My extended family have been going to Dr Cadena for years (including my niece and nephew, my cousin, my younger brother and I) and I can guarantee that we have had the best experience ever. Dr Cadena and his staff are always so friendly and welcoming whenever we visit them, and most importantly they've been very patient through out my treatment plan, which was extended from 30 weeks to over 38 weeks. I thoroughly enjoyed their service (they always provide you with snacks, coffee, water, they also have kids friendly/ dress-up themes), their treatment and overall how Dr really cares about his patients. I'm so so happy with my new teeth and highly highly recommend Dr Cadena to anyone that needs braces! More...

I had such crazzzzzyy teeth! I had teeth that wouldn't come up from my gums, i had teeth that refused to move and i definitely broke a bracket or two. I had braces for around four years i think, but it was DEFINITELY worth it. Every problem my teeth gave them they never took the easy way out. Even when i left the state to go to college i didn't even want to find another orthodontist, i literally just flew back a few times to see them now i can't stop smiling :) More...

Dr. Cadena and staff run a very clean, professional office suitable for both children and adults. The decor is modern with extreme sports and active lifestyle touches like surfboards and rock-climbing motifs on the walls. Parents will feel comfortable either waiting out in the spacious lobby area with coffee, chilled water bottles and light snacks, big screen TV, etc. or in smaller comfortable seating near the patients.Adult customers and patients will appreciate flexible office hours, iPad access for any children waiting, and polite staff with high language and communication skills. This office immediately impressed you with the idea that you are getting your money's worth.Additionally, patients are encouraged to complete assigned tasks such as wearing rubber bands, flossing, etc. through a fun and sometimes profitable rewards system. My daughter is hooked! More...

I have been coming to Dr JC for 8 years (two kids total). The doctor and his staff have always been exceptional. They anticipate our needs and are extremely knowledgeable. My favorite part is that they gave my youngest son tough love when reminding him to wear his rubber bands. That is exactly what he needs since my 14 year old thinks that he knows everything. The office is modern and clean and they always have coffee, snacks and water for us that are always on the run. Dr JC and his staff keep the patients motivated with JC bucks (for prizes) and always have contests. Office hours are limited but I appreciate early morning appointments to avoid missing school/work as much as possible. Thank you Dr JC and staff for a wonderful 8 years but I'm relieved that the braves are coming off today. More...

Dr. JC Cadena and his staff were always friendly, appointments on time, and always helpful. I had braces previously as a teenager, but lost a retainer and never replaced it. Oops. Now as an adult my teeth had moved. My bite misaligned and I was experiencing pain where my teeth hit improperly. When I went in for consultation I was told 12-18 months of treatment if I followed all instructions. Today, 15 months exactly, I got them off! At my appointments I would come in with questions ranging from pain from my rubber bands, or could I reduced time wearing  the bands. They were always willing to work with me and come up with some options that were maybe a bit outside the box. In the end I am very happy with my treatment, customer service, and quality of care. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for any orthodontic needs. Thank you for all your help and my new beautiful smile! More...

We have twins, so we knew when it came time for orthodontia that it would be a big undertaking. We interviewed 3 different orthodontists who all had great reviews and were excited to find Dr. Cadena proposed a great treatment plan, incentives for the kids to take care of their hardware and follow the instructions given, and he was a provider for our HMO dental plan, which saved us thousands of dollars! The office staff has been helpful and kind, Sandra at the front desk is always friendly and easy to work with and the rest of the team get us in and out of appointments on time. Dr. JC is happy and the kids enjoy talking to him. The twins are now free of braces and wearing retainers at night with great looking straight teeth! More...

He's the best orthodontist and the team is amazing.Due to job relocation and gaps between treatments, I ended up seeing a total of three orthodontists in a span of 4. 5 years.  So I can actually compare different doctors and practices.I'm so happy I found Dr JC as he is the best one I worked with. He got the job done.  As an adult patient and a transferee, I presented to him a particularly challenging case but he took me in, worked on my existing braces, and with his methodical and meticulous care, he made sure I was happy with the results.  The staff, oh boy, they keep it real and tell you how it is... I love it! Keeps me in check about wearing my bands, cleaning, etc. You know they actually care about their patients.  The office space is warm and welcoming to everyone that you almost forget you're there to get braces work. Yet unlike other offices where I feel like I'm in a Best Buy showroom, Dr JC's office is so patient-centered that every time I go, I know I am in good hands.I just got my braces removed about an hour ago (and yes, I'm feeling the euphoria) and walked out of that office with a brand new smile knowing nobody else could have done any better than Dr JC.

