Datu David DDS Inc

I really do not like dentists and all of the employees here make you feel at home. Super kind and gentle.

This review covers the 25+ years that ive been in the care of Dr Datu — he & his wonderful staff of professionals have gone above & beyond to provide me with an awesum experence to the point where i now drive 25miles for return checkups —
His patient care & knowledge of my dental history has been a benifit to my long term health goals, he gives you the facts, the importance and allows you to decide — no big high pressure sales pitch — just reality& solutions. Hes not inexpensive — but hes worth the investment !!!

After not visiting a dentist for quite a few years, i had a filling fall out and needed to get it fixed asap. I found Dr. Datu on the list my insurance provider gave me, and scheduled an appt. His staff was courteous and professional on the phone, and the same in person. I, like most people, DREAD going to the dentist for anything, but after meeting Dr. Datu, i was set at ease. My lost filling ended up needing a crown, but the procedure wasn’t uncomfortable, and i feel that i got a great value for my dollar. I will be returning to Dr. Datu for all my future dental needs.

Dr. Datu is a great dentist that is truly involved in giving his patients the best possible treatments and experiences.
His staff is beyond exceptional as well.

I was recommended to Dr. Datu by a friend and have been going there ever since; it’s been over 6 yrs now! The staff is very helpful and friendly, and Dr. Datu is the best. I get compliments on my teeth all the time and people actually ask me who my dentist is! (No joke) I highly recommend Smile Gallery!

My family and I have been a patient of Dr. Datu before Smile Gallery Dental opened. Dr. Datu was my dentist in Downey, and when I discovered that he was opening up his own dental practice in Orange, I had to follow him. We’ve been loyal patients ever since because my family and I have to travel over 24 miles (30 minutes) EACH WAY to visit Dr. Datu. It’s worth the drive, gas, mileage, and time because my family and I consistently receive the the highest quality of dental care and advice. We love Nicole and Daniella because they are always nice and helpful.

Dr. Datu’s office was very welcoming! The staff are all friendly and really helpful, answered all my questions and really made me feel comfortable. Dr. Datu himself also put me at ease because I came to this dentist with a lot of concerns, and fear from terrible dental experiences in the past. He is really good at being patient, explaining everything so you understand what’s going on and what is the ideal course of treatment, and I feel like his motives were pure (he didn’t try to push extra/​unnecessary procedures just to make money. which has happened to me a lot with other dentists!). I left feeling really reassured and like I’m in good hands :)

I was very disappointed when I made an appointment here for my husband as a first time patient. I am pregnant so I was waiting til after the baby to get seen. I scheduled him for x-​rays, teeth cleaning and all the good stuff our insurance covers. He walked in, got the x-​rays and then was pulled into an office to go over $ 6,000 worth of dental work they needed to perform! They sent him home with the estimates and didn’t give him his teeth cleaning that our insurance clearly covers! I cancelled my appointment and will be looking for a dentist that wants to help his patients, not send them home after an incomplete visit and a huge estimate that’ll make a man go broke!

I was recommended to Smile Gallery Dental by a close friend who has been patient for almost 20 years. At a Halloween party last year I had quite a bad fall down concrete steps and broke my front teeth. It was a disaster, although could have been much worse. In any case the next morning when I was informed of Dr Datu’s brilliant work I called and they immediately scheduled an emergency appointment. The following day I was fitted with temporary crowns and I must say they matched the previous teeth extremely well, but that was just the beginning. the final porcelain fused gold crowns they fitted were truly amazing. They did custom shading to match my existing teeth and I might add the lab were they make the porcelain crowns is in close proximity to the surgery and it takes very little time to get the final measurements completed.
Having been a smoker for many years my teeth were not in good shape and to be honest were in need of some serious attention. I was aware of this prior to the accident, so I guess the breaking of my fronts was in all a good motivator to get the rest of the work done. Following my front crowns I had two more fitted in the back, a deep scaling and a series of MO and MOD fillings. Now my teeth feel amazing and it was sure worth the time and money. I had avoided the dentist for many years due to bad experiences as a child, although after visiting Smile Gallery Dental I actually enjoy visiting the dentist. All the staff who work there are extremely professional and very friendly at the same time. Furthermore, in light of doctor Datu’s amazing work I have decided to have all my front teeth crowned. This will eliminate the overcrowding I have on the bottom and close several gaps I have on the top, giving me a truly perfect smile. It is also important to note that I was never pressurized into having this work done and in fact when I mentioned I was interested in having more work done the staff sat down with me and explained what could be done in great detail and showed me before and after photos of previous success stories.
I would recommend Dr Datu at Smile Gallery Dental to anyone in need of a excellent dentist in a relaxed and friendly environment. Best of all, for people who work Monday through Friday, they offer Saturday appointments. Thanks Smile Gallery Dental for all your help and great advise.
