Practice Profile Page

I have a genetic condition and have required extensive dental for over 40 years. I have been seeing Dr. Mendoza for about 10 years now.  His work is precise and professional and he works with the utmost care and quality. Equally important is that he and his staff are wonderful people. They treat you like a family member and will go out of their way to be flexible and accommodating. My husband recently needed to find a new dentist and came home after his first appointment with Dr. Mendoza with noting but praise for the doctor and his staff.

Doctor Rudy Mendoza is Amazing his work can only be described as impeccable ! You rarely ever hear anyone who looks forward to dental visits! I truly can make that statement  Love the professionalism and efficientn of his staff. I highly recommend Dr. Mendoza , plus the decor let’s not forget to mention the ambience of his office ‘fountains ‘air purafiers and treasures from all around the world ! You must visit.

From my entire life, this is the best dentist I’ve seen. Dr. Mendoza is extremely cordial, nice, funny, and professional. This was my follow up appointment today and I was seen by his hygenist (forgot her name she wears glasses) and she was super sweet. While she was cleaning my teeth she kept asking if everything is okay and made the experience less painful as she could. The office itself is SUPER ZEN! I love the Japanese garden view and the water fountains in the front. The seats are also so comfy I could have fallen asleep. It definitely helps if you have anxiety about visiting the dentist, Dr. Mendoza’s office is the most welcoming. His staff is friendly as well and does their best to help you out. I highly recommend seeing him if you need dental work!

Today was my first appointment with Dr. Mendoza. He was very kind and gentle, explaining some trouble spots that I will need to watch. Norma is very friendly and nice to chat with, and Kim is sweet and a thorough hygienist. I’m glad to be able to get my teeth whitened in the office! I look forward to being a regular patient here. Thank you!

Hands down the BEST dental office around! I chose Dr. Mendoza to be my new dentist this year after neglecting my oral hygiene for far too long. From my very first visit when I knew I had to have a root canal to my most recent visit for a cleaning, I have felt well cared for by Dr. Mendoza and his team every time I walk through their door. I never thought it would be possible to look forward to my next dental appointment, but now I do! Dr. Mendoza has a great personality, and I’ve done more laughing and joking with him than wincing or feeling scared while in his chair. Norma is awesome–so caring and professional. Shout out to Corina for scraping three years of plaque off my teeth and tolerating my endless questions about dental health. April at the front desk is a gem. The whole team feel like my newest friends. If you’re wavering about which dentist to choose, you’ll thank yourself for choosing Dr. Mendoza.

Folks, I visited Dr. Mendoza this morning and I am now a forever fan. Dr. Mendoza explained every procedure that he was going to perform and told me that if I ever felt pain to hold up my left hand and he would stop immediately. Long story short, even though I was in his treatment room for a long time (due to my own oral health mistakes) I don’t have any pain after my treatment, and although I am far too old to be ‘gung-ho’ and do something stupid, I didn’t miss any of my fantastic life at home with my wife and 2 relatively behaved canines. Two thumbs up! for Dr. Rudy Mendoza. P.S. Norma and April and Lauren are fantastic too!

I’m a satisfied client of 7 years! Thanks to 1-800-Dentist, they connected me with only The BEST Dentist in Long Beach! Dr. Mendoza is incredibly experienced, uses the newest technology, and really looks out for the best interest of his clients. He keeps an eye on my old fillings, will be proactive when he anticipates a problem, but won’t proceed with anything unnecessary. I love his sense of humor, too! He’s like the cool uncle you wanna sit by the bar with & share adventure stories! Lol 😀 I’ve had to come in more frequently during my first years due to my bad genes and wear-n-tear, so I quickly got on a 1st name basis with everyone there! April runs the front desk & has to be the one to break down any extra costs. Norma, the assistant, is super nice & nurturing! And there is a new, younger dental hygienist, Kim Ngyuen, who is beyond kind, gentle, yet thorough! They will call to remind/confirm your appointment about a week in advance as well. As soon as you walk in, you’ll get a sense of tranquility with the sounds of mellow music & water fountains flowing through out the place. The zen garden, therapeutic aroma and Eastern decor also really set the mood that there’s nothing to be anxious about! You’re in excellent hands at Dr. Mendoza’s dentist!

Dr. Mendoza is amazing. His entire staff makes you feel at home, and he truly cares about his patients. He has seen me after hours last minute when I was freaking myself out over a possible infection. He made sure I had all my questions answered, and was always there for any other inquiries I had! His office worked with me financially and allowed me to break the work I needed up so I could afford it. I felt NO PAIN at all when getting my work done. 100% would recommend! Have another appointment next month, and don’t even have the “white coat syndrome” like I used to. This office is amazing and Dr. Mendoza is the bomb.

For some reason, even though I’m pushing the big 30 I still have baby tooth. Its in the back so nobody notices it, until I start showing it off at parties anyways. There is no adult tooth underneath, and if I lose it, I’ll be forced to either have some kind of bridge work done, or get a fake tooth implanted. Neither sound fun, and for some reason I’m kind of fond of my baby tooth, we’ve been together a long time, so when the dental hygenist (who is actually a dentist herself) told me i had a huge cavity not on the top or even the side of the tooth, but on the bottom along the gum line, I started to get real nervous. Dr. Mendoza checked out the Xrays, confirmed her finding and asked me what I wanted to do. He didnt flinch or fuss when I said “keep it”, he just got to work. While he admitted it was a challenge, and at times seemed genuinely perplexed by my freak tooth, he did save it. Apparently baby teeth and adult teeth are different in many ways, including the nerve endings. Aside from saving my baby tooth, he also cleaned up all the little tiny chips years of extremely agressive childhood teatherball playing had caused. They were tiny and I had really never even noticed them until he pointed them out. I also never wore my retainer, so some of my teeth’s former straight glory had been lost. I was nervous when I heard the file, it sounds kind of like a drill, but 10 minutes after he started, he told me he was done, and showed me my newer straighter grin. Since then I’ve been smiling at everyone, and everything, every single chance I get!

I haven’t been to the dentist in a very lonnnng time. Now that I have benefits through my job, I have been on a search of a new dentist and came across Dr. Mendoza’s office. I had my first appointment for an exam on my wisdom teeth and the service was beyond excellent! April and Kim are so sweet and very welcoming. Norma is great as well and so helpful. Dr. Mendoza made me feel very welcomed as a first timer and answered all of my questions and concerns. I also love the atmosphere of the office. It’s so zen and relaxing and makes you forget you’re at the dentist. I also love the zen garden — a nice touch of detail! I’m so happy I found a great new home for my teeth!
