READ MOREDr. Desai is amazing.  You can tell she really cares about her patients.  For someone who doesn't like visiting the dentist, she made me feel really comfortable.  I felt like my previous dentist was always trying to get me to pay for procedures I didn't need.  But Dr. Desai, didn't make me feel that way at all.  She is honest and her passion shines through in her work.   Her new office, is a plus too!  She seems to be equipped with all of the latest technology....no more old school dentist for me!

READ MOREThis was my first visit seeing a Dentist in many years.  Needless to say I was nervous..  From the beginning to end, the assistant Terry and receptionist Lisa were awesome and super nice. When I sat down with Dr Desai, she was great and explained everything to me in a very caring way that was easy to understand.  Being a dentist visit, it's never really a great experience, but I have to see, Dr Desai and her staff are really good and I will recommend them to all my friends, family and associates.

READ MOREI came in to Luminous Smiles beacause a friend of mine had referred me and kept bugging me to get into the dentist( mostly because I have had bad experiences) I am so glad I came in. Let's start with the office. It's beautiful! And is up to date with all the cool technology for dentistry. And the staff is great! Manny was so helpful in the front office and Jennifer her assistant is sweet and gental. And Dr.Desai well she is amazing!!! She used an infra oral camara and got some pics of my teeth, and we talked about what the game plan is going to be for the work I need done. For my weekend away and for a little added sparkle to my smile I had a gem added to my canine tooth, and I absolutely love it!!!! READ LESS

I have full confidence that Dr. Desai is going to work her magic to give me the smile I’ve always dreamed of. I’ll also mention that she was AMAZING with my two year old, who had never been to a dentist before. Her friendly staff went the extra mile to make sure his first dentist experience was special, and it was. If you’re looking for a family dentist you can trust, choose Luminous Smiles. READ LESS

Upon entering this gorgeous, state of the are dental office, you're greeted warmly by Adriana, who takes care of your front office needs. She kept me abreast of what my insurance covered and discussed fees before my husband and son were even seen. I felt financially informed and prepared. Let's talk about this office's atmosphere: The decor of the office is a beautiful marble and modern black and gold color palette with an elegant simplicity! Totally inviting and unlike a typical, cold, and sterile dental office. When you meet Dr. Dimple Desai, a vibrant, young woman, you may catch yourself questioning if she's truly THE dentist here. Yes, she certainly is! Sooo personable, thorough, and you feel completely at ease! When you're laying in the dental chair, you can look up to a flat screen TV to view intraoral X-rays, pictures of your teeth, or watch a movie. Everything in the operatory is meticulously clean and I immediately felt a sense of ease. My husband and son had an exam, X-rays and teeth cleaning! No complaints, just sheer satisfaction! No excessive treatment planning. She gave the run down on what was absolutely necessary and what we could wait on. I received the appropriate specialty referrals, a cool goodie bag with all the home dental care fixins', and a follow up text message the next day. First class service for a first class dental office! Thank you Dr. Desai and staff!!! READ LESS

Very professional  Explanation of every aspect of the exam. Very excited to continue treatment and have a wonderful smile.

My family and I have been seeing Dr. Desaj for a couple of years now. My son, then 4, hated going to the Dentist until he start seeing Dr. Desai. She has the best bedside manner, she always informs my son of her next steps which makes it easier for him.  Plus he gets to watch his favorite show on the tv while getting his teeth cleaned.

Prior to coming to see her, I embarrassing hadn't been to the dentist is years. Last year, I had to have her replace a partial porcelain filling. I had to receive multiple shots but Dr. Desai was so gentle that all I could feel was a little pinch.

I respect her, trust her and know she is giving us and providing us the best dental care.

Plus her office is beyond cute and her staff is knowledgeable and kind. READ LESS

She is detail oriented and explains her treatment plan thoroughly while ensuring her patients understand what is going on. Her office staff are friendly; the office is clean, chic, and comfortable. It feels like I'm right at home! Dr Desai is patient and has the most amazing bedside manners I have encountered from a health care professional. She really treats you as if you are her own family member. I am also having her treat my moms as she has a lot of work to be done; Dr Desai is not only making sure her teeth are healthy and well preserved --but making them look aesthetically pleasing so my mom can have a confident smile again! I certainly recommend anyone and everyone to check out luminous smiles! READ LESS

