Dr. Sam and his staff are all warm, welcoming and extremely professional. The office is very modern - even the imaging is all done from the dental chair. There's also a TV mounted to the ceiling so you can watch while you're being worked on. Dr. Sam and the staff constantly made sure I was not feeling any discomfort or pain, and were very considerate the entire time. Thank you Maria, Tiffany, and Dr. Sam!

So happy I found Dr. Sam and team. They're reassuring, gentle, and communicate everything clearly so I always feel in the loop. Best dental experience ever and excellent results. The office itself is clean and beautiful which calms my anxiety from the moment I step in and the admin/paperwork side is well organised and respectful of my busy schedule. I can't recommend them enough.

This is the best dentist office I ever been before. Super clean and very nice talking to everyone. I have one broken tooth and went to their office. Dr Samuel explained every detail to me clearly and scheduled the earliest appointment for me at the same day because i did not have to wait another day to take off the bad tooth. I appreciated everyone's wonderful help and services to reduce my toothache so quickly. 5 stars and high recommended for everyone who need a professional dentist.

Like many others I have a strong aversion to visiting the dentist. Probably because I've had a long history of sub-par dentists. But Sam and his staff have completely flipped my perspective. The staff is kind and friendly. They follow all precautions regarding Covid so I feel safe. Sam's bedside manner is excellent and they really helped me out when scheduling services around my schedule. But best of all they have TV'S MOUNTED ON THE CEILING. I've watched almost all of the Queen's Gambit on Netflix during my cleanings and fillings. I'm happy to have found a Dentistry near by that I don't dread visiting. Sure it's still tooth stuff, which sucks, but at least they make the experience bearable.

I came in needing a new crown as my old one broke. I was referred by a colleague of mine to go see Dr. Sam. I was impressed with the systems they use to schedule an appointment. Everything was very fast and convenient. I was able to fill out the paperwork on my phone digitally before going in for the appointment. Once I arrived, I was warmly greeted and immediately taken back. The whole office is very clean and I felt very safe with their safety protocols amidst this pandemic. Dr. Sam evaluated my tooth and explained everything thoroughly with pictures and xrays. He helped me get my new crown that day with their new technology. In the past I had to go back to my dentist a few times to get a crown put in. He was very gentle and was able to make my new crown the same day. I am so happy I found this office and I am very pleased with everything. Thank you!

I went to Fresh Dental to get one of my wisdom teeth out and Dr. Sam was great in doing the procedure for me! I could barely feel the local anesthesia shot and absolutely felt nothing when he actually pulled the tooth out. No more pain or bothering! I highly recommend Dr.Sam for dental problems:)

What an amazing team and beautiful office. I was having a toothache and Dr Sam and his staff were very accommodating and understanding throughout the whole appointment. Tiff was very welcoming and took my X-rays. Dr Sam was very knowledgeable and skilled in handling my procedure and I was very satisfied with the services received. The location was very easy to find and I will definitely be back for all my dental needs.

Came here to get my old crowns replaced on my front teeth. My old crowns were worn down and I hated how it showed a gray line near the gums. Dr. Sam explained to me that he could fix it. The procedure went very well and his assistants, Tiffany and Maria were very helpful throughout the whole process. I am very happy with my new front teeth as they look very good! Highly recommend this office!

I've been doing to Dr. Sam for almost about a year now and he and his team are hands down the best team! His assistants are so fun and sweet to get along, I almost forget I'm there for my appointment since we chat a lot! Dr. Sam really informs about my oral hygiene and makes sure to give his 100% care, I actually LOVE going to the dentist now :)

I recently moved to the area and came here due to the reviews and a massive tooth ache. I'm so glad I did. Fresh Dental made getting a crown as pleasant of an experience as humanly possible.

I came here for teeth whitening. I've had a couple friends come to this office and they were all happy with the results so I decided to give it a try. I just got my braces off today and I have a big event tomorrow so I wanted to try teeth whitening for the first time. First of all, the office is really nice and the staff were very friendly and warm. Dr. Sam and Maria walked me through the whole procedure. I was a little scared at first but they quickly made me feel comfortable by allowing me to take off my shoes, get comfy with a cozy blanket. They also gave me the remote to watch Netflix while I was laying back. The whitening session itself was comfortable. Dr. Sam and Maria were very gentle while performing the procedure. I watched tv and they turned the lights off so it was relaxing. After it was done, I saw the results and was super suhappy!!! They got so much whiter! Now my teeth are straight and white! I would highly recommend this office!

It took me two years to find a dentist in OC and I'm so happy that I chose Dr. Sam and his team at Fresh Dental! They are all awesome and so accommodating to just about everything. Any questions or concerns I had, they sat with me and walked through it all. Dr. Sam even opened up shop at 8PM when I was in pain just to make sure I was okay. If that's not a good doctor then I don't know what is! And not to mention the ambiance of the office is just absolutely perfect. It's literally everything I could've asked for in a dental office. 1000% recommend him and his team to anyone that is in need of a dentist!

Let me start off saying that Dr.Sam and his assistant Tiffany are truly the best at what they do. Not only do they provide excellent dental services , they also exceed expectations of a dental office. They are committed to making your dental experience the best. The office is beautiful and perfectly up to date and not to mention it's super neat and clean. I went in today to get my first filling and my experience was wonderful. Dr.Sam is gifted at giving those lidocaine shots. He's so gentle , I hardly felt the needle ! Tiffany knew I was nervous and she went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable. I really appreciate all their hard work and I'm so thankful I found such a great Dental office ! So if you're looking for a great dental experience, this is definitely the place to go !!!
