- 5 out of 5 stars. “I’ve had bad dental experiences in the past and did not want to go to the dentist. I broke a tooth so had no choice. My daughter in law and grandson had been to the Smile Spa and had a great experience so I called them for an appointment. I decided to do full mouth restoration to address all at one time. I had surgery 2 weeks ago. Extracted 3 teeth, 6 implants, sinus lift and bone graft. Got my stitches out today. A couple of days of discomfort was all!! Dr. Nguyen is amazing! Luz, his assistant made me feel comfortable. Looking forward to next steps with Dr.Joelle Elahad! All staff is wonderful! Highly recommend!!” — Google review, Aug 2026
- 5 out of 5 stars. “I have had the most wonderful dental experience of my life. I have been fortunate to have come across The Smile Spa during my researching dental implants. When I arrived I was greeted by two remarkable women receptionists. They were as friendly, personable and knowledgeable as I could have asked for. They answered all my questions and made me comfortable which for me is extremely difficult because I am deathly afraid of dentists,because of some bad experiences I’ve had in the past.I was ushered into an examine room where I was greeted by a lab assistant who took x-rays with a handheld devise I was more more comfortable with rather than the large machines I’ve always been frightened of because of my fear of radiation. After the x-rays were completed four medically clad people into the room. They were all very personable and friendly and again made me at ease.Dr. Sean did everything necessary to prepare the implant explaining every detail to me as he evaluated and prepared me for the implant after having previously placed a temporary device onto my tooth. Everything was completed with a half hour and I made an appointment for two week to have the implant done. Each of these people were extremely knowledgeable, comforting and pleasant.The cost of my services and the implant was very reasonable after I had done the cost research. I received services from soup to nuts and couldn’t have been Moore pleased. To make this even better the offices were state of the art, beautiful and warming. Thanks Dr. Sean, Dr. Elehad and staff for this marvelous experience.I wrote the above after I had one of those brand meeting and First getting my preparation for an implant, Yesterday I went into finally get my implant placed. I was anxious, thinking it could be painful even thinking about the possibility of going under anesthesia. However, I always told it wouldn’t be any pain. Just a little pressure and I shouldn’t waste my money on anesthesia. So I would reluctantly, if our doctor Shawn Nguyen to do the procedure after he explained it all to me. He had his sister explained everything as they were doing the procedure me and they can be confident that it was going to be very simple process for within 20 minutes. The implant is placed and tested for comfort and compatibility with the rest of my teeth. Everything was perfect, including my bite and the feeling of having the implant was certainly nice after having almost 2 years to have completed not the cost of anything they did, but because I was sick for all that time it was unable to have Dental workBut it was completed. Dr. Shawn stayed and talk to me for around 20 minutes describing why he and his wife Started their practice and have continued it all this time. They are exceptionally warm, brilliant, and among other things have done things for their community as well as internationally through the Mercy Ship.I am proud that these wonderful doctors decided to open their practice in our community and that they have done more than enough to make their mark in the dental world. After everything was done, I was greeted by one of the most enjoyable receptionist who expresse her concerns about my two-year illness, and how thrilled they were, I was finally well enough to complete the procedure and also that I was feeling so well.Steven Eichberg, Esquire” — Google review, Aug 2026
- 5 out of 5 stars. “For years, I’ve been afraid of going to the dentist as anything beyond a cleaning has always been an issue for years. .Many times I couldn’t get through trying to even get a filling.Smile Spa has state of the art instruments and the ability to put me under a twilight so that when I wake up my teeth are done and the idea of having to come back for everything one appointment at a time has been alleviated.I can’t tell you what a relief it has been to know that my teeth are taken care of.Aside from the fact that Dr. Joal and her husband are extremely knowledgeable and such amazing Dentists, they are kind and gentle and truly concerned .And further, their staff is amazing.From the office to everyone.It is a friendly environment, The office is exceptionally clean and beautiful.I brought my son so that he may continue to use them as his Dentist as well.” — Google review, Aug 2026
