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

Clay S. from Mission Viejo, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I have never felt so comfortable and cared for at a dental office. Dr. Mai Ly is hands down the best dentist I have ever been to. She is wonderful and very caring. Her entire staff is very professional, friendly, and provide the best care one could hope for. They take the time to get to know you so that you feel comfortable and safe. Their customer service is top notch, and I cannot recall a time in 4 years of going to Dr. Mai Ly where she has not followed up with me to see how I was doing immediately after a treatment. My entire family visits Ladera Dentistry because we are always in great hands here.

I absolutely love it here at Ladera dentistry. I have been working here for a year and a half with Dr Mai, and the team that I work with are amazing. I waited 10+ years to get my front teeth fixed. Dr Mai was able to place veneers on all my front teeth and they look amazing! I get compliments on them all the time. I show our patients the beautiful work as an example of Dr Mai’s craftsmanship!

★★★★★

My dentist, Dr. Mai Ly is the best! Professional, pro-active, considerate and flexible in accommodating appointments. Her office, Ladera Dentistry is open late during the work week and most Saturdays. I highly recommend Dr. mai Ly and her friendly and professional staff!

★★★★★

My 13 year old daughter is a happy girl. Why, you ask? Because Dr. Mai at Ladera Dentistry fixed her chipped tooth today and it looks incredible! She had been seeing a different dentist for the past 4 years since she originally chipped her two front teeth, and I must admit that Dr. Mai puts the former work to shame. Seriously, night and day! My self conscious 8th grade daughter is smiling pretty and beaming with joy! I imagine her selfies will probably triple over the next few weeks. Thank you, to all the staff who were extremely kind and to Teri, the office manager for being so helpful in working with us and making us feel so welcomed to your gorgeous office. It had such a soothing atmosphere and we could see clearly how much effort you put into making your patients feel comfortable! I highly recommend Ladera Dentistry for all of your dental needs!

I am so impressed with the customer service and genuine care of all the staff. I had a dental emergency and called in to see if I could possibly get help for a bad toothache. It was a Friday afternoon and I was in a lot of pain. The staff directed me to come in so I could get at least an evaluation and within a half hour the dentist had reviewed my X-rays and diagnosed the problem and was doing emergency surgery to treat the issue. I am so grateful and am so happy I found a dental office with such compassion, caring and professionalism. I will be recommending Ladera Dentistry to everyone I know. Thank U !!!!

★★★★★

My family and I have become new patients of Dr. Mai. We could not be happier with our experience at Ladera Dentistry. Super friendly staff. Extremely clean office. Dr Mai is great, she explains everything and makes you very comfortable. Even my three year old was at ease getting her teeth cleaned for the first time!

Ashley M. from East Los Angeles, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

This is hands-down the most professional and just overall excellent dental practice I have ever come across. Everything was just great, no complaints whatsoever. It’s very apparent that Dr. Mai cares about her patients and their comfort is their #1 priority. I’ve been a dental assistant but still feared dental treatment, its just always been a phobia of mine. But, I’m pretty sure Dr. Mai has cured that phobia, haha!

Anyways, I highly recommend coming in for a visit!

Fess S. from Rancho Santa Margarita, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

(…)I have been to many Dentists in the past and I can say without a doubt that these guys are true professionals. You can Trust them and that’s what I’m really fond of. I’m sure everyone has fear of dentists lol but they make it so much easier. Dr Mai and her team are awesome! She cares so much about every patient and even calls the following day after a tough procedure to check in on you. Yes, she calls herself. It really does show how much she cares. Thank you Ladera Dentistry with all my heart!

Jessica J. from Burbank, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr. Mai is the best dentist!. She’s  super sweet and nice. She’s very gentle with her hands and her whole staff is welcoming and warm. My whole family comes here. My hubby had an emergency and they were able to see him right away. How great is that? Dr. Mai explains everything that she’s going to do and has a wonderful ability to put you at ease.

The office is super clean, modern, and I adore the paper flowers decorations on the wall. I highly recommend her for any of your dental needs!

★★★★★

This is the best Dentistry I have been to. The staff here at Ladera Dentistry are all very friendly and nice. I am greeted with warm salutations and smiles as I arrive or depart the office. Dr. Mai has been very informative of what is happening with my gums and teeth. Also, she is very detailed with the procedures before performing. I feel very safe in Dr. Mai’s care. It is hard to find a good dentist that you feel safe with and I glad I have found one with Dr. Mai.

I recommend coming to Ladera Dentistry if you are trying to find great service and results for your dental care. I promise it will be worth the time to come in. They make sure your time there is spent wisely.

Dr Mai Ly and her staff at Ladera Dentistry are top notch. She’s super friendly and so incredibly attentive. I went to her based on the advice of a close friend. Couldn’t be more happier with results. During the whole procedure, she made sure I was comfortable and worked with extreme precision. Everyone is so personable there. I definitely would recommend her to anyone and am having my entire family go to her. You won’t be disappointed.

