Excellent service. Thank you guys for your help with cementing the bridge. I appreciate your help and very satisfied with your job. Excellent customer service! read more

Perfectionist. That is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Dr. Chen. I'm extremely careful when choosing a dentist. I was a TV News Reporter in the largest markets in the nation as well as on CNN. Fifteen years were spent in front of a camera showing the world my teeth. I rarely write reviews, but Dr. Chen and his staff certainly deserve a great one. The office staff go above and beyond to make sure your insurance company pays for everything possible. The hygienists don't waste your time, yet give you a deeper clean than you will receive anywhere else. Dr. Chen describes everything in laymen's terms (using technical language if preferred). He shows you detailed pictures of your teeth, x-rays included, before, during, and after every procedure. He makes sure you are always comfortable. Blankets are in every room. They put sunglasses on your face. Meditative music is always playing. A "pillow" gets inserted inside your mouth so it stays open without the patient even trying. Numbing agents are provided before you need to ask. If you wince, Dr. Chen explains what you're feeling and immediately stops to numb the area even more. The receptionist is second-to-none and sincerely cares about your treatment. All of the staff, in fact, are people you'd happily invite over for Thanksgiving dinner. Note: Dawn is pretty nutty. You never know what she'll say next! I highly suggest everyone check this place out. You won't receive better treatment anywhere else. read more

I saw Dr. Chen for a crown placement and fillings, and was astounded by the service that he and his staff provided. They really make you feel at home, and are extremely detail-oriented and caring. Dr. Chen himself is charming and skilled, and really goes the extra mile to make sure his patients are comfortable; my procedures went flawlessly, and he even rush-ordered my crown in a week(!) when I was on a tight schedule when every other place refused to do it in less than two. He even took the time to personally call me after my appointment to address some of my other dental concerns. If you can't tell already, I highly recommend Dr. Chen for any dental needs. read more

Love this Doc. He's the only one that as not made me jump out of the chair and hit the ceiling. He's gentle when numbing and shows concern when treating a tooth. I recommend him to anyone that is looking for a dentist. read more

Dr. Chen and his staff are the absolute BEST! They handle difficult insurance situations, and are so friendly and gentle. Dr. Chen replaced a filling for me today and I am a big baby with sensitive teeth. They gave me headphones and sunglasses and plenty of numbing and reassurance and i didnt feel a thing! I can't say enough about how much I love them! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Chen for over two years. Dr. Chen and the hygienists are friendly and professional. They take the time to address my concerns and answer my questions thoughtfully. They always explain the process and what they are doing. Dr. Chen himself is very patient and conveys a sense that he genuinely cares about the well-being of his clients. The front desk staff is consistently friendly and courteous. Unlike some offices, they never act annoyed when I call to reschedule or have questions. They always address my questions with a smile and upbeat demeanor. The waiting time is very short and my appointments start on time. Aesthetically, the environment is clean and soothing, with free parking. I was so pleased with the service that I had my husband switch to them too. If you are seeking a friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient office, I highly recommend you see Dr. Chen. read more

Best dentist I have ever been to. Staff is super nice. The Doctor and Hygienist are knowledgeable and very thorough. Can't say enough about this place. Really look no further...I mean yelp other dentists in Irvine...the stars and number of reviews don't come close to this place. My wife was just as satisfied after her cleaning as well. read more

I have been seen by Dr Chen for laser treatment for my recurrent canker sores. This treatment is indeed very effective for those who have been suffereing from Recurrent Apthous Ulcer. I underwent my first treatment with Dr Chen last year and I have experienced less flare ups. Dr Chen and staff are very caring and professional. He took his time to care for his patients and ensure that the patients receive optimal outcomes. Even though my dental insurance does not cover for the laser treatment, the charge of Dr Chen office was very affordable and reasonable. I specially thank you Dr Chen and Ms Hoffman for a wonderful care and amiable service. I definitely will refer my family members and friends to come and experience the best dental care in town. Thank you again, Lanh read more

