OC Healthy Smiles

Very friendly and professional staff who make visits go by quickly and easily. Dr Nguyen is great at explaining any issues that he finds and is willing to discuss the best option for you. Overall great experience, I would recommend to anyone looking for a dentist!

They are great here!
I am not a fan of going to the dentist like many of us. If you are like me, I recommend you come here. Their patients comfort and happiness is their top priority.
At one of my apportionment’s the doctor was running late by about 20 min, they gave me a starbucks gift card to card a drink around the corner. So sweet of them. Talk about putting the customer 1^st!
I need to get invisaline and current can not afford it they worked with me to come up with a payment plan and other ways of helping to make it easier financially on my husband and I.
**Tip** They have great referall programs, be sure to ask them about it!

I was not happy with my previous dentist, so I did research and found OC Healthy Smiles (thanks, Unilocal!).
On my first visit they did a tour, asked what my personal values are and the values I’m looking for in a dentist, what concerns I had about seeing a dentist, did a completely thorough/​detailed check of my teeth and gums, gave me a goody bag,.I mean I’d never had such a positive experience. To top it off, everyone was exceptionally warm and professional. I definitely recommend visiting Dr. Nguyen and his staff, you won’t regret it!
PS: Special thanks to Tara, who was AWESOME! :)

Super thorough. Came in and they gave me the full exam, X-​rays and cleaning. Didn’t up sell me or tell me I needed a deep cleaning since I haven’t been in a while. They just gave me what I needed. They are honest, friendly and easy to work with. I am very well pleased with Dr. Nguyen and my hygienist Stephanie was awesome!

I had a fantastic experience at OC Healthy Smiles! Dr. Nguyen and his staff are amazing. They pay extreme attention to detail and are very informative throughout every process which is very helpful when getting dental work done! I look forward to working with them closely for future dental work!

My experience at OC Healthy Smiles was great! All of the ladies are so sweet and my Doctor was amazing and so nice! Moving across country and trying to find a dentist I am happy and comfortable with was a relief! I highly recommend OC Healthy Smiles to anyone looking for a new dentist!

My first visit here and I’m very happy with the experience. The staff is friendly and engaging. They developed a good practice and routine that makes sure that you’re being helped the way you want to be.
I was looking for general cleaning and long term dental care and Dr Nguyen and staff made sure that was their primary focus. We walked through the process clearly and I was provided my options of what I wanted to do. I didn’t feel the pressure being forced into any recommendation I didn’t want. Actually I was only offered what I knew I needed which was great.
The experience was great and I’m happy to be coming back.

I love OC Healthy Smiles! My husband and I have been coming here for about two years now and we get our cleanings and anything else we need done here. I recommend Dr. Nguyen and his staff to anyone who is looking for a great family dentist!

I’ve been going to OC healthy smiles for 4 years now, love them! Clean and professional!

I have my family going to this dentist. My son, self, and wife. They have two offices which are kept up well. The staff is easy going and friendly. Tara is the best. She is very thorough in explaining details of each procedure. Dr. Mark is open to speaking with us about our needs, and special requests. He is friendly, and never forgets to send you off with a smile.
He personally called me once to check up with my son, which was surprising.
The entire office staff make you feel welcome.

I’m from out of the area and was looking for a local dentist to go to. Found OC healthy smiles on Unilocal and booked an appointment. As a new patient, they treat you impressively well. They ask questions about you, your preferences/​concerns, and their staff is really friendly. They make an effort to make you as comfortable as possible. Unfortunately, I had cavities to take care of but they broke it all down for me. I knew how much I was gonna have to pay and why. There was no pressure which was nice. Dr. Nguyen did the procedure quickly and seamlessly. I’m happy with my experience here so far!

Arrived on time, went right back and finished in 45min. Like on Unilocal and get free whitening. Stephanie is great!
Clean teeth!

Came here because I needed some teeth cleaning done and of course I turn to Unilocal to see what was the closest and highest rated reviewed dentist nearby. I came in and was treated very warmly by the front desk. I was then taken to the back by Tara and eventually Dr. Nguyen. I was very impressed with the oral examination that he performed as I’ve never had one done that was so comprehensive. After explaining a few things to me in layman’s terms, Tara and Dr. Nguyen proceeded to clean my teeth and get me out in a timely matter. Overall, great and friendly staff and I didn’t for one second feel I was being overwhelmed or stressed out about anything.

Amazing service and staff! I’ve been with Dr. Nguyen for years and I don’t mind making the drive to his other office in Costa Mesa. I’m ALWAYS treated with respect and they make everyone feel like they’re the only client in the place. I’ve had everything from braces to the basic cleaning and it’s never been a disappointment. Hope to be a loyal customer for many years

Great staff, great experience. What stood out for me the most is that I was asked how in detailed I wanted the doctor to get when describing my needs and such. The fact that they enough to ask questions like that confirm that this is the dentist office for my family.
I have never enjoyed visiting the dentist but I have no anxiety about actually following through with every 6 month visit.
Side note: quality swag bag for new patients!