K. S. from Rancho Santa Margarita, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I have never been so excited to go to my dentist appointments,  I just love the results and knowing that I am taking care of my dental issues.  Dr Ly is so good at what she does. She and her staff always make sure that I am comfortable and have no pain.
I like that she is conservative in her treatments and always offers me choices.  I would recommend Dr Ly if you want to have a professional Dentist that is very knowledgeable and caring.

Erin T. from Anaheim, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Best dentist I’ve had yet.  Very personable and professional.  Dr. Ly and her staff make me feel like their only patient in the sense that my appointments are never rushed.  She takes her time and makes sure all my questions are answered.  My visits are always pain free. Staff is helpful and office is super clean and relaxing.  =D

Kristi O. from San Juan Capistrano, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I’ve waited for years for a dentist AND staff as good as Dr. Mai and her team.  They are punctual, professional and friendly.  Not to mention they’re first-rate.  Dr. Mai is honest about what needs done, and she doesn’t try and upsell you or say that you need a root canal if you don’t.  But if you did, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who’d do a better job.  Thank you Dr. Mai and team, you’re the best!

Lauren R. from Mission Viejo, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I went in for an Invisalign consultation and that same day I left with impressions completed and sent off to the lab. Within a couple of weeks I got a call to schedule my appointment to get my attachment placed so I can start my treatment.  They are very flexible with scheduling and accommodate my schedule. I’m currently 5/16 weeks into my treatment and had one of my attachment fall off and they got me in the same day to replace it. Both Dr. Mai and (partner dentist) are easy to talk to not to mention gentle  and I actually don’t mind going to the dentist now. The office and staff are so professional and it is very clean. I’m glad I found this office.

★★★★★

My 8 yr old son had major tooth pains one day, I called Dr Ly’s office and was told to come in right way. I came in and was greeted by a super friendly and professional front office admin. She showed us around the office, it’s very nice and clean. There’s a large tv to entertain the kids, coffee, tea and water!!
Dr Ly was very patient with my son. He asked her tons of question and she responded to all of them without scaring him off. That kind of patience with kids are extremely rare to find. She was willing to wait as long as it took for him to be ready for the procedure.
After all was done, my son easily agreed to come back in a few months for another visit!!
The entire staff is great!! I’ll definitely be making an appointment for myself and husband. I’ve already referred a few family and friends!!

Wonderful with children. Very patient and gentle with children! My twins came home with great advice and from the dentist on proper brushing, flossing, and rinsing! Thank you.

★★★★★

I never like and are afraid of dentist! But I had to get my teeth the proper health care it needs. So I wanted to try this place. It was awesome when I got there. Its not like any old dentist place I’ve tried! It SMELLS GOOD, not like other places, where you know its a dentist place. It felt like I was going to a spa, but for my teeth. The staff are very friendly, super helpful, and the best of all, they make you feel comfortable and relax. Dr. Mai Ly explains everything and gives details about the treatments. I love that she is gentle. I had bad experience with other dentist being rough while cleaning or filling my teeth. I recommend this place to all those who hate dentist or unhappy with theirs. I guarantee that you will walk out happy and feeling good about your teeth like I did!

I have been going to Ladera Dentistry since 2015, it has continued to be a wonderful experience. Most recently during a cavity fill visit, I felt so relieved to have the team take care of me. When I was close to passing out, as I am nervous in doctors offices around needles, blood, etc. Dr. Mai and her dental assistant, Julio, were incredibly gentle and proactive during my visit. When I was receiving my shots of Novocain, Julio was extremely proactive in keeping me alert while I was receiving the shots. I have a phobia with sight of needles, so Julio and Dr. Mai gave me sunglasses and continued to talk me through the procedure. I was so comfortable throughout the entire visit and I am sincerely thankful for their proactive and professional effort to provide excellent dental services with an anxious patient! Thanks to Dr. Mai and Julio, I was able to complete all of my procedure without passing out or postponing my visit. 🙂

I’m the biggest “Baby” when it comes to going to the dentist and I have very little threshold for pain. Yesterday I finally took the plunge and had my molars removed and Dr. Mai and her staff were not only patient with me but helped me feel comfortable at all times. I would highly recommend this dentistry especially for those who like me get a little nervous about going to the dentist. At Ladera Dentistry you will feel very comfortable. Thank you Dr. Mai, you and your staff are wonderful.

★★★★★

I am so happy to be Dr. Mai’s patient. From the moment you walk in the front door you are greeted by name from the friendly front office staff. My appointments are always on time or earlier. The hygienist are very attentive and gentle for some like me who doesn’t like to go to the dentist. After I had a crown put in I received a call from Dr. Mai herself asking how I was. Very professional and honest. Love this office and think I found the Dentist to keep. Also going to start my daughter in October.

