Very nice people and I was initially very happy with the service. However, billing has been a nightmare. I was asked to pay out of pocket even though I have insurance and told insurance would reimburse me. My insurance is supposed to cover 80% of the cost. The dentist didnt file the claim properly the first time. The second time my insurance argued one of the procedures down to a lower one so either they didnt file properly again or they up-billed the procedure. So far my insurance is only reimbursing an arbitrary contracted amount that is a third of what I was billed by the dentist. When I asked about this contracted amount they had no idea what it was. So two months later Ive paid for 60% of a procedure I should have paid 20% for and I have a hole in my jaw I have to rinse food out of constantly. Oh and theyve not once returned a phone call.I have to wonder if asking people to pay out of pocket is an intentional way to get more money for the procedure. They obviously know they have contract rates with insurance companies because they negotiated it. So they direct bill patients their full price then put in the insurance claim knowing theyre only going to reimburse the contracted amount and the customer gets shafted for the difference.
I really like the Staff from the front office, to the hygienist to the dentist everyone very courteous and professional. They answer all your concerns and questions and really take the time to listen and answer and explain the procedures. And I greatly appreciate their patience. I highly recommend.
If you are on a budget not recommended. Everyone one is nice there and seem to know what they are doing but billing and being upfront with costs of what needs to be done is definitely not one of their specialty. On my first visit with insurance, stuff kept adding up and that you need this but not covered by insurance and added up to be a huge amount that I had to pay out of pocket. The annoying part is they did this while I was completely numbed out and couldnt really talk and the extra stuff kept coming. It would be nice specially during these times for you to extend the courtesy to a patient and provide them with some estimates of costs before you do the work, specially if it’s going to be paid out of pocket to see if they can afford something. Not every one is rich.Sadly this visit will be the last. Thank you.
Dr. Nina Sharma and her entire staff is an absolute delightful and my oral health has improved tremendously in just six months of treatment! I look forward to keeping my teeth beautiful and healthy and I couldnt do it without the help of her and her colleagues.
Amazing experience. Dr. Sharma was very helpful, and explained a lot of stuff to my that I did not know about my dental health. I’m happy and will be back!
5 star rating, best dentist ever. I had lots of work to be done, 4 root canals, and cavities, I was very scared of the dentist due to a past incident with a different dentist. However with Dr. Sharma I feel very safe and confident that I will be okay, they have brought back my dental health and given me a great outlook for the future in regards to no longer have bad memories or fearing the dentist. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs any kind of dental work. Thank you for all that you’ve done.- Peter Abrams
Ive been going to Dr Sharma for over 5 years and Ive had a great experience every time I visit. Dr Sharma and the rest of her staff are always very friendly and accommodating.Ive had my wisdom teeth removed, gotten braces, and a veneer on a chipped tooth Ive had since 5th grade. Dr Sharma always takes the time to go through each of the processes and what they involve in detail before I agree to do it.My smile and teeth have never been better. Id recommend this dentist to anyone looking for a new one.During Covid theyve been careful with making sure only a limited number of people are inside the office at once. Everyone is wearing masks and your temperature is taking on arrival.
Tiffany and Dr. Sharma always takes really great care of me and they always ask about my family. I had a pretty rough case when I first came in, but after I got through the treatment plan people compliment me on having nice teeth!
Dr. Nina Sharma has been the best dentist I have ever had. Her knowledge, skill, attention to detail, and bedside manner have made me feel more comfortable than ever before at a dentist. I never thought I could say that I look forward to going to the dentist but I do! Her team is amazing! I have since moved several times since I started coming to this office. Even when I was living in Pennsylvania, I coordinated a dental cleaning there when I came to visit family. Dr. Sharma and her team are simply the very best. Now I live in Riverside and pass dozens of dentists along the way to go to OC Dental. I wouldnt have it any other way.
