I've been going to Newport Bay Dental for over 20 years and Dr. Boerner is such an amazing dentist! He is friendly and honest and someone I can trust with all my dental work. Office is clean and staff is so professional. I'm so blessed to have found him through a friend's referral. Thank you Dr. Boerner and team for all that you do. You always put an ease to my anxiety when it comes to my dental work and cleaning! read more

I really deliberated on posting this review but after sharing my experience with friends and family they told me I was very mistreated and I should never go back there. I came in for a simple cleaning. From the start I was patronized about my teeth's health. She pulled up images from 6 months ago and pointed out my cavities and root canal. I told her I've been doing a lot of homeopathic remedies to help with tooth decay and to make my bones stronger since I couldn't afford 6 fillings and 1 root canal at the moment. She told me there's nothing I could do to help with my tooth decay. I told her I would get additional xrays done to compare and see if what Ive been doing has improved my teeth's health. As she started to work on my cleaning she told me I had a lot of plaque and asked if I brushed my teeth. I said of course I brush my teeth. She said "are you brushing twice a day?" I said yes. She then asked if I floss. I said yes I floss almost every day. She told me I wasn't getting my gums. I said "okay I'll start getting my gums." She continued to talk about my tooth decay and how I need to get these procedures done ASAP. She repeated a couple times that my teeth will all start to fall out because the bacteria is spreading and I'm going to need dentures at a young age. I said "what like 10 years?" She said possibly 10-20 years at the rate YOURE going". She then said "I'm guessing you wont use fluoride" I said no, as I don't believe in Fluoride. She told me my mouth was acidic. I needed to balance the ph so if I won't use fluoride I can use baking soda. She also told me to buy an electric tooth brush. I told her I don't use plastic toothbrushes and I use bamboo. She kept going and going is my point. I felt uneasy, scared, frightened. I couldn't wait to leave. I have never dealt with someone so uneasy, so rude, so belittling at a doctors office in my life. My teeth aren't perfect. I've had cavities since I was 10, unfortunately I have very bad genetics. I can tell you I brush twice a day and floss almost every day. I love the dentist. I love getting my teeth cleaned. I'm very serious about my health. The past 6 months ive rinsed with coconut oil twice per week and I drink 16oz of celery juice which is said to heal tooth decay. Not only do I feel like my teeth have immensely improved in the past 6 months but my acne is completely clear, I no longer suffer from adrenal fatigue or seasonal depression. I take VERY good care of my health. I rarely eat sugar, and if I do it's natural sugar. read more

Newport Bay Dental - Love my Dentist! Thank you Dr. Boerner and staff! - Orthodontists Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I have set in many Dentist chairs in my life. Recently retired, I switched to Dr. Boerner, 2 yrs.ago. Best Dentist Ever. Takes the time to explain the procedure, makes you feel comfortable and at ease, and did great work on my crowns. Arcy at the Front desk is great and always friendly and helpful. The Hygeinist- Ruth also does a great job on my bi -annual teeth cleaning, while giving good advise for long term care. To top it off. I just had an implant done. original process- Zero pain. That night- Zero pain. the next day and several weeks- Zero pain. Post-op bleeding, inflammation, or infection -None. 5 stars is not enough to give to Dr. Boerner and his Team. read more

Went in for a zoom teeth whitening and came out satisfied. Great service and was quick. No problems or issues and the dentist told me exactly what the procedures would be. I experienced extreme sensitivity but it was as expected. My gums were a little damaged but healed up fine. White teeth didn't last long but nothing I would blame the dentist for read more

I had an emergency dental situation the day before Thanksgiving and called Newport Bay Dental at 10AM. They were very nice and scheduled me an appointment at noon same day. I hadn't been to the dentist in around 6 years and was very nervous about it. Dr. Boerner is the nicest dentist I've ever been to and the only one in 33 years that hasn't made me nervous / self conscious about my teeth. My tooth pain was near unbearable, but Dr. Boerner gave me a series of Novocaine shots with adequate time in between to allow everything to go fully numb before operating. He did a quick root canal and made the experience pleasant, telling jokes and being personable throughout. The chair was very comfortable, each has a personal TV playing the food network (though he told me I could watch whatever I wanted). At the end, Dr. Boerner gave me his cell phone number and asked to call or text over the weekend if anything was hurting, and told me he'd be happy to come back in and do a follow up cleaning in their off hours if I had any issues. Tooth feels 1000x better now, literally saved my Thanksgiving! Went back in for follow up today and was a similar experience. I asked about fixing my crooked teeth down the line and he said I'd be a good candidate for Invisalign which he can do in house when my crown / cavity work is finished. In a week's time, I'm no longer afraid of the dentist. Highly recommend Newport Bay Dental for any people that are afraid of the dentist, regardless of teeth issues! read more