I had consultations with 3 other orthodontists before choosing Dr. Cadena. As someone who has severe anxiety about doctors and dentists, I have to say that this is the only place that I felt completely comfortable in and 100% trusted. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with friendly faces. The waiting room is very comfortable and I have never had to wait a long time to be attended. There is a television and computers as well as a snack counter in the waiting room. That, along side with the televisions on the ceilings (which patients can watch while being attended to) give the entire office a modern feel.The staff is great, they always ask how you're doing and make small talk. Dr. Cadena is amazing. From the very beginning, he explained the entire process of having braces, he made expectations clear and answered any questions. He offered alternatives to having some permanent teeth removed and then reviewed my treatment plan again. He stresses the importance of the patient doing their part regarding the treatment (i.e. wearing rubber bands and retainers) and how it affects the results. Even now, after having my braces off for a full year, I feel welcomed and extremely happy with the end results. Highly recommend to anyone looking for not only great results but a welcoming environment and amazing staff. More...

We are almost into our 2nd year and my son's teeth are looking great.  I have liked how, no matter how busy they get, they will try to squeeze you in especially when something breaks.  We have only ran into problems with Friday's being closed since that's the day when our schedules are free in the afternoons, but that has not stopped us.  They constantly hear from us to change appointments and they are so patient and helpful.  My son's treatment is not being rushed and he loves this office.  We started our younger daughter (8 years at the time) for treatment in September.  She had to start early due to over crowding and really crooked teeth.  All of her 4 front teeth are looking very nice and there is so much difference from when she first got them on.  Her braces were all over the place and looked funny at the beginning because of where her teeth were; that is not the case anymore.  Overall, we have been happy with Dr. Cadena and his staff and we make sure to wear the shirts and check in on Facebook to get the word out.

I had lost my retainers from my previous orthodontist, so my dentist made me some new ones. Stupidly, I hadn't worn those consistently enough and felt that my teeth were getting crooked again. I stopped seeing that dentist, and I needed some new retainers. I came in for a free consultation with Dr. Cadena and told him that I wanted new retainers since my teeth had moved again, I thought. He checked out my teeth and told me that my current retainers were actually doing the job well and that I did not need new retainers.  They snapped into place, which was a sign that they were sufficient so no new retainers were needed.I was impressed because he could have easily conned me, as I was already expecting to pay up for new retainers. Instead, I left after that consultation and paid nothing. A good, honest orthodontist. His office was immaculately clean and was super easy to bus to from downtown SJ. I recommend! More...

There are so many great things about Dr. JC and his staff! I went to him between 6th grad up until early freshmen year of high school! My teeth were straight before braces, yet I had canine teeth that need to be removed! In order to keep my straight teeth, I had to get braces to make sure the new teeth would grow perfectly! I loved going to my Orthodonist appointments! The atmosphere was great and I felt very welcomed! I loved my Orthodonist more than my Dentist! If I had any issues with my brackets, wires... etc they were always willing to help! From the beginning stages upon getting braces, everyone loved to help! I love the system they had! Upon arrival you would sign in on the computer, they you would grab your folder, check the chart schedule for the chair you would be sitting in and just wait to see the Doctor! I loved the fact that there was always something going on in the office! There were always parties hosted by the team at local bay area places that were suitable for all ages! There were always a lot of contests as well, which were always fun! I went all of my years to Dr. Cadena's old location near the Regional Medical Center of San Jose! The location wasn't the best and parking wasn't great, however inside it was awesome! There was a really cool fish tank that was fun for the kids to watch and the office was always decorated for different holidays! They had such a great structure and organizational routine! I haven't been back since I took off my braces and got my retainers, so I have not been to the new location! I hope to go back soon and pay a visit! I would love to see the new location! They were always sweet to me, in fact, they let me keep my braces! More...

