Our comment from Best Dentists Club about DV Dentistry:
Family Dentistry with a Focus on Comfort and Trust
DV Dentistry, located in Costa Mesa, has established itself as a premier family dental practice by prioritizing long-term relationships and patient comfort. Dr. Eric Vanek leads a dedicated team that treats patients of all ages, from young children to seniors, ensuring that every visit feels less like a clinical procedure and more like a caring interaction. The office is frequently praised for its warm, welcoming atmosphere, where staff members take the time to get to know patients, helping to alleviate the anxiety that many individuals feel before dental visits.
Advanced Technology and Comprehensive Care
The clinic boasts state-of-the-art facilities, including an on-site dental laboratory and 3D imaging technology, which allows for precise diagnostics and efficient treatment planning. Patients appreciate the thoroughness of their examinations, which often include detailed digital imaging and visual assessments. The practice offers a wide range of services, including preventive care, restorative dentistry such as crowns and bridges, endodontic therapy (root canals), orthodontics including Invisalign, and cosmetic procedures like veneers and smile makeovers. The availability of same-day emergency appointments is also a significant advantage for patients experiencing sudden pain or dental trauma.
Transparent Communication and Gentle Handling
A recurring theme in patient reviews is Dr. Vanek’s exceptional ability to communicate clearly and honestly. Patients consistently mention that he explains every step of the procedure beforehand, setting realistic expectations and ensuring they understand their treatment options without feeling pressured into unnecessary work. This transparency extends to the billing process, where staff members like Claire provide helpful guidance on insurance coverage and financing options. The team is renowned for its gentle approach, particularly in administering anesthesia and performing procedures that are often perceived as intimidating, such as root canals and extractions, which many patients describe as virtually painless.
What Patients Value Most
- Expertise and Skill: Dr. Vanek is widely recognized for his precision and experience, with many patients noting that he successfully saved teeth that other practitioners deemed unsalvageable.
- Child-Friendly Environment: The staff is particularly adept at handling children and patients with special needs, turning potentially scary experiences into positive ones.
- Dedicated Support Staff: From the hygienists who perform thorough cleanings to the front desk team that manages schedules and insurance seamlessly, every member of the staff contributes to a smooth and pleasant experience.
- Accessibility: The practice’s willingness to accommodate urgent cases and its location in Costa Mesa make it a highly trusted resource for the local community.

Thank you Gary. Dr-V
Fantastic experience: Dr Vanek and his staff are incredible - he is a great communicator, his staff is friendly and their work is magnificent. I started with the hygienist to deep clean which was way overdue, she was amazing and helped me get my gums and mouth ready for the treatment - she is superb! Dr Vanek led me through the full “remodel” of my smile and performed the work expeditiously and I couldn’t be happier with the results - I can smile now with confidence - I highly recommend Dr Vanek and his staff, the care this group gives is simply the best!

Hi, Anthony. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
Fantastic experience: I avoided going to the dentist for years after a bad wisdom teeth experience, so I was really nervous coming in for my first appointment. Everyone in the office was so welcoming and made me feel comfortable right away. The dentist explained everything clearly and even kept the appointment light with some jokes, which really helped ease my nerves. If you’ve been putting off the dentist because you’re anxious or worried about being judged, this is a great place to go. They’ve completely changed the way I feel about dental visits, and I actually look forward to my regular cleanings now. I can’t recommend this office enough.
Hi, Kristen. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: As usual Dr Vanek’s staff was friendly, kind and knowledgable. Sandra’s skill at cleaning teeth is amazing. I have a bad neck and she always takes care of making sure I am not in pain and as comfortable as possible. Kudos to Dr Vanek for keeping his staff aware of patient care.

