PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr. Vicky Nugyen is simply the best dentist that I have ever had. I highly recommend her. She’s very personable, professional and thorough.  She provides a true examination of your dental status. Additionally, her suggestions save costs as she is more concerned with providing the best for her patients which creates an easy transition into long-term patient sustainability.

My entire experience with Long Beach Smiles was wonderful. I’ve never been so comfortable and at ease at my first appointment with a dentist. The entire staff rocks, and Dr. Nguyen is so cool rolling around the office in her skinny jeans and chucks! They were kind, laid back, considerate and explained everything (including what my insurance would cover and for how much) all before they actually did any procedures! It was so nice not being pressured into paying for anything I didn’t need. Seriously, if you’re looking for a dentist, or just want to get your teeth cleaned and have some rad conversations with interesting people while doing it, this is your place!!

As a new patient, I was thoroughly impressed with the immaculate office, modern equipment and, most importantly, the kind and dedicated staff. Dr. Nguyen took the time to explain what and why she was doing something, and she didn’t even scold too badly when I told her I don’t floss (she just explained why I should)! Thanks, Long Beach Smiles, I’ll see you in 6 months!

Thank you LB Smiles for always taking care of my families dental needs. This facility is always clean and sterilized which is extremely important when dealing with your dental health. Salute to this wonderful group of employees and excellent lead doctor. If your looking for a great Dentist for all your complete needs, please join the LB Smiles Dentistry Family.

Alright here is an update. Long beach smiles won me over. Their manager Joanne called me a few hours after my first visit and apologized for the inconvenience and miscommunication on their part. They offered my a free exam, cleaning and bleaching trays for the trouble I went through. I walked in and was greeted by Dr Victoria Nguyen she was super friendly and took care of me and also apologized. The deal closer was the dental hygienist Mary, she was very sweet and did a fantastic job on my cleaning. She took the time explain my oral hygiene to me and what I should be doing better. Changing insurance in June coming back and brining the family!

I love coming here! I have seen many new faces working at this office over the years but the quality of care and customer service has never changed; always excellent! Unfortunately I no longer live in Long Beach (22 mi away ) but I have no problem driving or taking a day off work to continue visiting my friends at Long Beach Smiles. Everyone here is so kind, the facility is sparkling clean, and I am always satisfied with my treatment. I’ve never had a bad experience here. Thank you Long Beach Smiles Team, I appreciate you!

I have been going to long beach dentistry for the past couple years and I will continue to go back. I have done everything from a deep cleaning to invisalign and I can’t be happier. The doctor set me up with affordable monthly payments, I can’t ask for better. I really recommend this place for any type of dental work.. They really put a smile on my face.

I hadn’t looked for a dentist in Long Beach ever since I moved a couple years ago and after doing some careful research I decided to take my chance with this dentistry. I was able to make an appointment same day yesterday so that was already a plus to begin with. It’s located in a nice area and the office looks very nice and clean inside. The equipment in the office is all state of the art. I came in for an exam and deep cleaning. I even set up a root canal appointment and all this was done effortlessly as the staff here are very friendly and helpful in ensuring you have as great as an experience as possible at a dentist office. If you live in the Long Beach area I highly suggest checking this dentistry out. They are fairly new as they just opened in April 2014 but they definitely know what they are doing. I’m glad to say this will be my new dentist from now on!

I was recently on vacation in California when I began experiencing an extremely painful tooth ache. I called and set an appointment with Dr. Victoria Nguyen based upon a recommendation I had from the family I was staying with. I was extremely pleased with how pleasant and knowledgeable the office staff was. Dr. Nguyen did an amazing job at making me at ease in an environment which is normally very uncomfortable for me. Since it had been so long since I had visited the dentist (hence the tooth ache) she immediately noticed that I needed 3 cavities filled in addition to a deep cleaning. One request that I had for her was to not numb my tongue since I have had difficulties swallowing in past situations. Dr Nguyen had the knowledge to numb everything but my tongue so that I didn’t feel pain yet also didn’t have the inability to swallow. I still don’t know how she did it! I only wish Dr. Nguyen was closer to me so that I could go see her and her friendly staff for all of my future dental needs. I may just consider flying out to see her each time! I would recommend their services to absolutely everyone, especially those who are generally uncomfortable in a dental office the same way I always had been!

THANK YOU Yelpers. I chose this location because of the high reviews. I have had a few really bad experiences with dentists in the past and needed to change dentists which made me a bit nervous. I read the reviews and chose Smiles based on the reviews and it went great! Everyone was really friendly! Dr. Nguyen was very welcoming. Everyone was! Danita’s (spelling? sorry if wrong!) cleaning was very gentle and thorough. Plus I got a free travel toothbrush for my purse. The equipment is modern and office very clean. Highly recommend!!!

