I went in originally because I had a crown that had come unattached. Not only did he fix my crown, but he surprisingly fixed my bite that I didn’t even realize was a problem. It was such a drastic change and now I have what he calls a “happy bite.” Thanks Dr. Mark!

Dr. Yamamoto is treating my TMD. He is extremely knowledgeable and I feel confident that my symptoms will eventually all disappear. It has improved immensely since I started treatment. I had a 10 year old TMJ splint, from a previous dentist, which was only making my condition worse. Dr. Yamamoto is thorough and made sure I had all the proper x-rays before I started my treatment. The whole office staff is super friendly and it’s a pleasure to go there for my appointments.

I have been a member for over 20 years. It is a great way to network. You meet people and get to know them before you try their services. The good members stay with the group. I give Le Tip five stars.

Dr. Yamamoto took exceptional care of me after I tripped and feel breaking three of my upper front teeth the day before my birthday.  He came in on his afternoon off —which was my birthday—to fix me up and be presentable for my party that evening.  He has shown me great care and respect as well.  He is humorous and makes you feel at ease.  I am so happy he has been our dentist for many years now.

Dr. Mark has been our dentist for many years. He does a thorough job in regular cleaning and in any work my family needs. I recommended him to a friend that needed emergency work on the weekend and Mark came in! He’s the best.

Bruce L. from Westminster, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr. Yamamoto has taken care of my dental needs for the last 35 years. I’m now 80 and have all my originals except for 2 implants. He and his staff are absolutely the best. Very ethical, professional. and accommodating. They make you feel like family when your in his facility. A 5 Star facility for sure.
Any negative reviews in this column are probably from people who would complain about a FREE lunch.

My wife and have been seeing Mark for over 38 years. In this time Mark has always been highly professional, competent and effective in giving us the best treatment and results in taking care of our teeth. We highly recommend Mark Yamamoto.

★★★★★

Dr. Yamamoto is a professional – from the clean office and attentive staff to the time he took to describe the issues and planned course of action, there was no rush to get out and to the next patient and never any suggestion of unnecessary work – they even suggested I not get work done another dentist had scheduled.

Very nice services. I moved to CA three years ago so I still can’t speak English well but they are very patient and listen to me very carefully.Not only Dr! Receptionist too.I am very happy with them. It’s been four years since I came, but I wasn’t really confident in English at the dentist. However, Dr and the receptionist also patiently understood my explanation, and I am very pleased to take care of me every time. Since Dr is a Nikkei, he is better at English than Japanese, but he explains with simple words every time, so even if you are not confident in English, it is a dentist who can go with peace of mind!

★★★★★

Dr. Yamamoto is a very capable and gentle dentist. I had ignored my teeth for years and had a molar that was broken off at the gum line. Dr. Yamamoto went about the extraction in such a deliberate and gentle way that I did not feel the need to fill my pain medicine subscription and used ibuprofen only for 2 days and that was it. I’m sure you’ve been to a Doctor that, since you’re under anesthetic, is rough. I was very, very happy to find such an excellent dentist and Dr. Yamamoto has been my dentist since this first visit. He keeps my teeth and mouth healthy.

Roland A. from Carmel, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr Yamamoto has been my dentist for a few years now. He was recommended to us by a friend of ours. He just replaced a couple of bridges for me and did an excellent job, better than any of my previous dentists. Not only did they fit effortlessly on the first try, but he refused to accept one that wasn’t exactly the right color, making the lab do it right. I can unhesitatingly recommend him.

★★★★★

I am a coward when it comes to going to the Dentist But my experience with Dr Yamamoto taught me that If a Dentist is experienced and competent there is no Reason to be uncomfortable ! My experience with Dr Yamamoto was comfortable and I didn’t feel any pain when he gave me a shot of novacain and he pulled a tooth and I didn’t even know when he did it ! If your a baby like I was, you need to trust in him to Care for your Dental needs in a caring, comfortable Manner. He is by far the best Dentist I have ever
Used !

I have known Dr. Mark for over 20 years.   He is a great dentist and I could not recommend him more.  I was even in Israel on a tour and a dentist was part of our group and amazingly he had taken some classes that Dr. Mark taught at USC.  When dentists have personal needs or difficult cases he is their dentist of choice.  He is also the renowned expert regarding TMJ.  Thanks Dr. Mark for your professionalism and expertise.

