Your Dental Office in Irvine, CA
KIND SMILES is a dental office in Irvine, CA where families get specialist orthodontic care and pediatric dentistry in one welcoming place, so kids, teens and adults can all be seen by a team that already knows them. Patients join us from across Orange County, including Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, Laguna Beach and Newport Beach, because they want expert treatment delivered in a calm, family-friendly setting.
Our practice is led by Dr. Gary Liu, a board-certified pediatric dentist, and Dr. Junyi Xie, a board-certified orthodontist, who work alongside pediatric dentist Dr. Jessica Ho. Together they cover everything from a baby’s first dental visit to braces and Invisalign® for teens and adults.
Come Visit Us
Visiting Our Irvine Dental Office
Our office is at 114 Pacifica, Suite 350A, in Irvine, with easy parking and a layout that makes room for strollers and siblings who come along for the visit. We’re open Monday and Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Wednesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and one Saturday a month by appointment, and you can call or text (949) 561-1088 to book, reschedule or ask a question.
Pediatric Dentistry for Infants Through Teens
Dr. Gary and Dr. Jessica care for children from infancy through age 18, starting with gentle exams and cleanings that keep small problems from becoming big ones. When a child needs more, our pediatric team provides kid-friendly fillings and crowns, sedation options for anxious children or longer procedures, and compassionate care for children with special needs or sensory sensitivities. Our Solea dental laser allows many treatments to be done with less discomfort and faster healing, and Dr. Gary also evaluates tongue and lip ties and performs a gentle laser release when one is needed. You can learn more on our page for a pediatric dentist in Irvine, CA.
Orthodontics for Children, Teens and Adults
Dr. Junyi begins every orthodontic relationship with a free consultation, so you can understand your options before you commit to anything. She recommends a first orthodontic check around age 7, when she can spot bite and spacing problems early and decide whether treatment now or simple monitoring makes more sense. Teens and adults can choose from metal braces, clear ceramic braces and Invisalign® clear aligners, and Dr. Junyi explains how each option fits your bite, your schedule and your goals.

One Team for Checkups and Orthodontic Care
Because our pediatric dentists and orthodontist share the same office, your child’s checkups, cleanings and orthodontic visits are coordinated by doctors who talk to each other whenever a dental issue affects treatment. That means fewer trips across town, simpler scheduling for busy parents and a single record of your child’s dental history from their first tooth to their final retainer check.
A Calm, Kind Visit From the First Phone Call
We designed our office to feel welcoming from the moment you walk in, with child-themed treatment rooms, TVs above the chairs and a prize wall for brave visitors. Digital X-rays use less radiation than film, and digital scans replace messy impression molds for orthodontic records. Mochi, our hypoallergenic therapy dog and official anti-anxiety officer, is happy to keep nervous patients company, so just let us know when you book if you’d like him to join your visit.
Insurance, Payment Plans and Languages
We accept PPO and most major insurance plans, and orthodontic patients can spread treatment costs over 0% interest payment plans of up to 36 months. Our multilingual team helps families feel at home whatever language they speak, and we offer free orthodontic consultations in Mandarin as well as virtual consultations for families who want to talk through options before visiting in person.
