    Dr. Marfatia is the best. We started seeing him when my okder son was 2 years old. Now his brother is also his patient. The staff always make them so comfortable. The clinic is very clean and organized.

    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!!!

    Examine room and chair. There is a TV mounted to the ceiling for kids to watch.

    Tried to use loud electric tools on a one year old and really scared her. If anything, a regular tooth brush should be used for a cleaning.

    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!

    Fast response time, and such good care here! The staff is all so kind, and they are really geared…read morefor pediatric dentistry.

I was honestly a little nervous about how this appointment was going to go, but the staff at Little Smiles of OC were amazing. Johanna and the doctor were incredibly patient with my little one. Lesson learned on my end though: DO NOT feed your anxious toddler breakfast before a dentist appointment! He was so worked up and agitated that he ended up throwing up everywhere, and I was mortified. Instead of making us feel embarrassed or uncomfortable, the staff were so kind and understanding. They offered him toys, talked to him, and did everything they could to help calm him down. Despite the rough start, we were actually able to complete the appointment! At the end, the staff even let him pick out a toy, which definitely helped turn his mood around a little. I also really appreciated that the office has both an open area and private rooms for appointments. Since my son was already anxious, having a private room made a big difference for us. The entire staff, from the front desk to the back, was friendly and welcoming, and the clinic was clean and inviting. So glad we found this little gem! Finding a dentist who is patient and understanding with toddlers is such a relief, and I would absolutely recommend Little Smiles of OC to any parent looking for a pediatric dentist.

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.

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 entire office made what could have been an overwhelming process feel easy and straightforward. If you're considering Invisalign for your child or yourself, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kind Smiles and Dr. Junyi. Dr. Junyi also takes adult patients for ortho!
