PATIENT REVIEWS

The team at Smooth Dental Group is truly amazing & have become like family over the past few weeks. I came in thinking I had to have my wisdom teeth pulled out but they were quick to realize I had a different issue. Everyone was so sensitive to me and my pain the day I first came in and went above and beyond to make me feel at ease and comfortable. Since then; I’ve had more work done here, including a deep cleaning of my teeth and gums and I’ve never felt my teeth and gums so healthy. The hygienist, Richard is truly amazing! He is kind & made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. I cannot say it enough, the team is truly the best! Everyone here makes you feel right at home. The doctors are amazing!! I would recommend Smooth Dental to everyone.

Dr Tran and her staff are amazing. They make you feel at home. I always hated going to the dentist but they made my visit very comfortable and welcoming. I recently came to get my wisdom teeth taken out and was very anxious because I was nervous about the whole procedure. Dr Tran and her staff walked me through every step of the process and told me what to expect next.

When the time came, Dr Tran actually assisted in the removal of my wisdom teeth which made the whole process a little more bearable. She comforted me through every step of the procedure and made sure I was okay.

Would definitely recommend this practice to everyone. Will definitely be coming back for future dental work.

My husband and I have been coming to Dr.Tran even before we had children. Now, our kids are 9 and 5 and we still go to her. She has become our family dentist. Dr. Tran has a way, not just with adults, but also with kids. My boys actually look forward to having their teeth cleaned each time 🙂

Dr. Tran and her staff always go above and beyond to make sure that her patients are comfortable. I have extra bones at the bottom of my teeth (i.e. tori) so it always hurts when they do the x-ray…but the dental assistants have been very patient each time. They find ways to make it work for me.

Dr Tran and her staff are amazing, friendly, and very professional. A day or two before each appointment a staff calls and reminds me of the appointment and asks if there’s anything I need to make my visit more comfortable. What makes this office great is that the Doctors actually take their time to explain and educate you on what’s happening with your teeth and what needs to be done to keep your teeth healthy. Another plus side to this office is that their office is sterile and I know for a fact that a lot of dental offices aren’t sterile. This office is different from the other offices I’ve been to. They don’t open any equipment until you’re actually in the seat and the Dr is there. And after each one of my appointments, either the staff or the Dr calls me to check up on how I’m feeling and makes sure I come in if I’m feeling any discomfort. I’m very satisfied every time I walk out of the office and highly recommend this place to anyone. They’re not in it to take your money, they actually enjoy taking care of you and your teeth.

I can’t say enough about Dr.Tran and her staff! I hate the Dentist. No like really hate the dentist. This doctor has so much compassion for her patients. She completely puts me at ease when doing work on my mouth. I’ve been going to smooth dental for over 20 years and would not think of going anywhere else. Thank you Dr.Tran and your excellent staff!

My experience getting fast braces was amazing! I saw my teeth moving within 2 weeks! The reason why I decide to get fast braces was because i wanted to have a perfect smile 🙂 It only took me about 4 months to have the smile I’ve always dreamed of! Ive been visiting Smooth Dental around the age of 10 and now im 24 I now bring my 3 boys! I totally recommend this place! The staff here are very friendly, kind, & always try to find a way to help you out! Not only are they very lovely but they make you feel like family! I love this place it’s amazing! Thank you Dr. Tran! & everyone for their help!

I have been going to Smooth Dental for a couple of years. They have helped me a lot with my dental troubles, which sometimes have been challenging. Always happy with their service and they obviously care about their patients. No problem recommending Smooth Dental.

I absolutely love this place! I have nerve damage in my face from previous dental work, and was very reluctant to let my mouth be worked on. However, they were so sweet to me, and made me feel right at home despite the fact I hadn’t seen the dentist in many years. I’m now brushing AND flossing daily, plus my teeth look and feel better than they have in YEARS. My boyfriend comes here too now, so he’s also maintaining healthy teeth with me  thanks to Smooth Dental. Thank you so much, again~!

I have been coming to Smooth Dental for about a month now and I couldn’t be happier with the level of professionalism. Dr. Tran is the best! She is always compassionate and constantly asking if I’ am ok or in any pain and making me feel as comfortable as she can possibly make me. When I come in through the front door, they know me by name. Dr. Tran, Larry, Jaime and Jason make me feel like a person rather than a patient. The entire office is friendly and can actually be very funny making me feel more at ease. Dr. Tran and the entire Smooth Dental family, I thank you for all that you do and for being legitimately the best practice I have ever experienced. To be honest, when I’m there, I never want to leave. I love you guys, you are awesome!