Liz R. from Mission Viejo, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

It’s been a while since I’ve gone to the dentist, mostly because like a lot of people, I’ve had bad and painful experiences. My boyfriend found Ladera Dentistry and referred me- and I’m so glad he did! Finding a good doctor or dentist usually takes a lot of trial and error for most people. Everyone here was extremely friendly and reassuring from the moment I walked in to the moment I walked out. I really liked the fact that they have good availability in terms of appointments, everything is new and clean, and they offer little extras to make you feel comfortable. One of my big fears when going to the dentist is being told everything I’m doing wrong-but not once did anyone here make me feel embarrassed or ashamed! They explain everything thoroughly and have good medical devices that help the overall health of your mouth. I’ll definitely be coming here for years to come! Thanks Ladera Dentistry!

Elizabeth A. from Bloomington, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

This place has been so good to me since I’ve started a year ago! I wasn’t very great with dental hygiene before I came here and since I’ve started coming here, I noticed a difference in my teeth and I’ve noticed less pain and sensitivity and I’m so happy! They care so much for their patients and I definitely know I’m going to be a loyal patient. I don’t trust anyone else with my teeth! Thanks for everything, guys!

I hadn’t been to the dentist in several years and made an appointment with Dr. Ly at Ladera Dentistry.  Dr. Ly is not only a skilled dentist, but caring as well.  I can’t remember when I’ve had a dentist call me after business hours, checking to make sure that I was doing alright.  Her staff in the front office as well as the hygienists are all personable.  I loved the fact that I wasn’t referred to a specialist for certain procedures and that Dr. Ly could take care of the work in her office.  I am so happy to have found a wonderful dentist and would highly recommend her.

Dr Ly is great. My wife and I also take our three little boys aged 5, 4, 2 to Dr. Ly who does a wonderful job on the. They all allow her to take x-rays and do cleanings without any tears. She even was able to fix some cavities on the the eldest. To make it even better, my friends think Dr. Ly is totally beautiful.

★★★★★

Dr. Ly and her staff are great! Came in for a first time check up for my 16 month old daughter and a cleaning for myself. Waited no longer than 5-10 minutes before being seen. Dr. Ly was very gentle and sweet with my daughter. The dental hygienist was very personable and the cleaning was painless. Will be coming back for future check-ups.

★★★★★

I haven’t been to the dentist in years and I have to say this was one of the most peaceful and comfortable dentist experiences I have ever had. So much so I was almost able to take a nap! I got my teeth whitened by Dr. Ly and she made me feel right at home, asking if I was ok, making sure I was comfortable and talking me through everything. Thank you Mai! 

Andrea A. from Laguna Niguel, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr. Mai is absolutely wonderful! She knows exactly what is good for you and doesn’t over recommend anything. The staff is also very friendly and they make you feel welcomed. I am so pleased by everyone and the prices for everything is great. Julio is very patient and nice. Ericka the hygienist is also very helpful and made me realize how important it is to floss. I highly recommend this place, you won’t regret it! 🙂

Christina T. from Ladera Ranch, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr. Mai and her team are amazing! I have been coming here for 4 years and have had the best cleanings and exams. They always answer any questions I have (and I always have a lot lol) and always have great advice for keeping my teeth healthy. Dr. Mai is so knowledgeable and so friendly and even went above and beyond at my last cleaning trying to help me find an earring I had lost! She is top notch!

Jeannine M. from Coto de Caza, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Our family is relatively new to the area, and choosing the right dentist for our family is a big decision.  Thankfully we found Dr. Mai Ly’s Ladera Dentistry practice.  My experience with Dr. Mai and the entire staff has been wonderful.  I truly enjoy the professional and friendly service I receive at Dr. Mai’s practice, and I have subsequently brought my husband and our 3 children to Dr. Mai for their dental care. My husband and I underwent the “6 month smile process” and as a result, we now have the best smiles of our lives!  I look forward going to Dr. Mai’s office, and I really enjoy the personal service and opportunity to be on a first name basis with all the staff.  I highly recommend Dr. Mai’s practice for the whole family.

I have been a patient of Dr. Mai’s for several years and I highly recommend Ladera Dentistry. I was apprehensive my first visit, but the friendliness and professionalism of the office put me at ease. Patient comfort is a high priority and I like that. I have recommended Dr. Mai to a number of friends and family who were looking for a new dentist and they are all very happy with her easy-going manner, friendliness and quality of work. I feel very good about this recommendation.

★★★★★

Dr. Ly is more than just a fantastic dentist, but she truly cares about her patients. She’s honest and straight forward and I trust her recommendations. I once had to go to her for emergency toothache, they got me in quickly and fixed up. Her staff is great and just as caring so much that I have my family receiving all our dental care from her.

★★★★★

Honestly, this is the best dentist I’ve ever been too. The staff is extremely welcoming and do their very best to ensure patient comfort. Dr. Mai Ly goes over and beyond when it comes to providing quality care. I wish more dentists had her work ethic. My family and I will look no further as we have found the perfect dentist!

He made sure my oldest son had a good experience at their office. Makes my drive from Santa Ana to their office well worth it! I highly recommend this office and staff.
