This review is years in the making. I don't typically write negative reviews, especially for small…read morebusinesses, because I understand one experience may not reflect the majority. But in this case, I feel it's important to share. I came to this office years ago after moving to Cerritos, right before my wedding, simply looking for a new dentist and a routine cleaning. They had great reviews, which is why I trusted them. From the start, I was told I had extensive issues--multiple cavities needed to be redone and several crowns were recommended. This was surprising to me, as I've consistently gone to the dentist and had never been told I needed such drastic work. Still, I trusted their assessment. The procedures that followed were some of the most painful dental experiences I've ever had. They took hours, felt extremely aggressive, and left me in severe pain afterward--far beyond what I've ever experienced with dental work. I have a high pain tolerance, and this felt very wrong. What was most frustrating was what happened next. I returned multiple times explaining that I couldn't sleep, eat, or function due to the pain. Each time, my concerns were dismissed and attributed to things like not flossing (umm I couldn't floss because of the extreme pain), which didn't make sense given the level of pain I was in. After pushing back repeatedly--especially with my wedding just days away--I insisted something was seriously wrong and requested further evaluation. It turned out I needed three root canals as a result of their prior work. Separately, the crowns that were placed caused ongoing issues. Eating anything with texture would cause gum pain, and I noticed unusual gaps that trapped food. When I brought this up, I was told the only solution was to redo the crowns at additional cost. My crowns also came off. Later, I happened to see a different dentist at the same office (a female provider who may have been temporary), and she immediately noted that the crowns had been placed at an awkward angle. She corrected them, and since then, I've had no pain and no further issues such as crowns falling off. I ultimately switched dentists and have not needed any major dental work since--just routine cleanings every six months, with no recurring problems. Based on what I went through--particularly the aggressive treatment, the outcome, and the dismissal of my concerns--I feel it's important for others to have full context before making a decision.

My insurance was checked and I knew exactly what my portion of the fee would be. Everyone was efficient and friendly. This is my second experience here, the first being wisdom tooth removal for my autistic son, which was perfect. I highly recommend this office for any of your oral surgery needs. I believe you won't be disappointed. I am a rather nervous dental patient, but I felt cared about and treated very well. I'm not the easiest patient because I have a chronic illness and am in my 60s, but everything was smooth and easy. Recovery went well and post-op instructions were clear. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

They charge a ridiculous amount for a basic procedure, especially for their customer service to be lacking in hospitality.

Regardless of what you can afford, don't go here and trust these people with the safety of your mouth and health.

In post op he checked the wound to make sure I was healing well which it did. Dr Rowe is everything you want in a physician -- conscientious, empathetic, and compassionate.

She does the cleanings herself and is incredibly gentle and precise. When my wife had a chipped tooth, Dr. Bui repaired it so flawlessly you couldn't even tell it had been damaged. Her attention to detail is unmatched. The office is refreshingly transparent with billing. They clearly explain what's covered and what's not, so there are no surprise charges. Her assistants, Ashley and Rebecca, are amazing--always helpful, kind, and professional. Rebecca is especially knowledgeable about billing and insurance, and they accept all types of insurance, which makes things much easier. One thing we really appreciate is that the office is never overbooked. Appointments run on time, and you never feel rushed or like you're being squeezed in. That calm, organized flow makes every visit feel respectful and relaxed. Dr. Bui is a hardworking, honest general dentist who never pushes unnecessary procedures. That integrity is a big reason why our family's dental health is in such great shape. In a time when it's rare to find a dentist who isn't driven by upselling, Dr. Bui stands out for her genuine care and professionalism. She's also amazing with kids. When our daughter needed six fillings years ago, Dr. Bui made the experience painless and reassuring. She used laughing gas, which she's certified in, and avoided general anesthesia--something other dentists were recommending. We appreciated that thoughtful approach and have trusted her ever since. Scheduling is easy, and the office runs smoothly. Whether it's a routine cleaning or a more involved procedure, we always feel well cared for. And here's a fun detail: Dr. Bui has the perfect height for a dentist--she works comfortably without needing to slouch, which you don't always get with taller dentists. It's just one more reason her work is so precise and consistent. We're grateful to have found her--and we recommend her wholeheartedly. Sunny and family!
