Dr. Shawn and the entire team at Camarillo Smile Spa are absolutely amazing! From the moment you walk in, you're treated with kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. Dr. Shawn takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, making sure you feel comfortable and confident throughout your treatment.The office is beautiful, clean, and welcoming, and the staff goes above and beyond to make every visit a positive experience.

Five stars all the way!
My time at Smile Spa was truly such a smooth and kind experience. The staff was all incredibly polite and respectful. Dr. Shawn explained information to me that other dentists had never communicated before. I was given options for my treatment and educated on each route.I've never had such a lovely experience at the dentist before! Immediately, you can tell patient well-being and comfort are top priorities for this office.
Having to lose a tooth is never a fun day but it is a comfort knowing that I was in good hands! Literally! Lol but seriously Dr. Shawn's experience made me feel safe and knowing I was with the right Doctor for the help I needed.
I don’t normally write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience with this office. I had a canine tooth root canal fall out in the middle of the night. I called them and they were able to get me in the very next morning.The front desk team, Christina and Kristine, were both incredibly nice and easy to work with. The office itself is beautiful and feels like a high-end, professional establishment. The treatment rooms face the Camarillo airport, offering great views of planes taking off and landing.Nestor and Luz in the back kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. Dr. Shawn is one of the best dentists I’ve ever worked with — you can clearly tell how passionate he is about his work, and it shows in the results.I received a bone graft and had a broken wisdom tooth extracted. I was out of there in just 45 minutes with no pain, my prescriptions already waiting at the pharmacy, and a clear treatment plan moving forward.I highly recommend this office to anyone!
Dr. Shawn is fantastic. He is caring and exceptionally skilled in his field. I felt comfortable and safe with all of my dental work procedures. Highly recommend!
Excellent dental care. No pain. Caring professional team. Recommend!
Dr. Shawn and Dr. Joelle are so kind and welcoming, and genuinely two of the most down to earth and knowledgeable dentists I have ever met! They made sure all of my questions were answered but that I also understood everything about my procedure and felt super secure in my decision. Additionally, Itana and Christina are SO beyond nice and communicative! I am super thankful for everybody at Smile Spa making me feel so welcome and taken care of!
Dr Shawn is genuinely one of the best doctors ive had. He did a great job with my wisdom teeth removal and the healing is going well. I was extremely anxious/in a panic but he was able to ease my nerves and it overall went very well. Cannot speak highly enough of him! (Even while i was in the waiting room another patient was telling me how wonderful he is and that im in great hands) 10/10 recommend!
Very helpful and knowledgeable people, very friendly and Professional
Smile Spa Camarillo is a beautiful, modern office with a welcoming and calming atmosphere. Dr. Joelle and Dr. Shawn and their team are highly trained, professional, and efficient, and they truly go above and beyond to make patients feel comfortable and cared for. Everything is well organized, and the attention to detail really shows. They are intentional in everything they do and use state-of-the-art technology along with their ever-growing knowledge to provide the best care possible. The entire staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. I highly recommend Smile Spa Camarillo to anyone looking for excellent dental care.
I recently saw Dr. Shawn at the Smile Spa Camarillo and cannot recommend them enough. Dr. Shawn and the whole staff was attentive, knowledgable, detailed, and claiming throughout the whole process. I was referred to them by a mutual friend after not being satisfy with my current dentist, where I spent a lot of money and hassle with getting a crown just to need the tooth extracted after 9 months because of a missed fracture. I reached out to Smile Spa and Dr. Shawn was able to see me within a day. During my visit, they performed multiple test and with advanced technology (including a CT scan of my teeth) was able to identify the problem and throughly explained the treatment plan. The tooth was extracted the same day. It was as smooth and painless a dental procedure can be. Dr. Shawn and the team even followed up through text the next day to see how I was doing. Thank you Dr. Shawn and the Smile Spa team!
