Cottage Dental

Out of all the dentistries that I have been to, Cottage Dental is by far the most friendly, clean, and helpful business. Every time I go for my cleanings I am helped by Maddie, Diane, and Dr Paco. Amazing and kind, thank you for the great service.

I was really impressed by the service at Cottage Dental. All of the staff were very caring and compassionate and fully understood my needs. It’s not as high tech as some of the other places in Fullerton (with the movies and tv screens on the ceiling) but honestly, the technician that worked on me, made me much calmer than any movie would have. (They do offer movies but you can’t really see the screen when they are doing the cleaning). Will defiantly continue to use this office for my dental needs.

Back in for a checkup. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Diane and Dr. Kim are awesome and super friendly. Dentist visits are never fun but they make you feel at ease

Tiffany, Karla and Dr. Kim have always made my trips to the dentist a comfortable and fun experience. For one, Tiffany (front desk) is always welcoming and extremely helpful when scheduling (and sometimes rescheduling) for each appointment. She let’s you know that they are flexible to work with whatever scheduling needs you have and is always extremely nice and sweet about it. Once I get passed the front desk and into the back of the dental office, Karla will always welcome you with a big smile so that I don’t have to feel uncomfortable. She is also always great about explaining exactly what will happen or what is to be expected, thank you. Lastly, Dr. Kim is super gentle with her work on the customers and will always make sure you’re comfortable and in a good spot before doing anything. Thank you Cottage Dental and thank you to the entire staff (^_^)v I’ll send all future referrals to this location.
brownie points: They have 2 offices, you can make appointments on weekends if needed at their second office locaiton. They also just recently got massaging chairs for their clients. You literally sit, enjoy your massage and movie while all the dental treatment is happening.

This place is amazing! They explain everything to you in full detail without any pressure to buy what they want. They cater to you! I’ve had many cleanings in my life and they all hurt; they apparently found the skill everyone has searched for. True, guns will almost always bleed, but my mouth never hurt the entire time, even when they were evaluating my cavities! This was my first visit and I will now be a loyal customer!

Ever since I was a little boy I’ve been a patient of Cottage Dental. Dr. Kim is a very sweet and gentle dentist. The other ladies on staff, from the front desk to dental assistants, are all kind and helpful.
This dental office also participates often in community outreach, such as an annual drive at a nearby elementary school.

I searched for years for a dentist that I really liked and felt like I could trust. Cottage Dental is by far the best Dental office I’ve been to. I never feel pressured and Dr. Nguyen and her staff are incredible. They’ve made a loyal customer out of me.

I just had my third visit to Cottage Dental & it was just as great as the other two visits! The staff is beyond welcoming, friendly, & kind. They really make sure your experience is great. Diane cleaned my teeth with Maddie’s assistance. They’re both very nice & made sure I was comfortable for my visit. I came in with coffee stains on my bottom teeth that I wasn’t sure could be removed but Diane did an amazing job with my cleaning & my teeth are looking perfectly white & clean! I would highly recommend Cottage Dental to anyone who wants a comfortable, honey atmosphere with people who take great care of you!

Still 5 stars all the way. Thank you so much for my braces Dr. Kim & Karla. You & your staff did an amazing job as usual. I love my dentist!!!

I have never been to a dentist’s office where I felt so comfortable and taken care of. I have been there three times: for a consultation with invisalign, a cleaning, and for a filling. At each appointment, the staff walked me through all of my options, considering the best financial options for me and the options best for my oral health. They provided me with all of the necessary procedural and financial information (filling and invisalign), letting me review the information and giving me the option to accept or reject either procedure. When I decided against invisalign for financial reasons, suggesting that I may go to a less expensive orthodontist, Dr. Nguyen was incredibly understanding and ecouraged me to take the best course of action for myself.
The cleaning and filling were very efficient (my filling, which was on my very back molar, only took a half an hour!) and the staff walked me through everything they were doing. Via informative videos, very thorough explanations, and before and after photos of my teeth (for filling), the staff of Cottage Dental has equipped me with excellent knowledge of my oral health status. Dr. Nguyen and her staff are incredibly friendly and clearly know their way around teeth! My filling looks and feels great, and I am prepared with the knowledge necessary to combat my developing periodontis.
In summary, I will be a loyal customer to this knowledgeable, caring, and professional dentist’s office as long as I’m here in Orange County.

