Dr. Ta and her staff are awesome. The office is cozy and you get a personal vibe and are treated like family. They knew I worked night shift and always accommodated my schedule. I picked up invisalign and can’t wait to for the results. They really care about their patients, cannot recommend enough 🙂

I’ve been searching for a good dentist for the past couple of years and never had luck on finding the right one for me (mind you that I would rather to go to the doctors ten times before going to the dentist once).  I was referred to Doctor Ta and even after my first visit, I’m entirely thrilled to say that I couldn’t have been happier. She made me feel so welcome and made the whole new patient process easy and seamless. The actual procedure was even better (if that’s possible). Doctor Ta walked through what she was doing step by step and I felt assured and comfortable the whole time I was in the chair. She did such an amazing job with the procedures (and with my nerves).

Since I was young and throughout adulthood I dreaded going to the dentist because of my experiences at my old dentist. It got to the point I stopped going for 7 years. Fast forward to present day I decided to go to Serene Smiles for a cleaning appointment as well as Invisalign. I was nervous at first because of my previous experiences. I made it known as I was sitting in the chair waiting to get my teeth cleaned. The RDH was very warm and welcoming, reassured me that I was in good hands. To my surprise, the cleaning process was nowhere close to my previous experiences! She did a fantastic job without causing me any pain. My teeth felt 10x cleaner. She educated me on how to maintain healthy gums and teeth, why they bled often when I flossed, etc… Now moving onto my Invisalign. Serena was very helpful in guiding me through the process of getting Invisalign. She showed me how my teeth would adjust after 7 months of Invisalign. She provided me with a quote that was cheaper than many of my friends who received Invisalign from a different dentist. She saved me roughly about $2,000! Also, she was also able to save me an additional $500 through my dental insurance that my work provides us. I didn’t have my dental information but she was able to find out the dental benefits were provided by my work. Obviously I’m even more stoked after realizing how much I’d be saving so it was a no brainer to move forward with it.

Saw many great reviews for Serene Smiles Dental and thought I would give this place a try. Today was my first visit with Dr. Ta. Came in for my appointment and the staff was so sweet and friendly. I despise going to the dentist so when I visit a place and the atmosphere is crummy, it makes me not want to come even more. However this place made me feel comfortable, they made me laugh, they were very communicative on what was going on, which I greatly appreciate because I hate not knowing. Angel did my X-rays and he was super kind and funny. After my X-rays I got to see Dr. Ta and she did my teeth cleaning. She also told me that I have a cavity! My first one ever!!!!! I had no idea of the process so she was informative and answered my many many questions. Lol. She filled my cavity and was so communicative throughout the whole process. Didn’t hurt at all and kept making sure I was okay.

I hate going to the dentist, if I could give 0 stars to all the dentist out there I would just because going to the dentist never feels like a good day. That was until I found out about Serene Smiles Dental and Dr. Ta. With my hatred of going to the dentist, it was hard finding the right dentist that I could feel comfortable with and trust. Dr. Ta and her staff are a wonderful group who cares about their patients. When you walk into her office you’re greeted with a smile and you can tell everyone enjoys bringing smiles to all their patients. The office is bright, clean and high tech so you don’t feel like you’re about to get tortured. She is very easy to talk to about any concerns you may have with your teeth and with her knowledge she’ll give you recommendations and treatment options that best suits your needs. One of my main concerns was to get Invisalign to correct some crookedness on my bottom teeth. From the consultation to getting my first set of trays was quick and painless. She made sure I understood everything that was going on from step to step.

Dr Ta was amazing to deal with, she shows care and she’s also very passionate. I usually hate going to the dentist but all the staff and Dr Ta were professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend. Thank you !

As someone with an immense fear of going to the dentist, I’m so glad to have found Dr. Ta! As I get older, I’ve learned that good dental health is so important. I used to dread going to the dentist (avoided one for years), but so relieved now that I’ve found Serene Dental.  Dr. Ta is gentle, caring, so smart and so skilled at what she does. She is sweet yet professional, and I’ve never had to wait long to be taken into the chair. I went in for my routine check up and cleaning, and Dr. Ta did such a thorough job with my deep cleaning. My teeth and mouth felt so clean!  Unfortunately my worst nightmare came true and I had a cavity. First cavity in years!! Dr. Ta spent time explaining where the cavity was, showed me the difference between a “healthy tooth” vs the cavity tooth, and how mine was almost the point of a root canal if we don’t take care of it. I really appreciated her honesty, but also the approach in explaining the WHY instead of just telling me this needs to be done. I trust her recommendation and knew I had to get the cavity filled in order for it not to become a potential root canal. I made a follow up appointment with her office and she was able to squeeze me in on a Saturday.

I was pretty nervous coming in for my filling but after seeing and talking to Dr. Ta she made me feel very comfortable, and I personally feel that that’s the most important part of my dental visit. Will definitely be coming back!

★★★★★

Experience from walking in to walking out was great. Very friendly staff kept it professional but made the atmosphere feel very welcoming. After a quick consultation for Invisalign, Dr. Ta provided me with great feedback and recommendations on how to move forward. Needless to say, she is very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail on cosmetic dentistry and specifically to my case. Within a few days, I came back for my trays and I am very happy with how comfortable they are on my teeth. In addition, Dr. Ta and her staff did a wonderful job with my teeth exam, x-ray and cleaning. She provided a painless thorough cleaning. My overall experience was excellent and I highly recommend anyone looking for some dentistry work. Thank you Serene Smiles!!

First time here absolutely loved the place! The staff is very welcoming and Dr. Ta explained everything thoroughly, making me feel comfortable even though I am afraid of going to the dentist. Check in was fast, didn’t wait too long, and she was very gentle with the tooth she crowned for me. Highly recommended!!