Everyone is very nice and the clinic is clean. They take time to give high quality care.

The staff here is incredibly friendly and professional. They make sure to put your safety and comfort first.
Additionally, the office utilizes the latest technology to make sure you are receiving a proper and thorough examination.
This was my first visit and I can honestly say that this was my first enjoyable visit to the dentist!

I heard about OC Healthy Smiles through Unilocal and the stellar reviews. The office is only 5 min from where I live so I decided to give their office a shot. Convenience is important to me.
I was met with friendly smiles from everyone that worked there and had a great experience. Dr Nguyen did a thorough check on my gums, teeth and even a cancer screening. He explained everything in detail and really cared about my overall health. My previous dentist kept telling me to have my crown replaced. I knew it would need to be done eventually but Dr Nguyen referred to me an orthodontist to get some other things checked before replacing it. He explained that if the crown was replaced now, there would be a good chance I would chip it again. I love that he was looking out for me and my long term needs. Definitely recommend Dr Nguyen and OC Healthy Smiles!

My first Unilocal review, and for a great reason, OC Healthy Smiles ROCKS!
First, upon entering the office you are greeted immediately, and in a friendly matter. Reception ensures to go through any and all questions that you have for first time visitors, as well as repeat visitors.
Secondly, and probably most importantly, the dentists here are incredibly thorough! With the technology that this office has to image, examine, and clean teeth you definitely leave feeling satisfied!
Overall, Stephanie, Tara, Monse, and Dr. Nguyen rocked! Thank you all so much and I will be back!

Again, a reminder… I don’t post a Unilocal Review until I’ve visited a place at least 3 times… This way, my reviews are always accurate… with that said, let me start my review.
Where do I begin… I love my teeth… I know the importance of good oral hygiene… the fact that your oral hygiene is connected to your heart, it’s huge in my book.
Dentists don’t scare me. Honestly, I love going to the dentist. I’m one of those people who appreciate a good dentist because they’re hard to find. I’m so glad I was introduced to Dr. Nguyen and his team. How do I love them? Let me share:
1. Honest
*Dr. Nguyen is one honest professional. He is sincere and really cares about your well-​being. He will explain the good, the bad, and the ugly right from the start. I’ve been to other dentists when they just tell you that «This is something you need to do» and not explain why. I’m the kind of person that wants to know why. That’s just how my brain works.
2. Meticulous
Here’s the definition: showing great attention to detail; precise; very careful. That’s Dr. Nguyen’s middle name: Meticulous. He’s a perfectionist and very thorough. He really wants to make sure everything is up to his standards. So, I recently had a crown done and the first one came back from the lab and I thought it looked fine. My old dentist would be like «Well, if you’re ok with it, let’s go for it.» But Dr. Nguyen is opposite from that. Even though it looked ok to me, he was not satisfied at all so he sent it back to the lab because he was not happy with it. That just tells you how persnickety he is and definitely someone who I can trust.
3. Pain Free
My pain tolerance level is not so bueno. As much as I love going to the dentist, the most painful part is when you get a deep cleaning or when they’re doing work on your pearly whites. In the past, I would have to beg the dentist for additional anesthesia /​Novocaine because I swear they never used enough of it. Dr. Nguyen and his team of professionals really care about your comfort level and they’re never stingy. He and the awesome assistants are always asking me if I’m ok… Even when they hit a deep pocket (we all know how uncomfortable that feels), he apologizes by saying «I’m sorry» even though in reality, it’s not his fault. They also provide blankets, water or tea, oh and most importantly, LIP BALM! Über important because our lips get all dry and crazy during procedures and being able to apply lip balm in the middle of your procedure is soooo awesome!
4. High Tech
Ok, I was totally impressed with their technology… First the x-​rays. OMG, no more biting into weird films that jab your gums and your tonsils. I have horrible tonsils and always hate having to get x-​rays done at the dentist. That’s something that I don’t have to worry about any more! Thank goodness. Oh, they also take xrays for crowns and I swear, it’s the most awesome thing in the world because the impressions are so accurate and you don’t have to do the nasty mouth gooey stuff that always leaves a nasty after taste. Another kudos! WiFi, TV, etc. while you wait in your chair. TOTAL PLUS!
Overall, I appreciate Dr. Nguyen and the level of care he provides his patients. This is not possible without his amazing team… From Tish (Office Manager) to Tara (Dental Assistant) to Brittany (Hygienist)… to everyone else. Dr. Nguyen also calls you the next day just to check up on you to see how you’re doing.
Thank you OC Healthy Smiles!!!
