Who doesn't love a bright white smile? The good news is there are a variety of products and procedures available to help you improve and get the smile you always wanted! Here are the two most common methods. This procedure is often referred to as chairside bleaching and takes about an hour to complete.
A healthy looking smile will surely enhance your overall physical appearance, allowing you to smile more frequently and freely! Most people only realize the obvious benefit of orthodontic treatment, which is to get a straighter more natural looking smile.
But what's often overlooked and more important is that orthodontic treatment such as braces or Invisalign are effective treatments used to correct a "bad bite" or malocclusion - a condition where your upper and lower teeth do not align correctly.A malocclusion could lead to more serious problems relating to facial structure, chewing, and longevity of tooth structure.

A crown is one of the most effective and versatile dental treatments. They are used to restore the strength, function, and beauty of a damaged tooth. For example, when a tooth has sustained a large enough cavity, much of it's strength is lost due to the void that was created and the tooth becomes too fragile for daily use.
When your tooth is damaged enough where a filling cannot effectively treat it, but is not damaged enough to need a dental crown, you end up with a problem that is somewhere in the middle. The treatment that is most effective for this condition is called an inlay or onlay porcelain insert.
In this particular case, using a large filling would require the removal of too much tooth structure, and risking further damage in breaking, cracking, or needing of a root canal.However, opting for a dental crown treatment might be too conservative and may not be necessary. For larger cavities or decayed areas of the tooth that require a large filling, our office uses either a dental inlay or onlay treatment.

One of the most unprofessional places I ever been too. Went in for my cleaning and I can hear the assistants talk horribly about someone weather it was personal or work related. You don't do that in front of patients. I can only imagine what they said about me ! The doctor is ok. I will not go back to this office . Disgusted with how management is ran here .

Came here because of all the positive review. Both my husband and I came here got crowns and some other works done. Almost 2 years later, finally went back to the dentist (different dentist) after Covid. Found out they've done a horrible job on my husband's crown and now there's a cavity underneath and our insurance won't cover it because it's only been almost 2 years. Mints will not take responsibility on their poor quality of work. They said we had to come back within 6 months for them to replace the crown they've incorrectly done.

I hate to leave negatives reviews because I understand that things happen. Unfortunately with this office it's been one thing after another. I first went into this office because a family member recommended it and the dr seemed to be very nice. After the first visit everything kind of went down hill from there. The dentist recommended to do a crown and a few filling and I scheduled my appointment for both. Upon coming in for my crown appointment and having my tooth drilled into, the dentist told me the tooth next to the one she was working on needs a crown as well, At that point I asked her

Before coming to Mint Dental I had been with my previous dentist for over 20 years. I had coffee stains on my teeth that my dentist could never remove during “cleaning“. Dr. Ngyen was able to clean my teeth and make them sparkling white with only one visit!!! I was so pleased with the results that I almost cried. I didn’t think those stains would ever be removed. Now I smile with so much confidence. The staff at Mint Dental is just the best. I could not recommend them more highly!

After going to an amazing dentist for over 15 years, I’ve struggled finding another office that meets my high standards. Until now! My son, daughter, and I had a fantastic first visit to Mint Dental!! From the initial phone call, the email and text communication, greeting as we walked in, the beautiful office, the tech, the hygienist and the dentist...it was all a 5-Star experience! We’ve already booked our next cleaning!

I normally do not like going to the dentist, but Mint Dental is a well-oiled machine that it is a pleasant experience. I have had 2 cleanings and a crown. I appreciate they are very upfront about the costs and emailed me a treatment plan with breakdown of pricing few days prior to my crown appointment. The crown appointment was pretty seamless. I would highly recommend Mint Dental!

I accidentally mixed up the dates of my treatment. I was charged $75 even though I rescheduled to a new date. I understand the need to charge if a patient no shows. But given that I had the intention of doing the treatments on a later date, buyer beware: This place punishes you for mistakes. Promptly canceled my future treatments and will be taking my business elsewhere. Hope they enjoy my $75.

