Ocean Smiles Family Dentistry

I was referred to Dr Chen by pretty much my entire family. My mom, my sister and her kids have all been coming to see Dr. Chen for years. After not being to the dentist for a long time I finally got the nerve to make an appointment, not just for me, but for my two sons as well. I can tell you that I wish I would’ve been braver much sooner. It was the best experience I have ever had at the dentist. Dr Chen was amazing with my 7 year old and he, his brother and I all look forward to our visits!

Dr. Chen is the best! He always makes sure that I’m feeling comfortable during my procedures because I have a small mouth so it’s hard for me to keep it open or have it open too wide. He is very accommodating when it has anything to do with discomfort. He is also very gentle with his hands so I don’t really feel anything. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Chen for all of your dental needs!

The staff and Dr. here are amazing! The friendly office staff is always willing to help and provide a great service. Dr. Chen is professional and mindful when working on my family’s smile. He takes the time to explain the procedure (s) that he will perform and makes you feel comfortable enough to ask questions. Highly recommend this location to work on your smile !

AWESOME DENTIST! I had been putting off going to the dentist for sometime due to my work schedule. I called Dr. Chen’s office and Yolanda was able to get me an appointment within a few days. The staff is pleasant and Dr. Chen walked me through what I needed to get my teeth in order. I had a filling and cleaning done a few hours ago. The numbness has passed and my mouth feels no pain. I strongly recommend Ocean Smiles Family Dentistry and actually look forward to the rest of my scheduled dental work. Thanks!

Very professional and friendly staff! Would highly recommend. I came here when my toothache started and Dr. Chen immediately assessed and remediate the problem right away. The procedure went flawlessly; very little pain/​discomfort, timely and affordable. They also coached me on dental hygiene and provided financial advice for the work I was having done. Since I started coming here I have had two root canals (it had been years since seeing a dentist before coming here), deep cleaning and a filling, all of which went without any problems. Now I feel that my gums and teeth are significantly healthier than before and I now upkeep good dental habits because of Ocean Smiles.

Great Dentist Office! I been coming here for many years and I had not had one problem. Every time I come in everyone is very friendly and polite. Dr Chen does an amazing job! I had a wisdom tooth pulled out recently and Felt NO pain! I woke up fine the next day as nothing happen! Overall great dentist to go to and will continue coming!

It’s been awhile since I’ve been to the dentist and dr. Chen was amazing! I was so scared but he was very calming and has such a soft touch. Amazing! I highly recommend!

Very kind staff! Dr. Chen is very patient and kind as well. They are very welcoming. Never had any issues here and I will continue coming back.

Love the service and how well they take care of you here! Dr. Chen is amazing at his job and really gets to know you and make you feel comfortable.

I came in as a walk in and was greeted in a very welcoming way. Staff is very nice and friendly. I got a deep cleaning and my appointment was exactly at my appointment time. No waiting long hours which is great and convenient for a student like me. I highly recommend Ocean Smiles to anyone. Dr. Chen and his staff are very professional and friendly. Office is clean and neat. Will definitely be coming back for future procedures.

I was visiting from Taiwan and had some teeth problem. A friend recommended this place. Great staff and Dr. Chen was very nice and gentle. The dental work was reasonably priced and I was very satisfied with the result. Highly recommend to anyone!

I was referred to Dr Chen because I recently switched dental insurance. Dr Chen himself actually took the time to explain questions I had regarding my veneers and he wasn’t pushy about forcing me to make decisions. Overall he made me feel really comfortable about everything.
He also gives me cost options in terms of out of pocket costs which was really helpful. For example my dental covers 80% and copay is 20% but Dr Chen doesn’t even collect copay for common procedures like root canals, deep cleaning, and fillings. He told me he does this to save patients from paying out of pocket so he gets paid thru insurance. Its pretty awesome. All of my past dentists collect copay. (Just to make sure it isn’t a «you pay for what you get» situation, I checked his credentials. He went to NYU College of Dentistry which is rated top 5 in the nation. Safe!)
Later on I found out that he reads/​speaks fluent Chinese as well so I referred my mom to him because elders tend to feel a little more comfortable asking for things in their native tongue. Elders tend to stick with old dentists but they always have very dated dental technologies or use dated dental practices. Its nice to have my mom go to a younger dentist thats in tune with the latest dental technologies and practices. My mom needed dental implants. Coincidentally his office is right down the street from my moms place so its super convenient and theres plenty of parking. Not hard to find at all. The staff was really nice and super helpful too. Super happy that I found Dr. Chen.

Dr. Chen is very caring and always checking to see if you are comfortable. His prices are resonable and staff was great. His receptionist was very accommodating and help fit me in his busy schedule ASAP due to a chipped tooth.

Dr. Chen is very professional, he even spent extra time to show me how to floss and brush properly because of my receding gum lines, teeth cleaning use to hurt at other dental offices, but Dr. Chen was able to make it pain free for me, his office is very clean, and the ladies that work at his office makes me feel at ease with their friendly smiles. I would definitely recommend Dr. Chen to my family and friends.

I went in for a regular checkup and cleaning. Dr Chen is always friendly and knowledgable. I learned a lot about maintaining my teeth and gums while he worked, and showed me certain areas on my teeth that I should be aware of. Getting your teeth cleaned is not usually pleasant, but I actually learned a lot of useful info and got in and out quickly. I was also given a gas gift card for being a loyal patient. Nice touch and Thank you!

Dr Steven Chen is awesome! He is very friendly and helpful with making you comfortable. I would recommend this location to family and friends.

They have never kept me waiting. Your appointment time is actually the time they see you. Unlike most dentist

I was referred to Ocean Smiles by a friend. I am so glad to find a dentist I am comfortable with. Dr Chen is great! And his staff is so friendly and wonderful!

Just recently moved back to la from the oc. Really wanted to stay with my old dentist in Irvine because they were so nice but I figure I might as well get this over with and look for a new dentist. My coworker referred me to ocean smiles and I have got to say dr Chen is a great dentist who actually cares for his patients. He takes his time to answer all of my questions and most of all really honest and conservative. There are way too many dentists in la that are just looking to make money off of their patients but dr Chen is not one of them. Looking forward to my next checkup:)
PS they have great parking and the girls are very helpful

Great staff! Always friendly welcoming. Both husband and I come here and we love it! Dr. Chen is the best ! Make you feel very comfortable and at ease.

Awesome Dr and office. Came in to fix a cavity. Got me in quick and had very reasonable prices. Will be coming back for my regular checkups from now on. Two thumbs up for Dr Chen and his staff!

Dr Chen was awesome! Went in for a check up and cleaning. Staff was super nice. Did not have to wait and gave me a thorough cleaning. Def no upsell pressure here! Would def refer my friends and family here:)

Went to Dr Steven for routine checkup and he found out I had a cavity. Definitely something you do not want to hear but what can you do. Dr Steven did a great job in fixing my cavity and the process was painless and simple. Thanks! Definitely will come back again
