BEFORE AND AFTER
SUCCESS STORIES - VENEERS

Before and After

"Had the BEST experience here today! It was my first time here and I was very very skeptical because I’ve been to a few other dentist offices and I didn’t like the energy or the way people were in there, especially the workers. But this place was AMAZING and I liked the energy in there. The workers were friendly and not awkward with me at all. We even had a few genuine laughs here and there. This establishment and its workers made me feel at ease and not uncomfortable. For that I appreciate them so much. I can go on and on but to anyone else looking for a dentist close by in Long Beach or just want to come here, I highly recommend this place!! Oh and the work was great too!! Very clean also :)"

"Came in for a cleaning after years of not going to the dentist and I was very nervous!!! But as soon as I stepped in the door I was greeted by two very friendly girls in the front office (which was super cute and clean!) and promptly helped by Diana who took my X-rays, she was super friendly and helpful! Both doctor and the hygienist took their time explain everything to me and answering any questions I had. And to top it all off every room I stepped into had amazing views ! 10/10 recommended the entire staff is super helpful and friendly!"

"I went in hopeless about my mouth; feeling I could not afford the necessary treatments to be happy with my smile again. With my initial exam I received excellent care and was advised of and given a printout of my treatment of care to be done. Now I know the whole picture and am self- informed of my care plan. Office staff outstanding. No shaming here. Thank you."
