I arrived a little early and they were happy to start right away. I love how gentle the staff is with every aspect of the appointment. To prove this I am attaching a photo of my Oura ring asking me to confirm my "nap"! That is how gentle and relaxed I am EVERY time I need anything done here. This includes fillings! If you have any fears of the dentist, have sensitive teeth or just hate the usual dental office vibe. Come here! You will not regret it

From the moment you walk into Smile the Spa, you are greeted by warm friendly folks and a serene atmosphere. They always remember my name and welcome me like I am an old friend. For my first visit, I had a dental cleaning, and I knew immediately that this was a great place. It was such a thorough cleaning and the technology Dr. Terra uses is first rate. I was terrified of the dentist, and I had A LOT of work to do. Many crowns, fillings, fixing some really crazy teeth, and oral surgery. All this before I can do the "fun stuff" (Invisalign and whitening). Whereas other dentists have made my road so long I have eventually given up, Dr. Terra gently and efficiently led me through a healing process. Within months, I now have new teeth! Yes!! And I was scared, but Dr. Terra referred me to an amazing surgeon; I was able to conquer my fear because I knew that if Dr. Terra trusted them, I could too. Thanks to all this work, I will soon start the fun stuff! And yes, my new teeth (Crowns) are GORGEOUS. Dr. Terra is an artist. He makes the crowns himself and they are incredible (and done so so quickly - no more waiting around with a temp crown for months!). I cannot tell you the difference Smile the Spa has made in my smile, my confidence, and my overall health. I am also on a fitness and health journey and Dr. Terra is always interested, remembers my goals and interests, and asks how I am doing. He supports a healthy lifestyle and is super wonderful to be around. Overall, I am so grateful to Dr. Terra and the team at Smile the Spa. Truly a life changing experience.

Going into it, we were nervous. It's a big procedure, and trusting someone with something this important isn't easy. But from the moment we walked in, the entire team made us feel comfortable, cared for, and confident that we were in the right place. They removed all of his teeth and gave him a completely new smile--and the transformation was honestly life-changing. Seeing my father smile again with confidence meant everything to me. It's something I won't forget. Dr. Sean is truly an expert in this procedure. You can tell he not only knows exactly what he's doing, but also genuinely cares about his patients and their outcomes. We're so grateful we found this place and trusted them with my father's care. If you're considering All-on-4 implants for yourself or a loved one, this is absolutely the place to go. I even booked an appointment to fix my own failing implant after. Highly, highly recommend it.

I followed the prompt it gave me when I called, and it went exactly how it said it would. They got me in the same week as a new patient, handled my cleaning, and fixed my permanent retainer all in one visit. I'm very particular about quality of service and my teeth in general, and it showed right away that the entire staff took the time to review my information and make the experience feel personal, not rushed or pressed for upsells. It was an incredibly warm experience. Customer service was excellent. The team was efficient, took care of everything I needed, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. Extra star for having chapstick on hand. My lips usually dry out fast during appointments, so that small detail was the icing on the cake. I walked out with clean teeth, my retainer fixed, and hydrated lips. Highly recommend this office if you want an independent dentist that really cares about their patients.

I took the chance on calling the office, though it was 6:57PM, thinking I would get the Answering Service or voicemail. Was I ever thrilled when Desireé actually answered after I held a bit! She was able to make an appointment the next morning at 11:30AM with my dentist!! WHAT A RELIEF!! I was VERY happy that Dr. Robert Nochez and Long Beach Smiles Dentistry was able to fit me in on such short notice the very next day! It ended up being a root canal and a crown because of the vertical cracking of the tooth but at least it wasn't an implant!! And this is even crazier, the next week, a crown I have had for many years feel out in the sink I the morning while I was water flossing! I figured it would be no big deal and they could just re-cement it but nope--there was decay next to the gum and they had to clean it up and I needed another crown since the margins no longer match. Again, it was great that they were able to fit me in when I called that morning; and with my doctor, once again! Tracy was so great, so empathetic and we worked out a time of 11:00AM which fit with another doctor appointment! Thank you, Long Beach Smiles Dentistry!