Dr Nguyen extracted a tooth for me and will be performing a bone graft and then Implant. The extraction went very well with minimal pain and swelling. Dr Nguyen even called me a couple days later to see how I was feeling and to call him at any hour with any concerns! I look forward to completing the implant!
Clean, modern, and relaxing. The team made me feel at ease the whole time. Great experience!
Dr. Joelle, Dr. Shawn and the entire team are exceptional. They combine advanced technology with genuine care and attention to detail. From the first consultation to the breakdown of my treatment plan and then follow-up care as well. Just impressive, with regular check-ins and a commitment to my long-term dental health.If you’re looking for a place that blends luxury, professionalism, and cutting-edge dentistry, Smile spa Camarillo is second to none. This is the kind of experience that makes you actually look forward to your dental visits!
Great experience with something that isn’t usually pleasant! Dr Shawn & his assistant are wonderful!
Dr. Nguyen and his team are top notch! They will sit down and listen to your concerns and help you make the best decision for your health.
Had the opportunity to be a patient at the office for a consultation. The moment I walked through the door the front staff was extremely welcoming. X-rays were taken by the assistant who were extremely positive and conversational. Both Dr. Joelle and Dr. Shawn came in and did the consultation with me. They explained some of my options on my concerns while giving me more insight on what the procedure entailed. It was such an amazing experience. I’m glad to have found a new dental home. Already looking forward to coming back for the treatments they recommended
Great people, they are amazing! Love the decor! Very relaxing place to be.
Dr. Joelle and Dr. Shawn took care of my family member in need of immediate treatment. They are caring and attentive to detail. They explained the process thoroughly and everything went so smoothly. The office is beautiful and clean. I highly recommend them!

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Exams & X-Rays
How often should I get dental exams in Camarillo, CA?
Most adults should have dental exams and professional cleanings every six months to maintain oral health and catch any issues early. If you have specific conditions like gum disease or diabetes, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits—typically every three to four months.
Does insurance cover dental exams in Camarillo, CA?
Most dental insurance plans cover routine exams and X-rays at 80–100% as part of preventive care, usually once or twice a year. Our team is happy to verify your benefits and help maximize your coverage before your appointment.
How much do dental exams and X-rays cost?
Dental exam and X-ray costs vary widely depending on your location, the specific practice, and your insurance coverage. Without insurance, a routine exam and basic X-rays typically range from budget-friendly to moderate pricing, but many dental offices offer payment plans or discounts for uninsured patients.
How Do Dental Exams Detect Problems Early?
One of the greatest advantages of routine exams is their ability to catch issues long before you'd notice them yourself. During your visit, our dentist combines a careful visual inspection with advanced imaging to spot the earliest signs of cavities, gum disease, infections, and even oral cancer. Many of these conditions develop silently, without pain or visible symptoms, until they've progressed. By identifying them early at Smile Spa Camarillo Dentistry, we can treat small problems before they turn into costly, complicated procedures.
What Happens If You Skip Your Dental Exams in Camarillo, CA?
Putting off routine exams might seem harmless, but the consequences tend to add up quietly over time. Without regular checkups, small cavities can grow, early gum disease can advance, and serious conditions like oral cancer may go undetected until they're harder to treat. What could have been a simple fix often turns into a more involved, expensive procedure. Staying consistent with your visits to Smile Spa Camarillo Dentistry helps you avoid these surprises and keeps your smile healthy for the long run.
What's the Difference Between an Exam and a Cleaning?
Patients often assume a dental exam and a cleaning are the same thing, but they serve distinct purposes. An exam is the diagnostic part of your visit, where the dentist evaluates your teeth, gums, bite, and oral tissues and reviews any X-rays. A cleaning, performed by a hygienist, focuses on removing plaque and tartar buildup and polishing your teeth. Together, they form a complete preventive visit—the exam identifies concerns while the cleaning keeps your mouth healthy between appointments at Smile Spa Camarillo Dentistry.
