I love this Man, he did my surgery so so many years ago when I lived in the Valley, trying to prevent me from having surgery, which I did end up having and successfully I've recovered, I need to go visit him soon just to say hello.. Truly Patty Beigel read more

Lawrence P Lorenzi, DDS - I'm older now, he might not recognize me update to follow. - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Newport Beach, California

I have been trusting Dr. Lorenzi with my implants and oral surgery for over a decade. He, along with his staff, are caring, compassionate and just wonderful people. I was, and am, a difficult restoration case and I can't imagine going anywhere else for care. I highly recommend this practice. read more

What a great experience. I had Dr. Lorenzi and his staff remove my last Wisdom tooth yesterday. I opted to stay awake for the procedure, and Dr. Lorenzi was very professional and kept me calm, informed, and relaxed during the procedure. His staff is top-notch as well. They did great, a plus to staying awake for the procedure was to see how well of a team they worked together. It takes more than a great doctor for a procedure to go well - and this team did great. I didn't feel the injection at all and walked out smiling.. well, smiling on the inside. read more

Amazing...professional, immaculate office, warm and caring Staff. Had Prior horrific implant experience with a dental surgeon in South OC. I was terrified to go through it again. DR LORENZI so thoroughly explained everything...and said if I followed his instruction after the Implant Surgery....i wouldn't have any pain. ....he was Right!!!! I highly recommend him.... read more

Had my wisdom teeth taken out yesterday and I am absolutely in love with Dr. Lorenzi and his staff. The office is so cute and has a very warm feeling to it. Dr. Lorenzi's staff made me feel comfortable and welcomed. Billing was an absolute breeze and I never had to pay upfront. They called my insurance right away so I knew exactly how much I would be paying at the time of the surgery. The surgery was an absolute breeze and they gave me many tools to make sure I did not have any problems after the fact. Love, love, love them! Would recommend to anyone!! read more

What a terrible Doctors office. My dad was a dentist for years so I know this industry and literally grew up around dentist offices. I had an appointment and waited in the reception area for 45 minutes. After I filled out 10 minutes of paperwork which clearly stated my insurance is Delta Dental. The proceed to recommend I need a specific type of X-ray, even though I had provided X-rays my general dentist had taken, knowing Delta was not going to cover it. They then charged me $93 for a consultation. And the consultation was in the interest of the dentist office making money and not in the interest of what was the best course of treatment for my specific dental situation. When I go into a dentists office, I feel I should trust that A. only tools for diagnosis that are needed should be asked for and that fees should be clear and B. Recommendations on course of treatment should be in the best interest of the patient. I feel so lucky I was able to send X-rays and diagnosis to my dad who was able to call BS when needed. The front desk in this office are rude, unempathetic and frankly have a general attitude. I am only giving 1 star because Yelp is making me. read more

My dentist had been advising me to get my wisdom teeth extracted for a few years, but I had been putting it off due to cost and basically because they weren't causing me pain. But the threat of future complications made me wise up and finally go see Dr Lorenzi. He advised me that my extraction would be quite complicated, due to the locaiton of my teeth below the gums. I booked in for my extraction. The operation went smoothly, and my recovery was as good as I could expect, for a difficult surgery. Throughout the process, Dr Lorenzi and all his staff were kind and helpful. Overall, i'm glad I went to Dr Lorenzi for my operation. They made me feel comfortable, and did a great job on my teeth. read more

I love Dr. Lorenzi and his wonderful staff. I found Dr. Lorenzi through a referral from a colleague. I had ruled out four other oral surgeons for my 12-year-old son's procedure. We were very pleased with the service and results. My 15-year-old daugther had her wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Lorenzi without any issue. They provided lots of supplies following the procedure and called after we arrived home to check up on her. Oh, and billing is a breeze. I never paid upfront and the staff will verify, before any procedures are done, how much the insurance will cover. There is free wi-fi, complimentary coffee, tons of magazines, and cushy chairs in the waiting room. I appreciate these little extras while waiting for my kids. There is parking right in front of the building and is just a few blocks from Fashion Island and Sprinkles Cupcakes. read more