I am so glad I came to Dr. Boerner's office! I jacked confidence in be previous dentist and this office came highly recommended. The cleaning was so thorough, I felt I saw better results with they're regular cleaning than my previous dentist's deep cleaning. After such a good cleaning (by the kindest woman you'll ever meet) my crown even felt like it somehow for better and I was no longer apprehensive to chew my food in that side. And Dr. Boerner's himself... Let me tell you, he has the calmest demeanor. He really makes you comfortable and at ease. I only wish I would have found Dr. Boerner's office sooner! I'll be coming here forever. read more

I hadn't been to the dentist in far too long and I was worried about getting scolded about that from the hygienist and the dentist-quite honestly, I was a little embarrassed that I had waited so long-but that was absolutely not the case. The entire staff was absolutely so kind and so professional, I felt like I was getting the best dental care you could possibly get anywhere. It really felt so warm and so easy, and as painless of a process as one could only hope for. Dr. Boerner is obviously at the top of his field and treated me with the utmost of respect and suggested exactly what he should have, and I couldn't be any happier!! I highly recommend going to Newport Bay Dental. read more

Dr. Boerner is an expert in taking the nervousness out of going to the dentist. I have never felt more comfortable or at ease at any doctor's office. Very personable and explained everything he was doing. He even showed me the incredible machine that moulded and cut my onlay (tooth cap) right there in the office. Shows his knowledge of what current technology is out there and that he uses it. Dr. Boerner has a very gentle hand as well, I didn't even feel the shot he gave me. The whole experience set me at ease. I know where I will always go to for my teeth from now on and that security of knowing I'll be taken care of is a weight off my shoulders. read more

Newport Bay Dental - Sirona mill cutting my tooth in under 6 minutes! - Orthodontists Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

The staff at Newport Bay Dental are amazing. From the moment I walked into the office I felt right at home. After my old dentist retired 10 years ago, I have never been able to find a dentist that I liked. A good friend recommended Newport Bay Dental and I can say with confidence that Newport Bay Dental will be my new dentists! Dr. Boerner and the staff at Newport Bay Dental didn't try to sell me expensive treatments that I didn't need, or leave me sitting in a chair in agony for almost an hour, these are just a few of the terrible experiences I had at other dentists in OC. Dr. Boerner has definitely mastered the "chair-side manner" that many dentist, unfortunately, never figure out. He will make you feel at ease, calm your anxiety, and give you a very pleasant overall experience. I used to hate going to the dentist, but I actually look forward to going to Newport Bay Dental because I know I will have a positive experience and I'm sure you will too! read more

Wonderful dentist and staff, compassionate and caring. My child, who is normally fearful around strangers, had a great check-up. I was also treated with exceptional respect and kindness. Don't hesitate to make this your new spot. read more

I just had the best experience with Amber. I'm super picky about my dental cleanings, Amber was SO through and did an amazing job. I can't wait to go back! read more

The best dentist, dental hygienist and team! Very knowledgeable and efficient. I was able to get proper numbing, was in and out of the office with no pain afterwards - which has not been the case with other dentists. Could not recommend Newport Bay Dental enough!! read more

This is by far the best dentists I've ever been to the staff here is very caring and very passionate about patient care.the Dr. Is the best I have always had a fear of dentists but this Dr. Is great. I came in really nervous and now I am glad to say I am no longer worried about having to go to the dentist (as long as it is this dentists). I am very happy and satisfied with the service and care here. read more

I very like this place, they save my tooth. Cause it was close to the nerves, I was afraid that it necessary to do root channel, but they make very good filling, and my tooth still alive. read more

Dr. Boerner is amazing! I do not trust anyone else with my teeth. I have been going here for several years. I had a bad experience with a dentist and my mom suggested Dr. Boerner. This is the best dentist I have ever gone to, and I've been to A LOT of dentists. My previous dentist told me I needed a root canal and when I came to Dr. Boerner for a second opinion he told me I just had a cavity and did not need a root canal. I love how they have TV's at every station and how everything is very clean and sanitary. read more

