I broke a tooth and called the Cottage Dental office. I was given an evaluation appointment very soon. They throughly examined the tooth. Took pictures and x-rays. I was counseled by a very kind and understanding dentist who explained the damage and gave me several repair options. I was in a bind with an upcoming trip and they went well out of their way to fit my repair appointment in before I would leave. Again I was so impressed with the care Cottage Dental shows their patients . 8/24/22 In recent years I noticed my teeth had shifted considerably. My formerly good occlusion was now making chewing difficult. Every morning my teeth would ache from grinding. I broke 3 crowns in 4 months. Dr. Kim's solution was Invisalign. I worried how my heavily repaired, senior teeth would hold up under a treatment plan I thought was for much younger, healthier teeth. I had a number of issues, real and imagined. All were addressed to my complete satisfaction by Dr. Paco and the Cottage Dental staff. My occlusion is so comfortable now I enjoy chewing too much. Although I still grind at night my teeth are positioned and supported such that my mornings are pain free. The retainers will make sure they don't move again. Thank you Cottage Dental for bearing with me and bringing me to a functioning and comfort level I didn't believe was attainable at this point.

Who wants to go to the dentist? NO ONE! But....if you are a patient at Cottage Dental, you are in great hands. In fact no sweaty palms or frazzled nerves when you enter this office. From the office staff to the dental assistants to the dentists, every person you encounter is terrific. I have visited this office often getting dental cleaning and cavity refills with such gentle care and ease. Last year I decided to try Invisalign to help realign my teeth and bite after not wearing a retainer after my metal braces were removed years ago. Invisalign is incredible. No more mushy goop in your mouth to get an impression. Easy photo with a wand taking seconds in your mouth. You receive plastic invisalign retainers that you change at home every four days. You can even eat with them on! This retainer didn't interfere with speech or comfort. I have finished with the initial phase of Invisalign after six months and very happy with my "new" look - straightened teeth and comfortable bite. Now I am on to the next phase where I wear a more permanent plastic retainer. I will wear for a few weeks all the time and then after that, only in the night while sleeping! Compared to metal braces and having to go in for tightening like a screwdriver tightening a bolt every few weeks for a couple of years, this experience was easy and painless and fearless. I would recommend this group of dentists to everyone for any dental need. They are experts in their field and very caring and GENTLE! Have no fears when you need dental help. COTTAGE DENTAL is the only place to go! Every dentist in the office and every assistant cares about you! And guess what....when you have an appointment at a specified time, you get right in!

Should have come here sooner! I used to go to a large dentistry group in Fullerton, but I always got the feeling I was being up-sold services I didn't need. After going to Cottage, my suspicions were confirmed. Turns out my teeth weren't going to fall out if I didn't get the procedure the other dentist was telling me to get. Everyone at Cottage Dental was very friendly, professional, and informative. I felt very comfortable and the chairs even have a massage function and TV. I've definitely found my new dentist!

I have been going to Cottage Dental for over 10 years and they always take exceptional care of me. I never have to worry. They do only what is necessary and I don't fear of being taken advantage of as I would anywhere else. Whether getting routine cleanings, a filling here or there, or Invisalign, it's all been handled exceptionally.

Their scheduling protocols are effective and efficient and their level of care is top notch.

Dr. Paco has seriously change my perspective of going to the dentist forever. My first visit to cottage dental was due to an emergency visit, I had serious Gum pain! I was taken in and Dr. Paco did and emergency procedure/ deep cleaning for my gums. The next day I was immediately relieved of so much pain. My next visit was my check up and I found out I had 5 cavities, and took 2 visits after that to have healthy teeth. Then love the idea of having straight teeth so I decided to get Invisalign. Dr. Paco has made my teeth so pretty! Because of Dr. Paco I no longer have a fear of going to the dentist. Now I can't wait to go back every chance I get! Thank you Cottage Dental!