Dr. Cadena was recommended to me by friends whose 18 year old is almost finished with his braces.  I was immediately impressed with Dr. Cadena's office: the professionalism, friendliness and competence of the front office staff as well as the openness and beauty of the facility itself.  It was easy to get an appointment, and processing my son for braces was quick and easy.  Office Manager Rosie was competent, patient and kind with both me and my son. I'm extremely impressed with Dr. Cadena himself who is obviously devoted to his profession, there daily at 7:00 am and works long hours.  You can get an appointment all the way until 6:00 pm. This is especially helpful to me to get early morning and late afternoon appointments, something I've not been as successful with my older son's orthodontist.  I also love the organization of the office and positive reinforcement for youth to continue good habits by accruing points and receiving positive feedback.  After the last 3 years with a less-than-stellar experience at my older son's orthodontist in Willow Glen, whom I've only only met once during processing 3 years ago, whose office is beautiful but feels like a "mill" and I feel managed by receptionists, Dr. Cadena's office and staff are a breath of fresh air.  The feel there is friendly, transparent, and very personal, yet professional.  It's a wonderful switch and I'm so thrilled that I found Smile Works.  I'd give it a "10" if I could!

Loven the doc and SaraNow... the good news is, my braces from like 15 years ago, really did the trick.  The bad news is that the retainer that my old ortho provided me with, actually created a small gap between my otherwise "perfect" teeth. I came into the office today, to realign my retainer, which is quite frankly a straightforward and financially reasonable task.  In doing so, the Doc. pointed out some "opportunities" for change (the small space, etc)... and I'm strongly considering correcting them.  In-fact part of the reason, I'm considering the work so much, as opposed to a simple realignment of my retainer, is because I kinda-sort-a fell in love with the staff.  I have found myself thinking; "well if I just get a retainer, then I don't get to see these people any longer... but if I get my gap closed... I get to see them for a few more months!"  Now, I must say i was a little standoffish at first when I first met Sara, but drooped my guard immediately.  It is so rare when individuals in position to provide you with a service, sale it to you in an ethical, and non demeaning way, especially when aesthetics are concerned.  I didn't feel self conscious when in the office at all! Not even, when the doctor was discussing options about my small gap!  I mean what better way to sale beauty than, to make people feel bad about their appearance?!  Well... that may be so... but that certainly isn't how this office does business! That being said... I'm not afraid to add; Dr. Cadena is pretty hot, for someone who could quite possibly be my pop's age!  Yeah... the pic of the staff, here on Yelp... does them absolutely no justice.  Sara (directly behind the doc) is also beautiful, fellas!  Um.... why is this important, you ask?  Because who really wants an unattractive dentist with a bad set of teeth working in their mouth?  Yeah... I'll let you think about that..... More...

Not sure where to start.  I normally don't write reviews but I felt it necessary to let everyone know how awesome Dr JC AND his entire staff are!  I first took my son last year just to get a 2nd professional opinion.  His dentist thought he should get braces ASAP but he was only 7 at the time.  Skeptical, I wanted to be sure so I brought him to Dr JC.  His staff was very welcoming and informative from the get-go and the service only got better.  Dr JC was very thorough during the consultation and my son was at ease the entire visit.  Dr advised it was too early to determine the need for braces and wanted to monitor my son for the next year or two.  He assured me that we'd be in contact and he definitely kept his word.  We received reminders and a courtesy call almost a year to date from our first visit.  His staff is seriously on point.The second visit was just as exceptional as the first, if not better.  They had moved to the Alameda St location and the layout of the new office very much matched the vibe of the team. . open, modern, welcoming, and professional.  I also appreciate their respect for time.  Your appt time IS your appt time!  They take you earlier if time permits, but NEVER is it delayed.  Very important for those on a time constraint.Although my son may not need braces for a while, I love that Dr JC is keeping an eye on his progress.  I know what to look out for and expect so when the time comes, there are no surprises.  My son looks forward to his visits here :)I absolutely recommend Dr JC to anyone shopping around for an experienced, super kid-friendly, honest orthodontist!  Dr JC and his team are passionate about their service and enjoy making their clients happy.  The new place is great, but I really do feel that it's not the place, but the people who make the experience so thank you to Dr JC and the team!