I came in a bit hesitant and nervous since I hadn't seen a dentist in awhile. Had heard this was a new office, had the latest technology and their IG page shared a lot about the doc.
The office is in a big medical building but since she's on the 1st floor, you see it right when you walk up. Immediately you notice the decor...its gorgeous. Black and gold wallpaper, marbles looking floors, white furniture...looks like an ultra modern Newport Beach office. When you walk in the front office,  the staff greeted me, and Manny was so friendly and accommodating!
Once I filled out my paperwork, I was seated in these super soft plush chairs. Something weird to be mentioning...but when I was getting my work done, I realized how soft the seats were, which soothed some nerves.
Dr. Desai is very warm and friendly (as all dentists should be), but one thing stood out was that she's very thorough. I actually got to see my X-rays and teeth pictures up on the screen (oh yea she also streams Netflix on those!), we went thru my treatment plan, and I knew exactly what was going to be done!  Not all docs do that...they just tell you they see 2 cavities and need to do a deep cleaning. I actually saw the 'need' for the work I was getting done!  She was very gentle and made sure my nerves were settled every step of the way.
All in all, an amazing office, staff and doctor. I would definitely recommend her to everyone! READ LESS

READ MOREI've had quite a few bad experiences with dentists in the past, ranging from shoddy work to superfluous diagnoses, so when I moved into the area, I wasn't necessarily jumping at the chance to start the process over. After seeing the incredible bridgework Dr. Desai did on a friend of mine, and hearing her rave over the experience, I decided to give Luminous Smiles a go. In addition to her straightforward and informative approach to the issues I personally had, Dr. Desai was also fantastic with my children. After a rough experience at another local office, they both left their appointments smiling and happy. The office is sleek and inviting and they were happy to work with me on my schedule and took the time to walk me through my insurance premiums. Dr. Desai genuinely loves her craft and it shows on all levels. READ LESS

READ MOREI walked into Luminous Smiles because they were advertising a Grand Opening $99. Teeth whitening special. Dr Desai and her staff are friendly and welcoming. Since it'd been three months since I'd had my teeth cleaned she recommended I get them cleaned prior to the procedure for better results. I'm glad I did. Dr Desai assured me she'd give a great cleaning as she had been a dental hygienist for 7 years, deciding to become a dentist and working her way through school. Her cleaning was excellent. I'm glad she pointed out I'm brushing too hard. Dr Desai showed me how to more effectively brush to avoid further gum loss and she showed me on my arm how I'll periodically feel my teeth have a 10 second reaction to the whitening procedure. Glad she did as the few times I've felt it I was prepared. My teeth look great! READ LESS

Dr Desai, Lisa, Terri were excellent. They really care about their patients. From the moment I walked in Lisa greeted me and got in to my appointment with ease. Terri was very comforting and pleasant during my x-ray process. Dr Desai is amazing, she goes over your x-rays from top to bottom, she answers any questions and concerns you have regarding your visit. The office is very modern and has all the cool technology to best help their patients needs. I really appreciate how your appointment is not rushed and goes over everything. The whole staff was so great at getting me set up with any future dental needs with a plan. I highly recommend this office. Go see them..!! It’s worth it.! READ LESS

First time stepping into Dr. Dimple Desai's office I thought it was a spa, but it was the dentist and let me tell you i don't like alot of dentist places but this one made me feel at ease.

Dr. gives new patients really good recommendations and if something doesn't fit or go to your liking she doesn't push it on you, It's what you want . READ LESS

Being that the office just opened, it was obviously spotless but it was also the nicest dentist office I have ever been in. You can tell that they really care about a patient's first impression.

Overall, Jennifer and Dr. Desai were extremely friendly and made sure that I understood everything that was happening. Even with a new crown and some minor gum surgery, the most challenging part of my visit was filling out the paperwork.

My son also went in for a cleaning and the overhead TV really helped him be calm during his appointment. READ LESS

READ MOREI have never liked dentists, I get anxiety thinking about it and it's even worse when I actually have to go in and see one. Because of this, I've been extremely picky when it comes to choosing a dentist. Before signing up for my dental insurance, I looked around for the best dentist in Newport Beach and then looked at their websites, social media pages, and most importantly, their credentials. The only dentist that I found in a 50 mile radius that had amazing reviews, a modern office and graduated from a prestigious school was DR. Desai. Upon walking into the office, I was immediately impressed with the decore, you could tell that a lot of time and energy was spent to give the place the vibe it does. I immediately felt st home. The check in process was a breeze (they use an iPad for this and paperwork). When I was called back I was immediately greeted by Dr Desai. She was warm and welcoming which is a feeling I've never had from a Dentist. I was seated and talked to like a human being. She wanted to know about me before my teeth. Once we were done the assistant took my X-rays and did a fantastic job being gently. He took his time, was energetic, and you could tell he truly loved his job and where he worked. Upon the x rays being completed Dr Desai and I discussed next steps. The only feedback I have is to make sure you have a lot of time the first appointment. I had set aside two 1/2 hours and was still in a rush to get out of there. The treatment plan was rushed through because I had a doctor appointment I needed to go through. I also don't love that they want you to sign off on a treatment plan before you can take time to absorb it and ask to changes to the plan on timeline etc. then again this part was rushed so maybe it's done differently had I had more time. I look forward to coming back and having Dr Desai perform work to get my teeth to where I want them to be. READ LESS