Dr. Lorenzi and his staff are AMAZING! !! I had been having some serious discomfort on a tooth that I knew needed to be removed. ...I have a HUGE dental phobia, and it wasn't easy to sit in the chair...They got me in and taken care of in minutes. ..I would totally go back to them for any oral surgery procedures that I may need...I may not be excited about it but if you want to feel comfortable and feel like your at home, because they care like you were there own family members, then definitely go see Dr. Lorenzi....There team is amazing...And I'm glad I choose this office.. read more

I got my wisdom teeth out and I was pretty nervous about it but dr. lorenzi and the staff made me feel super comfortable. They called a couple days later to see how I was doing also! They are EXTREMELY nice here! I would definitly reccommend!! read more

Not a very good experience. Staff couldn't get my insurance correct, then after 4 months told me they don't accept my insurance. Never got any follow up with surgery. Over priced and not very professional. read more

Just got back from getting a wisdom tooth pulled with Dr. Lorenzi, and I feel fantastic. The staff was warm and supportive, and Dr. Lorenzi is a genius at what he does. I opted to do the procedure under just local anesthetic, so I was awake for the whole thing. It was over before I knew it and I experienced absolutely no pain. Dr. Lorenzi, you are an artist! As for the other reviewer's complaints about billing, I had no problems with billing. Everything was explained to me up front, they were one of the few places that took my insurance, and the price seemed reasonable to me. Thanks, Dr. L! read more

I had an emergency tooth extraction and called many other oral surgeons but they all put me off. It was an emergency and Dr. Lorenzi was not only able to see me right away but he took the tooth out while I was there. He is empathetic and caring and I would highly recommend him. read more

I had my wisdom teeth pulled out yesterday. I expected a lot more pain than i am experiencing now on day 2. Dr. Lorenzi has great bed side manner and was quick and efficient with my surgery. read more

I needed a wisdom tooth extracted and my dentist said it's a simple procedure and should cost around $400. Well this was not the case with Dr. Lorenzi. They start off by FORCING you to come in for a "consultation" although you've already had a consult and a referral. I had to wait almost 45 minutes to see the Dr. After 2 minutes of "consultation" he said ok thanks and left. The charge is around $150 to wait 45 minutes only to talk for 2 minutes. Can we say SCAM?? Then they say I have to pay the amount up front in FULL and whatever the insurance company pays them they will reimburse me. The amount was almost $1,1000!!! I've never been to a dentist that does this and when I asked why Sara (the wicked witch of the desk) who tried to feed me some BS that the insurance company's pre-authorization takes 6 weeks. I just had a visit to my personal dentist and it took 3 days for a pre-authorization. I told them this and asked to get a copy of the pre-authorization and they refused! It seems like they are trying to force you to pay up front for an over charged amount. I also thought it was weird that there is a fee if you have to reschedule SCAM AGAIN! If you are reading this and are considering them DO NOT GO... Unless you want to wait weeks, spend twice as much, and enjoy paying upfront then find another dentist! read more

I had to have a wisdom tooth removed as it was impacted and causing me severe pain. Dr. Lorenzi was referred to me from another dentist and I could not have been any happier! His staff was very friendly and gentle with my situation. They understood the pain I was in and provided me with everything I needed to treat it properly. The procedure was done quickly and for the most part I was not in pain. They called to check up on me that afternoon to answer any question I may have and make sure everything was alright. I really appreciated the call. The follow up was a simple quick visit to make sure everything was up to par. All in all, for a wisdom tooth extraction my experience was very pleasant. For any future procedures I will be definitely coming back to Dr. Lorenzi. read more

Went in for a consultation last week, Dr Lorenzi is so stinking sweet! He was so kind and informative, he educated me on everything and patiently answered all my questions. He made me feel so comfortable and at ease (as much as you can be with getting wisdom teeth removed, haha) He really knows his stuff and doesn't pressure you to make any decisions, he just gives the facts which was so nice! Any other place I've been to I always felt pressured and scared into the procedure without understanding why. It was very refreshing to have such an honest and informative Doctor! read more

