I really enjoyed my experience here at Smile by Design. They have a really friendly staff, and Dr. Choi is very precise and professional.
I've been Going to Dr. Choi since he moved to the lovely Irvine location- about 18 years ago maybe? Not only is his work consistently the best , but his care, manner, concern, humanity, always fantastic and cheerful staff makes a tough experience always a joyful one. (Literally- yesterday happened to be Dr. Chois birthday and his group surprised him with a cake and song while I was waiting for the anesthesia to set for a surgical procedure. It made me relaxed and happy to know I was in the best of hands.) I can't recommend this practice higher. I would give them 6 stars if I could!
Love this dentist office. Helpful and pleasent staff and amazing Dr. without overcharging.
I love Dr. Choi! He is very thorough and explained everything he was doing. The front desk is amazing! I love this office!
I had an outstanding experience with this office. My previous dentist quoted me a price for just one implant. When I came here, they completed two implants and a replacement crown — all for the same total cost I was originally quoted elsewhere. Beyond the pricing, the service was exceptional. The entire team was welcoming, professional, and genuinely cared about my comfort throughout the process. You can tell they truly prioritize patient care over profits. I’m extremely grateful I made the switch and highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, high-quality dental work.
I've used Smile by Design for several years now and have always received the best service. They are the only place I trust for my needs. Dr. Choi has the top notch skills that no one can compete with and his staff is the genuine and kind.
I’m really glad I found Smile By Design. Dr. Choi takes his time and makes sure you fully understand what’s going on and what your options are. The consultation felt thorough and well planned, which gave me a lot of confidence moving forward. Big shout out to his entire team as they're just as impressive and everyone is friendly, patient, and professional. Overall a very positive experience.
I had a great experience at Smile By Design. Dr. Choi is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to go over everything very thoroughly. I really appreciated how well thought out and detailed the consultation was and never felt rushed and felt fully informed about my options. Also, a big shoutout to his entire staff as everyone is patient, kind, and professional. You can tell they genuinely care about their patients. Highly recommend!
Saved My Natural Teeth! Exceptional Skill & Care I live in Dana Point and visited two other local dental offices before coming here on a referral. The difference was night and day. What made me happiest was the honest treatment plan. While the other local dentists insisted that I needed full crowns, the doctor here recommended inlays instead. I was so relieved and thrilled to receive a treatment that preserved much more of my natural tooth structure rather than grinding it down. The level of detailed examination and explanation was on a completely different dimension compared to the American dentists near my home. The Korean dentist's touch was incredibly delicate—Koreans are famous for their dexterity, and you can clearly feel the depth of experience here. Everything was perfect. I also want to express my special gratitude to a staff member named Amanda. She was so kind and warm throughout my visits. I was particularly touched by how she helped distract me during injections and other procedures; her thoughtful care made a huge difference. If you are looking for a dentist who prioritizes saving your natural teeth with delicate skill, I highly recommend this place.
I am very satisfied with my dental implant treatment at this clinic. The implant procedure was done smoothly with minimal pain, and the recovery was much faster than I expected. The results look very natural, and the dentist and staff were professional, caring, and attentive throughout the entire process. Highly recommend this clinic
