists that is capable of doing what he does. He is a real biological dentist unlike other dentists out there who claim they are biological dentists but are not. I will post another review with 5 stars specifically for Dr. Son when Yelp lets me add another post. It won't let me do it now. This 1 star review is specifically centered at the abuse of power wielded by Terry his receptionist. She is abusive to patients and then acts like a victim by pointing the blame on patient when patients call her out on her bad behavior. Terry is getting away doing this to patients without any consequences and this is why she is so comfortable acting this way. Other patients are likely to intimidated for fear of loosing their relationship with Dr. Son so they let her treat them poorly. Here's 2 examples: #1 - A few weeks ago I came in for a cleaning. I walked in and said I had some questions for the doctor about some issues I am having will Dr. Son take a look after the cleaning. With an attitude she told me no he was too busy with other clients. I said that's ok. (In my mind I understand it makes sense, he is busy with another patient) So I said to her is it ok if I email questions. She just looked at me like what I was saying was annoying her. She didn't really acknowledge my need to get help, she cooly said sure. After my dental cleaning I go to pay. I ask her is it ok to just charge it to my credit card on file. She looks at me and with an attitude says no. I said are you able to keep my credit card on file? She didn't answer that question but said you will have to run your card on the machine. I said ok. At that point I feel like I am not appreciated at all as a client who has spent a lot of money there and was planning on spending more. So I stick my card in and with an attitude... again... she tells me to put the card in, cuz it didn't work. So I put it in and she says is it all the way in I say yes. She pushes it with her own hand and sees it is in correctly then annoyingly pulls it out because she has to manually process it. I am just standing there thinking this is a horrible experience I can't wait to get out of this office this lady has a major attitude and she is really unpleasant to be around. I was so happy to leave. I find out later on the reason it wasn't working is because the previous patient hadn't finished making their payment and my card ended up being charged for their appointment. That is why my card wasn't working. Chances are high that the previous patient was also probably being treated equally as bad and couldn't wait to leave either so their payment wasn't fully processed. #2 - Today 12/5/22 I am in a lot of pain. I have a crown that was done in 2004 by a dentist in Norther California that has a bite issue. I can feel when I bite down on it is hitting really hard in the wrong spot and causing pain. All I need is a simple bite adjustment on it. I tell her it's an emergency she says he can see me Wed morning, there is no time Tue. I said let me check with a dentist in LA I will call you back. The dentist in LA can see me Tue but I call Terry back to see what time Dr. Son can see me Wed because LA is a 2hr drive. She asks did Dr. Son do the crown? I said no it was done in 2004 by a doc in NorCal. She asks what is going on with it. I tell her it's a crown that Dr. Son said should be replaced because my gum has receded and the crown needs to be longer to protect the root. Also I will be getting a new bridge and the crown wont match the new bridge so that was another reason he recommended I replace it. Terry says even if you come Wed he probably won't do an adjustment on it because he already diagnosed that you need a new crown. At this point I said "I am in pain and you are telling me he isn't going to help me resolve the pain?" The way she is talking to me is not how you talk to a patient, especially a patient in pain. I said you know what Terry I have to say that dealing with you has been a very bad experience this time and the last time I saw you. You make me feel like you don't want me there as a patient. She said why would you say that? I explained to her how she treated me when I came for the dental cleaning a few weeks earlier. She said "The way you felt was made up in your head" Then she said "I am offended that you are accusing me of this." At that point I cut her off and spoke louder because she should NOT be talking to patients this way. Then she cut me off and started to play victim by saying on the phone I will not tolerate being yelled at, LOL. This lady is a 100% a narcissist! I told her I am not coming back and I hung up. It would be a good idea to have a new phone system installed that allows the office to record phone calls so that the office can review how Terry talks to patients. That way she can be trained properly on how to treat people. read more

Dr. Son is definitely the best dentist period. I'm a local chiropractor who's been referring to Dr Son for NTI devices for about 20 years. I always hear back how great he is. When it was time for significant work that I needed done I didn't hesitate to use his services. I know he uses clean materials and is meticulous when it comes to removing old mercury. Of all the natural bio dentists that I know Dr Son is definitely the best of the best. My experience with him and his staff had been better than perfect. I look forward to using his office personally and referring professionally. Thank you Dr Son, Terry and the rest of his great staff!! read more