Dr. Yamamoto has accomplished a true miracle on my TMJ problem!  I had had temporal mandibular joint disorder for many years.  I had been clenching my jaw, grinding my teeth and wearing down my gums. In addition, the muscles on my right side of my neck and face were getting more built up.  I had been getting headaches and neck aches. A specialist made me a splint (night guard) to prevent teeth grinding.  It didn’t solve the problem at all! When I spoke with Dr. Yamamoto, told me the plan was to take about a year to realign my bite, which was not aligned.  It would have to happen slowly but that as soon as it happened, things would start falling into place and the teeth grinding, jaw clenching and headaches would stop.   I visited (I think) between 4 and 5 times over the year.  Dr. Y took impressions and began building up some teeth and gently filing others down.  He slowly, slowly began the long process of getting my jaw to line up.  He took before, during and after pictures.  We could actually see the oversized muscles on my right side starting to atrophy! It was good news, especially since the headaches and neck aches were also dwindling.

I definitely recommend Dr. Mark Yamamoto. I didn’t realize how mediocre my previous dentist was until I recently had a crown replaced by Dr. Yamamoto.  A true caring professional, Dr. Yamamoto’s process was so thorough with two impressions to achieve a perfect crown for my bite. I didn’t realize that is what should be done to create a comfortable crown.  Dr. Yamamoto even had a careful listening ear when I shared with him no matter how careful I was with my previous temporary crowns, they just never fit right and would fall out.  Dr. Yamamoto created a metal temporary which was the perfect fit and stayed secured until replaced with the permanent crown.  The permanent crown went on effortlessly with very little adjustments.  Also he was so kind to adjust my night guard to fit my new bite.  His staff is awesome too!

Dr. Mark is very professional, providing the information needed to make decisions about my own dental care and that of my two teens. He discusses the options for treatment and the drawbacks of each option instead of just telling us what he wants to do.

Donald S. from Fountain Valley, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr. Yamamoto has been my dentist for many years and I have always had a great experience at his office. His crowns, veneers and fillings are comfortable and last a long time. My wife was a patient of another dentist, who advised her she needed a crown on a tooth that was not causing her any trouble. I convinced her to see Dr. Yamamoto for a second opinion and she was happy to learn that no crown was needed. She has been Dr. Yamamoto’s patient ever since. This was years ago and the tooth is still fine. It is wonderful to have such an experienced and trustworthy dentist!

Dr. Yamamoto has been my dentist for over 15 years and I honestly can’t imagine seeing another dentist. He’s knowledgeable, professional, and reliable with friendly office staff. I highly recommend him

My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Yamamoto since we moved to Southern California some 15 years ago. Dr. Yamamoto was recommended by my previous dentist in New Jersey. My wife and I could not be happier with our choice. Dr. Yamamoto is a wonderful dentist and a real master of his profession. His hygienist, Lupe’, was formerly his assistant who went back to school to achieve her certification. Going to Dr. Yamamoto and Lupe’ is like going to visit friends, who know and care about their patients. My wife and I have a great deal of trust in    Dr. Yamamoto and his team. We could not be more pleased.

Dr. Yamamoto was a life savor for me.  The day before my birthday I tripped, fell and broke three front teeth.  There were two parties planned for me the next night and the following Sunday. I called Dr. Mark around 7:20pm on that Thursday as my husband drove me home.  He answered the phone and said he would come in on Friday afternoon —his day off to help me.  His assistant came also and they worked on me for two and a half hours so I could smile for my birthday parties.  I need extensive dental work and he referred me to excellent specialists.  He puts me at ease in his office.  My husband and I have been his patients for several years.  Hard to read and even conceive the negative comments about him.  For me he saved the day.

Dr. Yamamoto, his staff and office team are all the best. for over 20 years he has continued to be very through and accommodating to all of my family’s dental needs. The best part is that I am totally confident that he provides the best care available to us.

Dr. Yamamoto is incredible!! He actually CARES so much about each of his patients. He was wonderful when I went to see him and he has helped my mom tremendously. Seriously cannot stress how genuine he is and how good he is at what he does. 100% recommend!!

