Dr. Chui and his team changed the way I see dentist visits overall. I have been going to Dr. Chui's office for a little over 6 years now and its always a great visit. The team knows who I am and they make me feel welcomed. The team is super friendly, approachable and professional. Dr. Chui is knowledgeable, gentle and all around a great individual to deal with. I will continue to go to him until the end of time even as my insurance changes policies and coverages. read more

I just got done from my first dental cleaning in over 6 years... you read that right - 6 YEARS. I was slightly nervous (it is the dentist office after all) and excited to visit Dr. Chui's office as he had so many positive ratings. It took 1.5 months to get my first introductory cleaning + x-ray exam due to him being so busy. But, I now understand why he is so well-liked and highly requested. The dental hygienists and staff were so welcoming and friendly. They made me at peace the whole time. Somehow, my hygienist was able to clean my "6-year old" teeth in 1 hour... I could feel and see the difference instantly! It was amazing. Dr. Chui is a warm, friendly and thorough dentist. His office is equipped with the latest technology. While I was lying in the chair, I was able to see the exact teeth he was referencing and talking about via a large computer monitor hanging from the roof which was connected to a livestream camera... so awesome! Dr. Chui was able to show me on the screen where a cavity was forming and how I was grinding/clenching my teeth down. I could clearly see the uneven borders and enamel and even hairline cracks in my teeth through the screen images. I assume I have been doing this for years but Dr. Chui is the first dentist to go out of his way to educate me on this. While there, I even decided to purchase a custom-mold dental guard. This product is offered by Dr. Chui's office. Dr. Chui had two options to choose from and even insisted I purchase the more economical option to see if I utilized the guard enough before purchasing the more expensive one. He was upfront, honest and not "pushy" in any regard. In two hours at Dr. Chui's office, I learned more about dental hygiene and my own teeth structure then I had learned ever before. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Chui and his staff to anyone in the area looking for a well-mannered, thorough and friendly dental office. read more

Love Dr. Chui and his staff! Our family has been going to Dr. Chui for years and he has always been friendly

Dr Chui recently helped my mom on her crown. Dr chui was super thorough and in my mom's word, "perfect". He was very sensitive to make sure her crown fits perfectly. His work was so good as if the crown was her own teeth all along. His staff are also very professional, super nice. It was beyond her expectations that she had me write a review right away. Thank you Dr Chui for taking care of my mom! read more

I have been going to Dr. Chui for 8 years now. Having lived in Marin County for 47 years (and seen at least 6 other dentists), Dr. Chui is STILL THE BEST EVER. He is so kind, understanding, professional and honest. His staff are so wonderful. I'm in my late 70's, and Dr. Chui & staff all take the time to answer my questions, treating me with respect. I recently had a (top front tooth) filling fall out - it was over 50 years old. X-rays were taken and several options were discussed. Before I came in to the office, I thought I wanted an implant. Dr. Chui told me that a crown would work well for me, at much less expense. (Because I have many fillings and cracks in most of my very old teeth, veneers would be risky and not hold up.) I then decided that I really wanted to get both front upper teeth crowned, so that the colors would match each other. I have a big smile, my teeth are mostly discolored greyish, with a few old gold crowns and a couple "too whitish" crowns put in by previous dentists. I then offered another idea, to "shave down" the side of the 2nd front tooth, because it was sticking out too much. Dr. Chui was so patient with me. He knows I don't have dental insurance and this would come out of my savings. Dr. Chui then mentioned the actual cost of what I was thinking about doing. He said just replacing the filling that fell out is a practical solution. If I didn't like it, I could do crown/s later. He let me think about it and a couple weeks later, I had the one front tooth filled. I am very happy with my decision. I am so happy that Dr. Chui discussed this so completely with me. And was SO HONEST. I will always recommend Dr. Chui. I just wish I had found Dr. Chui many more years ago. (About 11 years ago, my previous dentist in Novato told me that same front filling, that fell out only recently, was actually my tooth decaying and that I needed a crown immediately.) read more

Dr. Chui is the best Dentist I've personally met, he is truly a perfectionist, a teacher to his patients, kind and extremely knowledgeable. I am very grateful to have him working on me. I can't say enough good words about this man. The girls in his office are delightful and friendly. read more

I had a filling chipped off and needed a new dentist in my area so my friend referred Dr. Chui. Dr. Chui is honest and friendly. I like that he doesn't try to up sell you. You come in with problem(s) so he would only help with the problem(s). The office is very clean and nice. I will come back to get other fixes! read more

