4 Ever Smile Dental Group

Out of all the dental offices I called, the receptionist* from this office is the most friendly & helpful. She answered all the questions I had & even offered advice that helped me understand more about my situation. This was what led me to choose to do business here over the other places. Booking an appointment was easy. During the 1^st call, they were able to book me in the same week! The 2^nd appointment was 2 weeks out, which is still pretty fast compared to other dentists.
When I arrived for the 1^st visit, there was a short wait time. I believe they do not overbook, which is something I really value in choosing a dentist. The wait times in the other visits were longer, though: about 20 – 30 min. Parking is always plenty. The whole office is Disney themed with paintings on the wall, which is amusing to me because I’m a kid at heart! They even have movies playing in the waiting room & the procedure rooms. On my 1^st visit, they came in to check on me & ask if I need anything in the waiting room. That was nice because I wasn’t sure if they had forgotten about me.
During the 1^st visit, I had a dental exam, cleaning, & x-​ray. The 2^nd and 3^rd visits were to redo my fillings. I guess I never had cavities so deep that it still hurts to chew 3 – 4 months after the visit. I never experienced this, so I thought Dr. Kang did something wrong. I called Yvette and she told me that I can come in the same day to have the dentist take a look. Yvette listened to my concerns & relayed the message back to Dr. Kang. It still slightly hurts to this day, but Dr. Kang tells me to keep waiting for the recovery. I truly appreciate that she does not try to sell me services I may not need!
*Yvette is my absolute favorite person there! I actually found out she was the receptionist w/​whom I spoke to on the phone the 1^st time. We were even chatting like we were friends during my 2^nd visit :) She makes the dental visits a much more pleasant experience for me. Without her & the other receptionist (don’t know her name, but she’s an older Chinese lady), I’m not sure I would get the same customer service. Without them, this office may feel like any other office to me. They even remember me by name & greet me w/​a smile every time! :)
Actually, throughout my 4 visits and even afterwards, I had called Yvette probably a million times with my concerns & follow-​up questions. Each & every time, she would do her best to help me out without hesitation. She never once sounded annoyed with how often I called (thank god!). She would always try to get back to me if she was unable to answer me or was too busy. At times, she did forget to return my call, but it’s completely understandable! It gets very busy, & people make mistakes. However, she always apologize for that, which is not necessary, but a nice gesture! I feel like she should be employee of the year with all the customer service she has provided me the past few months. She has made dental visits & deal with medical coverage a much less dreadful process than they have to be.
My 4^th visit was for my premolar extractions. I didn’t appreciate that the other receptionist told me that the costs should be covered, & then right after I had already been admitted in the room & numbed up, she said that I might have to pay out of pocket. They didn’t take any $ from me that day, & said that they have to wait 2 – 3 months to see if it would be covered. I wish they told me earlier, so I can actually have more time to think about it as It’s $ 100/​tooth x 2 total = $ 200. They also made me sign a paper saying that if the insurance isn’t covered, then I’ll have to pay it. I do not mind that, but I prefer if I was told beforehand to avoid surprises like that.
Another issue I have with this office is that they don’t give you that much after-​care info after the visits. I always had to ask my friend who’s in the dental industry about what to do or do research on my own, which isn’t too difficult, but it would be nice to get this info directly from them.
There are some minor issues that could be improved upon, but I still highly recommend this dental office, & will keep returning as long as I get the same services :)

I’ve been to many dental offices and this is probably the best one so far.
1. Staff: the staff has always been so friendly and genuine! A trip to the dentist isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I can tell it’s almost second-​nature to them to go out of their way to make me feel comfortable and accomodated for. Dr. Kang is very gentle and meticulous in her work. She offers advice for better oral hygiene care and I could tell she cares for her patients AND their teeth. Everyone is so nice here!
2. Facility: Clean and bright. The walls are decorated with whimsical hand-​drawn Disney characters and I feel that adds a great touch to the kid-​friendly ambience. This is a plus to any kid who lives Disney. and I’m a big kid who seriously loves Disney. Kudos to the art! Another plus is that there is a small TV screen in every dental seat and movies (think Big Hero 6 and Minions) are played for your entertainment. The lobby is bright and colorful. There is a TV constantly playing a movie for the kids to enjoy. There is a table with crayons and the like, with books and other tidbits for kids to busy themselves with.
3. Location: Situated on a corner and easy to spot, there is plenty of parking to be had. It’s never been an issue for me to find parking, which can prove to be very convenient if one is running late for an appointment.
All around, a great place to take your kids and adults for a great dental experience. Dr. Kang will take great care of your teeth!

