Trooth & Smiles - Irvine, California

Amber Castro

I cannot accurately put into words the difference Dr. Mita has made in my life. I have maybe the worst dental anxiety….ever? Which has always kept me from going to the dentist, even as my teeth deteriorated and broke. And it snowballed, fear turned to shame and then fear again and my teeth got worse and worse and more painful. Finally, I was experiencing an infection so bad that I ended up in the ER with IV antibiotics with my husband frantically searching emergency dentists in Orange County. We came across Trooth and Smiles and I could immediately tell this place was different based on the vibes of their website. They fit us in immediately for an emergency extraction. I prepared myself for the ultimate judgement and shameful speech of “how the heck did you let your mouth get so bad?”. But I was met with the opposite; warmth, compassion and understanding. Even through my mild panic attack and lots of tears, I never felt like I was being judged. It was the opposite, I felt like they genuinely cared about me and wanted me to feel better. My mouth needs a TON of work, and there’s honestly no other dentist I’d want to go to. Dr. Mita and all her staff are seriously so warm and inviting and perfect for someone with maybe the worst case of dental anxiety ever. I cannot recommend their dental office in Irvine enough. My adult daughter and my husband are now patients there and I’m recommending Trooth and Smiles to everyone I know.

I have extreme dental anxiety due to past unprofessional and traumatizing dental experiences, even though I would consider myself a tough person. I found this dental office through looking online for nearby dental offices that might be "dentist anxiety friendly" and found this place in the search results. I have already been here for 1 deep cleaning on a tooth, and 2 regular dental cleanings, and I actually enjoy going to the dentist now, even with my braces. I leave the office literally feeling like my teeth are really clean, and I like how the dentist seems to really care about giving back to her community here in Irvine. She is also honest / straightforward and professional with patients when they first walk in here. The front office are also nice and professional.

I never thought I'd be excited to go to the dentist, but here I am. Dr. Mita and her team are extremely thorough and caring. They explain everything in easy-to-understand terms and give you a breakdown of what to expect prior to your visit.

The office is immaculate, has brand-new equipment, and even features TVs on the ceiling. Highly recommend!

Where to start? The 1st time I went, the owner sat down with me to ask me what I came for and listened careful for my needs and requests. The hygienist was delicate when doing the xrays, and soft doing the cleaning. No pain. They have tv on the ceiling and headsets so can not only see but actually hear while they work on your teeth.
Staff is truly friendly and the service is incredible.

I had an outstanding experience at the dental clinic. The dentist displayed exceptional knowledge, passion, honesty, and patience. Additionally, the supporting staff were amiable, and the office was impeccably clean, equipped with state-of-the-art dentistry tools.

Great dentist. The front office team is the best! Dentist and hygienist were thorough and explained everything very well. I felt very comfortable.

Let me begin by saying I have mostly had horrible traumatic experiences at the dentist, but this place is different. The staff is incredible, and the priority on your comfort is great. I have now had nothing but good experiences ever since coming here. Worth the investment.

Dr. Mita is one of the best doctors I've gone to. She is thorough, knowledgeable, considerate, and compassionate, with a genuine desire to help her patients understand their oral health and take it in hand. Her demeanor is genuine and positive, and despite being very busy, I always feel that she gives me her full attention to listen to and answer my questions during our visits.

My initial visit with Dr. Mita set the tone, as she did a very thorough examination and then took significant time to evaluate and discuss my current oral health. That experience immediately established a sense of shared awareness and active management that has carried through in subsequent visits. As a patient, that thorough initial visit was so very appreciated, and from then on, I consistently leave my appointments feeling that I have received the best care possible for my oral health.

And Dr. Mita is also a genuinely positive force in the community. I found her through Terracycle, as Dr. Mita and her team collect toothbrushes and other oral care items to be sent for recycling, ensuring those plastics get repurposed. It is gestures like this (among many others) that make Dr. Mita and her team stand out in my mind as a force for good in the world; they are a team that demonstrates care and consideration on both micro and macro levels.

I would hands down recommend Trooth & Smiles!