*WARNING: read the 1-2 star reviews here as many of the 4-5 star reviews were written by people who received gift cards by the reception in exchange for a good review*I rarely write reviews, but I feel a moral obligation to for this practice.Let me start out by saying if a dental office has to offer Starbucks/ Target gift cards to attract inflated reviews, that’s a red flag in itself.The problem with this ‘business’ (and I’ll call if for what it is) is up-selling. I’ve never in my 26 years of life and visiting dentists for routine cleanings every 6 months been told that I needed a deep cleaning. Dr Sharma is friendly and quite charming so I fell for it and went along with her recommendation. I walked away feeling like it was a good experience overall since everyone was kind and pleasant, but with a very funny feeling that I had just paid out of pocket money for a dental cleaning.Later, I tried to schedule my next appointment for several months later because I only wanted a cleaning that was covered by my insurance 100%. When requesting this, I was told I needed to go in every 4 months for follow ups and I would have to pay. What?! Clearly this is their sneaky way of getting more business.I wanted to like this place.. I really did. But I can’t go on with a dentist that doesn’t have my interests in mind 100%.
Dental hygienist Tiffonie was very professional and very careful during the entire time she assisted me.Dr. Nina Sharma very professional and make sure she explains everything to you. Just love them Tiffany front desk very nice and very good with the pricing. Everyone one practicing social distance was very important to me which everyone one was paying attention to that.
I for one hate dentist visits, I’m always nervous. I’ve been a patient at OC dental specialist for the last 2 years. I’m always greeted with a friendly genuine smile, Everyone from the front desk, to the hygienist to Dr. Sharma are very professional and polite. They take the time to answer your questions & never give you generic answers. The Hygienists are gentle, Dentist is amazing, she knows what she’s doing, they all make me feel very comfortable that I don’t dread coming to dentist.
I’ve been going here for close to one year.... Very kind, competent and caring staff. They saw me on an emergency basis and are very reasonable on pricing. I appreciate having a dentist that is so sincere and really cares!
Had a great first experience at OC Dental Specialists- everyone was very friendly. Tiffany was lovely to meet upon arrival; Tiffanie did a great job deep cleaning; Lori was very nice and efficient; and Dr Sharma was incredibly kind. I am very happy to have found a nice dental office near home.
I just moved to Orange County and needed some dental work for a crown that had fallen off. I was so fortunate to come upon Dr. Sharmas practice. Everything about the office is welcoming, clean, and not at all rush rush. Dr. Sharma is personable, and her work is gentle, efficient, and she constructed crown right with no adjustments, amazing. Highest recommendation.
Love that it is a Woman owned. She is thorough and educates you about what is going on and future work. The staff is friendly and the hygienist, Liz, is amazing and comfortable to talk to. Will definitely come back.
Dr Nina Sharma is the reason that, for the first time, I truly love my smile.I first began seeing Dr Sharma for my general dentistry needs several years ago (cleanings, cavities etc.), and immediately knew I was in the right hands. Each member of the staff, from the front office to the dental assistants and hygienists, treats patients with kindness and consideration - and follow up with an excellent service.I always felt insecurities regarding my front teeth - and that is where Dr Sharmas cosmetic expertise came in handy. She took so much time to listen to exactly what I wanted and worked with me to create my perfect smile. The final result was even better than I imagined and I am beyond thankful to Dr Nina Sharma for making that happen.Thank you!
This dental office is amazing! All the staffs are really sweet and friendly. The doctor is great. I got my brace here for almost 2 years and everytime i see them its like i am visit my friend. They know what to do with my teeth. The office is so clean and price is reasonable. I am so happy to be here and have my family here every 3 month!
Ive been coming to this office for years, and continue to be so happy with the care I receive every time. I had previously put off going to the dentist as I did not feel it was a priority and felt my own self care of brushing and occasional flossing was sufficient. This office was recommended by a co-worker; what a game changer for me! The hygienist, Amber, is kind and knowledgable and taught me how to take such good care of my teeth in between my regular visits. She has so many tips that have really paid off for me. The office has early morning hours that work great so I can make it to work on time. Dr. Sharma is also a 5 star dentist; very kind and thorough. So happy to have this team helping me to keep my teeth healthy and in good shape.
I had a wonderful experience. The treatment coordinator Tiffany was Awesome with explaining my treatment and the benefits over long term. Definitely recommend to my colleagues!
Ive been a patient of theirs for about a year now, in which Ive visited multiple times for a variety of different services (I hadnt gone to the dentist in 3 years when I first came to them...!). Each time without fail Ive walked away feeling like I got a 5 star service. The staff is welcoming, attentive and genuinely wants the best for you and your oral health!
Dr Sharma and her team are fabulous.All aspects, from preventative maintenance to implants, are covered at their Irvine office.I highly recommend OC Dental Specialists for first class dental care.Service with a smile!
