Dains Delores, DDS

Dr. Dains has been the ONLY dentist for my entire family for 20ish years? I am SO thankful to have found Dr. Dains, and for such a long and satisfying relationship with her and her staff. Her skill, professionalism and manner are a measure for all professionals in the personal care/​service field. I am a professional in a personal service field with thousands of clients and I measure service I provide by people like Dr. Dains. Simply, thank you Dr. Dains and staff…

If you are looking for a highly professional and competent dentist, I recommend Dr. Delores Dains. My family & I have been going to Dr. Dains for more than 8 years and she is friendly, fast, efficient & knowledgable. I have had crowns & fillings, as well as regular cleanings, and my overall experience has been very pleasant. Her staff is friendly and courteous and they run on-​time. I am very satisfied with Dr. Dains & her staff!

I have been going to Dr. Dains for many years now and wanted to give her and her staff kudos for making my trips to the dentist as pleasant as possible. Most Doctors make you wait but they have always been right on time which is very important to me. As far as dentists go, Dr. Dains is awesome.

My family and I have been going to Dr. Dains for about 15 years. We totally trust her. She is very gentle and compassionate. She and her staff are fantastic! Everyone is the office is professional and kind. Unlike many other dentists, she does not try to sell unnecessry services, like «deep dental cleanings.» Also, her fees are very fair and her staff does a great job of managing the billing process. We are patients for life!

Well it started off to be a good experience with Dr. Dains, unfortunately it has been a negative one over the years. Last visit to have a crown fitted was horrible. She was condescending and it was painful to have the work done. I guess that’s a good way to get rid of patients. Thankfully found a great dentist in Irvine.

I have been a patient of Dr. Dains since I moved to Huntington Beach in 1990. Her father had the practice first and was recommended to us by a coworker. We (my entire family) have been extremely happy with the entire staff. I can not say enough about all of our positive experiences. From simple checkups to crowns and bridgework they have been professional and empathetic. Thank you.
Recently I have used Unilocal for information before buying something or using a service. I have found the reviews to be helpful in narrowing down my choices. I have never reviewed anyone before but felt the need to for people, businesses and services that I have used and found to be either outstanding or awful. I find Dr. Dains and her entire staff to be OUTSTANDING.

Deloris Dains is a great dentist to go to. I had a regular guy for 25 plus years, and had good teeth with very few problems. I gave the the guy who bought his practice a couple years. I ended up with a serious molar problem because of his lack of diligence and competence, got referred to Dains office by a friend, and she’s done a great job picking up the pieces since.
Work in there is not rushed, they are very professional, and the friendly atmosphere allows for as relaxing an experience as can be expected going to the dentist.
The office has a great atmosphere, people enjoy being there, and that fosters good work. I’ve been going there five or six years now, and I’m extremely pleased with everything about her operation. At one point I needed a root canal (my first), and she referred me to a brilliant guy up in Orange over the typical Newport crowd, and this guy was the best.
You would do very well for yourself here, if you’re looking for a dentist.

I have been going to this practice since 1963 when I was a kid and her father was just starting his private practice. When she joined her father, it was a great addition. The people in this office are great. When my son knocked his two front teeth out on a Friday night, everybody showed up, his teeth were reimplanted and wired together. When I broke an old root canal and was seeing stars, Dr Delores Dains left a conference in Los Angeles and met me at her office by herself and tried to save the tooth. My whole family, siblings, mother, children, spouse all have been going to her. I referred a dear friend and he said «Thank you» for referring him to Dr Delores Dains as she was gentle and just what he wanted in a dentist. I have only gone to another dentist on referral from her for specialized treatment, like complicated root canal work and my daughter’s wisdom teeth removed that required an oral surgeon. Gosh, I hope she never retires!

I just happened on a bad review of Dr. Dains and had to write in. I have been going to her for 7 or 8 years, my whole family goes to her and I have referred numerous friends – all who love her. I have gotten fillings, crowns, veneers and even a root canal (I know – my mouth is falling apart) and have never had one minute of pain either during the procedures or after. Dr. Dains is an excellent dentist. I never thought she recommended anything that was not necessary – and she always tries to do a conservative fix before she does anything major. Every single person on her staff is professional, friendly and efficient. I would never go to another dentist after having known her. Trust me, you will be glad you found her.

WARNING ! This dentist only cares about PROFIT and how to make money off of you and she will inflict PAIN and doesn’t give s%#^ if you are suffering after!
She told me I had a cracked tooth that she needed to fix and I let her (I was not experiencing any pain or S/​e at that time) after 2 weeks and a lot of discomfort she claimed I needed a crown and when I came in for that procedure she TORTURED me! I had to ask her to stop 3 times due to the pain and she injected more novocaine.
She told me that my nerve was very inflamed and to take Motrin around the clock.
When the novocaine wore off I was in excruciating pain and I called to request pain medication. I spoke to COLLEEN who BTW is NOT a nurse or medical person and she REFUSED my request! She insisted that I take Motrin around the clock and gargle with salt! When I asked to speak to Dr Dains she said Dr Dains is VERY busy.
At this point I could not open my mouth all the way, or eat. I had to BEG her to ask Dr Dains again for TYLENOL WITH CODEINE and they made me feel like I was a drug addict! When I complained to their office person ODETTE she was insultingly passive aggressive and even brought up PAST DUE balances of people that I had referred to their office! I actually think that’s a HIPPA violation!
Long story short– they will rip you AND your insurance company off FIND ANOTHER DENTIST

She’s good. Plus, everyone there is so friendly and professional. Most of the people there are women, and Dr. Dains is so kind. I stopped seeing her for 2 years b/​c I could not afford going to the dentist, and when I came back, she was still super-​nice. Gretchen is her sidekick, and Gretchen is super nice and funny too!
And when I met my BF, I found out that he and his whole family went to see her as well!
