Ashley L
"This place is amazing. All staff is beyond nice and knowledgeable. I came in as a new patient as an Emergency tooth removal, they made me feel so safe, and comfortable.... hands down best hands that take care of you , especially when you may feel at your worst."
David B
"Tooth extraction was smooth and no discomfort. I have had previous extractions and this is the first done by an oral surgeon. What a difference. Easy, no pain and no cost difference from my regular dentist. Recovery was basically nil as I have had no pain, swelling,or discomfort. Lucky!"
Jenna F
"I'm giving Orange County Centers for Oral Surgery 5 STARS! If you know me, I am VERY afraid of any kind of dental work! So to have surgery done on my mouth, you can only imagine the anxiety I had just walking in the door. From the moment I walked in, it was a clean, calming."