We love visiting OC Dental, the staff is courteous and friendly. They really go out of their way to help you with scheduling. Me and my girls are doing braces here and Dr. Sharma, Dr. Clark and all the technical staff always make sure we are comfortable and satisfied after each visit. Thanks!
Ive been afraid to go to the dentist let alone search for one since moving to Orange county. Even worse one of my crowns came off and I knew I had to find a dentist fast. I was dreading the whole process to look for a dentist. Luckily Dr. Sharma was able to fit me in the same day. They were very pleasant and worked with my insurance. I was very impressed with the thoroughness of the cleaning and the advice that I was given.Im so happy I found Dr. Sharma. The office was warm and friendly and everyone seemed happy!
I had a tooth another doctor ruined with a root canal. I left it there because I wanted to get an implant. But, the tooth got an abcess and was very painful. I went to Dr. Sharma and oh my! She was wonderful!!! She started me on antibiotics and I am feeling so much better! I have an appointment next week to pull the tooth and start my implant! Thanks you so much, Dr. Sharma!
I am so glad I found OC Dental Specialists. Dr. Sharma is so awesome and the dental work she has done on me is pain free! Highly recommend going here😊
BEWARE. Went to OC Dental Specialist to get a cleaning. I had x-rays done. Afterwords, the dentist talked to me about how much build up I have and that the office manager would explain to me the treatment plan. Office manager shows me the cost breakdown (image). She stated that my insurance would not be billed because I have an HMO and that I have a fee schedule for my plan. Essentially I would pay a price that the office and insurer negotiated. They are telling me the work is going to cost me 240 for a cleaning and 1200 for a tmj device for a total 1440. Happens I work at UCI, and have excellent benefits and insurance. I make a quick call to my insurance company, explained to them the office visit and gave them the Charge Codes. Guess what, i have a 0 cost for everything. I called the office manager and explained to her that I talked to my insurance company and told her that everything is covered under my plan. She said that the cost was because of the laser, I pushed back and told her that the cleaning was all inclusive per the insurance company. She told me she would call me back after she talked to the Dentist. Guess what, she never called me back, so I called her and she said that she still had to talk to the dentist about my case. I asked her why she had to talk to the dentist instead of my insurance company. This is where it gets funny, she stated that dentist office cancelled their contract with the insurance company yesterday (how convenient), and she was asking the dentist if she would honor my insurance. She told me she would call me back by the end of the day. I called the insurance company again, and they told me that they were still contracted with the dentistry office and that I should change dentist because of how suspicious the office manager was acting. Office manager never called me back naturally. This office has very dishonest practices. I would not be surprised if they are double billing the client and insurance company. Dont sign anything from them that will make you liable to pay before consulting with your insurance company. I would give them negative stars.
The technician was very personable and professional and she explained in details the service that she was performing. She also gave me good advices on how to maintain and clean my teeth properly.I would highly recommend this establishment. Thanks
Every member of the team was amazing- they were so friendly and put up with me being a baby. To Dr. Sharma herself- absolutely amazing. She is not only caring and compassionate, but clearly an expert. When the X-ray sensor holders they put in your mouth in the far back made me gag, she held the sensor herself. I had a very long and complicated procedure, but I never felt any of the numbing shots, and she constantly paused to make sure I was doing okay. She also explained to me what she was doing and how she was doing it during my procedure. I told her beforehand that I like to know what is happening because it helps me feel more in control.
Hi,I did two root canals and several cleanings here, It was my first dentist since I moved here 1.5 years ago I found them on yelp, i hope my feedback can help you to choose the right dentist :Positives:1- Dr. Sharma is very kind and responsive.2-The office location is very convenient.Negatives:1-The staff change all the time, I did each of my cleaning with a different hygienists. The same issue with the dentists!., I did my root canal three weeks ago with a doctor there and after two weeks when i returned I was told that the doctor is gone! and when I asked why, the assistant told me he just said goodbye and left!.2-The front desk is not very well organized. 95% of the time I had to wait 45 min to 1 h for the appointment, when i complained about this, i was told this is normal if you go to a dentist!.3-I had root canal on an abscessed tooth, The doctor forgot to give me antibiotic and I had unbelievable pain because of infection, I had to call and finally got a prescription for antibiotic and I finally could sleep after two nights. simply lack of experience.4-In overall: not very experienced/professional and poor discipline.5-They give you too many consent forms to sign, please read them before signing.
