About Coastline Smiles

A newly relocated, high-tech office draws families who followed Dr. Daniel Nguyen there, some driving nearly an hour for his care.

Coastline Smiles moved into a new office that reviews repeatedly call spotless and high-tech, and several families say they followed Dr. Daniel Nguyen there or drive long distances to keep seeing him. Reviews describe him as patient through complicated cases, including finding alternatives to extraction and adjusting timelines when adult teeth erupted slowly. Comfort measures like ceiling screens for kids and gentle handling during braces removal come up often, alongside praise for results ranging from corrected crossbites to adult smiles achieved in braces later in life.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I 10000% would. 🏅 TL;DR: I sincerely cannot recommend Coastline Smiles and Dr. Daniel enough. If you're looking for a 5 ⭐️ orthodontist who is skilled, honest, patient, and genuinely invested in giving your child the best possible outcome, Dr. Daniel is your guy. Thank you, Dr. Daniel, and thank you to your entire staff for making these past 3.5 years such a wonderful experience. We are truly grateful to all of you. Story time: My daughter has been a patient here for the past 3.5 years, and I can honestly say we've had nothing but an amazing experience with Dr. Daniel and everyone at Coastline Smiles. Our original treatment plan was expected to take about two years with both Phase 1 and Phase 2 but because my daughter's adult teeth came in slower than expected, treatment ended up lasting over three years instead. Throughout the whole time, Dr. Daniel was super patient and understanding. He never tried to rush the treatment just to stick to the original timeline. Instead, he always focused on what was best for my daughter. As her anticipated braces removal date approached, she became antsy to get them off, as most kids are. But there were still a few adjustments that needed to be made. Dr. Daniel always kept the end goal in mind and recommended we wait a little longer to ensure her teeth and bite were in the absolute best position possible rather than removing the braces too soon. Of course, we trusted his recommendation, and I am so glad we did. The final results are absolutely beautiful, and we couldn't be happier, especially my daughter. What truly sets this office apart isn't just the incredible orthodontic work Dr. Daniel does; it's the people he employs. Dr. Daniel is super kind, very patient, and extremely knowledgeable in what he does. You can genuinely tell how much he cares about every one of his patients. That same level of kindness can be felt by his staff during the visits as well. During each visit, we were greeted in a friendly and welcoming manner by his staff, and they always made us feel comfortable. Now that the initial treatment plan is done, we are still very excited to continue coming back for retainer checks over the next several months. We even joked that maybe we should just keep my daughter in treatment a little longer so we'd have an excuse to keep seeing everyone. When those retainer visits eventually come to an end, I know we'll genuinely miss seeing Dr. Daniel and his amazing team each month. It's funny because I never thought I'd feel sad about finishing orthodontic treatment, but here we are. At the same time, it makes me happy knowing they'll continue helping so many others achieve the same beautiful results and receive the level of care, if not better, positive experience that we had. Thank you again, Dr. Daniel and everyone at Coastline Smiles. You gave my daughter an incredibly beautiful and transformative smile, but most importantly, you made this entire journey comfortable and enjoyable from beginning to end.

I recently completed my braces treatment with Dr. Daniel Nguyen at Coastline Smiles, and I couldn't be happier with the results! As someone in my 40s, I was a little hesitant about getting braces, but it ended up being one of the best decisions I've made. My teeth turned out amazing, and I absolutely love my new smile. Dr. Nguyen was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about achieving the best possible results. Throughout the entire process, he took the time to explain everything, answer my questions, and make sure I felt comfortable and confident in my treatment. The staff at Coastline Smiles was equally wonderful—friendly, welcoming, and professional at every visit. They made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. If you're considering braces as an adult, I highly recommend Dr. Daniel Nguyen and the team at Coastline Smiles. I'm so grateful for the care I received and thrilled with my results!

We have been going here for sister’s braces. Dr. Daniel and the front desk staff are always so amazing and helpful. The initial exam for my sister’s braces — Dr. Daniel made sure to walk us through what changes we will see and if there were any adjustments we wanted on our end. The process was super helpful and informative for us, putting us at ease the entire way. For appointments, the front desk staff always made sure to stay on top with the next checkup or any information needed. Love this place and highly recommend people to look into this office for all of your dental/braces needs!

First time here today. We live nearby, so figured we would try it. Right out of my 6 yr old's mouth- "mom, that was fun! When can we come back?" Also, my 13 year old even said "yeah, that was good" (in chill teenager voice). Licette was great with the kids, walking them through the X-ray process and cleaning their teeth. And Dr. Suzanne was kind and helpful and patient with the kids. I'm beyond glad that we just gave the neighborhood dentist a try!

IF YOU NEED AN ORTHODONTIST, GO HERE! I had an amazing experience here at Coastline Smiles. My teeth were a mess when I first came in. I had a crossbite, an overbite, and they were pretty crooked. I went to another orthodontist before this and they told me the only way to fix everything was to pull one or two teeth, which I really didn’t want to do. I decided to get a second opinion at Coastline Smiles, and when I told Dr. Daniel Nguyen that I didn’t want any teeth removed, he actually listened. He said he could make it work, and he did. I used an expander for about six months and then had braces for a year and a half. In the end my teeth came out straight, healthy, and way better than I expected. Plus I didn’t have to remove anything. I had monthly checkups and Dr. Daniel was always there. He made every appointment feel quick and easy. He’s really easy to talk to and always cracking dad jokes. All the dental assistants were super nice and friendly too. I also asked if there was any chance I could get my braces off before my senior picture, and he made it happen. When they finally came off, he even gave me a gift box filled with all the snacks I wasn't allowed to eat during treatment... which, to be honest, I still ate anyway. Overall, Coastline Smiles took great care of me and I’m genuinely so happy with how my teeth turned out. Thank you to Dr. Daniel and to all the people who helped me during my time here.
