My wife uses La Paz Dentistry and I will also be using them as well for my next appointment. The doctors offer quality care and competitive pricing. The office staff are caring and professional. The facility is clean and well maintained. Quality dental care by caring professionals. What a great concept! Highly recommended read more

Everyone at this office is so caring and nice. Dr. Golez made sure I was comfortable the entire time and made me feel like I could trust him and his team. I would highly recommend this office if you have dental phobia, they will take great care of you. read more

This is a super cool dentist office, the front desk staff is always super friendly/quick/helpful. The lobby is nice and clean and they have water and lip balm! Parking is super easy. The hygienists are really patient/knowledgeable/gentle (s/o Shari ). She is wonderful, very thorough yet quick. All the dentists are cool too, they are very upfront with what needs to be done vs what can wait (disclaimer: this is the only dental office i've gone to for 15+ years so maybe i don't have much to compare it to but also maybe that's a selling point). The office itself is very clean and they always seem to be updating to whatever is the newest dental standard. Dr. Golez is a new addition to the office and was able to squeeze me in for a last minute procedure. When I had some concerns the following week, I was able to get in very quickly and he took a look and explained everything until I had no questions. I really appreciated the time and patience he took when I was asking (in hindsight!!!!) somewhat silly questions. read more

This is the best place for dental care, because the dentist is actually happy to see the patients! I have never seen a dentist who actually wants to see his patient until Dr. Tanaka! He is so passionate about educating patients about oral health and how to take care of their teeth, and he really makes you feel comfortable being there as he is genuinely happy to offer care to his patient! This is The office is also full of wonderful team and staff, very clean and very comfortable! Highly recommend this place to everyone! read more

I am following up regarding my previous review. After posting it, Office Manager Debi contacted me and stated she had "no idea what is going on." I asked her to please do her homework, look into the billing concerns, and call me back with clarification. Instead of receiving that follow-through, I now see a public response stating there is a "misunderstanding," yet no one has provided any actual explanation or resolution. This continued lack of accountability is, unfortunately, another example of poor office management. To be clear again: the dentist and hygienists are fantastic. The clinical care is not the issue. The issue is billing practices and communication. Patients should not be expected to pay large sums upfront simply because the office does not want to navigate insurance. Dropping insurance carriers without notifying long-term patients and then demanding cash payment is unacceptable. Being asked to pay in full and "hope" reimbursement comes later feels like paying for open-heart surgery upfront and trusting the office will try hard to get your insurance to reimburse you. That is not how professional medical offices typically operate. After 25 years as a loyal patient, I expect transparency, proper communication, and responsible management. I am still waiting for a clear explanation and follow-through. Brandy Case read more

My previous dentist of many years was retiring and my old crown cracked and I had to get a new crown. The office is super efficient, friendly and clean. Dr Yang did my crown and I was very happy with the results. He was very skilled and took his time. The shade was spot on. Debbie, my hygienist is awesome! read more

I hadn't been to the dentist in over 10 years and was so nervous about going, but this place completely blew me away. The office is super clean and the vibe is really welcoming. Judy helped me with X-rays and was the absolute sweetest. She instantly made me feel comfortable and even gave me a tour around! Debbie did my cleaning and explained everything as she went, which I really appreciated. Then I met Dr. Golez, who has such a great personality. He gave me helpful tips, answered all my questions, and you can tell he really knows his stuff. I got some really good recommendations from him. The laser cleaning they do here was honestly the coolest thing. Totally pain free and my teeth have never felt cleaner. Their pricing was really reasonable too, and booking the next appointment was super easy. Such a positive experience. I'm actually looking forward to going back (and I never thought I'd say that about the dentist). read more

ALWAYS a great experience. No heavy upsell of stuff we don't need, highly professional staff and a beautiful office.

I would like to thank Dr. Yang and the staff for making my implant placement experience easy and nearly painless! The team is highly professional, kind, and the facility is very clean. I'm looking forward to continuing my care with La Paz Dentistry. read more

My partner (KJ) recently went for a full mouth implant consultation to Dr Tanaka in the Laguna Hills office. The staff was incredible, office spotless, and the evaluation was thorough, including complimentary full mouth panorama CT scans. Dr. Tanaka spent a great deal of time, reviewing the xrays and his examination. He does perform full mouth implants, but he was extremely candid and honest with me. He told me my case was too complex, with lots of bone loss; and I might require out of the ordinary implant sites (ie, zygomatic or pterygoid). He referred me to GPS Dental Implants/Smiles in Dana Point. I was extremely impressed with Dr Tanaka,. He could have easily performed the implants on me, but his candor and honesty was so appreciated and his referral to GPS went well. I would 100% recommend Dr Tanaka for his skilled work and dental specialties. read more