I cant recommend Dr Sharma and her team enough. Took the time to explain everything AND were conscious of my time and insurance. Thank you!!
I just moved to Irvine in April and I had no idea which dentist to choose. After doing some research I found Dr. Sharma and booked my first appointment. I have been thoroughly pleased with my decision thus far! The service and attention provided to each patient is truly unparalleled.
I love the office. Staff are really fiendly and welcoming. Got my first cleaning there and everything was excellent. I would recommend them.
Im so happy I found this place. Ive become like family to them. Dr Nina is so caring and listens to your concern. She understands cosmetic dentistry like no one else. Very detail oriented and very professional. The staff is also amazing and very knowledgeable. I came in for some major work and Im so glad I did it. Super stoke I found this place.
I gave them a 5 star in the past but I am changing it to only 2. The main dentist is a very nice lady and another lady who did deep cleaning for me was great too. But I am very disappointed in their business practices. They were supposed to work on most of my front teeth and based on my dental insurance, they quoted me $300 per teeth and $300 for the lab per teeth. Two months later when I was ready for the process, they changed it to $900 per teeth (increased it by $300 per teeth) and used an excuse that the old quote was for metal something instead of procelein. They basically changed the price for no reason. Even worse, the insurance company (Delta) assured me that with my insurance they should not have quoted the new price. Pretty sad since the lady dentist is a good and qualified lady. But I guess they are under financial stress and need to increase the revenue and have chosen a wrong path for that. Once you promise something (I even had it in writing) don’t change the price...
1.0 star rating 2/13/2017Scary dental practice and i will recommend to stay away from unprofessional like them. Read all reviews with low scores and they will tell the similar horror stories.I visited them to get one filling refilled, front desk staff extract all your insurance info in advance and they will give financial details to Dr. so they can extract as much money possible. If you have premium insurance you will end up getting more not needed treatments done as they will create horror story around that.For me they wanted to get whole mouth x rayd and told 4 cavities which i never felt visually or orally. Thought have insurance why not get them fixed. Then Dr. did treatment without anesthetics and punched cuts around 4 teeth.After few days one of them got infected landed up with Root Canal (RC) luckily didnt go with them but other place and they did pain less dentistry.Felt other 3 teeth they drilled very deep and it gave pain for almost 8 weeks now. Drilling deep will have high chances of patient returning back to them for further RC treatment.They made my life horrible as i didnt had any pain when went to them then 4 fillings, causing tooth infection (may be there hygiene is not up to standard) ended up in RC and then bad treatment of other 3 tooth.STAY AWAY and AVOID PAYING THEM $$$ and PAIN FOR YOURSELF.
I had my cleaning done a few days a go, and it was a very good experience, all the people that works there and the doctors are excellent, very good service, and everybody made my visit very comfortable, i have also referred some friends to this dental office and they did a very good job with them...
Best dentist ever! I have been going to Dr.Sharma for a few years now. She is warm and friendly and you instantly become comfortable with her. She takes her time and explains everything. The staff is very courteous and polite.
Amazing dentist! Super friendly staff! Knowledgeable fast and clean! Don’t go anywhere else!
Wisdom teeth removal was literally painless. I am extremely surprised how there was no pain before and after the removal. On top of that, Dr. Ho checked how I was doing the next day and a few days after. Thats great doctor right there. Will be referring friends and family there. Thanks Doc!
Dr. Sharma and friends are more than a delight to have working with me to achieve a comfortable smile. Making me feel like I’m home and always wotking around my schedule to see me. Come see for yourself you won’t be dissatisfied.
Cleaning was good and thorough and I got called fast so I didn’t waste time.
I found OC DENTAL SPECIALISTS through the Yelp reviews given for Dr. Sharma I needed to find a new dentistry since moving back to Orange County. Im also getting married in a year and want to fix up my smile before the wedding. Based on the reviews, website browsing and a few google searches, I decided to make an appointment.I do have severe dental anxiety, especially with the needles, so its important for me to pick the right place to feel safe, and like theyre not trying to up-sell me on surgeries, procedures, etc that arent actually necessary. From the moment I spoke with Tiffany on the phone, I knew I was in great hands. All of the staff here is friendly, attentive and treat you with care.After looking at my x-rays and chatting a bit with me about what my goals are before the wedding, Dr. Sharma and team got right to work with a plan on making my mouth healthy first and foremost.Yesterday I went in for the first of two scaling appointments. Dr. Sharma has a gentle hand and an incredible bedside manner. Im a true mess when those needles come around, and she made me feel at ease. They gave me a stress ball (shaped as a tooth) for me to use and have my hands distracted.Im very happy I found Dr. Sharmas office. Shes thorough, kind, been doing this for 20 years and I believe will have the best plan for me. Her staff truly do treat you as family.I will update of course as we continue on with fixing up my smile. But if youre reading these comments considering making an appointment or switching up your dentist, do it. You wont regret it.
