Took care of my mom , accommodated her even when there's nearly no doctor available. They are really nice. We will be working with them in the next months and will give updates but so far , they exceeded my expectations. Sandra is so caring and knows what' she's doing . read more

Fullerton Dental Associates - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Fullerton, California

My x-rays and cleaning took close to an hour and half to complete. There was no explanation why. They took payment before my treatment and afterwards I noticed I never received the laser treatment despite being charged for it. They did refund the fee when I asked them to. They recommend a deep cleaning despite my previous cleaning being 3 months prior and me being very careful with my teeth. This would be an additional $480 on top of the several hundred I had already paid. After some discussion they said they would do it cheaper because only my upper right side needed it. They tried to charge for the full mouth as I was leaving. I was skeptical if I even needed it and felt very pressured to take this treatment. I was told two times they'd fill in my prescription. They didn't. I've been going here for several years and the staff are always changing which in my opinion is a red flag. I won't be going back. read more

AVOID at all costs! Ditto to the comment left on 5/23/2025 regarding wait times. Short version: Avoid this place -- disorganized, disrespectful of your time, and zero accountability. There are dozens of other dentists within blocks of this place. Long version: I had an appointment on 6/27 that I booked over two months in advance -- just for a basic 6-month cleaning. One hour before the appointment, I got a call telling me I needed to contact my insurance to list them as my primary provider -- or else I couldn't be seen. That should've been the first red flag. When I arrived, the front desk staff were all new, clearly confused, and told me they were "short-staffed." If you're short-staffed, why not reschedule me during that call an hour before? I arrived at 10:55 AM and checked in. At 11:05 AM, I received new patient forms via text -- why weren't these sent in advance? I filled them out right away. X-rays were done in silence from 11:10-11:20 AM. That's fine with me because I don't like small talk, but if you prefer friendly staff who make you feel comfortable, this place isn't it -- it's awkward and cold. At 11:20, I was seated for the dentist to do her usual 5-minute exam. No cavities, no deep cleaning needed. Just the standard cleaning and some filling. At 11:30, someone brought me a quote and told me to wait -- the hygienist would be in shortly. Then... nothing. From 11:30 to 12:00, no one came. Not even a courtesy check-in or an apology. I had to walk up to the front desk and ask what was going on. Their only response: "Someone will be with you shortly." I waited. 12:05... 12:10... 12:15. Still nothing. I asked again and was told they didn't know how long it would be. For a scheduled appointment made months in advance? The whole time, I saw only two other patients in the office. This wasn't some high-traffic day -- just bad management. Finally, at 12:30 -- an hour after my cleaning should have started -- the hygienist arrived. She apologized and told me that "there were technical difficulties, and my appointment should've been canceled," but no one notified her I was there and she was on her lunch break. So now you've got an overworked, frustrated employee and a patient who will never return. The cleaning itself lasted about 15 minutes. At checkout, they asked if I wanted to reschedule. Absolutely not. And no -- I don't want to email you or call you "so you can make it right." I don't accept the "we were short-staffed" excuse. If you can't manage scheduling or staff properly, you shouldn't be in the medical field. People trust you with their time, health, and well-being -- and this office failed on every level. People take time off work, unpaid, and have some decency in being honest if you can't see a patient. The only positive note is to thank the hygienist who was pulled from their lunch to work; may you find a better job in the future! read more

Was searching for a new dentist came here because it's a nice area and I was referred here from the people next-door that did my bone graph for an implant. 6 Months went by and they did not call me or try to schedule a day for me to get updated about my implant also I specified over the phone that I needed a cleaning. I told them when I showed up they had no idea what I was talking about they did not even bother to see if I got approved for my cleaning this whole time or schedule for my implant consultation. I liked the doctor, but the whole place is very unorganized. Not a good impression for a new dentist office for me. read more

Avoid at all costs. I waited over an hour and a half just for the Dentist to tell me that they wouldn't have time for my cleaning so I have to reschedule??? I just went in for a routine cleaning and tried to charge me $900 to do something with a laser? Which is only needed for severe bleeding gums, gingivitis and other serious oral issues which I don't have. What a joke. I have never paid more than $75 anywhere for a routine cleaning with insurance. Definitely getting a 2nd opinion because that sounds like a scam. read more

worst experience! They are so unorganized! The front desk sends automatic messages and doesn't actually check their schedules. I've come in a couple times and they said their main dentist has left the building already, had an emergency, or called out. I've heard it all from them and am so upset that I've been calling before I come in to double check I'm still good for my appointment now and they still make me wait an hour before actually seeing me. Very disappointed with their service here! read more

