About Irvine Smile Design

Same-day scheduling and a conservative approach from Dr. Sam Mogari stand alongside recurring complaints about upselling and surprise charges.

Irvine Smile Design is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, traditional braces, clear aligners, and clear braces. Reviews frequently note little to no wait time, on-time appointments, and same-day availability for emergencies, along with a front desk that recognizes patients by name. Dr. Sam Mogari and other dentists here are described as explaining treatment options and pros and cons before starting work, and taking a conservative approach that avoids unnecessary procedures. A recurring group of reviews, however, describes upselling during visits and billing surprises that don't match earlier explanations.

Orthodontic care in reviews

A handful of reviews mention Invisalign used to address crowded teeth with retainers recommended afterward to maintain results, and one review describes a corrected bite that resolved a lip-biting habit. One reviewer, however, said a promised partial insurance discount for Invisalign retainers fell through after treatment.

We got started right at the appointment time. Van did a perfect job cleaning my teeth, as always. She is thorough, but there is no irritation. Dr. Shaw was pleasant and gave me a detailed checkup.

Best dentist I have ever experienced!! Dr. Sam Mogari is gentle and thorough. He always explains what needs to be done and welcomes my input. We discuss long term plans such as replacing my old crowns over time only if necessary and so it is affordable. He trains his staff well and everyone seems so happy to work at Irvine Smile Design. Dr. Soleimani corrected my crowded teeth with Invisalign years ago and they still look great (with the help of my retainers). I love all of the hygienists too! I’ve been a patient at Irvine Smile Design for about ten years and I am grateful for this.
