Review: I’m very pleased with my experience here! The staff is welcoming. I feel their rooted want to help their clients in every way possible. Some examples I’ve experienced were: during my cleaning, being able to communicate when I needed a break to sit up or just take a moment for myself & financially, having a system built into their practice that allows for clients to explore payment plans. I’ve also seen how this group also keeps with them humility & open mindedness to truly hear their clients needs. Thank you for all that you are doing!

Review: I went to see Dr. Nguyen because of a tooth sensitivity (hot/cold). When I flossed, it felt almost like touching a raw nerve between 2 molars. On my first visit, they did a 3D CT Scan. Then, Dr. Gina came in and examined me. She said 3 things: my airway was too narrow (causing me to grind my teeth at night and not sleep well); 2- small infection at the root of my last molar (crown) where 30 yrs ago I had a root canal done; and 3- a "barely noticeable" cavity between 2 of the molars in question.To finish the visit, they gave me a sleep test kit, a silicone nozzle for tongue exercises to open the airways and scheduled me to come back the week after for visit #2. I decided to get the cleaning and fill the cavity BUT skip removing the crown. Total $2,154. You pay in advance.On the 2nd visit, I turned-in the sleep test kit, and they worked on the cavity. Dr. Gina did not like how it turned out, so she removed the filling again and re-did it. As the anesthesia wore off, my teeth became more sensitive. I wrote to Dr. Gina and she said that maybe the nerve was a little irritated and to give it a couple of weeks to calm down and she would take a look the next day, as I was coming in for the teeth cleaning anyway. The cleaning was messy, wet, loong and I loved it!!! Truly the most comprehensive and complete cleaning EVER!!3 weeks later, pain and sensitivity were worse than before. Dr. Gina said to come back and she would remove the filling, place a temporary one for a few weeks and then replace that one with a permanent one. I decided to see another dentist. Within the first 10 min of inspection, she said the problem was an old filling that was very deteriorated. It needed to be replaced, which she did. 2 hours after the anesthesia wore off... pain free!! I found the cause of my pain/sensitivity!! Total was 20% of the original cost..I gave it 3 stars: 2 for the teeth cleaning which truly was amazing! And 1 star for silicone nozzle, which has helped with my sleep/teeth grinding.. It's been 3 months since I turned in the sleep test. They said they would give me the results in my next visit.. I really wanted to love this place, but will not be going back.

Review: It's a beautiful place with kind and caring people working there. I broke my front tooth and worried that it could get worse. Even though Dr. Blackwell was very busy, she was able to see me right away, and after evaluating my situation found a time to get me in for a treatment ,pretty quickly. She was able to fix my front tooth and to save my other tooth that was falling apart. Dr. Blackwell took her time to make sure that everything looked perfect. Unfortunately, we didn't take before and after pictures of my teeth. I make one on my cell phone ( pictures are attached). It was nice to be in a company of like minded people, wholisticly oriented. Dr. Blackwell also using ozone in her treatments, which is a big plus in my opinion.
