I know this isn't my first review, but I just have to give credit where credit is due. When you walk into an appointment and they greet you by name, it feels good. When you go to the back and EVERYONE says hi to you by name and with a smile, it's better. But when you are asked questions about your family and family experiences that are going on in your life that either you or one of your family has mentioned to them (e.g. when does ____ (using my son's name) leave to the Air Force camp?, How is ____ and _____ (using names of my daughter and her 8 month old son), "so _____ (grandson's name) is 8 months now, right??, Tell ____ (husband's name) [message] that the Raiders [whatever message is]...).... And on top of that, you get excellent dental service from ANYONE that may need to work on you, THAT, is the most awesome feeling ever. Not only excellent dental service, but THEY treat YOU and your family like you are THEIR family.... 5++++++++ stars!!! I have never had this type of service anywhere else. You are not just a number, or the "next patient" at Excel Dental. You are family and I wouldn't want to go anywhere else to do dental work!!!! To the entire staff: Keep up the great work. You guys are all awesome. Thank you for the continued GREAT DENTAL EXPERIENCE!!! You make going to the dentist, EASY and ENJOYABLE!! I always look forward to my appointments!! read more

Kenya and Maribeth have always been so kind and understanding... And realize that my fear of dentist offices is real. They go above and beyond to put me at ease when I come in. Kenya's beautiful smile and giggle are so appealing , and I look forward to seeing her. Maribeth's demeanor and interesting conversations are soothing and calming. They are both warm and friendly but professional and efficient. In fact, they have both gained my trust so much that I can come in by myself now..without my husband holding my hand and without tranquilizers on board. Thanks, ladies! You make the dentist almost pleasant! read more

Dr. Trinh and the team at Excel Dental are nothing short of amazing. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was visiting friends rather than getting my teeth checked. The office is bright, clean and welcoming, and everyone is super friendly. Dr. Trinh has a way of making you feel relaxed and even managed to crack a few jokes that had me laughing in the chair. The care was thorough and professional. If you're looking for a dental experience that's top-notch, look no further. Who knew taking care of your teeth could be such a blast? Highly recommend! read more

Folks, went in for permanent crown. Excellent! Perfect fit. More names to mention: Emily (spelling?), Leonore, and Dawn. There might be one or two more. The temp crown didn't come loose. It's been over a month due to travel and holidays. Minimal pain. Excel Dental is top-notch. Thanks read more

From the receptionists to the finance director through to the assistants and dentist, Excel Dental on 3400 Calloway (and Meacham) have nothing but a knowledgeable, thoughtful, chipper, and professional staff. They have done extensive work on me and kept me informed on each step. The procedures were financially very competitive with other offices and they have their "stuff" together where scheduling is concerned. I am writing to shout out their very personable and efficient dental hygienist, Marybeth, who quickly and thoroughly cleans my teeth with cheerful dispatch. The time flies by as if you were enjoying a coffee with a friend. I don't write a lot of reviews, but in this case, I am moved to tip my hat to folks who do what they do so well and consistently so. -Chuck read more

I have been a patient at Excel Dental for over 5 years now and it's the best dentist office in town, hands down! Any time I call the office I am met with a very kind, attentive and professional receptionist. They were quick to help resolve insurance issues and I have had no problems since. I have yet to have a less than enjoyable experience here. Mary Beth is the best and Dr. Trinh is great! The staff cares about me as a person and not just a patient. Would definitely recommend this office and staff to anyone looking for a first or new dentist. read more

See all

Me and my family have been with Excel almost since their beginning. They have watched all four of our kids grow and have always treated them with care and love. Recently my mom was looking for a new place and I referred Dr. Trihn and Excel, and after a couple of visits she can't stop thanking me and gushing over how awesome they are. If you are looking for a gentle, cost-option friendly dentist I can highly recommend Excel Dental. read more

