Last few times have been very good and past issues resolved and staff is friendly and hepful

Excellent dentist & staff!! Very professional. I had a crown replaced and 7 fillings. Highly recommended. read more

I usually don't expect to enjoy a trip to the dentist, but Canyon Dentistry really surprised me. Dr. Chen and Che' Shayne made the fillings quick and easy, and their calm energy helped me feel super at ease. Rose did my cleaning and was incredibly kind and thorough, and Tracy at the front desk is just so warm and welcoming every time I come in. Everyone there makes you feel genuinely cared for, and I'm honestly grateful to have found an office like this to the point I logged in to leave this review (I don't yelp usually) read more

This dental office at Canyon Dentistry is by the far the best office my family and myself have experienced. Every time I schedule an appointment, especially when I'm having dental pain they go above and beyond to work with me. They added me to a waitlist and was able to be seen an entire month earlier from my original appointment. Will forever be grateful for the front desk. Dr. Chen and his dental assistant were top class and are the best at what they do. He takes the time to explain any diagnosis and comes up with the best dental plan for you as an individual. Have come with terrible pain and have been taken care of and walked out with 100% relief every time. It's rare to get exceptional service and skill to match when going to dental offices, but it doesn't get better than Canyon Dentistry. read more

Dr. Chen & staff are absolutely amazing. I started coming here in Jan 2024 after years of avoiding the dentist due to Dental Anxiety and they have been nothing short of amazing. Dr Chen is kind, gentle and patient. Megan & Tracy at the front desk are friendly and helpful. I will butcher the spelling of the names of my Dental Hygienist & Dr Chen's assistant but they are also amazing. My teeth have gone through a dramatic transformation, from cleaning to restoring! Thank you Dr. Chen! read more

Dr. Chen is a gifted dentist. Front desk staff, however, can take a condescending tone during interactions. Sometimes it almost feels like they are trying to intimidate you. They are likely able to get away with it because Dr. Chen is in high demand. Wouldn't hurt to be a little kinder. But otherwise, you will receive high quality dental work here. read more

Came to Dr. Chen's office not sure what to expect because a dentist visit is never fun. Very efficient office! Everything was explained thoroughly including pricing and Megan and Tracy were so friendly and wonderful! Highly recommend if you are looking for a new dentist! read more

Dr. Chen is great! My cavity filling was virtually painless and a very smooth/quick experience. Everyone in the office is always very friendly and welcoming as well. read more

I have been going to Canton Dentistry for 10 years now. I am very impressed by the quality of service and care that I get. Dr. Chen goes above and beyond to explain the procedures and why they are needed. They also have a great system to store historical data, which is very useful. Staff are very friendly and organized. From scheduling appointments to follow up calls and confirming appointments, Stacy has been very friendly with always a smile on her face. Highly recommended. read more

Not usually a fan of the dentist, but I love this place! Dr.Chen is always very thorough and willing to go the extra mile. I love that he is a perfectionist! The administrative staff is also so kind and helpful. definitely recommend! read more

I've been a patient of Canyon Dentistry for many years, and have confidently referred many family and friends to their office. Everyone is so wonderful, from the front office to the hygienists and of course, Dr. Chen . I have the utmost respect for his advice and skill. I've always been treated with kindness and respect and they will take as long as needed to explain something to you. It could be regarding insurance , or a dental procedure.... no matter, I've never felt rushed. They are truly wonderful, caring people read more

We love Dr. Chen and his staff. Highly recommend! Staff is so friendly and welcoming. When my son came here for the first time, Tracy walked him through everything as a first time patient to make him feel comfortable. Dr. Chen is kind, funny and has good bedside manners. He takes the time to explain what is going on with your teeth and how he plans to proceed. Very impressed! read more