I have an AETNA PPO DENTAL UNLIMITED PLAN. The office people are very NICE. Beware, the Doctor noted I would need a lot of costly work. I had a 2nd Opinion, a Consultation from a Reputable Dentistry Office. He saved my Pocket Book. I call it UNREPUTABLE, UNETHICAL, UNNECESSARY, OVER DIAGNOSING Dental Services! read more

We came here for a routine cleaning for my teenage daughter. Waited over an hour before they called her back. It took another 40 minutes before they started the actual cleaning. When I asked the staff why it was taking so long, first they blamed it on new insurance (I brought my other daughter a few months ago and it took maybe 10 minutes, same insurance situation). Then they said they're short staffed. That's fine, but they should have let us know beforehand. There's no reason we should be at the dentist for nearly 2 hours for a basic cleaning. To top it off, they said my daughter needs a deep cleaning with antibiotics, to the tune of $2500+. I'm skeptical. read more

I was scheduled to receive a crown on 1 tooth. I was prepped for it 1 weeks prior which on customary. I received a text reminder yesterday which was nice. When I arrived at the office the door was locked. After several minutes I called the office and reached voicemail. I left a message asking about my confirmed appointment. I saw people arriving and going into the office next door so I went in to ask if they knew about the closed office next door. I was told that they would be able to see me there. Okay? They explained that they were short staffed. I sat down and waited 40 minutes. I went to the staffs desk and said my appointment was at 10:00am and asked if the Dr was running behind schedule? They decided that they would take me back and seated me at the other end of the suite. No apologies, no greeting from the assistant as she put the towel around my neck. After sitting in the chair for 10 more minutes the dentist finally came to me and nonchalantly asked how I was. I told him I was not very happy with the time spent waiting. He offered no reason or apology. It's so sad to see the quality of patient centered care being so unimportant in healthcare. There is no pride in good patient care in this practice. I guess I'm really lucky that the staff and dentist showed up for work at all! read more

EXTREMELY unprofessional. I was a new patient scheduled at 9am for my appointment. When I showed up, the office was closed without any warning. No call, text, email, and not even a sign on the door. Coming from someone who has to pay child care just to go to an appointment, this is bs. After this experience, I'll be going somewhere else. read more

They're staff are fast and very helpful.. Doctor Abdolhosseini is caring and very professional.. he is always on top all situations.. I highly recommend this office and doctor .. thank you doctor Abdolhosseini read more

Rescheduled 3 times over 1.5 month process for JUST teeth cleaning and fills. STILL not complete. At this point, I am moving on to a different dentist. Great people, but there is zero accountability or responsibility when it comes to scheduling. This is the worst customer experiences I've ever had in my life. There was not one, but TWO instances where Fullerton Dental Associates reached out the DAY OF my appointment to reschedule. The dentists/hygienists have conflicting schedules, so if you have to clean and fill your teeth and you want it to be on the same day, I urge you to stop wasting your time here like I have. Fast forward to my latest appointment, keep in mind this is after 3 reschedulings already and 1.5 months since my original visit. The morning of, I had this feeling where I just know that they are planning to reschedule. You don't get that feeling unless it's happened so many times before, where you start to feel it in your gut. Because of that feeling, I call them to absolutely make sure that after waiting 1.5 months, and rescheduling 3 times - that they are able to both CLEAN and FILL. They said yes. I get there and after further examining my teeth they said I need to do deep cleaning and not regular cleaning, and I will need to reschedule. On top of that, they were charging me more than the original quote. I was very frustrated at this point, and when I brought up all of this to the receptionist, she said it was due to my teeth needing a deep cleaning vs a regular cleaning. Which I'll give it to her, because it has been a while since I cleaned my teeth. But my point is, the client pays for the incompentency of the business and their failure to set proper expectations. I've been x-rayed 1.5 months ago, and the dentist mentioned potential deep cleaning. They've rescheduled me 1.5 months past my original visit, at the cost of my dental health, whilst knowing I may have needed deep cleaning. They scheduled me and promised me a cleaning and a filling, whilst knowing I may have needed deep cleaning. And when the day finally comes, they are surprised and need to reschedule because my teeth need deep cleaning. There are no systems in place and a serious lack of awareness as a business, which ultimately equals the reason where I felt so inclined to leave this review. I never leave bad reviews, EVER. But I hope that the business can read this seriously and make some changes. And I guarantee you if the company does seek accountability internally, they will not find anyone who wants to be accountable. And there in lies the problem with this business. Once you are able to escape the logistical nightmare, they do provide a great service, which is why I'm giving them 2 stars instead of one. The experience to get there is absolutely not worth the many months and reschedulings it took to get there. read more