I LOVEE THIS PLACE I had such a fear of the dentist before I found out about Long Beach Smiles, they are the BEST, They understood my fear and they were so gentle and kind to me, they made my experience a good one my fear is still there a little but not to the point to where I am scared of the dentist, and they worked with me with a comfortable payment plan that worked for the both of us. All the employees at Long Beach Smiles Dentistry are excellent and very empathetic to your needs whatever they may be and my doctors were GREAT both of them I had a root canal and a crown replacement LOVE LONG BEACH SMILES DENTISTRY

Change of heart. I’m not sure how an updated review on yelp appears, but I’d like to be sure to report that the office responded to my negative feedback questionnaire promptly with great professionalism and asked me to come in for another cleaning with Mary. Wow! Mary was meticulous with every step of the deep cleaning process (plus laser cleaning and anti microbial rinse) and despite the fact that my mouth is still so numb from her injections (which were given so well that it was truly painless!), I can tell my teeth are super clean. The entire cleaning process was a completely different experience from my first. She also gave me great new tips for keeping my chompers in top health. They get bonus props for how they responded to my mega dissatisfaction on my first appointment (which Dr Nguyen assured me was a fluke, I’m happy to give them the benefit of the doubt). I’ll be going back for a follow up cleaning in 3 months.

The dental team is outstanding, Dr Victoria Nguyen  is very communicative and knowledgeable, very personable. Jaime is an awesome part of the support team. He does excellent work, very attentive. If he ever moved on myself and my kids would be bummed.  They are all very good at monitoring pain and tolerance levels, highly recommend. Excellent hygienic team as well. Great providers also for wisdom teeth removal. I have also had great results with a root canal by Dr Michael Nguyen who is partnered with the office.

Dr. Victoria Nguyen and her staff are simply the best. I have been a patient here for a couple years. Friendly staff, clean office, very professional. This past Saturday I had 2 root canals and two crowns done. From beginning to end the entire procedure was painless! If you need dental care and you need a dentist that is gentle and has a very friendly staff – this is the place! Thanks again Dr. Nguyen.

Thanks to all the yelper. Now I have a new go to spot for my dental treatment. All the staff are very friendly and treat you like family. They have all upgraded equipment but some I never seen before. They are very honest and give you great tips to keep your teeth and gum healthy. Me not going for a whole year, I though I’m going to spend a lot of money thinking I’m going to need a lot of treatment. But nope all i need is some good flossing and bushing. Darn I hate flossing lol but I got to do it. I also enjoy being at the dentist today feels like I know them for a long time.
Thanks guys I will be back soon

This has to be at least my third time writing positive comments about Long Beach Smiles.. whoever thought the dentist would elicit such positive praise, but they are just that good! My most recent adventure had to do with two crowns.. the crown of my front tooth just didn’t meet my satisfaction when it came back to the lab, i anticipated at least some sort of resistance …i recieved none.. in fact, they were not going to be satisfied until I was satisfied.. so back to the lab it went.. in the meantime my back molar crown broke… I walked in with no appointment and walked out with another crown in less than 2 hours.. amazing! A week later I was back and my front crown was finished.. I walked out feeling confident and well taken care of.. Dr. Victoria Nguyen is the absolute best, and now is my buddy for life. She has top notch staff including Jesse, Jaime and Jessica… They are all great, and you can tell that they enjoy what they do.. I finally have to mention Dr Abdullah, cause she is absolutely wonderful with my kids.. Jaime even took time out of his busy schedule to make sure the PlayStation was working for their entertainment.. I enjoy going out of my way to highlight how great this place is… And if my experiences continue to be this positive, it will be my pleasure to continue to sing their praises

LOVE THIS DENTAL OFFICE! 3rd time is a charm…. I’ve previously given reviews on Dr. V. Nguyen and Dr. M. Nguyen. Today I had an appointment with Dr. Aziz Maghen/Oral Surgeon. He is AMAZING! Thank you for such superb patient care! My son is actually looking forward to having his wisdom teeth removed next month!!

