Smiling Seal Pediatric Dentistry

My son loves this place. The staff are very nice, patient and professional. My son has special needs and this place knows how to treat their patients well. Definitely would recommend!

Awesome staff and kid friendly atmosphere. My 3-​year old daughter has been absolutely terrified of the dentist. But her first visit here I was shocked to see how quickly she warmed up to the staff and allowed them to do what they needed to do. As we were leaving she proudly said with a big smile on her face «Mommy I was not scared!» Thank you Smiling Seal Pediatric Dentistry Valencia for all that you do to make children comfortable and have a healthy beautiful smile!

Unilocal needs more stars so I can give them to this place. It blows any other child dentistry out of the water. Very professional and patient staff. As you enter the atmosphere is fun and inviting. The best solution for my 4 year old daughter’s dentistry needs.
Hands down the best.

As a dental healthcare professional myself, I wanted to make sure that my children got the proper care that they needed. One thing I am certain of is that not all pediatric dentists or dentists in general, have the same compassion for their patients as others do. I came across Smiling Seal online so I did my research and decided to give them a shot based on all of the positive reviews. And sure enough they were no short of amazing.
As soon as you walk in, you step into a different world, decorated with many different colors and characters. There is always something fun to look at. It really brings your child’s imagination to life. It’s a place your child can come to feeling excited and at ease.
Not to mention the wonderful team that greets you with a smile! Check in was easy and then it was all play from there while you wait. The Dr. came and introduced herself and explained everything to myself and my daughter, showed her everything they would do step by step and made her as comfortable as possible. They were very gentle with my 3 year old and made it an exciting experience for her. I got multiple requests from friends and family for the office’s information after seeing pictures of her 1^st visit. They will definitely be getting more patient’s looking forward to the great experience and dental care. We couldn’t be happier.

Smiling Seal Pediatrics was so welcoming and professional on our first visit. My son was assaulted by another child at his daycare and I called last minute to see if they could see him.
The front office was friendly, accommodating, welcoming and professional. The assistant was very attentive with my son and explained everything very thoroughly to him. The doctor was super attentive and compassionate. I highly admire his chairside manner. I would highly recommend them.

Love this place! Everyone very friendly (and patient) with all the children. I wish I could go there!

I absolutely LOVE this pediatric dental office (hands down). I myself work at a dentist (general practice) so you would think I would take my baby there but since it’s not an office who specializes with kids that age, I just wouldn’t take him there, not that the dental office I work for sucks because they don’t, I love where I work and the dentist are amazing but I personally think as experience I wouldn’t take kids from the age range of 1 – 6 to a general practice, I would want an environment in where it looks playful, fun, colorful… You name it. I did my research all over the valley since I do live in the San Fernando area & found couple dentist with great reviews but it was not what I was looking for, I wanted a dental office that was exciting and fun for my toodler. He’s turning two in April so he’s into the bright colors, cartoon characters ect.
So I searched in the Santa Clarita area & this office caught my attention right away, read all the great reviews and decided to not look else where, went to their website and asked for a call back to get more info. They called within 2 hours. The lady who I spoke with was very friendly and helpful. It’s then when I felt safe and comfortable choosing this dental office for my little one. They sent me a link to my email to filled out forms and create a user on their website, in which I loved. You have access to your insurance, appointments, family file, etc.
The day of my sons appointment we walked in & were amazed on how beautiful it really looks on the inside. It’s so colorful and fun. We did have to wait for a bit but it wasn’t a big deal, at least the receptionist and staff constantly kept apologizing, the wait time didn’t bother me because it’s actually pretty fun being at the waiting area, my son wouldn’t stop running around, laughing… Simply having a blast.
Luis the dental assistant who came to greet My son all the way outside was amazing. Offered him a toothbrush & did all he can to make him feel comfortable. He was so patient & went step by step showing my son what instruments were going to be used to brush his teeth. I’m in awe on how amazing this place is. Luis even took 2 set of X-​rays on my son to check on a concern I had & even asked me to help him push the button that takes the X-​ray picture while he helped my son.
Dr Angela Choi is simply awesome. She her self is very sweet and patient with kids. Counted my sons teeth with him & explained & answered in very well detailed all of our concerns. I wouldn’t be any more satisfied than this experience with my baby. He didn’t even wanna leave. Thank you Smiling Seal Dental for your patience & care for my baby. Definitely sticking to this office.

