    April V.

    Haven't had the best experience with dentists in the past and I was having a toothache so I knew I needed to go asap. Heard about Dr. Anthony through a friend who recommended him and decided to visit him. Location was easy to find. The clinic is very clean and the staff were friendly. I needed my upper wisdom tooth pulled out which got me very nervous. Dr. Anthony was very kind and made sure I knew each step that he was doing. During the extraction process, he was checking to see if I was doing alright every few minutes. Overall, it took about 10-15 for each side. I really appreciate Dr. Anthony for being great at his job, making me feel comfortable and overall making my experience at the dentist so much better. 10/10 would recommend to everyone!

Overall, Dr…read more Kevin Su and RDH Shyla have been professional and trustworthy, which is why we kept coming back. However, our recent experiences have been very concerning since a new dentist, Tara Norouzi, joined. First, both my wife and I specifically scheduled appointments with Dr. Su, but without prior notice, our exams were handled by Dr. Norouzi instead. We were not informed or given a choice, which felt inappropriate. Second, my wife had a troubling experience last year. After learning she had prior Invisalign treatment, Dr. Norouzi strongly insisted that her teeth were in very poor condition and recommended crowns, dismissing her request for conservative treatment. She was told that without crowns, her entire dentition could deteriorate. Concerned, she sought a second opinion overseas at a top dental hospital, where doctors determined it was a minor issue treatable with medication. The problem resolved quickly at minimal cost. More recently, I experienced something similar. I went in for sensitivity in a molar that had previously been filled. Despite explaining clearly that the tooth was sensitive to temperature and pressure, I felt my input was not fully understood. Based on testing, Dr. Norouzi concluded that the tooth nerve was "dead" and recommended extraction and a crown, which seemed inconsistent with my symptoms. When I asked about more conservative options like a filling, those were dismissed, and I felt pressured toward more aggressive treatment. The communication was tense and not patient-centered. After these experiences, I've decided to cancel my future appointments. I strongly recommend patients seek a second opinion before proceeding with major dental work.

From the moment we walk in, the entire team makes us feel comfortable and cared for like we're family. The office is clean, modern, and welcoming, and the staff is always friendly and professional. The hygienists are incredibly gentle, thorough, and take the time to explain everything clearly whether it's a routine cleaning or a more involved procedure. Linda was my daughter's hygienist until my daughter moved away, now Linda is my hygienist. My former hygienist was Toni until Toni moved away. I can't even say who I like better because they were friends and so much a like! Linda remembers everything we've ever talked about so it's like going in to visit with a friend. Dr Ash and Dr Truong are both so great and also care for us like we are family when we visit. One of my sons got braces this year and Harmony Dentistry works very closely with his orthodontist. This week, my son had a filling fixed, and Harmony was able to call the orthodontist to pop in very quickly to remove one of his bands so the filling could be replaced. How convenient for all of us! Some fun amenities include cold water bottles in the waiting room, Netflix to watch on the ceiling televisions with headphones, and a paraffin wax treatment for your hands if you like! We've recommended Harmony Dentistry to many friends over the years and will continue to do so. It's rare to find a dental practice that combines skill, kindness, and consistency the way they do. We're so grateful to have found them!

I left the office with confidence! I don't care where I live in OC, I will make the drive every time.

I was able to make an appointment with Dr. Yu a few days later he took the time out of his busy schedule to survey the tooth and told me that it was a concussion and to let it heal. I came back a couple weeks later and got some x-rays and thankfully it healed about a month later. I'd appreciate his care and great bedside manner, even my anxiety. I recently came back for a check up and cleaning and I have to admit I got the best cleaning from Cindy. She started with asking me about any concerns I had and I mentioned enamel erosion. Well what I thought was enamel erosion was a lot of tartar on the surface of my teeth and she was able to really scale through all my tartar as well as clean the stains on the bottom of my teeth and make my teeth polished, clean and shiny like a new set of teeth! Also love the front desk staff! They are always so kind and organized. I actually was able to come in earlier due to a cancellation because they had made a note of it late last year!

His staff is very professional and wonderful. I had the honor of having the doctor clean my teeth yesterday. As he worked, he told me what he was doing and how did my teeth and gums look.. I really believe that dental health is so important to overall health and living a long and healthy life. I insist on cleaning every four months. My gums are so important to me and my health. I had to wait six to eight months to get in to see Dr. Yu, but it was worth it. My past dentists tried to upsell me or tell me I needed unnecessary work, but that will not happen here. I highly recommend Dr. Yu.

We were charged over $1,000 out of pocket (more than $3,000 before insurance) for something that shouldn't have been done. They also took an excessive number of X-rays--18 before a routine cleaning, and many more afterward just to "check" their work. For simple fillings, they removed far more tooth structure than expected, leaving the tooth hollow and then recommending crowns as a follow-up. While the staff appears friendly, it often feels like they are pushing as many procedures as possible rather than prioritizing what is truly necessary for the patient.
