I took my 8-year-old daughter to Bay Dental on July 15 for a routine cleaning, where they found…read morethree cavities and referred us to South Coast Pediatrics across the hall for treatment. I called immediately and was able to get an appointment the very next day, July 16. When we arrived, they told me they needed to take a new set of X-rays because the ones from Bay Dental weren't up to their standards. This was despite the referral clearly indicating which three teeth needed treatment. The first thing the dental assistant told me after walking into the room was, "Be ready to pay about $600 out of pocket." Naturally, I was confused. She explained that their office routinely uses nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to sedate children during fillings. I explained that my daughter had previously had two cavities filled using only local numbing and did very well. I was then told that their dentist does not numb the area and instead uses nitrous oxide. The total estimate came to $754.40 out of pocket. To make things even more confusing, they then told me they would only fill two of the three cavities and simply monitor the third one. If I'm already expected to pay nearly $800, why wouldn't all three cavities be treated? In my opinion, this place is a rip-off. It did not feel consumer-friendly, and it seemed like the office preferred using sedation because it made the procedure easier for them rather than considering that my 8-year-old had already handled fillings successfully with local numbing. That approach, combined with the high out-of-pocket cost and treating only two of the three cavities, was enough for us to walk away and seek care elsewhere.

Everyone on the staff was super friendly and made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in. They have screens to help distract the little ones if needed, and they even gave him a little gift/reward at the end, which was such a sweet touch!

We're so happy we chose this office and would definitely recommend them to other parents!

The office is bright and inviting, and so is the staff. My son loves the fact that he gets to relax and watch his favorite shows while getting work done on his teeth. I love that Dr. Marcus and Dr. Andrew are super communicative about what options are available for my son, depending on what treatment he needs from that visit. I also appreciate the transparency and payment options when it comes to billing. I'm happy to pay more for a dentist who puts the needs of their patients first, and that's definitely something that Dr. Marcus and Dr. Andrew focus on most. Best of all, my son loves that he gets to go into the "secret" prize palace after each appointment, making the drive home a pleasant experience. I would highly recommend Tiny Tooth Co. to any parent who wants to make their child's experience at the dentist a positive one. Dr. Marcus and Dr. Andrew are the best!

My daughter is autistic, and dental appointments can be extremely difficult for her. Before coming here, we had been told by other dentists that she would most likely need general anesthesia to complete her dental work. As her parent, that was something I was very nervous about. Dr. Lisa Nguyen listened to my concerns, understood my daughter's needs, and recommended that we try laughing gas first before going straight to general anesthesia. I'm so thankful she made that recommendation. My daughter was able to have her dental work done, and that meant so much to our family. I also want to thank the dentist who worked on my daughter's teeth. Unfortunately, I didn't get her name, but she was incredibly patient and caring with her, and I truly appreciate everything she did. Both dentists and the entire staff showed so much patience, compassion, and understanding throughout a very difficult appointment. What meant the most to me was how they treated my daughter with kindness and never made us feel like her autism or difficulty with dental treatment was a burden. As a parent of an autistic child, finding a dental team that is willing to be patient, understanding, and try different approaches means more than I can put into words. I especially wanted to share our experience because I know there are other parents of autistic children who may be worried about dental treatment or feel like general anesthesia is their only option. Every child is different, but I'm so grateful Dr. Lisa Nguyen was willing to try laughing gas with my daughter first. Thank you Dr. Lisa Nguyen, the dentist who worked on my daughter, and everyone at Children's FunZone Dental. I truly appreciate the patience, compassion, and care you showed my daughter and our family. This experience meant a lot to us.

We recently switched dentists for my preschool daughter, and my young toddler also needed her first…read moredentist appointment. We have a dental HMO plan and unfortunately, there are almost no pediatric practices that accept it, so we were cash pay. However, this place is pretty reasonable cash prices. It was $135 for my older daughter, and babies under 18 months get their first visit complimentary. It was slightly cheaper than a couple other nearby places, and the reviews were very positive so I decided to try it. The waiting room is small but very neat and tidy. The aesthetic is cute, and they have a few toys for kids but it's not crazy or cluttered. It's actually better that way since kids are just drawn to one or two toys instead of overwhelmed by the options. We were called back shortly after we checked in, and it wasn't very crowded that day when we went. My older daughter laid on the exam chair and they have TVs on the ceiling so she got to watch a show, which she was pleased with. The hygienist and the dentist were both great. They were informative without being patronizing, and they respected my parenting choices and offered advice that fell within the scope of my choices. For example, continuing to breastfeed my young toddler (14 months old) at nighttime does increase the risk of cavities, but they informed me that they understand the benefits of breastfeeding and that the risk increases primarily after 18 months, which was helpful to know. Another example is we discussed fluoride vs. non-fluoride toothpaste. We had been using non-fluoride especially when we have to brush teeth on the go (like trying to be on time to school), so they said if we don't do fluoride every time, then doing it at the nighttime brushing is the most helpful time of day to kill the most bacteria. I appreciated that their advice was realistic and balanced enough to recognize that parents weigh many factors when making parenting decisions, and not all decisions are 100% about good dental hygiene. For my toddlers appointment they mainly wanted to inspect her teeth, do a quick brush and apply fluoride, but it was very short. They had me hold her on my lap face up and just worked on her there. Of course my toddler screamed the entire time, but they worked fast and were sympathetic but not shocked by the behavior. Seems like they have a lot of experience! They gave both my kids stickers and each a new toothbrush at the end. It was a very positive visit and we will definitely be back!

