Ocean Smile Dental

Dr. Steven James Nguyen save my life. I was hiding in my room when my tooth crack. No work, no smile, in paint. He was so good, I can’t EVEN FEEL THE NIDDLE, when he NUMB ME :) he make me feel so comfortable. When he working on my tooth. Love the result of my tooth. Must check this dr out guys. He is the best :) thank you dr Steven James.

Nobody looks forward to going to the dentist, but this place will make it as way as possible. With really working-​parent-​friendly hours (can you say weekend appointment!?) and friendly staff, my kids have had a great experience here!

this dentist office is awesome, loved dr steven he was very gentle and took his time explaining all procedures needed, also very clean office would definitely recommend this office

Dr Steven is a great dentist. Very informative, gentle and gets the job done. I like his approach of solving the problem and not just covering it up. Highly recommend him go see him today!

My son had his first dentist visit with Dr Richard Nguyen and he was fantastic! My son had a great experience and wants to go again! I’m a chicken when it comes to getting dental work and avoid it at all costs! Had to have a filling and was terrified! Dr. Richard checked frequently if I was ok and if I had any pain and I didn’t! I have had several bad experiences at other offices and feel very confident coming back for my wisdom tooth extraction and other filling! I think we have found our dental «home»! Oh! And Dr. Richard came up with a dental plan and told me his opinion on what kind of work I should get done. He stated that all of the work where his recommendations and I didn’t have to do any of it if I didn’t want to. I didn’t feel pressured or «up sold» on any treatments. I felt he made fair recommendations and didn’t feel that my copay charges where anything more then they should be I am very happy we found this office! All the staff are friendly and the place is clean!

BEWARE OF THIS OFFICE! I went in because of the reviews that i came across, but the actuality is that, this dental office, Dr. Richards is a dental thief. Because I have an HMO, it doesn’t mean you get to take advantage of people or the insurance company. He had told me that I had a few route canals that needed to be done, but when I went to go get a second opinion, I found out that those so-​called route canals that he was talking about, where actually filings that I had already had done. He wanted to do damage on my mouth when there wasn’t anything to be done for. He also charged my HMO for irrigation, which isn’t a real thing. He wanted to make money off of patients. Also, he is pretty rude with his staff in front of patients, and his staff really tries to up sell you on theirs products and they aren’t that knowledgeable either. Dr. Richards office will try to make as much money off of the patient as he can. I will be calling my HMO to report this. They made me feel so uncomfortable during my visit and he wasn’t the nicest to say the least. Save yourself the headache and go some where else. When you go to one of these places, always ALWAYS get a second opinion with and actual dentist. Not a money hungry one.

My mom loves this place! Doctor Steven did deep cleaning, whitening, and polishing and she was really satisfied with the results. Service is great as the staff was friendly.

I went here and the lady at the front was very nice. Dr. Steven Nguyen really cares about his patients. The office was very clean and I even got to watch a movie while getting my teeth cleaned :)

Dr Steven is an excellent dentist, I must say! He made me and my 8 year old daughter felt at ease during our entire visit. He is very professional and thorough. I’ve had bad experiences with my previous dentists, who’s main focus is making money. Dr Steven saved me thousands of dollars for unnecessary dental work, that my other dentist recommended.
His entire staff are very nice and professional.
I highly recommend Ocean Smile Dental office! I can assure you, that you will get the best care and honest opinion in regards to your dental needs.

1^st time here! They did GREAT! Thank God, lol — The shot to numb me was as smooth and painless as possible! I was terrified walking in because I (like most) hate going to the dentist. Had crazy anxiety but I will say they did a great job keeping me cool and occupied and the Dr was VERY gentle. All I cared about was the numbing which went great. Everything else was smooth sailing! I would certainly recommend and I am glad I found a dentist that I will stick with :) Plus they work weekends so I don’t lose time at work. BONUS!

I have to say going to the dentist is probably not a high priority for people, but going to Ocean smile has to be one of the best experiences that I have ever had. Dr Richard, Louise and Melody were so AWESOME!!!. Super friendly and very caring. The office is self is very clean and modern. The best part about the visit is being able to watch a movie while you are getting your teeth cleaned. I, unfortunately had to get a deep cleaning, but the whole experience was great. Dr. Richard was great at administering the anesthesia. You could not even feel when you were getting the shots. Dr Richard would always ask when administering each shot i if it hurt so that he could adjust how he did things. I was able to split my cleaning in two days. They even had the movie that I was watching the day before ready for me. This was a great experience for me as someone that really does not like going to the dentist. I hope to be a patient for many years to come! Thanks Dr. Richard and Staff… you guys are AWESOME!

Hm, My experience with this place was amazing! Dr steven was so funny and his staffs were super warm and welcoming. Made my whole entire «dentist» experience very comfortable. Dr steven takes good care of your teeth and he’ll also educate you and give you tips and advice on how to maintain them! Super awesome!
Also if youre a clean freak like me, this place will def not disappoint, very clean and spacious. All their equipments are brand new too!
Finally found a dentist that actually care and not just try to take your money, i would totally recommend this place.
Ps. I rarely write review on Unilocal but because dr steven was so wonderful I have to log on and give him and his staffs some credits!
Will definitely be back soon for my check ups and cleanings!

I was coming from a bad dentist that i just put up with for a long time because i was too lazy to search and it was too hard to find a good dentist. A friend recommended this place after moving to the city, and not only are they the friendliest people they actually care about you… but the services exceeded my expectations. I did get the FREE x ray and cleaning and also a treatment plan. I came back after we figured out my insurance and i got my front teeth fixed and i was so happy! I now recommend all my friends and family to this place.

There’s nothing more rewarding to me then placing my vulnerability in the hands of sprouting businesses! Located between Bushard St. and Hamilton Ave. in Huntington Beach it’s only 10 minutes from my apartment. Within its white walled interior (I love the white theme, obviously ties in well with the white teeth they happen to be great at achieving) I found a wondrous, humorous staff. They gave me a tour of the place, and its really cute and tidy. The receptionist, Louise, was very friendly. While filling out some forms Dr. Richard came out to personally greet me to his new office. By speaking with Dr. Richard I soon found out that him and his brother both opened this office together. His brother, Dr. Steven, also practices orthodontics. They sat me down and started the teeth cleaning immediately. The dentist’s assistant, Lina if I remember correctly, was very friendly and very helpful. We joked and talked a lot. I asked where was a good place to eat and she went to to front of the office and talked with Louise. They both brought back menus from the places they order from to show me! How thoughtful! During the cleaning Dr. Richard had on these super-​cool goggle/​binocular-​looking things. He told me that with the device on, my teeth were gigantic to him. I swear, he looked like some spec-​ops guy. It was cool. They joked about which teeth I wanted to keep and which I wanted to lose. I had the best cleaning I’ve ever had. The doctor and assistant worked meticulously and made sure my teeth were brand-​spanking new. I never got that much attention during a teeth cleaning before! Usually its five minutes and I’m out the door. Dr. Richard made sure that my teeth was top-​notch before letting me go! That was funny as well. Overall, my experience at this dental office was perhaps my most pleasant experience at any dental office. I’ve seen several dentists throughout my years, but I definitely loved the vibe at this dental office the most. To me, there’s nothing more important (besides the quality of work done) than the vibe of a place and Ocean Smile Dental definitely has a laid-​back, fun vibe. ⁵⁄₅ will come here always from now on!