I think the staff here is great and so is the doctor. He is very fair priced, won't do more than you need and has a gentle bedside manner. I'm a cash patient and was very pleased with his prices. Also, he replaced two fillings for me that were just poorly done (I'd had my old dentist do the original then replace it within a year and now another year later I figured I'd just pay someone who knows what the heck they're doing to do it) and he was very gentle, quick and cared about how much it hurt, etc. Highly recommend this office. read more

Very competent and compassionate staff. Dr. Boerner is a great dentist and his staff are amazing at what they do. They explain exactly what they're doing and show you your X-rays so you can see exactly what they see. There's no hysterical drama and guilting you in to making you feel like you must have something done. They give you your options and let you make the choice that's best for you. They're also very conscious of prices and insurance deductibles. I would recommend his office to anyone looking for a great, small dental office in Orange County. read more

I was searching for a new dentist after moving into the Newport Beach area. I found Newport Bay Dental and can't say enough good things about them. Dr. Boerner and his staff are absolutely fantastic. Everyone is very kind and knowledgeable. Ruthene the hygienist is the best I have ever experienced. She is so gentle and careful to explain everything. The office is very modern and all chairs have their own TV which is nice to watch during check ups and cleanings. Dr. Boerner is young which is nice because I want to trust my teeth to someone with training in the most modern technology. Doesn't hurt that he went to USC either. Overall, everyone is great and I have definitely found my new dentist. Look online for coupons. They offer some good deals on whitening. read more

Been coming here for years the Dr. And his staff are yruly the best. I feel respected and cared for buy everybody who works here. I always get the best care and as of today I will have a full set of teeth. read more

See all

I started coming here five years ago and I don't plan on changing my dentist anytime soon. Their staff is very friendly and professional. The lady that did my teeth cleaning is very friendly and nice. To top it off, Dr. Boehrner (hope I spelled the name correctly) is one of the best in the industry. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dental experience. read more

Was new to the area and a friend recommended NBD. Went for the first time and felt right at home, the staff is friendly and go out of their way to say hi. My teeth feel great and the best part is they don't try to up sell you! Would recommend to family and friends. read more

My son and I have been going to Newport Bay Dental for years! The staff is friendly and warm and always puts us at ease, regardless of the procedure. Let's face it, the sound of that drill can make almost anyone squirm! But, the calming demeanor of the staff and the peaceful atmosphere of the office immediately quell any negative feeling I may have when I check in. read more

Rick is the best. He Is very thorough and wants the best for all of his patients. His staff is very professional. I wish I would've started to go to Newport bay dental a lot of years ago but glad I am there now. read more

This was my second visit to Dr. Boerner's office and I just have to say that he is one of the nicest people I have had the pleasure to meet. This office rocks! If you have had any doubts about who to go see, I can't urge you enough to go see him. I would drive 2 hours to see him before I would consider anyone else. Dr. Boerner shows genuine care and concern for my situation and explained everything in a clear manner before he proceeded. I have had several encounters with medical professionals in my life and I tell you that they could all take lessons from Dr. Boerner on how to treat a patient. Thank you again Doc and your amazing staff for all you do! Scott Komie Lake Forest, Ca read more

I am so happy to have finally found a dentist and staff that I can visit on regular base. First time I came in Newport Bay Dental for a teeth cleaning because this place is the closest to my work. Of course I read very good Yelp reviews before to go but the reality was above of my expectations. Dr. Boerner is so friendly and comforting. He really sits with you and takes his time to listen to your concerns and makes you feel at ease. His staff is very nice, attentive, and helpful. On my second visit Dr. Boerner made a new crown for my tooth, that resolved my long time inflammation problem. Today I came from his office and I am so happy because Dr. Boerner just saved my tooth, that I was told, needs only extraction. He made a great job with cleaning root canal, he put a special paste for two week's treatment, and today he finished this job with permanent filling just perfect. He has magic hands, I even refused a numb. No pain, no more problem with this tooth moving. I believe, it will live longer than two years because I believe in a miracle. I highly recommend Newport Bay Dental!!! Olga read more

I highly recommend Newport Bay Dental. They are very professional and truly care for their patients oral health.

