Sparks David, DDS

Dr. Sparks is hands down the best orthodontist in the area, his quality of works sets him apart from all the rest. He takes the time to work with every patient and is confident he can give everyone a great smile!
My husband and I both were treated by him as adults, my husband had an underbite and crooked bite (very difficult case). If we would have left it he would have broken most of his teeth off by time time he was middle age. He had to have adult jaw surgery (which he was nervous about at first) looking back my husband will tell you he is so glad he did and would do it all again if needed! Go here, the staff is excellent and caring and Doctor sparks knows what he is doing! Thank you!

Great office

All of my girls have grown up with Dr Sparks. They have the most amazing smiles and straight teeth. Dr Sparks is very very good at what he does. His staff are exceptional and friendly. If I were to do it all over again, I would send my girls there again. Parents, giving your kids a confident smile will change their whole perspective in life and will set them up for success in what ever they do. Dr Sparks prices are very reasonable but more than anything He does care about his patients. I highly recommend you go to him.

I always love coming to the Tin Grin, the office is so friendly, professional and the doctor is one of the best!

I’ve almost finished my treatment and I have nothing but praise for Dr. Sparks and his entire team of technicians and staff. Everybody is friendly, professional and patient. They are always accommodating if you need to drop in for an emergency repair and having 2 locations is an added bonus (Long Beach and Cerritos). I would definitely recommend this practice to anybody needing orthodontic work.
Thank you!

I’ve been coming to Dr. Sparks’s office for over 20 years. That’s right, even before he was there, and it was Dr. Synder’s office. Dr. Sparks is as good as it gets, and that being said, you get the best service with an interpersonal touch. From getting braces twice, to retainers twice, and now servicing my lower permanent retainer for over 8+ years, I really believe in the guy. I’ve seen him grow from the beginning, and only get better and better. He is courteous, professional, and is busy because of such great service.
I recently came in as my lower retainer had finally broken from years of use. Making an appointment was just as easy as it was years ago, and upon arrival I was told up front about any costs. As I sat in the chair I greet Maria, who I remember seeing on her first days here. Now, as much as one could ride the warm waves of nostalgia, Dr. Sparks came in a jiffy and after a quick catch-​up session he explained additional options. Respectfully and without any pushy follow-​up, I decided for my cost-​effective option and the retainer was fixed. The rates were flat and assigned according to the job. There’s no negotiation as the service costs what it costs and the parts cost what they cost. Within an hour I was out, and the job was done with virtually no pain or trouble.
To be quite frank, this doctor and his staff are very busy and in demand. He goes between this office and one in Long Beach to serve a very demanding area filled with tons of suburban kids and their misaligned fortunes. I’ve been to other folks over the years as I’ve moved, but I keep on coming back to him if I ever need any treatment in his scope. I would also note that any complaints are usually minimal, to colors or pain as some don’t understand that realigning teeth and sensitivities are not a painless process. It’s hard work on both the doctor and yours. So to one who does one of the best jobs I’ve ever seen; cheers to a wonderful orthodontist!

I would like to warn any adults that go here: I was given an exam and X-​rays and spoke with Dr. Sparks and told I only needed a bottom retainer. Then after making an impression (the girls there hurt my mouth doing an impression by cutting my gums with the plastic mold) I went back to get my retainer.
The Doctor asked me why I only am getting bottom retainers– wait he told me I only need bottoms!
No one asked (apparently I had a choice) what color I wanted it. And I has to ask about a case.
I constantly had to bug them to give me an appointment.
My result– my teeth are better but not fixed. No one cared to even ask.
GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! After looking into them my insurance stated they were covered but I was given a payment schedule of partially being covered.

Dr. Sparks and his staff are always very friendly and professional. All three of my children have gone to him. I’m very happy with the results. I would recommend Dr. Sparks to anyone. He also took our family and all his customers families to a free Angels Baseball game for customer appreciation. I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Sparks office.

Making the first appointment was easy; however, when I went in for the consultation I was bothered by how unfriendly the lady who gives you the braces quote was. No smile or anything, she seemed bothered.
When the Dr. entered the room he didn’t introduce himself. He just hurried into the room directly to my daughters mouth and then asked me if I was going to do something about it. The next day I called back and the lady was rude again over the phone when I asked more about the quote. Instead of making sure I understood she sternly repeated her answer.
I chose another orthodontist for my family.

I highly recommend Dr Sparks and his staff for orthodontia treatment. Dr Sparks is a very nice guy and is very easy to talk to. He has a lot of experience in his profession and there is probably not a lot he has not seen before.
In my case I had some crazy gaps in my teeth and a underbite that’s always bothered me. Before treatment I was always too ashamed to smile. However, Dr Sparks and his staff did a brilliant job on my teeth and worked with my surgeon to get the underbite fixed.
So I just today got my braces off and I guess I’m done. I am writing this review while my retainer is being made. I’m really going to miss coming here though. Not just because of the snacks and cocoa. When I got back from surgery, I found flowers and card waiting for me at my house. That really made me good. I knew all along I picked the right orthodontist.

Dr sparks is such a great Ortho! He’s precise and attentive. Also he’s knowledgable about all my questions. Price is expensive, but right for what I’m getting done.(since I have to pull out a tooth that’s in my gums) Also he’s a huge sports fan with LEGIT memorabilia everywhere, which is a plus for me. If you want quality Ortho work done, Dr. Sparks is your guy.

I have nothing bad to say at all.
Staff great
I love it!

Sparks is an awesome guy. He does orthodontic work [braces] and his entire staff is really nice and makes you feel good even though the heavy wires won’t.
The office is very friendly and setting up appointments is easy and quick. Their chairs face the street window so you can something to look at when you’re waiting — it has a nice calming effect.
