My 5 year old has been seeing Dr.Wong for the past 3 years and he looks forward to his dentist visits each time. The team is very kind, understanding and playful with shows their great quality of care towards the patient. The doctor is patient and takes the time to explain any issues and next steps. They truly listen. And I can't forget to mention the goody bag at the end with essential dental care and toys. My son enjoys picking out his new tooth brush. read more

Dr Wong is fabulous, and Mandy is fabulous! My 3 kids have been with this practice over 15 years. All the best qualities you need from a dentist's office, you can find them here. Dr Wong is professional, friendly, approachable and most importantly he is caring. During each visit, he always makes sure he talks to the kids and shares his thoughts with the parents to make sure we learn the best practices and use them at home. His stuff members are super stars as well! They are so friendly, patient and supportive. No matter how crazy your schedule is, they will make it work. Shout out to Mandy, you are the best! read more

I can not say enough about this dental office. Dr. Wong, Isela, Mandy and Bridget. My grandson went in to have a cavity filled by a laser. He is probably the worst dental patient. His last dentist failed several time filling the cavity. Dr. Wong and his staff made it happen. They were super patient and got him through the whole procedure with ease. You guys are awesome! Thanks. read more

The staff are amazing! Dr. Wong is so nice and caring. Very gentle with my 5 week old son. He took the time to call and explain the procedure even before I had the consultation. The location is easy to find and the office is cute. Very kid friendly. read more

Both my daughters have been with Dr. Wong since they were 2-3 years old. My oldest just graduated HS and she just had her very 1st cavity and filling at 18 years old. Dr. Wong and his staff were sooo patient and supportive with her. She was nervous but they have always been unbelievably amazing! I hope my oldest can stay here for a couple of more years before having to switch to an "adult" facility. Love, love, love the entire staff!! read more

We have been going to Little Smile Makers from the beginning and my daughter is now graduating middle school. Best dentist and staff by far. My daughter looks forward to her dentist appointments. read more

Dr. Wong is an excellent and caring dentist. Several years ago I called him at closing time with what I thought was a dental emergency for my son. He kept the office open late for us to get treatment. This morning, he answered his cell at 7:10 and helped us immediately with another urgent issue. Thanks again, Dr. Wong! Highly recommended. read more

So many great things to say about the Dentist and his staff! This is the 1st dentist my kids feel comfortable with, and we have been going now for a little over two years now and each visit has always been pleasant. I love how they don't try to upsell you on any service they always recommend what they feel best and have even pulled back to what will be best for the kids and their needs. They have even worked with my wife as I was transition to new job and new coverages. Keep up the great work! read more

Dr.Wong made a special visit to our preschool class. The students were ages 3 to 5 years old. Dr. Wong spoke to the children about the importance of dental hygiene. He brought his helper, Mr. Monkey a stuffed animal . All the students had the opportunity to brush and floss the stuffed animal teeth. Dr. Wong discussed about which foods help our teeth grow healthy, the importance of brushing. We are thankful for this opportunity. I am sure most of our students will be seeing him again. read more

Little Smile Makers - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Dublin, California

My kids were last here February of 2020 and I'm writing a review over a year later because I can't get over my experience with the dentist. I want to preface this by saying that my kids liked Dr Wong and had a positive experience. With that said, what more can a parent ask for, right? Well, my own personal experience with the dentist was not as pleasant that I ended up taking my kids to another pediatric dental group and I now understand why the person who referred me to Little Smile Makers was a little hesitant about it. I liked the entire staff from the receptionist to the hygienist but I did not like the dentist himself. He was condescending. He ordered me to stop giving my kids multivitamin gummies. He didn't even bother to ask why I did not want to do that nor did he even suggest alternatives to gummy vitamins. If he was open to discussion over why I felt the need to give my kids multivitamin gummies, I would've been a lot more receptive and would've continued going there. But he just outright commanded that I stop giving them gummies because of cavities. To be clear, one kid to this day has no cavities and the other kid still only has the 2 cavities since the dentist discovered them 18 months ago and I continue to this day give them multivitamin gummies. When the dentist was filling one of the teeth with cavities for my child, he was huffing and puffing over how my 5 years old would lose focus and slowly close his mouth and he huffed and puffed on how dare my child be congested while he's working on his mouth. Look, it's not my kid's fault that my child has chronic allergies. Again this was before the pandemic hit. When they were able to open their practice up again during the pandemic so that they could fix my child's 2nd tooth, they told me that I could not be in the room with my child while he was getting the last tooth filled. When it dawned on me that I did not trust leaving my child without my supervision under his care, I could not bring my kids to this dental practice anymore. I now see a different pediatric dentist who I trust to leave my kids without me being in the room. read more