Fantastic experience: What a great experience. Dr.V is great at his job. I felt very well taken care of. He informed me about all the procedures he was doing, and it was a pleasant experience
Glad to hear it Brandon! Thank you, Dr-V
Fantastic experience: I went to DV dentist today for a second opinion. I had a bridge fall out and a broken tooth. It was an urgent situation. My dentist retired so I have been looking for a new dentist that I can trust. The staff today were kind, respectful and made me comfortable. Jenny took my X-rays and was very professional, personable and took her time to explain everything she did…thanks Jenny! The receptionist that went over the cost and made me an appointment on short notice was compassionate, and professional. The waiting area was very tastefully decorated and clean. The view from the dental chair(s) were amazing for a dentist office! Location, location, location! Tons of natural light! The dentist was gentle, proficient and seemed confident in his prognosis and care. He was normal and didn’t have a “god complex” thankfully. The last dentist I went to the day before was condescending, rude and told me I needed a procedure I didn’t even come to him for in the first place! The cost was reasonable and actually less than the previous dentist. I’m so grateful for a positive experience today. I typically have high anxiety at the dentist office, but not today. I have some more work to be done, but I’m confident in the team for the near future. Thanks for helping me out today, I appreciate it! Janis Morris
Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it! & I will be sure to highlight it to my staff that contrary to their opinion: I don't have a 'god complex' thankfully " Sincerely, Dr-V
Fantastic experience: Dr. Vanek and his staff are very professional and friendly. I have been seeking his care for years.

Svetlana..
Hi, Svetlana. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: Great dential office. I am so happy a coworker referred me to them years ago. The staff are so kind and caring to your needs.
Hi, Calista. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: My appointment w/Dr. Vanek was today. I was met by his dental assistant, Vivian. who was very welcoming. After I got settled she asked me several pertinent questions regarding my condition, writing down each answer. She even persuaded me into taking a couple of x-rays. I have "tori'" inside my mouth. I have a dislike of x-rays because of the discomfort. For the first time I felt no pain when the x-ray was taken. Yea, Vivian! Thanks so much. Dr. Vanek has been watching a loose tooth of mine for years. His recommendation was that I need the tooth removed & replaced w/a permanent bridge, which would only take about an hour or so. I agreed. It was a win-win situation. Thanks, Dr. Vanek!
Hi, Becky. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!

Thank you so much for acknowledging the team & glad we could help... what a stellar review! Thx Dr-V
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at this dental office. They were able to get us in the same day, which was such a relief, and quickly identified the issue we were dealing with. The entire staff was welcoming and professional, but I especially want to recognize Vivian — she was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. She made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. The doctor was also great - very thorough, professional, and made us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the visit. We truly appreciated the prompt care and attention to detail. Highly recommend this office if you’re looking for efficient, compassionate dental care.
Hi again Anastasia. Thank you for the review! I'm happy you had such a welcoming experience. Sincerely, Dr-V
Fantastic experience: Dr. Vanek is a miracle worker, took care of a much needed filling same-day. Really professional, but also personable environment. I'd recommend this place to anyone, even if you have to travel some! Really well done.
Hi, Andrew. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
Fantastic experience: Their services are excellent, won’t trust anyone else!
Thanks so much David.... we aim to please. Sincerely, Dr-V
Fantastic experience: After *many* years of not having insurance, I was finally able to begin visiting the dentist. I was terrified of being judged, of receiving bad news, etc. However, my experiences at Vanek Dentistry have been far from those initial fears... I am truly thankful to have been welcomed and taken care of by such an amazing team. First off, dental assistant, Vivian, was absolutely amazing!! She walked me through every step, was incredibly gentle, answered all of my questions without making me feel dumb, was extremely patient with me, and overall gave me a great experience at the dentist (which is something I never would have thought I'd ever say). She has made my cleanings and root canal go by extremely smoothly and has made me feel more confident about being consistent with my dental health. Dental hygienist, Sandra, is very helpful and knowledgeable. Her educational approach helped me learn how to do a better job at taking care of my teeth. Finally, Dr. Vanek has been extremely attentive to issues that I had and maybe will have in the future. It is evident that he is well educated and wants the best for his patients.
Grace, it was great seeing and taking care of you... Thank you for the review! Sincerely, Dr-V
Fantastic experience: Had the misfortune of having part of a molar break off last week and called Vanek Dentistry for help with the ‘repair’ (I was referred through a close friend). First off, the office is conveniently located in Costs Mesa and has ample parking (a good thing in crowded SoCal). Second, the procedure went as smoothly as one could expect. The staff (Claire with the appointment and Vivian assisting Dr. Vanek) helped make the experience very comfortable. Dr. Vanek explained the procedure in understandable terms and kept me informed of the progress so that I wasn’t left wondering ‘what’s he doing now’? I’m pleased with the results and would add that it was as good a visit as I could have wanted. I highly recommend this dentistry.
Glad we were able to fix you up Ken! Thx for the review, definitely helps us solve more dental emergencies .... Sincerely, Dr-V
Fantastic experience: Such a friendly and amazing dent
Thanks Mike!!! Dr-V
Fantastic experience: I have a huge fear of getting dental work done, needed a root canal and I was super anxious but the doctor's and staffs calm demeanor is what had me actually come back to get it done and im so glad I did. Scheduled for more work.
Thank you for the review! A root canal therapy isn't the best Christmas gift.... but glad it didn't hurt & you had a good experience with our team. Sincerely, Dr-V
Fantastic experience: Dentist Eric Vanek and his whole team are very friendly and professional. I’m very happy I found them!
Thank you so much for leaving such kind words.... especially acknowledging the entire team! Sincerely, Dr-V
Fantastic experience: The staff is amazing, the office is clean and Dr Vanek walks you through each procedure!
Hi, Victoria. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us! We love positive outcomes & positive people like you deserve them !! Looking forward to the next visit... Dr-V
Fantastic experience: I appreciate the prompt service. I showed up early for my appointment then they took me in before my schedule.
Hi, Richard. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!