This was my sons first visit there and Nurse Ping made him feel extremely comfortable. The office is very kid friendly and makes it fun and relaxing in a kid type of way. I would recommend Smiling Seal to others.

My kids first visit was yesterday and was great. Had some issues at first with our insurance and whether they were in network but finally got it cleared up.
The actual visit was really good and my three kids (ages 10, 7, and 2) loved it! The dental assistants made them feel very comfortable and were extremely kind and the doctors were great as well.

Good luck getting them to call you back I have left several messages and no one called me back… I even send a message via Unilocal and still no reply or call back its so unprofessional! After all the good reviews I was looking forward to taking my kids there… I guess I’ll keep looking

BEST pediatrics dental office around SCV!!!
I took my 5 year old here a couple days ago for a check up, after reading all the good reviews. I also took my 3 y/​o to join so he could see what happens at a dental appt. First off, my kids LOVE sea life so they were ecstatic about the set up. I made an appt for my 3 y/​o & finished filling out paperwork for my older son. It was a breeze. The dental assistants here are amazing!!! They really go above & beyond to make your kids comfortable & at ease. My 5 y/​o has had a lot of terrible experiences with dentists, so this was major for us. He was laughing, having a blast. He has two caps on two front teeth. The white composite came off of one, exposing his silver tooth. Last dental office we went to (around the same area) I asked if there was a way to put some white composite on it to hide the silver. The DR told me NO, if I wanted it to have a white face they would have to take caps off & do it all over again. No thanks. I asked Dr. Choi about it & right away she goes yeah we can just put some white composite on it no problem!
By the time we left the office, my 3 y/​o was crying because he was jealous & wanted to be seen by Dr. Choi also. Seriously! What child cries because he wants to go to the dentist? That alone speaks volumes.
Today my 3 y/​o had his first ever check up. It was so easy & such a fun experience for him. His dental assistant, Kyra, is seriously the sweetest. My son just adores her.
My kids cannot wait to come back. Thank you Unilocal for bringing us into this office. :)
Also, after your first visit you get a cute certificate & a t-​shirt! Kids get a toy, tooth brush, tooth paste, floss & sticker.
Only downfall is that it’s only for kids. I want to watch a movie with cool sunglasses & headphones while I get my teeth cleaned! :)

I love this dentist for my kids. My son has came here and now my daughter. My two year old just went for her first visit ever and they took such great care of her. They accept most PPO insurances only I believe. They first start of checking you in. You can pre-​fill out your paperwork online or when you arrive which they use ipads to sign in. In the waiting area they do have video games the children can play while they wait. The wait was not very long. Then they take you into office evaluate and ask few questions with dental assistant, they also take a photo. After that they take photos of teeth and then head into main area and clean teeth. My daughter was scared to lay down so they let her sit up while they clean teeth. The dental assistant is wonderful with kids and always smiling. When the kids do lay down they have headphones and tvs above the bed to watch movies like Frozen while their teeth are being worked on. After working on teeth they give the child either a rubber duckie toy or a small toy from the toy machine. They also get a little goodie bag with toothbrush and stickers and stuff. It was her first visit so she also got a certificate and a free tshirt. I highly recommend for young kids.

So happy to have found this place. My 6 year old hates the dentist. After a long night of tooth pain I found this place on Unilocal and saw they opened at 7am on Mondays!!! Score for working parents. The entire staff was friendly. The place was spotless… it even smelled good!!! Everything went smoothly and we didn’t have to wait at all… thank you!!!

Amazing! My kids love this place! The staff is super cool n friendly! Super clean, nice and well done! I couldn’t be happier as a mom!

First off, scheduling was a breeze. They were friendly and accommodating and got both my kids in very quickly.
They send you the paperwork to fill out online — and it’s a breeze. I appreciate that little convenience!
By the time we showed up for my kids’ appointments all I had to do was sign the forms while my kids cozied up to the Xbox games in the waiting area. The décor of the waiting area is super charming and inviting and my kids love it.
The staff was great with my kids — both of whom are on the spectrum and have sensory sensitivities. The environment is very engaging, and they loved being able to lay down and watch movies on the ceiling while they had their teeth cleaned. The cherry on top for them was getting a goody bag of dental items, prizes, and a t-​shirt when we left.
I appreciated the professionalism of the staff, the speed at which they worked, and the gentleness with which they treated my babes. So much goodness from start to end.