We recently moved to the area and I sent my husband here to try it out.  After his appointment he was raving about his experience. He said they were very friendly and worked their hardest to provide him with excellent service.  He also mentioned that he got to watch a movie as they cleaned his teeth! We had no problems with our insurance coverage and we were very impressed by their service.

Dr. Tran n her AmaZZzing team are/were outstanding, i have been a patient well over 10yrs!! Dr. Tran and her team are courtesy n very professional in caring n putting the needs of patients first, every step is explained,,,job well-done!! �

I’ve never given an online review before but the Smooth Dental Group earned one.  In the past I despised all dentist due to unpleasant past experiences. Also due to other dentist I had developed mistrust, paranoia, anxiety and suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder. Well finally I had to do it. My grill was a missing a few segments, gums sore protruding past my lips, & one tooth hanging by a thread. My wife forced me to make that call to Smooth Dental or she would leave me. Dr Tran squeezed me in that same Saturday and did some temporary painless magic (at no charge!!!) I’ve been going to Dr. Tran for over a year now. She and her staff are all GREAT. My wife still hasn’t left me, my dog now comes when I call him, my mental health is stable, my gums pink, my teeth are brilliant and my bank account still looks good. My life is good, and I owe it all to Dr. Tran & staff.

Got a laser treatment for deep cleaning and disinfecting of gums… It was pretty painless and fast… and mouth feels a lot healthier now.

Received great care as they are very patient and want to make sure you are comfortable. Was always anxious to go to the dentist before and they always try to alleviate and create a comfortable environment.

Smooth Dental has an amazing atmosphere that puts you completely at ease! Coming from someone who never went to the dentist out of fear this place is such a wonderful place to go. Dr. Tran is amazing and the staff is absolutely the nicest I have ever encountered. By far the best dental treatment I have ever received and everyone is really knowledgeable and open to questions! Can’t say enough good things about it!

I never thought that I wouldn’t absolutely dread going to the dentist. But Smooth Dental and the staff have definitely accomplish just that. They are extremely helpful and kind to their patients. Dr. Tran makes sure that you are in the most comfortable and pain-free environment the entire time. She is really good at reading her patients and adjusting to their needs.

I have had a few different procedures done over here now. Everything from just a cleaning to a root canal. And I couldn’t be more happy with my experience and results. Thank you so much Smooth Dental team! You guys are absolutely awesome at what you do! If I could give you guys more stars I would!

Really great expirence in this dental office! Dentist and staff make you feel like family and they showed me they really care about my wellbeing by providing me with information in how to better care for my teeth. Really recommend this place! Dr. Elizabeth and Richard are amazing! Really recommend them! ❤ I have not changed hygienist since Richard cared for my teeth. I can see Richard really loves his career, he goes above and beyond!

Time for another cleaning and l am so glad that it’s going to done here at Smooth Dental, everyone here is always super friendly and professional.  Dr. Tran really knows what she is doing and always makes sure I am comfortable.  I’ve had a great experience every time I’ve come here.  I’ve recommended this place to my friends and they’ve said the same thing too.

I got the fast braces recommended by Dr.Tran and within there week I have noticed my top teeth look straight already. Fast braces are a bit painful at times but it will hopefully only be for a few months compared to two years. I had braces before for two years and my teeth shifted back after they were taken off. I’m very thankful that the staff here (Jimmy, Larry, Richard and Dr. Tran) have taken the time to explain about fast braces and really care about the results.

Experienced dentists and amazing staff that do everything they can to make you feel comfortable and knowledgeable on what is being done to your teeth. They all share a passion for good dental hygiene and welcome you to be a part of their team to help you have the best and healthiest looking smile. I definitely recommend this place whether you’re looking for a new dentist or haven’t seen a dentist in years, Smooth Dental will take care of you!

