Inland Choice Dental - Dentist Riverside

In the past, my experiences at other dental offices often felt very transactional — each tooth and each procedure treated independently, without much discussion about the bigger picture. I’ve had a lot of dental work done since I was young, including fillings and caps/crowns that needed to be replaced, and over time I started to feel embarrassed and ashamed about the state of my teeth. From my very first visit, Dr. Andrew Choi approached my care completely differently. He treated me with genuine patience, professionalism, and empathy. He understood how self-conscious I felt and never once made me feel judged. Instead, he took the time to educate me, explain what was happening, and reassure me that I wasn’t “doing everything wrong.” That meant more to me than I can express. What really stood out was how comprehensive and thoughtful his approach was. Rather than addressing issues one by one without context, he created a detailed, long-term treatment plan that prioritized what needed to be done and mapped everything out clearly. The plan spanned about two years, and because of his careful planning, I was able to maximize my dental benefits while steadily improving my oral health. Dr. Andrew Choi’s patience, dedication, and compassion truly set him apart. I recommend him to everyone I can, and I’m so grateful to have found a dentist who treats the whole person — not just individual teeth. The support staff have the same energy as Dr. Andrew and really treat you as a person not just a dollar sign or an appointment. Jennifer B.

$400 for each cavity, × two. I also included a cleaning, so total was $999, for these three tasks. I am not sure if this is a good rate or not, I did not have time to call around... 🤔 They did offer "Care Credit" and "Chery", to help make this doable 😵‍💫 🫨 Anyway, I came in with pain on the lower right side of my face- I had thought that was one of the cavities. However, it was not- and doctor was not able to figure out why there was pain and sensitivity, on that lower right side. The pain continues- maybe they can re-check next time, during the cleaning. I will update with more later, after the cleaning... * Update: I got the cleaning done by Crystal. She did her job, she also figured out what the pain on the lower right side was. It appears It is my gums receding, and causing sensitivity. She also discovered "3 more cavities" after the cleaning!!! So, now I will have to wait on this, or utilize "Cherry" for another $1,300... I wish I could have done this all together- and just utilized "Cherry" or "Care Credit", just one time for all. My visit was still okay- even with the "3 more cavities SURPRISE" lol. I will definitely get a second opinion this time, and most likely not be returning here. I just don't understand why they could not identify ALL the cavities the first time around during their: "State of The Art X-rays, 3D Scans, AI, & Exams" etc, etc, Lol. Anyway, the ladies in the front office are both very sweet, I appreciate them- take care!

I found this dentist on TikTok, and honestly it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my dental health. I have extreme fear of the dentist and I’m also missing teeth, which has made me embarrassed and anxious for years. Walking into an office usually fills me with dread — but not here. From the moment I walked in, there was zero judgment. Not one look, not one comment that made me feel ashamed. Instead, they made me feel safe, heard, and comfortable. Every step was explained clearly, patiently, and with compassion. They took the time to make sure I understood everything and never rushed me. What truly stood out is how they treated me like family, not just another patient. They acknowledged my fear, respected my past experiences, and worked with me — not against me. For the first time in a long time, I felt hopeful instead of scared sitting in a dental chair. If you’re someone who’s afraid of the dentist, has missing teeth, or has avoided care because of past trauma or embarrassment — this is the place. I am so grateful I found them and can finally start my journey to healing with confidence. Highly, highly recommend. ❤️

The entire team (from front desk, dental assistants, dental hygienist, and the Drs) at Inland Choice Dental has been fantastic! It is clear that they communicate well amongst themselves and with their patients. There is a positive atmosphere. They explain any treatment needs, appointments, insurance coverage, and financial plans thoroughly. They send appointment reminders, electronically share signed forms, and print cost breakdowns. There is minimal to zero wait time. Lastly, Dr. Andrew Choi did a smooth job numbing - it was the least uncomfortable and most painless experience I have had with numbing injections!!! 🙌🏼

First-Class Dental Experience with Dr. Choi! I had an absolutely first-cabin experience as a new patient at Inland Choice Dental, seeing Dr. Choi. From the moment I arrived, the reception staff was incredibly nice and friendly. They offer great amenities like free water and coffee in the waiting room, and the option to complete all paperwork online or in the office on a tablet made my check-in seamless. The technology is top-notch! The X-ray and imaging equipment was excellent, and the results appeared immediately on the exam room screen. Both the tech and Dr. Choi were great. Dr. Choi took the time to thoroughly go over every detail of my results. This clinic is the perfect size—not a giant conveyor belt, but also not a small shop with outdated equipment. It features a large, friendly staff and updated technology. Highly recommend!
