Essential Smiles Dentistry

I used to be terrified of dental visits until I came here. I’m totally satisfied with Essential Smiles Dentistry. The office was clean and neat. The staff is friendly and courteous as well. There was no wait or any long paper work to fill out.
The doctor here is awesome! Very nice, gentle and professional. Funny guy too! Dr. Richard always knows how to make his patients feel cared for, always asking «Are you ok?» throughout the procedure. Moreover, his specialty is excellent. Normally, I couldn’t eat anything in one week after filling cavities. But I don’t feel any sensitive after all.
I’m happy with their amazing skills to make my every visit painless. I always have a pleasant experience here. They’ve been my primary dental care for over a year when I need teeth cleaning or fillings. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a dependable dental care office. :)

I used to hate going to the dentist but after my experience with this office changed my mind! They were so friendly and made me feel right at home! I would highly recommend this office to everyone! Thank you guys for making me feel so comfortable! I WILL BE BACK!!!

Best Dentistry Experience Ever! Highly recommend for anyone who has had trouble trusting dentists! It’s a very calming office and modern too, don’t let the size fool you.
Dr. Richard and Poppy made my fear of dentists lessen significantly, by listening to my fears and making sure that I was comfortable at all times. I am glad that I went and they have set me on the path for better oral health.

I live all the way in Orange but drive out of my way cause they do such a great job. Already referred my husband and 2 co-​workers.

Dr. Richard Cua, and his team are great. Don’t let their youthfulness (approx. 30 yo) fool you– these guys are professional, care about their patients’ health, funny, energetic and insightful.
About six months ago, I had a crown put in at Essential Smiles, and the dental skills Richard has is remarkable. I’ve had little to no discomfort after the crown set. The appointment was fairly painless, and overall I am very happy with the work Richard has done. I would recommend him to any of my family and friends. He gave me truthful and correct dental advice and told me in advance the costs so I could budget accordingly and check their prices with other dentists.
Personally, I’m that guy who knows health is important, but I’m so busy with my career and graduate school program, that dentist appointments have fallen off my list of things to do. The persistence that the Essential Smiles staff has demostrated in calling me is amazing, and it’s always a friendly call left on my voicemail reminding me of a followup.
I highly recommend people in the FV and OC areas to try them out. The first visit to dentists for consultation is free, right? So what have you got to lose?!

Great service and I love their honesty. Everyone here is so friendly and it’s a very clean and modern facility! I definitely didn’t feel like they were trying to do any unnecessary work which I think a lot of dentist do. I would highly recommend them to any of my family or friends.