★★★★★

Just had my first consult with Dr. Yamamoto and he made me feel very comfortable about my prospective treatment process, as well as helped me better understand my current TMJ condition. Not only is he knowledgeable about my condition, but he’s very conscientious about costing—which is something I found very hard to come by. I’m looking forward to my next appt!

★★★★★

I have been patient of Dr. Yamamoto for over 30 years and have nothing but praise for his services. (Work performed initially is still holding up today.) I say perfectionist because his work has ALWAYS been performed with care and the results prove it, comfortable, thorough and kind. The filling and crown fitting and color matches are right on, always the best possible match.

Deborah H. from Stanton, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

and my family have been patients of Dr. Yamamotto for over a quarter of a century..from Grandparent, mom, dad and my siblings. He knows his stuff and quite frankly many other dentists have made him their dentist as well. I have had several emergencies where I have been able to personally contact him no matter the time or where he might be. He has always gotten back and helped through any emergency. HE IS THE BEST IN THE OC!!!!!!!

Dr. Mark is the best dentist that I had in my life. His office help are very professional & very caring. He takes his time to make sure that when you leave he has done his best to resolve your issues & you always know what the whole situation, treatment & cost before you leave his office. He only does what is necessary for you not what will put $ in his pocket

I had “quack” dentists who did poor work on my teeth. After a dentist couldn’t find my nerve and gave me 5 injections to try to numb the area and I could still felt pain when he drilled and yelled at me as it was my fault, I didn’t go to a dentist for 7 years. A coworker told me about Dr. Yamamoto. I went to him and told my story. He found the nerve without a problem and advised my nerve was in the textbook spot. He often explains what he is doing.  He is VERY meticulous at his work! He often adjusts my bite for teeth that have moved.  The staff is courteous and friendly. He also referred me to an awesome Periodontist that has done fantastic work to safe a tooth. Education is important to Dr Yamamoto. He keeps up with latest procedures. He has state of the art equipment. By teaching and lecturing, he is passing on his knowledge to the future generation of dentists and developing current dentist. If his students learn and evolve to be like Dr Yamamoto then more people would have better dental health and no fear of dentists.

I like this clinic! All staffs are nice to me especially Dr Yamamoto and receptionist. I’m not really good at speaking English because I’m from Japan and English isn’t my main language but they always try to speak to me very clear English and some Japanese as well. It’s really helpful for me. Good location, good supports and friendly people!

I have worn a night guard for over 25 years for grinding at night and thought that was sufficient. In the last couple of years I have experienced extremely bad pain in my jaw and neck. Each morning I would spend 15-20 minutes massaging the tension out of my jaw and neck. I related it to some upper back issues, stress, and life in general. I have had MRI’s (nothing wrong), x-rays (nothing wrong), massage, acupuncture, exercise programs, physical therapy for over a year, you name it I did it diligently to no avail. I needed a couple crowns replaced and my dentist noticed my teeth had hair line cracks from excessive grinding and did not want to proceed until I saw a TMJ specialist. I was referred to Dr Yamamoto. To be honest at first I was a bit apprehensive not truly believing I needed to go to the extreme and expense of a TMJ specialist. Dr Yamamoto explained his process, made models of my bite,  sent me off for an x-

My wife has not been to the dentist in years, my main concern was she would be shamed for not going sooner, just the opposite, Dr. Mark was very understanding to my wife’s needs and treated her with the up most respect. Not to mention she got everything fixed that needed done. Great job Dr. Mark!

Dr. Yamamoto’s education and skills are impressive. He and his staff are very knowledgeable in dentistry, very kind and patient working with our special needs adult child. I have recommended Dr. Yamamoto to two of my customers asking me if I know of a great dentist. They too are very pleased with his work and their similes!

Very satisfied with my hygenist, Lupe. She did a very thorough job and very gentle with her techniques. The office staff are great! I have  been going to Dr. Yamamoto since 1974.  He is one of the best dentists that I have ever been to! Dr. Yamamoto is very thorough and knowledgeable.  I would highly recommend Dr. Yamamoto and his staff.
