Love the care, Everyone is nice And i've received the best root canal and filling care read more

DO NOT TRUST THEM. Here is my experience. Last December, I went in because I have a loose/mobile tooth. They took an X-ray. The dentist told me that she saw a shadow in the root of that tooth. She said it was a cavity. She claimed that the only solution was to extract the tooth and do an implant. They just conveniently have an implant specialist in the same office that sees patients once a month. I said sure, I can talk to the specialist and see if it's even necessary to do implant at all. As I was trying to make an appointment with the specialist, I was told that I had to have an MRI for my teeth before I could even see the specialist. And they were really trying to sell the implant to me. At that point, I grew suspicious so I just left. Fast forward, I went to a different dentist with the X-ray that was taken previously. This new dentist said there's nothing wrong with my teeth in the X-ray. Out of precaution, he took a new X-ray for the mobile tooth. Again, nothing wrong. Yep, I was being defrauded. So, do not come here if you don't want to lose a completely perfect tooth and replace it with an implant that you never needed. read more

I have been going here for years and years. In fact, my whole family goes here. I believe it is the most competent and conservative dental practice in the whole of Orange County. I totally trust them. And it's beautiful, easy to get to, and comfortable, and with a stellar staff. And doctor Sharma was a complete professional and her chair side manner was top shelf. read more

I havent been to the dentist in years bu t the team there took great care of me. The dentist was very professional and listened well. The staff are friendly and helpful. The office manager remembered me from years ago. Very impressed. read more

I had an issue with crowding in my teeth, specifically my canine. I had gone to several dentist to see what could be done to fix them. Each time, different doctors recommended taking out 4 teeth and getting braces. From x-rays, they found I had very small roots and advised me to not proceed with any procedure because pressure (from braces) could potentially cause my teeth to fall out. Not to mention, if I had gotten the 4 teeth removed, I would have gaps in my teeth from stopping the treatment. I had gotten several consultations like this throughout the years and was about to give up. When I was around 28 years old, I decided to try out OC Dental Specialist and thought this would be my last try for another opinion. From very first appointment, all their staff have been so friendly and welcoming. Dr. Nina Sharma was extremely helpful and understanding of my unique situation. She recommended Invisalign to slowly move my teeth, paying special attention to my small roots. She worked out the best solution for me WITHOUT removing any teeth. After about 1.5 -2 years, my teeth look amazing and the crowding was fixed. This was the best decision now in my 30's and I am beyond thankful to all their team for helping me feel way more confident about my smile. I would 100% recommend this dentist to anyone. read more

I had a really good experience with Dr Sharma! Really gentle cleaning and explained my conditions so thoroughly. Office was so cute and friendly as well :) best dental office in Irvine!! read more

Such kind and patient people! I had a cracked tooth and multiple cavities. I booked a same day appointment yesterday morning, and they were able to get me in for a consultation. We booked the cleaning and filling for the next day (today). Dr. Nguyen and her Assistants were so patient and thorough with each process making sure both were done well. Everyone at OC Dental Specialists went above and beyond, I mean literally staying past closing, to ensure my filling and crown impression were done perfectly. I cannot say it enough, thank you so much for all the hard work, support, and help you gave me! This will be my new dentist office from now on. read more

Giselle is the BEST hygienist! I'm always afraid of the deep cleaning, but she is a magician! I never felt any pain or discomfort. The front office is SO nice and friendly! The people here treat you like a human and actually care! If you've been procrastinating going to the dentist - call Luxshmee and she will get you going again. ;) read more

OC Dental Specialists - What the hell is this! - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Irvine, California

Dr. Nina is wonderful! She is friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about her work. Both my son and I see her, and she has been amazing with him--he can be nervous about dental work, but she knows how to manage his anxiety and make him feel comfortable. She takes the time to explain everything and ensures every visit is a positive experience. The staff is also accommodating with appointments, making scheduling easy and stress-free. I highly recommend Dr. Nina and her team to anyone looking for excellent dental care! read more

I've been going to Dr Sharma for many years. She did a crown build up and other fillings that have lasted, she is a master at her craft. Lakshmi always greets you with a smile, and my cleaning was with Gisselle. She was wonderful and coached me on brushing so I don't irritate the two areas that have some bone loss. She was gentle yet thorough, great office! read more

Look, my family and I have been coming here since I was like, a wee lad. Everyone here's always been friendly and kind throughout the treatments, and they've been consistent in quality too. Would probably take my kids here if I had kids. read more

