    Dr. Marfatia is the best at teeth extractions for kids. The orthodontist recommended 3 baby teeth be extracted for the next set of Invisalign trays and we were able to make a speedy appointment to get this done. The office is always friendly and accommodating as well as clean! We have been driving from north OC to Irvine for over 5 years now and are happy with our dentist.

    I took my son today for his first ever dentist apt and I was a very nervous wreck due to him being autistic and having severe ADHD with sensory processing disorder, when I tell you I was in shock at how well he took to the staff here they were so sweet to him nobody pressured him they had amazing patience and kindness, he actually warmed up and was talking to them happy as can be and trusted them to do his X-rays and teeth cleaning! Every single person treated him well and he left feeling happy and content. I'm beyond over the moon grateful I chose this dentist for his needs. 10/10 I would recommend to anyone who has children and especially children with special needs.

    Dr.Marfatia and his staff are absolutely amazing! I first met Dr. Marfatia in Anaheim and now drive over 30 minutes to have my child's dental care be done by him! I wouldn't go anywhere else! He is without a doubt the best dentist my children have ever had! He is gentle, communicative with children no matter their age, he is very calming and just all-around an amazing dentist! His office is immaculate and very very clean! His staff is so friendly and kind to everyone who walks in the door. They make the kids feel comfortable and welcomed! I just can't say enough about this Dental office! They are quick, efficient and always on point with appointment times too! Dr. Marfatia's First Smile Pediatric Dentist is FANTASTIC!!!

    I am so happy I found this dentistry for my son. Even amidst Covid, I felt very safe and clean here. Everything from making an appointment to walking out the door was so smooth and delightful. The receptionist who made my appointment was pleasant to talk to and got all my information correctly over the phone. Shortly after, I received the paperwork to fill out via email. Don't be scared by the parking situation, it's a jam right in front of the Kaiser building but if you drive further to the next building, where the office is located, there is an abundance of parking. The office is very clean, staff is friendly. The waiting area usually has Legos and iPads for kids to play with, but due to covid, everything was removed. The examine room was equipped with a TV mounted to the ceiling for kids to watch during their appointment. It was my son's first dentist visit and I wasn't sure how he would behave. The dental hygienist did a great job at cleaning his teeth. We didn't have to wait long for the dentist to come in and I felt he was pretty thorough with examining my sons teeth and asking us the right questions and giving us advice related to my son's dental care. We will definitely be returning and I would highly recommend Dr. Marfatia to others.

    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!

Their waiting room is nice and clean and offers stuff for your little one to keep busy. The wait was not long and we were seen right away by Dr. Laura, she answered all of our questions and was great with my son. We came in for a consult and she ended up did the cleaning in the same session. It was my son's first time at the dentist and I was worried he'd get scared but he left happy and with clean teeth! Thank you so again to Growing Smiles team and Dr. Laura!

Chloe has been…read moreseeing her since she was just 1 year old (she's 4 now), and it's been such a comfort having a dentist who has truly grown with her over the years. Dr. Heidi is incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and gentle--everything you hope for in a pediatric dentist. What really sets her apart is how much she genuinely cares. She always takes the time to listen to my concerns as a mom, never makes me feel rushed, and remembers even the smallest details from previous visits. At each appointment, she follows up thoughtfully, which makes us feel so seen and supported. She's also been amazing at guiding us when we've needed additional care, providing trusted referrals and clear recommendations that have made a big difference in Chloe's dental health. She's also very proactive in planning ahead, already keeping an eye on Chloe's development and helping us think through future orthodontic needs, which gives us so much peace of mind. Her approach is both proactive and reassuring. And from Chloe's perspective--going to the dentist is FUN! She never wants to leave because she's showered with praise, princess stickers, and fun prizes from the goodie box. There are TVs for her to watch her favorite shows during the visit, and even one on the ceiling when she lays back in the chair, which makes everything feel so comfortable and distracting in the best way. The lobby is also kid-friendly, with fun toys to keep her entertained while she waits for her turn. Dr. Heidi's entire team at Irvine Children's Dentistry deserves just as much praise--they are always warm, friendly, and incredibly thorough. From the front desk to the hygienists, everyone creates such a welcoming and comfortable environment and truly goes above and beyond for their patients. If you're looking for a pediatric dentist who genuinely cares about your child, pays attention to every detail, plans ahead for their long-term dental health, and makes each visit a positive experience, Dr. Heidi and her team are the absolute best. We're so grateful to have found them!

They are 3 and 4 and cannot wait to see Dr Andrew and Dr Marcus each year. We use the in-house insurance plan, and while it is a bit more expensive than the one I am offered through my job, it is worth every penny, and so much more: 2 years ago (this review is long overdue) the Drs recognized an airway issue in my daughter, that would also impact future alignment of her teeth, and referred us to a specialist. We had no idea that was even an option! We had already been looking into speech and sinus surgeries for breathing problems. 2 years later we have not had to do any of it! Andrew and Marcus truly saved both my kids from years of issues with their kindness, patience, and education. My little guy is going through the same process but still having some sleep issues, which is totally not their responsibility, and yet they have been supportive every step of the way. It is so nice to feel like your kids have a team who really care about them. You can tell everyone at Tiny Tooth Co truly wants the best for each child they serve and the difference it has made in my children's lives is worth the taking on the 55 at rush hour!

My daughter recently completed her Invisalign treatment, and the entire process, from the initial consultation to moving into her retainers, was incredibly smooth. Dr. Junyi took the time to answer every question (and my daughter had a lot of them!). She never made us feel rushed and always explained what was happening and why in a way that my daughter could understand, which really helped ease the nerves she had throughout treatment. One of my favorite parts of the experience was the weekly photo check-ins. Being able to submit photos instead of coming into the office every few weeks was such a time saver, especially with a busy family schedule. We still felt like her treatment was being closely monitored, and whenever we had a question between appointments, Dr. Junyi and her team responded quickly and were always helpful.

The doctors and staff are all fantastic, and we feel very confident knowing that we're in good hands. Thank you Kind Smiles team!
