Research indicates that dental implants yield better long-term results for tooth replacement. Properly integrated implants do not slip or make embarrassing noises and are more difficult to distinguish from your natural teeth. Because they mirror tooth and root structure, implants provide stimulation for the jawbone, preventing bone loss, while their titanium composition makes them resistant to decay. These factors contribute to the long-term success of dental implants and subsequent overall oral health.
The majority of adults will lose their teeth to decay or periodontal disease and will need to find a suitable method of tooth restoration. Your doctor offers single dental implants, partial dentures, and dental bridges for the replacement of single or multiple missing teeth. Replacing a single missing tooth can be most authentically accomplished with a single dental implant.
Regular dentures rest on top of your gums, causing bone deterioration and leaving space that can cause complications such as loose fit, slipping, or clicking sounds. Implant supported dentures are anchored in the mouth through attachment to dental implants. This type of dentures is most often used in the lower jaw where removable dentures are less stable, but can also be used in the upper jaw also.
The more teeth that need replaced, the more expensive the dental implant cost will be. The more missing teeth you have, the more materials are used. This means extended time that the doctor is spending working on your mouth, as well as evaluating bone density and ensuring the implants are placed in the most effective areas to optimize success.

He is a great dentist and he actually cares. I feel very bad for him and his staff. He bought this business and inherited a big hornets nest of problems. The last dentist left a lot of us in the middle of procedures. I was in the middle of getting implants and now Dr. Nichols is left with the problems. I'm glad we have him as our dentist now.
He explains everything. Unfortunately a lot of us were very angry, me included, but it's NOT Dr. Nichols fault. We were told stuff by the last dentist that wasn't true and they kept really bad records. This is stuff Dr. Nichols and his staff have to deal with daily and it sucks. That being said if you want a REALLY GOOD dentist make an appointment with Dr. Nichols.
He reminds me a lot of one of my other dentist, Dr. Levin. You will be in good hands and you won't be treated like cattle like the last corporate place I went. God bless Dr. Nichols and his staff

I can't recommend Dr. Nichols, Daria, and their team highly enough. Dr. Nichols is an excellent cosmetic dentist, he is also very kind, gentle, really goes out of his way to make the experience as painless and easy as possible. I am not exaggerating, I have moved about 500 miles away from Huntington Beach, and I make special visits back here just so I can have Dr. Nichols work on my teeth. Daria is beyond awesome too! They really care about their patients, and you can see and feel the difference.

I have had dental issues my entire life and a list of poor dentists to go with it. Dr. Brent Nicholas is an incredible dentist. He is professional and highly skilled and has given me the confidence I needed in a dentist. I highly recommend him and am so happy that now most of my family, including my grandkids, are now under his care as well. When my son visits from France he makes sure he schedules his dental appointments with Dr. Nichols while he is here. That's how good Dr. Nichols is. His staff is just as wonderful. THANK YOU DOC!

I recently went to Dr. Nichols and had my teeth deep cleaned. They charge me over $700 for the top teeth only. It would've been 1400 for top and bottom. The dental assistant spent maybe 10 minutes cleaning them - No scraping just a water pit. I can't remember a time I have felt more taken advantage of. I went in for a cleaning and they scared me into getting a deep clean saying I might lose a tooth and then charged me $700 for 10 minutes. I had a OK experience prior visits but this time it just seemed also wrong.

I would just like to chime in an rave about Brent Nichols. I've taken my wife there in the past to fix a bridge another dentist put on crooked and butchered. He was so great I vowed never to go to another dentist. Today, I went to see him to get a teeth cleaning for me and my wife and to take my one year old daughter for her first dentist visit. I was kindly greeted by the receptionist. Brent Nichols cleaned our teeth himself, doing a thorough job. Also, he explained how to start caring for our one year old daughters first teeth. Great Dentist!

Doctor Nichols have been the dentist at first for me and then about a year later for both my wife and my son for eight years. He and his staff especially Daria had provided us with the best dental services that we could ever find. I typically don't write reviews about my current doctors but after eight years with Doctor Nichols, I owed it to his excellent services to put out this review. Doctor Nichols is the most caring, knowledgeable, and throughout dentist that we have ever known and we are thankful to have him as the dentist for our family.

Broke a molar at the airport on the way here for vacation with my son. I called them at 8:30, asked me to come in at 9. I left at 9:40 all fixed up with a temp crown feeling great. Everyone was so helpful and nice. Dr. Nichols was amazing and actually made the short visit fun. Day one of my vacation and I'm good as new! Could not recommend them enough! Seriously, thank you guys so much.

The office of Dr. Brent Nichols and his staff are horrible. I went in for an exam, then made a follow up appointment for work. I left work early to meet the appointment time, when I showed up to the office, the office was closed. I called the next day and was told, we are sorry let's get you rescheduled. They rescheduled for today. I showed up on time for my appointment, I V was directed to sit in 1 of 3 chairs the office has and the Dr. would be right in. 45 minutes later, I was still sitting in the chair while the Dr, was seeing other patients. I got up and left. They over schedule and make you wait, no respect for your time. I'm out.

