Aside from the fantastic service, care, and thoughtfulness from Dr Yokochi and his staff. I want to highlight something that isn't as easily seen. What people don't know is that D. Yokochi puts his patients first, before financial gain. Let me explain. Exhibit A - I need a new cavity filled - I asked him about options. They don't do amalgam anymore, Gold, porcelain, or composite were my options. A friend of mine recommended I get gold (no, he's not a rapper). And while I could, it would have cost 3x more. Dr Yokochi suggested I just get composite, I don't chew on ice or gnaw on bones so it should last a long time. Exhibit B, I wanted to straighten my teeth. His office is fully capable of doing invisalign, but instead he referred me to Dr Manfred in Fountain Valley. He wanted me to get the best care and that's what they specialize in, not that he couldn't provide that level of care, but more importantly he wanted me to feel comfortable with whatever decision I made. My Review from Jan 2015 Very accommodating, easy appt setup and reminders. Comfortable chairs, high tech x rays, cavity refills, etc.

However, I found the pricing for ceramic crowns to be significantly higher than expected. I was quoted approximately $2,500 for a crown with the necessary foundation work, which seems well above the typical rates in the Huntington Beach area. In my experience, comparable treatment can be found at a lower cost in nearby Newport Beach. Additionally, the office is on the smaller side, and parking is limited, which can make visits a bit less convenient. Sorry, Dr. Khan--your expertise is priceless... unfortunately, my wallet strongly disagrees. LOL

After hearing so many wonderful recommendations, I finally decided to visit Dr. Serena at Serena Smile Dental, and I'm so glad I did! Dr. Serena is incredibly sweet, caring, gentle, and professional. Her skill and attention to detail made my entire procedure feel smooth, comfortable, and virtually painless. She took the time to make sure I felt relaxed and cared for throughout the whole experience. The office is absolutely beautiful, spotless, and very welcoming. Every staff member I met was friendly, kind, and made me feel right at home. I truly love the positive energy of the entire office! I had such a great experience that I've already scheduled appointments for several members of my family with Dr. Serena. That says everything! If you're nervous about going to the dentist and are looking for someone who is gentle, caring, highly skilled, and professional, I absolutely recommend Dr. Serena and Serena Smile Dental. Definitely a 5-star experience!

For years I felt unheard or dismissed when sharing concerns about my dental health, with my worries minimized and the advice always reduced to "just brush and floss more." Dr. Ta completely changed that experience for me. She genuinely listens, prioritizes my comfort, and has an incredible gentle touch -- I never feel a thing, even through a root canal and wisdom tooth extraction! I also love the whole Ta family team. Christine at the front desk is warm, welcoming, and always makes sure I fully understand my payment options. Tracy Ta I believe also does my cleanings and creates such a judgment-free environment -- she never makes me feel bad about my flossing habits and does a fantastic job every time. Every single staff member has been kind and attentive across all my visits. I recommend Serena Smiles to everyone I know and can't imagine going anywhere else!

He is very personable and does his best to ensure the patient's comfort, and is also willing to share knowledge and take his time to explain the procedures when asked. There is also no wait time -- your appointment time is when they are ready for you. I had a tooth extracted, one of my bottom incisors, and he confirmed wit me multiple times to make sure I was aware of the results (having only three incisors would remove my bottom midline entirely); not because he doubted me, but because he wanted to make sure I would remain satisfied with my smile in the future after the extraction, and so I could make the most informed decision. I appreciate his proactive approach.

I was glad to have been able to make an appointment within the week and didn't have to wait in the waiting room long. The dental hygienist got to taking x-rays right away and did a good job about not pinching my gums or cheeks too much during the process, which I know sometimes is a struggle. When Dr. Chris came in, there wasn't any niceties exchanged, barely an introduction. It felt very short, abrupt, straight to the point, and not conversational. I've always liked going to the dentist and felt comfortable at the dentist, but I can imagine for someone who doesn't like the dentist that this interaction would not have put them at ease or made to feel welcomed. I was told I had cavities and they were able to take care of them right away. Convenient for me not to have to come back another time, so that was great! What really threw me off was that during the process, Dr. Chris just announced out loud, "Time for a break!" And dropped everything and left the room with the hygienist. I was so confused and baffled. How could they take a break in the middle of filling my cavity?? I was stressing because I wasn't sure if he hurt himself and needed to go take care of it, if he went on a lunch break, or if something else was going on. I was left in the dark, figuratively. It felt like awhile before another hygienist came in looking for supplies when she asked if I was doing okay. I said I was fine and asked if everyone else was okay. She said that Dr. Chris needed to tend to an emergency with another patient momentarily. I felt a little better after knowing that. When he came back, I thought he would at least address his absence with something like, "I'm sorry for the interruption. I had to attend to an emergency." Or a, "Thank you for waiting." But instead, I got, "Okay let's keep going." As a healthcare professional myself, I understand the importance of transparency and helping manage expectation to help put patients at ease. A simple, "I will be back in a few minutes. I need to go help another patient" wouldn't have left me stressed out about what was happening and when/if he was coming back. We ended up getting interrupted again but this time I heard the other hygienist say, "I'm so sorry but I need you again." Dr. Chris said, "I'll be right there." And he left the dental saliva ejector mouthpiece in my mouth when he stepped out. I think he thought he'd be back right away so he didn't take it out but it ended up staying in my mouth so long I was so dried out and uncomfortable. I was tempted to remove it myself and honestly probably should have, but I kept thinking he'd be back any moment. Finally, he came back, again with no apology for stepping out. He finished up quickly and I was out. My mouth and tongue were still numb so it wasn't until the next day where I felt the grooves of the filling and I wanted it smoothed out. I called the office and they were able to get me in that same day. I was taken care of by hygienist Lynne and she was fabulous!! She was approachable, conversational, answered my questions, and checked up on how I was doing often. She helped me smooth out the rough edges of the filling so that it felt more seamless. She thanked me for coming in and told me to request her the next time I was in. I'm giving this dental office a 4/5 because of the timeliness of the appointments, the attentive hygienists, the cleanliness, and the good final product of my fillings. My major critique is just the bedside manner from Dr. Chris and the process of getting my filling. I'm hopeful and willing to give it the benefit of the doubt that it was just one bad fluke of a day. It wasn't bad enough for me to be turned away. I guess I'll see again at my 6 month appointment.