Happy with my experience I got here at Fullerton Dental Associates! The front desk people are so sweet and kind . Thank you to Mireya and the doc that attended me . read more

Quick and easy for a filling, office very clean and staff very friendly! Made my experience 10/10

Just had a cleaning with the Hygienist Ainaz. I have braces and she made sure to give that extra care and was very thorough. She's awesome! I highly recommend. Also had my check-up with Dr. Hossein, always a good experience! Thanks FDA! read more

A little over a year ago, here people tried to pull my son's wrong tooth. An adult one rather than a baby one. They said they couldn't read the referral. It was clearly marked. I made another appointment and they did nothing, which led me to walk out, demanding they do not charge my insurance. They swore not to. Unfortunately, they were accidentally referred to again under the doctor (hossein) instead of the practice name. They only do extractions. They don't do anything more than a regular dentist can. The possibly needing a biopsy? Nope. Which is literally an extraction, then sending to lab to be examined. They won't do this. Ok. Call for records. They won't send them electronically with permission. So I have to pick it up. I walk in and she tells me she'll be with me in a moment. Then what I need. Ok, well..... I have records here to pick up. "For who? What the name?" I tell her. "Next door". Ok. So I go next door. (Ace although it's adjoined to family and cosmetic dentistry, and dr hossein). Ace sends me back to the other side. I walk out saying "this place has literally never been anything but drama." And back next door. I hold my hand out in a gesture like I'm asking for paperwork and state that they sent me back. That it was her side that had it. She holds her finger up at me and says "what is the name?" Again. Then tells me to wait. Goes and retrieves it. Hands it to me without saying a word and as I'm almost out the door, says "have a nice day". But was rude from the beginning. Go anywhere but here. Nothing but issues. Copy and pasting to both dental practice names. read more

Dr Abdolhosseini is amazing. I have phobia of dentists and especially when I had to get my wisdom teeth removed. I was worse then I child in his chair :) But he's so calm and knowledgeable that I didn't even realized when he extracted my teeth. I was asking him so " when are you going to start?". He looked and me and said all done :) Best dentist ever. I was so happy with him that I also brought my mom, my dad and my two boys here. I don't live to close to this office but I trust his experience and expertise that I make the drive to be treated right ! read more

I had two crowns done by Dr. Hoissen 2 years ago. From the same day it was placed it didnt feel right. He filed it down, "checked it", said it was normal for it to feel sensitive, took xrays. And after the 3rd or 4th time of going back and forth he finally suggested that the tooth was cracked originally and that I would need a root canal. Now that I finally found a new dentist, the xrays at this new place clearly showed gaps at the bottom of the crown, where liquid and sugars can get in causing me the pain I complained to him about 3 or 4 times. He obviously did a crappy job and is just a crook seeking to get more money out of me and my insurance at the expense of my teeth. The staff is great but Dr. Hoissen is a crook. read more

May 4, 2020 I got my wisdom teeth on my right side taken out. I was very nervous because of past experiences at a different dentist office , however this staff and doctor made feel really comfortable. The dental assistant explained everything throughly so I would feel more relaxed . The doctor came in talked to me as well and was done pulling them out in less than 10 min. I was shocked!! I would recommend to all my family and friends to go here. Never felt more taken care of . Thank you read more

Great place, They will work with your schedule, my kids are even comfortable going here and that is saying alot after the years of bad experiences they have had at other dentists, I love Evelyn at the front desk, she has been helping us for years and really is concerned about helping you get the right treatment and is very knowledgeable on how to work with your insurance companies. read more

