I have been going to Dr. Guthire for 13 years now and will stick with him for as long as I can! He has done my braces, cleanings, filled cavities, taken my wisdom teeth out, etc! His is a very honest and respectable business owner and truly cares about your dental needs rather than convincing you that you need a bunch of unnecessary work done and sticking you with a giant bill.
His office is beautiful and very modern with TVs in the rooms for kiddos! His team does a great job with making you feel comfortable (sometimes going to the dentist is scary) and getting the job done as quickly and efficiently as they can. They are very accommodating and are always willing to work with my tight schedule. I would recommend Dr. Guthrie and his team to anyone and everyone!

I was referred to Dr Guthrie's practice by a friend years ago and I can't say enough great things about it. To begin with, the facility is beautiful, very modern, and complies with high standards of IC. The hygienists are very kind, patient, and definitely through. Dr Guthrie as well as the hygienists take their time to explain your needs and options as well as financial estimates.
Unlike most practices around, you never feel like you're seen in hurry. I work in health care and I can definitely say that this is a patient centered practice. Highly recommend to everyone.

I've been a patient of Dr. Gutherie going on 20 years! Recently I needed emergency dental surgery during the Coronavirus outbreak and I met him and his assistant at the dental office. If was a difficult extraction but Dr. Gutherie and his assistant did a fantastic job! I highly recommend this dental practice!

Love this office. Honest and very good at what they do! I strayed to another practice closer to work and they tried to tell me I had onset periodontal and I needed a deep cleaning. Glad I went back to Dr Guthrie for a second, trustworthy opinion! I just needed the normal cleaning and I was fine! I will never stray again. Thank you!

10+ years! I started driving from LA to Dr. Guthrie about 10 years ago. I couldn't be happier! They're extremely kind, courteous, and very gentle in every approach. Our family feels safe and confident knowing that we're in good hands each visit. We make the drive from LA without hesitation. I cannot express enough how happy we are. Thank you for providing such exceptional service, consistently!

I have had chronic problems with my teeth for many years and had always been told I needed a lot of expensive restorative work to address them. Much such work was done, at great expense, before I decided to get a second opinion on my oral health from Dr Guthrie. Not only did he advise me that this work was not necessary but he determined that I had serious periodontal problems and a chronic dental abscess that were not even being addressed. Alarmingly, another dentist then advised me that this problem was best addressed by removing all of my top teeth and replacing them with a dental appliance.
But Dr Guthrie was committed to a course of treatment designed to protect what nature gave me and address the problems I was having without that drastic approach. After a series of procedures and strict adherence to dental hygiene at home I am really thrilled to say my oral health is very solid now. Dr Guthrie had it all right: his professional skills are extremely diverse, he addresses problems in the least intrusive manner possible, his manner is extremely confidence inspiring and I am thrilled with the results of his prescribed treatment.
If you are looking for the highest level of dental competence or just want a second opinion, you will find highly skilled, honest and reasonable care from Dr. Guthrie and his professional staff.

I have been living in San Diego for the last 3 years, and have been having a lot of trouble finding an honest dental office since I arrived. It's been very frustrating. Everyone I tried wanted to tell me I needed expensive services and treatments that I KNEW I didn't need. I was referred by a friend to Dr. Guthrie, and even though it's over an hour drive each way for me (when there's not traffic), I won't be going anywhere else now that I know this standard of excellent care and skill!
His treatment approach is very conservative -- he doesn't recommend treatments I don't truly need. I appreciate that he can do the things other dentists have sent me to specialists for, like root canals. (But he will do all he can to save a tooth before going the root canal route, I promise!) Just today he did work on a tooth that was the same work I had done on another tooth previously, only Dr. Guthrie's work was FAR superior.
He also had to fix work done elsewhere that didn't hold up! He is honest, competent, caring, and friendly, and his support staff is the same. I trusted Dr. Guthrie immediately, and that's saying a lot coming from someone who is not only skeptical of dentists but has trust issues to begin with, haha!;) I am relieved to have found Dr. Guthrie, and that my search for a TRULY honest and highly skilled dentist is OVER, YAY! Finally. :)

My family and I have been coming to Dr. Guthrie for 15 years and would never go anywhere else. What we love most is that he is conservative and only recommends what is necessary for your oral health. He's not pushy like a lot of those large clinics that end up overcharging you for things you don't even need. It is so easy to set up an appointment, and his helpful staff even verifies your insurance prior to your appointment so there are no surprises. The new office in Ladera Ranch is beautiful! You will not be disappointed. No need to look any further for a dentist in Orange County.

My family and I have been receiving dental care from Dr. Guthrie for 18 years. Each time my dental experience has been enjoyable and comfortable. Dr. Guthrie is very gentle and has a great bedside manner. Dr. Guthrie is an honest dentist and never recommends treatment that is unnecessary. He is also great with children and those with special needs!
Not to mention, he covers a wide variety of dental care including wisdom teeth extractions, implants and orthodontics to name a few. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a new dentist!

I was referred to Dr. Guthrie about 10 years ago by a relative who goes there. I made the drive out to his office all the way from Los Angeles just to be seen by him. From my first visit, to every visit after I kindly was greeted by his receptionist who made me feel very comfortable and welcomed. The hygienist was an educated young lady, who I could tell was gentle by nature.
That put my mind at ease being that she was going to be poking around in my mouth. As for Dr. Guthrie, I couldn't be more happy with him. He thoroughly explained everything that was going on inside my mouth. My previous dentist was very rough when dealing with my bleeding gums, and made me fearful of even going to the dentist. When Guthrie saw me he didn't keep causing me more pain by intentionally poking harder to try to try and find out how bad things were.
He was gentle with his approach and got my mouth back in good order, and also has me looking forward to my next appointment. I have recommended him to many friends who have also enjoyed their experience with him and his staff. I will continue to make the 60 min drive to be seen by him because it is more than worth it! His new office is remarkably beautiful as well!

Most relaxing and open dentist I've ever been to. I don't even live in CA anymore but when I plan visits back home I always have a visit here planned ahead of time because I refuse to go anywhere else. Dr. Guthrie makes you feel relaxed and welcome and his office is kept in excellent and clean condition. He is always willing to work with patients based on their needs to make them as comfortable as possible.