At first I was a bit concerned that I chose this place since i was listening to a parent argue with the «Manager» about the instance billing and his son crying. The overall experience was ok since my eldest didn’t have a bad experience. My you gets on the other hand, will be left either first experiment with a dentist a horrifying one. My 2 ½ yr old was barely warming up to the situation as they stick a metal instrument to keep her mouth open as I hold her. I was I shock when I was witnessing this! I couldn’t react. Well this place is semi-​kid friendly but have much to improve

I love this place!!! I bring my daughter and my nephews here!!! The staff is supper friendly and they care about your needs! I definitely recommend this dental office!!!

I am extremely happy with the patience they have shown for my daughter. They are easy, gentle and clean. I truly recommend every parents to bring their children to this dentist. I cannot wait to start our journey here for a better smile. Thank you Marlene for doing an awesome job on the cleaning.

Super friendly staff and dentist. Out of all the dental offices I’ve talked to, the receptionist here is the most patient and helpful. I’ve hated the wait times at dental offices so I refused to go for years but Dr. Kang saw me within 15 mins of my appt. The prices are also very reasonable here. She didn’t try to sell us anything extra.
My bf also had his root canal procedure done here and she explained the treatment to us in details with lots of patient. I was a bit moody and impatient that day so I truly appreciate the attention and care her and her staff gave me.
I will definitely refer my friends here. Thank you.

4 Ever Smile Dental Group is truly awesome! The 5 stars speak for itself. My niece is really afraid of the sound of the drill and Dr. Peggy is able to provide «pain-​free» laser instrument to remove my niece’s decays. With laser instrument, Dr. Peggy also performed frenectomy on my niece. The operation went well and my niece loves her! She said she wants to come back next time.

I came here for a second opinion. Doctor Peggy was very kind, efficient and patient, and so were the other people I met there. It is very helpful, for someone, who is concerned while have little knowledge on this.
Dr Peggy clearly explained what my condition is, and what treatment i will be needing.
I am looking forward to my future appointments.

Update —
Seems my retreatment was successful! Dr. Kang is as comforting and amazing as ever :) the prices for a night guard and crown here are much more affordable than at other dentists I’ve found.
I can tell that it is not just about money with Dr. Kang, she genuinely cares about her patients! Will update soon after my crown placement and after I get my night guard :)
Her staff is very friendly and kind, especially the dental assistant Yvette, who was very kind and patient as well. I was very worried about the tooth but she helped put me at ease!

Fast forward 6 months later from my last review…
I woke up with a dull pain in one of my teeth and went to see Dr. Kang about it. As usual, the wait time was very short and the staff was polite. I originally planned to see her next week, but I got worried when my face started getting kind of swollen…
Dr. Kang’s office then gave me a much earlier appointment. I noticed one thing new about 4ever smile: they have the cutest Disney paintings on the walls! so adorable! No wonder 4 ever smile is so popular with kids! The dental chairs also have televisions attached to them so your child can watch Disney channel while he/​she waits or is getting operated on.
She carefully looked over my xrays and suspected I might have a re-​infected root canal (woo hoo!) She was quite gentle when she was examining my teeth. She suggested that I see an endodontist about the tooth and prescribed me some antibiotics.
Well, I was reluctant to see one… but eventually I got so worried about my root canal being reinfected I called her office asking for a list of endodontists. I left a message with her staff, but I didn’t receive a call back =(.
In fact, when I tried to call her office again a few days ago, the staff curtly asked me to call back later. Dr. Kang is really busy, so it is understandable… and I was able to find a REALLY good endodontist on my own (Dr. John Yu @ Endocare Center) who happened to be on Dr. Kang’s list as well.
But the good part is that I called them again today and asked about the price for a crown. I don’t know what types of crowns they are offering, but the staff informed me that they would give me a lower price because I’ve been a long time patient. The price they quoted to me is VERY reasonable for a dental crown! I’ll update on that in a few days :)
I’m seeing them in a few days to discuss buying a crown, so I will update on my little root canal reinfection adventure shortly in case anyone is going through the same thing :).
Their business hours are a little awkward, as they are only open three days a week. The dental assistant who did my xrays was very sweet and nice :)! I should ask her name next time…

I was very concern when looking for a dentist for my 4 years old daughter’s first checkup. I like to see my daughter enjoyed and felt comfortable for her first ever visit to the dentist. So I did a search on Unilocal and read thru all comments and decided 4 ever smile dental group to be the best candidate for this task.
Book the appointment and sent her in with mommy.
At the end of the day when she got home and ask how it went, she said it went smoothly without a drop of tear and that’s make my mission complete.
She has two roots canal and fillings done to her front teeth plus cleaning without tears, that must be a very gentle hands.
My daughter is not a brave young one. If she can handle it without tears, it has to be a great and gentle dentist. Next appointment is a NO problem for her.
HIGHLY recommended for pediatric or anyone not fond of dental works.
Price is very reasonable and clean office with dedicated staff.
She can’t wait to see you again Dr. Kang!