After decades of routine dental treatment, my visit to OC Dental Specialists today was far and away more thorough and more enlightening than any previous one. Dr. Sharma spent more time explaining than my previous dentist had done cumulatively over the past 10 years.
Im sure most people also hate going to the dentist but Dr. Sharma and her staff were fantastic! The office is clean and welcoming the service is friendly and informative. For the first time I have found a dentist I trust and even enjoy seeing. The best dentist in Irvine.
Cleaning was good and thorough. Good job like always.
I absolutely love Dr. Sharma and all the staff here! They all feel like personal friends, theyre so nice and make me feel special... They also provide wonderful service and have a caring touch with all their equipment.
Be careful this is a very dishonest money oriented dentist. they advertise they are a dental group with a variety of dental specialists. it is actually a general dentistry office with only one female dentist who is so so. All she cares is to get paid. Before dental work starts, they ask you to pay the patient responsible portion after they figure out how much payment they will get from your insurance company. I understand they want to get paid just like every other business. However, the dishonesty is they gave you one written estimate before the dental work and then gave you another significantly larger amount bill afterwards. You asked them why the amount is different. they simply said they underestimate and sorry.
This was the best experience my daughter has ever had a dentist office!! We have been to several over the years, but Dr. Sharma was so amazing and made her feel so comfortable and put my daughter at ease right away. She had my daughter smiling the whole way through. It was our first visit to this office so my daughter was very nervous. She had two cavities filled, and the Dr. didnt even have to numb her. Quick, Efficient, and Painless. I couldnt ask for more. When we left the office, my daughter said, I LOVE THAT DOCTOR. We will definitely be returning to see Dr. Sharma for all future appointments.THANK YOU O.C. DENTAL SPECIALISTS!!!Dr. Sharma and her team were AMAZING!
My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Sharma for several years. I never had any issues or problems with their services or customer service. They are very accommodative in scheduling cleanings and surgical procedures. They provide me with estimates for any treatments/fillings, etc. With Dr. Sharma’s education, knowledge, and experience, we won’t go anywhere else.My teeth are very sensitive so the hygienist needs to clean them by hand scrapping them without the cavitron. No problems every time! Thank you.Btw... Tiffany is so patient, understanding, and cognizant of my sensitivities. She is an excellent fit for this office as she knowledgeable, very personable, and friendly.It was great to catch up with you and your family Dr. Sharma. See you again soon!Thank you.D.S.
I have been a patient of oc dental specialists for last 6.5 years. Dr sharma is by far the best dentist that i have ever seen, she is highly knowledgeable, courteous and a great listener. She has avery calm and personable personality. They have a great appointment system that sends you text reminders. The office is always clean and efficient. Front staff has always greeted me with a smileI am always very comfortable when i go there despite being a dental phobic. I have had all kinds of procedures here besides my maintenance cleanings. My children have had there braces here.I have had invisalign, followed by an implant and crowns. Not to forget i first came here because i needed a root canal i was terrified but Dr sharma assured me that i would be ok . She was so gentle and thorough i didnt feel a thing neither during or after the procedure. Love Dr sharma andher staff .
Dr sharma was wonderful. Very professional but caring. Answered all my questions and made my teeth look perfect! Also my kids love her!
A caring and professional dental services. Highly recommended.
Ive been going to Dr. Sharma and her team for over 3 years. Always prompt and professional care. The dental hygienists at OC Dental Specialists are knowledgable and thorough while making your visit as pleasant as possible. Dr. Sharma & her team go above and beyond to make sure any and all concerns are addressed, while never pushing for extra services or products. Ive never waited more than 10 minutes beyond my appointment time, while on multiple occasions Dr. Sharma has been able to accommodate me on very short notice. Excellent service, will keep coming back!PSA: Remember to floss!
