The staff at Newport Bay Dental are amazing. From the moment I walked into the office I felt right at home. After my old dentist retired 10 years ago, I have never been able to find a dentist that I liked. A good friend recommended Newport Bay Dental and I can say with confidence that Newport Bay Dental will be my new dentists! Dr. Boerner and the staff at Newport Bay Dental didn't try to sell me expensive treatments that I didn't need, or leave me sitting in a chair in agony for almost an hour, these are just a few of the terrible experiences I had at other dentists in OC. Dr. Boerner has definitely mastered the "chair-side manner" that many dentist, unfortunately, never figure out. He will make you feel at ease, calm your anxiety, and give you a very pleasant overall experience. I used to hate going to the dentist, but I actually look forward to going to Newport Bay Dental because I know I will have a positive experience and I'm sure you will too!

Finding a dentist you trust is not an easy task. My husband and I have been through a few in a short period of time. Dr Boerner is great! He has fixed mistakes that the last dentist's we've been to have made. He is competent and has a relaxed manner that puts you at ease. His office staff are great too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr Boerner!!

My EXPERIENCE at NEWPORT BAY DENTAL was astounding!! All the way from Ruthene the Adorable,gentle, lovely, kindhearted and honest Dental hygienist to the Dr. hisself, Dr. Richard Y. Boerner! I have to tell you all that are reading this editorial, every word of this is a FACT and I must tell you, should you go into their office, YOU are in for a "ONE OF A KIND TREAT-and a party in your mouth!" Not to mention the WORK OF ART the Dr. will be performing inside! I kid you NOT!! IT is like none other! When I went to Dr. Boerner, I was referred, and skeptical, but from the moment the Wonderful Hygienist, Ruthene spoke to me and began her exam, I knew the rest was going to be a cake walk! When Ruthene was finished she introduced me to the Dr. and He looked at the x-rays! He asked if I wanted the good the bad news first, then chuckled! I let out a sigh, Dr.Boerner said, just teasing, and then said actually, your teeth look pretty good! Here is what needs to be done now, then in 6 months, and a year from now... and so on! I then asked if I could have all the "silver" removed" and have ALL WHITE TEETH put in...he said yes and that he would give me the cost in a few minutes! When he came back, he said my insurance would cover the MAJOR PORTION, and then I could pay out the remainder! That was so easy!! After the insurance paid - they sent monthly statements and I paid what we agreed on and I had a beautiful smile in no time! Plus - Dr. even whitened my teeth with ZOOM at a discount and we actually became FRIENDS when it was all said and done!! After reading this, I hope you too will make the choice to go see Dr. Boerner and Ruthene at Newport Bay Dental, they truly are amazing and wonderful practitioners!! Make an appointment TODAY, you will be glad you did!! Sincerely, Charles and Tim

The care and overall treatment services performed at Dr. Boerner's office far exceed expectations! The administration staff is professional, courteous and helpful. The dental assistant is very conscientious and attentive to the patient's needs. The dental hygienist is extremely friendly and also very attentive to the needs of the patient. And finally, Dr. Boerner is extremely detail oriented and driven to perform only the highest of standards in patient treatment to always assure his customers that they are in the best of care. Much appreciation and thanks to you, Dr. Boerner and to your staff - for all that you do!

I've had to go in twice for different checkups other than X-rays & cleaning (in the last 6 months) and Dr. Boerner & his staff have always been very polite and professional. The hygienist is fantastic as well. I'd strongly recommend this Dental Practice.