I had my teeth cleaned at Canyon Dentistry yesterday (6-15-2017). Gloria was my dental hygienist and I was extremely happy with her work. She was thorough and gentle and kept me informed of what she was about to do before she did it ("Now we're going to scale (?de-scale) the bottom left; now we're going to polish the upper right, etc.) She took x-rays and did a really good job of positioning the film inserts (I've got a small jaw and sometimes those x-ray films really dig into me when I bite down to hold them in position) but not with Gloria! After the cleaning, Dr. Chen came in. As always, he had a very warm, friendly manner. He looked at the x-rays, had a good look around in my mouth, and discovered that I have an old filling with a big crack running through the middle of it. He could actually put his pick in there and gently move it back and forth. So I know I need to have this repaired! But I'm not dreading the procedure because in the past I have found Dr. Chen's work to be flawless. I recommend him and Gloria without hesitation read more

I recently had a implant crown put in and I had a great experience. Dr Chen really explained to me what was going on and what was going to happen during the process. It made me feel so much better about having it done and now it's finished and the result it is great. The staff there is also so nice and they all will answer questions if I have any. It's a great place to get dental work done, I highly recommend it. read more

I was having so much worries and fear about my wisdom tooth extraction, since many dentists I've seen didn't give me any comfort or confidence about how this could be done. Through a recommendation, I went to Dr. Chen's office to get a second opinion. The office staff and nurse were very nice and professional, the office was clean and neat, I was especially impressed by the soothing music and the calming atmosphere. Dr. Chen, gave me a thorough evaluation and gave me detail explanation about how to remove my partially covered and tilted wisdom tooth. I was really relieved and pleased that the procedure went smoothly and successfully, much better than I expected. Good dentists are not easy to come by, and Dr. Chen is definitely one of the better ones! read more

I love Dr. Chen!!! My family and I have been going with him for more than 15 years. He knows exactly what he's doing. You can count on him and his staff to be precise, friendly and more than anything professional. I love this location too, by the way. Thank you Dr. Chen!! read more

My experience with Dr. Chen and his staff are truly a pleasant one. I am very pleased with my dental implant. The procedure went very well. I am really impressed. I feel so comfortable with my teeth. Dr. Chen always pays great attention to detail. He also takes time to explain about my treatment. He is very professional and calm when he explains to me about my procedure and treatment. I never like to see a dentist but he makes me feel relaxed and comfortable. Dr. Chen's staff are amazing as well. I was well taken care every time I was there. Dr. Chen is simply the best. He truly cares about his patients. I highly recommend. read more

Canyon Dentistry is the best of the dental experience I have had in my life. I have visited numerous dental office in the past years and found Dr. Chen's office have present all the quality that you want to see and have from a patient's view point. I am a Register Nurse and I can tell you that I have seen Dr. Chen is well experienced/has profound knowledge, highly skilled, proficient communication with patient, and his gentle caring characters and well bedside manner are all the quality that a patient could ever ask for. Dr. Chen's profound knowledge and skills have successfully place a steel support to my difficult crooked tooth. His proficient communication with patient decreased the anxiety level to the very minimum. His gentle bedside manner provide me the sense of security and comfort. I also want to mention that his office staff are top notch! Tracy and Megan are at the front desk, they are not only friendly, down to earth, easy to talk to but always go for extra mile to assist you from making appointment to insurance questions and communicate with you the safety of health measure at the office during pandemic. Linda the hygienist is the best I ever had. She takes the pride of her work, and is diligent and thorough. Dr. Chen's medical assistant also are friendly, they always make you feel like home. Dr. Chen's office is clean, quiet and soothing and give patient a sense of peace and comfort. If I can give Canyon Dentistry a 10 star rating, I would. I can't say enough on how much I appreciate that I have the whole team to care for my dental health and I am sure that you as well will enjoy coming to this office. read more

I am very grateful for Dr. Chen. Along with the usual dental procedures, I have had several implants, my first with someone else. My experience has been so different between the two professionals. Dr. Chen always makes sure I understand the procedures. While performing the planned treatment he is always very sure, but very gentle at the same time. In my experience I have always been given all of my treatment options without being pressed toward the most expensive choice -- he gives me the ability to chose the best option for me. He and his staff are very professional, but also empathetic. I very much recommend Dr. Chen, and do so to all my friends who ask me for a good dentist. read more

I have been going to Dr. Chen for a few years now. I needed to get a dental implant and found him by googling various dentists when I wasn't too happy with my former dentist. I would highly recommend Dr. Chen. He is helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. His staff is very friendly also. I was not looking forward to getting two implants but the experience was way more pleasant than I could have imagined. I'm very happy with both implants that I had done a few years ago. He's a very nice guy and makes you feel comfortable. Peggy at the front desk is also very friendly. read more

