Lollipop Dental - Costa Mesa: Reviews

Hi Sharon! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that your daughter enjoys her visits and that our team makes you both feel comfortable. We truly appreciate your kind words and love having you as part of the Lollipop Dental family!
Negative experience: Have tried reaching your office 4 times leaving messages for a call back yet no one has returned my call. I will find another place to book moving forward.
Hi Shannon! We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. At Lollipop Dental, we always strive to provide the best care and service for every patient. We’d appreciate the opportunity to learn more about what happened and make things right. Please reach out to us directly so we can discuss your concerns further.

Yarely will be so happy to hear your shoutout! We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to seeing you and your little ones again soon!
Negative experience: I scheduled dental appointments for my children after finding out our previous pediatric dentist was OON with our new insurance. The dental insurance information was given over the phone at the same time I scheduled the appointments. I even had to call a couple days before to change my son’s appointment to a day earlier. Plenty of chances to let us know that my children aren’t listed on the dental insurance but we didn’t get informed of this until we came into the office just now for my son’s appointment!! The front person proceeded to tell me the cash price. Ummm no thanks. Very unprofessional that they didn’t do their job to verify insurance and let us know that my kids weren’t covered under the dental insurance BEFORE we came in for the appointment. Also a big waste of time to fill out their lengthy and redundant new patient paperwork with dental insurance information (had to upload the front and back of card AND manually enter the information in) if they aren’t going to utilize it to verify insurance. Have a bit more respect for other people’s time and practice professionalism if you’re running a dental office/business.
Hi Hue Cao! Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry for the frustration and inconvenience you experienced with your recent visit. We understand how valuable your time is, and it’s never our intention to cause delays or confusion regarding insurance verification.
Our standard process is to confirm insurance coverage prior to appointments, and we regret that this was not properly communicated in your case. We’re currently reviewing this situation with our front office team to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
We’d appreciate the opportunity to make things right and address your concerns directly. Please contact our office so we can personally assist you and help resolve this matter. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention

We are 100% satisfied with the outstanding care we've received at Lollipop Dental. Thank you!

Hi, Hanan!
This is greatly appreciated! We’re glad to hear that we were able to provide an amazing dental experience for your little one! Thank you for your continued trust and support. See you around! Stay safe with the whole fam! ❤️❤️❤️
Negative experience: Very unprofessional and disappointing experience. I’ve been dealing with this clinic for months for my daughter, who has special needs and is nonverbal, and she has been suffering from severe tooth pain. They requested paperwork from her doctor and her cardiologist, which I provided. Then they gave us an appointment and charged me $100 upfront even though my daughter has full insurance coverage. I paid just to get the procedure done so she could be out of pain. From the start, I told them her doctor said the procedure should be done in a hospital. They insisted it could be done in their clinic. Then, less than 24 hours before the scheduled procedure, they suddenly called to say it must be done in a hospital—exactly what I had told them from the beginning. After I posted my review, they replied with a polite public apology. But here’s what actually happened behind the scenes: • The staff member who informed me about the cancellation literally hung up on me. • I called multiple times—first I was told I’d get a call back before noon (no one called), then the next day someone finally called me but was extremely rude. • I asked several times to speak to a supervisor or manager, and was always told “they will call you,” but that never happened. • Instead of helping, they told me I had to contact the hospital myself and start the whole process all over again. Meanwhile, my daughter—who has special needs, is nonverbal, and has been on pain medication daily—was left waiting in pain. Their apology doesn’t change the fact that they wasted months of our time, caused my daughter unnecessary suffering, and charged me $100 with no clear refund. Families with children who have special needs deserve better than miscommunication, disrespect, and zero compassion.
Hi Noha! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry to hear about the challenges you and your daughter have faced, and we deeply regret any added stress this situation has caused—especially when your daughter is in pain and requires urgent care.
We understand how critical it is to provide timely, appropriate, and compassionate treatment—particularly for children with special needs. It’s clear from your account that we fell short in communication, coordination, and in ensuring a smooth process for your daughter’s care. That is not the experience we strive to provide, and we take your concerns very seriously.
We are actively reviewing your case internally to better understand what went wrong and how we can improve our processes moving forward. Regarding the $100 payment, we recognize how frustrating this has been and will follow up directly to provide clarity on the refund status.
Please know that your feedback is not being taken lightly. If you are open to it, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly to apologize in person and to ensure your concerns are fully addressed.
Fantastic experience: We love coming to Lollipop Dentistry! I just visited with my two kids, and as always, the experience was amazing.

