Once again I had another fantastic Dentist appointment today with Dr. Joe. He is a very honest and passionate Dentist and does fantastic work. Today I went in for a broken crown that was covering an implant I had done 10 years ago. Unfortunately the crown broke and he was able to offer me a great consultation and referral to the best Implant Dentist in the county to have the post removed so he can make a new crown with his great in house technology. By doing this it saves extra cost and time having an outside service do the crown that can often take many weeks. I would recommend Dr Joe Nguyen to anyone looking for professional honest Dentist!! Oh and he is also a great musician!! : ) read more

Based on all the other reviews, I found Dr. Joe. His office is clean, with ample parking in front and behind. Masha and Jennifer were both really friendly and patient. All the dental hygienists I've had were great. Dr. Joe is able to make many kinds of night guards through his office, and he was really excited to show me one that is so durable that a car can drive over it haha. Hoping he does not retire for awhile :D The only thing that is confusing is that there is another dentist with almost the exact same name in Poway. Make sure to read the address very carefully when plugging into GPS! read more

Dr. Joe Nguyen is great. He did an excellent work on my teeth. I am very happy with the outcome. He also has a nice assistance helping him during the entire procedure. Thank you for the best job done. read more

Dr. Joe and his staff have helped me and members of my family for several years. Knowledgeable, patient and kind. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend my dearest friends and loved ones to the group of fine folks. read more

Simply put, this incredible team has fixed my lifelong fear of the dentist with ease. Up until now, past experiences have caused me to dread dental visits of any kind -- whether it was a simple cleaning or a more involved procedure, I hated it all the same. This team operates like none I've ever seen however. With clear communication and care, you're never left wondering what's coming next, and the feeling of "what the heck are they doing in there?" never occurs. They are not afraid to stop and make sure any concerns are answered, and they have easily proven to me that it is possible to go through a dental visit without experiencing pain. At the end of the day, I'm utterly stunned that I'm consciously giving a rave review the same day of a crown procedure, that speaks volumes compared to a simple 5 out of 5. read more

I am so glad I found this place. Very friendly staff, and great/detailed care. I'm so glad I found this place, definitely going to be looking forward to going to the dentist in the future! :) read more

I have been going to Dr. Nguyen for 4 years. He is the best dentist I have been to in my 37 years of living in San Diego. His office keeps up with the latest treatments, he and his staff are all extremely personal. Dr. Nguyen never tries to upsell you with procedures you don't need. Unfortunately, I have had other dentists do this in the past. I highly recommend Dr. Nguyen and his new associate, Dr. Neureuter! read more

I went in for a routine 6-month teeth cleaning. After the cleaning, the dentist checked my teeth and told me everything was good.The next day, my crown cracked and half of it fell off. When I returned to the office, the first thing they tried to do was take x-rays (which they did before the cleaning). When I mentioned that my insurance will not pay for another set of x-rays, then took me to another room and took photos. After the cleaning, the dentist told me it's a fluke and that I need a new crown. How is it that a perfectly fine crown cracks and falls off? read more

The whole team is incredible, especially Dr. Joe, Dr. Troy, and Kailani! Such quick, high quality service. Highly recommend!

Raise your hand if you have trouble finding a good dentist. ‍ Raise your hand if you've had a bad experience with a dentist!. ‍ Well, you're in luck today, because I'm about to refer you to THE BEST DENTIST in town! Dr. Joe Nguyen and his friendly and professional staff took excellent care of my daughter and me! We had our routine check-up and I also had to get 2 fillings replaced (from a previous bad dentist!). The staff scheduled our visits so that there was minimal waiting time. Upon arrival, Dr. Joe and his staff greeted us and quickly took us to our respective rooms. I had my filings done while my daughter had her teeth cleaned, then I had my teeth cleaned. Dr. Joe explained every step as he was working on my fillings. He did a great job and was finished in no time. While I laid back in my seat, I noticed a TV in the ceiling, which was pretty cool. WARNING: There is another dentist named Joe Nguyen in the area. If you walk into the office and it doesn't look like this one, leave! Look up in the ceiling in the waiting room, there are lighted tiles with "fish swimming." If you don't see this, you went to the other Joe Nguyen and you need to leave! Finding a good dentist and dental hygienist is hard, and finding a great one even harder. Dr. Joe and his staff are exceptional! Dr. Joe cares about his patients and it shows in his interactions and conversations with us. Also, his attention to detail does not go unnoticed. I highly recommend this great dental team! read more

See all

1- Double charged for my examine. Billed insurance and charged my credit card! 2- I was told they could not call the denatl insurance and void the charge! 3- He thinks that all patients are a money grab. Fins "anyone" else. read more

Dr Joe and his entire team are AMAZING! Have been coming here for years after trying other area dentists when we moved here and not feeling they were a good fit. I've had various services done including cleanings, fillings, crown work and have always received outstanding care! So GLAD I found Dr Joe & his team. Would never go anywhere else for dental care!! read more

I have been going to Dr. Joe for several Years now after having horrible experiences with dentists prior to him. The main issue I would have is the dentist never being able to get me numb and I would always have to stop them while filling cavities. This caused extreme anxiety for me to visit a dentist and especially if I found out I needed any work done. To this day, I still can't help myself react when I hear the sound of any drill . However, Dr. Joe has been SO incredibly patient and kind each time I have needed a filling at making sure I am comfortable and most importantly not in pain. I also don't even feel it when he applies the numbing medicine either . That was something that actually didn't bother me in the past as I just begged to please give me "extra" To ensure I wouldn't feel any pain during the procedure. So not only do I not feel any pain during fillings but I don't during the numbing process either . I have had 4 or 5 fillings now by Dr. Joe and I've been SO grateful I found someone like him. I also have always had pleasant cleanings by all the hygienists and no issues whatsoever with scheduling or the office staff. Dr. Joe is truly an amazing dentist and I highly recommend him. read more

Dr. Nguyen is the best dentist I've been to! Here's why: 1. He only tells you what you need done ( he is successful enough and unlike other dentists I've been too, other dentists always push me to root canals or fillings) 2. He is always in the office ( you can always greet him ) 3. I have gotten a chance to speak to him on the phone 4. He really cares about every patient 6. He's very helpful 5. He never asked me to write this review (Other dental office promised a gift card or whitening tray but, I wrote this based on my own will and great experience) So if you're looking for a great and genuine dentist then, look no further because Dr. Nguyen is it! read more

Dr Nguyen and his team are amazing. I get exceptional service from them every time and honest treatment. Couldn't be happier.