I'm giving this place a one star rating simply because of RUDENESS from employee named "Esela"... or pronounced this way. She was rude to my grandchild by raising her voice and being manipulative. Making inappropriate and ugly comments to a six year old...Threatening to turn off the movie. She shouldn't be allowed to work with children with this NASTY attitude. Dr. Wong and other staff are AMAZING. Beware of "Esela". read more

Based on all of the positive yelp reviews I picked this dental office. Almost all of the reviews are positive and all for Dr. Wong. He doesn't work on Fridays so I ended up seeing Dr. Joanna Cheung. My child has been here about 4 times, a few cleanings and one filling. The hygienists have all been wonderful and are very gentle with the kids. They are very cautious to try to make the child feel comfortable and try to use positive reinforcement. They say things like "once you're done you can get your stickers"etc. I have nothing but good things to say about the hygienists. Now onto Dr. Cheung...she's not great. When she filled my child's cavity she seemed to get annoyed that she was moving around and getting antsy. My daughter was only 3 at the time so moving around and crying during a filling is typical. Dr. Cheung just lacked the "human touch" in my opinion and didn't know how to comfort my daughter. She even said several things that really did not sit well with me. She said to my daughter "if you don't sit still I'm going to turn off the video and you can't watch it" and "if you move you won't get a toy later". She said a few other things along those lines which really annoyed me. That is now how you approach and "comfort" a crying 3 year old. I felt she only made the situation worse. My daughter used to like the dentist until that filling incident. Fast forward six months and we are back for a cleaning. My daughter cried even more the hygienist started cleaning her teeth because she still remembers the bad experience from the previous filling appt. Then comes Dr. Cheung to examine my daughters teeth. She's lacking the fun personality that's needed when engaging with kids. Then she starts nagging me about flossing. I get it, it's her job to educate me and encourage flossing. Again, her approach was all wrong and she spoke to me in a very condescending manner. I'm a grown ass person, I get it, move it...don't nag. I had to tell her to stop nagging, yes, she was that annoying. I'm going to switch over to see Dr. Wong to give this place another chance. My suggestion, don't bother with Dr. Cheung. read more

Dr. Wong and his staff are "awesome" I have been in the dental field (Orthodontics) for over 30+ years and I am very hard to please. My grandson who is 7 went in for an extraction. He was very nerves but Dr. Wong and his staff made him feel so comfortable! He didn't even know it was removed, and this was his front tooth. I wish I could give them a "10" Best Ever!! read more

We have been patients of doctor Wong for 4 years now. Both of my kids love him! He is so friendly and is amazing with making the kids feel comfortable. The staff is great and they are the best, even when one of my kids doesn't have an appointment, they always are so generous and make them up a goodie bag as well as a coin to get a toy from the machine. My kids love that they get to pick a prize at the end! More recently, my son slipped and fell and had a mouth injury. I called the doctor but they recommended that I call his dentist. Dr.Wong squeezed us in on short notice and was so accommodating. He put me at ease once he took a look at my sons mouth, I don't think I could've slept that night had they not gotten us in. They were just so great and I really appreciate the business that he has built, it's solid for sure. read more