Hi Mia! Thank you for sharing this sweet review! We’re so happy to hear that Perla helped your little sister feel calm and comfortable during her cleaning. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with her it will make her day!
Negative experience: 1. They were dishonest in their billing practices. My kids were there every 6 months for the last two years. Last appointment, they asked me to pay an old balance which dated18 months ago. I asked them why you waited until now to told me about this old bill. Maria and Olivia told me that sometimes it takes insurance longer time to pay for their dentists. They told me I can call my dental insurance to find out the charges. If I don't pay now they will cancel my kids appointments and I will have to pay cancelation fees. I asked them to give me a printout of the bill so I read. They said no papers at their office, only email. Then, both of them showed me their unwelcome attitudes like we there beg them for free dental services. But they forgot that because of our business that why they have their jobs. So, Maria and Olivia, please learned to look at your customers when you speak to them, not looking in your PC while talking. Hope the owners know that there are so many dentists in Orange County to choose from.
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry for the frustration you experienced regarding your billing and interaction with our team. We understand how unexpected balances can be upsetting, and it’s always our goal to communicate clearly and respectfully with every family we serve.
We would appreciate the opportunity to review your account in detail, clarify the charges, and address your concerns directly. Please contact our office at 714-592-0039 so we can work toward a resolution. Your feedback is important to us, and we take it seriously as we continually work to improve our processes and service.

Negative experience: This is the worst dentist you could get, they have no patience don’t want to treat kids they have inappropriate tools for small kids they just push for general anesthesia. all they care about is money. Go somewhere else !!
Hi Eva! Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and take your concerns very seriously. At Lollipop Dental, our priority is always the comfort, safety, and well-being of every child we treat.
General anesthesia is only recommended for certain cases when it’s the safest and least traumatic option for the child, especially for very young patients, those with extensive dental needs, or children who are unable to tolerate treatment while awake. We understand this can feel overwhelming, and we always do our best to thoroughly explain all options to parents.
We’d love the opportunity to speak with you directly to better understand your concerns and see how we can make this right. Please feel free to reach out to us, and we’d be happy to discuss this further.

Negative experience: Made 2 appointments. Was told they will see children on the spectrum. I came in, then my child was denied a visit and told her needed a note from his primary doctor. When I made the appointment over the phone, advised her of my child's medical issues, she never once said I would need a note from his primary doctor.... which at that point I could have gotten for this appointment! BS

Hi, Nazmie!
This is greatly appreciated! We’re glad to hear that we were able to provide an amazing dental experience for your little one! Thank you for your continued trust and support. See you around! Stay safe with the whole fam! ❤️❤️❤️
Negative experience: Brought my daughter in for her appointment on 4/7/2025 - COSTA MESA location and had a terrible experience. I’m guessing the girl who cleaned my daughters teeth is new because she barely cleaned them and I had to ask for specific things to be done that are included in your routine clean up to be done which she didn’t completely do & let’s not forget not knowing what tool to use on her teeth. She had to call backup to ask which tools she should be using! Then when checking out they tell me that I have to make an appointment for my daughter’s medications? What medications? None of this was talked about and we came home with $160 less and a dirty mouth. I’ve tried calling and they take my message and say they’ll get back to me which they have not. Don’t waste your money. I should have gone to Tiny Tooth. If you’re reading this review, look elsewhere!