FRAUD Beware! This Office has committed Government FRAUD. Under the Department of Health Care Services, Denti-Cal is designed to help the people that need dental services in a time of need. Unfortunately, I have found myself in need of this service. Upon my first visit,7/20/2016 everything seemed normal and as time progressed it went down-hill. Fullerton Dental Associates billed for 'delivery" of Dentures and were paid on 8/18/2016 just 29 days after my first visit. Subsequently, I had 6 appointments over 4-Monts and still no Dentures. They were quick to take MY money saying I owed a "Custom Tray Fee" and the Government's money by billing the Denti-Cal office of State of California-Health and Human Services Agency literally as soon as I left the first office visit. Shame on you Evelyn, the Office Manager, and I'm sure that the California Licensed Dentist(s), California Board of Accountancy are NOT happy seeing this and having to answer to your carelessness. Once again, People Beware! FRAUD! read more

The staff is friendly and kind and even Dr. Karr was kind a little too kind... His persona reflects someone that really cares about your oral hygeine... Well about $500 later I realized he was taking me for a ride. He implied that I needed "deep cleaning" because I had slight gingivitis... OK Gross first off because I take very good care of my teeth... Well I found out that the amount of cleanings that I got was for someone that had like necrotizing gingivitis not something that gargling with Listerine would fix. Regardless now that I don't work in that area I am on the look out for a new Dentist. SO if you have any recommendations I would really appreciate it... Thanks :) read more

This is a great place to get dental work done. Staff is very knowledgeable, easy going atmosphere all around, excellent service, very accommodating to your needs, seems they invest not just in good people but also on great equipment. I highly recommend this place and for sure I am coming back. read more

Let's be honest people, Going to the dentist is never fun... the dentist works with two of the most sensitive parts of the human body, the mouth... and the wallet. It makes it easier when there are nice and honest staff, doctors and people who actually care about you, your health along with your oral hygiene :) I hid from dentist for many years, as a result I needed a lot of work done... Wasn't so fun, actually it really sucked... but I didn't mind so much because of the great staff and treatment - While working on my mouth, if it was too much too soon, they would listen to me and give me breaks as needed. After the initial exam they gave me recommendations and honest truth which I really appreciated, didn't feel high pressured at all. I recommend them. Say hi to Serena, Dr. Cecilia and Dr. Chou for me :) read more

Since my last review I have gone in for multiple cleanings and widsom teeth removal. Fullerton Dental Associates made my operation as painless as an impacted wisdom tooth removal could be. No up-sell or pressure to buy products like other dentists. Price was very reasonable. One of the best dentist visit ever. read more

Im very disappointed they make my dentures the button one is loose and the upper one they make me 2 upper dentures and they dint not fit me good one it was big they where to big didn't make the teeth correct i look like mouse with those ugly dentures so i will not recommended this place the doctor told me if you are not happy i can refund the money to your insurance you can only return the upper one last time a when they said i have to return booth so i just used the bottom one so don't go here for dentures they don't know how to make them . And know i had to pay more money so they can make me a upper denture somewhere also this is why i never go back there i will not recommend this place read more

Everyone here is always so nice They are so accommodating and fit me in Not a long wait even when they said it would be. Thank you

Worst place to go to son broke front adult tooth... they checked with insurance said it's all approved for crown plus for good tooth insurance wouldn't cover cost for better tooth told them no problem. The the worst they cancelled twice and here all dentist say it's important to get it fixed asap ...then didn't here from them even though they said they would call us in 2-4 weeks!!! Instead in a month later get a letter saying they denied everything!!!f $#k this place !!! Guess they like to play with kids life's... I wouldn't recommend to nobody!!! read more