I have been going to La Paz Dentistry with my kids for years now, and could not recommend them more. Aside from being very good at what they do, literally everyone there is very kind and personable - it's genuinely pleasant to see them when I arrive! As far as the office itself goes they have some pretty cutting edge equipment that makes everything as smooth and painless as possible - I was all impressed at their laser cleaning equipment when I was informed that they have something even better coming in soon - I definitely respect that. Again, they are a top notch practice and I hope to stay with them for years to come! read more

If you're going to read a review about this dentistry, make it this one! I relocated to Los Angeles over one year ago, and I still take the drive to come down to this dentist. The front staff is extremely accommodating and helpful. On top of that, the entire team is very friendly. They take the time to either take notes or truly remember the little things about you. I have attended this dentist since I was in elementary, and soon as my son is old enough to go here, he will be! My Technician Lauren is so kind, her smile and warm heart will make your day. She makes the experience a pleasure. Dr. Yang has been my dentist for over 10 years, and he is amazing! Truly cares about your wellbeing and does not rush in and out, he takes his time with every concern. I will forever be a loyal patient here! read more

I came back here for the first time in 2 and a half years and they welcomed me back with open arms. I bought their in house plan instead of dealing with insurance and Lauren took really good care of my teeth and my gums and made them clean again for an affordable price. My last dentist said that I have gum disease but this dentist just gave me a regular cleaning and told me to clean my gums better. If you are looking for predictable and reasonable costs and no surprises and don't want to deal with insurance, go with La Paz Dentistry! read more

Discovered La Paz Dentistry thru Facebook explaining a painless procedure of an implant with them. I was intrigued and called them and made an appt. and was told it would be with Dr Tanaka. I was really impressed with 1st class service I received with the office. The dental assistant was also great and conducted several detailed x-rays with the most up to date technology I've experienced in a dental office. I came in for a 2nd opinion cause i wasn't really happy with my original dentist who was not able to give me results without having to make an appt with a periodontist. Well Dr Tanaka gave me results and told me what needed to be done and also gave me options and also prescribed me antibiotics where my original dentist didn't even bother prescribing the antibiotics, which he knew i had an infection on the tooth. So thank you for your service and care Dr Tanaka and I will be seeing you soon! read more

Always nice, compared prices to another dentist and they were the same and more conveniently located. You can watch Netflix or listen to music with Bluetooth headphones during dental work which is a plus. Easier to get through when you're distracted! read more

I didn't even get to see the doctor yet I couldn't get past the extremely rude receptionist. I Simply asked if she takes Delta dental and she says we take Delta dental premier. And then she goes silent I thought she put me on hold. No she was waiting for my reaction Instead of looking up my plan to see if I'm covered is that too much? At the end of the conversation I said or maybe I should try back a little later and she loudly said I just walked in the door . I hope the doctor reads this. Get somebody with some people skills to answer the phone. You just lost 2 clients. read more

Awesome root canal! Ever thought you would read a sentence like that? Believe me, I never thought I would write that... I hadn't been to the dentist in years and I started having tooth pain. I asked around various online sites and I decided to give La Paz Dentistry a try. Incredibly friendly staff, very professional atmosphere, and an overall incredible experience. They spent two hours with me doing X-rays and analyzing each one of my teeth. It turned out I had a broken tooth and needed a root canal. I was terrified to get my first root canal (I hate shots/doctors/etc). The root canal process was surprisingly smooth and I was finished before I realized what was happening. They did a phenomenal job making sure I was comfortable throughout the process and the procedure was expertly performed. I was able to go back to work right afterward. I would HIGHLY recommend you give them an opportunity to show you why I was blown away by the staff, the service, and the skill of the entire organization. read more

La Paz Dentistry - La Paz Dentistry entrance. - General Dentistry Near Me - Laguna Hills, California

See all

Excellent service. They were able to accommodate my schedule with short notice. Very clean facilities and very courteous all around.

