PATIENT REVIEWS

Check out what some of our happy patients are saying about us:

★★★★★

Can we talk about how much I love coming to the dentist since coming to Center Plaza Dentistry and how everyonee in my family and even some friends come here now. Who knew how much having an awesome experience at the dentist would make all the difference! When you walk in your most likely to be greeted by the lovely receptionist, Ailey! She runs a tight ship and gets stuff done. She’s always on top of the appointments, billing, insurance, and sooo much more. Definitely apart of the strong back bone. Then you have a few dental technicians all of which are amazing, helpful, and always greets you with a smile ( even with a mask on I know their smiling haha) Lastly you have Dr. Hofkes and his AMAZING wife Dr. Yin, husband and wife dental team!!! They have so much knowledge, understanding, and advice. I never feel like I’m “being sold to” or like they pressure me into unneeded services. They always take time to listen to my concerns and even jokes haha. Even with this pandemic they have made sure all my needs are met. I’m even getting my Invisalign with them and have loved every minute of it ( yes I love my adult braces ) Over all I love coming here and they make me and my people feel like family. High recommendations, the latest technology, happy, clean, and safe environment!

★★★★★

First off, I absolutely LOATHE dentists. I’ve never had a good experience, not until today!
I love to step into any place of business and see a beautiful place, this exceeded my expectations. It was pristine! The receptionist was friendly and accommodating. She even let me use her computer to login to pay my provider with carecredit. I had been talking to a close friend of mine (Yesenia) about needing a dentist and about all my previous horror stories. She convinced me to come in and talked up this place. Thank you Yesenia for introducing me, you were right and I’m just so glad and grateful. Leslie treated me like she knew me and made sure I was comfortable. She saw me fidgeting (anxiety) and got me a stress ball. I needed a little but of a distraction to keep me calm and so, she put on Netflix and got me some ear phones. The worst part of this whole experience was watching John Mulaney and not being able to laugh. Did I mention I drove an hour to get here? And I’m gonna keep doing it because I’m never going anywhere else, EVER! Dr. Hofkes was so polite and let me know everything he saw currently, problems to look out for in the future, he was gentle and kind. He made sure I felt no pain and it was quick. 2 hours, in and out for a whole exam and 2 fillings. Bonus, he’s really nice to look at. Everything and everyone here was just the best!! I got nothing bad to say. Oh! Sorry Doc, I know I kept freaking you out when I was laughing, I’m pretty sure my “haha” and “ouch!!” Face aren’t that different when my mouth is full of gauze and  ya got your hands all up in there. I tried not to laugh just to keep from confusing you lol

★★★★★

When it comes to tooth-care it’s not on the top of my priority list. I’m a wimp at keeping my mouth open due to my TMJ and always leave the dentist with swollen gums and in more pain than before going in. I decided to take a chance with Dr Yin and I couldn’t have been happier. The whole staff was so nice and helpful. The office was beautiful and really made me feel comfortable. Even their dental equipment was up with the current technology so it made me feel like this was a less intrusive process. My pain level was always top priority and they were very mindful on giving me breaks or if I needed additional numbing they would assist with that. I was so impressed I decided to have my husband and my toddler visit as well. Dr Hofkes helped my husband with his hockey smile and Dr Vivian was so gentle with our toddler and really tried to make him comfortable with his first dental visit. I appreciate everything the doctors and staff have done for my family and highly recommend Center Plaza Dentistry for your family as well.

★★★★★

Dr. Yin and the entire team at Center Plaza are amazing!! The staff is extremely friendly and very professional. They have the most up to date equipment and keep their office clean I will be definitely be coming back for all my dental needs.

★★★★★

I was frantically searching for someone somewhat closed in my area and have good reviews to look at my EXTREMELY energetic little man’s trauma tooth. Dr. Yin was AMAZING! She was able to get him to COOPERATED throughout whole process which NONE of us was able to at his previous dentist. It’s about two months now his tooth is doing much better than expected; Not turning darker. Thank you Dr. Yin! Your caring demeanor put this panic mother at ease. And KUDOS to your staff for being patience with my son as well! I will be returning to your office for mine soon!