I just came from there and the first thing I did when getting home was change to another dentist. I needed a root canal and when I made the appt. was told my co-pay was $190. I went for the appt. and they tried to upsell me anywhere from a gold fused crown ($600) to a bridge ($3200). No, I said, I just want the $190 crown. Finally, the dentist began the work. About 30 minutes into the procedure, the front office lady (Emma--who is not very nice) comes running in and telling me I forgot to check the price with my insurance and my co-pay is actually $390. (BTW--I have never called the insurance to check if the price the dentist gave me was accurate.) I explained I agreed to the $190 but she kept saying they needed to get paid. Whatever. I went back for my crown today and this was elevated to the new office manager, Dwight. He explained he was sorry I was told the wrong price but the dentist office needed to make money off the service and the cost of the dentist alone for a root canal was $150. (I guess I was supposed to feel sorry they only made $40 off the service.) He said if I continued to treat at that office and went forward with a bridge or an implant, they would use the $200 to give me a "considerable" discount on further services. Sounds like bribery to me. I try to be ethical in my dealings and walked in ready and willing and in agreement to pay the $190. They doubled the price after the work began. Even if it was a mistake, they are bound to that agreement. They are not ethical and I won't be going back there. Learn from my experience and find a dentist elsewhere. read more

Be ware the owner of this practice owns one in Palm Springs. They took almost $5000 pre payments for my daughters Invisalign. 6 weeks latter still nothing and I've called Synergy in Palm Springs over a dozen times. They receptionist keeps taking messages. No one returns my call. They just ignore you. They also go through staff quickly. More like a clinic. Seems to highjack your money with no product ever given. Beware. read more

The WORST Experience I have ever had! ! Do NOT come here. My appointment was at 3 origionally, they had me come in at two. They didn't even open the doors until I called them at 215 because they were having a longer lunch? Docter himself didn't even see me for an hour then when he came to see me was watching t_m_z on tv instead off talking to me. I only had two wisdom teeth on my left side to take out didn't get home until 6:00pm!? I left in so much pain and with my left side of my face completely swollen and now bruised!!!! I have a very high pain tolerance but this was the worst experience of my life . Do NOT come here! You have been warned I will upload pictures! Wish i didnt have to give even 1 star. read more

See all

This is the type of dental office that will try to upsell you on EVERYTHING. I was told that I had severe gingivitis and would need a $150 deep cleaning treatment. I respectfully declined and sought a 2nd opinion. As I had thought, I did NOT have gingivitus and spent my $5 co pay for a regular cleaning. These people will try and rip you off- Not an office you can trust by any means read more

I have a lot to say about this business and before I get started please refer to my other reviews and notice that I really don't like to leave bad reviews unless it's ABSOLUTELY necessary. Few months ago in June I visited the office and was told that I needed to have my teeth pulled. No problem I asked for a quote and received a quote for $400 per extraction totaling in about $1200 plus. This seemed a little bit high to me so I decided to call other dentists and see what they charged for the same procedures a total of 3 other places quoted me lower than Fullerton Dental Associates so when they called me to ask if I wanted to move forward I kindly said no and that I was planning to go elsewhere. Later on that day I received an email from Fullerton Dental Associates saying that they could not reduce their price only to be followed by another email from a different person at FDA saying that they would gladly reduce their price. (SHOULD HAVE BEEN SIGN ONE OF THEIR DISORGANIZATION AND PLAN TO MILK THEIR CUSTOMERS FOR THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF MONEY) I called the office and let them know that I received two seperate emails with contrasting information and needed to be clear on where they stood in order to move forward with them. The ultimately agreed to price match the competing company and told me that I needed to have an extra Xray done at another facility in order to move forward. They let me know that the facility would charge $60 and that I would be reimbursed once the procedure was complete. I got my Xray and procedure done and that's when things started to fall apart. After my procedure I called the office easily 5 times attempting to reach Evelyn who had been speaking to me prior to my procedure. AMAZINGLY Evelyn was not available, I left my contact information MULTIPLE times and asked for a call back but poor Mrs. Evelyn must have been too busy trying to upsell all of the other potential customers to worry about me anymore. The once fast responding clerk now had more important issues to deal with. Finallly yesterday when I called again she was the one to answer the phone. I explained that I had been trying to reach her since June to discuss my reimbursment of my Xray. She first said "sorry" she hadn't called me back (as if it wasn't important as if I hadn't been calling for 4 months!) I let it slide and got straight to my point that I was calling because (as I mentioned in endless prior messages) I had not yet received my reimbursement for my Xrays. She said "Oh I can email you your EOB" and I said "I don't know what you're talking about I just want an explination of why I haven't received my reimbursement and when I will". She then proceeded to tell me that EOB means Explaination of Benefits and that that would give me the information I was asking for. Again I told her I didn't need anything to be sent to me that I was asking her a direct question. FINALLY (after what seemed like PULLING TEETH) She began to explain the policy attached to the Xray reimbursement and how "normally" insurance will pay but that in my case they didn't for whatever reason. I told her that I clearly understood what she was explaining to me NOW but that the information was usless to me AFTER the fact and that I should have been told that information PRIOR to surgery. Then she went on to explain the discount that I got on the over all procedure as if SHE did me a FAVOR. I told her that the discount I got and the insurance information she was providing were all besides the point. The point was: She told me I would get reimbursed and not to worry about it. She was EXTREMELY polite and responsive PRIOR to my procedure but once they got paid she didn't care anymore. She didn't return my calls for 4 months and now that I got lucky to get ahold of her she wanted to take the time to explain...UM NO She should have professionally and honestly handled the situation from the very beginning. The Xray was only $50-60 it's not the price that is disheartening its their morals that are in question their ethical procedure or lack thereof that is disheartening. I then asked to speak to her manager and Mrs. Evelyn told me that she didn't have a manager she was the "boss". HMMM I must've missed the "Evelyn Chuc and Associates" sign on the front of the building. So, I asked "Ok let me make this quite simple, Who signs your pay checks?" She finally said the doctor and after another solid minute of drilling her for an answer she finally gave me the doctor name. I later got a call from Alma another office manager who really didn't help with the situation either although she was friendly she just gave me the same explaination of benefits blah blah blah. Again, Its not rocket science I understand what the policy is now but it was not explained prior to the procedure and I was lied to by Evelyn. I will be writing to the Better Business Bureau and Business Consumer Alliance regarding this matter. read more

