This update is way over due. I'm finally done with the Invisalign, and had some much needed bonding work done to my teeth to give them more ' finished look'. I had one tooth that was misaligned, and the same tooth was very short causing it to look even worse. Now that my teeth are straight, Dr. Stein elongated the short tooth and fixed another front tooth which had a small chip. I thought I would be in her chair for at least an hour for this procedure. She was so fast, I was done literally in 20 min or so. You can tell when someone knows what he/she is doing. Dr. Stein clearly knows what she is doing. She made what seemed like a difficult cosmetic work look so easy. Now it was my turn to inspect the results. I almost couldn't believe how natural my new teeth looked. She created completely new shape to the short tooth and the other chipped tooth was also meticulously fixed. She matched the color exactly, and even with close inspection, I could not tell where the synthetic bonding material was. I've attached a pic of my teeth. Take a good look, and see if you can tell which two teeth were the ones she fixed. I had always wanted to fix my teeth but never felt comfortable with my past dentists so I never did anything about it. I had a good feeling that Dr. Stein was the one, and I'm so glad I went through with it. It was a long journey but I would do this all over again. If you are looking for a new dentist to go to or a talented cosmetic dentist who is going to help you obtain the most natural looking teeth you have always wanted, go see Dr. Stein. You will be glad you did! read more

I had my teeth done by Dr. Stein more than 15 years ago and she did an awesome job.. She gave me the best smile ever!!! I had low self-esteem due to my front teeth being all crooked . Going to her was the best decision I've even made.. I am looking into going back to have work done again.. She worked on my parents teeth and other family members and all have been satisfied with her a wesome work!!!! I am actually thinking of going back to her sometime soon to get more work done.. read more

Highly recommend Dr Stein for competency. She restored my wisdom tooth that would have been diagnosed as an extraction simply because most dentist don't know or or don't want to work on wisdom teeth. She thinks out of the box, a rare trait in dentistry, and is not intimidated by challenges. I am also thrilled that she is trained in restoring teeth with gold foil. read more

I've been going to the same dentist since I was little. However, I moved to this area last year and needed to find a new dentist! I did extensive research and tried a local dentist only to have an awful (& expensive) experience. This made me wary of finding yet another dentist... But after discovering I had my first cavity, I was referred to Dr. Stein. WHAT a lovely experience I had! The staff was kind and fun. I immediately felt at home. She was with me nearly the whole 90min I was there, explaining what she was going to do, and even educating me on the process! It was fascinating and painless. Thank you, Dr. Stein & staff (specifically Whitney and Kimberly!), for putting me at ease and teaching me new things about my teeth. I look forward to the next appointment! read more

Dr. Stein's practice is in a convenient location for those in the Dana Point and Laguna Beach areas. The office offers a panoramic ocean view to enjoy while your dental work is done. More importantly, the staff is highly professional and super friendly, ensuring that the overall experience is simultaneously efficient and accommodating. I have gone to Dr. Stein for more than a year now, and I have never had a single unpleasant experience. I would highly recommend this dental practice to anyone looking for an excellent dentist. read more

If there were 10 stars I would give them... I can't say enough good things about Dr. Viviane Stein and her staff!!! They are just amazing...so helpful kind, professional and even have a great sense of humor! What a Fabulous combination!!! Viviane is so gentle and has the hands of a microsurgeon.

I was walked through the options, suggestions, recommendations in detail. Dr. Stein's knowledge and experience solidified the decision to make her my dentist. She created a comfortable environment. The support staff was equally professional, accommodating, and caring. A wonderful dental practice that I wouldn't hesitate to refer anyone to. read more

I couldn't ask for a better dental office or staff. I love catching up with Alex when I arrive. She is always warm and welcoming. Lindsay is the best dental hygienist I have ever been to. She is so friendly and very gentle while cleaning. Dr. Stein is also very personable and enjoyable. And to top it off, you get a lovely beach view from your chair. I highly recommend this dentist! read more

I have been going to Dr. Stein for at least 5 years and I don't even live in Laguna Beach, I drive up from San Diego. She is an amazing, thoughtful, kind and funny doctor. I HIGHLY recommend going to her! I totally disagree with the previous post, we have NEVER had a problem with root canals and have certainly never paid more than a few hundred dollars for them. Our PPO has always covered a percentage. Possible it's the insurance that she should have a beef with instead of the doctor? I personally wouldn't go to anyone else! read more

I'm 41 and yes. Still afraid of the dentist. Two wisdom teeth still in my head and finally committed to taking them out. Stein is an amazing dentist. Very little trauma, no pain from any needle, and guess what, that was Friday and today is Sunday. It doesn't even hurt and no swelling. If you can believe it I'm actually looking forward to the other one coming out. Not to mention removing the two silver fillings for porcelain. Very impressive Dr Stein and my daughter loves you too!!!!! Thanks for removing my fears of the dentist. Oh and the Review from Melanie regarding the 10,000 bill and then saving 9,000. Seriously........ I was at Dr Murray a year ago who told me I had 6 cavities. Dr Stein said I had zero. No question of ethics here. She's as honest as they come...... Melanie, you need to re do your math because you sound ridiculous. read more

Excellent location with private parking lot. The office is very modern with the highest technology. Dr. Stein is very knowledgeable and has a great personality which made my dental visit very pleasant. I will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for great dentist with reasonable prices. read more

My single greatest experience i have ever had at a dental office. Beyond friendly, amazing dental work. beautiful offices, quick and easy exam, and i walked out feeling better about my teeth than i have EVERY felt. recommending to everyone i know. read more

I had a terrible experience at this office. They actually wanted me to spend about $10,000 on my teeth with three route canals and crowns and deep cleanings. It was joke. I went with my instincts and got a second opinion and ended up with two route canals and a filling and a regular cleaning from a great hygienist. Saved me about $9,000! I have a dental PPO plan so I could not figure out how that kept saying that all of these necessities were NOT covered! BEWARE! read more

After being traumatized for the first 25 years of my life I was referred to Dr. Stein. I have now been a patient for about 6 years. I adore her and her staff. I still have anxieties leading up to my exams but have been very fortunate that she is patient and kind with me. All repairs and suggestions are seemingly handled with my fears in mind. Its like she knows she needs the kid gloves with me and I appreciate that more than I can say. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Stein's for about 5 years after MANY years of visiting other local dentists and just not feeling well taken care of. The office is friendly, the care is exceptional, and - importantly - I don't feel like I am viewed as an upsale opportunity every time I am in the office. I do have gum issues. Rather than immediately try and refer me to a periodontist or try and sell me other services in her office, she has taken a careful approach of taking measurements to monitor the progression and recommended incredibly inexpensive measures I can take to slow the progress (hydrogen peroxide at 99 cents a bottle and a new type of dental floss). I have referred more than a few friends, all happy clients... even my mom (a really tough cookie to please). If you want a quality dentist who operates with integrity, she's the one... and a super nice person to boot. read more

Going to the dentist terrifies me. Every time they tell me something is wrong but this experience was refreshing. All of the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Not only did they not push any extra services on me but they told me my teeth were perfect! That wasn't what I was expecting. I can't wait to come back! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Stein for over five years. Dr. Stein is a caring and compassionate doctor who truly looks out for her patients best interest versus sales tactics as most dentist do. Most importantly, I never feel her shots. Highly recommended! read more

Love this office! Clean and bright. Lindsey, the hygienist, is so sweet and good at what she does. Dr. Stein is talkative, soothing and fast.....really good at administering local anesthetic, too! I've got lots of facades that need to be replaced every once in a while and I've never felt any discomfort during procedures. Highly recommend! read more