My families experience was great. This place exceeded my expectations. Everyone was friendly. The office was very professional. I would recommend OC Dental.
Best dentist in Irvine! I chipped my front tooth and have had many dentis do the bonding but it always fails. The bonding has never failed from OC dental specialists!!!!
Our family is using the dental services provided OC dental specialists from last couple years. So far I have not seen such a prompt service from any dental office. Team at the OC dental is patient oriented and is always looking for the solutions what are best for patients.Staff is highly qualified and have the right expertise to satisfy the needs of the patients.
I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in October of 2015. I was placed on permanent disability and was given 22 months to live. My life changed overnight! As if things weren’t bad enough already, I haddeveloped a disease called osteonechrosis, which was a side effect from drugs used to support my system during Chemotherapy and ultimately caused me to lose 7 of my lower teeth. It was painful and devastating.Through pure luck, I was referred to Dr. Nina Sharma of O,C, Dental Specialists, Before even touching my mouth, Dr. Sharma asked me a multitude of questions...such as, “how do you feel?”, “are you in pain right now?”, “what do you expect from us?” and much more. Very professional, but always warm and kind! I had found my dentist!That was over 3 years ago now...from quarterly teeth cleaning to ongoing pain management, Dr. Sharma, her personable Office Manager Laurie and her friendly staff of dental assistants make every visit a comfortable and pleasing experience.If you are looking for a dentist to care for you and your family’s dental needs...your search is over! I highly recommend Dr. Sharma and her wonderful staff at Orange County Dental Specialists!
Truly Unprofessional. I worked for Dr. Sharma on a 9-18-17, it was a full day working interview, I decided to take another position. The next day I informed the office manager, Natasha, and gave her my address whereto mail my paycheck. I have contacted the office 6 times stating I have not received my check. ShamefullThat they have no intentions of paying people who worked in good faith.
When seeking a doctor, it’s difficult to find someone unquestionably adept and genuinely caring. In OC Dental Specialists, led by Dr. Sharma, the search was over after the first appointment.Over the duration of almost a year, I have visited the office nearly a dozen times, primarily for cleanings and Invisalign follow-ups. In doing so Ive inevitably met most everyone who works there. The dental hygienist (Vicky), the dental assistants, and the front office staff are all friendly and warm.Dr. Sharma is really lovely. She explains clearly and thoroughly and listens patiently; shes calm and composed as she works (and so youre then calm and composed); and she doesnt recommend unnecessary work.There was an incident where some mishap (I forget what exactly) occurred. I called to see if I could come in to have it addressed as I was flying overseas soon. Dr. Sharma was pregnant at the time. I believe it was her rest day and maybe also the weekend. Despite all that, she made a trip to the office to help address my issue.The kindness here isn’t a transactional one. It’s real. And I really appreciate it.Had I known of a practice like this when I was younger, I would not have been so apathetic in going to a dentist--and Id now have a few less cavities and one less crown.
Best dental experience ever! The staff was friendly and Dr. Sharma did a thorough check of my daughters teeth and found that she didnt have all the cavities the our first dentist had diagnosed. If you want quality dental care where they are not just trying to get your money, come to OC dental specialist. If I could give a higher review I would. Perfect 10.
DO NOT GO HERE!I had been going there for a few years now, but recently i noticed every time i noticed, a cleaning needed to be done, an xray need to happen, this needed to be done, that needed to be done. Then i started realizing that UPSELLING was happening. For a loyal customer, they were charging me fees for work that they had done, but had no recollection of doing.Hygienists leave constantly - dont think ive had the same person, I WONDER WHY? Need to treat patients as patients not dollar sings as they come in through your door.
Horrible experience with a crown, do not trust the small operation.Dr. Sharma filed a crown that was improperly set, I now have a flat crown. Very unsatisfied and was reported to my insurance company.The anesthesiologist Dr.Trujillo was not professional at all and was told I had complications during my procedure. Never given a real explanation to what happened, disappeared after I woke up. Too important?Dentist is sketchy to say the least and is after your insurance/ hard earned money.
I had an appointment January 12 at 3:30pm. When I showed up your office was closed. I left a message and nobody ever returned my call, explained what happened, or apologized. I will never return to your office after receiving such terrible service.