Let me just start by saying I hate the dentist. Not any specific one, just in general. A sensitive gag reflex, fear of sharp objects and PTSD from when I was a kid keeps me from aging out of my feelings. But, at some point in my 30s, I made the decision it was time to find a dentist that I could build a relationship with for the long-term. So, naturally, when I set about to do the legwork for this v. important decision, I went with a new practice that just opened next to my favorite sushi restaurant based on the fact that a) it was brand new and modern-looking and b) the doc was young and wasn’t about to retire (like my last dentist). I’m glad I did because Dr. Victoria Nguyen and all of the staff at Long Beach Smiles is great. Everyone is warm and professional, and the office (as I had originally suspected!) is equipped with all the latest, like, dental things…digital x-rays, some in-house crown fabricating machine, etc. My first visit revealed some fairly progressed gum disease (a consequence of not being a good flosser and a quick brusher) and Dr. Nguyen got me back on track. She explained every treatment option, let me know upfront whether it was or wasn’t covered by insurance and left it to me make the decision on what to do. I never felt I was being pressured or upsold. It took some not-so-pleasant deep cleanings (not gonna lie, they sucked, but were highly effective), oral irrigation, a quarterly cleaning regimen and my own commitment to flossing and brushing for 2 min daily in order to not ever have to go through that ordeal ever again, but I’m happy to report that according to my pocket depths, which are checked with every exam (key diagnostic for oral health!!), I was able to reverse problem 4 and 5 depths to 2s and 3s. Btw, if you don’t know what I’m talking about because your dentist doesn’t do this as part of your exam, leave them immediately bc they’re not doing enough for you. My husband, kid and I are all patients of Dr. Nguyen, which is a testament to her chair-side manner since each one of us has our own unique issues with going to the dentist. In conclusion, because this review is already too long, give Long Beach Smiles a try if you’re looking for top-grade dental care. Even if you hate the dentist (like me), you’ll be in good hands.

So happy with my experience here. It took me a year to actually find a dental office that met my high expectations. My appointment time was honored, staff loved answering questions, environment is clean and sterile. It’s not like the other dental groups that can have you waiting in their office for hours. This place is the opposite. I really appreciate how thorough the receptionists, Dental Assistants and Dr. Nguyen was. I will definitely be coming back.

Dr Victoria is amazing – honestly I’ve always hated the dentist but she makes you feel comfortable and makes sure you’re not in any pain. She’s very thorough and informative. The office is equipped with TVs in every exam room as well as state of the art equipment to make anything from X-rays fast and easy. The whole Long Beach Smiles team is so friendly as well – makes visiting the dentist very pleasant.

Miss Dr. Victoria Nguyen but glad to have Antwon and Dr. Chung looking after my smile now.  Very nice and professional staff for my first visit back.  Good to be home with this new team!

Went to Long Beach Smiles today for my first visit. It’s right off Stearns & Bellflower. Impeccably clean facility and the latest and greatest tools/etc. TV’s in each cleaning room with DirecTV. Listened to Classic SNL while getting my teeth cleaned! Dr. Victoria Nguyen and her staff are fantastic. Had a new patient special going on for $59.00. It’s easily a $200 + value. No brainer to take advantage of this opportunity. Highly recommend them after just one thorough visit.

Well let me tell you a little something about LB Smiles Dentristry.  THEY ROCK!  Had my first appointment with them a couple months back (sorry for the late review) and everything went pretty smooth.  Apologies for not remembering the names, but the two ladies at the reception area were very professional and gave off that welcoming vibe you want to feel at any health field related clinic.   I instantly took notice of how technologically advanced the office was with their use of ipads, xrays, and their displays.  It lets you know they are sparing no expensive which is comforting.  It also broke the mundane ritual of having to fill out all of that paperwork on clipboards. One part that I REALLY appreciated was that there was no “hard sell” involved.  After they examine your ivories, they whip together a sheet that details what everything is going to cost, what covered by insurance, then they ask if you want to proceed.   Overall, a very pleasent experience and I’m extremely stoked that I finally found a dentist that seems to care about the patients more-so than taking your cash.  And the cherry on top is that Dr. Nguyen is pretty darn cute so thats definately a bonus.  BTW I’m referring to the female Nguyen – although the male Nguyen is rather striking as well (No, I don’t roll that way but I felt guilty in leaving him hanging).

From scheduling my appointment online to the finishing touch on my teeth were terrific. The staff, and Dr. Victoria Nguyen were nice, knowledgeable and professional. The office is also nice and clean which is a plus. I’m always scared of dentists and their sharp tools, however, Dr. Nguyen and the dental hygienist both have a gentle touch, from the teeth cleaning to the local anesthetic injection were not painful at all. Will definitely come back soon for my extraction and implants. Thanks Long Beach Smiles!!!