I’m one to run when I hear about going to the Dentist! Dr.Ta was extremely patient with me as I don’t do well with pain, she was very empathetic and asked if I was okay every couple minutes to insure I was comfortable. I’m very happy with the service she and her team provided. Thank you!

I haven’t been to the dentist in several years and seriously needed a check-up and cleaning. I’ve been experiencing some bleeding gums that were due to plaque build up. I was recommended to Dr. Ta’s office and couldn’t be happier. It was daunting at first to come but thanks to the helpful staff and people at Serene Smiles, I felt very comfortable. They have TV’s setup in every room, and even sunglasses to prevent you from going blind when staring into the light. The place was very clean and comfortable.

I am someone who will put off having to go to the dentist and doctor for as long as as I can. (Always had rough experiences) I’m so glad to have found Dr. Ta due to my fear of needles. I had a handful of cavities, thus… needing anesthetics – major fear. Dr. Ta was shockingly gentle, she wiggles as she’s injecting, I didn’t feel a thing. She’s always attentive and making sure you’re ok along the way, she’s very thorough along with her assistant Mikita. I referred my family and friends, they had nothing but good things to say about Dr. Ta and her office. Not to mention, she’s also really pretty

Dr. Ta and her staff are amazing! I was referred to her by a friend of mine and it was the best thing yet. Working in the dental field for a while, I’ve been hesitant on finding a new office to go to but I’m glad I did. Dr. Ta listened to every one of my concerns and took very great care of me. I am excited to see her every 6 months. 🙂

I took my husband here to get some work done on his teeth. When it comes to the dentist my husband can be a big baby but his experience here has changed his perspective completely! From when we walked in we were greeted by the friendly staff. Throughout the procedure Dr. Ta made sure my husband was comfortable which he was. She was very informative and educated him on what she was doing and how to care for his teeth after. Dr. Ta was very knowledgeable and took her time answering all our questions. Overall, my husband and I are very please with the service we got here. I would highly recommend this place to friends and family.

This place is amazing!! I heard of this place through a friend of mine who went recently and he told me this clinic did a great job so I gave it a shot. I set up an appointment and went in last week for a normal cleaning but the service was great. Doctor Ta was so funny and she made me feel really comfortable (I never really have a good time at the dentist), I could tell she was experienced as well. When I get my teeth cleaned I get scared because I feel like some dentists don’t take their time and just want me to get out the door.. However, Doctor Ta took her time and she was very gentle with my teeth and she did a great job. I’m definitely coming back here again! Definitely recommend if any of you are looking for a new dentist!

Dr. Ta was extremely attentive and patient. I came in for a teeth cleaning and as always, was very apprehensive. However, the experience was beyond my expectations. She was quick, precise, and it was nearly painless! Will definitely come back for my regular cleanings.

Dr. Ta is so compassionate and caring! I’ve always been terrified of dentists and how uncomfortable they make me feel by Dr. Ta made me feel at so much ease. I went in for a deep cleaning and I also had a cavity and my entire process felt like such a breeze compared to other practices I’ve been to. Dr. Ta answered and addressed all of my questions and concerns. The office waiting area is soooo cute and the entire staff are super friendly. If you always be cheesin’ it hard and want your teeth to look snatched, she’s your doc. Literally. The. Best.

Dr. Ta is a wonderful dentist! She is efficient, thorough, friendly, and goes through the each procedure with a complete explanation of what is going to be done and why.

Dr. Ta provided exceptional service to my girlfriend’s sister and removed her braces in no time. I am proud to support her practice because of the professional nature of her staff and herself. I definitely recommend her to anyone thinking of getting a new dentist. She made the process easy and calmed all of our nerves as getting dental work is never a fun thing. Once my girlfriend’s sister got her braces off, she was all smiles! Thanks for the great experience! I will be back with family and friends.

I hate going to the dentist. I get anxiety just thinking about it. Going to Serene Smiles alleviated all my negative thoughts as her staff was very professional and caring. Everything was explained prior to treatment through a huge screen TV and detailed conversation. There was virtually no pain from my cleaning. My filling was painless (seriously my biggest concern coming in). My teeth look and feel great. Huge plus: My Invisalign treatment was awesome! It was worth it. I highly recommend that you go there for your treatment.

I’ve had a lot of bad experiences with the dentist as many people have.  One day I woke up with a really sensitive tooth. I called my dentist and they couldn’t get me in for weeks. I called a few offices and none of them could get me in. I finally called serene smiles and they were able to fit me in right away. When I got there I was greeted right away. The staff was very friendly and helpful. When I met dr ta she made me feel so comfortable. I ended up just needed a simple filling which they took care fast and gently. I will totally be coming back.

I remember dreading the dentist since I was a kid, but Dr. Ta has quickly become my favorite dentist. I was having excruciating toothaches and had been putting off seeing the dentist for way longer than I should’ve. I called her office and her wonderful staff set me up with an appointment on short notice. When I got there, I sat down in the chair and my childhood nightmares of going to the dentist all started coming back. Wait, did I sit in a puddle or did someone turn on the heat? My throat began to tighten and the walls of the room started to feel like they were closing in on me. I thought to myself, this is how I’m going to die.. all hope seemed lost until Dr. Ta walked in. Her reassuring smile and gentle nature quickly set me back to reality. It looked like death was going to have to wait for another day. We went over my tooth pain and she walked me through the procedure. Don’t let the young, pretty face fool you. She’s as good as they come. Dr. Ta is experienced, knowledgeable, gentle, and most importantly made me feel comfortable going to the dentist. She told me my cavities were due to my sweet tooth candy eating habits and that if I wanted to stay away from the dentist I would have to stop.. but you know what? I might just have to keep eating candy so I can come back and see Dr. Ta again!