- 5 out of 5 stars. “The smile spa is amazing! I am very happy that I found them. I had such a horrible experience with my past dentist once they handed the practice off to someone new and was searching for a new group to become a patient of. My first attempt at another office was not a good experience either as they were overcharging and doing unnecessary work. My mother heard great reviews of the smile spa so I made an appointment. I am so happy I found them! The doctors and assistants are so knowledgeable and kind and they do NOT do unnecessary procedures. They are extremely warm, welcoming and trustworthy. The front desk staff is also so amazing and friendly and the office is beautiful. It’s been extremely easy to schedule appointments as well and I really love that I am able to text them to schedule! If you are searching for a dentist definitely try out the smile spa. They make me less afraid of going to the dentist as I know they willmake sure any issues I am having are resolved so I can be comfortable again!” — Google review, Aug 2026
- 5 out of 5 stars. “I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about The Smiles Spa! This review goes for both of their locations, as I’ve personally visited each one, and the experience has been consistently exceptional every single time.From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel welcomed, comfortable, and truly cared for. Everyone is professional, friendly, and attentive, which makes such a difference when it comes to dental visits.The doctors are incredible, and I have to give a special thank you to Dr. Joelle. Her attention to detail, patience, and commitment to perfection are unmatched. She takes her time to make sure everything is done beautifully and correctly, and you can genuinely feel how much she cares about her patients.It’s honestly so hard to find a dental office you can fully trust, but The Smiles Spa exceeded all my expectations. The quality of work, the cleanliness, and the overall atmosphere are top-tier at both locations.If you’re looking for a place that combines skill, professionalism, and genuine care, this is it. Highly, highly recommend!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️” — Google review, Apr 2026
- 5 out of 5 stars. “I want to preface this review by saying I am not someone who writes these lightly. I’ve had extensive dental work done throughout my life from crowns, a full implant, previous orthodontic work. I’ve sat through procedures that were genuinely traumatic, including feeling every stitch during my implant recovery. I know what bad dental experiences feel like, and I’ve had plenty of them at practices across Southern California. Which is exactly why I need everyone to know about Dr. Joelle and Dr. Shawn.What sets this practice apart isn’t just skill it’s that they genuinely love what they do. They’ve invested in exceptional technology, they communicate every step of the process clearly, and they treat you like a person, not a patient number. Their staff carries the same energy: warm, responsive, and attentive every single visit. On top of that, they’ve clearly thought about every aspect of your experience, including your time. My wisdom teeth recovery was quick enough that it barely disrupted my life, and my entire Invisalign treatment has been trackable virtually, removing the need for monthly maintenance appointments, just real progress I could follow from my phone.My migraines have significantly reduced. Correcting my bite has touched every part of my daily life from the way I eat to the way I sleep to my facial structure. I didn’t know how much I was compensating until I didn’t have to anymore. And for the first time in my life, I actually trust my dental team.” — Google review, Mar 2026
- 5 out of 5 stars. “I am 56 years old and, because I have moved many times in my life, I have been to many different dentists and I can say without hesitation that Dr. Shawn is by far the most superior dentist/periodontist I have ever seen. The work he did in my mouth was absolutely top-notch. His precision, expertise, and attention to detail are truly remarkable.Thank you so much, Dr. Shawn, for such an amazing job. My husband and I think you are a literal prodigy! Not only is your clinical skill exceptional, but your professionalism and care for your patients are evident in everything you do.I have already recommended several friends and family members, and every single one of them has been thrilled with their experience. You are a phenomenal periodontist, and I am so grateful to be under your care. Thank you again!!!” — Google review, Feb 2026
- 5 out of 5 stars. “The Smile Spa has been a great experience for me! I had to have my wisdom teeth out that I had been putting off for at least a year, and I came into the office as a new patient. Dr. Joelle gave me a thorough breakdown of my x-rays and made me feel extremely comfortable about the entire process. Dr. Shawn completed the procedure a week later, and it was much simpler and easier than I expected! Made a full recovery in less than a week. Not to mention they are extremely personable and it feels like they genuinely care about you as a patient and as a person! 10/10 would recommend them to any family and friends, easily one of the best dentist experiences I’ve had! Will definitely be coming back for any other procedures. Thank you Smile Spa!” — Google review, Feb 2026
- 5 out of 5 stars. “I am a new patient at The Smile Spa, and had my first visit with Dr. Joelle yesterday. The office is beautiful, and the staff is kind, patient, and professional. Dr. Joelle is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to truly explain what was going on with my persistent clicking/popping jaw.I’ve had jaw popping for over 10 years, and no one has been able to clearly explain the cause or offer real solutions. Dr. Joelle was able to provide answers and a treatment option during my visit, which was such a relief. I finally feel hopeful and excited moving forward.I am excited to tell all of my friends and family about The Smile Spa!” — Google review, Feb 2026