Was in need of having my wisdom tooth pulled immediately! They took me in with in minutes and was out 15 minutes later! Great staff great pricing. Highly recommended read more

I was skeptical about getting a check up after reading all of the awful reviews. To my surprise, I had an amazing time during my visit, and I had not been to the dentist in over 1 1/2 years because of a lack of insurance. The assistants were nice and the dentist was very informative and polite. I take good care of my teeth by flossing and brushing regularly and the dentist recognized that. I would definitely recommend him don't be fooled by the reviews. If people have a bad experience they are quick to voice it, but if they have a pleasant experience they don't always take the time to voice it, so I wanted to go out of my way to let you guys know it's a good place! read more

Two starts because they accept DMO. They also cleaned my teeth really quick, faster than I brush them! They don't have time to clean the top and inside of teeth. read more

This place is like a factory, knocking they patients QUICKLY. I just left the facility, waiting about 45 min before I saw the dr., then got some quick shots, yanked out my wisdom tooth 7 minutes later and I was outta there within 15-20 min of getting anesthesia. If you're looking for a high end dental office with a personalized experience, this is NOT the place to go. Job got done quick, time will tell if it was done right, but by no means is it a "delicate" office with the feeling that there is individualized focus on YOU. Seats are WAY outdated As well as most of the facility with some paint thrown on the walls to "freshen it up"! Cost was more expensive by 25% compared to my normal dental office, but they ARE open on Saturdays which is a rare plus! read more

Came to this office because I was told Dr. Hossein was very good and gentle. I am so afraid of coming to the dentist but this doctor is so good and I loved it there. I was also referred to a specialist for root canal and they have one that comes to the office which is so convenient for someone like me. I highly recommend this office. Thank you Fullerton Dental Associates!! read more

I love this office! The doctor is so good with my kids and I. The staff is so nice and helpful, I already told everyone about this place!

I have had a life long irrational fear of dentists, and because of this I let my dental health go for way too long. By the time I found Fullerton Dental I had been to three other dentists who I chose to never go back to because of lack of a decent bed side manner, and being judge immediately by my appearance (I am covered in tattoos and have a huge beard.) From the second we first spoke on the phone I felt comfortable and knew that they cared more about my health than how much money they could charge me. One of my favorite things about them is that there building is a little rough on the outside, but if you don't waste your time judging the exterior, you learn that the inside is beautiful and filled with people who genuinely care. I am happy to say that I have found my new dentist here and hope that you do the same. read more
