Dr Oates and the entire Hermosa Smiles team are The Best! My family and I have been coming here for over ten years and we highly recommend this doctor and his Hermosa Beach business.

I found Hermosa Smiles Dentistry looking for a new dentist online around the Summer of 2024. I used to go to the dentist twice a year my entire life, but stopped around lockdown due to my dentist no longer being a good fit for me. After years of no dental visits, I came upon Dr. Christopher Oates via online searches / reviews.
I have gone to Dr. Chris three (3) times now since just last year and what can I say, he’s fantastic. He’s communicative, gentle in his cleanings, and doesn’t over-sell products like my old dentist did.
I no longer live down the street from here, but still drive +1.5 hour for my appointments because Dr. Chris is that good - it’s tough to find a good dentist and gotta stick with it once ya find one.
The front desk is very knowledgeable and helpful regarding appointments / insurance questions.
One thing I love that they do is the way they setup their appointment reminder system. They use Smile Generation as their communication system and it reminds you via texts and emails to make sure you don’t forget about your appointments.
The dental hygentists I’ve had during my visits all have been great as well - quick x-rays, gentle cleaning, just overall efficient.
Parking is plentiful in the huge Hermosa pavilion center.
Appointments fill-up quickly, at least have been with Dr. Chris in my experience, so I recommend ya book a few months out if you decide to choose Hermosa Smiles Dentistry.
