Komae Glen T DDS

Can’t say enough about Dr. Komae and his team. The staff is super friendly and work with your schedule. I have a huge fear of the dentist and I felt completely at ease. My hygienist Marcia was amazing!!! Dr. Komae doesn’t push procedures on you. They honestly have your best interests at heart. If you need a dentist, come see Dr. Komae and his team !

Not only is Dr. Komae the best, he’s also just a great all-​around guy. When I chipped my tooth the other week, he fit me in on short notice and got me all fixed up. I highly recommend him. Your teeth are in good hands!

Sadly, in this business, there seem to be fewer and fewer trustworthy people out there who are truly out for the health of their patients.
I saw Dr. Komae today, at the referral of my dear parents, who had been seeing him for over 10 years. He was gentle and patient, letting me rant breathlessly and almost tearfully for 20 minutes straight about how terrible my last experience was with Dr. Niu (see my review for Irvine Dental Group). Dr. Komae explained that my sensitivity to cold was probably due to incorrect bite, which I knew I had after the awkward filling job I received prior. He buffed down some of my fillings, and calmed my fears, letting me know that I didn’t have any new cavities and that my gums were in good shape.
He explained that many dentists out there will «jump the gun» when they see a stain on a tooth, and perform procedures and fillings that just aren’t necessary. The dental hygienist was just as nice as the doctor, and assured me that they would not do anything without my approval first, and that they would not suggest any unnecessary procedures. This should be a GIVEN at ANY dentist’s office. But unfortunately, I learned first hand that it’s not true.
Step-​by-​slow-​step, I’m getting over my fear of going to the dentist.

Our whole family has been going to Dr. Komae or Dr. Lake for over 20 years, then last year, our insurance was changed and we had to visit another HB dentist who claimed my son needed all this work done and most of it wouldn’t be covered by insurance… So glad that we will be able to come back to Dr. Komae in July!

My family and i have been going to Dr. Komae for over 20 years. I have been to other dentists closer to my home, but I always come back to Dr. Komae who is honest, trust worthy and doesn’t do procedures that are not necessary. I just hope he doesn’t ever retire LOL.