Be cautious--they're scammers! I visited for a consultation on a partial denture because my current dentist had a long wait. After waiting for an hour, they quoted me $1,900 and insisted on cash, claiming that many insurance plans don't cover it. Something felt off, especially since I have a dental PPO plan. Trusting my gut, I decided not to proceed and contacted my regular dentist, who quoted me $460 after insurance! read more

This dental office is AMAZING All working staff put Love inside of your teeth!! @ I had high quality cleaning, had whitening for teeth, and bonding for my 4 front teeth. IT ARE LOOK VERY BEAUTIFUL NATURAL WAY. I was crying - my front teeth look even better now! (Instead I had them even before I cracked them). THANK YOU FOR Dr. SHARMA, LAKSHMI, FATIMA, AND ALL TEAM WORKING IN THIS DENTAL OFFICE ​ read more

OC Dental Specialists - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Irvine, California

See all

I visited their office for an emergency extraction. It was prompt and the quality was good; no clinical issue and got good advises from the doctor. My issue with them is related to billing; they did not honor insurance negotiated rates for the emergency. They basically charged me as if I walk through that and have no insurance, which turned out to be much more. read more

I don't usually write Yelp reviews but I'm going out of my way to write this one. I got a cosmetic procedure done (teeth bonding) at this clinic 2 years ago by Dr Sharma. At the time, I went in asking for said procedure due to the chipped tooth..they said theyd want me to get a full mouth cleaning done before they did anything. I politely said no and they were willing to do the bonding anyway which was great. Twelve hours after the procedure I realized they hadn't smoothed out the back of my tooth.. I went in the next day to get it fixed..they fixed it. A year later the bonding literally just came off..the bonding I had gotten prior to that lasted 12 years. I then came back to the clinic a year later with the chipped tooth and they said they won't fix it unless I get other procedures done first (cleaning etc). I could tell they were in it for the quick cash grab. I said no..and referenced the last time I got the bonding done where they didn't require a full clean. Their logic was "This would go against everything they've been taught in dental school". I said okay.. what about last time then? Their answer to that was muddled and wishy washy. I told them I'll just go to a different clinic. As I left the waiting room, they said they'd be willing to do it without the cleaning..but at this point I realized this clinic is just in it for the money. I literally walked out of there and called a neighboring dental clinic.. went in.. and within 20 minutes I was out of that clinic with a new bonding that required no touch-ups. Stay away from this clinic if you don't want a dentists who is just in it for the money and some extra billing. read more

Billing fraud, don't come here. You don't have to pay everything up front when you have insurance. They have so much open space in their calendar because they have no repeat customers. They also call you relentlessly even after requesting to be put on a do not call list. Reporting their business for harassment at this point. read more

Office bribes $20 gift cards for 5 star yelp reviews. These reviews were all bought. Updating my review: I paid off everything, received in writing a $0 balance on my ledger and EOB. Keep getting harassing calls every few months "Oops, we forgot to charge for this." I am cooperative so I pay the $200 extra or so. 6 months later they "forgot" some other charges, so I pay again, hoping to be done with them for good. If I owe money, I'll pay it. I haven't seen her in over 2 years but her office is asking for extra $600! At this point, no longer blindly paying, I send over their bill to my dental insurance to check their numbers, dental insurance showed where they double and tripled billed me. Don't be TOO NICE and just pay small amounts again and again like I did. Send their bill to your professional dental insurance to verify their numbers. It is your insurance's responsibility to verify on your behalf. ASK FOR A RECEIPT AS WELL AS A LEDGER/EOB for everytime you pay! That is evidence. If they quote you one thing, that should be final. read more

I recently had a dental emergency and called multiple dental offices for a same day appointment but I didn't have any luck until I contacted OC Dental Specialists. They were able to see me that day within the hour! Dr. Sharma and her team took very good care of me and I felt very much at ease there. We all know how much we dread visiting the dentist, but everyone made me feel welcomed and calm even though I was there for a dental emergency. I ended up deciding to switch my dental care over to OC Dental Specialists after this visit and will be returning for my bi-annual cleaning soon! read more

Always a pleasant experience coming to OC dental specialist. All staff are wonderful!! The front lady (Lex sorry if I misspelled your name let me know haha) is the sweetest and funniest. Jessica is awesome and Dr. Raya (I think is her name) is awesome, too. Thanks everyone for making my dentist experience comfortable, pleasant and getting me in and out right on time!!! That's always a really good thing: ) until next time!!! read more

