    Gaetano S.

    Today is my wife's 2nd dental care day. We didn't do the regular cleaning during the pandemic. We were so concerned about the Covid. That is why she needed to do the deep cleaning for 2 weeks in a row. First, I had one zirconia crown about 3 years ago and I really liked Dr. Samuel Au for our family dentist for years. He is so gentle and perfect, always makes people comfortable and reliable. His staffs are so friendly and attentive. Especially Cindy at the front desk is wonderful. She always understands the emergency and arranges the urgent care for the patients. The doctor has lots of skills for the crown and the cleaning too. The price is good and you feel so relaxed during the procedure. So gentle!!!! He got orange county Best Dentist Awards in 2016, 2019, and 2022. Brovo!!! My wife and I are so happy to have a great dentist in our home area. Remember their business hour! Closed on Wed but opens until 2 on Sat. Thanks Dr. AU and all the staffs. Especially Cindy is awesome.

    Came in today for my 3rd and 4th quadrant deep cleaning and also did the laser treatment. Shout-out…read moreto my hygienist, Tien -- he was seriously awesome. Super friendly, patient, and clearly passionate about what he does. He took the time to explain the entire procedure step-by-step, made sure I was comfortable the whole time, and went above and beyond with the cleaning. Very thorough and professional. He also clearly explained after-care instructions (like use salt water to rinse for the first 2 days, no mouthwash unless it's the kind of mouthwash specific for preventing cavities etc.), which I really appreciated. If you're nervous about deep cleaning or just want someone who genuinely cares, ask for Tien. Highly recommend!

    PSA for Dr. Sean's Patients - New Ownership & Aggressive…read more I'm writing this as a PSA for anyone who previously saw Dr. Sean. The office has been completely turned over--new staff, new doctor, and a completely different (and disappointing) approach to patient care. I arrived for my biannual cleaning only to find out the office had changed hands with zero notice. If you get a text asking to fill out "New Patient Information," be warned: they are treating everyone as a brand-new patient to justify unnecessary procedures. The Red Flags: Redundant X-rays: Even though I had X-rays done just last year, they insisted on taking them again immediately. Unprofessional Environment: The new doctor didn't introduce himself and was wearing a gray sweatshirt instead of scrubs or professional clinical attire. It felt very casual and unorganized. Aggressive Sales Pitch: Instead of focusing on my cleaning, I was bombarded with "treatment plans" and pressured into a consult with their in-house endodontist. It felt more like a sales pitch than a check-up. Rough Procedure: The cleaning itself was a nightmare. The doctor was not gentle--I experienced multiple painful numbing injections for a routine cleaning and significant bleeding. The suction was poorly managed, and the whole experience was worlds away from the care Dr. Sean used to provide. I felt completely blindsided. If you valued the gentle, professional care of the previous practice, you might want to look elsewhere. I will be canceling my follow-up and finding a new dentist who prioritizes patient comfort over upselling.

They were following up with me after receiving notification from the endodontist we had been referred to that her treatment was complete and she would need to get a dental crown. While on the phone, I asked her about their office policy, which the endodontist told me had prevented them from getting my mother's x-rays from Dr. Baek, which resulted in additional costs. At the time, I hadn't contacted Dr. Baek's office about it, but thought it really strange that they would not share the X-rays with a provider to whom they had referred us. When I brought it up during the call, the front office woman became really irate, stating that it was not her job to contact us to let us know that they would only release X-rays to the patient and that if we had called to request it, they would have released it to us. She said it was part of the HIPAA release forms that we had signed when we first registered with the office, which is not the point of why I brought this up. I was trying to convey that I would have appreciated it as part of their customer service to try and help out the patient as much as possible, rather than having them accrue unnecessary costs like this. Her absolute disdain at the thought of having to provide any "customer service," which apparently is NOT her job at all, was really the last straw. While switching between Korean and English, she also started using really disrespectful phrases, calling me "you" in the familiar form in Korean. I'm sure Dr. Baek is a fine dentist but there are similarly skilled dentists in the area, with far better staff who I can work with for my mother's dental needs.

I know how hard it can be to find a dentist you can truly trust, and I hope this review helps others who might be going through the same search. I had two dental issues that needed attention: a broken crown on my lower left molar and a loose implant on my lower right molar. I had been concerned about finding the right dentist for these treatments and wasn't sure where to go. Luckily, I was introduced to Perfect Smile Dental through my boss, and I'm so grateful for the recommendation. Dr. Jenny Kim took care of my treatment, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. On my first visit, I went in for an exam, and since they had time available that day, Dr. Kim was able to take care of the issue with my right molar implant right away. It was done quickly and smoothly, and amazingly, I didn't even need anesthesia. For the broken crown on my lower left molar, I needed to redo the crown, which required two visits. Both appointments went very smoothly as well. In total, I visited the office three times, and every single visit was efficient, comfortable, and well organized. What impressed me the most was how gentle and skilled Dr. Kim is. I didn't experience any pain during the procedures, and everything was done carefully and professionally. The treatments were completed perfectly and in a surprisingly short amount of time, which made the whole experience even better. I've already scheduled my scaling appointment for next week, and I plan to continue visiting every six months for regular check-ups and maintenance. Finding a truly good dentist isn't easy, so I wanted to share my experience in case it helps someone else who might be searching like I was. I highly recommend Dr. Jenny Kim and Perfect Smile Dental. Thank you to Dr. Kim and the entire team for taking such great care of me!

To make matters worse, while the actual dental work they did perform was decent, the attention to detail and customer care is nonexistent. The crown they put on one of my teeth that I paid a lot of money for, was completely round. It looks absolutely nothing like it did before, and it's not how a natural tooth should look. I am completely unhappy with how shady and dishonest this entire experience was. If you value your teeth and your wallet, stay far away from this place.

When we sat down to go over pricing, the estimate seemed unusually high. I decided to call my dental insurance directly to verify the procedure codes and coverage. I'm glad I did, because I was told that a $70 specialist visit fee they were charging is actually covered under my plan, and one of the procedure codes they quoted at $800 should have been billed closer to $115 under my insurance. When I brought this up to the office, they adjusted the charges--but then added another procedure code for $350. That raised even more concerns about how the billing was being handled. Because my husband was in pain, we felt stuck going through with the procedure, but this experience left us very uncomfortable. I strongly recommend that anyone coming here double-check their insurance coverage and ask for a detailed breakdown of all procedure codes before agreeing to treatment. We will not be returning and plan to file a complaint.
