I have been going to Smile Dental for a few years now, and I really like them. I switched over after my previous dental office was not honest with billing—we were charged for items we were told would not be billed for before the service. It was a nightmare.
I don’t have those kinds of problems at Hello Smile. Dr. Ju always lets us know the fees before performing any service. Each visit, he carefully examines my teeth, explains his findings and recommendations, and makes sure I understand the costs in advance.
The receptionist, Jackie, is wonderful—always taking care of us and sending appointment reminders. The dental assistants are also amazing and very caring. I had a crown done before, and she even helped me match the color—I didn’t even know that was a thing!
Dr. Ju might not seem very warm at first, but he is very caring. I once had an emergency with a painful tooth, and he called me after hours to check on me and made sure I was seen and taken care of as soon as possible.
The office is also very clean with new equipment. My girls love it here because they can watch their favorite shows during the visit (they don’t get much screen time at home, so it’s a treat for them).
I would highly recommend Hello Smile!

I was truly impressed with the friendliness and the professionalism of the entire staff. Dr. Ju was exceptionally welcoming and provided a complete tour of the facility prior to my session. Everything was extremely clean and in pristine condition. All of the instruments and technology used for my procedure was top-notch, the latest technology. During my treatment, Dr. Ju was always very sensitive to how I was doing, often checking on me to make sure things were good. I was just so impressed with my whole experience from the time I walked into the office.

They were able to fit me in last minute which was great. The lady at the front desk was wonderful. My nurse was also amazing and caring. My dentist who did my wisdom tooth extraction did a great job. Also very low price! I highly recommend them to anyone. Ill be going back again when I need to.

I had an old implant that was causing a lot of pain. Dr Ju was able to quickly and accurately diagnose the problem with his assessment and the in-office CT scan. He then proceeded to remove the implant without any complications. The office was clean and all of the equipment looked state of the art. The whole experience was very pleasant and would recommend Dr Ju to anyone for any dental needs!

Today I had my first appointment with Dr Ju at Hello Smile Dental and it was a very positive experience. He and his assistant Sol were absolutely great. Normally I am freaked out about going to the dentist but the spotless office environment combined with the relaxed vibe of Dr. Ju and Sol made me feel instantly relaxed and comfortable. For me that's huge. As the appointment progressed everything that was going on was explained in detail and all my questions were answered completely, professionally and with genuine care. After 20 years my current dentist has retired and I am very happy I have found my new dentist...... I highly recommend Dr. Ju and Hello Smile Dental.

Restorative options include crowns, inlays and onlays, dentures and partials, root canal treatment and bridges.