★★★★★

All of my experiences here with Dr. Yin and her staff members have been consistently amazing! The staff members are very friendly from the receptionist to the dental hygienists. Dr. Yin herself is extremely kind, sweet and always take the time to explain the what’s and why’s so I never left her office not knowing what was done to my teeth. I also always left her office feeling like my teeth just got the best massage! There is no doubt that she is very knowledgeable and gentle with her patients. One time I came to her office for teeth cleaning and mentioned that my jaw started to hurt when I open my mouth for a week and after her examination, she made a mouth guard for me which fixed the problem! I was not only very impressed with her ability to quickly find out what the diagnosis was, but also to involve me in my own care and gave me options, which she suggested I do the least invasive method first. I find it rare when I see a dentist really care about their patients’ teeth and Dr. Yin is that rare dentist you don’t come across often. She always goes in elbows deep from start to end, doing steps A-Z while pausing and making sure everything is okay, which shows me how grounded of a dentist she is. My best friend recommended me to her and I am very glad she did so because she’s probably the only dentist that I’ve ever gone through where I’m more consistent with the after care such as being more proactive with flossing! Thank you Dr. Yin and all the staff members!! You are all amazing!!

What a pleasure it is to recommend Center Plaza Dentistry, the office is a beautiful, clean, orderly practice with the latest technology in Dentistry Medicine and convenient to my house. I first met Dr Yin(April 2018) when I craked a previously filled wisdom tooth back in April/2018. My family and I had moved into this area of Los Alamitos in 2016 and at this time I was still driving 17 miles north for continued visits with my previous Dentist until he retired at the end of 2017. A very worrisome position to be in when you have been with the same Dentist for almost 20 yrs. Needless to say, having to find a new dentist was a huge concern for me since I’ve had a very complicated and difficult Dental history that stems back and started when I was hit by a car with Orthodontic braces that became embedded in my gums with multiple soft tissue trauma. Many corrective and uncomfortable procedure followed throughout those hours, days, wks and years and almost 30 years later, I still have an overall aversion and anxiety of Dental work in general.  I made an appointment and went in just a few days after. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist who had all my paperwork necessary on a clipboard ready for me to fill out and kindly offered me water or something else to drink. A pleasant dental hygienist then introduced herself and explained to me the process of a panoramic Xray and then few more Digital Xrays that focus on the detailed of each tooth, an exam by Dr. Yin after all these diagnostics. I then met the Dentist, a very soft-spoken, beautiful smile (Dr. Yin) who introduced herself and with her full attention gave me the time I needed to explain my chapters of Dental Trauma/history and my current and urgent need. Very kindly reassured me what would follow, a full detail health intake with options of treatment that were explained all along the way as it was being done and my options moving forward. After all, was said and done on my first visit, I felt very comfortable with Dr Yin’s professionalism, she was patient, kind and caring. She gave me options and was respectful towards my budget at the time, offered me the Center Plaza In house insurance (which I was glad to sign up for) since I didn’t have any Dental Health Insurance and the ability to do my dental work at my pace and schedule. This made me trust her very easily and I knew I had found my future Dentist. I scheduled my procedure early am as I needed to go pick up my daughter from school at 3 pm and were very accommodating. Dr Yin was very relaxed in her work as she did my procedure which gave me peace of mind, she has a very gentle hand, I felt minimal to no discomfort. It was even followed up by a phone call the next day to make sure I was ok and not in any discomfort. Since this visit, I have been here several times and don’t DREAD going to the dentist. I am so Happy with Dr. Yin. I can’t say enough about what a change(and a relief) it is to have good dentist. Not only do they genuinely care about their patients and their lives, their families, current health problems that may be getting in the way of coming in, they care about their staff too and that comes across in the whole dynamics of the quality of care given and you can see that when you come in. I always smile walking into their office knowing my teeth are in the best care.

★★★★★

Dr. Yin and her staff are all WONDERFUL. I have not had much luck with finding a caring and compassionate dentist until I found Center Plaza Dentistry. Dr. Yin deeply cares about her patients and their overall wellbeing.  Dr. Yin has angelic hands and will make your visit as comforting as possible. As soon as you walk in the door to the minute you walk out- you will be treated like you are part of the family! I highly recommend Center Plaza Dentistry!

★★★★★

Wow! What a great dental office. By far the cleanest and most up to date office I’ve ever been to. Dr. Yin was great! She thoroughly answered all my concerns and questions about my teeth and at the end appointment my teeth were feeling sparkly clean. No hassles, no waiting on the chair…I was attended to right when I got to the office. Definitely going back for my future procedures and definitely recommending this dental office to others

★★★★★

Great Experience! had my exam and cleaning here with Dr. Yin. She was very nice and the staff was very professional. Their beautiful office was really welcoming and the rooms were non claustrophobic and spacious. looking forward to my 6 mo cleaning back here!

