First time trying a new dentist and couldn't be more thrilled with the care at RGB! Each person…read moreworking there was so skilled, friendly, and caring. Everyone we interacted with from reception, dental assistants, and Dr B himself was very thorough and kind to my husband and I are new patients. They took our X-rays as baseline for new patients and Dr B came to introduce himself before anything began and explained his approach (minimal but very thorough) to dentistry. They're quite busy and looking slots decently far in advance so highly suggest calling and planning ahead!

My wife and I have been going to this practice for the last 3 years, and recently we decided to…read morestop going there due to the following: * They mainly prefer doing crowns, and the doctor doesn't do fillings--it seems it's not worth his time unless there is crown involvement. * The new front desk staff never respond to messages. * Over the last year, I started noticing they send additional bills without explanation, even after paying the copay at checkout. * Their hygiene staff keeps changing, and we have to go over everything again with each new hygienist. Unfortunately, i decided to leave a review here due to not getting a response on their follow up survey ,we have to find a different practice, even though we have invested a lot of time and money there.

The staff is always friendly and…read morewelcoming, and the office is clean, modern, and comfortable -- which already makes a big difference when going to the dentist. Huge shout-out to Julie, the dental hygienist. She does an amazing job every time. One of the best cleanings I've ever had -- thorough but gentle, and she actually takes the time to explain things and make sure you're comfortable. My teeth feel incredibly clean after every visit. Dr. Chan is also great -- professional, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. He never rushes and makes sure all your questions are answered. The front desk team is efficient and kind, and scheduling is always smooth. Highly recommend Classic Dental Smiles if you're looking for a dental office that's professional, friendly, and actually pleasant to visit.

Negative Crown Replacement Experience and Billing Issue…read more As a first-time patient, I came to this office to proactively replace a partially damaged crown. The affected tooth was asymptomatic (no pain/sensitivity) beforehand. Following the temporary crown fitting during the first visit, and then after the final new crown fitting later, I experienced persistent pain and discomfort that did not subside. Given my past positive experience with multiple successful crowns by other dentists, this outcome was unexpected and I lost confidence in this dentist quickly, especially after this issue necessitated a subsequent unexpected root canal and implant for the same tooth by other dental professionals. Furthermore, as I believed I was overcharged for the crown replacement, I filed a formal complaint with my dental insurance, and after their review of the bill, I was able to secure a $673 refund.

Let's be honest... no one wakes up excited for a deep gum cleaning. It's uncomfortable, and there…read morewere moments I was gripping the chair. But Dr. Nina and her staff are ahhhh-mazing. She's kind, reassuring, and didn't dismiss my fears. She took the time to answer every question and made sure I was okay. The follow-ups afterward were just as impressive. I needed a crown at the second appointment. They knocked everything out in one visit. No temporary crown, no coming back, no extra hassle. I'll happily trade an extra hour for having to rearrange my schedule for a second appointment. A huge shout-out to the front office staff. Instead of just running my insurance (and credit card!) and calling it a day, they actually worked to find the most cost effective option for me. The fact they played the "Insurance Game" (which is the worst game ever invented) shows that they care. The office is clean and incredibly organized. Scheduling was easy, and despite being a busy practice, everything felt well run. A couple of minor drawbacks: they're definitely on the pricier side, but I truly think the quality of care and convenience justify it. Also, the treatment areas are separated by dividers instead of walls, so if the person next to you is giving their life story to the hygienist... congratulations, you're part of the conversation too. It creates a busier atmosphere and doesn't offer as much privacy as a traditional office. TLDR: Yes. This is the place you want to go.

I would not recommend him at all. He took a big chunk out of my tongue during a crown removal. The assistant blamed it on my tongue moving around during the procedure. I said, so the next patient is going to be told that there is a good chance a chunk of tongue will be taken out during a crown removal? They finally decided to use a tongue depressor to hold my tongue down and keep my tongue out of the way. Their excuse was that they did not anticipate the movement. What is this, the first time they have done this? Then the assistance kept running out of the office to get things. Why were they not prepared for all the tools and items they needed before I got there? There were more issues but I'm only going to concentrate on two: the chunk of tongue they took out and the disorganization. I'm not going back until Dr. Nguyen comes back.
