The entire staff at Smiles4OC is knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming! They all work to make your time in the office and in the chair as comfortable as possible. Dr. Rolfes takes plenty of time to listen to his patients and ensures they understand their options. From scheduling to cleaning to payments, each member of this staff is patient and kind and here to put patients first!
I would recommend them to anyone who ask!

I could not happier with my recent visit of having new front teeth veneers installed. Dr. Tom Rolfes and his entire staff we’re incredible. Every appointment was exactly on time, super professional and completely painless, Dr. Rolfes was a perfectionist during each procedure who completely explained our game plan throughout. I highly recommend giving Dr. Rolfes a phone call for your dental visit.

I cannot get over how incredible this dentist office is. From the front desk staff, the assistants, Dr Do and the hygienist: they all are so friendly and make you feel so comfortable and welcome. I have never enjoyed going to the dentist until I started coming here. Dr Do has amazing bedside manner and will come out and speak with her clients in the lobby and just catch up. Everyone remembers you and goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable. They do not scare you into spending $$$ on your teeth and are incredibly honest. I will refer everyone I know here. Thank you all!!

I’ve had two visits so far and everyone I have met have been wonderful on every level. I’ve got to work with two dentists and both have been phenomenal. I’m 7 months pregnant and for me to be comfortable my entire time says a lot about the environment of this dentistry.
Highly recommend!

Dr. Tim Rolfes and his incredible staff at Smiles4OC are all amazing human beings!! Yes, they’re running a business, but it’s more like coming home for me when going to the dentist. Side Note: I’ve had a lot of dental work done over the years, and my fair share of unfavorable dentists/specialists. But, not here! From the beginning, Dr. Tim has known about my past experiences and has gone above and beyond in treating me with the utmost respect, sensitivity, and precision. Talk about paying attention to detail! When in the chair, he always walks and talks me through what he’s going to do

Dr Rolfes and the team at his office are amazing. The front office staff is warm and welcoming and efficient! The Hygienists are excellent. Dr Rolfes is a perfectionist in his work. I’ve had him call people from the lab to come work with him and me to make sure caps are a perfect match to my other teeth.
To say my teeth are a land mine is an understatement but I’ve always felt I was in the best hand with Dr Rolfes.

I cant say enough about this place. I have avoided the dentist for nearly 13 years out of pure fear and anxiety but once I was sat on the chair getting my teeth drilled it dawned on me that I was nervous for nothing. Dr Timothy J Rolfes and the staff are Very good at eliminating fear and any worries i had. I can say i thoroughly enjoyed my dentist visit and that i am now looking forward to building a nice smile with this team. Thank you smiles4oc.

The staff here is amazing!! They are hands down the most thorough dentist office I have ever been to and make the entire process really enjoyable. Dr. Tim Rolfes seems to genuinely care and enjoy his work. He took the time to go over everything with me and explain in detail what we'd be doing and why. Their equipment is state of the art, and I quite literally left with a smile...pun intended.

Came for a consultation. Dr Rolfes was terrific - took extra time to explain everything and answer all my questions. Sunni (?) was awesome too - very gentle taking x-rays - she'll be a great dentist with her compassion. And Shawna is top notch in the front office - very friendly, but definitely knows her stuff!

The entire team at this office is "amazing",not only are they "amazing" humans, but they are all "amazing" at what they do. It is like going to a friends place, because from the time I step into the office, to the time I leave, I am so well cared for and everyone is so attentive to my needs. Thank you for the positivity you bring into dentistry!

Horrible!! I am already leery of dentists but this office came highly recommended to me by multiple people. Not only did they charge $1500.00 for a procedure that most dentists charge $400.00 for, but ALL 4 TEETH (3 of my husbands and 1 of mine) have caused serious pain and have had to be redone by another dentist. Do not pay their OUTRAGEOUS FEES AND DO NOT TRUST THESE DENTISTS!!!!

I’ve been going here since we moved here. This place feels like a home away from home. I don’t even know how to describe how wonderful everyone at this office is. Everyone here is amazing❤️. Any time I’ve ever had a problem they go out of their way to help me feel comfortable and that’s so hard to find when it comes to the dental office. I’ve had a few bad experiences. Cant begin to talk about how understanding they are as well. There’s no way I could go to another dentist office. These guys have set the standard.