Hi, Kathleen. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!

Hi, Stephen. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
Fantastic experience: All good and completely painless ! The best dentist office I've ever been to. It was simply a very good experience with the entire staff. A very state of the art facility.
Hi, Bijan. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely five stars. I was first impressed with the lovely Office, then with the ladies who greeted me and took me back to meet Dr. Vanic. Who impressed me even further. I am not easily impressed, but I must say my experience today in that Office was a definite 10. Definitely my new dental office of choice
I'm glad we were able to help you so much Catherine. It's clear out team is passionate & sincere. I'll look forward to your next vosit, I really appreciate such a great compliment coming from someone who has had a history of quality dental care. Thanks for the kind words, Dr-V

Hi, Daisy. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
Fantastic experience: Friendly and professional staff, with the most up to date technology, what’s not to like about this place. Would highly recommend!
Hi, J. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
Negative experience: The crown placed was too large and now after one day flossing several teeth is vey difficult or even impossible because of movement caused by the misfit crown. Employees are always polite and facility very clean albeit quite chilly.
If this is the case, just schedule an appointment so we can do a warranty repair appointment to rectify it. I always ask if it fits well before we cement tbe crown... once it's cemented you will have to go through the process to make a new one, so we make sure it's worth that much trouble. Sincerely, Dr V
Fantastic experience: My experience was great and completely seamless. The customer service was excellent from start to finish. Claire at the front desk communicated so well and followed up promptly. I was referred by a friend who has been seeing Dr. Vanek for years, and now I understand why. I had a tooth that needed immediate attention, and they scheduled me right away. Dr. Vanek was so personable, kind, and very knowledgeable. He walked me through every step of the process, made me feel at ease, and earned my trust. He was patient and did excellent work on my tooth. I’ll definitely be coming back to see him again.
Hi, Mari. Glad we lived up to the hype... Thank you for the review! Sincerely, Dr-V
Fantastic experience: Dr. Vanek is amazing. He is so caring, considerate and empathetic. He explains every step in a procedure and makes sure you’re as comfortable as possible along the way. I trust him implicitly with my dental care.
Thanks Robin! So great to reconnect after all these years.... welcome back home! Dr-V
Fantastic experience: My first visit with DV Dentistry. I loved how they treated me and how they explained things to me in detail.
Hi, Lucio. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!

Fantastic experience: My son, age 7, said he had a great experience with Dr. Vanek and his staff. He is going to encourage all of his buddies to come and see Dr. Vanek for all their dental needs.
Thanks as always Travis. Both the kids did great. It's really rewarding treating the young (age 3 and up) all the way to 113 ! No exaggeration! i did a root canal on a 104 year old patient last month! Sincerely thanks, Dr-V
Fantastic experience: My first time there. Everyone was nice! They did excellent job! ! Very pleased with all the stuff there and their excellent service!
Hi, Jesus. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!