Since my grandma loved it so much, I decided to go back and get some work done. I had been lagging a long time because of my pregnancy and nursing. I was so worried that I’d need a root canal or something because I waited over a year. Turns out I had nothing to worry about. I got a cleaning and two fillings, and to my amazement, it didn’t even hurt. Dr. Yin is very gentle. They even turned on a movie for me so I wouldn’t get bored. When I left the office, I couldn’t believe how white my teeth were from the cleaning. I feel a little embarrassed that I was walking around with yellow teeth for so long. I will definitely come back every 6 months to maintain my pearly whites. It’s been a couple of weeks, and my fillings still feel great. Super balanced and no issues at all. Love this place. In fact I love it so much that I’m going to get my Invisalign done with them.

★★★★★

I just switched dentist today and boy, am I glad I did. From the first call to schedule an appointment to the dental exam itself, I received nothing less than excellent service. The entire staff at Central Plaza Dentistry are friendly, professional, and caring. The receptionist, Ailey looked up my insurance coverage and explained my benefits to me before I arrived. Dr. Yin conducted the most thorough dental exam I’ve ever received. She explained the entire process to me before she started screening for cavities and oral cancer. They used the newest technology to take photographs and xrays of my teeth. Both Dr. Yin and her assistant Lesley were gentle and made me very comfortable at a very step. The office itself is immaculate and has a relaxing vibe. I live 40 miles away but I don’t mind making the drive because they are that awesome. I highly recommend this team!

★★★★★

I’m a new patient at Center Plaza Dentistry and I am very happy with the practice overall! The whole staff is wonderful, from the friendly receptionists and beyond. Dr. Yin is very personable and knowledgable and made sure I was fully informed about the procedure to be done. Yesenia, her dental assistant made sure that I was comfortable and is also very good at what she does too! They are very thorough here and have high-tech gadgets and the office is very clean. I would highly recommend this practice and Dr. Yin to my friends and family.

★★★★★

First of all I want to start off saying most of my life I have not been a big fan of the dentist. However,  Center Plaza Dentistry has helped change that. Their offices are absolutely gorgeous and the staff is wonderful. Dr. Yin has been great, she is patient and explains everything thoroughly so you know what is going on at all times. She has made me feel comfortable and helped get rid of any of that “dental anxiety” a lot of people suffer from. I highly recommend Dr. Yin to anyone looking for an excellent dentist that will work to help you get your best smile.

★★★★★

Excellent service! I called because I chipped my front tooth and my regular dentist was closed that day.  This place was near my work and had good reviews so I decided to give them a try. They were able to get me in the same day.  When I walked into the office, I was amazed at how pretty and new everything is!  I saw Dr Yin, she was really nice and friendly, and she made me feel really comfortable. She was very thorough and explained everything to me, she even offered to fix my tooth the same day! I was so happy they were able to help me right away, i didn’t even want to leave the house with my tooth looking messed up.  The procedure went well, I barely even felt the shot.  She was really gentle, and kept asking me if I was ok during the procedure.  I left the office with my tooth looking good as new, Thank you so much Dr Yin!  I will definitely be back to this office in future!

★★★★★

Ok doky. If you are looking for a dentist or just plain unhappy with your current one, you really need to check this place out. They are very accommodating, careful, and professional. Within the first 5 minutes of walking in I was greeted by EVERY associate that crossed my path and each and everyone of them offered me water or some beverage. My doctor was Dr. Yin and she was straight awesome. Frequently asked if I had any discomfort and was super friendly. Again I recommend this place completely.

My husband now sees Dr. Hofkes (her husband) and is extremely comfortable too with the integrity of his work and also signed up for the in house insurance which has put both of us on a consistent schedule for our cleanings twice a year, a sure guarantee way to maintaining good dental health. We both have detailed plans (page pictured of MY plan of action) which are fantastic, as I know I can’t remember every single thing that was said sometimes on what tooth and my husband also has his which is so easy to revert back to for consistency. That was given to us after our first visit and keeps us on track as to what needs to be done/corrected and besides coming in twice a year for our cleanings, we schedule all the other work between those time frames at our pace for the current recommended treatment needed. I am so Happy with Dr. Yin. I can’t say enough about what a change(and a relief) it is to have good dentist.

I came in because I cracked my front tooth in an accident. When I first walked in I felt so welcomed. The office is gorgeous and spotless and the staff is amazing. The office manager checked me in and made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole procedure. She answered all my questions and was very professional. Dr. Yin is an absolute angel! She explained everything thoroughly, made sure I was ok the whole time, and was so gentle and kind. She really cares about her patients. I literally cried tears of happiness when the procedure was done, she helped me get my smile back. I have never met a dentist as great as her! Highly recommend! The dental assistant was also very sweet and attentive. They have up-to-date technology making the whole dental experience 10 times better than other offices.