I JUST got my wisdom teeth extracted and i couldn't be more happy about how the procedure went. First of all, the staff is GREAT. I have been searching for a good dentist for YEARS now. NONE of them know how to do business and the costumer service is so terrible- But that is NOT the case with Dr. Lorenzi's office. EVERYONE is amazingly nice and helpful. No doubt that procedures are expensive- but c'mon it's Newport Beach :S but I can say confidently my extractions cost around $600 for 2 teeth and they were worth it for the staff was GREAT not to mention how easy and pain FREE my extractions procedure was. After it was done I was literally like, wait that's it? I got my first two wisdoms extracted by another dentist somewhere else and during that procedure even though I was "numb" I was literally crying, but it was not the case here today. I couldn't feel a thing and that too with just local anesthetic. I'm just happy the procedure went well, I was treated well, and I am not in pain! WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR? Definitely telling all my friends and family about it! I don't mind paying the money if im going to be satisfied in the end- isn't that how it should work?! :) Thanks, Dr. Lorenzi! read more

Loved Dr Lorenzi. Had emergency, needed to get wisdom teeth removed. Called on a Friday afternoon and he got me in 5:20 that same day. Scheduled an appointment the following Monday to remove the teeth. Quick easy and painless. Didn't feel or remember a thing. Post op was perfect. No complaints. Great service. Flexible and good looking front desk. All Good ! read more

Dr. Lorenzi performed jaw surgery on me. Had a horrible experience. He had to redo it three weeks later. He messed up my jaw so much that I had to redo my entire bite. Had to spend tens of thousands of dollars to fix this I do not recommend Dr. Lorenzi. Do you not have him perform jaw jsurgery for you. I would not trust him to take out a molar. Find a new doctor. Not him. I also asked for my medical records and they were questioning me why I want them. They must be afraid. These are my medical records. I am disappointed with his office and his treatment. I highly recommend that you find a new oral surgeon. read more

I had implants put in by this man. I have been having problems with my bite ever since. I told his staff that I did not want to be put asleep, I signed for what I thought was sedation, I was put asleep and he did more than what he was supposed to do and claims that he didn't. My bite and face is so messed up and it changes every day. I told him how I felt about it and he blames it on another dentist and claims he did not touch my bite. He did, because he woke me up and ask me to smile then started pressing down on the top of my head to close my bite together, I was like what are you doing, his helper, turned up the sedation and within a second I was out. The bad thing about it is that this man knows what a bite can do to a person, he knows that your jaw is not supposed to be narrow and go inward. However, he brought my implants too far inward. The bad thing is he knows all of this, however, did not tell me what he was doing, he me put asleep, and did what he wanted and did not even care one bit how I felt afterwards. I think he is a racist, so, if you are black, don't; go to him because he will not treat you with care although you will spend lots of money for his services. I did not see this side of him until after he had done the work and I expressed my dissatisfaction to him. His is a Racist Doctor. And I am saying this based upon my experience and how I was treated. read more

What a rip off and rude to boot! Go somewhere else to get your wisdom teeth removed, especially if you have an infection and it's kind of an emergency. read more

After sustaining a traumatic facial injury last June, I have been seeing my restorative dentist who referred me to Dr. Lorenzi for placement of dental implants. The office called me to set the appointment, and I agree, the wait was longer than expected to see him, however, to be fair, he is a busy surgeon and I expected this. On initial consultation, I was impressed with Dr. Lorenzi, the office, staff and had to wait less than 10 minutes to see Dr. Lorenzi after my paperwork was processed. The procedure was thoroughly explained to me, as well as potential complications, and specifics to my complicated case. The office billed my insurance and I owed only $18.00 after insurance payment for the consultation. Surgery was scheduled and coordinated by the staff including visits to my restorative dentist pre-op and immediately post-op to have my temporary bridge removed and replaced. I did have to pay up front for part of my service which my insurance did not cover, but this was made very clear from day one and not a surprise. The surgery itself, thus far, has been a piece of cake. The pre-op, intraoperative, and post-op care were excellent. I was called the night of and morning following the surgery, and to date (5 days post-op) everything is proceeding wonderfully. No case is the same, however, after the first night, I have only needed Ibuprofen for minor pain and slight swelling. This was my third surgery following my accident, needless to say, I had a bit if anxiety which was quelled by Dr. Lorenzi and his calm demeanor. The post-op nurse wheeled me to my appointment immediately after recovery so my husband wouldn't have to leave me to get the car. I am an RN with a Master's degree and, trust me, very particular with my healthcare and providers. I highly recommend Dr. Lorenzi without reservation. read more