Went here a few weeks ago and got the best teeth cleaning of my life. Nice lady called Ruthine was very attentive and social, just a very thorough and about as enjoyable as you can make a teeth cleaning. Recommend. read more

My husbands family has been going to Ruthene their entire lives for cleaning and when I married into the family more than 20years ago, I switched to her as well. It seems only natural that one of her sons would become a dentist, and a great one at that! So dentist apts seem like small family reunions because we've known each other a very long time. The entire staff are amazing and I never have to wait and they do everything in their power to make me comfortable-Superior quality! I won't go anywhere else! read more

I only went there for an initial teeth cleaning, it was like $50 or something on a coupon. I ended up needed some serious work done, but in the meantime, they took care of some serious tartar buildup I had which took a while to remove. and didn't charge me extra for using a scalar. that was over a year ago, but I still think of newport bay from time to time. i don't live in the area, but if I did, this is definitely the dentist i'd see. read more

I've been a patient here for two years and I recommend this office to my friends, family and colleagues. The doctor and the office staff are always ready for appointments, I never have to wait for my appointment, I walk right in and they're ready. The office is friendly and professional. I trust Dr.Boerner and his staff with all my dental needs. read more

I have been going to Rick since he first opened. The staff is friendly and make you feel at home which for a dentist is huge. My entire family goes here. If you want to have the best dentist in Southern California work on your teeth, you would be a fool to see anyone else than Rick. read more

P.S. My insurance denied my claim because the office had my name spelled wrong. I miss how my perio office gets pre-authorization beforehand so as to avoid such mishaps! (I offered my information ahead of time, but they declined). -- Thanks, Yelp Community, for alerting me to Newport Bay Dental! Ruthene, the dental hygienist, was very caring and empathetic. I have issues with my gums, yet, she didn't make it a big deal. There was just one area that she probed and found a small pocket, which she said she would watch over time. I did have her numb my gums, though, which she did gladly. Dr. Boerner was also very pleasant. He didn't suggest any work at all. Like Ruthene, he told me to just keep doing what I'm doing in terms of brushing and flossing. I still have to keep up with my regular periodontal treatment, but for general dentistry, this place is great. read more

Incredible quality service by Arcy and the hygienist Ruthene.. the Dentist was the icing on the cake ! They pricing is very affordable and you get treated with care and respect ! They made me day and took care of all me needs and anxiety ! read more

This dentist saved me! I had previously been to another dentist who said I had 7 cavities, when Dr.Borner did my examination, he said I had none! He is an honest dentist! It is very hard to find, but trust me, this guy's got a good heart. He has a great staff, his mom is the dental hygenist. He told me a few stories after I told him about my last dishonest dentist, about other people coming in with similar cases. Dentists are often dishonest. It is good to get a second opinion in some cases, but you don't have to with this Dentist! He is a real nice, young dentist with great, modern equipment, and a clean office. I am so happy to have found him! read more

This dentist office is the best very professional the dentist and the ladies make you feel comfortable it was painless they do great work

The second I walked into this place I felt very welcomed. The woman at the front desk greeted me with a big smile and also offered to show me around. What I thought was super cool was the TV's with your own remote. I could even bring my nephew in there and he would be entertained for the whole time while Dr. Boerner is fiddiling with what teeth he has. I would highly recommend this place just on the atmosphere alone. read more

I actually found this dentist through the reviews on Yelp, and after my first appointment I felt the need to add my comments into the mix for future dentist hunters. This dental office is absolutely fantastic. Everything is clean and neat like you would expect and all of the equipment is modern and well kept. The receptionist had actually called ahead this morning to get my insurance information, and half of my paperwork was already filled out for me when I arrived for my appointment! My hygienist was awesome. She was super gentle with my teeth and gums and and made sure I was comfortable and understood everything she was doing. It was an added plus that she really took the time to learn a little bit about me as a person, not just as a patient. Dr. Boerner is incredible. He is very smart and obviously loves his chosen profession (I would expect no less from a fellow USC alum!). Best of all, he is honest. He did not make one single statement about the health of my teeth without showing me (via the nifty little camera attached to the computer at the end of the chair) exactly what he was seeing and what that meant. He even told me a story about being fired from one of his first jobs after school because he would not drill a tooth that didn't have a cavity! He is so personable, it almost felt like I had been seeing him for years rather than this being my first visit. I can honestly say that as long as I'm living within about 50 miles of Dr. Boerner's office, I will not be trusting anyone else with my teeth. I highly recommend Newport Bay Dental to anyone looking for a new dentist. read more

I came in needing a lot of dental work. I sat in his chair with tears because I was embarrassed at how bad my teeth are. Dr. Boerner calmed me down and told me it was not as bad as I thought and that with a few deep cleanings and some minor fillings I would be good to go. He made me feel so much better and took my anxiety away! I now don't fret about going to the dentist! You shouldnt either if you go to Dr. Boerner! read more