★★★★★

Dr. Yin, Dr. Hofkes snd their amazing staff are some of my favorite people ever. I genuinely look forward to my visits! Let me start off with the office- it’s very clean and so bright and airy! The receptionist, Ailey, is a gem. She is so sweet, she works fast, very communicative and is so on top of it. I’m so impressed by her. The hygienists and dental assistants are so welcoming and so gentle with their tools. Comfort is one of their top priorities. Dr. Hofkes and Dr. Yin are simply the best. They’re both compassionate about what they do and they truly care about their patients. I needed some fillings and Dr. Hofkes was so awesome and understanding of my fear of dental work. He was so cool and made me feel so comfortable. Dr. Yin did my Invisalign and I cannot say enough great things about my experience. She talked me through the entire process to make sure it was the right move for me. She was so detailed that I didn’t have any questions at my consultation. After 3 months of Invisalign, I have never been happier with my smile. I can’t stop smiling and I’m so happy! THANK YOU Center Plaza Dentistry for taking such good care of me. You guys are the best!

★★★★★

Been to a lot of dentistry due to always having to move from one location to another but this one is by far the best in terms of staff, location, cleanliness and dentist. I can not praise Dr Yin & Dr Hofkes enough. They are patient with my many questions, helpful in dealing with my anxiety over going to the dentist and very knowledgeable in their field. I am always asking them for their expertise and advice. Highly recommended them to family and friends.

★★★★★

I’ve always felt like there are 3 areas of expertise where I want to find someone who I can trust.  A good mechanic, a good physician, and last but not least a good dentist. Luckily for me, at Center Plaza Dentistry, I’ve found 2 dentist!  Dr. Hofkes and Dr. Yin.  I could tell that they place the patients’ health and comfort high on their priority list which extremely important to me.  Especially when it comes to my teeth.  They take the time to ensure I understand everything that will be performed and are very patient with me.  I’ve had a lot of work done on my teeth in my younger years which can present interesting challenges to some dentist.  I have a permanent metal bar that acts as a retainer on the inside of my bottom row of teeth.  As you can imagine, food gets stuck there very easily causing lots of buildup.  I try my best to keep it clean but there’s so much you can do with home equipment.  Past dentist have had a difficult time trying to clean around my retainer bar but not here.  My mouth and teeth feel so clean when I’m finished here. I’ve had 9 teeth removed in total in my early teen years so you can say going to the dentist can be a little traumatic for me.  Dr. Hofkes and Dr. Yin always do what they can to make sure I am comfortable and relaxed. As far as facilities and support staff goes, I have to reiterate what some of the other reviewers have stated.  This place is state-of-the-art and a very friendly staff.

I recently started work at a new company that gave me dental Insurance. We had a health fair and center plaza dentistry was one of the vendors that participated. After speaking to them, I found out that they are in network with my insurance and right down the street from my work. Also they are taking in new clients! I did some research and their customer reviews were great so I decided to go in for my yearly check up before the year ends. From my first encounter with them at the health fair they were super nice so great first impression. When I called in to make an appointment, the receptionist was super friendly and very very accommodating to my schedule. I got an appointment at the time of my choice 🙂 She sent me the paper forms to fill out so that when I come in for my appointment, I’ll already have it ready. Also, she checked my insurance over the phone too :)finally we got to the teeth cleaning, she was very gentle and always told me to let her know if anything is bothering me or felt uncomfortable. She always tried to wipe off any water that landed on my face. And the thing that really surprised me was dr. Yin did all the cleaning, like from getting all the stains and gunk between my teeth all the way to the flossing at the very end. Other dentists I’ve been to would have their assistants do all the other stuff. But she was so thorough with my teeth the whole time I was there. Both her and the assistant did an amazing job! The receptionist at the end gave me my free gift as my first visit while their promotion was going on and scheduled me for my next appointment which is in May but she said if I can’t at that time then feel free to let her know in the future. Overall I loved loved loved my experience here and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend. They really care for their patients and the health of their teeth 🙂

★★★★★

Dr. Yin and her staff are awesome! My family has been coming here for the past year and each time we are treated with respect and kindness. The facility is clean, bright, and has a nice ambiance. Dr. Yin is has a gentle touch, is great at explaining every detail, and uses modern technology in her practice for the best treatment. Highly recommend Center Plaza Dentistry!

★★★★★

Folks, your search for a good dental office ends here… I have been treated by both Dr. Hofkes and Dr. Yin. Never in my life have I looked forward to a dental appointment until my family and I found Center Plaza Dentistry. Yes, I actually did say that I looked forward to my dentist appointments. I’ve had issues with my teeth that cascaded into more problems. Ailey, who works the front office is very helpful in setting up your appointments and going over your plan of care and answering any questions you may have. I was blessed to have been seen by Dr. Hofkes and Dr. Yin. Their patient care is superb! They explain everything to you very clearly and ensures that you are comfortable during every procedure. They also have what many dentists from my experience lack, “human touch” The staff’s excellence in their professional care and knowledge reflects upon their love and dedication for treating patients and families. This is what Center Plaza Dentistry represents.

