Smile Implant Center

All the way Zero, the worst dentist ever… I wish this Dr Teich and his partner goes to h*ll. I don’t really know why california gave him his dental license back. His license was revoked in Arizona. I am pretty sure his operating somewhere in California. He did a terrible job and cost me more money. I hope that you will never practice dentistry again. You lying s*n of a b*tch.

My implants is finally completed. I’m happy with it. Comparing to some prices, I think their price is reasonable. I paid with Care credit which gives me 12 months interest free. They moved to smaller facility in Santa Ana. I guess their expense is over their head at the Newport Beach.

No response to my letters, phone calls, nothing! I lost $ 1400 plus the pain I went through. I didn’t pursue this in small claims and I’m not sure if there is a statue of limitations but what ever you do people don’t go here. THEY ATE THIEVES PREYING ON INNOCENT PEOPLE!

I never write reviews but, this place of incompetent doctors and staff have made my life hell. Go somewhere else and do yourself a favor. I’m currently sueing them for my money back so I can redue the whole process over again with some else who knows what there doing. What a waste of 2 years. Please!!! bewhere

The only thing good about this place is that it’s near Fashion Island.
Art E. really does sum it all up perfectly — it’s one thing when customers are lost and confused, but the staff seems just as out of the loop! I’ve been bringing my mother in law here for the past year and each appt. has been at least 4 – 5 hours long. Ridiculous. To top it off, they’ve stopped providing parking validation.
Don’t be lured by seemingly attractive pricing. DO NOT COME HERE or you’ll be sorry.

OMG! Spent 4k on one implant, and 9 mos later still do not have the tooth. CRAZY!

This is assembly-​line dentistry at it’s very worst. You’re not even a number here, just a temporary scribble on a whiteboard while you occupy a particular room.
When I showed up for surgery, they put me in a room and left me there for almost FOUR hours. No one came by to check on me, or to offer me some water, or even to tell me how much longer I’ll have to wait.
When it was my turn for surgery, they took me to another room. All of the sudden a team of masked people entered the room. Without saying a word (not even a «hello»), they tied my hands down and placed a towel over my eyes (I opted to be awake for the drilling – a terrible decision, don’t do this! The sensations and noises are frightening!). When the drilling was over, the team simply walked out and left me in the room with no one there to watch me until an X-​Ray tech finally showed up.
When I went back to get the «impression» done, they again put me in a room forever. Getting restless, I stuck my head in the hallway, and noticed several other patients milling around, looking for anyone who could explain what the heck we were waiting so long for, and how much longer we’ll have to wait. I had to schedule a second appointment to take care of something that should have been done in a single visit!
These arrogant S.O.B.‘s don’t understand that some people actually have jobs to keep, and can’t afford to sit in their swanky office all day waiting for zombie staff and dentists to work their way down the line. Every employee has a particular role in the assembly line, and they won’t so much as look at you until you’re at their station. The arrogance and indifference shown by every staff member is astounding!
The only positive things about this office are (1) the cost for implants is lower than most places in the area, (2) the dentists do a good job of placing the implant, due to the number of procedures they do and their level of experience.
However, there are many other centers opening up that specialize in implants, and they, too, are starting to offer reasonable prices and experienced dentists. In the end, it’ll come down to how you treat your patients.

it’s a long story and I don’t have the energy. got the implants put in 6 months ago — I may have given them 4 stars then — then went for a check up, but the contacts at the back weren’t good and my dentist said that was important, so they took them out. Trouble was, they forgot to put cotton in one of them, so it took 3 hours — of drilling down. Horrible.
Yesterday I went to have them refitted and it was worse. Found out they had broken the base with the drilling and anyway, long story short I ended up in the chair for 5 hours. What a horrible day. Anyway, the outcome is, they feel OK, the back contacts are better (they had to make a completely new one, coz of breaking the base), but one of the front ones is a bit iffy, but I’m not going back and going through that again.
Still, for the money I guess it’s OK. If anyone has any questions, they
can email me at
. Just wanted to give some feedback.

I sent my Girlfriend here to have a cap replaced that was lost. When I picked her up Her estimate was $ 2700.00. This was for tooth extraction and implant. I would not recommend them to my worst enemy.
Good luck

Seriously. Someone JUST called from there — in the middle of April, 6 months after I’d called for a week asking for the tax id and a name of a dentist, asking if I was still interested. NICE. Thanks for being on top of it guys. HELL NO I’m not interested.
