Why Anaheim Families Choose
Andrew Yap, DDS, MAGD

Several distinct factors: Dr. Andrew Yap's MAGD credential (held by fewer than 2% of U.S. dentists), an on-site CBCT 3D scanner for diagnostic precision most general dentists don't have, 20+ years of continuous patient relationships in Anaheim, fully private treatment rooms with ceiling TVs at every chair, a long-tenured team that knows your family by name, and the ability to treat the whole family — infants through seniors — under one roof without specialist referrals for most procedures.

No — never. At Yap Family Dental, we use digital intraoral scanning technology that completely replaces traditional impression material. A small, comfortable wand maps your teeth in precise 3D in about two minutes. No trays, no gooey material, no gagYes. Yap Family Dental welcomes new patients of all ages. Call (714) 828-6684 or book online to schedule your first appointment. Same-day appointments are available for dental emergencies. New patients are accepted at any point, and there's no required wait to establish care.ging. The digital file goes directly to the Invisalign lab to produce your custom aligners.

Yap Family Dental offers a comprehensive range including dental cleanings and exams, CBCT 3D imaging, root canals, dental crowns, porcelain veneers, Invisalign, Philips Zoom! teeth whitening, dental implants, mini dental implants, dental bridges, pediatric dentistry, cosmetic bonding, smile makeovers, emergency dentistry, and more. Most care is delivered in-house without the need for specialist referrals.

Yes — and this is one of the defining strengths of the practice. Yap Family Dental treats patients from their first tooth through adulthood. Parents and children can be seen on the same day at the same location. Dr. Yap has treated multiple generations of the same Anaheim families — in some cases, patients who were children when they first came in are now bringing their own children.

Yap Family Dental uses an on-site CBCT (Cone Beam CT) 3D scanner for comprehensive three-dimensional diagnosis before root canals, crowns, implants, and complex procedures. A digital intraoral scanner replaces traditional messy impression trays for crowns and Invisalign. Low-dose digital X-rays are used throughout. Every treatment room has a ceiling-mounted TV and is fully private.

Yes — and this is something the practice is particularly known for. Ceiling-mounted TVs in every private room give patients a focus point and reduce perceived appointment time significantly. The tell-show-do approach means nothing happens without explanation and patient consent. Dr. Yap and the team have 20+ years of experience helping anxious patients get the care they've been putting off. Many of the practice's most loyal long-term patients initially came in describing themselves as terrified of the dentist.

Yes. Same-day emergency appointments are available for severe tooth pain, broken teeth, dental abscesses, and other urgent concerns. Call (714) 828-6684 as early as possible and the team will work to get you seen the same day. The on-site CBCT 3D scanner means emergencies can be fully diagnosed and treated in a single appointment in most cases.

Yes. Most major dental insurance plans are accepted, and the team verifies your benefits before treatment begins so you understand your coverage and out-of-pocket costs before any decision is made. Flexible payment options are available for uninsured patients or those with coverage gaps. Call (714) 828-6684 to confirm your specific insurance is accepted.

MAGD stands for Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry — one of the most demanding post-graduate credentials available to a general dentist. It requires completing over 1,100 hours of continuing education across multiple dental disciplines and passing a comprehensive examination. Fewer than 2% of U.S. dentists hold this credential. It represents a depth of clinical training and ongoing commitment to learning that goes well beyond state licensing requirements — and that directly benefits the quality and breadth of care patients receive.

Dr. Andrew Yap has been serving Anaheim and Orange County patients for over 20 years. In that time, the practice has built deep, multi-generational relationships with Anaheim families. Many patients have been coming to Yap Family Dental for 7, 10, or 15+ years — and are now bringing their own children for their first dental visits. That continuity is one of the things patients consistently describe as the defining difference between this practice and others they've tried.
