Patient Reviews of Our Irvine Dentists

“First dentist I’ve had that has listened to me and been so patient. Dr. Samonte-Mora fit me in very quickly and was willing to work with me even when I told her how numbing doesn’t work for me… She was so patient with increasing the numbing she used and explained everything as she did it.”

“I recently had some non-trivial dental work done and it was probably the best experience I've ever had at a dentist. Two appointments and zero-pain. I know, I know -- sounds impossible.”

“I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Tamer Elnaggar in order to address some root canal work. I cannot say enough good things. Not only was he thoughtful, considerate, and gentle with the numbing process. He was honest, caring, and did not cut corners.”

“Never had a dental experience with such care. Don’t try to upsell you anything, the whole staff is warm and friendly… Also if anyone has sensitive teeth or gums, I had the most gentle cleaning and care I’ve ever had in 30+ years.”

“This was the best dental visit i've ever had. Friendly office, updated equipment, thorough teeth cleaning and wonderful dentist. I'm always waiting for the upsell when I visit the dentist for the first time. Not at this office.”

“I’ve been a patient of Dr Samonte for over 10 years and she is simply amazing. Takes a conservative approach to her patients and does not upsell or recommend unnecessary treatments as some other practices do.”

“I came in for a second opinion and left feeling confident and assured I did the right thing… My second visit was very bit as good. A routine cleaning, which is thorough and not uncomfortable at all, followed by a quick exam and out in about 30 min!”

“Professional all around, staff very knowledgeable, caring and amazingly gentle. Always find ways to reduce fees and make sure best insurance coverage is offered. Highly recommended.”

“Dr. Caviar fixed my chipped front tooth. It was a painless procedure and came out looking exactly like my real tooth; smooth, same color and perfectly shaped.”

“My crown fell off over a weekend; on Monday afternoon they saw me and did a great job. They caught an issue with the previous crown that two other dentists missed that it was defective.”

“Dr. Elnaggar has an excellent bedside manner. He is kind, patient, and truly takes the time to listen to his patients’ concerns without making them feel rushed. He explained everything clearly and made sure I was comfortable throughout my visit.”

“My family and I have been coming to Sand Canyon Dental since I was 3 years old. Dr Samonte and the entire team here are so amazing. Everyone says they hate the dentist but haven’t been here!”

“We have had some Great dentists, but Sand Canyon Dental outdoes all of them. The staff could not be more outstanding and the office is simply Gorgeous, not to mention they are in an easily accessible location in Irvine.”

“I love the care and excellent service. Lovely staff and so happy to have found this group! Dr. Caviar takes the time to talk to you and is a doctor that genuinely cares about her patients!”

“Best dentist I’ve been to in a while! Everyone is so friendly and the hygenists and dentists are very detail oriented. Very glad I found them!”
