Saddleback Dentistry offers comprehensive dental services for patients of all ages, including routine checkups, restorative procedures, and cosmetic treatments. 
Teeth whitening offers a way to enhance the natural appearance of your teeth, but not everyone is a candidate for this procedure. It is important to speak with your dentist to ensure it's a viable solution for your unique dental needs. The treatment is most effective for yellow teeth, but less so for brown or gray stains. Professional consultation ensures the best approach for your smile.
A root canal is performed when the pulp inside a tooth becomes diseased, often due to a deep cavity or injury. Our team removes the infected pulp, cleans the canals, and seals the tooth to prevent future problems. By preserving the tooth, we aim to avoid extraction while ensuring the tooth functions properly for years to come.

I had an amazing experience at Saddleback Dental Associates! From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming, making me feel completely at ease. The dentist was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything in detail, ensuring I understood my treatment options. The office is modern and equipped with state-of-the-art technology, which made my procedure quick and comfortable. I also appreciated their flexible scheduling and attention to patient care. If youre looking for a professional, friendly, and skilled dental team in Mission Viejo, I highly recommend Saddleback Dental Associates!

Very CLEAN and professional establishment, the technology to see the status of your teeth is informative. The amazing, personable team really takes care of you, and Gina, with the help of Tyler, at the front desk is truly the cohesion for it all coming together, with explanations galore and making your visit very smooth, no matter how long the time of your appointment. The kind Dr Juste (pronounced You Stay) is extremely considerate and attentive. Johnnie loves the job, the detailed deep cleaning talent along with an unmatched cheerful attitude is refreshing and will brighten your day. They'll even provide you with a blanket if it's too chilly during your appointment! They are all thorough and answer all your questions and I don't even bother with insurance, definitely my favorite dentist visits if all time. I actually travel over thirty five miles to come here :) Too notch care all around!

All the staff here is beyond friendly, I came here after shopping around for the perfect dentist. Needed a crown on my front tooth and had the privilege of having Dr. Juste work on me. She is the most patient and considerate dentist I've ever met, worked magic and now I'm much more confident with my smile due to her work. She truly makes you feel like family and is willing to answer any questions(I had a lot) without making you feel rushed or as if she doesn't care. 10/10 experience, will forever come here

My wife and I both had dental work done by both dentists. They are both very good and thorough dentists. The support staff is excellent as well. Both Tyler and the other lady who work up front are the best. Also if you're former military, two Marines work here that I know of, Tyler and Johnny the hygienist. My wife loved Johnny. Made her day. Thanks

Great office and friendly staff. I've been in for two cleanings, cavity filling and now an in office teeth whitening. Tyler and Gina are always the friendly faces that greet you when you come in. Kate and Nadia have done a great job with cleanings and Dr Juste is amazing. I hate dentists and doctors and all the noise and anxiety that comes with it but I've felt comfortable every time I've come here. Super easy to book an appointment and always get taken back within minutes of arrival.

Dr. Marose is absolutely amazing! By far 5 star review. I had the worst tooth ache and Dr.Marose was able to squeeze me in day of! He made my pain go away and referred me to the best dental surgeon to take out my wisdom teeth. I will definitely be back to take care of other dental problems I have. I am super self conscious of my teeth and he makes me feel comfortable.

I highly recommend Dr. Marose and his staff.
I am TERRIFIED of the dentist....Working with Dr. Marose and his team has made this fear minimal.
From the moment I walked in I felt so welcome. The staff greeted me with their warm and friendly smiles. After filling out paperwork, I didn't have to wait hardly at all. They took me to the dentist chair where everything was clean and brand new. The dentist greeted me right away, and like I said I am TERRIFIED of the dentist !! He was so patient with me and gentle with everything he did, from the teeth cleaning to fitting me for a crown I need. Fast forward 2 weeks... he placed my crown, it fits perfectly, looks beautiful, I can eat normally with no hot or cold sensitivities. I am extremely grateful I have found Dr. Marose!! Next visit will be getting fitted for my Invisalign and I cannot wait!!!!

In June 2014, I had MAJOR emergency work to be done, and I was a way high anxiety patient! The expert dental work by Dr. Terry Abbuzalan and Saddleback Center's entire TEAM was so excellent, that I wasn't afraid to return for second followup visit to finish the 2 crowns, including 1 root canal. That came out great! Now. I recently completed full exam, and will receive comprehensive treatment plan and cost estimate for more extensive work.
It will still be expensive for me, but I appreciate Saddleback Center's reduced pricing for excellent work (compared to most dentists in San Diego county! ) The hygenist (Natalie?) was gentle, thorough, skilled at communicating. She was able to teach old people (like me) new tricks to take better care of our overall dental hygiene habits, and perform better self care. IF ONLY I had found Saddleback Dental Center so many years earlier! Best Ever! Thanks to all. p- escondido