Dr Victoria Nguyen is such a lovely person + dentist!! What a package of brains and beauty she is the ultimate dentist. The front desk staff are always professional and so accomodating. I’ve had to re-schedule appointments LAST minute with my busy changeable days, but they’ve never made me feel bad and have always appreciated us as customers. Modern interior inside, always clean, TV and music to distract you. Kid friendly with toys and PS4 etc She’s super laid back and keeps things at ease. I wasn’t even aware that she owned the place because she’s such a nice lady! not pushy at all and only wants the best results for you. we all worry about going to dentists but I am naturally a terrible ball of anxiety, so I’m an even more difficult client. thankfully the staff are amazing – the assistant lady with tattoos and glasses (i forget her name) is super cool and super grateful to Jaime who does an excellent quick job at xrays and is super versatile he even helped put my crown in and his hands are as light as feathers!! All in all, the dentists here are the very best but unfortunately not all the assistants are as great as the more experienced ones like Jaime. If you’re lucky enough to get Dr Victoria you’re going to recieve amazing results so I say give it a try considering they’re also much more affordable then other mom n pop shops. BTW, enroll into their smiles dental plan… your bill becomes 50% off! It’s a $100 something for the year and $20 something additional per fam member.

I’ve been holding off writing a review of Long Beach Smiles because it takes awhile to tell if a dentist’s office is just good on surface-level things (friendly, sensitive, fairly priced, etc.) or is actually also good at taking care of teeth. I’ve been to a lot of dentists due to my high-maintenance-ness (extra-touchy gag reflex, sensitive teeth, teeth that seem to just suck and get cavities all over the place no matter how much I brush/floss). There are dentists that seem to know what they’re doing, but then all their work falls apart after a year. There are dentists that try to do everything themselves when really they should be referring you to an endodontist or oral surgeon. There are dentists who try to upsell you constantly when all you want is for your teeth to not hurt and to chew food. Fortunately, after almost two years going to Long Beach Smiles and having had two root canals with crowns, three cleanings, and countless X-rays done, I can pretty confidently say that this office is all-around topnotch. That did include two root canals, unfortunately. For that I saw Dr. Nguyen, their endodontist. He was wonderful, too. And extraordinarily fast! I doubt either one took more than 20 minutes. Not only was he fast, he clearly didn’t miss any roots or mess up in any way, because they’re still solid a year later. I chose to do the CEREC route for crowns because you get the canal and the crown done the same day – no follow-up or temporaries. It’s more expensive, but worth it, I think. When I experienced some pain a few weeks later, I went back in and they touched up the bite, which solved the issue.They’re not perfect – their time management is usually pretty bad and a simple appointment may take a couple hours with the majority of the time just being you sitting in a chair waiting for people. Also, I’ve had mixed experiences with the people who do the X-rays. With the ones for my root canal, the guy was downright rude and just shoved the thing into my mouth while I was imploring him to go slowly. However, at my most recent appointment, the woman I had was an X-ray wizard. She placed the bites very carefully and veritably glided to the button to make sure she was pressing it as quickly as possible. She was the first technician who has placed them in such a way that I don’t have to hold them in with my hand. The bottom line is that at this time two years ago, I had trouble eating hot soup, corn nuts, anything taffy-like, chips, or cold smoothies. Today, I never even think about whether I will have pain while I’m eating. Eating is my lifeblood, as you can tell from my reviews, and so that is an enormous gift and one I’m grateful to Dr. Abdalla and the whole staff for giving to me.

Great place to get your dental do right done .! 🙂 Dentist is sweet gentle,and caring.They will do my bridge work soon !

I was referred to this office from my regular dentist’s office when it was determined I needed an emergency root canal and the endodontist wasn’t in that office on Fridays.  I was scared, stressed out and in pain when I arrived.  Everyone made me feel more comfortable when I walked in.  The front desk clerk was so nice, she knew who I was and that they were expecting me.  I had to wait a little bit, but that’s to be expected for an add on patient and the front desk staff was very caring and accommodating when I asked for some ibuprofen for pain while I waited.  The X-ray tech was amazing!   So compassionate of my fear and pain. I’m sorry I don’t remember names, i was so stressed out I forgot to ask.  Dr. Nguyen, the endodontist was wonderful.  He could tell I was scared and he explained everything in terms I could understand.  The procedure was performed with minimal pain.  I ended up with two root canals.  The cost was comparable to other offices I had been to(less by a couple hundred dollars actually).  I had let them know up front that I was low on cash right now and they offered to let me make payments.  I’ve been working on improving my credit so I had a feeling i wouldn’t be approved for financing but they put me on a no interest payment plan that I could afford.  I’m so grateful for that.  They are quite a ways from my house so I don’t know if I will be back there but I have a lot of friends that live closer to that area and I will definitely recommend them.