Hi, Jesus. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: So happy I found DV Dentistry! I chipped my tooth and needed help ASAP. Claire was very helpful when I called and was able to schedule me in for the next day. The whole team is very kind and professional and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great dentist.
Hi, Newport-mesa. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
Negative experience: I believe Dr Vanek recommends unnecessary or very aggressive procedures. It would be worth your time to get a second opinion. I formed this opinion after receiving a 2nd, 3rd and 4th assessment from other dentists. My initial visit felt weird like I was being sold a timeshare so I got a 2nd opinion. Later I saw 2x other dentists for unrelated reasons and also asked their opinion. All 3x of the other dentists disagreed with Dr Vanek's very aggressive treatment plan and either recommended no filling or just a minor surface filling. Additionally they disagreed with many of the 'watch' items and 'future work' on his list. Best case read of this is Dr Vanek likes to treat aggressively. Worst case he is padding his wallet. Either way, I prefer a dentist who preserves teeth and treats conservatively so not for me.
Honestly, I would say the opposite is true. We have modern methods that allow us to detect and prevent disease early. I won't be surprised that eventually you will discover that we are giving you good advice the hard way. How can you fault a doctor for preventing rampant caries and giving advice to do so? This review obviously doesn't make sense. I hope you find someone you can trust that can provide conservative treatment
options witbout ignoring active caries. Sincerely Dr-V
Fantastic experience: Dr. Vanek and his staff are great! If you are looking for a dentist office, this is the one.
Thanks Jose! Our team works really hard to give everyone a great experience. SIncerely, Dr-V
Fantastic experience: Dr Vanek is meticulously with the treatment he gives his patients. He also Stands by his work.
Thanks Kathleen... i like to think we are the best of new school technology with old world integrity. I appreciate you making such a positive statement in your review. Thank you, Dr-V
Fantastic experience: Dr. Vanek is honestly the best! He’s super kind, explains everything clearly, and makes you feel completely comfortable the whole time. Vivian is amazing too, so friendly and gentle, and she really helps keep everything calm and easy. The office is clean, modern, and always on schedule. I actually don’t mind going to the dentist anymore thanks to them!
Thanks so much. It's not easy working with people and staying on schedule... there are so many variables. It's really the respect we have for our patients and their ability to help us stay on time that make our systems work well. I appreciate you giving a shout out to Vivi too! Sincerely, Dr-V
Fantastic experience: I love going to the dentist here, so much so that I drive an hour each way, because I truly believe they want the best for their patients, and that’s why I keep going back. I love the friendly staff; not only do they make you feel comfortable, but the dentists are so easy to talk to and their professionalism is unmatched. The receptionists are absolute sweethearts with the best sense of humor. It’s never a dull moment. Thank you for always making it such a wonderful experience for me and my husband.
What a compliment. Thanks Nancy... i didn't realize it was such a trip for you. I can only imagine how many offices you pass on the way. That truly means a lot to all of us. Thank you, Dr-V
Fantastic experience: I love this Dentist office. It is close to where I work. They are super friendly and take most insurances. What I like most is they will tell you what you need or what would benefit you. They don't try to upsell you on dental equipment that you probably will never use unlike some other places I have been. I like that and respect that.
Hi, Daniel. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!