We have been coming here for almost 10 years and still love this place. Dr. Wong is great. Our kids are looking forward to the dentist check up each time. read more

This dentist is THE DENTIST you want to take your children to. He is so kind and makes the kids feel so comfortable that they will NOT FEAR the dentist as so many of us do. This will probably sound crazy...BUT...my youngest two daughters say these exact words to me. "When are we going back to see Dr. Wong?" Need I say more? My daughter hit her mouth and pushed her front teeth back...pretty badly. I rushed her to our normal/adult dentist who is also wonderful and she did nothing but scream the whole time. She wouldn't even let our dentist look in her mouth...it was crazy! The following day, she woke up with the side of her face completely swollen...it had abscessed....and turned in to an infection. When I called our dentist, she let me know that I really needed to take her to a children's dentist. We found Dr. Wong via a referral from a close friend and my kids have been IN LOVE since then. My daughter had no problem letting him look at her mouth, do X-Rays, etc. The whole appt. was nothing short of a miracle if you had seen her reaction prior. I cannot give Dr. Wong a strong enough referral...He deserves 10 Stars out of 5, he is that good! read more

First of all I was recommended by a friend that use this dental office. I wanted a dental office close by so I thought we'll try it. They booked an afternoon appointment for all 3 of my girls. I show up with all three kid and they tell me there's no appointment and ask if I was at the right office and place. They even said this has never happened before. Checked computer no files of our last name and then they look in binder and said that we have a paper file but not sure what happened. No apologies made and said they can do tomorrow. I can't do tomorrow and the appt. I made originally was two weeks ago. Meanwhile my daughter spilled juice on the floor and screaming Mom! And the other reception yelled " there's tissue over there." Bad first impression and bad first experience and I haven't even had an appointment. Enough said! I've been to enough dentists office to know what's good this isn't it! read more

There is a reason why LSM has a 5 star rating.....everything about them is great. Dr. Wong, the staff, the clean offices, everything. I was recommended to Dr. Wong by a friend after not being happy with another dental office. Dr. Wong reviewed the previous dentist's assessment and suggested monitoring my child's dental issue. Visits later, the dental issue has not gotten worse and continues to be an issue to be monitored. My previous dentist recommended immediate resolution(they wanted to bill me for more procedures). read more

Stay away from them if you don't want to see any surprise charges. Not sure how people deal with them.They posted a charge on our kids account and we always requested to check with the insurance first before any services. Talked to them on the phone and they are ok losing the customer but don't want to take care of small charge. Thank you little smile makers i was hoping you would take steps to resolve it. I will pay the charge but will stay away from you. read more

I took my little one to see Dr. Wong after an unsatisfied visit at another dental practice down the block. Dr. Wong and his staff showed genuine cares and interests for their little patients. He could get my daughter to be at ease in her chair, which is a miracle. He took time to educate to me, the parent, explained the science behind teeth and everything you need to know to take care of them. I highly recommend his office. His staff treated us with respect, unlike some other places in the area. read more

Dr. Wong is an excellent pediatric dentist. His staff is knowledgeable, friendly and caring! My son and daughter look forward to seeing the dentist every 6 months. As a Mom, I am very pleased with the rapport Dr. Wong and his entire staff have maintained over the years. Thank you Little Smile Makers! read more

Dr. Wong treats all of my children. He is very patient and takes time answer all your question. His staff is friendly.

Alex is a rockstar with kids. We had a chipped tooth incident from a biking accident and he repaired it the day of the accident with no pain (except from the fall itself!) and the tooth looked better than the original. read more

Excellent excellent excellent! Dr. Wong is great with kids - very patient and takes time to explain the procedures to the kids and makes them feel comfortable. Plus the office is well thought out and completely geared towards kids - from the kids' movies playing on multiple screen (including one on the ceiling for longer procedures) to gumball style machines to dispense prizes at the end of a visit - this place is the Chuck E Cheese of dentistry. Highly recommended. All his staff members are also excellent and very friendly. read more

