Dental Arts of Palm Avenue

I haven’t had a good dental experience in a long time… I haven’t had dental work in a while either. Sadly, I fall into the criteria of a super nervous dental patient. But my wisdom teeth needed to go, so with my Captain EO’s Hooter plush in hand, I went to Dental Arts for the first time.
The staff was super nice. They treat you kindly, they understand the nerves and anxiety of having dental work done. Not only are they understansing but they are very thorough with explaining treatment plans, costs and what the patient can handle for the day.
I had Dr. Acuna and he was obviously very confident in his work and it definitely reflects well. He was not only very kind but he made sure I understood everything going on with my oral health and stated any concerns he had.
It was too late to have sedation. That made me a little nervous but the dr. was sure I could handle it. He was right.
I had an appointment at 8am, started treating by 9am, out by 10:15. I had my top wisdom teeth extracted and a cleaning as well and the procedure went smoothly. Barely any pain.
Definitely getting the rest of my dental work done here. Plus, my hubby and kiddo are getting seen here.
Overall I’m a happy camper. This place eased my anxiety about going to the dentist.

LOVED IT !! The dr was sooo good with my dughter. She had a bad experience at the super dentist so when i switched her she was nervous. and she was a sweethear! NOW I am a patients and the ladies at the front desk are so kind i was nervous about my appt and they made me feel so calm also kept an eye on my daughter while i was getting xrays dr. ACUNA has a great way of treAting patients thAnks to the staff. I found mu DENTIST

I have only had one other dentist my entire life and they were good at what they did I felt like I needed more. The staff is seriously amazing ! They answer all your questions and are very personable unlike other offices. Dr. Acuña himself is very nice and gives you a list of what he says you could do and different options of how to do it he never pushes you to do anything is very understanding and informs you to take it step by step to see make sure insurance covers before doing anything. Definitely glad he is my dentist now !

I love this place! It had been a while since i last saw a dentist because of a few bad experiences i had before. But as soon as i walked in to the office i was greeted with a friendly smile! Dr. Acuna is by far the best dentist! All of the staff is genuinely caring and they all want you to have a pleasant experience. I had to have a minor, but very painful procedure today and they made sure that i was ok at all times. Even hold my hand the whole time. :) no more searching for a dentis because i have found the One! Give them a try, i assure you that you won’t regret it! Oh and just to let you know how caring they are, Dr. Acuna called me after 8pm to make sure i was doing ok! Only the best doctor will take the time to make sure that their patients are doing fine!

We waited 45 minutes to be seen after our scheduled appointment. We were told not to be 5 minutes late or they will cancel the appointed and we will be charged for the visit; yet they make us wait 45 minutes.

First time client that will NEVER return. Received bill after being given the impression that they had checked to make sure my insurance would cover.

Ive been going to Dental Arts for years now and I absolutely love the way they treat me as a patient. I have recommended a number of my friends and they all thank me for refering them to Dr. Acuna. Forget about other unprofessional dental offices, the staff here are always friendly and try to help you in anyway they can. The nurses are friendly and make you feel comfortable.
Dr. Acuna even gave me his personal cell phone after having my wisdom teeth pulled out because i was so worried. He assured me that everything would be okay but told me to call him if anything were to happen. This is just an example of a doctor who really cares of the well being of his patients.
I cant imagine anyone having a bad experience here. I couldnt be happier with Dental Arts of Palm Avenue.

So today was my second visit here… let me describe both experiences…
First visit:
I walked in and immediately smiled simply because of the smell of this place. Seriously both of my check ins are about this amazing cinnamon smell! Anywho, I was running a little behind due to an accident on the 805 (worst fwy ever!!!) Anytime I’m late anywhere I get an attitude or am forced to reschedule. They knew things happen and were so nice and still took me in. Thee young ladie at the front desk helped me fill out my paperwork too. I went back and the guy took my xrays. He was really funny and nice, which is comforting. Then doc came in and asked how my day was and asked if I had any pain etc. I like how he asked about my day and it seemed like he genuinely cared to hear about it. He then told me to put on these glasses so the light won’t hurt my eyes. He’s said they were stylish but of course he was joking. He then pulled the light down and asked the guy who took my xrays if he thinks they will get a confession, get it like I was being questioned with the light in my face all fbi style lol he really made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I had 8 cavities, no surprise there I had those since my teenage years i know because i had to get them filled before I got my braces! He did give me a treatment plan because I also needed a deep cleaning. They were not pushy, explained all the costs, gave me different options which makes me happy. I decided to go for the deep cleaning and then come back for treatment. He numbed me well and i didn’t feel anything during the deep clean. I cheked out n made my next appointment.
Second visit (today)
I went in for just a basic cleaning and to my surprise I was greeted by name, good personal touch ;) …the office smelled so darn good again! This was a quick visit because it was a basic cleaning but it was an enjoyable experience for suuuuuure!
Bottom line:
Doc is one of the most friendly People I ever met and his staff is so sweet. You will not regret coming here. It took me many dentist to find one that made me feel at home and im not giving this office up! I have never been afraid of dental visits but i completely trust this place. Next step is my fillings and my whitening: D exited for pretty teeth!!!
