Dentists of Irvine Dental Group

New patients, beware. I was referred to this dental office by both a coworker and a friend, who are both current patients of Dr. Scott. Based on their recommendations, I specifically booked my appointment to see him. However, when I arrived, I was assigned to a different dentist who appeared to be relatively new. I was told that Dr. Scott would also review my X-rays since the dentist seeing me was new. Before my second checkup appointment (my third visit overall), I called the office again to specifically confirm that I wanted to be seen by Dr. Scott. I even adjusted my appointment time to accommodate this request. Despite that, on the day of my appointment, I was given three different explanations by three different staff members as to why Dr. Scott could not see me. Ultimately, I ended up being seen by yet another young dentist rather than the doctor I had specifically requested. What concerns me even more is the care I received. My dental implant had been bothering me intermittently. If I hadn’t specifically brought up my concerns, I don’t feel the issue would have been properly investigated. Even during my second visit, I had to point out my concerns before the infection around the implant was acknowledged. I am extremely disappointed with this experience. The repeated miscommunication, lack of transparency, and inconsistency in care have left me feeling misled every time I visit. I specifically requested Dr. Scott multiple times, yet the office continued to give me different explanations and assign me to other providers. Honestly, I wish the office had simply told me upfront if Dr. Scott was not accepting new patients or was unavailable to see me. I would have completely understood and appreciated the honesty. Instead, I could have done my own research and found another dentist rather than having to go through multiple frustrating visits with different providers. As a new patient, I expected honesty, clear communication, and confidence in the care I was receiving. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience. I hope the office improves its communication and patient care so others don’t have to go through the same experience.

I had a great experience here and would highly recommend this office. Everyone was professional, and the dental work was excellent! Dr. Rodriguez, Lauren the hygienist, and Cathy made me feel comfortable from start to finish. I found my new dentist!

Dr Eric Scott is the most talented thorough dental doctor that provided me with a comprehensive and good treatment plan. I’m amazed on the talented kind staff and front desk technology that provide me options on the spot to help and relieve my dental issues. I am grateful to have found my new dental office and sons will be next. One stop shop for your dental care.

Dr. Scott, Loren Brooks, and the rest of the staff were absolutely amazing people who assisted me with everything dental. They are extremely knowledgeable and thorough with their examination and go above and beyond to make sure you have a good understanding of everything that goes on. We have only paid one visit thus far but we have definitely found our home dentist.

I had an excellent experience with my dental hygienist, Loren Brooks!!! She was professional, friendly, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I sat down. She explained everything she was doing, was very gentle during the cleaning, and took the time to answer all of my questions. Thank you Loren!!!

I’m new to Dentists of Irvine, and I recently had a crown replacement and cleaning there. The office was clean and welcoming, and everyone was friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the visit. Lauren was especially helpful and shared a lot of useful guidance and information that I hadn’t known before. Dr. Rodriguez was excellent—professional, gentle, and made the visit feel easy and painless. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend them.

I haven’t check my teeth for a very long time. Today I decide to fix all my issue at all. Turns out I need a deep cleaning ASAP! Loren Brooks did a great job by cleaning my tooth, the entire process is fast and painless. I am very happy with the outcome! The price is also pretty reasonable. I will come back for other treatment.

A+ Dental Office. Dr Rodriguez and staff are friendly and professional. They answered all my questions about the procedures (kindly and with understanding) and proactively provided information about what insurance covered and didn't. The office is sparkling clean. They keep you informed of appointments via texts that add right into your calendar. Too easy. Shout-out to Loren Brooks dental hygienist for her excellent work.

Excellent experience overall. The clinic is equipped with modern tech and everything feels efficient. Loren is a fantastic hygienist - knowledgeable, approachable, and thorough in explaining cleaning and periodontal maintenance. The office will also work with you to set up a discount plan if you don’t have dental insurance, which is a huge plus. Would definitely recommend!

I had a very disappointing experience with this dental office. First, I felt they were overly aggressive in recommending treatments. I was told I needed an inlay, which is a relatively expensive and invasive procedure. However, after seeking a second opinion, multiple other dentists confirmed that a simple filling would be sufficient. This made me question whether their recommendations were truly in my best interest. Second, the quality of the exam felt rushed and lacked transparency. In other dental offices I’ve visited, dentists took the time to walk me through each tooth, explain findings in detail, and review X-rays with me. Here, the explanation was minimal and felt more like a quick summary rather than a thorough evaluation. Additionally, I consistently experienced long wait times despite arriving on time for my appointments. Waiting 10–20 minutes seemed to be the norm, and on one occasion I waited nearly an hour. This level of delay is unacceptable, especially compared to other clinics where appointments are handled much more efficiently. Overall, I felt pressured toward more expensive treatments, received limited communication about my dental health, and experienced poor time management. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this office.

Dr Rodriguez and Kyrstin were incredibly kind. I have severe anxiety especially at the dentist, and they always work hard to make sure I'm comfortable through all my procedures. The front desk staff is also incredibly kind and helpful. Would recommend!
