Update Review 9/12/2026 I just had my implant crown placed at perfect smile dental Group in Whittier. The crown looks very natural and very comfortable when I chew. The whole dental visit experience was painless. I’m glad that I have found Dr. Michael Yang and I would recommend to my family and friends and anyone who is looking for a good dentist in Whittier. ————————————————- Update Review 2/22/2026 My severe grinding broke my dental bridge a few days ago. I recently had dental implants at Perfect Smile Dental Group in Whittier. My friends and family had implants done at another office and told me it was going to hurt a lot, but my dental implant placements at Perfect Smile Dental Group was painless, smooth and quick! I did have mild discomfort as expected. I was back to normal in 2 days. I am so excited to get my implant crowns in 3 months and won't have to hassle with flossing under my bridge no more! Dr. Yang is highly skill, professional and very patient. He took time to explain to me everything about dental implants before we started my case. I wanted to know about the process and healing time and whether it will hurt. After talking to Dr. Yang, I felt reassured and wanted to move forward with my dental implants and I am glad I did! It did not hurt at all! ---------------------------------------------------- Due to severe grinding, many of my teeth have problems. I hesitated going to the dentist for many years. My main reason for coming to the dentist was that my dental bridge broke. When I came to see Dr. Yang, his office was clean, welcoming and professional. The staff was really friendly. Dr. Yang was very through during the exam. He took photos of my teeth and showed me on the X-rays where I had cavities and where I needed to have dental crowns to prevent my teeth from breaking. He told me I need a night guard to protect my teeth from breaking when I grind my teeth when I am sleeping. I was very impressed with his attention to details. He took his time in explaining and answering all my questions. I don’t think I have had a dentist that cared enough to take the time to explain everything so I can understand what was going on in my mouth. I had the best cleaning. My teeth never felt so clean before! I have been coming here for my dental needs and have been very happy with their customer service that I decided to stay with this dentist for my dental implants. I highly recommend this office!

I got my fillings done here and plan to get the rest of my treatment plan finished. Dr. Yang is amazing, very kind and wasn’t afraid to explain things in detail as to why I needed certain treatments. He has great skills and I was even falling asleep during my fillings. Also Sarahy at the front desk is super nice and definitely calms your dental anxiety if you have any. I would recommend this place to anyone that needs a gentle dentist and a dental office that actually cares about their patients! I wasn’t able to get to the dentist in about 5 years and I came here originally for a second opinion after my previous dentist wanted about 7k to cap all my teeth because “fillings were just not possible.” Dr. Yang made it possible. Now I can focus on treatment that will better my smile and oral health. Thank you Perfect Smile Dental Group!!!

I am amazed at the time, expertise and personal care that Dr. Yang and staff provided. I searched for many Dentist in my area and my decision to use this office for me and my family was based on what Google reviews MY COMMUNITY has left. I trust the community's recommendations and am glad I have found such a special Dentist office for me and my family.

I haven’t been to the dentist in a few years. My last dentist would always say my teeth are fine and no further work needed even though I would complain about pain. It wasn’t a surprise when I decided to finally look for a new dentist due to the pain that I would need to get 9 fillings. Sarahy is the absolute best. She’s super friendly/professional. She explained my insurance cost and even provided payment plans. Dr Yang made the fillings as painless as can be. He thoroughly explained the process of what was going to be done before, explained the aftercare and answered any questions I had. I will definitely be recommending family and friends.

I can't say enough great things about this dentist! My son came in with a very painful toothache, and the doctor got us in quickly and immediately helped him get relief. What really stood out was how thorough and caring he was. He took detailed pictures of my son's teeth, displayed them on the screen, and walked us through everything step by step. He explained what he was seeing in a way that was easy to understand and made sure we felt comfortable and informed before making any decisions. His bedside manner was outstanding--friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring. You can tell he loves what he does and truly wants his patients to understand their dental health. The entire experience was professional, stress-free, and reassuring. Front office is outstanding as well. If you're looking for a dentist who provides exceptional care and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend him. 10/10 experience. We are so grateful for the care my son received!

I found this office through Yelp, and the amazing staff reviews are what convinced me to give them a try. I'm happy to say they were absolutely right on the 1st day! From my first phone call, Sarah was friendly, welcoming, and helped verify my insurance. I shared that I hadn't been to the dentist in a while and have a strong gag reflex, and everyone was incredibly understanding and accommodating. The dentist was kind, informative, and never judgmental. Sarah also took the time to explain my treatment plan, payment options, and next steps. The entire team made me feel comfortable and cared for so far.

I was in the market for a new dentist and came across Perfect Smile Dental Group here on Yelp. With all the positive reviews I decided to go in and see for myself. I had a chipped tooth and desperately needed a cleaning and X-rays as well. The staff were extremely friendly and informative and took care of all my requests during my appointment. They provided quality care and did a great job with my cleaning. They also did a great job with my filling for my chipped tooth, which looks brand new! Definitely will be looking to be a life long patient at this dental practice.

Being a new patient I was apprehensive about seeing a new dentist or even going into a new office, but I needed a cleaning fast and found Dr Yang's office, Perfect Smile Dental Group. The entire facility was very clean, decorative, organized and friendly. The staff made me feel welcomed, Julie the assistant was very professional and courteous. Dr Yang was very thorough, conversant and compassionate about his work. He gave me suggestions on how to maintain my teeth better, what my x rays consist of and what cleaning schedules would be ideal for future appointments. Perfect Smile Dental Group is top quality that everyone should be looking for, and I'm glad I found them. Thank you guys, see you at my next appointment.