I've been coming to Excel Dental for a few years now and even after I permanently moved away to SD, I still continue to come to Excel. I visit family often so I like to schedule my appointments around the same time and I honestly have never felt the need to look for a dentist where I currently live. Although it would be more convenient, I just feel comfortable and trust the work that is being done, so as long as I'm coming into town I will continue to go to Excel. I've gotten my cleanings, fillings, and wisdom teeth pulled out here and I have never had a bad experience. Dr. Trinh is really great at explaining everything and is thorough in his work. I've been going to MaryBeth for my regular cleanings and she is amazing! Super friendly and will make the time go by so fast. The staff here is friendly and professional. The office itself is clean and well kept. You can tell they take pride in their work and business by how well they take care of their space. Overall, one of the best dentist offices in town. read more

So I was send here from the VA. And I want to say I love it here. First off the staff is so sweet professional and on point from the front desk to the dental assistant techs and nurses. The Dr only uses the latest tech and products I'm so happy to say that I'm changing my family dental care to come here. read more

I want to scream from the rooftops that I have found a dentist/oral surgeon that's THE BEST!!! I recently had some very serious & extensive work done that included oral surgery. I am pleased to report that I had almost no visible swelling and there wasn't any bruising! That's how to tell if they were gentle while you were "under."And this man was a PRINCE! Dr. Trinh at Excel Dental is my new forever dentist! Everyone in the office is excellent: warm & friendly but very skilled. Also a standout here: you're not sitting and waiting ad nauseum while he sees a million people before you. I can't find one objectionable point of my treatment by Dr. Trinh & I scrutinize. So if anyone needs a highly skilled & very gentle dentist/oral surgeon- Dr. Trinh is highly recommended by this fmr. scaredy-cat & picky lady. read more

I can honestly say that Excel Dental is one of the best dentist office ever! Dr. Trinh was so compassionate to my needs. The first visit with him he explained what I needed done. They went the the extra mile to ensure I was comfortable, knew exactly what I was going to have done and was made to feel well taken care of. Thank you for a pleasant experience and I greatly appreciate my visits and Dr. Trinh thank you for giving me back my smile. You have awesome staff!! read more

I Went to Trinh (after what I have been through I can't call him a DR.) few years back I went to Excel Dental for 2 implants, biggest mistake of my life. Let me be clear I only went to Trinh for the implants, I have a dentist that I use for everything else. After the implant work was completed I started having problems, I went back to see Trinh and he said I wasn't cleaning them correctly. So I went to my dentist about the problem and first thing he said was WOW and asked who did this. I asked what was the problem and he stated that they were to close and the back was put in at a angle and not straight. Every dentist and Hygienist all ask me how do I floss because of this problem, Its not easy believe me, they have all tried to give me ideas on how to floss. I went to Trinh. he did the Implants and told him this and he told that everyone has there own way of looking at x-rays and that mine are in straight and correct and showed me x-rays of straight implants (wow). I have been to 6 Different dentist and 1 periodontist, I seen all the x-rays with the angled implant and all the comments from all the other Drs. about how bad this is. Trinh has shone me x-ray of someone else implants stating that they are mine and that my implants and are in straight. The last time I was in he told me that another patient of his had been in complaining of the same thing and he showed me what looked to be the same x-rays he had shown me to be mine. I have had to see another periodontist to have a infection removed at the cost of a $2000.00 and saw Trinh after that but he stated it wasn't because of his work. And I now have another Infection and will probably to have one of implants removed to correct this problem Trinh give me, that will cost a few more thousand dollars. So do yourself a favor save your money, pain and suffering and find yourself a honest Periodontist. read more

I'm a morbidly obese person, and had difficulty finding a dentist who could accommodate me. I was however suffering from a dental emergency, and Dr. Trinh and his staff were able to find a way to accommodate me, and treated the problem right there on the spot. The staff is very professional, friendly and knowledgeable and treat their patients with respect and dignity. Dentists usually make me nervous, but the atmosphere at this office really put me at ease. Highly recommended! read more

Lala and Marybeth are the best, if you need a great cleaning or work in your teeth this is the place.