I've been coming to dr son for several years. I've always had an excellent experience with him and his treatments . He's very knowledgeable and has gone above and beyond learning everything he can to improve his customers health and care . His office is beautiful and his staff are very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend . read more

Dr. Son is the best of the best. If you have high standards for your health, then you've come to the right place. As a practitioner, he's very kind and gifted. Expect meticulous work with a caring attitude. Before I chose Dr. Son, I investigated 5 other dentists, researched their practice and sought first-hand feedback from prior patients. Only after extensive research did I decide this was the office for me. I then drove from out of state to get my care... and I'm extremely happy with the results. They use ozone during procedures and ozonated water for recovery (similar feeling to hydrogen peroxide in the mouth). He has a WaterLase and Piezo instruments and uses state of the art CBCT scans to guide his work, looking at the images as he performs surgery, to make sure he's in the exact right spot. Having trained with Klinghardt in Switzerland, I knew I was getting the type of care that's on the leading edge of dentistry. Dr. Son performed crucial surgery in my jawbone that has been a true game changer for me and I'm so glad I chose him. He made sure the local anesthesia was the right fit for me and uses state of the art tools to perform the painstakingly delicate work in the small areas in your mouth. He also bends over backwards to make sure you are safe and comfortable during surgery. He accommodated me, for example, when I needed to swallow during the procedure and stopped to let me clear my throat, even if it meant temporarily removing the dam and replacing it several times. I'm truly grateful that such a caring and exacting dentist is out there and not only would I not hesitate to recommend him for your most important procedures, I will continue to drive from out of state to visit again and again. Thank you Dr. Son. read more

Always the best experience! My friends think I'm crazy when I tell them how much I love going to the dentist. I tell them they'd feel the same way if they saw Dr Son! He's been taking care of my dental health for years. Swiss trained, biological dentist! He is not just taking care of my teeth, he is creating better overall health! I will never go anywhere else. read more

Hold on to your wallet. I called for a consultation with Dr. Son, and was told it will cost $800.00 and they do not accept insurance. I will look elsewhere. read more

1. Wow!! probably just got off the phone with the rudest and most annoying receptionist of all time! My first time calling them ever! She said to get an appointment or any visit to consult would cost about $780!!!! I asked what for and she said we will do all kinds of exams!! I asked what kind and she said 3D and some other CT scans!! I said well I really don't need all that. I have a healthy mouth and teeth and had a regular doctor and just new to the area! She said that is our office requirement, and if you don't like it or can't afford it go else where. What!??? I am very fortunate and have an amazing life but not going to give a penny to someone with that attitude!! Lol I asked her to please BOLD this statement she just told me right on their website instead of posting fake pictures of D-list non-famous people!! Good bye Cherry!! Or Terry or whomever you are! RUUUUDDDEEE 2. Dr Son. Or Cherry the office manager! .. as you can see you have been dealing with lots of decent people who like to come and see you and unfortunately you're receptionist is so damn RUDE And SO DEMANDING of that $710 forced exams that that's all she said and if you call any other places you will never hear this and such an immediate cause turn OFF. You're a Doctor and you should act like a doctor and manage you're front. Unless you fix that you will always get people like me or anyone who is offended by the rudeness of you're receptionist and are gonna write reviews like this for you. It's not the money anymore, it's about the quality of your office as a whole and being a DOCTOR! I haven't even met you EVER and I don't have time to go on yelp writing stuff but when you get a receptionist hanging up on you it's very aggravating..I really think everyone would want their Doctor to be the nicest people to deal with and especially Dentists! I highly suggest that instead of wasting so much time on yelp (seems like that's your case now, an empty office and lots of time on your hand) concerning the negative reviews spend some quality time with yourself, take a break and realize how a true HUMAM AND A WONDERFUL DOCTOR should be, the kind that supposed to be to helping people in need it not money hoarding! Especially during these hard times! That's what REAL Doctors do! HELPING people in need! God bless you! read more