Friendly staff that is so friendly and makes you feel comfortable whenever you are there. Dr. Chen filled in my cavity today and I didn't feel a thing! During the whole procedure, he kept me up to date on exactly what he was doing while even taking pictures of my cavity before and after so that I could see the work he had done.I can't even tell there is a filling in there! He is wonderful! Thanks Dr. Chen and staff! read more

I recently became a patient of Dr. Chen and am very pleased with my progress to date. Out of exteme fear I avoided the dentist for years. Dr. Chen and his staff took the time to explain the process and treatments that I would need. Dr. Chen is gentle and a very caring individual. The sedation dentistry is definately effective for individulas that are fearful of dental treatments. I would recommend him to patients who are in need of extreme dental work and are fearful or have anxiety. I have no doubt that when my treatments are complete that I will look great and feel better than ever. read more

I was refered to Dr. Chen by friends. I decided to give it a try and we've been with Dr. Chen for almost 7 years. Dr. Chen is perfectionist. He takes time to show you what happen to your teeth, what are the solutions. He has the most high tech tools I've ever seen. He shows me the before, during, and after the treatment. My whole family goes to him now. We enjoy going there because Dr. Michael makes sure that we are very comfortable during all the procedures. The staffs are very professional and friendly. Going there make me feel like visiting old friends. Both my husband and I had dental implant from Dr. Chen, I had to say, the experience is great, I didn't suffer much. My tooth is perfect and I can eat almost anything I want. I just can't say enough how great this place is. What I can say is I don't have to search for dentist any more. read more

My family has been patients for Dr. Chen for the past 8 years since the office was in Tustin. I was looking for a second opinion when my previous dentist recommended more and more procedures. We were very pleased with the service and professionalism received from the staff. Dr. Chen is very thorough and always takes the time to explain to us about the diagnosis and treatment. It turned out I actually don't need that extra crown. My son was comfortable with the treatment that he did not gag, which was unusual for him. Just want to share my thoughts. read more

I found this dentist office through the great reviews it received from various sites. I had high expectations but was blown away with my entire visit. From the ease and friendliness of the receptionists to the super funny X-ray technician. Dr. Chen was the best & most knowledgeable dentist I have ever seen. His office is beautifully decorated & you feel welcomed throughout your entire visit. All the prices are up front and when I didn't have my insurance info, they called without hesitation. I highly recommend this office, you will not be disappointed read more

I personally have been going to Dr Chen for 10 years! My husband and daughter go to Canyon Dentistry as well. Dr Chen is highly skilled, kind and ethical. He is conservative and I trust all of his treatment diagnoses. His office is clean and very well kept and the staff is like a family. They help you with insurance questions and work hard to schedule your cleanings at convenient times. Thank GOD for this office. We have peace of mind when it comes to our dental health because of Dr Chen and his staff! read more

I was looking for a new dentist and my friend highly recommended Dr. Chen so I thought I would give him a try. He was very personable, explained everything that was going on with my teeth, and told me what to do to resolve some tooth issues I was having. When I came in to have some dental work done yesterday, I found it was truly pain free (even the injection) - that never happens! I recommend Dr. Chen to anyone who values excellence. read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience here. I recently moved from overseas with my baby and had a sudden pain in my tooth. I found it difficult to get an appointment anywhere within the next month, but when I explained to the receptionist that I had pain and had to organize a time when my hubby could look after my baby, she was so accommodating! She asked the dr Chen if he could help me first thing the next day and he came in early just to help me. When I went in for my appointment, dr Chen didn't rush. He thoroughly checked all my teeth for any issues, then checked for any signs of gum disease. I went back this morning to get a filling done, which is what I've been dreading all week. But the whole thing was very fast and pain free. I only felt stinging when my tooth was being numbed and that was it. After that, I had my teeth cleaned and now they look great! I'm now making my husband go to see him to get his teeth fixed. I highly recommend going here. They are super friendly and very professional. read more

Dr. Chen and all staff are amazing! Very friendly, patient, and informative!

