    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.

    After a devastating veneer experience with a well-known Newport Beach dentist, I was left with…read moredamaged teeth and no clear solution. I consulted six different dentists before finally finding this doctor--and he truly rescued me. He is meticulous, sincere, and extremely attentive to detail. He took the time to correct what was done wrong and made sure everything looked natural and balanced. His office is modern, open, and calming, with state-of-the-art technology. What impressed me most was his genuine care--he even called me personally to see how I was doing. That level of professionalism is rare. The results are beautiful. He is not inexpensive, but the quality, ethics, and outcome are absolutely worth it. I'm very happy and look forward to fixing the rest of my teeth with confidence.

What he created feels like a masterpiece, and I honestly can't tell where my natural teeth end and the crowns begin. The match is flawless in every lighting condition--bright light, shadows, contrast, everything. It's pretty remarkable. Over the past few years, my front teeth had eroded significantly due to poor dental work from another dentist, and it really affected my confidence. After extensive research, I chose Dr. Heldt because of excellent reviews, and he far exceeded every expectation I had. My confidence is not only back--it's better than ever. What really sets Dr. Heldt apart is how meticulous and thoughtful he is. He took the time to listen to every concern and idea I had, incorporated my input, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. He even sat down, took detailed photos, and walked me through everything--something I've never experienced before, but now fully understand why he does it. The attention to detail is next level, and it's absolutely worth it. If I could give more than five stars, I would. Dr. Heldt truly knows what he's doing, and he has completely earned my trust. He is officially my dentist from now on, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional, high-quality dental work.

Dr. Ayzin is a certified G and he provides a knowledgeable and comfortable experience from the moment you check in with the ladies up front to when you leave his office. I would say the best part about coming here is that, regardless of the issues you may be experiencing, Dr. Ayzin has the attitude that there is a solution for everything. I came here with some wild requests regarding putting gold in my mouth and redoing my entire bite and it was a non-issue for Dr. Ayzin. All of the employees here are very light and fun and the place has solid vibes all around. Whoever gives this place 4 stars or below needs to go find an ophthalmologist that is as skilled in his/ her art as Dr. Ayzin is in his because Laguna Dental Center is a 5 out of 5 establishment.

About 1.5 years ago, I embarked on a side quest for a straighter smile. What began with wisdom teeth removal evolved into a treatment plan that improved my breathing, made flossing easier, and enhanced my overall oral health. Every appointment felt less like a dental visit and more like stopping by to see a team of people who genuinely care about their patients. They are incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but what stood out most was how kind, welcoming, and genuine they were throughout the entire process. Questions were always welcomed, progress was clearly explained, and I always felt informed and supported every step of the way. Today, I've graduated to maintenance mode (YAY LET'S F GOOOO!!!), and it's amazing to see how far things have come. My teeth are straighter, easier to care for, and my overall oral health is better because of it. To anyone considering treatment, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Ayzin and his team. Whether you're starting with wisdom teeth removal, orthodontic treatment, or simply looking for a dental office that truly cares, you'll be in excellent hands. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Ayzin and the entire team for making this part of my life such a positive experience!!!!! YIPEEEE!!!!!!

    DO NOT TRUST THEM. Here is my experience. Last December, I went in because I have a loose/mobile…read moretooth. 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.

His…read moreprevious location was more centrally located in Irvine where he built a very large and positive reputation from the 90's and 2000's. I had no way to afford dental care for many years and Dr. Yeh maintained me in better shape than I deserved through the 2010's. Since I had no insurance, all my work from Dr. Yeh was charged for and paid for directly. He took the best I could do during those years, often times giving me very reasonable out of pocket rates that kept me going to the dentist when I otherwise could not afford to. The only reason I am not giving full marks is because some of the other reviews commenting on the lack of support in his office and some aging equipment are true. That will matter to a stranger looking at dentists on Yelp. However, to me, Dr. Yeh is a kind person who helped me when I needed it the most and I don't think the Yelp rating on his practice is a fair reflection on it overall.

    I have been going to see Dr Yeh for 30 years and my entire family is now seen by him…read more I highly recommend him to my friends and family because he is really the only dentist I know that does not do unnecessary procedures and he never views his patients mouths as goldmines to be exploited. Dr Yeh is extremely precise when he is grinding on a tooth and he never will over drill or carelessly hit a nerve. His philosophy is always to do everything he possibly can to save the tooth. One of my children was seeing another dentist for a extended period of time. I was out of state and had no other alternative. This dentist drilled out almost every baby tooth in his head for the smallest cavity resulting in a mouth full of decaying baby teeth and fillings. Dr yeh was able to fix everything that was wrong and now Marc does not have one amalgam filling in his head, (such a relief). Growing up with Dr Yeh as my dentist I never had one filling. I am convinced that other dentists see the slightest thing on a x-ray image and see it as a opportunity to cash in on insurance money. worse than a mechanic because insurance company's have deep pockets but you only get one set of teeth. Dr Yeh is a skilled and caring dentist, as far as I am concerned he is the best out there... I would not drive 2.5 hours each way if he wasn't.