My husband just had his first appointment with Dr. Son and it was wonderful! He gave us so much helpful information about what might be going on with my husband. The scans were AMAZING. His staff was very professional, knowledgable, and courteous. The facility is top of the line. And most importantly, Dr. Son was wonderful, knowledgable, and gave us very complex information but made it easy to understand. He was also a lot of fun to talk to. He gave us a list of "to do's" which made us feel empowered. We really look forward to continuing to see him. The initial appointment is not cheap, but for us it was worth every penny. Thank you! read more

For 4 months, I have been struggling with an unknown facial infection. I couldn't open my mouth(max len. 2in) and my jaw on the right side swelled to the size of large strawberry. Since then, I've been to 6 other doctors and none of them could explain my condition nor prescribe me treatment. I've been on antibiotics and tried many options, but none of them were solutions. Just three weeks ago, my dad did some searching and we found Dr. Son's office after getting a CT scan. I was diagnosed with actinomycosis. We heard about how the doctor uses ozone to treat various conditions, so we thought we'd give it a try. Amazingly enough, after just the second day, my swelling went down and I could open my mouth a little bit more. After the fourth day I could open it up an inch and a half! If I were religious I'd say that this was a miracle. :) (Pictures separate from review) Additionally, the doctor's technique for injection was extremely painless. He numbs you up before treatment, but even the process of putting the needle in doesn't hurt at all. All in all, if it were possible I would give this place 5000/5. Friendly, caring staff, superb dentist, this place has it all. Anyone struggling with a case similar to mine should definitely check out David Son, DDS. read more

See all

Best dentist and staff, period!

I have been a patient of Dr. for almost 20 years and it is the best dental care I have received in my over 75 years. His staff are always on time and very thoughtful. Dr. Son always finds time to see me when I am in the office even if he isn't working on me. read more

Wonderful experience , Very caring and knowledgeable staff. Dr. David Son and his staff are definitely our new Dentist ! read more

Dr. Son has been my dentist for several years now and I wouldn't go to anyone else, which is saying a lot, since I have a dentist in my family. Dr. Son is gentle, kind, a total perfectionist and to me his being a Naturopath is a definite bonus. It's great knowing he is informed and practices all the latest and safest procedures and techniques. I have referred family members and friends and they all love him. read more

April is hands down the best dental hygienist I have ever had! She literally will get every single corner of your teeth cleaned. My teeth are sparkling white right now and I'm so joyous I had to write a review! I hate going to the dentist so it's always scary for me but she makes you feel calm and safe somehow. She always has me laughing and feeling like I'm hanging out with a friend read more

Dr. Son is a knowledgeable and kind dentist, and Terry and the rest of the staff are also lovely! I love Dr. Son's approach to dentistry. It feels far more holistic and thorough than in my previous experience with previous dentists, and I am seeing better results. read more

I had a cleaning with April for the first time since the pandemic. I was very impressed with the safety features they have implemented. Definitely exceeded expectations. April is absolutely the best as is Dr Son. read more

"I have Lyme Disease and have been very sick for a long time. Dr. Son cleaned my teeth from harmful and toxic metals that were used in my past. He replaced several crowns and redid an infected implant. He also did cavitations. Since having that done my health has improved significantly. The major change is that my brain fog has almost gone away. Without these toxic metals in my mouth my body can begin to heal properly I'm so glad I did it and wish I had done it sooner! Also, Dr. Son and his entire staff are kind and professional and make me feel very comfortable." read more

Dr. Son is an extremely knowledgeable dentist and truly cares about his patients! Unfortunately, the office manager, Terry is very rude and even condescending! From my first call when I was looking for a new dentist she was very unkind and accused me of lying when I told her I left a message and that nobody had called me back. She also seemed to conveniently forget to advise me of extra fees until after I was billed. The only reason I will not return to Dr. Son is due to the nasty office manager, Terry! How sad that one terrible person can keep people from going back to a great business... I wonder if Dr. Son realizes what a nasty person Terry is? read more

Dr. Son and his team are exceptional. Terry at the front desk is always warm and welcoming. I've been going here for years. Great practice, highly recommended!! read more