I recently went to Dr Chui for my first implant procedure. As always, Alan was very informative prior to beginning the procedure and he did an outstanding job. He then showed me both photos and the xrays of what he had done. Very precise placement and although a little uncomfortable no pain to speak of. I had anticipated being fairly sore after the novacaine had worn off and to my great surprise I had no pain at all! Alan called me on my cell around 7:30 that evening to check on me and we had a nice conversation about post procedure do's and don'ts. Great dentist! read more

I just started going to Dr. Chui and at 70 y.o., he is one of the best dentist I have ever met. I had an emergency and even though I was a new patient, Alan got me in and saved the day. He is very gentle, precise in his craft, and explains what he will be doing to make the patient comfortable. His staff is equally competent, with very pleasant dispositions. The office environment is one of the best I have ever seen; clean, newish and very calming. If there was a 6th star, they would get it. read more

LOVE-HATE RELATIONSHIP Would love to run into Dr Chui at Peet's and shoot the breeze. Just don't love having to see him with a paper napkin chained around my neck. You know how it is. Dental work. Yuk. But, as far as dentists go, Dr. Chui is a cool guy. He's more on the conservative side, so won't jam a bunch of dental work on you unless you need it. He's more likely to put a "watch" on it to see if you really need the work done. I recently had 2 cavities filled. (I am one of those poor souls that just has genetically crummy teeth). Dr. Chui works quickly and efficiently. The novocaine injection barely hurt, more of a pinchy feeling, and he got each tooth done, from start to finish, in about 45 minutes. That includes waiting around time to get numbed up. He has a gentle touch and smallish hands. Doesn't over power you when he's in your mouth. He has a lovely chair side manner. Works quietly, nothing worse than a chatty dentist, and is perceptive about if you're feeling pain. Overall, I'm a happy paitent. read more

Dr. Alan Chui is not only a wonderful dentist, but he is a wonderful person. I was a dentist's worst nightmare, and I now visit Dr. Chui regularly because of how he treats and heals people who have neglected their oral care so horribly. Dr. Chui takes the time, which in this time such a rare and extremely important gift. Dr Chui is a person that you want to visit and he is not only a dentist but an educator! I continuously leave his office with knowledge of my oral care and a feeling of confidence that he will do any procedure with success. Dentists like this are very hard to find, and if you see Dr. Chui, you will win in spades! read more

I love my dentist! I have been a patient of Dr. Chui's since he started his practice in Novato. He is a wonderful dentist as well as a nice person. The staff in his office are the best! Everyone goes out of their way to make you feel at home. A1 Service!! Dr. Chui even called me at home to make sure I was feeling okay after my crown appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Alan Chui! read more

The hospitality and professional services were 1st class best ever! Dr.Chui found and repaired a problem that had existed for years and ignored by other dentists. Modern up to date procedure's accomplished. No pain, all good, exceptional in every way! Finally found the dentistry service I've been looking for. Positive energy throughout the whole experience. . read more

The dental hygienists have poor bedside manner and we're rough during cleanings and X-rays. The dentist gave advise to have a tooth removed that was unnecessary and removed a healthy tooth. The hygienists also gave false information on Invisalign to try to sell it when it was going to provide no service functionally or cosmetically. I regret having ever gone here. read more

I've been going to see Dr. Chui for years...ever since early teens. I like that I can get an early 7am appointment before work starts. Everyone at the office is very nice and friendly. They are thorough and work done is generally painless as far as dental procedures go. They have great memories, as they remember things told to them 6 months ago. The office is nice and clean, with all new equipment. I like that they send emails and text messages to remind you of your appointments. Definitely recommend Dr. Chui and his staff. read more

A sagacious human being and a meticulous dentist who also enjoys explaining things until you understand them. Very happy with my choice of a new dentist based on going through many, many reviews of multiple dentists. Can't have anyone else's hands in my mouth now. read more

It is easy to see why Dr Chui and his team get 5 star ratings. I have been to many dentists and unfortunately many of those visits resulted in negative experiences i.e. extremely judgmental hygienists who feel they are more of an expert about teeth than the dentist is and who make the patient feel like an irresponsible human being! Today I had my first new patient visit with Dr Chui and it was beyond fantastic. Right from the time I walked in the door I felt welcomed. He even waved to me from the hallway and I had not even met him yet! Dr Chui spent a large amount of time with me completing xrays and then reviewing the xrays with me and the health of each tooth. He then introduced me to Maclyn, his hygienist, and the fun begun. Maclyn was such a ray of sunshine and extremely kind and gentle. I love getting my teeth cleaned and Maclyn loves cleaning teeth. I left the office with a bag of dental goodies, a smile on my face and a confident feeling about my next cleaning in 2 weeks time - trust me, I had not been to the dentist for 5 years and it was LONG overdue. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Dr Chui and his team. It may take a while to get in but trust me, it is SO WORTH IT. read more

Dr. Chui is GREAT. He came in on his day off after I broke a tooth. He is an THE example of what it is to be a good person. Very polite and willing to take the time to explain any and all question I had. read more

Alan Chui, DDS is the best dentist. Dr. Chui totally exceeded my expectations. His attitude and professionalism is outstanding.