The staff is very friendly and helpful. My son had to get a root canal. Dr kang took her time and explain the procedure. Staff was so friendly with my son he wasn’t afraid during the procedure.

We weren’t happy with our nephew’s previous dentist so we decided to Unilocal and try out 4 Ever Dentist due to all the great reviews.
The location shares a lot with another office. When you walk into the dentistry, it is very clean and nice. Very nice front desk employee whom helped process paperwork quickly. When we were in a room the dentist assistant was very nice towards our nephew. Talking to him making him feel comfortable. After she X-​rayed and cleaned his teeth, Dr. Peggy came in to inspect his teeth. She was very very detail in her assessment. She explains what he needed to be done so there will be no surprises for the next visit. We came out understanding exactly what will be done and how much out of pocket costs it will be for his upcoming appointments.
After the visit she gave him a little gift. I would highly recommend Dr. Peggy if you have kids. She is very warm and welcoming. We are so happy we finally found a great pediatric dentist for our nephew!

Dr Kang was very informative and detailed. She explained to me step by step what she was doing before she started and did a wonderful job fixing my teeth. She’s very gentle and careful and also stayed late to finish instead of sending me home to wait another week for an appt to open up. If my Dental insurance didnt switch to HMO, I would continue going to her.

I am not an active reviewer on Unilocal but I really want to leave a good review about my latest dental visit. Dr. Peggy Kang was so detailed and gentle so I would like to share with everyone.
I was referred to her by my friend and scheduled an appointment on a Sat. There was no long wait like other dental places. The staffs are very friendly and I was checked in within 15 mins.
Dr. Kang checked my teeth gently and immediately discovered something my former dentist wouldn’t find or talk to me. I was told that I brushed my teeth too hard and I will lose my teeth if I keep brushing in the same way. She was not trying to scare me in order to get my business. She asked me to compare the teeth and gum which I brushed harder with the inner part which I didn’t brush that hard. I have had some sensitivity from those teeth and gum for a year. My former dentist has never mentioned or examined in further. I am so glad that Dr. Kang pointed this out and I will be more careful with my teeth in the future. She has so much patience with me and would answer all my questions.
I highly recommend Dr. Peggy Kang to anyone!

Took my 3yr old daughter here for a dental check up based on the reviews. Yes, I must agree… Dr Kang is a very good dentist. She’s very patient and understands that children gets scared of places like this. She talks to them and tries to calm their nerves and tells them everything that she’s going to be doing.
Luckily, my daughter didn’t have any cavities, so she just had a dental cleaning. Which went smoothly and my daughter was being very cooperative throughout the whole thing. Would recommend people to bring their kids here ;)

There is a belief that going to the dentist is never a pleasureable experience for anybody, but 4 Ever Smile Dental Group challenges that theory. A few weeks ago I saw Dr. Peggy for a routine cleaning and to get impressions for teeth whitening. To my delight, all aspects of the dental visit were exceptional. I have an erosion along my gum line so I never look forward to seeing the dentist.
I was greeted warmly upon entering and the lady at the front desk even changed the TV channel to my preference. We exchanged friendly dialogue, and I was then taken for X-​rays in a very easygoing yet professional manner. Afterwards, I was escorted to another station for my cleaning and was given the remote to change the channel again to the TV station of my liking. There was only a few minute wait before Dr. Peggy entered and started cleaning my teeth. She cleaned my teeth while showing great care and concern for the sensitivity along my gum line and even gave me recommendations on how to minimize the sensitivity long-​term such as using an alternative toothpaste. The impressions were also done in a very considerate manner. I left the office feeling clean and refreshed.
There is nothing more I could have asked for from 4 Ever Smile Dental Group. The professionalism and care and exhibited by the entire staff made the experience enjoyable. My highest accolades go out to the entire office.