I really appreciate how in-depth of an exam Dr. Rolfes performed! He not only examined my teeth, but he took the time to explain his findings and what we can do about them. He is also incredibly personable, asked me about myself, and remembered my husband. I really appreciate that about him. The rest of the staff is also SO friendly and personable. I feel very taken care of, and I would absolutely recommend this office!

Wonderful! Everyone here is wonderful. I came to Dr Rolfes office with a VERY BAD mouth conditions.
I had problems with local anesthesia, and Dr Rolfes works with Dr Yun (anesthesiologist) to put me under general anesthesia so that they can take out my 2 wisdom teeth without local anesthesia. I have 0% pain after the two wisdom teeth extraction!!! Nothing, even after a few days. Dr Rolfes technique is amazing!!!! I then have other root canals and filling with Dr Dunne, who is a very nice and gentle. I love his techniques as well. He made crowns for me and other fillings. I feel so great to get

Recently my dentist retired and I was on the look out for a new dentist. I was told from a friend to try Smiles4OC and I am so happy I did. From the initial meeting with Dr. Rolfes to my recent cleanings everything has been professional and surprisingly easy. They have state the art equipment and the staff is so friendly. I have just started Invisalign treatment and I am looking forward to a great result. I would highly recommend Smiles4OC.

Have been going to this office since I was a child - I always see Dr. Rolfes! They've helped me with all sorts of teeth issues throughout the years. Recently I went in for some bonding to lengthen one tooth that was significantly shorter than the other, and to smooth out my jagged canine teeth. i always thought my smile used to look a bit juvenile because it wasn't smooth, but now it's all fixed and I'm ready to take on my senior year at college! Thanks Dr. Rolfes!

The Smiles4OC team is the best dentistry team around, hands down. I've gone to them for fifteen years, and even since moving away, I happily make the two-hour drive to their office because they are the only crew I will ever trust with my smile and my sensitive teeth. Aside from routine appointments, I've had both cosmetic dentistry and a gum tissue graft recently. In both instances the team has demonstrated their superior precision and skills, and I felt very comfortable knowing I was in great hands. As with every visit, I had everything clearly explained to me beforehand- and the

Let me start by saying that I have an extreme phobia of dentists, but the staff here knows that and navigates around it awesomely!

They really go out of their way to make sure I'm comfortable (no easy task) they really know what they're doing!

By now I've had Drs Rolfes, Do & Dunne work on me for various reasons. They are all so wonderful, kind, reassuring, they're the best at what they do.

The entire staff is nothing short of excellency at its finest, again I say this while having the worse phobia of dentistry, so you know I really mean what I'm saying.

Best dental office ever! I've worked here almost two years now, and will never leave! The type of attention and care I see this incredible team give to every patient is amazing. I myself went through Invisalign and had all my treatment done here! Dr. Dunne replaced the two crowns I had that were poorly done at my last office and Dr. Rolfes got me through a year of Invisalign to now have beautiful straight teeth! This is the place to go if you're fearful of the dentist! Dr. Do also sees all the children and is so great and calmly with them!

Got recommended by a high school friend of mine and went in for a new patient exam and cleaning. Staff was incredibly friendly and my hygienist Lisa did a great job getting out over a year's worth of coffee stains. Unfortunately I will be moving up to San Francisco soon but Dr. Do was happy to give me referral to other dentists in the SF area. Who knows... I might just have to fly down in 6 months to get my next cleaning in OC!

P.S. their heated neck pillows are pretty great!

LOVE the vibe in this place. From a nervous nellie who does not like someone working on your teeth this place will make you feel at home. My family has been coming here for many years on the advice of a previous Doctor who retired and we couldn't be happier. My husband has had extensive work done over the years and his teeth couldn't be better taken care of and my son has been coming since he was little.

We have seen all the dentists in the office but I mostly go to Dr. Rolfus who's calm demeanor is what I need to get through my appointment because I have such anxiety when it

A breath of fresh air!! I had a dental emergency while my dentist was out of town. A friend of my recommended Dr. Rolfes to me, who ironically was also out of town!

The office staff was so kind and told me to come right in. I had a very positive experience from the moment I arrived. I was quickly taken back to meet Dr. Do and her assistant. This entire office made an extremely uncomfortable experience a pleasant one!!
Not only would I HIGHLY recommend their office, I am switching!! They can even see my children. I can not say enough good things about Dr. Do and her office!!