I have been a patient for a number of years. The entire practice is a pleasure (well, not always) to be with. They are always on time, professional, have a sense of humor and listen. Jennifer is a great hygienist. Dr. Chui is very thorough and explains your options. For those of us who are retired and may not have insurance Dr. Chui's rates are reasonable. read more

Alan Chui is the most adorable dentist I have ever met. His sheer enthusiasm and passion for what he does comes through at each and every visit. The staff is super friendly and everyone makes the patients feel comfortable and at ease. This is a wonderful dental office and I would highly recommend Dr. Chui to anyone seeking a new dentist. read more

I've been a patient of Dr Chui for over a decade and his staff have always been professional, friendly and informative. The office is quite new and décor very calming. They want you to have a good experience in what is frankly a stressful time for most people and it shows. My husband and son also go there. There's no forced upsell of services either. They tell you what you need and give you options and advice but leave it you to decide. I highly recommend them as your dental provider of choice. read more

Dr Chui is an excellent dentist. He explains each procedure in layman's terms which every patient can understand. He is so efficient and accurate that any procedure seems effortless. April, his assistant, is proficient and knowledgeable. Dr Chui and April work well together. Suping, his dental hygienist, is thorough with the cleaning process. Robin, who is his office manager, is knowledgeable with dental benefits. Claire, his office assistant, is efficient with managing appointments and telephone. Most important, I feel safe, secure and comfortable at Dr. Chui's office that I can fall asleep in the chair! read more

This is the place to go for all of your dental needs.. My hygenist Kelly is great. Dr Chui is a fantastic dentist. He is quick and the procedures are almost pain free. Even my family members that are reluctant to visit a dentist have had good experiences. I had a crown that came to his office on a Friday and I couldn't make it down there. He met me on Sunday so I could have my new tooth.. Real service.. Anyway give the office a try for any dental needs.. read more

If he wasn't a dentist...I would look forward to seeing him! I had a great dentist but he retired and the Dr. that took over for him wasn't very good, so a friend recommended Dr. Chui, been going to him for appx. 10 years now...nice guy, great staff, good work, listens and explains thoroughly and conscientious (makes a concerted effort to not recommend work that isn't covered by insurance, is willing to check with insurance before doing work, puts work off until insurance will cover it and in my case: I needed a crown but told me that because I had bone loss he wanted to wait to see if we could stop the problem before doing the crown so that I wouldn't pay money for a crown only to lose the tooth!) He even called me at home after work hours to make sure I was feeling o.k. after a filling!! What dentist does that? read more

Dr. Chui and his staff do an excellent job. The office is conveniently located with plenty of parking in front. The staff is friendly and helpful. read more

Great Dentist. My family have been seeing him for years. Nice and very knowledgeable with a great helpful staff. Everything he has bone has been almost painless. He recently did an implant for me, as usual great job. I would highly recommend Dr. Chui. read more

Incredibly kind staff, amazing service, and beautiful facility! Dr. Chui is very knowledgeable and efficient, and was able to see my husband in an emergency. Any dental needs, one must go here! read more

My father was my dentist my whole life. When I moved to California and, later, my dad passed away, it was hard for me to think about trusting someone new. I am such a nervous dental patient. All my fears were extinguished when I met Dr. Chui and his staff. The office staff is incredibly kind, Dr. Chui is extremely knowledgable and the hygienist is thorough and very gentle. read more

I can't say enough about how wonderful Dr. Chui and his support staff are. Dr. Chui just came in on a day off to check my college bound son's wisdom teeth and then got him in immediately to remove them. He is extremely thorough and answers every question. He is also very kind and genuine. We also love his dental hygienist, Jennifer, she does a great job and is really nice. The rest of the office staff is also extremely helpful and has great follow up. They work really hard to make sure you get an appointment when you need it. The office is modern and you really couldn't ask for more. Thank you to Dr. Chui and his entire staff for taking such good care of our family's dental needs. read more

Dr. Chui and his very kind and helpful staff helped me tremendously today. I am 63 and justifiably fearful of dentists and dental work because of a long history of tooth horrors. I had not been to the dentist in two years and I was afraid and embarrassed by my fear. This morning I finally mustered up courage to call and could not be happier than I am right now. I was treated gently and kindly and felt my terror melt away right after walking through the door. Dr. Chui is gentle, direct, humorous and comforting. Everyone in the beautifully appointed office is as well. I honestly look forward to going back and have already recommended them to family and friends. This is a very special place graced by kind and inspired people. They see the human who surrounds the teeth. Thank you! read more