I've lived in Irvine for a year now, and recently found myself in need of some dental care. My colleague recommended OC Dental Specialists, and particularly Dr. Sharma for their patience with wimps like me and their general manner. Scheduling an appointment was easy; I called on Saturday and was in on Monday morning. The office is cozy and pleasant, and the staff is warm and welcoming. Amariya (I'm so sorry if I flubbed your name) helped keep me calm and lighthearted during the x-rays, and we got through it as a team. Meeting Dr. Sharma really put my mind at ease. She's a calm, confident professional who speaks of dental care as a combination of hygiene and preventative maintenance. Laurie (sp sorry) helped talk me through the first steps of my care plan, and despite a little hiccup in communication, I was done in an hour. I appreciate the kindness and the professionalism of Dr. Sharma and her staff, and while I'm nervous to get my teeth cleaned and get my wisdom teeth removed, I'm confident that I've discovered a team who can help make my dental work as pain-free and as anxiety-free as possible. Update! Two root canals later, and Dr. Sharma and team are now calling me brave (take that, Mom and Dad). 95% of the process was pain-free, and aside from a few aches here and there, I feel like I have a new quadrant of teeth. I'll update more as the rest of the crowns come in, but I'm still thrilled with the office and her wonderful staff. Special thanks to Tiffany and Diana who hold my hand through lidocaine. read more

OC Dental Specialists - In the chair, busted molars and all - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Irvine, California

Everyone hates the dentist!!! I get it, but after putting it off so long, I finally ended up with a toothache! I reluctantly called, and on a Friday afternoon, after calling so many other offices to get in ASAP, they happily said come on over! It literally was just like that. So, A+ to my initial phone conversation, she put me at ease right away, saying I called the right place and just asked how long it would take me to get there so they could prepare for my arrival. I was like "what?" Yeah, so before hanging up she informed me that they charge a flat fee of $150 to include any necessary xrays or other diagnostics and included the exam and would let me know what the problem is, how to fix and how much. I have insurance and since this was emergency, she said the cost is still the same but that they will bill insurance and I would get reimbursed ruses if covered. CANT BEAT THAT! I was happy to just be able to be seen. After filling out paperwork, and btw the office is gorgeous and very inviting, I was told they have a full schedule but will work me in, I only waited 20 minutes, they took the X-ray, Dr Nina came right in and explained I have deep decay and need a root canal. But she also thoroughly explained why and then really actually took the time to get o know me! I was shocked, she is sooooo nice and calm and funny and I feel like she's my new best friend! I was so relieved. Next they drew up the costs, got my prescriptions and availability with the specialists, which FYI they have all specialities there in ONE office so no referrals. They explained everything very clear and took the time to stop and ask for any questions. All specialty procedures are paid up front and later I am reimbursed by insurance which I don't mind at all I need bonus fly points! They also offered no interest payment plans they a few different companies but I didn't need it but good they offered. I use the online dental price shopper and their prices are super reasonable! Can I just say, they are so thorough and the focus is on me! So a big SUPER PLUS for me since I don't want any surprises. Highly recommend Dr. Nina and her staff. read more

I had an amazing experience in the office with Dr Sharma and the staff. I highly recommend them especially for cosmetics. My veneers came out better than I even expected. The work quality is phenomenal! read more

Nice clean place. Makes you feel like your at home. Wonderful and friendly staff. Tiffanie's the best dental hygienist. Highly recommended!

Here I am 8 months pregnant and put off a root canal for way to long landing me in the dentist office with a bad infection weeks away from giving birth. I am absolutely terrified of the dentist due to childhood trauma, i randomly found OC Dental Specialists one day prior as my tooth was throbbing. Going into that office today I was so scared not only that VERY pregnant. My experience was absolutely incredible. The staff and their professionalism was impeccable. They were all so very nice to me, made me feel so comfortable (I never knew I could feel comfortable at a dentist office) to the point I hugged them all after my procedure as I teared up because my experience was so wonderful. THANK YOU ALL SO SO MUCH! I highly recommend!!! read more

OC Dental Specialists - My procedure - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Irvine, California

First, I liked this place because everyone seems nice.. But from the first visit till the last, they made change my mind completely since they kept on sending me a mail tried to charge me extra that I didn't even have done. Then, it's very shady that they get rid of it after I called and complaint them. But then they did it AGAIN after my second visit!!!!!! Seems like they try to target and rip off from some people who doesn't really know what do they did at the office or don't know anything about the insurance or to some people might don't think its not right. How shady they are!! I always clear with the cost that how much my procedure will charges before I do anything. But still they are sending extra few hundred dollars after I came back home. I'm so tired of dealing with the shadiness and complaints!! I found other reviews have same issues!! read more