I have never met a dentist so passionate about his work and so kind toward the patient and his staff as dr. Michael Chen is! I drive 100 miles for each appointment and plan to fly from Europe with the only purpose of having more dental work done by this amazing dentist! read more

I've been going to Dr. Chen for over 20 years and he has done an exceptional job at evolving and helping me keep my teeth healthy. His entire staff is super helpful and a pleasure to talk to each time I visit. I recently saw him and he ended up doing two fillings at the same time instead of making me come back, because there was an old filling that was leaking and had decay which needed to be removed. His attention to detail and willingness to do the right thing is much appreciated. He is a great dentist that knows what he is doing! read more

The staff & Dr. Chen are the best, always courteous and helpful and never to busy to answer any questions you may have. I'm so glad I found them it's worth the drive from fountain Valley. read more

I have been a patient for almost 20 years and followed Dr Chen to his new location in Irvine. I can't say enough great things about this dental group. Not only is the office nicely decorated the staff are personable and always provide excellent service. I appreciate that they honor appointment times and do not make me wait because they overbooked trying to fit as many patients as possible. I am one of those anxious patients and when I needed a dental procedure Dr Chen and staff went out of their way to assist me in getting through it. This was much appreciated! If you need to go to a dentist this is the one to visit! read more

My husband & I started going to Canyon Dentistry about one year ago. We are both extremely impressed by the the skill and integrity of Dr. Chen. He is by far, the most knowledgeable, talented, and ethical dentist we have ever been to. His entire staff is impressive, as well. We are always very happy with our regular teeth cleanings and check-up appointments. The front desk staff is also very friendly and they do their best to accommodate your needs and make you feel comfortable! If you are looking for a dentist, I would highly recommend Dr. Chen from Canyon Dentistry! read more

I have been with Dr. Chen for many many years when he was first in Tustin, before his move to Irvine location. I was a grown woman, scared of the dentist and needles. I looked for a pain free dentist, and discovered the water treatment he uses. I was like OK, lets do this on the cleaning. Wow! I refuse to go to any other dentist - ALL the staff are wonderful, and so courteous. I highly recommend Dr. Chen's office for all your dental needs. Peggy and Sara are the best of the best, just so you know read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Chen's for many years. He and his staff are professional and caring. I particularly appreciate the way he explains the procedures and answers my questions and concerns. If there is a way to save a tooth or design a better approach to a problem he will come up with a solution. read more

I used to have some anxiety but Dr. Chen and his staff really put me at ease. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. I will continue to be a patient here! read more

Dr. Chen is the best dentist I've ever had. I hate drills and he fixed my cavities quick and I didn't feel a thing. He definitely has my business from now on! read more

4 Stars only because he doesn't wear a cape and fly! I have a problem mouth. At least that's what I believed and have been told for YEARS. Finding Doc Chen was a God thing. Starting in a Newport Beach high rise dentist office where another guy and a partner shuffle you back and forth to a chair in a different dentist office in Tustin next to a "coffee shop" I kept looking for someone could, with detail vision and clarity properly do dental implants, and a friend of my wife's said "oh hey! There's this incredible guy in Irvine...figuring that I had nothing to lose, I booked an appt with Doc C. Dude! Get this guy cloned. He said "I'm going to fix this" carefully and detailed he explained what he was going to do. In surgery he found out why I was having blackout headaches and always felt feverish. A piece of mercury laden metal was left behind by a dentist 20 years ago. Kelly something from Harbor Dental. Anyway he cleaned up the necrotic material (that's dead and black tissue for you non med types) today I am 1 month away from step two of implants. I'm healing well and have tissue growing to rebuild receded material. Doc Chen is AWESOME! Careful, detailed, confident, kind, professional. Oh the bad review. Check out the dudes other review. Give Doc Chen a try. Next year this time I will hve two new front teeth and no headaches and the low grade fever and neck stress is completely gone. Doc Chen cannot verify that the necrotic material that was removed was the cause of my constant health issues but I know this, it was removed, I saw the pictures, I have had only typical stress headaches and tension but I feel 100% better after the surgery healed and a run of antibiotics. My wife says I'm much happier too! read more

I am usually nervous about having dental work done but Dr. Chen is great about not only explaining what he is doing but constantly checking in to make sure that I am comfortable. He takes what can be a very stressful day and makes is pleasant. read more