Dr. Trinh has been my dentist for many, many years. I first met dr. Trinh in the nineties at an HMO.  After he left and several bad experiences at this HMO, I did everything I could to find him and was happy when I finally located him in his own practice. He explains every procedure in detail; is compassionate, ensures I am comfortable, not in pain during the many procedures I've had done and delivers quality work.   His assistant Patty is so in tune with the doctor, anticipates his next move and is ready to hand him whatever he needs.  Mary Beth, the hygienist, and the entire staff are also professional and very personable.  The latter is very important as dental visits can be quite scary for some people.  Thanks dr. Trinh and staff! read more

My family of 4 has been going to excel dental for about 3 years now. We continued going through the pandemic as well because oral health is very important. The staff has always been very accommodating and safe in their methods. I feel that the dentist is very honest and does not recommend work unless it's absolutely necessary. My children say they love going to the dentist which is such a treat! read more

This Dentist office is very nice and clean it is in a great location. When I first entered the Lobby I was politely greeted and check in the waiting room is very fresh and clean and they have free bottles of water in a clean fridge. I didn't have to wait long at all to be called back for my work that had to be done on my mouth. The hygienist was very professional and polite once I entered the work room it was also very clean and neat and orderly and fresh after she preformed my cleaning I had to have some other work done the Dr came in he is very professional and tells the truth about your mouth and the work that needs to be preformed. He preformed the work on my mouth in a slow painless quality work manner. I recommend this office the Dr is able to preform all types of work you are not sent out on a referral except if you needs braces they don't do this here. They are not in it for the money and this Dr doesn't make up things about your mouth so you have to pay more he gets the job done I will be defiantly returning for work in the future. Come and check them out!!!! read more

Excel Dental - General Dentistry Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Honestly I don't think there are words to describe just how thankful I am for the staff at Excel Dental! They got me in on an urgent matter on a Friday when I was beyond desperate for help! From start to finish everyone was so helpful, informative and caring. What I though was going to be an "easy" fix turned into something that was way more in depth which caused me to be terrified and the staff was very understanding. Dr. Trinh was honest, gentle and only wanted what was best for me and gave me each and every possible option! I had such severe tooth pain but after my multiple hour long procedure yesterday I woke up today actually feeling SO much better despite looking like a chipmunk! Dental work is expensive wherever you go but when you go to Excel, at least you know you're getting the treatment you deserve and you're in great hands. Thank you all! read more

I usually go to this dentist. I need to bring my daughter in for tooth pain. I was pretty sure she needed at least a crown. I asked for an appointment that was early enough so she could get the crown started the same day. Well they did see her and said she needed a crown. But then they could not do it that day. He had to many other patients and the person before her needed more work done. Idk. I was very upset. I made this appointment for the sole purpose of getting the crown done. I took time off of work. They told me originally that we would get it all done that day. read more

My four children, my spouse and I have been coming to Excel Dental for a few years now. The staff is always friendly, the office has always been clean, and all necessary procedures and costs have been explained to my satisfaction. We've had everything from simple cleanings and exams to root canals and crowns. After having some bad experiences with previous dentists, my children, ages 4, 8, 12, and 15, are very happy with Excel Dental. A family friend recommended Excel Dental and I will be passing this recommendation on to others! read more

I had great experiences when took my niece here for her 3 wisdom tooth extraction about 2 weeks ago. This is extremely nice and clean office. It was easy to schedule via phone. We felt welcome when first came in. Staff was helpful contacting insurance and checking for coverage while we were filling out standard paperworks. We only had to wait for less than 10 minutes before be called in back office. The procedure and home care after procedure were well explained and all questions were answered in details by Dr.Trinh and his dental assistant before he started. Although we were so afraid that my niece would have a lot of pain with pulling 3 wisdom teeth at once, she actually didn't. He did it so fast and gently, talking to my niece during procedure what she would expect next. Thank you for taking care of my niece very professionally. I strongly recommend this dental service to any one! read more
