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

READ MOREIncredible patient care!  From the phone contact to the office environment, everything is designed to consider the patient.  I don't know anyone who LIKES going to the dentist, but Dr. Desai makes the process as good as possible.  She takes infinite care throughout, from the initial examination to the execution of the work.  She is the first dentist that has developed a long-range plan and who took the time to explain how some things, like the movement of teeth over time, can impact the thinning of the enamel.  She is also really good at making the process as pain-free as possible, between watching Netflix movies during procedures and the excellent administration of local anesthetic.

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.

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

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

When I first walked in, it felt as if I had stepped into a spa but instead of getting my nails done I was about to get my teeth done! From checking in with Manny the receptionist to having x-rays completed by Jennifer the hygienist to having an through exam with deep cleaning with Dr. Desai, everything was absolutely perfect.

The environment is calming and relaxing. Not something you would expect at the dentist office. There was a moment I dosed off as I waited for my mouth to become numb from the anesthesia. In my previous visits to a dentist office I would have been sitting there tense and clutching onto the chair.

Dr. Desai is thoughtful in her process, she explains everything clearly, she is gentle and diligent during the procedure and you can sense her passion for dentistry.

Worth the drive and every penny. I have found my new permanent dentist!!!! READ LESS

Dr Desai is exactly what I and I'm sure who every one else is looking for, AN EXCEPTIONAL DENTIST. From the moment you meet Dr Desai you feel at ease. Her office shows how detailed she is before you even go through your thorough exam. She explains everything and shows you what she's talking about. Her staff is just as impressive as the doctor. Great dentist and great team. I needed some dental work and I can actually say I was looking forward to returning, when she gave the anesthetic I didn't even feel the "shot".  I highly recommend this dental office you won't regret your choice.

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

I’ve already been extremely impressed with the office staff and Dr. Desai in how friendly, knowledgeable and caring they are. The office is beautiful, and it’s always such a pleasant experience when I visit. Veneers are an investment, and it’s nice to be in the hands of someone who knows what they’re doing, cares as much as she does, and wants to make you happy. I’ve only had 2 appointments with her thus far, but would highly recommend her! You won’t be disappointed! 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

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