- 5 out of 5 stars. “Trusted My Smile to Them for 3 Years—Worth Every Mile!"As a patient of Smile Spa for over three years, I can confidently say this team goes above and beyond. Even after moving to another city, I still make the trip because their care is that exceptional.Recently, I needed a deep cleaning, and they accommodated my tight schedule without hesitation. Doctor Joelle was gentle and explained each step to put me at ease (no judgment here—just expert care. Wanted to also give a special thank you to Docter Shawn for taking care of my mother as I was also in the other room getting care. Docter Shawn has angel hands and has given my mother a beautiful smile. Thank you for making sure her smile is always healthy. The office vibe is always warm, caring, happy, peaceful and most importantly welcoming.It’s rare to find a dental practice that combines this level of skill, flexibility, and genuine kindness. Whether you’re nearby or a commute away, they’re 100% worth it. Forever grateful patient!” — Google review, Jun 2025
- 5 out of 5 stars. “After moving to Augora Hills my daughter needed to find a closer dentist. At her consultation, they said she needed 4 or 5 root canals and all her wisdom teeth extracted, totaling $21,000 out of pocket. She left in tears and called us in a panic.We decided to send her back to our long standing dentist 2.5 hours away in Mission Viejo, to get a second opinion. He said that was WAY too aggressive and unnecessary. She needed some work for sure, but only a few fillings and such. So glad we got a second opinion. She may need a root canal at some point later on, but something just felt way off with this assessment.I can understand a slight difference in professional opinion between dentists, but this was a HUGE discrepancy between treatment plans and more dentists these days seem to be "root canal happy". It's hard to know who to trust so I'm writing this review as a caution. Always get a second opinion if presented with an aggressive treatment plan.” — Google review, Feb 2025
- 5 out of 5 stars. “Had some trepidation because of this being the first time with this dental group for anything other than basic procedures. I was grateful that Dr. Shawn and Joelle were very calm, friendly and willing to answer questions. I was glad that the dental assistant was so nice and comforting by just talking to me and being gentle when it started to hurt a little. So grateful for the kindness of the whole office, their humor helps to relax, and most importantly, they make an effort to get you in as soon as possible. Hearing Joelle, on a Friday afternoon letting me know to call even on weekend they would be available if needed, was the best feeling and comfort. Sore tooth on weekend is not fun. I would highly recommend this entire practice.” — Google review, Jan 2025
- 5 out of 5 stars. “Love The Smile Spa. The two dentists are great and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. We were crushed and happy at the same time when our former dentist retired, yes you saw that right, he was my uncle so we're happy that he's retired, much deserved. Crushed because we know finding a good dentist is hard and we did see another dentist in between and that was a very unpleasant experience. Eventually we were introduced to The Smile Spa and now our whole family here in SoCal is being taken care of by them. My dad even got implants done there and I've never seen him more confident when smiling.We don't exactly live in the area but for the care and expertise, the drive is well worth it for us. Besides, I'm out voted by my little bosses anyways as my daughter thinks Dr. Joelle is awesome and my son thinks their office 3D printer and scanners are amazing gadgets. See ya'll for my cleaning soon!” — Google review, Jan 2025
- 5 out of 5 stars. “If there’s ten stars I’d be more than happy to rate it! The whole staff and doctor Shawn Nguyen are a top notch dental team. They’re so professional and so friendly. Whatever concerns and/or questions I had, I would text them and they would usually respond promptly. Doctor Nguyen is so skillful, so knowledgeable and so smooth at what he does. He and his staff went out of their way to explain everything before during and after each treatment. I love their clean and cozy office and especially their dental high tech equipments, all new high technology that I haven’t seen anywhere else. Thank you so much for making all my dental treatments at Smile Spa a wonderful experience.” — Google review, Oct 2024