I cannot say enough about this place!!  I found myself in an emergency situation on a Friday afternoon, just minutes before having out of town company arrive.  They got me in, calmed me down and took care of everything quickly and professionally!  Everyone was so understanding and incredibly friendly, from start to finish.  I left with hugs and a huge smile!  When do you go to a dentist and say you kind of look forward to going back?! lol  A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to Long Beach Smiles Dentistry!

I don’t think the dentist is anyone’s favorite place to go to, not mines either. Howeve, Long Beach Smiles Dentistry has changed my thoughts about the dentist. I’m no longer terrified!!! My experience was nothing but pleasant from the time I walked in, until the time I walked out. The work that I needed done scared me alone, but to my surprise, I walked out smiling (on one side) so glad I had a wonderful friend who told me about this place. Now it’s my turn to share!!!

From the receptionists, X-ray techs to the Dentists 5 Stars. Friendly smiles making the root canal visit a pleasant one… Been to other offices in Bixby Knolls that made me feel like I was an assembly line product.  Not here…. Visiting the dentist usually makes me worried, but this office makes you feel welcomed and relaxed… Thanks everyone at Smiles Dentistry on Stearns… 🙂 JJ

OMG, anyone that is looking for the best dentist and staff should really check this place out. I promise you will not be disappointed! Like every other person in the world, its easy to agree that we all hate going to the dentist, but when I found Long Beach Smiles, I was really amazed about how cheery yet calming, and comfortable the office was! The staff up front is not only VERY friendly, they greeted me when I walked in, and they answered all of my questions and made everything very easy for me. As I wait I usually like to take a look at my surroundings and how clean the office is. This office was immaculate! All new features in their working stations, and they even have movies for you to watch as you wait, and get your “grill” on. lol. I was very pleased. Dr. Vicky Nguyen was absolutely AMAZING! There really isnt enough words to explain my experience with her but she has made going to the dentist something to look forward to! her welcoming personality shows how much she really loves to service her patients, and she is so informational! She doesnt hesitate to explain the processes of her work and why she does them, but also leaves the customer feeling like there isnt anything more to worry about when it comes to taking care of your teeth!  I seen Dr. Nguyen, was when she first opened her practice. Since then, I have moved up to the bay area (San Jose), and I STILL make my appointments to only see her. =) actually I have an upcoming appointment on January 9th, 2015. =)

You would think being absolutely brand new, there would be some kinks with how this dental office, Long Beach Smiles Dentistry, is run….but NOPE. Instead, I must say there are only perks to it being a completely new establishment. The office is extremely clean, the equipment is brand new and state of the art making me feel like I am having the best care possible, the staff is friendly, efficient, and enthusiastic, the convenience of free, right out front parking, and the prime location of having many stores near. Most importantly, the DENTIST, Dr. Nguyen, is not only knowledgeable about dentistry, professional and approachable, but very skilled as well. I came in for a routine check-up after not seeing a dentist for years and when Dr. Nguyen came into the room (after I received x-rays), she made me feel very comfortable about how the rest of the appointment would go, informing me on what she would be doing every step of the way. I’ve been to many other dentists and either felt extremely rushed out of the office or like I was in the chair forever. Dr. Nguyen provided me with what I felt a good balance of my time. She worked quickly to make me feel like my mouth wasn’t painfully open for hours, but I never felt like she was “half a*sing” at all. I would highly recommend Dr. Nguyen of Long Beach Smiles Dentistry to anyone seeking a comfortable, clean, friendly, and knowledgeable place to have dental work done.

I’ve seen the same dentist for the past 12 years. When I moved here from the Bay Area 2 years ago, I continued to go back for my dental appointments. I finally started looking for a new dentist here and came across Long Beach Smiles. I did not think I would find a dental office as great as the one I had back home, but I was impressed by this one! Everyone was friendly and provided quality customer service. It was a smooth process as a new patient. Dr. Victoria Nguyen was very personable and took the time to explain everything to me. I am glad to have her as my new dentist!

Went here recently and had a great experience! I’m new to LB and actually picked this dental office because of the great Yelp reviews. I can say from experience that the reviews are spot on. The receptionist was great in helping me get my insurance through (forgot to bring the right card!), Jaime did an excellent job with my xrays, Dr. Nguyen was thorough and easy to understand, and my favorite was Ramon who did an excellent job numbing me for my deep cleaning. He made me feel at ease and talked to me through the procedure (which says a lot because I hate dental work lol). Definitely recommend!