I was dentist displaced until I found Smooth Dental Group a few years ago.  
I cannot express how elated I am with Dr. Tran and her entire staff!  
Even though I only go there twice a year, the staff always remembers me and brightens up with an excited and warm welcome when I arrive.  I feel bad sometimes because I can’t remember all their names . . . I think Keely, Larry, Jason, I want to say Judy? and  . . . hmmmm, ahhhh, can’t remember my favorite teeth cleaning persons name at this moment . . . I think there’s like 4 letters in her name . . . maybe starts with an E or T?  (Don’t judge me!)
I also love the fact that I have two offices to choose from because I am smack right dab in the middle of both of them.  So depending on my plans for the day, I can schedule at the office that makes the most sense.  
I even took my kids there “which is always a fun time at the dentist” right?  RIGHT!  I have teenagers and my daughter is an over dramatic person with the dentist and they work with her so well, she absolutely loves them!  Whew!  
When my son was soon to have his braces off, we scheduled his wisdom teeth removal through her offices.  (His orthodontist didn’t even tell us he had to have them removed.)  The specialist did such an amazing job; it was over in just a few minutes.  My son had no problems afterwards and didn’t swell like a chipmunk like my nephew did when he had his taken out somewhere else.  
I think my favorite thing about Smooth Dental is simply Dr. Tran and the Staff . . . it is nice that I see the same people visit after visit and not different people all the time.  To me that says they must love their job and be happy to work there.  Dr. Tran is really honest with me which is great because sometimes it’s not what you want to hear, it’s what you need to hear.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the work they do there too, and work I’ve had done so this is experience talking.  Between my Chippawaas and I, we have had cleanings, deep cleanings, cavity fills, crowns, wisdom teeth extractions, and I have also had a night guard and teeth cleaning tray made.  
My daughter will be due to have her wisdom teeth out within the next year, and after seeing the difference between my son and my nephew, I wouldn’t take her anywhere else.

Dr. Tran and her team are absolutely amazing! They do everything they can to make you feel comfortable and at ease. I am a big baby when it comes to the dentist and they made my visit the most pleasant visit ever. They explain everything that is going to happen and why, along with great aftercare procedures. Dr. Team even called to check up on me a few hours after I had left. She is so sweet. Best dental group in my book.

Took great care of me I had a whitening done in an hour the price was reasonable and they cleaned a few surface spots before doing the procedure.. I would recommend to anyone who is looking to do whitening or cleanings at a fair price…

I was recommended to Smooth Dental through a friend because of their excellent service. I needed my wisdom teeth pulled and was not thrilled about it, but Dr. Tran explained how the entire procedure would go and assured me everything would be fine. Because of her compassion and care, it calmed me down. I went ahead with the procedure and everything went so smoothly. It was so great that I had minimal swelling and was back at work doing all my normal activities the next day. Thank you to the wonderful staff and Dr. Tran for this amazing experience!

I’m very happy with everyone in the office, everyone is so friendly and caring, especially Dr. Tran, which is important because it makes you feel safe and it helps you trust them! They always want the best for all their patients and family. I came in thinking I was going to loose my teeth and Dr. Tran helped me so much! I would recommend everyone to go the dentist because it’s important to keep your teeth healthy! The office is so clean and it has a very good vibe!

I originally came to Smooth Dental for cleanings and cavity fills. During one of my appointments Dr.Tran gave me a free braces consultation and told me I’d be a great candidate for their fast braces treatment. Originally I wanted the clear aligners, Clear correct, but she strongly suggested fast braces because it’s cheaper and much faster! I started my treatment May 2019 and was basically done by March 2020 but then covid hit and everything got delayed. The whole staff is wonderful!

I had a filling fall out and was trying to find a place to fill it ASAP. I searched around for a few dentists in the area near my work, however everyone I called was booked up for a while. I found Smooth Dental Group and they were able to get me in within 30 minutes of noticing my filling was even gone. Immediately when I got there everyone greeted me with bright smiles and it remained that way the entire visit. The staff were very friendly and informative, as well as the facility was extremely clean. My dentist had a great personality and even called me later that day to make sure my tooth was feeling fine. The procedure of getting my filling redone was very quick and easy and my tooth feels better than ever! I will not only be coming back here because of the great work done on my teeth, but also because of how lively and helpful the staff was. Thank you for the great experience, see you soon!

Smooth Dental has been my number #1 choice for getting dental work done. They are very friendly and explain to you exactly about procedures and finance options. I find that really cool instead of high balling. Plus they have great staff. Thank you Smooth Dental

Dr. Tran has been my dentist for a few years now and the service I receive each and every visit has always been exceptional! Dr. Tran, along with the rest of her staff, is very friendly and they go out of their way for their patients. Recently, my grandmother who is 86 and wears dentures, came for a visit because she was having a hard time eating. My mother, who is also a patient, brought my grandmother to see Dr. Tran and Dr. Tran was more than helpful, but was honest and suggested my grandmother not get dentures. Dr. Tran suggested she not get the dentures, but just purchase additional glue because it would be a waste of money to get new dentures for my grandmother. I mention this incident because not many dentist or doctors are honest with their patients especially if there’s an opportunity to sell a product. I highly recommend coming to Smooth Dental!! It is the staff here at Smooth Dental that makes a visit to the dentist relaxing. Dr. Tran gets two thumbs up from a satisfied patient!

