JC Cadena, DDS MS

Awesome place! I have been to Dr JC for most two years. During this two years, I feel welcomed all the time. The stuff are very professional and welcoming. Dr JC is awesome and can always find a way to start conversations. The office is always neat and clean. My teeth are taken care of very well and I am so happy for the result. For anyone who is considering getting braces, this is the right place to go!

Man, my teeth is so crooked. Throughout the treatment I kept asking why my teeth weren’t straight but they kept saying I see nothing wrong. they did take out all my gaps that I had but when I smile my front four teeth are slanted. And yes, I wear my retainers everyday. :(waste of money. Should’ve went to another place now that I think about it.

We are almost into our 2^nd year and my son’s teeth are looking great. I have liked how, no matter how busy they get, they will try to squeeze you in especially when something breaks. We have only ran into problems with Friday’s being closed since that’s the day when our schedules are free in the afternoons, but that has not stopped us. They constantly hear from us to change appointments and they are so patient and helpful. My son’s treatment is not being rushed and he loves this office.
We started our younger daughter (8 years at the time) for treatment in September. She had to start early due to over crowding and really crooked teeth. All of her 4 front teeth are looking very nice and there is so much difference from when she first got them on. Her braces were all over the place and looked funny at the beginning because of where her teeth were; that is not the case anymore. Overall, we have been happy with Dr. Cadena and his staff and we make sure to wear the shirts and check in on Facebook to get the word out.

You would love this practice. Dr. Cadena and his staff are always friendly, professional and really nice. This office is great with children but as adult who’s been going to this office for Invisilign for over a year I can tell you this is a first class office. It’s been a great experience.
I highly recommend Dr. Cadena and his staff. I’m happy with my new smile. :)

My son had his treatment done here and I am overall happy with the treatment Dr. Cadena has done. I am not happy with the staff, a staff member lied to me about the scheduling. I was told «We vary our schedule from day to day so we are able to meet the needs of all our patients.» this is a lie and it is also on their website. The days are Monday through Thursday and I could never get an appointment after 445 p.m. I am a mom that works full time and has a busy schedule. I would not have gone here If i knew they could not accommodate my schedule.

Wish I didn’t already pay these people. Crappy hours. Tues through Thursday the hours on their website and on here are incorrect. Hard enough to make an appointment when your kids cant miss school let alone deal with these hours.

There are so many great things about Dr. JC and his staff! I went to him between 6^th grad up until early freshmen year of high school! My teeth were straight before braces, yet I had canine teeth that need to be removed! In order to keep my straight teeth, I had to get braces to make sure the new teeth would grow perfectly! I loved going to my Orthodonist appointments! The atmosphere was great and I felt very welcomed! I loved my Orthodonist more than my Dentist! If I had any issues with my brackets, wires… etc they were always willing to help! From the beginning stages upon getting braces, everyone loved to help! I love the system they had! Upon arrival you would sign in on the computer, they you would grab your folder, check the chart schedule for the chair you would be sitting in and just wait to see the Doctor! I loved the fact that there was always something going on in the office! There were always parties hosted by the team at local bay area places that were suitable for all ages! There were always a lot of contests as well, which were always fun! I went all of my years to Dr. Cadena’s old location near the Regional Medical Center of San Jose! The location wasn’t the best and parking wasn’t great, however inside it was awesome! There was a really cool fish tank that was fun for the kids to watch and the office was always decorated for different holidays! They had such a great structure and organizational routine! I haven’t been back since I took off my braces and got my retainers, so I have not been to the new location! I hope to go back soon and pay a visit! I would love to see the new location! They were always sweet to me, in fact, they let me keep my braces!

My husband got his braces here. They are super friendly, respectful, and professional. Their office is beautiful and modern. I like going with him.