If you take your child here, double check your insurance yourself because the front desk will not. The office recently made a massive administrative error when they failed to use the provider portal to check real time insurance eligibility, and frequency limits before performing x-rays. Instead of absorbing the cost of their own mistake, they are actively calling over 100 families demanding out-of-pocket payments weeks after the appointments are over. When confronted, they admitted the error was theirs and even tried to barter the price from $188 down to $50 just to get a quick cash for their administrative error. When I contacted my dental insurance, they said that the balance was $88 due to frequency of x-rays not $188. While I really enjoyed the Doctor and he is amazing at his care and children I feel like this error is something that should not go unnoticed and other families should be warned about. I strongly believe that they did not act in good faith for this. If you are one of the people who they went ahead and called, please contact the office and ask them to and write it off. This is bad business practice.

After having some pretty difficult experiences with other pediatric dentists, finding Irvine…read moreChildren's Dentistry was honestly a breath of fresh air. After visiting several offices in Irvine, I realized how important it was to me that my son not only received excellent dental care, but also had a positive experience without developing fear or anxiety around going to the dentist. From our very first consultation, I was incredibly impressed with the entire team. Everyone was kind, patient, and genuinely seemed to care about their patients. What had been a traumatic experience for my son at another pediatric dentist turned into a completely enjoyable experience here. They were extremely understanding of his needs, especially since he is sensitive to the idea of the gas mask. They even let him take home a bubblegum-scented mask ahead of time so he could get comfortable with it before his appointment. That small gesture made a huge difference. Both of his cavities were treated so smoothly, and the doctor was incredible. Working with a six-year-old in a dental chair while performing difficult procedures takes a tremendous amount of patience and skill, and they knew exactly how to make Noah feel comfortable throughout the entire process. My biggest takeaway is that Irvine Children's Dentistry completely changed my perception of what pediatric dentistry should be. They have set a new standard for what I believe every pediatric dental office should strive to provide. The combination of exceptional care, patience, communication, and genuine compassion is something I wish every child could experience. I honestly can't recommend this place enough. They do exceptional work, and in my opinion, they should be the standard for pediatric dentistry. My only complaint is that I wish I could identify as a child so they could work on my teeth too!

Absolute Perfection - A Game-Changer for Kids! ​If I could…read moregive Dr. Jae and the team at Lovebee Pediatric Dentistry more than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat. We came here after a very frustrating experience with our previous dentist, and the difference was night and day. My 8-year-old daughter was experiencing severe tooth pain and couldn't even chew on one side of her mouth, so we were incredibly stressed trying to find the right care. ​From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in the best hands. The office is beautifully designed for children, featuring incredible touches like TVs on the ceiling right above the chairs to keep them perfectly distracted. They also utilize the absolute latest technology, including modern, low-noise water suction devices that completely eliminate the loud, intimidating sounds and discomfort that usually trigger dental anxiety in kids. ​Dr. Jae is a phenomenal clinician and an absolute saint. As a mother herself, her patient management and empathy are unmatched. She used laughing gas to keep my daughter relaxed, constantly showered her with positive encouragement ("you're doing so well!"), and even sang the ABCs to her during the procedure to keep her calm. She also narrated what to expect in a fun, kid-friendly way (like warning her about a "funny taste"), meaning my daughter stayed completely calm and relaxed without tensing up once. ​What I appreciated most as a parent was how thoroughly Dr. Jae explained the treatment plan. She took the time to explain the exact biomechanics of why she recommended stainless steel crowns for the top permanent molars instead of tooth-colored ones--because they are much thinner and conserve far more of the natural, irreplaceable permanent tooth structure. She also placed sealants on the bottom teeth to protect them moving forward. ​Finding a pediatric dentist who combines world-class clinical expertise with genuine, warm, parental empathy is rare. If you are looking for a gentle, zero-anxiety, and highly professional team for your children, do not hesitate to come to Lovebee. Dr. Jae has earned a patient for life with our family!