I had tooth pulled and implant placed and my son had his wisdom teeth pulled. This is the most professional, caring oral surgery office. The staff is amazing and the Dr Lorenzi is just the best. read more

If you have any history of problems with past dental work, this is the place to go to get it fixed. Dr Lorenzi is a genius and the best in the USA. He is busy and professional. He takes the time to listen and he cares about the outcome. I am thankful to him and his staff! read more

My daughter was treated by Dr. Lorenzi and I found the staff to be friendly and professional. Dr Lorenzi informed us what to expect and explained after care. I am happy to report that after having 4 wisdom teeth pulled she never had to use the pain medication. Since my insurance had been verified before the date of extraction we only paid the copay. I would absolutely recommend this office. read more

I saw the doctor yesterday for cleaning around an implant. He was very gentle with the novacaine and a professional

We were searching for an oral surgeon for my daughter to have her wisdom teeth removed. With her being extremely needle phobic, not just any surgeon would do. Well we found the VERY BEST!!! Dr. Lorenzi, not only was extremely patient and caring with her, her extractions were done without a hitch! She had no problems afterwards and even said that the experience was so much better than she expected! Not only is Dr. Lorenzi a wonderful surgeon, his staff is very professional and helpful. If you're in need of an oral surgeon, look no further. Dr. Lorenzi is the only one I would trust with my family!! Thanks again for everything read more

All three of my kids have seen Dr. Lorenzi. The office staff is warm and friendly. Dr. Lorenzi is very professional and went above and beyond the call of duty with my nervous daughter. I will forever be grateful for the positive experience my kids have had. read more

Great dentist! I got my four wisdom teeth extracted. Quick, smooth and very friendly staff. Very straight-forward on the pricing. Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Lorenzi is THEMAN!!!! I was referred to him by a dentist who thought a root canal woul not hold for more thana year and that I may consider an implant instead. After my consultation with Dr. Lorenzi he determined that I also needed bone grafting and th e procedure would require multiple visits and surgury.I have been to so many dentists but never felt so positive and safe with his knowledge and expertise? He is top of the line, outstanding in the field of implants and bone grafting and no matter how intense the procedure was I had no pain during or in the days of recovery.his staff makes every one feel like no request or concern is unimportant. I think I began in 2003 with Dr Lorenzi had reason to extend our relationship for through 2012. He has the solution for any dental problem and without him I probably would have a mouth with clickety-clack dentures.I will forever be his greatest cheerleader and am so grateful for the smile he has given me.. read more

I recently went into Dr.Lorenzi's office to have my wisdom teeth extracted. the price was comparable to everywhere else that i looked. the staff were amazing it was my first time going under for a surgery especially an oral one, and they were professional, kind , and made sure i was comfortable the entire time. They were flexible , and worked with me and my financial shortcomings. Dr. Lorenzi may have seemed as if he zipped in and zipped out of your consultation, only because he is a very busy man, but during my consultation he stayed around and made sure all of my questions and concerns were answered. i payed for mine out of pocket and like i said they were very reasonable with working in my financial parameters. The surgery went great, and the staff was very friendly and helpful when i woke up. I just want to close this review by saying i think that capabel's problem seems more with his insurance company, and general knowledge of how businesses work . Again i would highly suggest giving them a shot especially if you are going in for your first oral surgery they were AMAZING! read more