I am a senior citizen, recently me and my husband have been going to Canyon Dentistry for the past one year. I'm really appreciative for having the wonderful care the whole team have given us. Dr. Michael Chen is very skillful in his dental work, the dental repair or tooth implant feels like our natural teeth. During and after dental work, there is no pain or swelling at all. The dental office is well equipped with modern dental gadgets, a friendly meticulous hygienist, with the entire office team doing their utmost superb job, we are truly thankful to be taken care of by this wonderful office. read more

Dr.Chen is truly the best dentist. I have anxiety for dental work however their office is calming and staff is considerate. Also my hygienist Linda is very meticulous and thorough yet with a gentle touch. I recommend them highly. read more

I don't have enough kind words to say about the magical people that make this dental practice shine as bright as the smiles they produce! As a 22 y/o trying to get my dental health in order, I can't express how critical it is to feel comfortable that I'm in good hands. No questions here! Megan -- the office coordinator -- is delightfully kind and patient. She's also diligent with follow-up and making sure patients have all the details they need for the next step in improving/maintaining their dental health. She gave me easy-to-follow instructions on what to prepare prior to my visit and was really accommodating (printed out my paperwork for me at the office, because I don't have a printer). A+ care! Next I met Dawn -- arguably the most professional and caring Registered Dental Assistant I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. She was SO considerate with X-Rays, making sure not to leave the oftentimes uncomfortable X-Ray sensor in my mouth for too long. She has a great sense of timing when it comes to be cordial and personable...you know how sometimes someone will ask you a whole bunch of things when you have a big plastic apparatus in your mouth? Have no fear, Dawn is really considerate and empathetic (probably from her 10 years of experience in the field! you're working with seasoned vets here.). Also, I got to see all of my dental imaging right before my eyes (they have the most up-to-date, state-of-the-art equipment at this office). Enter: Dr. Chen... This man is a blessing to the planet earth! What a professional. - personable - knowledgable - patient - communicative - hilarious - up-to-date What more could you want from a dentist? It's no surprise that the best in the business associate together, so when Dr. Chen realized I need more advanced care, him and his staff set me up with a same-day consultation and procedure at a local endodontist (just 3 minutes down the street). Can't praise this office enough! Thanks again guys, excited to restore my dental health and hopefully some confidence in my smile in the coming years. read more

Dr. Chen & The Canyon Dentistry Team provide outstanding service. They put you at ease the moment you set foot into the office. The exam was thorough and comprehensive and unhurried. Dr. Chen appears to take care of patients one at a time, and I did not feel rushed. His technique is outstanding resulting in a minimum of discomfort, the right amount of anesthetic, with no need to return for adjustments to the fillings done. The oral hygienist was just as caring and took her time to clean and descale my entire mouth. Lastly, Dr. Chen took the time to listen to my needs and did not pressure to upsell any procedures I was not interested in. My whole experience from beginning to end was outstanding and I do not hesitate to recommend Canyon Dentistry to anyone. read more

I only have good things to say about Dr. Chen and Canyon Dentistry. I needed a dental implant for a permanent tooth I was born without, but the space between the neighboring teeth was quite small, right on the border of being too narrow for an implant. Dr. Chen worked with me despite my difficult situation, and I now have a beautiful implant thanks to his hard work. He also fit me into his schedule with short notice on multiple occasions when the bonding broke on my temporary tooth (a placeholder bonded to the neighboring teeth to fill the space before I had the implant). He rebonded the placeholder multiple times at no extra charge, which was especially generous considering that it was simply a temporary solution my previous dentist employed to hold the space for a future implant. All the staff at Canyon Dentistry are wonderful as well. Also worth noting is their awesome system for reminding you of upcoming appointments. They will send a text message to confirm upcoming appointments about a week out, and then again on the day of an appointment several hours in advance. This was extremely useful for me since I am terrible at remembering my appointments. Do be careful not to miss appointments, as you'll be charged $75 for not showing up. It really shouldn't happen as their system is excellent at reminding you of when you have an upcoming appointment (still, it happened to me once, so just be mindful of it). A big thanks to Dr. Chen and his staff for their hard work! read more