BEWARE OF LONG BEACH SMILES at 5533 Stearns Street in Long Beach!!!…read more They are committing insurance fraud and defrauding their customers as well. They not only overcharged me for services that were capped by my insurance but their mismanagement of my account with a secondary lender caused my credit rating to plummet. If you have an HMO Dental Plan, they are prohibited from charging anything over the "Maximum Allowable Charges" that are set by their "capitation" agreement with the insurance company. I was overcharged by $3,388 for dental work and only found out because I spoke with the insurance company the OTHER time they tried to overcharge me. I only found out after demanding itemized receipts and comparing them with the fees on the Delta Dental website. Besides the issue with the outside lender, I have overpaid them $844.00 out of pocket and they refuse to pay the money back. I will be taking them to court but can only imagine how many more people they have done this to. If you have ever gone to Long Beach Smiles at 5555E. Stearns Street in Long Beach, please ask for your itemized receipts and compare them to the maximum allowable charges. Please contact me if you find anything. I believe that this could rise to the level of a class action. It can't just me me. Thanks, Kellie

It will probably take 7 to 10 visits to really experience this place, providing a solid honest review. What I mean about experiencing, critiquing the work performed and the billing invoices sent for process of payment. "My review remains neutral at this time." For my two recent visits, this place felt like a manufacturing assembly line. So many patients in the waiting room. Like a constant traffic jam, waiting to be called on, Nexxxt!. It feels so congested. Not the traditional feeling I am use to when visiting a dental practice. " Felt that DMV feeling " I called for an appointment to get my teeth cleaned as a new patient, unfortunately on my first visit I wasn't treated for a cleaning but given a consultation along with Xrays. After consultation, they threw a large invoice bill on me. Everything felt forced. Stating I need this , that , you should do this. I questioned the fact, is the work being requested on the dental invoice really necessary? Felt aggressive and forced. My first impression of this dental office is for them to Hit the insurance as hard as possible, to collect and benefit from. The invoice felt off to me. So I requested a Pre authorization invoice before I commit to the plan they are presenting. I also have double insurance through my spouse. I still have to pay for a deductible. Hmmmm? Seems odd. Yes, this place is high-tech. Has the most up to date equipment to utilize which is a plus, giving me the confidence that the work being performed on my teeth is in good hands, in terms of being relaxed in calm format. I Can't take that away from this dental establishment. Technology Kudos for that. My 2nd visit, I was able to get a cleaning. Patty did a fantastic job as my assigned Hygienist. Great work! Big props to her! They even give you a goodie bag with a toothbrush and toothpaste after your teeth cleaning procedure has been completed. Overall, I am going to give this place a chance. If I see any indication of hidden or extra charges that was not agreed upon. I will cease to continue my visit. I do not tolerate dishonesty. Overall, everyone is friendly and professional. Going to continue my 3rd visit. Plenty of parking in the back. All is pending on the time you arrive.

During my first visit, they used advanced technology to examine my teeth, which made the experience much more comfortable compared to past dental visits.

I'll definitely continue coming back.

I'm really disappointed with how Bixby Modern Dentistry handled the cancellation of my appointment…read more At 3:02 p.m. today, I received a voicemail letting me know that my appointment for tomorrow, September 2nd at 2:00 p.m. was being canceled because the dentist who was scheduled to see me was no longer with the practice. When I called the office, I asked why I was being notified less than 24 hours before my appointment when I had already taken the day off work and arranged childcare. I was told that the dentist had informed the office on Friday, August 28th, and that they had been contacting patients since Monday. I completely understand that unexpected things happen and that a dentist leaving the practice may not have been something they could control. What I found frustrating was the way it was handled. There was no apology or acknowledgment of the inconvenience this caused. I was simply told that this was what happened and that they could reschedule me. Rescheduling wasn't really an option for me. I had already rearranged my work schedule and childcare, which is not easy to do. Thankfully, I was able to find another dentist with an appointment available tomorrow morning, so my day off and childcare arrangements won't go to waste. Ultimately, I decided to take my business elsewhere. The cancellation itself was disappointing, but the lack of communication and empathy was what really bothered me. I hope the office can put a better system in place for situations like this. Things happen, but patients deserve timely communication and, at the very least, some acknowledgment of the inconvenience when changes are made at the last minute.
