Couldn't be happier with my smile !!! Highly recommend Dr. Rice ! If you're looking for the best dentist in OC you've found it !

Listening to music  provided by the Rice dentistry team and viewing my x-rays on the screen.

Let's start by saying may god bless the Rice Dentistry Team! My wife had the pleasure to be treated by Dr. Rice and after it changed my complete perspective on how I see dentists and their practice. I found my dentist for LIFE. I greatly appreciate the professionalism and heartfelt care that Rice dentistry has for their clients. I can't wait to go back and that saying a lot because I don't think anyone is looking forward to seeing the dentist

Broken tooth

I broke my tooth recently and was scared as I did not know how it was going to get fixed. We scheduled an appointment and had it fixed in under an hour with a painless procedure. The dentist gave us advice on further treatments and how to care for the tooth. We also came back and got the tooth polished again for free. Best dentist practice out there. Very much recommend! Also amazing pricing.

Each staff member is professional and an expert in their field. Greeted by Claudia who assists with booking appointments and fielding questions, billing and insurance processing by Susan who goes above and beyond to ensure your insurance benefits are utilized, and Joan who assists as needed with administrative functions. I truly can't say enough about Dr. Mata and his surgical assistant Ilianna as they are experts, the BEST! Dr. Mata makes you feel safe and cared for by explaining the procedure from start to finish and provides the time and patience to answer your questions or concerns. Likewise, Ilianna is extremely in tune with Dr. and she provides the same warmth, care and expertise, and addresses your concerns and questions as well. ! was always afraid to see a dentist or Periodontist, but Dr. Mata and Ilianna have made each visit stress free, pain free and honestly have found myself telling them that my visit "was a pleasure" and that includes gum surgeries and now an implant.

She was curious to know what contributed to my negative experience and I explained that I had terrible pain for 2 months after my first procedure due to the previous doctor taking the graft tissue from the roof of my mouth. I was surprised to hear that she offered an option to take the tissue from the back of my mouth which would be less painful and result in a faster healing time. This made the healing process so much easier and I felt as though I had more control over my daily activities (eating, drinking, talking) as a result. The procedure itself was quick and painless. She made sure to explain what she was doing in order to keep me calm and gave all the after care instructions to my partner including her phone number for any concerns. I reached out to her 6 or 7 times with pictures of my graft to make sure that it was healing properly and asked detailed questions about what I could eat or drink. Being that I had such a negative experience with a different doctor, including his bedside manner, I expected there to be annoyance about my inquiries but instead I was met with speedy, knowledgable and empathetic responses. She went out of her way to explain the healing process step by step and gave me reassurance throughout the next 3 weeks. I am so thankful for the support she's provided and would definitely recommend working with her for any of your needs!

I needed to have both of my lower wisdom teeth removed, and since I had never had any kind of tooth…read moreextraction or surgery before, I was extremely nervous. From the moment I walked into Honest Oral Surgeon, the staff made me feel at ease. They were professional, friendly, and very patient. After taking my X-rays, they carefully explained everything to me and answered all my questions. I also watched a pre-procedure instruction video, which helped me understand what to expect. When I met Dr. Kim, he was professional, clear, and straightforward. He explained my treatment options concisely and also pointed out potential risks related to my other teeth. After discussing everything together, we decided to take a conservative approach -- remove the wisdom teeth first and monitor the other teeth to see if they could recover over time. I really appreciated being involved in the decision-making process. The surgery itself was excellent. It was my first time receiving anesthesia and having teeth extracted, and I can honestly say I felt absolutely no discomfort. Dr. Kim removed both wisdom teeth efficiently and skillfully. (Yes, I could hear the drill and some hammering sounds -- which was a little funny -- but I felt zero pain.) After the procedure, I followed the instructions carefully, took the prescribed medication, and applied ice as recommended. It's now the second day, and I have no pain at all -- not even noticeable swelling. This is actually the longest Yelp review I've ever written, but I truly felt it was deserved. I highly recommend Honest Oral Surgeon and Dr. Kim to anyone who needs oral surgery.

He was professional, honest, respectful, and took the time to listen to our concerns. The surgical procedure went great and he even reached out personally to make sure there were no post surgical issues. I really, really appreciated that. In a world where most doctors don't care and leave this on their nurses and staff, his following up personally meant he really cared. I highly recommend this practice.

Walking into a new dental office can make anyone a little nervous -- but I'll admit something most…read morepeople don't say: I actually love going to the dentist. What I discovered here, though, is that this office is far more than just a place for cleanings. It's a place dedicated to protecting and restoring your smile for the long run. From the very first phone call, I knew I had found something special. Scheduling my appointment -- which I believe is one of the most important first impressions a practice can make -- was effortless. I was greeted with kindness, professionalism, and even offered a same-day appointment. When I arrived, that same warmth continued. The team welcomed me with genuine enthusiasm, and the entire office had the feeling of a place where people truly enjoy caring for their patients. Meeting Dr. Hassan was both enlightening and reassuring. I went in believing I had been doing everything right for my teeth and gums. Instead, I learned that some of my habits -- while well-intentioned -- were actually causing damage over time. What stood out most was how Dr. Hassan approached the conversation. There was no judgment, no criticism -- just honesty, education, and a clear plan to help restore and protect my smile moving forward. I'm fortunate to already have a smile I'm proud of, but now I have the confidence of knowing it will be even healthier for years to come. If you're looking for a dental office that combines professionalism, kindness, and genuine care for their patients, I cannot recommend this team enough. I'm truly looking forward to the journey ahead with them. P.S. Small but memorable detail: the bathroom sink handle goes up and down -- helpful to know if you're standing there trying to figure it out like I was.

He should be annoyed because I am truly a big baby, but he is still so nice and patient. The front desk staff is friendly and welcoming as well. I also appreciate that he calls later in the evening to check on his patients. That speaks volumes of how much he cares for his patients. Highly recommend!!!