I'm so glad I found Dr. Chen's office after searching for a new dentist. My prior cavity fillings were deteriorating, and Dr. Chen and Dawn did a wonderful job repairing them. They're very thorough, explaining everything clearly and attentive to keeping you comfortable. I also like seeing the before and after pictures they take when I have cavities filled. I get to see just how bad my cavities are and how perfect my teeth look afterwards. This past week, I needed a cavity filled but couldn't use pain medication. Dr. Chen used his (recently upgraded) laser machine to clean up the cavity, no needles/pain meds needed!! Beyond taking great care of my teeth (I also get my teeth cleaned here), everyone here is very friendly and caring, making each visit a great experience. I wished I had changed dentists earlier! read more

Dr. Chen & The Canyon Dentistry Team are the very best! Going to the dentist can be intimidating and stressful making it easy to put off. The team at Canyon dentistry makes it so easy and are warm and welcoming you'll never dread going to the dentist again. They are accommodating to difficult schedules and understanding of all their patients needs... it really is the best place out there!! read more

Staff is very rude. They feel that patients should feel so lucky to get an appointment because they are so busy. Appointments have to be booked months and months in advance and then they cancel it on a whim. Extremely unprofessional. Does Dr.Chen know this is how you are treating his patients? Look elsewhere to spend your money. Plenty of other great dentists in the area. Your patients should be your priority, not your ego! read more

Dr. Chen and his staff are as good as it gets! He is an excellent dentist -- extremely thorough and very skilled. I recently had fillings and a tooth extraction done by Dr. Chen -- the fillings are aesthetically pleasing and I barely felt my wisdom tooth being extracted. If you have any anxiety going to your dentist, then you should consider visiting Dr. Chen. :) read more

I recently moved to Orange County and was in need of a new dentist. I am so happy I found Canyon Dentistry! Dr. Chen and the rest of the team has been nothing but nice, professional and thorough. They make you feel like you're their only patient for the day. They don't rush and always make sure I understand what's going on. They do a great job explaining everything. I'm also very happy with the result. I do most definitely recommend Canyon Dentistry! read more

Dr Chen is outstanding! I've never been to a dentist with his patience and attention to detail. I first visited him for a second opinion on getting a crown. He pointed out some things I should consider before making any decision, which turned out to be very helpful. Anyway the crown was eventually installed by Dr Chen and I couldn't be happier. I returned a couple months later for a cleaning and his hygienist suggested replacing 2 silver fillings which were about 35 years old. Dr Chen agreed and fit me into his schedule the following week. I was very pleased and impressed with how meticulous he was in grinding and polishing the final bite for a perfect fit! Besides Dr Chen, his front office assistant Megan and dental assistant Dawn are both super friendly and highly professional. If you need dental work of any kind, I highly recommend Dr Chen at Canyon Dental! read more

What a waste of time. I'm usually someone who loves the dentist but this soured my experience altogether. I specifically asked for a dr appt and a cleaning and they didn't tell me until after my dr. appt that they don't schedule in the same day. I've never in my 20+ years of going to the dentist religiously heard of that. Every step of the way it felt like they were trying to take advantage of me and upsell and charge me more. Additionally, I've never had xrays be so painful. The device they stick in your mouth has extremely sharp edges. She tried to tell me I probably haven't had the full xray set done but I just got invisalign so I assure you, i've had it done MULTIPLE times in the last few years. STAY AWAY. read more

Dr Chen and his staff are so great! I have been a patient of theirs for almost 5 years. This review is long overdue. Dr Chen recently repaired a cavity for me. He was very gentle and explained what he was doing throughout the process which helped put me at ease. And the best part was that when I needed to be numbed, it was almost painless. He is a GREAT doctor. Dr Chen's staff is equally as amazing. I recently had a change in my dental insurance and the ladies in the front office were great at helping make it a smooth transition. They have always been good at answering any billing questions that I have and are very proactive. They're so friendly and great with appointment reminders. The hygienists are also wonderful. Anytime that you almost fall asleep in the chair, I think it's a good sign! :) Thank you Dr. Chen and staff for always making my experience a great one! read more