Fantastic experience: Dr Vanek is the best dentist I have ever had. I moved to CA and needed a new dentist and I am so glad to be a patient of his. I needed work done on all corners of my mouth and after having everything done im feeling great and my mouth has never been better. Dr Vanek and his entire staff are so warm and funny and make the entire experience great. I am nervous and anxious when going to the dentist but not anymore now that I have Dr Vanek as my new dentist. When i go to the dentist I can now say I enjoy it and will be a patient of his as long as he's practicing.
Thank you Will. It can be very intimitating for new patients to unravel and tackle all the problems on the list. I'm so glad you got everything in good order & now you will see how truly easy it can be to maintain your health once you've gotten everything in tip top shape. Sincerely thanks for writing such a detailed review.... Dr-V
Fantastic experience: Superb! Very professional, considerate, friendly and caring. All ancillary staff are WONDERFUL!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
always great to see you Debbie.... I agree, our team is the best! sincerely Dr-V
Fantastic experience: I cannot thank Doc, Claire, Vivian and the entire support team enough for their professionalism and support. Claire has been especially helpful with her advice and help in navigating the insurance benefits. Thanks to her, a significant portion of the bill ended up being covered.
So happy to hear that Jon! .... not to mention the girls corrected that billing mistake on your ledger, so I'm happy all is quiet on the western front . Sincerely, Dr-V
Negative experience: Cancelled my wife’s appointment last minute. Not something that her job can just adjust to.
I apologize for trying to move her appt 48hrs in advance. I'm sure you can understand circumstances change sometimes...my daughter out of state had a crisis with her rental space and when the flood occurred she had to move & needs my help. Unfortunately I had to change my schedule for the week. I am happy to accommodate her earlier or later as needed to help. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Sincerely, Dr-V
Fantastic experience: Immaculately clean offices, super personable staff, great insights from hygienist and doctor, not overly pushy, state of the art tech
Thanks for the great compliments! Looking forward to taking care of your smile for many years to come Dr-V
Fantastic experience: I had a front tooth crown completely come off and called Dr. Vanek’s office in a panic. He was incredibly kind and accommodating, squeezing me in the same day to take care of it. He explained everything clearly, made me feel at ease, and had me in and out within the hour—with my front tooth crown securely back in place! Thanks to him, I was able to enjoy a family wedding that weekend without worrying about my smile. Great experience, great Dentist—highly recommend!
Enjoy your travels! So glad we could help out & thank you for sharing your story- a broken front tooth is the whole reason I got into this business because of my own bike crash.... Sincerely thanks, Dr-V
Fantastic experience: Finally found my forever Dentist! So appreciated the professionalism and genuine care for my wellbeing. An overall great experience. Thank you.
Thanks Kathy!! Sincerely, Dr-V
Fantastic experience: The best dentist I’ve ever been to. Dr Vanek and the whole staff were very kind, helpful and amicable. He made sure to explain everything and walk me through all the information and was very helpful and fast with the procedure. Definitely recommend!
Thanks so much Paula.... Kind words like this really help other patients with their treatment anxiety. We all appreciate the time to submit the review. Sincerely, Dr-V
Fantastic experience: Truly grateful to have found such an honest, thorough dentist and hygienist with Dr Vanek and hygienist Sandra, Modern Dentistry you can trust absolutely. They didn't try to sell me unnecessary procedures and that is exactly what I was looking for. I wound up here because I called one Dentistry and they didn't answer the next one I called was this one I believe I was led here. Thank you Dr Vanek!
It's a sign! We are happy to have you Dracula.... To finish the story my Dad's nickname at work was 'Vlad the Impaler' .... No joke! See you soon & thanks for the review! Sincerely, Dr-V
Fantastic experience: Dr Vanek is an awesome dentist. My 15 yr old twins have been seeing him since kindergarten. He did both of their braces and is a genius when it comes to straightening teeth. He is super kind and patient and takes time to explain everything in detail so you are comfortable. He is the BEST!!!
Thank you so much for posting this sweet review.... Not many offices are as experienced with orthodontics they way we are & I really appreciate you sharing your story. Sincerely, Dr-V
Fantastic experience: Dr Vanek and his team are incredible. I broke a bridge and was very self conscious about seeing anyone. They made me comfortable and fit me in immediately. Dr vanek’s attention to detail is unmatched and I am so happy I found him. Thank you for coming up with and executing a great plan for me. You have a life long client here and will be recommending him to all my friends and family.
Thank you so much for these kind words Jenny- it's a challenge to get things to perfection and it takes a lot of time, personelle, patience and communication. You have been very patient & I am thrilled we could deliver a result beyond my our original expectations.... Sincerely, Dr-V
Fantastic experience: Excellent staff, Dr. Vanek is experienced, knowledgable, and has a great personality. He has advanced equipment and has stayed on the cutting edge of dentistry technology.