Loven the doc and Sara
Now… the good news is, my braces from like 15 years ago, really did the trick. The bad news is that the retainer that my old ortho provided me with, actually created a small gap between my otherwise «perfect» teeth. I came into the office today, to realign my retainer, which is quite frankly a straightforward and financially reasonable task. In doing so, the Doc. pointed out some «opportunities» for change (the small space, etc)… and I’m strongly considering correcting them.
In-​fact part of the reason, I’m considering the work so much, as opposed to a simple realignment of my retainer, is because I kinda-​sort-​a fell in love with the staff. I have found myself thinking; «well if I just get a retainer, then I don’t get to see these people any longer… but if I get my gap closed… I get to see them for a few more months!»
Now, I must say i was a little standoffish at first when I first met Sara, but drooped my guard immediately. It is so rare when individuals in position to provide you with a service, sale it to you in an ethical, and non demeaning way, especially when aesthetics are concerned. I didn’t feel self conscious when in the office at all! Not even, when the doctor was discussing options about my small gap! I mean what better way to sale beauty than, to make people feel bad about their appearance?! Well… that may be so… but that certainly isn’t how this office does business!
That being said… I’m not afraid to add; Dr. Cadena is pretty hot, for someone who could quite possibly be my pop’s age! Yeah… the pic of the staff, here on Unilocal… does them absolutely no justice. Sara (directly behind the doc) is also beautiful, fellas! Um… why is this important, you ask? Because who really wants an unattractive dentist with a bad set of teeth working in their mouth?
Yeah… I’ll let you think about that…

Very professional and friendly. Would definitely suggest a visit.

Friendly staff, nice new office. Dr. Cadena always has a smile on his face.

Not sure where to start. I normally don’t write reviews but I felt it necessary to let everyone know how awesome Dr JC AND his entire staff are! I first took my son last year just to get a 2^nd professional opinion. His dentist thought he should get braces ASAP but he was only 7 at the time. Skeptical, I wanted to be sure so I brought him to Dr JC. His staff was very welcoming and informative from the get-​go and the service only got better. Dr JC was very thorough during the consultation and my son was at ease the entire visit. Dr advised it was too early to determine the need for braces and wanted to monitor my son for the next year or two. He assured me that we’d be in contact and he definitely kept his word. We received reminders and a courtesy call almost a year to date from our first visit. His staff is seriously on point.
The second visit was just as exceptional as the first, if not better. They had moved to the Alameda St location and the layout of the new office very much matched the vibe of the team.. open, modern, welcoming, and professional. I also appreciate their respect for time. Your appt time IS your appt time! They take you earlier if time permits, but NEVER is it delayed. Very important for those on a time constraint.
Although my son may not need braces for a while, I love that Dr JC is keeping an eye on his progress. I know what to look out for and expect so when the time comes, there are no surprises. My son looks forward to his visits here :)
I absolutely recommend Dr JC to anyone shopping around for an experienced, super kid-​friendly, honest orthodontist! Dr JC and his team are passionate about their service and enjoy making their clients happy. The new place is great, but I really do feel that it’s not the place, but the people who make the experience so thank you to Dr JC and the team!

Had my braces put on here. Dr. JC was nice. The staff was amazing. However, once I got my braces off I noticed some shifting in my teeth even with my constant wearing of my retainer. Dr. JC informed me that it would happen but it would be minimal. I have received no follow up appointments or even a call back. I had an appointment and had to reschedule due to a death in my family. I left a message but received no call back. That was almost a year and a half ago. My Husband also went to get a retainer there and he too has not been called for any further follow up appointments or check ups. I feel like after I paid for my services they no longer cared, which is a little disheartening after you put so much time, effort and finances into it. My bottom teeth are still not 100% straight and that is what bothers me the most.

So far so good, the staff is friendly, the office is very clean, and everything seems to be going well. Their consultation was extremely informative and thorough, the rates are reasonable, but a little more expensive than all the other places I checked out. I will update once my two years are up!
They are closed Fridays, Sats, and Sundays. Right across Regional Hospital, but you have to bust a U-​turn and go down that tiny street to get to this place.
*UPDATE* They have moved to «The Alameda St» and their office is SO NICE!