We love this office. Thank you to Dr. Wong and his whole staff. Everyone is friendly and professional. I have two boys who are patients at LSM and every check-up from appointment to check out is a very smooth process. read more

Amazing dentist and staff. He is personal with both the kids and the parents. He is using cutting edge technology but makes sure you understand every detail of what's going on with your child. His office is fun and inviting. Both of my children look forward to their 6 month appointments. They have late hours to help working parents with scheduling too! read more

I really want to like this place. Dr. Wong and other assistants were great. My daughter came in for regular check-up twice, did great and loved the little gifts brought home with. However, they have very poor scheduling system. Each time after check-up, I like to schedule the next 6-month check up at the front desk. But no one seems to keep my appointment in system. No call back for appointment reminder. First time, I took it as accident and rescheduled by calling them. Second time, I called and left message on the Friday afternoon for confirming the upcoming Monday appointment. NO ONE calls back. Disappointing with their customer service. I am making a switch for sure! read more

This place ruined my fucking teeth. I hate this place so much and you should never go there unless you want your teeth ruined by rude people and to be lied to. They literally yelled at me for spitting into my fucking hands because they put shit in my hands. read more

We love Dr Wong! He is very knowledgeable and gives excellent advice and service to my daughter. Dr Wong has been caring for my daughter for years and although she is a teen now, my daughter says she wants to continue getting treatment from Dr Wong. read more

My daughter has been coming here pretty much since they opened. (My son goes here now too...he's 2). My daughter adores Dr. Wong. He's fantastic with kids. Friendly, funny...makes them feel calm and relaxed. Fortunately we've never had to use him for an emergency (like Nadine). But he's such a fantastic and competent dentist that I would never hesitate to take either of my kids to him in an emergency, should the need arise. read more

Dr Wong is both of daughters dentist and they both love him. They really look forward going to see Dr Wong. They like the treats and the coin that they receive from him. Dr Wong is very patient, gentle, caring and answers all of your question. read more

For all the reasons already stated and more, Little Smile Makers is an exceptional place to take children for dental care. Dr. Wong is gentle, connects well with kids and has toys set up so that they kids can play the dentist with stuffed animals before they become the patient. I've been amazed to see what a great job Dr. Wong does with my 4 year old who can hardly sit still. He's sent us home in the past with a dental kit designed to help my child become more comfortable with going to the dentist and it has worked. Additionally the ambiance is so kid friendly, it makes it easy for kids to enjoy themselves. Sadly they are no longer in network with my insurance carrier, which is my only complaint, but I won't hold that against them. read more

My daughter loved going to see Dr. Wong. He is so nice and friendly to kids. For any parent whose child is scared of dentist - they should definitely come here. My 3 stars is because of the way they deal with kids with cavities. I came to Dr. Wong because my daughter had a small cavity on her front teeth. For some reason, he didn't fill the cavity. We came again, he didn't fill it. He kept "cleaning" her teeth. Finally he said she had other cavities and reccomended putting my daughter under general anesthesia so they can fill them all. My daughter is really good on the chair and is not nervous at all. I did not understand why they could not just TRY to fill the cavities the normal way. I talked to other parents and I guess that putting kids to sleep is the new way dentist prefers to fill cavities. It makes them more money, there is zero chance of dealing with a scared kid and they can do all the cavities in little time. As the parent, it is not my preference to handle cavities this way for my kid, esp when these teeth are going to fall out in 3-4 years. It seems like a lot of medicine and alot of money, so I was not falling for it. I talked to parents that did the procedure and they would not reccomend it as it was the scariest experience to have their kid iv'd so much medicine. As you can guess, general anesthesia is not covered by insurance. As a determined parent to get my daughter's cavities filled - I found a wonderful dentist that was willing to try. Within 2 months, we were able to fill all 6 of her cavities. Our new dentist's technique for giving novocaine shots worked well. My daughter did NOT feel a thing. The topical anesthesia and her being busy watching Barbie on the tv kept her from noticing what was going on. She was on the chair for almost 90 min. My daughter just turned 4. If you are in a similar situation with wondering if general anesthesia is right for your kid - feel free to message me. I would say just try. If your kid freaks out, then I guess you need to do it. But your kid may surprise you and save you some money. Thanks for reading! read more

