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.

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.

Not only are they all incredibly kind, accommodating, and welcoming - they also show their expertise with ease. I have never had a more comfortable experience getting cavities filled, and was shocked by the amount of modern tools that they have in the office which seemed to make the process, not only faster, but much more efficient and less painful.

Nina herself was fine enough, though she definitely pushed teeth whitening/cosmetic work more than other dentists I've seen. The receptionists were genuinely so sweet. My issue is that I repeatedly stated I did not want any "extras" and only wanted the basic cleaning covered by my insurance.. During the cleaning, with my eyes closed, something was squirted into my mouth and I was told to rinse and spit. it was chlorhexidine antibacterial rinse... the exact type of add on I had already declined multiple times to multiple staff members, including the dentist and the lady who quoted me for the visit originally and reviewed prices with me :/ At checkout I was told I still had to pay +$55 because it had "already been used." I tried disputing it, but after waiting 20 mins while the receptionist dealt with another rly upset customer, I had to leave for work and just paid it. I left feeling disappointed and honestly taken advantage of.. being charged for something after repeatedly saying no to it is not okay. I hope the office takes consent and listening to patients more seriously in the future :(

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.

Aside from my epic crown and cleaning, the office was able to work with my horrible janky insurance and help me get my tooth repaired at a killer deal. The office is very clean and modern and the front staff truly make your experience top tier. I'll be telling all of my friends and family about Plaza Dentistry.
