Marina Smiles Dentistry

I’ve been coming to Marina Smiles for almost 8 years, and I still remember the day I heard that Danita was back! It was truly a joyous moment because she was terribly missed for that short time of her absence. She is incredibly special and truly knows her stuff. I always tell her that every time I brush, floss, or gargle with salt water, I think of her—in the best way, of course. Her caring and warmth demeanor always makes me leave with such a happy feeling. Thank you, Danita! I had never met Dr. Park until today, and she pleasantly surprised me. Her thoroughness in checking my teeth and clearly explaining what needs to be done gave me such a sense of relief. I now feel informed and confident about my dental care, and I’m grateful she was the doctor who helped me today. I also met Gerald for the first time today. From the moment he took my X-rays, he made me feel comfortable. His professionalism matched his warm personality—he was polite, kind, and very reassuring. This office continues to remind me why I’ve been a loyal patient for so many years.

I worked with Luz at the beginning and she got me in an an emergency appointment with no problem with a smile on her face. Dr. Park was very gentle and professional. But I really appreciated was Luz though with her sweet attitude even even this close to the holidays. I think it's hard to find a good dentist office these days! This is a GREAT one!

This was my first time visiting and I was pleasantly surprised by the highly professional, and incredibly Well mannered young dental assistant named Victor, who took extensive x-rays with the latest in technology equipment. This office is very well staffed with the most kind and personable people I have ever encountered in one place. My dental hygienist Ryan was as kind and gentle and thoughtful and thorough a cleaning as I have ever had. No sore gums coming out of there. Highly recommend. They are my new dentist office. Karen C.

I am shocked! It’s the 1st time in my life (and I’m in my late 30s) that I’ve gone to a dentist for a yearly cleaning and literally walked out without a clean because I refused to get additional recommended treatments by the dentist Angela Park. I just left from my appointment (and anxious because I had to leave my newborn at home) to go get the yearly cleaning as covered by my insurance… the doctor tells me my teeth are okay with no cavities or issues at the moment. Then they want to charge me $900+ for a DEEP CLEANING, which I decline and repeatedly ask for what is covered with my insurance, but the doctor says she can’t because that’s not her recommendation and will jeopardize her license. Really? I pay for dental so I can get this cleaning and X-rays done every year and I have never felt so pushed. Unfortunately I did get the photos and X-rays done there already at the start of my appointment so they will get paid for that by my insurance. My husband recommended this change in dentist and I’m so disappointed. I’m African and my husband is Caucasian so we usually navigate to different clinics. My former dentist is a kind African American lady who doesn’t make me fill like just a $$ pocket book and I’m sad to Say that this is the treatment I got here my 1st time as i tried to make our family appointments easier by seeing the same doctors. my husband tells me he also can’t believe that I was denied a regular cleaning which he got already there by the way, but for some reason I with my good no cavity teeth & no issues teeth could not be given a regular cleaning too but was used for X-rays and the list of photos on the photo do they cana to bill the insurance. When I scheduled the appointment, it was literally for " regular cleaning "!!! Update: I got a call back from the office manager to say - they are sorry to hear I did not have a good experience but the doctor did what she thought was best by refusing to give me a regular teeth cleaning as I did not go with her recommendation for a deep cleaning that would have cost me $900. I asked if they could have done anything differently and the answer was evaded and the answer was basically NO. Discriminating and choosing whom to service depending on what ever criteria doctor Parker has made up? My husband did get a regular cleaning there and accepted to get a crown put on which did fall off and the tooth still has an infection. They put the crown back in for him recently at no additional cost… basically, if there’s a possibility that they will make more money off you and you have severe teeth issues, then you’ll get taken care of properly. If you have no issues and will not pay for the recommended deep cleaning for $900+ then you aee out with not even a regular cleaning I suppose.

Wow. State of the art equipment. Generous with their time and guidance. The "Dynamic Duo" strikes again! Christmas Eve day and my crown comes off a revealing a cavity! They stayed late to fix all and made what is normally a difficult appointment into a pleasant one. Generous with care, attention and holiday spirit. Best dentist duo I’ve ever had… Dr Park and Ashley❣️❣️

Danita has done two of my cleanings and both were fantastic. She did a great job of cleaning my teeth with no pain or discomfort. She is always very professional and I enjoy talking to her as she's also very personable.

I started going to Marina Smiles Dentistry on October 7th 2025. I really like this office. Everyone that I have interactions with have been really nice and professional. I really like my dentist Dr Nguyen she's excellent. I really like my dental hygienist Ryan he is simply amazing!!!! Very nice gentle and very caring. He did a deep cleaning on my teeth and gums and I had no pain. Ryan is the best dental hygienist that I have ever in my life. I will continue to go to this dental office Marina Smiles Dentistry!!! So far I'm very satisfied
