    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.

I was anxious about the procedure since it's basically minor surgery with sutures, bone grafts and whatnot, but he and the rest of his team really put me at ease. He gave me plenty of numbing agent and I didn't really feel anything except my jaws were getting sore from keeping my mouth open lol. Overall I think it took less than 30 minutes for the first procedure. Dr Baek was really professional and kept asking if I was ok. The teeth cleaning was smooth and easy too. The dental hygienist was confident, informative and and also good at communicating. I was very pleased with her work and will schedule a follow up in 6 months. The best thing about the office was the dental assistants and hygienist did a very good job of sucking out excess saliva and liquids during each procedure. As long as I can remember, I always felt like I was choking on my spit at every dentist I've ever been to but this place does a good job of keeping me from gagging. Overall a really great and smooth procedure. The implant procedure will take about 3 months total. I will follow up with more feedback if anything changes. Otherwise I highly recommend this place!

    I normally don't write reviews, but after my recent experience at Perfect Smile Dental, I felt like…read moreI had to share. 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!

They are completely dishonest and will straight-up lie to their customers just to line their pockets. It doesn't matter if you have the best dental insurance in the world--expect them to quote you thousands of dollars out-of-pocket for work. They refused to help me with dental work that should have been covered under my insurance plan. Instead, they just tried to push expensive, unnecessary costs and 'premium' material. 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.

Got a call the morning of from the receptionist asking if I could come in earlier, 12:15, which I said yes to. I then received a call moments later saying that they had accidentally scheduled me during the doctors lunch and if I could come in at 2:45 which I said yes to because I really wanted to get my root canal out of the way. I arrived at 2:45 exactly and it is now 3:35 and I STILL have not moved from the waiting room. I went up to the girl in the front desk and she said the doctor just finished up with someone and they were cleaning the room which I appreciate them for doing and I have no problem waiting for that but I just do not think it's right to have to wait almost an hour when you have an appointment. Update: finished my appointment at 5:08 but gave them one more star because the staff is really great!!