I have been to many dentists all over the world and must be honest, Dr. Brent Nichols is simply the best - period! An easy going relaxed experience is always guaranteed. This morning I had a filing and a repair - completely painless, I was back at work an hour later and everything is great. Currently having an implant and some caps done and you can't beat his prices and payment options. Stop looking around and just go there!

THIS DENTIST OFFICE IS AMAZING! I recently moved to Huntington Beach seven months ago. The thought of finding a good dentist in this area was very important to me. I did some research and found Dr. Nichols of Yelp. My whole life the thought of going to the dentist made me sick to my stomach. Not anymore, Dr. Nichols and his whole staff are fantastic.
I felt so at ease. I would give this office a TEN STAR if I could. Dr. Nichols is so knowledgeable and extremely attentive. The dental hygienist Katie is SPECTACULAR. Hands down the best Hygienist I have ever gone to. She did an amazing job. My teeth have never looked better. I'm going to bring my whole family here now. Thanks Dr. Nichols and staff for making this experience so wonderful. Now I can say, I don't mind going to the dentist anymore. This Dental office is awesome!

Hands down the best dentist I have ever gone to and that says a lot! I am from Beverly Hills and have always had the best dentist until I met Dr. Nichols. A friend of mine referred him to me, and I almost cancelled the initial appointment several times because of his location. Thank God I didn't cancel, and met him! He had solutions to my problems that the last 3 dentists did not.
I will continue to drive to the OC just for him! I have had so many experiences with dentist's and I am continuously blown away by Dr. Nichols precise work and care. Undoubtedly, Dr. Nichols is the best dentist in the state!

Super friendly and knowledgeable. I went to 3 other dentist that told me to get rid of all my teeth and get dentures due to the severity of my periodontal disease. Dr. Nichols is the breath of fresh air I was looking for. He is willing to fight with me to save my teeth. I can't wait to start my long journey with him.

Dr. Nichols and his staff are very pleasant to work with. I am very picky when it comes to mine and my kids dentist, and I have been a patient here for over 5 years. It's located right across the beach so it's always a nice drive. Parking might be a little hard however. They always work with my insurance company and are very reasonable.

Dr Nichols and his staff are the best! I had never been there before, called on a holiday and they stayed and treated me. Dr. Nichols is thorough and doesn't tell you that you need work that isn't necessary. I've been delaying my implant because it's too expensive and painful. Also, they all send you to a specialist for part of the work and you are running back and forth and paying two dentist. Dr Nichols does it all at the best price I could find. My friend kept recommending him and I'm thrilled to have found him.

Brent and his Office Staff are great. I have been coming here for 3 Years now and like his dedication to helping people. its not about the money or doing things that are not needed. There have been multiple times when he has squeezed me in last minute to stop the pain. The girl that did my cleaning was so gentle.

Hands down, the best care and service I've ever experienced in any business, let alone from a dental office. Dr. Nichols and his staff are bar none the most caring and accommodating group of professionals in their field. Enough great things can't be said about the level of service this team provides.

I've neglected my teeth for a while now because I was traumatized from past experiences and did not have it financially to see a good dentist. After experiencing a lot of pain, I decided it was time to look around. After consulting with a couple dentists, third time was definitely a charm. So incredibly grateful for Dr. Nichols. He made me feel comfortable and assured me it was nothing to be scared of.
He has a great sense of humor and I really vibed with him. I then made an appointment and I have to admit going into that appointment to get the work done I was super nervous. His assistant was so sweet. She made me feel so calm and I just knew I was in good hands. After it was over, I could of cried because I was so happy and thankful. The whole experience (including the work) was PAINLESS. I have found my forever dentist and they deserve way more than 5 stars!

Finding Dr. Nichols was such a blessing. I struggled for years to find a dentist/ dental office where I felt that my health was the priority over my wallet. Dr. Nichols has a small office where they know my name when I walk in the door and Dr. Nichols sees me personally every time. He has done several crowns, an implant, and some bone grafting for me, all with no pain and obvious skill. I am a patient for life. Highly recommend!

A good friend of mine highly recommended Dr. Nichols. It was literally the best advice I've ever gotten. Dr. Nichols is fantastic! His fees are reasonable and his dental skills are top notch. I saw Dr. Nichols initially because I had one broken and one cracked tooth. Personally I didn't think either tooth could be saved. After some x-rays and a consultation with Dr. Nichols, he got down to work and thankfully he was able to save both teeth.
I could not possibly be any happier with his work! More recently, I talked to Dr. Nichols about doing some cosmetic work on my lower front teeth, which were quite frankly a misaligned mess. Wow. once again Dr. Nichols greatly exceeded my expectations. He built me a custom bridge that looks amazing! If you are looking for a new dentist, you simply can't go wrong with Dr. Nichols! I highly recommend him.