By far, THE BEST dental experience I have EVER had! ALL of the staff members are knowledgeable, friendly, and very good at what they do. From Sayra, who took my ex-​rays, to the Hygenist (I’m so sorry I forgot her name), to Dr. Johanna who explained what issues I have with my teeth, and gave me multiple options on how to proceed, to Mariana and Aundrea as I checked out.
Let me just say that, though I forgot her name, the hygienist there is WONDERFUL. My teeth are close together, and I get plaque buildup very easily. I usually leave the dentist with throbbing gums, that continue for the next couple of days. When I left Cottage Dental, I felt great. My teeth felt amazing, and my gums felt good. I only felt slight tenderness before bed, but the next day, nothing.
I do have some cavities, sadly. Mariana quickly verified my insurance coverage, and emailed me my payment options. She is smart, quick, and super friendly.
I found Cottage Dental through Unilocal,and they did not disappoint.
They will be our family dentist for years to come. I’ve been looking for a place like this for a long time. Exceptional is the best way to describe the staff and my experience. Thank you ladies, keep up the fantastic work :)

I have been a patient of Dr. Kimberly Nguyen for the past 20 years. She is hands down the best dentist around. Not only is her technical ability magisterial, but her bedside manner is kind, courteous, and gentle. The entire team at Cottage Dental is equally engaged and highly qualified, especially Karla and Dr. Paco. I have been blessed with a mouth full of defective teeth, something I’ve had to deal with my entire life. Ordinarily this would be a bad thing, as when I was a young boy at the dentist several times a year for countless fillings and crowns. I dreaded the dentist for so long after the horrible, anxiety inducing experiences as a child, but as an adult I feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Nguyen and her team, they treat you like family. You cannot put a price on the outstanding level of service and professionalism exemplified by the team at Cottage Dental. Thank you.

I had a great experience at Cottage Dental and would recommend it to anyone. The staff was very pleasant and got me into my chair even earlier than my scheduled appointment. The dentist, Dr. Ortega, was very sweet and informative, and she did a wonderful job with my cleaning.

Wonderful, professional, pleasant, expert, personable, absolutely reliable– that’s been my experience at Cottage Dental for over a decade!!! I love the staff– thanks!

Prior to coming here to Cottage Dental, I avoided the dentist like the plaque. I even tried another dentist for sedation, but that place didn’t work for me. Thankfully my husband and I found Cottage Dental! Here, the kindness and compassion begin the minute you walk in the door. First, the office is close to our house and has convenient hours. Tiffany and the office staff are willing to do whatever they can to accommodate you. Marianne handles all your insurance and scheduling with a fun and positive attitude. They always work it out for me!
I’m such a dental scaredy-​cat, that at first I didn’t even want that darn bib on me when I sat in the chair. Dr Kim and Karla made me feel comfortable from the beginning. They explain everything, you hardly feel the shots or the work they are doing. I was so surprised when today’s appointment was already finished! They are willing to work at your pace instead of pressuring you to get things done. Each time I go there I am feeling more and more confident that I can soon become a patient who doesn’t even need any nitrous! Thank you so much for your kindness.

When it comes to dentistry it’s important to go somewhere you trust and feel comfortable. I keep coming back because that’s exactly how everyone at Cottage Dental makes me feel. I worked at Cottage Dental for about 4 yours and I have continued to come back as a patient for the past 2 years. Most of us leave a job and never want to return. But I truly believe in their dentistry & I know first-​hand, behind the scenes, that they are genuine. I appreciate the fact that they always put the patient first. I can always count on gentle and personalized care, whether I am in for a regular check-​up & cleaning, or getting a procedure done.
I can honestly say that I look forward to going to the dentist. My last visit was about a month ago. The moment I walked in the door I was greeted with a warm welcome and a smile by Tiffany. Even Karla, who was working in another area, briefly stopped what she was doing to say hello. My cleaning was painless (thank you Dr. Ortega & Maddie) and I am always informed of what is going on. If I need treatment, Mariana is great at breaking things down & working with me on any financials. And I was out the door earlier than I expected! Another great visit accomplished!
Cottage Dental has 2 offices and more employees than I mentioned at my previous visit. Everyone is amazing and makes it a point to deliver the best care & service possible. These professionals are definitely my dental family; I can’t imagine going somewhere else. Each and every member of Cottage Dental, I truly thank you for giving me a positive dental experience time and time again!

I have no need to change dentists. Its been this way for so many years. The staff is very friendly and attentive and Dr. Nguyen is awesome!

This is by far the best dentist I have ever been to. They actually care. Since I moved to Vegas I will drive to California to Clean my teeth and get my check up. They make you comfortable and everyone is so friendly. I had a dental emergency after I left California. I called them up on a holiday weekend and Dr. Paco responded with in minutes to my call. Thank you!

Friendly front desk staff. They hooked up my husband with some replacement ortho bands even though he isn’t even a patient here! (Forgot his an hour away and needed some to get thru the weekend). If that’s how they treat a random person, I can only imagine how good they are to actual patients.

Do you ever look forward to going to the dentist? Well, I do. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Nguyen’s since I was in junior high. I’m now 30, married, and starting a family. If you want a place where you and your family will FEEL like family, this is the place for you. All of the staff are so friendly, and they always remember you. The staff are on top of appointments and very courteous.
Dr. Nguyen is always positive, nice, GENTLE, and friendly. When you visit there is the option to watch a movie, which I think is nice for people who may have anxiety at the dentist. I love this place, and when my children are old enough, they will go to Cottage Dental as well!