I came here for a 2nd opinion for my 3 year old son since his regular dentist recommended anesthesia. I wanted to find another option for my 3 year old and Dr. Wong came highly recommended by someone I trust. First off, I'm not impressed! The front desk ladies were having private conversations about their personal lives while I was sitting in the waiting room with my son. I can hear everything they were saying. So unprofessional! The lady who had me go into the little room to verify my son's information and also give me pricing information really pissed me off. She should add some friendliness to her face. Her smiles were too damn fake for my liking and when my 3 year old was turning the lights on and off, I could tell she was not happy. Her face showed how much she hates kids and she's working in a pediatric dental office! During her pricing breakdown with me, her whole demeanor spelled out B-I-T-C-H and she condescendingly talked down to me as if I wasn't comprehending what she was talking about. This woman really did it for me and that is the major reason I'm writing this review! I can't believe these are the types of people handling the front desk and Admin work. Next, Dr Wong was nice! I liked him and his customer service. But guess what? His prices before insurance are super high! 65% higher than my son's other pediatric dentist...this all means more patient out of pocket costs. Lastly, Dr Wong determined 9 cavities were found in my 3 year old. Well, his regular pediatric dentist said 6 while I had my own dentist take a look who also said 6. That is quite a difference! Just beware of high prices and possible additional work that is not needed. read more

Dr Wong was great for a few years until this year his staffs and him snapped at us because we didn't want our 5 years old son to get x-ray since he had one last year. As a parents u don't go against our will unless its life threatening but its not. After we said no Dr Wong n his staffs got upset and said something which is not really appropriated in front of our child.....The cleaning service was not satisfied that day either. Bad service no customers. read more

Best pediatric dentist I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Dr. Wong knows his stuff and is always super nice and easy to talk to. He's not a scary dentist, he is one that you are always happy seeing and want to go see. There are always little small gifts that he gives to the kids when they go see him and there are tvs around each chair so while you're waiting or while you are getting your teeth cleaned you can watch movies! The place is a nice place to be in too because there are a lot of stuffed animals and colors everywhere. If you need to take your kids or any kid to see a dentist, take them to Dr. Wong. The name "Little Smile Makers" is true. read more

Not knowing where to start looking for a dentist for my 3 year old, I turned to Yelp. Dr Wong and staff were very nice and welcoming. My son never cried or showed any hesitation to be there. There are flat screen TVs in front of the dental chair, so while the Dr was working on my son's teeth, he got to watch Finding Nemo. He even got a goody bag! Very Very pleased with everything! Yelpers did not let me down! read more

It's hard to review someplace that you haven't been to yet, because I don't want to tarnish the readings if the dentist is good. However, when your child needs urgent services in they've been referred to you by their dentist, you would think that they would make an effort to schedule an appointment. When we called, they couldn't get us in for over a month for teeth that were almost so in repair a bowl that they needed to be pulled out. We ended up at a Danville dentist and they were amazing. read more

They said yes we accept dental insurance from Delta dental, they didn't take time research there is Delta Premium and PPO. They are not in network of Delta Dental PPO. I end of have to pay $130 for the cleaning. When i call back to them, they are not willing to work with me. She didn't even want me talk to their Doctor. I will say Dr wong is nice Dr to kid, but when you have to pay that much money just for cleaning there is tons of Dr out there. read more

The nurse I got was not friendly with my kid. She doesnt smile. Instead, she has a mean expression on her face. Not only does she not look friendly, she doesn't talk friendly either. At least not kid friendly. She talks to my kid like he's an adult, not a three year old child. The dentist is the same. They need to learn how to treat a child. If they do have kids, I wonder how they talk to their children. read more