★★★★★

I’m a new patient at Center Plaza Dentistry and I am very happy with the practice overall! The whole staff is wonderful, from the friendly receptionists and beyond. Dr. Yin is very personable and knowledgable and made sure I was fully informed about the procedure to be done. Yesenia, her dental assistant made sure that I was comfortable and is also very good at what she does too! They are very thorough here and have high-tech gadgets and the office is very clean. I would highly recommend this practice and Dr. Yin to my friends and family.

★★★★★

I got to meet and chat with both Dr. Yin and Dr. Hofkes. I did not feel rushed, pressured, uncertain, or anxious about getting my dental procedure done. It was smooth going and pretty much a painless procedure (I had get two injections to get numb and that was the only discomfort I had).

★★★★★

Dr. Yin and Dr. Hofkes were both so caring and professional. I have been to countless other dentist and was always over charged, but not at Center Plaza Dentistry. They were fair and always went over the pricing in a way any lay person could understand. The best part was that during the whole procedure they were making sure my comfort was a priority. I have recommended this location to countless family members and they have all been so happy with their visits.

★★★★★

I moved to Seal Beach a few years ago from Michigan. Since the move, I’ve been so busy getting situated into the west coast that I’ve neglected finding a new dentist. Maybe I just used moving as an excuse to not find a dentist because I don’t like going to one. But turns out, the reason I didn’t like going to one was because my dentist back home was horrible. Sometimes you don’t know that something is wrong until you’ve had something better to compare it to. In this case, I’ve compared it to Dr. Yin from center plaza dentistry and she has definitely set the bar. I found this place randomly because I like going to the bagel shop next door. I looked it up and saw that it had some good reviews. I walked over there with my bagel to check it out. The receptionist was so nice and Dr. Yin came out to introduce herself and give me a tour of the office. WOW- nicest dental office I’ve ever been to. Very modern but not pretentious is how I would describe it. Fast forward to my appointment date. She gave me a very thorough exam. She even checked my gum pockets before telling me that I had healthy gums but needed to focus on the back when flossing and brushing because pockets were a little deeper there. I also had two cavities which she took pictures of to show me and they were clear as day. My other dentist has never checked my gum pockets before but I was somehow told that I needed a deep cleaning. He never showed me X-rays and pictures and I was supposed to just take his word for it. Which I always did because I thought that was normal. Dr. Yin gave me a regular cleaning that made my teeth feel even cleaner than the deep cleanings that I had to pay a shit ton for. The fillings were done the following week. No pain and I watched Netflix during the procedure. They give you headphones to attach to the chair and you get to keep the headphones after your appointment. No wait time and free parking. I highly recommend this office! Best dental experience ever

★★★★★

My second time back at Center Plaza and decided to get my Invisialign with them from my first visit. Absolutely awesome. Dr. Vivian Yi was gentle, patient, and explained the entire process and procedure like a pro. Very accommodating staff and gracious in helping me understand my benefits information and what to expect. I can’t recommend them enough!

★★★★★

This is my favorite dentistry that I’ve ever visited. I’m so glad I found Center Plaza Dentistry because it is close to work and everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I’ve been there three times within the past year for my annual check ups and mid year teeth cleaning. I used to hate going to the dentist but every time I come in for a visit it is always a pleasant time. The receptionist is very sweet and she always asks me how I’m doing and if I would like anything to drink while I wait. The wait is never long either. The assistants are always professional and nice, they take my x rays and set me up for the doctor. Dr. Vivian Yin is amazing. I can finally say I kind of like going to the dentist now because of her. She is very sweet and extremely gentle. She always checks if I’m doing okay as she cleans my teeth. Also, she is very informative on any updates on the health of my teeth and gums. I always feel so fresh after she’s done. Also, the assistants always do a great job with polishing and flossing. You can tell they get every teeth and take their time and not just rush through it. At the end of my visit, I always get a nice goodie bag with toothpaste, floss, and tooth brush!  My recent visit, I shared with the doctor that I will be taking a trip soon with family and she was nice enough to pack some extra toothpaste, toothbrushes! They also have brush head in their restrooms! Lastly, I love that they remind me by email and text message for my upcoming appointments. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend Center Plaza Dentistry. I do not think I’ll ever switch to another dentistry 🙂