Dr. Son is the best dentist you will find. He is very knowledgeable & gentle. I know I am receiving the best care coming to him. Terry is wonderful too. She always works hard to get you in when it's urgent. We are fortunate to have such a fantastic biological dentist in the area! read more

I'm sure the Dentist is great per the reviews, but I called today to get some general information to see if I want to make a switch to this dentist office. For the record I was not just asking about fees (which yes she was very reluctant to share), but also just general information about products they use, what is included in an annual check up, etc. Information that every other office I called was very happy to provide. The receptionist was very aggressive with me, very short, kept cutting me off, and ultimately told me that she can't spend time answering my questions because she has a patient she needs to deal with. No problem, I will not be making the switch as I have no interest in dealing with such a rude, unwelcoming, and uninformational business. Can't imagine what it's like once you're a patient trying to get billing sorted out with her. read more

We moved across country 2 years ago and I really wanted a homeopathic dentist, so any work and care would be done safely. Dr. David Son is the closest to that in our area. (He is a biological dentist.) You can tell that he really cares about his patients' health. He is gentle, efficient, and makes every attempt for work to be painless. He treats both myself and my 2 kids. The front desk staff is super nice and helpful as well. They really take the time to explain the process and make sure you understand the procedure and costs involved. We love the hygienists as well. All super sweet and gentle. I love how they take the time to really explain to the kids (and give me an update) what's working and where there is room for improvement. Great experiences overall. read more

Dr. Son has been taking care of my teeth for over 10 years, so it's crazy that I haven't sat down to write him and his staff a review. They are really amazing, he cares about my teeth and my safety and has been training and educating himself in natural and safe ways to take care of his patients . I always make an appointment and they are on time, smiling and ready to help me. I think that the prices are good, I don't have dental insurance, so I pay out of my pocket and I'm happy with the service I receive vs. the price I pay. Thank you Dr. Son for keeping my smile beautiful!! read more

First let me begin by saying that four teeth I thought I would need pulled by now are still in my mouth. It has taken incredibly disciplined work on my part with various holistic remineralizing and pH balancing solutions (the best of which have come from Uncle Harry's mouth care products), and one amazing biological dentist I was fortunate enough to find online. Thanks so much, Dr. Son. I'm not out of the woods yet and there may be some more paranoid days ahead, but today is the first day that those teeth feel like they might really stay in my mouth for the long haul. I know you can't promise your clients that all will be well, but I believe you do everything in your power to make sure that happens. So I'm just taking it one day at a time, and with your help, more ozone treatments, Dr. Tennant's BioModualtor, online sound healing (a wonderful new world that everyone should know about!), a lot of determination on my part and staying positive and banishing fear/worry, I think I might have a good chance of overcoming this latest major hiccup in my health. It has been about nine weeks since you did that intense work on my front bottom four teeth - over three hours in the chair with relatively no pain!!! The biological dentist whom I had been seeing for the last six years, a protege of Dr. Hal Huggins, had x-rayed my teeth In December of 2018 and informed me to my horror that those teeth all needed to be pulled! Well...I immediately searched for another biological dentist closer to home to get a second opinion. I knew I wasn't going to ever do root canals again after two excruciating experiences with teeth abcessing afterwards, getting one implant and just leaving a hole in my mouth after one was removed. So I began searching for some kind of alternative. And I found you. Thank God! I was most impressed that you're a trained naturopath, because I only see alternative docs as a rule. You are very proficient at muscle testing, which I have done on myself for years and have had a variety of practitioners do for me to identify health issues and supplement viability. During my first visit you looked at my x-rays, and without saying anything about pulling those teeth (which were very decayed on the inside but showed no signs of decay on the outside or even hurt), informed me of what your conservative approach would be. I was so relieved I almost cried. You were going to carefully drill out the decay and fill the teeth, and though you wouldn't give me any guarantees (which of course I didn't expect) you did seem confident that this approach would work. And that gave me confidence, in the same way positive energy begets positive energy. There was just one tooth that was in question, but you explained that you would try to restore all of them, without focusing on the word "save," of which I'm not a big fan. I'm a writer. Language is very important to me. I work hard to keep my words and thoughts completely positive, as I believe this is 95+% of healing. I research energy medicine nearly every day, and work with a number of energy healers. I myself am a channeler, meaning I can contact departed spirits and help their loved ones who remain here cope with their loss, so I'm a pretty good judge of someone's energy. I could tell immediately that you were a true healer, and that's a rarity in dentistry. You did not focus on what was "wrong" with my teeth, but was right and what was possible. You focused on the causes of teeth and gum issues, not on the symptoms, and I could tell you wanted to help me understand and treat those causes. I have much more to say, and will do so later as I learn more about how to keep my mouth healthy. But I just wanted to get this first input to you, because I wanted you to know how overjoyed I am to still have these teeth! Thanks, Dr. Son. And may the Force always be with you :) read more