The cleaning is not good. They did it 20' for cleaning and tried to explain to me that they used ultrasonic which is a new technique for cleaning the teeth.
They also did ultrasonic on my husband even we insisted that we did not like this technique.
I had a new dentist and asked her about ultrasonic. She explained it is a first procedure to soften the plaque before she does scaling and scraping I realizes that Mint dental OC lied to us about their cleaning.

I frankly hate the dentist and I always will, BUT every time I come here the entire staff is super friendly. The area is always clean and their work is always good. The wait time is average. I had to go through a routine cleaning. Most dentists uses anesthesia for even deep cleaning, which made me really uncomfortable. The cleaning process here was easy and simple, and I didn't have any problems with them.
I was able to get my teeth cleaned, and enjoy my healthy smile. I love coming here 1 to 3 times every year and they take several forms of payment that's affordable for me.

Had my deep cleaning done by Taylor. Two visits over three days. She was very accommodating. She helped me feel comfortable as I hadn't had much work done on my teeth in many years. I guess you could say I hate going to the dentist. I'm using the word "hate" here.
And I guess my last dental visits were with "old school" dentists. Some of the new experiences:
- I can listen to my iPhone music via in-ear headphones while they're scraping and drilling.
- I can wear sunglasses to dim the bright lights dentists/hygienists need to successfully care for my teeth.

Mint dental OC is the best dental office in Yorba Linda.
Dr. Nguyen and all her staff have always been very professional, kind, gentle and makes you feel like family. It's where everybody knows your name. The office is very nice and clean with all the modern technology needed for superior professionalism. The patients have 100% confidence in her if she says something needs to be done or should be done. Dr. Nguyen is my favorite dentist. Unfortunately, I'm no longer her patient due to my moving. I am going to miss Dr. Nguyen and her staff very much. I hope to find another dentist as excellent

This is my very first time giving reviews my whole life . Dr. Nguyen is an excellent and incredibly gentle dentist. She listens to her patients and does not recommend unnecessary dental procedures that many other dental providers do . My prior dental provider is trying to find something wrong on my mouth to get more money 💴 and they charge it way over the normal price. I have a great deal of respect for Dr. Nguyen and her staff , they’re all awesome . Mint dental office is also very beautiful and creates a relaxing ambience.I highly recommend Mint Dental clinic

First time there last week and will be the last! After full xrays, Dr Nguyen told me her diagnosis which was deep cleaning and some cavities and a crown that was needed. However I had a deep cleaning done 7 months ago. I asked if I can only have basic cleaning and the crown and cavaties done and she straight refused to honor my wishes because it was "her recommendation" for me to have a deep cleaning. More like force me to have work done to increase more money in her pocket when I UNDERSTAND that's what the diagnosis and recommendations was. However as a patient of yours, since I

We use to live in Placentia and when Mint Dental opened up across the parking lot of where we went to the gym (L A Fitness) my husband decided to try it out. then I decided to go too because I tired of him ranting and raving about the atmosphere and the care he received. I LOVE Mint Dental OC and when we moved down to Mission Viejo 2 years ago, we changed all of our doctors except for Kim ( Mint Dental). I don't mind at all driving the hour to have Mint Dental take care of my teeth and oh my what a bunch of "happy faces" that work there and such wonderful care we get. That is one Dentist that I

Hands down, the best experience I've ever had at a dentist's office. Dr. Nguyen and staff were very welcoming, friendly and caring. They've given me every reason to be confident that my decision to choose this office was the right one. I actually look forward to my next visit. How many people can say that about going to the dentist?

Wanted to update my review after my second visit for my biannual checkup and cleaning!
Dr. Kim was out of town so I was informed that I would be seeing Dr. Nicole who joined the practice late 2015. She's lovely -- extremely friendly and kind, and she seems like a perfect fit for the practice. She was gentle and thorough with her cleaning and she took the time and attention to educate me on what I should be doing better. All around wonderful experience. I again loved the vibe of this office and the personalized care I received.
I also requested a copy of my x-rays for me to just have on
