Family Orthodontics & Oral Surgery
E. Dean Azzeh, DDS:
Practice Profile Page

Ooh boy, where do I start to describe Family Orthodontics. I had the best experience with them. I was referred to Dr. Dean by my dentist. I came in with an open bite. My front teeth would not close even biting all the way down. Also, bottom teeth were a mess. Started around March 2014 and now that my braces are off I still can’t believe how amazing they look. Just unbelievable work by Dr. Dean and his staff. I will attach a photo to see the amazing result! I can’t deny the fact it was a struggle at certain point since mini implants had to be used to move my jaw and bring my bite together. At first I was skeptical of mini implants and their effect, but continuing with them actually paid off. The only thing I won’t miss though haha! Besides the treatment I loved visiting the office because of how friendly and lovely the staff is. They make you feel like you are home. I will for sure miss them all. I can’t thank Dr. Dean and his staff enough. I would like to send a special thank you to Christina!

I read all the great reviews on Yelp before I came in so I thought I knew what to expect but I was still blown away the moment I walked into the office. When I went for a consultation I was really satisfied with how I was treated, from beginning to end. Every person who worked at the office was great. They took my pictures/xrays then had me sit back down in the room to wait for Dr. Dean. I waited for a few minutes and was apologized to because they were a little backed up and thought I was waiting for a long time. Dr. Dean was thorough with his diagnosis and was very professional. He gave me all of my options (without shooting down what I originally came into the office for), showed me examples of previous patients, and wasn’t pushy with going one way or the other. I was the one who ultimately made the decision with how to move forward without feeling any pressure, which was great! Fast forward to a couple months later and I now have Invisalign (it’s been 2 days now). Getting started was super smooth. Christina, the Registered Dental Assistant, was the one who got the process going and she was great. She made me feel super comfortable while she was attaching the attachments on my teeth, she was funny, and extremely thorough with what I need to do moving forward (I wish she wrote the instructions manual because she went into much more detail than the book did). In short, I would recommend anyone to this office if they’re looking for orthodontic services!

What makes this office stand out from other orthodontic offices are not only their work, but how the staff makes you feel so welcomed from the front office to the back staff, especially Dr. Dean! From the beginning of treatment to the very end. You’re always welcomed back even after treatment! Office is immaculate, staff is friendly beyond belief and you just feel like family there!! You can feel that they genuinely care, everyone is willing to answer what ever questions you may have and that’s only fair because when selecting an Ortho office it’s only natural you’re going to have tons of questions, that’s not a problem here. All of the assistants are knowledgeable and very well trained. I’d recommend completely! If you’re doing research on an office, please give this office a chance and meet everyone! You will not regret it!

No need to look any further for the BEST Orthodontist in town! From the moment you walk into the office, you will know your in the right place. The office is fun and pristine, the staff is attentive and friendly and Dr. Dean is professional and highly educated! They offer 3 different locations and the hours of operation can accommodate anyone’s busy schedule. Choosing an Orthodontist is a important discussion to make but after visiting Family Orthodontics you will see why they are the best in theOC!

One of the cosiest places to go to! Most people have a deathly fear of going to any professional medical location, despite their health depending on it. I have friends upon friends that fear dentist check ups, doctor examinations, and so on. Family Orthodontics lives up to its name, with a warm and welcoming staff, complimentary sweets (typically coffee or cocoa), fun raffles, and very attentive and caring orthodontic nurses. I’ll happily recommend my friends to come to Dr. Dean for a better smile

I chose to get my braces treatment here because of several reasons, the service, cleanliness, and the Doctor really knows his stuff. The environment here is not off putting which matters because it determines whether or not you’d want the service. The consultation was very efficient. The new machines really sped up the process. During the financial consult, I spoke to Bryson and he was the most welcoming person ever! He made the transition from the initial braces consult, to sealing the deal, in a very smooth manner. I appreciate that so much. If you’re skeptical about most orthodontists, you would not be if you chose this place.