As a mother of four kids ranging in ages 18 – 7 I have to say this is the best place I have ever taken my kids to for dental work,. I wish I could have found them years earlier. We have been patients with Smiling Seal for about a year and a half now and have not one complaint.
The office — totally kid friendly. There are murals on all the walls of under water & carnival themed. The front office has a TV and a few video games stations to keep the kids busy before the apt. Every time we go in they have a monthly give away which my kids love participating in. Each exam table is brightly colored and have TV monitors above them. The kids get to pick which movie they want to watch and are given cool sun glasses to protect their eyes from the light and headphones to hear the movie.
The Staff– Every single [person I have ever encountered here has been extremely friendly. The office staff is very accommodating and works with you before during and after the visit to make sure you know exactly what treatment and what your charges will be. The dentist are amazing as well. They are very gentle and always do great work. We have everything from basic check up /​cleaning to having teeth pulled and cavities filled. No one has ever been unprofessional in anyway. They make sure you are comfortable with what procedure will be preformed before hand and make sure the kids are comfortable and not scared.
I can’t say enough about this place. I wish I could get my teeth done here. If you really are looking for a great dentist for your children you have to try Smiling Seal.

We just moved to the area and were looking for a pediatric dentist. We found this place on Unilocal and decided to check them out. I went there to do all the paperwork before our first appointment and they were extremely helpful, even told me what my insurance will cover. Also, most of their new patient paperwork is done online. Super convenient.
Our first appointment didn’t go great, our daughter is very frightened of doctors and dentists. They suggested that we give her an IV sedative to give a thorough exam, although they saw at least one cavity from their brief exam.
We were very apprehensive about the procedure, but the entire staff (Dr. Choi, Dr. Park and Terri) explained exactly what they were going to do and how much it will cost. They were very thorough and honest. We felt very safe letting their staff put our daughter under anesthesia. They got her X-​rays done, cavity filled and teeth cleaned within 45 minutes. It was a very safe, pleasant experience.

Awesome experience from start to finish. It has been a while for me, and my memory is a little foggy pre-​five years old; however, I can guarantee that my first dentist appointment did not come anywhere close to matching the experience Smiling Seal provided for my son.
The place itself looks more like a playground than a dental office, and gives new meaning to the term kid-​friendly. They have video games in the lobby, TVs on the ceiling, prizes for the kids, etc. They even know how to talk to kids: «Let’s go take some pictures of your teeth!», is a simple, yet genius way to tell a kid it’s time for x-​rays.
Dr.Ebrahimi was great, and so were all of his co-​workers. I wish I caught some more of their names because they were all super friendly and professional. They even sent my son a personalized letter a couple days after his appointment thanking him for his visit. I know it is a standard letter they send out to all new patients, but he doesn’t, which is all that matters. The letter was the perfect way to end a 5 star experience. Highly recommended.

So so so so so happy we moved to this dental office for our kids. My husband and I were blown away by how great the whole staff was with our kids. First off, the waiting area had video games which kept my kids busy while we finished some paperwork.
We didn’t even wait 5 minutes after our paperwork was completed before we were called in. We were taken to a room that was like an office, and Dr. Angela came in to go over what was going to take place during their appointments. She was very thorough and my kids loved her!
When we were brought to the treatment room, my kids got to lay down on separate beds next to each other. They both got to watch a movie, and put on sunglasses to shield them from the bright light. Dr. Angela was so patient and sweet to both of my kids. After they were done, they each were given a sticker and a token to pick a toy from the toy tower! They also got a bag with a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and a timer to make sure we’re brushing the kids teeth for the proper amount of time.
The last part involved going over our bill, which was so thorough and detailed. They gave us an exact break down of what was covered by insurance and what we were responsible for. Definitely no financial surprises, which was great! The lady going over our bill gave our kids t-​shirts and was incredibly sweet!
Overall, I would recommend this office to every single parent I know! The office is so clean, they are very high tech, and the staff is great with kids! I’m keeping my kids here for as long as I can!

This place is awesome!!! Dr. Ninus was so great and gentle with my 3 year old. He explained everything and she just loved him. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a pediatric dentist.
The office is also very nice and super clean. My daughter didn’t want to leave.