If you would like a dentist that provides quality care, is knowledgable and an office that doesn't pressure you to get some work done just to bill for a procedure you probably didn't need, then I highly recommend this dental office. The quality of care starts at the front desk with a receptionist who is well versed in dental services. The dentist leads with education and chooses to be a partner in your care. I went to two different dental offices prior to this one and I will definitely be returning here. They took great care of both me and my husband. When our son is a little order we will definitely be bringing him here for his first check up. I usually hate the dentist, because when you come having done some research online, they usually disregard anything and focus on what they what to treat/bill. Dr. Nina took the time to not only listen but validate what I had read and utilized that time to further discuss what might be the issue based on that. I finally found an Oral Surgeon that directed me to a TMJ specialist and this would not have been possible, had Dr. Sharma not followed up with directly to refer me to this oral surgeon. If you want a great dentist that will provide quality care then come here! She is a 5 star dentist! Also the office is super clean! So just stop reading and call to schedule your appointment. You won't regret it. read more

Dr. Sharma has been taking care of me for the last 4-5 years and I always get compliments on my teeth! Right now during the pandemic everyone wears N95 masks with another surgical mask over it so I feel very safe. read more

STAY AWAY! Dr. Nina Sharma is a fraudulent dentist who is committing billing fraud. If you have used her in the past please check your payments and insurance co pay as she makes all her patients (even within network) pay upfront (in our case the fees charged did not match the insurance co pays EVERY SINGLE TIME!) read more

I had a consultation with Dr. Nina today for my TMJ. She was one of the kindest people I have ever met. She was calm, knowledgeable, personable and detailed. She spent an hour with me going over every one of my concerns and make sure I know all my options before leaving her office. I'm not one to leave reviews at all but I wanted to thank Dr. Nina for the best experience! I will definitely be back read more

This is the first dentist I went to after I relocated to Irvine. I am so regretful that I didn't check yelp review becauseI I just wanted a regular cleaning and I thought it was too simple and basic that any dentist can do it. 1. I was dizzy , shivering and had rapid heartbeat after I got local anesthesia. I went to dentist every 6 month for the last 15+ years and I have also received orthodontics treatment before. This is the first time I got strong side effect for dental local anesthesia. 2. When I was in the dental waiting room, the small room was crowded with 7-8 patients and some was coughing without a mask. read more

I've been going to OC Dental Specialists for about the last two years. Between Dr. Sharma and all of the dental hygienists, they have completely fixed me up. I came in with some gum recession, cavities, and poor cleaning habits (that was unfortunately from me, not focusing on my dental health). After consistent cleanings and appointments, the team here has helped me to turn the situation around. Beyond being technical experts, I just have to say that I have NEVER looked forward to going to the dentist. It's like walking into someone's house with a warm hello. Dr. Sharma is such a kind and genuine person, and so is her staff. Could not have chosen a better facility to go to!! read more

I found OC DENTAL SPECIALISTS through the Yelp reviews given for Dr. Sharma I needed to find a new dentistry since moving back to Orange County. I'm also getting married in a year and want to fix up my smile before the wedding. Based on the reviews, website browsing and a few google searches, I decided to make an appointment. I do have severe dental anxiety, especially with the needles, so it's important for me to pick the right place to feel safe, and like they're not trying to up-sell me on surgeries, procedures, etc that aren't actually necessary. From the moment I spoke with Tiffany on the phone, I knew I was in great hands. All of the staff here is friendly, attentive and treat you with care. After looking at my x-rays and chatting a bit with me about what my goals are before the wedding, Dr. Sharma and team got right to work with a plan on making my mouth healthy first and foremost. Yesterday I went in for the first of two scaling appointments. Dr. Sharma has a gentle hand and an incredible bedside manner. I'm a true mess when those needles come around, and she made me feel at ease. They gave me a stress ball (shaped as a tooth) for me to use and have my hands distracted. I'm very happy I found Dr. Sharma's office. She's thorough, kind, been doing this for 20 years and I believe will have the best plan for me. Her staff truly do treat you as family. I will update of course as we continue on with fixing up my smile. But if you're reading these comments considering making an appointment or switching up your dentist, do it. You won't regret it. read more

My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Sharma for several years. I never had any issues or problems with their services or customer service. They are very accommodative in scheduling cleanings and surgical procedures. They provide me with estimates for any treatments/fillings, etc. With Dr. Sharma's education, knowledge, and experience, we won't go anywhere else. My teeth are very sensitive so the hygienist needs to clean them by hand scrapping them without the cavitron. No problems every time! Thank you. Btw... Tiffany is so patient, understanding, and cognizant of my sensitivities. She is an excellent fit for this office as she knowledgeable, very personable, and friendly. It was great to catch up with you and your family Dr. Sharma. See you again soon! Thank you. D.S. read more