There are so many dentists/ orthodontists in the southern california area. How do you decide who the one is for you? I refer specifically to Dr. Dean for multiple reasons. Number 1 he knows whats he is doing. Board certified, and post grad at Harvard. Not all ortho education is the same. This man is dedicated to make sure he is up on current research. Laymen may not know this, but he runs a study club that helps educate half the dentists in the orange county area. Not only does he make sure he is up to date for his own sake, he is also committed to making sure the dentists in the area are furthering their own knowledge. Can only be a good thing for the people in this area right? Number 2 – patients love him and his team. I have never had some one come back to me disappointed by their appointment with him. No gimmicks needed, he genuinely treats everyone well. And I hear about it. Patients often make a point to thank me for sending them there. This is very important to me, anyone i refer to is a reflection of me. I personally put so much effort in to making sure that every one is treated well. NUmber 3 – he does what is right. Every patient is given a fair and honest assessment of their situation. So if you’re trying to make a decision regarding who to see for ortho, check him out. You will not be disappointed. I may go through braces again just so I can visit his office 🙂

Love the brand new facility in Tustin. It’s super clean and spacious. The doctors are great and very knowledgeable and professional. My friend had her smile done here with Dr. Dean and I can’t wait to see mine. The Oral surgeon, Dr. Hassan, is very skilled , personable and talented. They are reasonably priced and fair with their pricing and promptly reply to inquiries. I’ve done my research and they are one of the very few that open all week including Saturdays. I like how much emphasis they have placed on safety. I feel safe and comfortable when I come here. They take patients’ temperatures on arrival and have decals placed in the office and limit the number of people they let into the office. The staff is friendly and still able to be on time during these times. I can’t recommend this place enough!

I have been with Dr, Dean and his staff for over two years, and I absolutely loved every minute of it. I felt apart of his dental family, because he and the staff would greet me with a smile. They would also ask me about my day and high school, which made the appointments more comfortable, especially when they were tightening my braces. Dr. Dean is honestly the best orthodontist there is! Before I met Dr. Dean and his team, my teeth were beyond ugly and messy, and I was self-conscious about them. Finally, when I met with Dr. Dean for the first time, I was nervous because I thought he would be disgusted, but instead he treated me with respect and with ease. He made me feel less ashamed of my smile by promising me the perfect smile. After two and a half years of braces and rubber bands, I finally got them off before my senior ID pictures!!! I AM IN LOVE WITH MY SMILE! One of the best part of my final days of my braces was that Dr. Dean, my mom, and I were reviewing my dental journey, from freshman year to senior year, and he would make funny jokes about using my freshman pictures as blackmail. In the end, I enjoyed every moment with Dr. Dean and his family. This is the PERFECT place if you want to be apart of a dental family, be respected, be treated fairly, be comfortable, and most importantly, have the PERFECT smile!Thank You Dr. Dean!

Dr Dean, Sabrina, Sarah, Trinda, Debbie  Angie and the WHOLE team at Family Ortho are amazing !! Not only are they a pleasure to be around, their service is TOP NOTCH. I am 35 and thought my dental work was hopeless. In the span of about a year the results are AMAZING !! I still have a year to go but I know due to Family Ortho and the team there, the results will be fantastic. If you want GREAT ortho work with the added benefit of being treated like family, come to this place, you won’t regret it! Update:Just have to add that the level of work and professionalism of the Dr and group here is great. There was a lot of work that had to be doe to my teeth and they are coming out looking great Update:2. These guys are still great. My teeth are looking great and the family feel and customer service is beyond amazing. Thank you all and Happy New Year Final Update:  Braces are off and I could not be anymore pleased with the results. I would like to add that Dr Dean is a perfectionist and will not leave your teeth half done. Even if you feel they look great, he will go for perfection. Throughout the years this office has never lost its fun or professionalism, and I am sad to say I will not come in with frequency since the braces are off. They truly do become like family and are genuinely interested in your well being. Thank you Dr Dean, Trinda and the rest of the staff !