- 5 out of 5 stars. “The Smile Spa is by far the most beautiful, clean, and professional office I've ever been to. Everyone there is extremely friendly, compassionate, and proficient at their jobs. The atmosphere and the kind staff at this office really helped ease any anxiety that I did have coming in to get dental work done. I had to get x-rays, an exam, 4 fillings, and a cleaning. It was a lot of work, and I've never had fillings done before. Dr. Shawn, Dr. Joelle, and the rest of the staff at The Smile Spa helped make the entire process really seamless and as comfortable as possible. I was afraid of the numbing injections, but Dr. Shawn was so gentle that the shots were practically painless. I was beyond surprised, because I've had really painful injections done at other offices in the past (I'm sure many of us have). We also discussed Invisalign treatment, and I was able to get Botox injected into the masseter muscle to help with teeth clenching. Everything was done right there at The Smile Spa! No need to hop around to different offices. I normally can barely drag myself into a dental office, let alone going to two additional places to get Invisalign and Botox. The Smile Spa makes it so easy to get everything done that you need done. If it's related to dental health, they do it all right there! I wouldn't go anywhere else, and I'm so thankful I found them. It's really a unique experience. I'm looking forward to coming back to get my Invisalign trays!” — Google review, Jul 2024
- 5 out of 5 stars. “I recently visited The Smile Spa in Agoura Hills, and I can't emphasize enough how exceptional my experience was. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was welcomed by the warm and friendly staff who made me feel right at home. The Dental Duo of Dr. Joelle Abed Elahad and Dr. Shawn Nguyen can take care of any need you might have when it comes to teeth. Them and the entire team displayed unparalleled professionalism, skill, and care throughout my appointments.Day one I had my wisdom teeth removed in what seemed like a flash. I was never swollen or even sore from the procedure. I was back to work the next day with no issues at all. Day two I had my front four teeth replaced with veneers. This has been something I’ve putoff for a while due to cost and fear of the procedure but The Smile Spa excelled in both cost and the explanation of the process. Ive never felt more at home in a dentists chair.The clinic is modern, spotless, and equipped with the latest technology, which only adds to the sense of trust and confidence you feel as a patient. The personalized treatment plan was tailored specifically to my needs, and the results have been nothing short of phenomenal. My smile has never looked better!I wholeheartedly give The Smile Spa an 11/10 rating for their outstanding service, expertise, and genuine care for their patients. If you're looking for the best dental experience in Agoura Hills, I highly recommend The Smile Spa – they truly redefine excellence in dental care!Thanks again, Mason” — Google review, May 2024
- 5 out of 5 stars. “This is truly a spa-like experience. From the minute I walked in, the staff was welcoming, nice and calm. They are wonderfully efficient. I felt very comfortable with the male dental assistant who helped fit me for a mouth guard; he explained every step and piece of equipment and checked in to see if I had any questions. As promised, my mouthguard was ready within 3-4 days. It even has my initials on it! Joelle, the dentist, made sure it was an accurate fit and told me to come by anytime to have it professionally cleaned for free. I am so happy with the service I received at The Smile Spa. In fact, I prefer to go there and pay out of pocket over my HMO dentist. The difference in professionalism and service is profound.” — Google review, Dec 2023
- 5 out of 5 stars. “Dr. Joelle & Dr. Shawn are the most professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, caring and well-rounded dentist I have ever met. They truly are specialists of their craft! I came in to get my wisdom teeth removed, an exam and cleaning. Dr. Joelle numbed me and it was painless. Dr. Shawn had my wisdom teeth out within two minutes or less. The Smile Spa delivers the most cutting edge dental technology and is so updated on modern dentistry. The office was clean, organized and the staff were extremely welcoming and comforting. I am really picky about my teeth and Dr. Joelle always seems to exceed on perfectionism. Nestor, their dental assistant, was very helpful in reducing my fear of getting my teeth removed. I would honestly recommend all my family and friends to come to The Smile Spa. I’ve been to many offices and I’m so happy and relieved I found them. Thank you Dr’s & Staff for such an amazing experience!!!! ❤️” — Google review, Nov 2023

Dr. Joelle feels like family to me, and my journey with her began in 2017! Time has flown by, marking the most delightful six years in my dental history. Haha! Dr. Joelle stands out as an exceptional dentist, renowned for her expertise and unmatched friendliness.Believe me, I'm not writing this to simply praise someone I know. In fact, I developed a genuine friendship with her, all thanks to my regular teeth cleanings. 😂 Lol!I wholeheartedly recommend this place to everyone! Their clinic is pristine and modern, conveniently located, and their staff couldn't be friendlier.Cheers! 🌟” — Google review, Oct 2023
- 5 out of 5 stars. “From the moment you set foot in The Smile Spa a sense of comfort greets you. The smiles from the reception desk set the pace. Then, as they expediently address your appointment needs, you are met by a wonderful Dentist. I went in for a root canal. The experience was painless! As the Novocaine wore off I was bracing for expected pain. IT NEVER CAME! I couldn’t believe it! All I can figure is that the dentist was so precise in his work that he didn’t disturb any surrounding nerves during the visit, which would have cause after pain. So wether your interest in seeing a dentist is for a root canal or any other dental issue, I strongly recommend The Smile Spa! You won’t regret it. Toby” — Google review, May 2023