I would give Dr Chui more then five stars! When I began my venture with Dr. Chui I was in quite a bad place with my teeth. Long story, my old dentist pulled my second tooth from the front because I had a root canal. Then I had to wait five years to get an implant because I was too young. Then right when I was going to have my implant done he had a stroke :( he brought a different dentist in to do the implant. The new dentist then put the implant in incorrectly. I waited 6 months for it to heal and in that time, that dentist moved back to Seattle and my dentist had another stroke. My aunt referred me to Dr Chui. I went in and he was so kind. He completely understood my situation. He told me a had a few options. I could remove the implant and replace it. I could leave it and live with a flipper. Or I could have gum surgery and keep what I had. I decided to have the surgery. He referred my to a top surgeon in SF. I had the surgery, it healed, and I went to meet a dentist that I was referred to by the surgeon. I met with that dentist and he told me there was nothing he could do to help me and that I was going to have to get the implant removed. With that said I went back to Dr Chui. He them came up with a solution for a permanent tooth. He took lots of impressions and pictures and sent them to the lab. We received the tiny tooth and tried it on. Dr Chui did not like how it looked and sent it back. What an efficient Dr. We got it back two weeks later. He still didn't think it was perfect so he sent it back. Just recently, I went back in and it fit like a glove! I cannot begin to tell you have wonderful of an experience I had with Dr chui. He took care of me as if I were his family. He was so detail oriented and wanted to make sure that everything was up to his standards, which were very high. He has wonderful bed-side manner and was 100% present when I was in his chair. I really cannot thank him enough for making this horrible ordeal of almost 8 years come to an end for me. I was nervous to smile for such a long time but now, thanks to Dr Chui I have my smile back and it's better than ever! read more

Everyone in Dr Chui's office is always professional and friendly. I've been going there for years and feel like we have a friendship as well as a business relationship. The office handles everything promptly and efficiently. read more

This dentist is very professional and explains everything he does. He offers the chance to ask questions about anything. His staff is also professional and friendly. HIs office is beautiful and well equipped. They are an "On time" office. I have never had to wait. I feel I get honest and knowledgeable answers and professional care. read more

As much as I hate going to the dentist, I've been going to Dr. Chui faithfully for years. Today's extraction was handled promptly and professionally and, shall I add, painlessly. Dr. Chui gets two thumbs up in my book. I won't be looking for a new dentist anytime soon read more

I just moved to Novato and my co-workers recommended Dr. Chui's office. I'm in love! I have never been to an office that is so friendly and genuinely cares about me and my needs. The staff is great and everyone knows what they're doing. Dr. Chui is very nice and did a very thorough exam and explained everything to me. I feel very comforatable and safe in this office. I highly reccomend Dr. Chui's office. read more

When you find a good dentist, you will make some sacrifices in order to keep him. Dr. Chiu is a GREAT dentist. Personable, savvy on the latest techniques, with state of the art, clean, modern facilities. I used to live in Novato but bought a home in Benicia. Even though it's a 35 Min. - 1 Hr. drive, each way, (depending on Hwy #37 traffic), my wife and I have been driving there 2-5 times a year, ever since he started his practice. You would be hard pressed to find another dentist that can even come close to his caliber. read more

Simply Aces. Went to Dr Chui for a second opinion and found Dr Chui and his staff professional, personable and reasonably priced so I signed up on the spot-despite being fearful of dentists due to past painful experiences. Returned 2 weeks later (he's busy..no surprise) for a crown and cavity. First off, he numbs the area and actually waits until it takes effect so novacane shot, and rest of work, is pain free! Next, in doing crown work, he decides he does not need to build-up tooth first and tells me--thus saving money. So, I would add integrity to his attributes. Lastly, he checks gums and puts the "damage" in perspective not trying to fear me into regular teeth cleaning sessions-still, I sign up for a session. Bottom line, for the first time in years, I'm looking forward to taking excellent care of my teeth. Thanks Dr. Chui....and to your assistant, April, too! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE, well as much as you can love your dentist, Dr. Chui and his staff. They are very professional, knowledgable, and caring. The offices are great- very clean and relaxing. Dr. Chui is very mindful of any discomfort and takes great care to make sure you have no discomfort. read more

I have been going to Dr. Chui for many years. He has taken immaculate care of my teeth, as well as my daughter's teeth. He answers all my questions thoroughly, and promptly addresses any problems. He has even come in on the weekend for me when I had a problem. His staff is wonderful and warm. The office is gorgeous with lots of natural light and huge windows. I highly recommend Dr. Chui as a dentist! read more