Had trouble finding insurance card and Joanna at front desk was so nice and helped get info. Thank you all for helping solve my short notice exam.
Excellent front desk service. Friendly and professional. The doctor made me feel at ease and comfortable
The dentist and hygienist are great. The problem is that the cost they present to you before the procedure is not the cost you end up paying. For general maintenance cleaning, I paid my copay and then received a bill of an additional $50+. For fillings, I was offered a deal of the day by one of the office managers, paid the price beyond what the insurance covered and now have and additional $150+ bill, as they didnt have any paperwork regarding the special deal I was quoted right before the procedure. Lesson learned. Always get copies of any prices quoted. Not doing business with the inflated prices these folks ask for that you will be paying out of pocket for later.
Dr. Sharma and the whole team were so kind and caring. She has a very gentle hand.

Dr. Sharma and her team are super nice and professional. I had my root canal here and it couldnt have been a more pleasant experience except for it if it were free. Lol. 100% recommend!
Dr sharma was great. Caring and professional. Would highly recommend this office.
I love this place I got my braces put on here almost two years ago.
Courteous professional caring service highly pleased
OC Dental SpecialistsMy best experience returning to seeing a dentist. Especially the staff that was in contact with me was Natasha as the famous Office Manager, Elizabeth as the Receptionist and Dr. Nina Sharma D. D. S., Liz as Dental Assistant, Denise as Hygienist, Shadi as Dental Assistant & Megan as an Insurance Biller was amazing, friendly, & courtesy. I am ready for next appointment. :)
Dr. Sharma and her staff are lovely and trustworthy. I wouldnt go anywhere else!
I love this office. The doctor and staff are amazing.
Real 24/7 dentistry. I called several emergency dentists on Sunday morning at 7AM only to reach answering services and message machines. When I dialed OC Dental Specialists, Dr. Hada actually answered the phone. By 10AM, I was leaving the office pain free! On a Sunday!! Very professional and great bedside manner. A big thank you to OC Dental!
I had a such a positive experience that I wanted to share my visit. I came in to check this place out through a groupon deal. I was so impressed with the caring attitude of the staff (thank you Vivian!!) and the professionalism of Dr. Sharma that i became a regular patient. Last week I brought my daughter in who subsequently needed braces. The orthodontist was thoughtful and placed my daughter at ease and it became a stress free visit for both us! So the other reviewer who said that this is not a multi-speciality office is i think mis-informed!I highly recommended this office for your kids and adults like me!
OC Dental specialists are professional and capable dentistsKudos to Dr Sharma for running a tight ship
This is the best dental office in Irvine. Dr Sharma is an amazing Dentist, super gentle, her cosmetic esthetic work is superb, I have been at the practice for about 2 years and each time I have a great experience.Dr. Sharma is the first dentist Ive ever been to who has been able to numb me for dental work with virtually no pain. After a biking accident and losing some front veneers, I went to Dr. Sharma. When the initial veneers came in, the color was very slightly off so Dr. Sharma took the extra step of having someone from the lab come into his office so that they could both determine the appropriate color. The resulting work is amazing - the color is perfect and the shape is better than what was there before.The office is high tech, very clean, the staff is very caring... What a fantastic staff! Not only have all the staff been super friendly, but they are whole-heartedly understanding with regard to the financial burden that dental work can have on even a stable budget. They have worked so hard and fast to get me in and provided me with every financial solutions resource available to lessen the stress. I am so immensely grateful for the treatment Ive received both professionally and personally.Im sooooo happy I found Dr. Sharma. All the reviews I read were spot on.
I highly recommend OC Dental Specialists. Ive been going here about 7 months (2 cleanings, and one filling appt) and am throughly impressed. Today I went in to fix an old front tooth filling that was done poorly at a previous dentist, and was discolored. I basically needed a new 1/2 front tooth. This filling required anesthesia, and I was pretty nervous because Im a wuss about needles, and have never had a shot in the gums. Dr. Youngquist took the time to explain all the steps, and used a super-strength numbing gel - I didnt feel a thing. Dr. Youngquist then patiently perfected the color of the filling, and shape of the tooth. It looks really great, and his attention to detail is evident. This office can definitely handle cosmetic issues!
A friend of mine referred me to Orange County Dental Specialists, and Im glad they did. I was looking for some cosmetic work, and couldnt have been more pleased with the results. I have told others about your services and I hope they call soon.
