    Jayda R.

    I simply cannot give ENOUGH praise to Dr. Charlie, Dr. Zoya, and the entire team at Define Dentistry! I've absolutely adored every one of them from the first appointment I set up for my two young daughters. So much so that I (a habitual dentist avoider) decided to finally take care of some problem areas I had. I went into my appointment feeling extremely anxious, but I was put at ease as everyone who interacted with me assured me I was safe and in good hands. I was even given a cute cow squishmallow to keep me company . Everything from the initial numbing process to filling 3 cavities was completely painless (and so quick I couldn't believe it!) My experiences with this team have completely erased all my fears about the dentist. I'm a happy client for life!

    Had my first appointment today and I can't say enough about my experience here. From the moment I stepped in I felt at ease. Katie who did my cleaning and X-rays talked me through what she was doing and was very gentle. Dr. Charlie explained my treatment plan and gave me options. And front desk ladies were able to find me appointments that fit perfectly with my schedule.

    Freshly cleaned teeth!

    No one really likes going to the dental office but this place makes it easier for you to feel…read morecomfortable and not feel pressured. Been coming here for years and without a doubt I appreciate the service and quality of work/ care I get from their staff. I went for a cleaning this morning and the dental assistant that helped me was informative and knowledgeable on what I needed and how my X-rays turned out. I'm glad I didn't wait longer for this appointment because now I need a deep cleaning. Luckily the insurance covered a lot of it and I'm scheduled for the deep cleaning in the future. Thank you Livermore Dental Care.

    I am not a fan, the employees of course are lovely, but the doctor/dentist (Dr. Gibson). I can't…read moreeven think of his name right now, but he is very wishy-washy and he is awkward. The communication has been very unfortunate between what my needs are and referring me to a periodontist. In addition, I wanted to get my teeth cleaned every four months and they literally told me. No, they said they could schedule two times a year, who does that? Then I did have a checkup and a schedule for a teeth cleaning and I specifically said that I have some pain and a worrisome spot so I've been waiting a week for this appointment in pain, a couple of hours before my appointment they just canceled, they don't call me. They text me and say we're just going to refer you to someone else, what? That is irresponsible, negligent impossibly hurtful to me as I have patiently been waiting for this appointment. I am not happy at all. I have been going here for years, but because this dentist works with my periodontist. I figured I would stick it out, but I've had enough. It is not worth it. I need genuine, trustworthy, communication, not wishy-washy and unclear communication. Very unfortunate. I know it is hard to judge ourselves because everybody else sees something else but I am truly patient and I do my best to communicate on a thorough level but maybe I was too gentle with what I needed.

    Dr Joe is amazing!!!! He saved my bridge, does excellent work, could t recommend more!read more

    I used to drive about an hour just to see Dr. Hwang because he's truly the first dentist that made…read moreme feel comfortable and safe under his care. When I first went into his office, I had a good 20 something years of horrifying dental experiences. From my first dentist who forced spreaders into my little mouth and likely caused my TMJ, to the dentist who was so careless, inattentive (and just plain evil) that she attempted to do a root canal on me after my anesthetic wore off (not even asking if I felt pain) and without her assistant present to suction the blood and debris because she was too impatient to wait for her return from break. (The end result of which was me choking and spitting up the pool of blood that had formed in the back of my throat all over my own shirt and not receiving so much as an apology, just an expression of irritation.) I digress, Dr. Hwang is the exact opposite of that. You never feel like you're one of 10 plates the dentist is spinning, running from one room to the next to maximize patient count for $$$. Instead, you meet genuinely kind reception, a calm atmosphere, modern equipment and a dentist with great skill and gentle hands who always seems fully attentive and explains everything to you thoroughly. You won't be aimlessly sitting in the dental chair for hours waiting for him to return while your anesthetic wears off. Instead, you'll have quick, gentle treatment and consultation on your options. Some of my biggest dental regrets are the bad dental work I received at various dentists before I discovered Dr. Hwang. Unfortunately, I don't have insurance anymore so I had to find a medi-cal dentist and thankfully I did eventually find one I love, but every so often I'll get a birthday e-mail from Tri Valley Aesthetic and look back fondly and wish I could return and someday I think I will. If you have the option, I would highly recommend Tri Valley Aesthetic under Dr. Hwang.

    My daughter was seen February 2024 and was immediately told she needed braces. Xrays were taken…read moreand she had rubber band spacers placed all at the initial consult. We returned a few days later only to find that the provider had placed the spacer on the WRONG SIDE of her mouth. Needless to say, we were not pleased that she had to go through several days of discomfort for nothing. We immediately decided that we would get care elsewhere. The office told us there would be no NO CHARGES for her care. They "pretended" to be sorry for their mistake. Although I was still upset about the mistake, I felt the solution was adequate. For all my other dental visits, my insurance was billed within a few days and I have never waited more than 2 weeks after a dental visit to get a dental claim fully processed. In this case, the office submitted a claim 6 months after the visit and the insurance paid the office over $400 for "consultation" and xrays. I find it shady that the claim was submitted so many months after the visit. It makes me feel like they waited until we forgot about them. My fault I didn't notice this at the time because we had moved on to a different orthodontist (Dr. Schlicher--who is amazing and didn't even feel my daughter needed to have braces right away and has just been monitoring her for the past 2 years WITHOUT CHARGING US OR OUR INSURANCRE COMPANY! Six stars for him) I was recently looking over dental claims and noticed the 2024 ortho charge. I have $3000 lifetime ortho coverage so this office basically took over 10% of that amount for hurting my child. I called the office to discuss this and the basic answer I got was just to dispute the charges with the insurance company. The person I spoke said "of course we would charge for the xrays". REALLY???? You make a mistake that hurts a child and then wait 6 months and charge for xrays that we will never be able to use? And she then says "oh, we can send you a copy of the xray". Thanks lady...I really need xrays that are two years old because my daughter's mouth has not changed for the past 2 years! When I asked her why the claim was submitted 6 months after the visit, she immediately blamed the insurance company. There have been numerous dental claims submitted for every member of my family and yet this is the only incidence of this type of delay. It's been a long time since I've been this upset. Do not go to this place. They just rush to slap braces on everyone. Did I mention Dr. Schlicher has just been monitoring my daughter FOR NO CHARGE since 2024 and he sees her twice a year. Digest that! I only wish there was an option for ZERO STARS!!!!!