Why 1 star? Because you can't give no stars. This place suffers the same thing so many other dental practices seem to do to make more money. I scheduled a cleaning and the hygienist was the worst I've ever experienced in 40 + years. She barely made any effort to clean my teeth and from the beginning was setting me up that my teeth were in bad shape. Never-mind that I never miss a day of flossing - eat literally zero sugar and yet they claim I need $800 worth of cleaning. That has to be the biggest bunch of baloney I've ever heard from a dentist. I guess my previous dentist missed all that. Then a month after the appointment they are sending me a bill because my insurance didn't cover all the cleaning. Even though I gave them my insurance card ahead of time and they said the cleaning would be covered - they now want an additional $50. Well I can add these guys my list of dentist I do not trust at all. Definitely won't be back. read more

Excellent! I completely DISagree with the reviews from Robert and Brian. I had such excellent care here. i was gifted with a discount card and the office lived up to it completely. The doctor, Dr. Tanaka, was both professional and kind. He listened to my concerns and needs and did a VERY thorough exam, extensive xrays, and truly state of the art equipment. Then, the hygienist also did a very thorough, compassionate and virtually pain free cleaning. I was NEVER pushed to pay more than the gift card offered and was treated with care and respect. I highly recommend La Paz and Dr. Tanaka and I'm a crotchety old lady who is usually hard to please. I'm happy to have found them. read more

This is a revision to my prior review. I no longer can afford to go to this practice as they no longer care about affordable healthcare. They only accept their own insurance. I loved my hygienist and stay with her from more than 9 years. This is no longer the same dentistry founded by Dr. W read more

Tritia is amazing! I wouldn't trust anyone else with my teeth! She is honest, friendly and doesn't try to up-sale you on unnecessary treatments. But she will tell YOU TO FLOSS Which if you aren't YOU SHOULD BE!!!!! read more

This place is the best love dr tanaka was just there today his office staff is great. I would recomend him for everything

I never imagined in a million years I'd feel compelled to write a review about my trip to the Dentist. Thanks to a coworker, I was recently referred to La Paz Dentistry and was blown away by the entire experience. This place didn't exceed my expectations, they set a new standard. Beginning to end, the experience was top-notch. Here's what made it exceptional; - Awesome staff: Friendly, fast and clearly love their jobs. - Knowledgeable Dentist. He is very skilled at her trade and takes the time to assess and make appropriate recommendations. read more

I have been going to La Paz Dentistry for about 27 years. Dr. Yang is my favorite after all these years. The new office is state of the art! Anita Bessler read more

5 Stars PLUS!! Lovely new office/ from the time you open the door, you are greeted with smiles and kindness. I was very impressed with the staff- the dentists are on their game and take time to explain carefully and answer your questions . They have " state of the art" equipment snd it was the most thorough cleaning I've ever experienced. Everyone took time to explain what was needed and why. I highly recommend La Paz Dentistry! I'll return in 4 months and I'm referring my friends ( even though I'm learning many of my pals are already loyal patients!!!! read more

Dr. Tanaka is Truly one of the Best Dentists around! My family and I have been going to him for years and I have had some major dental issues to contend with from many years before I met Dr. Tanaka. So Needless to say, I have always had lots of anxiety going....but Dr. Tanaka changed all of that! He not only is a skilled expert at what he does, his kind hearted, gentle, calm demeanor always puts me at ease! His staff is also wonderful and kind! And he also has the latest and best equipment. Thank You Dr. Tanaka and to his staff for all the goodness you do! read more

I have been going to La Paz Dentistry for 15 years. You are in great hands with both Dr. Tanaka and Janine, one of the Hygienist. Quality of work and absolute pain control will put you to ease. Brand new office and location. Highly recommend!! read more

The staff is friendly and accommodating. Very proficient at their jobs. Dr Tanaka is a great dentist. He's gentle and thorough.

Wow! I couldn't be more pleased with the all around service I got at La Paz dentistry; from the front office reception area to the cleaning area and finally to the X-ray area. All of the employees were professional and friendly. I left that day feeling as if I had a whole new set of teeth with the amazing attention to detail that was placed upon my cleaning. Thank you everyone at La Paz read more

Dentistry is rarely fun, but LaPaz makes it easy and pleasant. Appointments are handled well with reminders by email and text. I've never waited more than 10 minutes for my time. Hygienists and dentists are efficient, friendly and considerate. They do cosmetic as well as 'regular' dentistry. I had my teeth straightened with InvisiLine as well as crowns replaced and normal cleaning. I've always had a good experience here. read more