EMERGENCY VISIT!!!!!!!
I called the number they had posted online and it took me to an answering service, the lady advised me that the offices were just opening up and that they would give my information to the office and that they would call me back shortly.  I received a call about 5 minutes later, the young lady advised me that I could be seen immediately at the Santa Ana location. Once I arrived Dr Tran and the young lady I spoke to on the phone took me straight to the back ( first chair I sat in was a dental chair not a waiting room). From that moment on I felt I was in the right place. I expressed to Dr. Tran my extreme fear of going to the dentist because of all the pain I’ve experienced in the past.  Dr. Tran sympathized with me and informed me that if she couldn’t get the job done pain free then she would have her mentor come in and do it. I felt like I was in great hands with Dr Tran.  My surgical extraction went absolutely pain free. I can honestly say that my only fear of the dentist from here on out is paying whatever my insurance won’t cover.

I can honestly say this place was meant to be for me to go. I have been going through chemo therapy and it messed up my gums pretty badly. I knew it was time to get a dental check up. It is very hard to find a good dentist that will give you the proper treatment and not try to just cheat you for your money. So I went ahead and did my research. I came across Smooth Dental Group. I saw the good reviews so I decided to give it a try. First day for consultation I was a bit nervous because I had not been to the dentist for a while. But I felt very welcomed right away. Dr Tran was very informative and gave me the knowledge to know what is going on with my gums. She was a very nice person and sincere. I appreciate that very much. So on my next appointment I felt ready for my deap cleaning. I thought it was going to be Dr Tran to do this but she assigned me to Jenny (another hygienist). It was the first time meeting her and boy was I very pleased with her work. She did such an amazing job. Jenny was a compassionate person and I know she did all her best to clean my gums. My next appointment I got the other half of my mouth cleaned. I got good news, my gums are healing great! I was so happy when they told me that. I know I made the best choice coming to Smooth Dental. The staff who handles the front desk are nice girls. Ana has a good personality and gives me good advice. Joselyn is super friendly and chipper. 🙂 My next step in my treatment for cancer is radiation. Dr Tran is doing everything she can to heal my gums up before I go through this. She is not only concerned with my oral health but my whole health in general. She has a great staff that does an amazing job. Smooth Dental Group is a place with people who are consistent with keeping up with the health of your pearly whites. I recommend this place if you are looking for a great dentist.

Being a total dental-phobe I was definitely not looking forward to going to the dentist, never have ever since I was a child…but the pain was getting unbearable so I had to bite the bullet.  Upon arriving, I was pleasantly greeted by the super friendly staff and cool hi-tech gadgets they used! Ana and Emmeline made it very personable and eased my worries and made me feel much more comfortable that I was going to be taken good care of.  Dr. Tran was super knowledgeable and explained everything in detail so I knew exactly what I was getting done and why.  She was thorough and I can definitely see she had a high level of expertise as I didn’t feel a thing as she took care of my 3 cavities all in one shot!  Steve, who was also very personable and informative, then cleaned my teeth, didn’t feel a thing either, but the smooth & polished teeth afterwards! I’m just very impressed with the level of compassion and expertise this dental office exudes.  Highly recommend!

Smooth Dental is the best!

I’ve been to this office since I was a toddler and have been coming back ever since; All of my family members are pretty much clients here.

Dr. Tran and the rest of the staff really know how to take care of you, and the facility is up-to-date in regards to equipment, technology, and products.

I’ve had great experience here at Smooth Dental. The entire staff has been kind, considerate, and informative. They’ve done a great job of educating me about maintaining healthy teeth and gums. I’ve been happy with all of the treatment so far and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a dentist.

My parents and my husband and myself LOVE them! They are amazing and very caring and try to help you in every way…I wish we could keep going to them but we have to go to who our insurance is with…but I sure do miss them…not comfortable at our current dentist 🙁 I highly recommend Smooth Dental ❤️

I have been going to Dr.Tran for four years. The quality in service at this establishment comes from the professionalism, enthusiasm, and friendliness from the Smooth Dental team. Each staff member has made me feel welcome and has always carved out time during my visits to touch on educational/informative key points about each procedure/service. Smooth Dental is accommodating with scheduling, sends appointment reminders, pre-appointment inquiries on patient questions or concerns, and post-appointment follow ups to ask how the patient is feeling (after a service). I appreciate the effort and integrity each team member has and the way they make dental visits a breeze.