Have been going here for 2.5 years. Dr. Chen and his staff go out of their way to explain the results of your diagnostic tests and what they observe during cleaning. Somehow they manage to be really nice about it, not surly, condescending or making you feel overly guilty for skipping floss. Top notch scheduling and insurance benefits tracking. They will email and text you appointment reminders. They even let me know my employer's policy was changing and what (small) elections I would need to continue to breeze through cleanings without a copayment. read more

After reading many yelp reviews my boyfriend and I decided to try Canyon Dentistry as our new go-to dentist and we are very happy we did. Dr. Chen is a great dentist and his staff are all top-notch!!! Everyone is super friendly and comforting. I haven't been to a dentist in years since moving to the OC area and I was very hesitant to go. But Dr. Chen was so nice and knowledgeable I felt very safe and knew I was in good hands. I also had the best teeth cleaning experience with Linda his dental hygienist. She was so thorough and gentle. Another plus is that Dr. Chen speaks Mandarin. I am considering bringing my mom over to Canyon Dentistry for her future dental needs. I highly recommend Dr. Chen! read more

Dr. Chen and his staff are extremely accommodating and so pleasant to interact with. They are an excellent detail oriented group of people that really make sure my experience is smooth! I usually hate going to the dentist but their service really made all the difference. I had been originally seeing another dentist however switched due to location reasons. I am so glad I did! Dr. Chen filled my cavities back in July and I have noticed no problems whatsoever. In fact, he actually inspired me to take better care of my teeth. I came back today for a 6 mo check up and noticed the same quality of treatment from my first appointment. Sarah (technician) is such a sweetheart and really gets to know me and make me feel less awkward (because how do you really feel that comfortable when someone is digging into your teeth two inches away from you?!). After leaving I feel my teeth are super clean and shiny. Thank you guys! read more

Dr. Chen and his team are fantastic! Already seeing an improvement to the health and appearance of my smile!

My experience at Canyon Dentistry was amazing. I am extremely sensitive to sound and I have severe Hyperacusis and Tinnitus in my left ear. Due to my condition, I have a profound fear of the sound of a dental drill! I was in desperate need of laser treatment for my cavity because laser treatment is so much more quiet than a regular dental drill. I found Dr. Chens office online and set up an appointment. From the first moment I walked in I felt comforted by the staff. Everyone acknowledged my condition and was very professional. Dr. Chen uses the most updated tools and technology in his office. It's truly amazing and is exactly how a dentists office should be. Dr. Chen doesnt just tell you what's wrong. He takes a lot of time to show you what hes talking about visually. The experience was very interactive as the xrays and HD macro pictures of my teeth were instantly displayed on a flat screen tv right there in front of me. Ive never seen my teeth that up-close in my life! The camera used to take them was very impressive. Unlike my last dentist that would just verbally explain everything. Being able to see everything visually is much more comforting and easy to understand. As for the cavity laser treatment itself...Dr. Chen has some serious skills with his laser! He has excellent hand-eye coordination! The macro pictures he was taking and displaying periodically throughout the procedure clearly showed his precision with the laser. How cool is that!? It really was amazing, and i felt at ease to know I was in the hands of such a skilled doctor. You can't even see the filling. Thanks to Dr. Chen and his staff I was able to have my cavity fixed with minimal noise. Which is the most important thing for my condition. I am so happy to have found Dr. Chen's office and I am now a patient for life, and refuse to go anywhere else. Thanks again, -Kam read more