There is no other dental office I would ever consider going too. I moved to CA in 2013 and luckily found La Paz Dentistry. They are over the top professional have state of the art equipment amd customer service beyond believable. Dr Tenaka is a perfectionist, so kind and such a wonderful person. Also, have great Covid friendly process from the moment you enter office and through your dental procedure. Look no further for the best dental practice in Orange county! read more

I've been a patient of Dr Wodiske and his team since the early 90s. I've always been pleased with their work, staff, and services. Everyone is friendly in the office. If there is ever a problem, they find a solution quickly. I highly recommend this La Paz Dentistry read more

I went to La Paz Dentistry three years ago with pain in my tooth. Dr Yang fixed my tooth with a root canal and I had zero pain after. He was amazing and so gentle!!!! I am normally the biggest chicken and he did not hurt me at all. He made me feel very comfortable. The office staff is very professional and so kind! I will never go anywhere else. I will be a patient of Dr. Andrew Yang for life! I would give them a 10 if I could here. I would highly recommend him to everyone I know. read more

Dr. Tanaka is amazing. He did a fantastic job on my front tooth, which I was very apprehensive about. Would certainly recommend him to friends and family. read more

I have been going consistently to this dentistry for almost ten years and I have nothing but good things to say. The staff is knowledgeable and caring. They have helped me more times than I can count. A+ read more

If there was a way to give more than 5 stars, I would. La Paz - Dr. Wodiske specifically - is the best dentist I have had in my entire life, and that is a long, long time -- if I were to guess, I've seen 20 dentists in my lifetime from age 5 when I saw a dentist for fillings (too much candy and no fluoride in public water supplies yet), and a few years ago when I selected an Irvine dentist based on a Yelp review, but I wasn't happy with the Irvine dentist's suggestions or his plans for redoing my bridge that I had since age 19 (it was loose and the color was no longer matching other teeth/work that had been done since)...In 2011, I noticed La Paz dentistry in the same building as my urologist, peeked in the window, and Yelp'd them, and I knew that the next time I was ready to talk to a dentist about redoing my bridge, I would call them, and then last year (at age 55) one of the teeth associated with my bridge crumbled, and I immediately called La Paz Dentistry. They got me in right away, and I explained to Dr Wodiske that I wanted a brand new WHITE smile (I was tired of my yellowing/gray color). He came up with a plan to replace the bridge, plus veneers for other teeth in front to match, and also refilled my silver fillings with white fillings-- my SMILE LOOKS FABULOUS. I was a very difficult case as I had bone loss too (around the bridge), but he knew exactly what to do -- he worked closely with his lab (that is located right next door) to make sure that the size/shape of my new bridge looked very natural and all my teeth were now the same color! I can't say enough good things about Dr. W., and all his staff - they are all kind and caring and excellent at what they do. I love how Dr. W. listens and explains everything he is doing, and that he always takes his time, as much time as needed...He has a gentle touch, always "checking in" as he works on my teeth, to see if I'm still "okay" (and if there is any pain at all, he will stop and give more pain meds before proceeding). When it comes to cosmetic dentistry, he is an "artist" -- my teeth look great -- very natural. I would call my job a restoration, more so than cosmetic because as I aged, I became very unhappy with my teeth, unhappy with my smile, and now I can smile and laugh with confidence!!! All of this was just in time for my retirement and the start of a new career in Voice Over/Acting. If you are reading this, you don't need to look any further for a dentist -- Dr. Wodiske has been a God-send. He is truly, without a doubt, the BEST dentist I have ever had work on my teeth!!! Big Kiss and Hug for everyone there! XOXO read more

Back in December I had a schedule issue and was not happy about the problem. I did resolve it with the Lab by being a delivery guy. My comments on yelp were showing my frustration . I must say the work by Dr. Yang was perfect and the office ladies and Tecks also . Today they understood my frustration and have issued a credit to my account . Thank you Leon read more

LaPaz Dentistry is hands down the BEST in the business!! I do not know any of the employees or business owners personally. Their commitment to providing the best care possible in a pleasant, fun environment is why I love going to the dentist so much! My preferred hygienist is Debra, because of her expertise, I never leave a cleaning feeling like my entire face just had a shower. She's careful enough that my gums are never bleeding & I love how she takes the time to explain everything to help me understand the "why" behind the importance of dental hygiene. My preferred dentist is Dr.Yang, because he's professional and provides exceptional service. The office director Kathy is always very helpful & greets you with a smile at every visit! She's very resourceful whenever I have questions prior to a visit or even if I have follow up questions later. I've been a patient here for a few years now, and I highly recommend this practice to anyone! read more