I've been meaning to write a review for Dr. Son for a while. I am happy to read that so far his reviews have been as favorable as the one I am about to write. I was referred to Dr. David Son from an acquaintance of my mother's about 2 years ago. Just like many of you out there, I am not religious about tending to my dental care... UNTIL I met and have been treated by Dr. Son and his staff. Needless to say I had been in need of a couple of thousand dollars' worth of treatment upon my first visit. I am sure you are shocked just as I was at first, but he took the time to review the x-rays and other camera gadgets he has to show color pictures of each tooth that had a problem. He took the time and described the best and worst case scenarios to me. It finally hit me after our consult that I needed to desperately start a good cleaning regimen and that I couldn't wait any longer to get my teeth cleaned out, crowned and cavities filled. My previous dentist was rough, impatient with me and felt like I was being upsold and taken advantage of. With Dr. Son; I didn't feel that way. I was much more comfortable with his technique of the work that he described had to be done. With the help of the front office staff they handled my insurance billing and offered financing options to make it all happen at once. I had about 2 lengthy (four hour) visits to tackle each side of my mouth. Along with a few follow up visits for crown fittings etc. He and his staff make it as comfortable as they can for these long visits. Blankets, neck pillows and my personal favorite are these awesome sunglasses that have tiny movie projection screens things on them. Nothing better than watching Pretty Woman when getting 3 crowns put on! Totally helps you to relax and take your mind off of what's really happening. Nice touch! I can honestly tell you that he has gentle hands, makes sure you're completely numb before drilling, talks with you and explains what he's doing throughout the procedure and he does have a good sense of humor. I haven't experienced any unbearable pain after a procedure; but he offers his after hour contact info in case something was to happen. Since my first few major repair visits, I have gone back for routine cleanings and x-rays, nothing else has popped up since and no repair has been needed on the work that he has done! To me that's quite a testimony to his expertise and follow up care that I do at home now. Bottom line: I would recommend anyone and everyone to Dr. Son. He isn't cheap; but he is worth every penny! Brush, Floss, Rinse, Repeat! read more

Before going to Dr. Son's office for the first time in January of 2014, I hadn't seen a dentist in many years. I was one of those people that was scared, partly because I didn't have the greatest experiences in the past at dental offices, and partly because I knew I needed so much work that I felt a sense of embarrassment about my teeth. I finally relented and agreed to go to Dr. Son's office (at a friend's recommendation) after I had suffered through a constant toothache for about a week. The first thing I noticed were the warm smiles of Janice and Terry at the front desk, and a constant theme of each of my dental visits so far has been that Dr. Son and his staff know how to deal with people. They look you in the eye when speaking to you, and it is not just mundane, obligatory conversation. A very important part of any enterprise that deals with the public is customer service, and Dr. Son and his staff understand this perfectly. The next thing I noticed was that the office is immaculate. Everything is pristine, from the cleanliness of the office to the state-of-the-art nature of the dental equipment. Then I had X-rays taken and, of course, I knew that the state of my teeth was less than good. Dr. Son spoke with me for quite a while about what was happening, what needed to be done going forward, and, yes, that my issues are correctable. He was honest and frank, yet it never came across as a lecture. You expect that your dentist is going to be super-knowledgeable, but it really makes you feel far more at ease when he or she is also good at people skills. It turns out that I needed a root canal on my first visit, and my worries about pain came to the forefront. I am here to tell you that I didn't feel a single moment of pain during the root canal, nor have I felt any pain whatsoever during any of my visits so far. This is an advanced dental practice, and they don't even need to inject you with a needle anymore; they use a small laser-like tool to numb the affected area. For anybody worried about experiencing pain from dental work, I can't stress enough how painless everything has been. I still have a long way to go, but I couldn't be more pleased with my experience at Dr. Son's office so far. After just a few weeks since my initial visit, my smile looks much better thanks to Dr. Son's work, and, even more importantly, I actually feel better, both physically and mentally. Dr. Son and his staff of Nancy, Lynn, Janice, and Terry understand that they are in the business of helping people, and they do it very well. (I have not met Linda yet, but look forward to). In short? If you need a highly competent, caring dentist who works in a state-of-the-art office with a great staff, you'll make an appointment to go see Dr. Son. read more

