LEARN ABOUT US

Gentle Dental of Orange is conveniently located on South Main Street, north of the intersection with West La Veta Avenue, and a block west of St. Joseph Hospital.

We’re open Monday through Friday and offer evening hours to accommodate working families. We accept most dental insurance, and can help you secure no-interest extended payment plans to help with the costs of procedures not covered by insurance. Quality dentistry should be affordable to everyone, so we provide the Dedicated Dental Plan to patients without insurance. The plan offers low-cost preventative and diagnostic services, with discounted rates for almost all your dental needs.

Our friendly dental professionals provide high-quality treatment in a gentle, stress-free environment. We offer general dentistry and specialized treatments to all members of the family, with pediatric services available for infants and children.

We build lifelong relationships with our patients, and promise you’ll be treated with kindness and respect throughout your appointment. Our team of skilled dental professionals are here to handle all your dental care needs, whether you need a routine checkup, teeth cleaning, a root canal, oral surgery, or want to improve your smile’s appearance with cosmetic dentistry. We’re also available for emergency treatment as needed.

We are near St. Joseph’s and CHOC Hospital. Convenient hours early morning, lunch and evenings for Hospital employees. Office works with Ronald McDonald House charity.

Stop in to see us at our wheelchair-accessible office on South Main Street. To set up an appointment or for further assistance, please call us at 714-426-9577. One of our friendly staff members will be happy to speak with you.

This place is extremely thorough. They took more X-rays than any dental practice I had previously visited. I did feel that my comfort was something they cared about, from the paperwork stage to the final steps of my cleaning. I guess they have a bit of a hard time coming by the kind of hygienists they keep here as most of the 3 hours I spent here on 3/11/2020 was just sitting in the chair waiting for my cleaning to start. They may mean well when they thoroughly inform you of everything you can possibly do to maximize the health and appearance of your teeth. However, as a low-wage factory worker, I cannot afford anything they are recommending. Besides that, at my young age I have no business having high dental bills. On 11/4/2020, just when I never thought I would, I finally had my own experience with being upsold here. First they want me to come back within the month for a deep cleaning I don’t need. Then they tell me I have “inflamed gums” (not specifying gingivitis) and claim I needed $736 medicated trays to hold in my mouth for 10 minutes everyday for a full year straight. At this point I told them I would not schedule any further appointments here. I decided to visit a coworker’s dentist much farther away from my home for a second opinion. See that review for how it went.

I was traveling for work and Christmas when my crown fell out unexpectedly. I was nervous handling this situation when away from my primary dentist, but I knew it had to be corrected immediately. When I called, reception was warm, friendly and very efficient. The person I spoke with remember the minute details of the conversation and repeated key points back to me, which validated I selected the right place. Once I arrived, the paperwork was ready and it was easy to completed with Marlo. Erica took me to get X-Rays, and she took the time to hear what occurred as well as get to know me. We had very personable conversation until I met the dentist. I have a wonderful dentist in my home state, and I was surprised how utterly fantastic Dr. Nishikawa was. She introduced herself and efficiently began reviewing my situation. She made me laugh and had a wonderful, calming manner. From beginning to end, my stressful experience was so comfortable and personable that I saved their contact information to see them next time I’m in town. I HIGHLY recommend this dental office and dentist.

I had a crown done today. I was so worried it was going to hurt as I have not had any dental work done for years. The dentist was great. I felt not one bit of pain. This place really lives up to its name😀

The doctors and the assistants here are so incredibly empathic and understanding of people with dental anxiety. I used to avoid the dentist's office like the plague but the staff here has made feel comfortable enough to actually show up for my cleanings and exams. I always leave feeling like my smile is cleaner and brighter.