Wow Dr. Chen! The work that you performed on my smile is Awesome! Your skill at creating my wonderful smile is beyond words but I'll try. You took something that I lived with for all of my adult life and have made it a focal point for me when I meet people for the first time or for multiple times. As a RE Broker a smile can provide confidence and a real connection to my clients. Dr. Chen and his staff are "Top Notch"! From the front office managers Megan and Peggy scheduling appointments and performing insurance checks and billing to the back office Dawn in assisting Dr. Chen, you have gathered a perfect team that shows your skill in Implant and Cosmetic dentistry. If anyone would need Implants and/or Cosmetic procedures, Dr Michael Chen should be the Only One on that List to take care of those requirements read more

Quality of care, professionalism, and care for your health are amazing. Their entire team are Very helpful and understanding and Dr.Chen is really cool and extremely knowledgeable and provide the highest standards in dental care. Highly recommend for all your dental care. read more

Fantastic Dentist. This is my third attempt at finding just the right dentist. I moved from Kentucky 2 years ago and all the dentist before Canyon seemed to rush through my cleanings to get to a sales pitch on all the work I could have done. Not Canyon. They cared about me and did not push me into anything. Thanks Canyon Dentistry, Dr. Chen and his friendly staff!!! read more

Stop looking and book your appointment with this doctor. I just moved back to Irvine and picked Canyon Dentistry based on Yelp reviews. I just had my regular cleaning and my experience couldn't have been any better. Everyone here is very professional, knowledgeable and caring. Just excellent!! read more

My husband and I have been with Dr. Chen 20 plus years.....since 1999. We couldn't be more happier. We followed Dr. Chen to his new location in Irvine. The office is awesome! When you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm and cozy. Dr. Chen is just simply amazing! He's professional, perfectionist and shows genuinely cares about his clients. He explains to you the procedure in great detailed with pictures before and after your treatment. And his staff, Sara(Hygienist-retired), Peggy, Megan and Dawn are professional and super friendly. They're always attentive to your questions or concerns. WE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED DR. CHEN!!!!! THIS IS LONG OVERDUE!! read more

I am not a fearful person when it comes to the dentist, but like many people, it is one of my least favorite places to visit. Dr. Chen may actually change that. I was recently referred to him by a friend and from first contact I was surprised and impressed. The receptionist was friendly and accommodating to my hectic travel schedule. When I got to the office I was surprised by how beautiful was, I felt more like I had walked into a spa than the dentist. All of these things were more than I hoped for. I am sure he had other patients that day, but he made me feel like a VIP. He really took the time to educate me about what is going on in my mouth. I could see his passion and that he loves what he does. Thank you Dr. Chen and team! read more

I was first time at Canyon last week and I was very impressed by Dr. Michael Chen. Dr. Chen is not only very friendly but also very thorough and detail. He started my dental exam process by exam oral cancer potential which I never experienced in other dental offices..I was also very impressed by Canyon s record keeping process and state of art equipment. .Through out my exam and cleaning process, Dr. Chen not only kept my X Ray records, but also took matching digital images of all the teeth so records can be easily retrieved for review in the future. Overall my experience with Canyon Dental was very pleasant and it is highly recommended. .. read more

If only I can give this a 10/5!!! Dr. Chen and his team are AMAZINGGGGGGG!!! So nice, helpful and just simply amazing!

I am very happy to find a dentistry nearby my work. Dr. Chen always give me good advice on how to look after my teeth, he also recommended to renew my old bridge since it has been too old to sustain for another decade. However, he did not push me, and he told me it is totally up to me, I like it when I am in charge rather than being upsold. Dr. Chen and his team are very thorough, explaining everything clearly and attentive to keeping me comfortable. I am now a regular customer for routine check up and periodic cleaning. They sure did a wonderful job cleaning my teeth. read more

Dr. Chen and his staff are amazing. Everything is "covid safe" and everyone makes you feel welcome, and relaxed. Dr. Chen is a perfectionist. I will never go to anyone else read more