Dr. Kang is simply the best! I was referred to Dr. Kang by a friend, and I am so glad I found her :)
Like most people, I am not a big fan of going to the dentist. As a matter of fact, I almost always try to find excuses not to go. A while ago, a friend mentioned to me that his dentist’s really good and asked if I wanted to give her a try. I was hesitant at first, simply because of my own personal fear. I decided to go so I wouldn’t end up with rotten teeth in my mouth. :D
My first impression of the clinic: CLEAN and BRIGHT.
My first impression of Dr. Kang: She’s got a really pretty smile and good teeth (Would you trust your dentist if his/​her teeth are yellow? I don’t think so)
I gave her staff my insurance information and was quickly escorted to the x-​ray machine to have images taken. Her assistant was very nice. Shortly after the films were taken, Dr. Kang began working on my teeth cleaning. She even asked if I wanted to watch TV :)
Overall, I felt Dr. Kang did a great and thorough job in cleaning my teeth. I explained to her how I always have a hard time flossing my back teeth and she gave me a free «reach» floss. she also noticed I had a small chip on my bottom front tooth, and said I must grind my teeth at night; this is something I already knew but no other dentist before Dr. Kang had ever made any suggestions on what I could do, as a patient, to protect my teeth. Dr. Kang recommended a night guard for me and took my impression to have it fabricated.
I cannot thank Dr. Kang enough for her friendly yet professional mannerism. I also cannot thank my friend enough for referring me to her. After my positive experience here, I don’t think I will be as afraid to go to the dentist anymore :)
If you are looking for an honest dentist who truly cares about her patients, look no further :)

I haven’t been to a dentist in 6 years. Yeah, I know, it’s bad. Among work, family, and every day life it was something that I put off for way too long. Honestly, the only reason that I went is because a friend talked me into going to his dentist. I am all over Southern CA for work, so I have an option to go anywhere, so when I was in the San Gabriel area I made an appointment to see Dr. Peggy Kang.
The first thing I noticed about the office was how clean it was. This is extremely important to me. I am a neat freak, and the last thing I want is someone putting their hands in my mouth in a dirty office. Think about it…
Setting up an appointment was very easy. The staff at 4 Ever Smile is friendly and customer focused. They followed up to remind me about the appointment, and getting the first time paperwork done was super easy. They accepted my insurance, so that was nice.
Most importantly, the dentist was great. Dr. Kang was very gentle. I have sensitive teeth, and will admit I am a wuss when it comes to the dentist. Dr. Kang explained everything she was doing while working on me, and patiently answered my questions. She was also honest. She let me feel like I was part of the decision when it comes to what to do to fix my teeth. It is the first time I have been to a dentist and didn’t feel like I was getting a sales pitch.

I’ve been pretty wary about going to the dentist’s office ever since I was a small child. That was the only time I’ve had any fillings done, and the two I’ve had at that age has been pretty much it, thankfully. I made a vow to rigorously brush and take care of my teeth from that point onward, because that was the only way I could avoid the drill and the pain associated with it.
So when I came in to 4 Ever Smile to see Dr. Peggy Kang last week, I was comforted by her assessment that I didn’t have any threat of cavities or any impending gum disease. In fact, overall, it was a great assessment. I did, however, find out that I have a habit of grinding my teeth while I sleep, evident by some minor wearing on my lower incisors. No other dentist ever pointed that out to me, and it was definitely a nice insight.
The assistants and Dr. Peggy herself have a very amiable bedside manner; something crucially important when visiting the dentist, especially for young children. It helps put patients at ease and her explanations and deductions are very on point. She has the latest laboratory equipment and offers cosmetic dentistry procedures as well.
This is a brand new office, and it is very welcoming, colorful, definitely child-​friendly, as evident by the children’s themed waiting room and a couple of the patient rooms. They have a nice television in the waiting room to help pass the time. Surprisingly, the dentists I’ve been to in the past haven’t installed televisions in their offices, and still stick to the old fashioned magazine or dental literature to entertain patients and guests.
The office is bilingual, so the staff can effectively assist patients who speak English and/​or Chinese, though you can probably call to determine if there’s any more languages I’m missing. They accept most dental insurance and are flexible with those who may not have full coverage from an employer.
The facility has plenty of parking and is easily accessible from San Gabriel Boulevard. It’s not too far north of the 10 freeway and, best of all, they accept Saturday appointments (because Lord knows I can’t do weekdays, especially from where I work in Orange County)! If you’re in the market for a dentist or haven’t been to one in a while, need a cleaning or some other dental work, Dr. Peggy and the team at 4 Ever Smile Dental is definitely one to check out.

I went here as a recommendation from a friend who i later found out had an insecurity about dentist.
Background: i went to a dentist for the first time in 8 years two months ago at another dental group that i have yet to review on Unilocal.They were nice, but the charges got racked up, similar to what other reviewers were saying. i felt like i was at a used car lot getting convinced to get undercoating and new tires every 10k. not pleased, but it helped my fear of dentists.
my friend had said he liked this place not just because of the reassurance and ease anxiety but because he didnt feel like he was getting led to a land of hidden costs, unnecessary procedures, and worst of all, a huge dental bill.
the Dr. Peggy Kang was super nice, even pointed out a potential cavity threat and what looked like a bad crown placement and asked if was in tooth pain.
i was very happy with the results and will definitely come back as a regular. and this is coming from a guy who lives in huntington beach!
because the best part, is that they’re actually open on SATURDAY!
