Oxnard Smiles Dentistry - Oxnard, California

Marc Olevin

My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Maria for about a year and we are so glad we found her and this office. Not only is Maria (that's what everyone calls her) a very competent and experienced dentist, but she is also a kind and caring professional who actually listens to her patients and accommodates their needs, concerns and worries. We have total confidence in her. The front office of Alma and Ramon are always polite, efficient, friendly and helpful, the office is very clean and has state of the art equipment, the techs and assistants are first-rate, and the new dental hygenist Eshmail is very good. As much as nobody likes "going to the dentist", Maria and the staff makes it a better visit. Thanks everyone!

I Agree with Renee, R. Sando, and Alexis H.

I don't even know where to start. This dentist place is definitely extremely more expensive, I was looking for a new place due to a bad procedure at a nother dentist. I should have read the reviews.

They up charge everything and will tell you need procedures done which are not needed ( confirmed by another Dentist I went to this week ) . They billed my insurance for close to $1k for a first patient appointment evaluation. if I didn't have insurance I wouldn't even be able to have my mouth checked.

I felt pressured to have the procedures scheduled to be done as soon possible. I also feel there's lack of privacy because the front counter lady who took me my overview of what was needed to be reviewed and price costs was speaking very loud about the procedures I needed and overall outcome of my mouth evaluation while there were other patients being treated and no doors available to close the office. I'm very private about personal matters and felt extemely uncomfortable. I felt overwhelmed after visiting this dentist and will never be going back.

The only good thing about them is their dental hygenist, she is extremely kind and sweet. I can't say the same thing about the front counter lady and the dentist.

I wouldn’t recommend coming here due to dishonest treatment, costly dental work, and services that don’t last. I was referred to this dental office by a friend who worked in the dental industry. He knew Maria and said she had just opened an office. I was looking for an honest dentist since they are hard to find these days. Maria was helpful but as the years went on, we saw Dr Ali.

I came to this office twice about the same tooth bothering me. Dr. Ali filled the cavity and less than a year later, the filling popped out. Every time she helped me, the treatment was painful. I was told I needed a root canal done on that tooth. It was going to cost over $2,000 even with my PPO insurance. I asked for anyone but Dr Ali to help me. When the crown came in, it didn’t fit my tooth properly but the dentist still tried to make it work. He even shaved down part of my molar above the tooth which made me uncomfortable. After no luck, they sent for a new one. I asked how long the crown should last and he said for years.

I went back to this office for a cleaning last November. I saw Dr Ali again. She said I had a small cavity and needed a partial crown. I was quoted over $1000. I said, I’m not paying that. I just paid over $2,000 for a root canal that is still bothering me.

Come to find out from a new dental office, the crown has a gap. After calling the office today, I’m given excuses why I may have a gap and would have to see an endodontist and pay again for the services. I was told the tooth looked fine after I left. I would think after what I was charged, it would last more than a year.

I also found out the tooth they said I needed a partial crown on, I don’t need to have that done at all. Dr Ali just wanted to make money off me. Maria, I would have thought you ran your office better. But it seems you just have anyone come into your office without seeing how they are treating your patients. Now I’m stuck trying to figure this out without you or your team trying to make it right. I would hope this doesn’t happen to someone else.

Mimi and the Entire Staff are Amazing. I felt so comfortable discussing the major dental work ahead of me.

My appointment from start to finish was amazing! They have a patient portal to fill out forms online, check upcoming appointments and send messages. The clinic was very clean and inviting. Jasmine & Maria were amazing, honest, & very patient with me. I get major anxiety coming to the dentist and have tried a few other local dental clinics and have always had a bad experience, this is the 1st to make me feel comfortable (& painless lol).

Will definitely recommend to family & friends

The communication here is terrible. Given redundant panoramic x-rays in less than a month's time (and charged for 2nd); charged $70.40 for "oral hygiene instructions" which I think just amount to being told how to brush - and is not covered in insurance. Never asked for oral hygiene instructions. Told that I would not have an option in advised full wisdom teeth removal and that I could not discuss until I paid for a consultation with the contracted oral surgeon. They only have a few experts in house, but mainly are a workplace for floating professionals. This place needs to be more upfront about what is and isn't covered with insurance. Feels like they want business so bad they will skip over details.