Sorry, but I did my research and my conclusion says otherwise. No reputable organization on the planet endorses the removal of all amalgam due to toxicity. The dentist that made the amalgam argument famous, Hal Huggins, had his license revoked for gross negligence. https://www.acsh.org/news/1991/10/01/toxic-television-the-mercury-amalgam-scam Also in response to your assertion that the recommendations for immediate treatment was based off your professional assessment, I would disagree. I could not get a clear answer as to why my treatments could not be delayed a few months as I had no urgent issues. A good dental office and staff, will work with the patient to ensure that the procedures and treatment align to maximize his/her dental insurance. All my friends and colleagues I talked to told me that their dentist will take the extra time to set out a plan that makes sense both clinically and financially for the patient especially for procedures that are elective in nature. Removal of old amalgam does not constitute a dental crisis. Of course it is always my choice as no treatment can be forced on a patient, but the pressure was real and it made me question the motives of the business. I normally don't write reviews, but I felt compelled to speak up. I saw Dr Son based off a recommendation from a good friend. I was initially impressed with Dr Son's philosophy and approach. I was so excited to have finally found a dentist that was local, convenient and knowledgeable. He recommended that I remove all my amalgam fillings due to his belief that they were toxic and replace them with composite and crowns. I was ready and willing until I discussed this idea with my good friend who is also a dentist. I decided to get a couple other opinions from well respected dentists in the area and I also did some research. This apparently is not the recommendation from the FDA. I know there are ongoing debates about this, but it seems that the consensus in the medical and dental industry is that this is not the routine or the recommendation. Still, for purely aesthetic reasons, I was still willing to start the treatment plan. I read another review that mentioned that the office is not transparent about what would be covered by my insurance and I believe that to be my case as well. I did not feel the front office had my best interest in mind. They were persistent to start immediately and recommend as much as possible without regard to maximizing my dental benefits. There were treatments that could have been delayed until the next year as they were prophylactic in nature and I was pressured to initiate them right away knowing that I had maxed out on my insurance benefits for the year. When I questioned why it was so urgent to do all my treatments in that year, I was told that anything could happen between that time and January of the next year. Well, it has been well over a year and a half since my last visit and I haven't had any issues. As a matter of fact, I recently found a new dentist and he told me my teeth were remarkably clean and I had no major issues. Yes, he did tell me it would be a good idea to redo my amalgam fillings and replace them for crowns to protect my teeth from possible cracking, but he told me it was more for prevention than anything else. I will have those teeth finally done, but on my terms and my time. Dr Son's office recommended night guards for my teeth and was ready to order them for me at $600 until I intervened and asked them to hold off. I was never told by any dentist that I had teeth grinding issues. When I asked my new dentist about his thoughts on that, he looked puzzled. He did not feel I had any issues with grinding! Dr Son's office cleaned my teeth 5 months before the end of the year and they recommended I have a second cleaning after 3 months. I asked to wait until the beginning of the next year and was given a hard time about that. I just felt like the stress of having to question every treatment made me more and more skeptical of the business. They were more interested in making as much money from me first before taking into consideration what was the best for me. read more