I had a veneer come off , actually I swallowed it. It was my front tooth, It looked horrible. I was at work and almost in tears when my boss suggested I get ahold of Dr. Joe Nguyen. I left a message on their service and I got a call back before I left work asking if I could make it in today. I was scheduled last minute yet I don't think I waited more then 10 minutes to be seen. Dr. Nguyen and his Asst. were very efficient , and discussed treatment with me. I left with a temporary he made by hand that looked better then the original I lost. I was super impressed. I will be doing all my future dental work with Dr. Joe Nguyen and his staff. Highly recommended. read more

Oh, my gosh! Exactly the dental office I was looking for. I moved here from Point Loma four years ago and continued with my dentist in Point Loma until he retired. I tried one other dentist in Poway who told me I needed ten crowns. This is after just seeing her six months ago, when I only needed two cavities re-filled. I thought it was strange that my teeth had deteriorated so much in just six months. So, I called Dr. Joe's office and luckily, they were accepting new patients. They told me that I didn't need any of my crowns replaced. They took on the process of crowning my two front teeth that Dr. Gorin had started. When I first visited Dr. Joe, I arrived with a horrible temporary crown on my two front teeth, and I brought along the permanent crowns that Dr. Gorin had ordered. The conclusion was that the permanent crowns were good, but not perfect. I was more than willing to pay out of pocket for Dr.Joe to order new permanent crowns. He created a new temporary crown for me which took a lot of time and patience. It was so much better than the temporary crown that Dr. Gorin made. Dr.Joe took the time to polish the crown so that it fell normal. Dr. Joe runs a perfect practice. If you are looking for a dentist for the rest of your life, this is the place to go! read more

I just had another with this outstanding dental office. I had previously been diagnosed with having a small cavity. Not a big deal? It was at the bottom of where an existing crown was. I made my appointment to have those issues resolved which meant removing the old crown, fixing the cavity and then have a new crown installed. These steps were all done on site in one visit and with a new dentist that has joined their team. Dr. Troy has just as good of a chair side manner as Dr Joe only different, you know, in a good way. So besides the usual professional and personal service I always get from the others in the office like Jennifer, Marsha and I swear a new dental assistant today, Elanor. She assisted Dr Troy in todays procedures from start to finish with no issues or oh oh's. You can't go wrong if you need long term, full spectrum dental care and service , or one time service I suppose. read more

This is the dentist you should see. I found Dr. Joe years ago and he has been the best dentist of my life. I wanted to do a full mouth restoration with veneers on all teeth. He talked me out of this, even though he would have made a ton more money. Joe felt it would be unethical to do all my teeth because they are strong and healthy. He had me do 6 months of ortho first so that I would only need to do 12 veneers. The results are in, and I look FANTASTIC. Even though I have a completely different smile, I don't look like a politician or sportscaster. Completely natural. You would have no idea my smile is reconstructed. He is meticulous, thoughtful, and highly skilled. A true artist. This is the dentist I would recommend to my mom. read more

Very impressed with the quality and efficiency of service! I am a new patient of Dr. Nguyen and recently had a crown and 2 fillings taken care of in one appointment. Dr. Nguyen used state of the art tools to create the crown after which he skillfully shaped and adjusted it for the perfect fit. He also expertly completed 2 fillings, clearing the decay as part of the process. I've had crowns and fillings before, sometimes taking weeks to get adjusted to the changes, but one day later, I can say everything feels fine. read more

Joe and his team are just fantastic!!! They're great at dental care and even better at customer service! I've never felt more supported and cared for at a dental office. I moved further away but I just keep going back because I love them. read more

Dr. Nguyen and his staff exceeded my expectations by fixing my broken tooth and providing me with a crown the same day. I had a trip coming up and needed help; the doctor and his staff put me at ease and did an exemplary job fixing the problem. They are an example of what exceptional customer service should be, and I give them the highest recommendation. I am truly grateful. . read more

This Dentist is awesome. Will tell you what is being done to your teeth and checks on you through out the appointment. Friendly, professional with his patients and staff. read more

Dr Joe and his team deserve to be named to the Dentist Hall of Fame as best Dentist team to ever live! Love this place and I am no longer scared of the Dentist! I am coming here regularly and am starting to really dive into caring for my teeth on another level! Seriously best THE Dentist!!! read more

He is very caring and explaining what he is doing. His work is impeccable. Absolutely great.

Super disappointed. Called to make an appointment and verified through our insurance that we were in-network. Arrived this morning to the appointment and apparently as of today they are no longer in-network with our insurance. They have been open for the past 2 hours so not sure why we couldn't have received a call prior to me driving down there. Happy to go receive dental care elsewhere with professionalism and courtesy. read more

I would give a six if I could. Excellent dentist and great support staff. This dental office has a deep understanding of the needs of their patients. On my very first appointment they stayed late to take care of a cracked tooth. The entire team is very friendly. Rather than lectures they make constructive suggestions. Pricing was very fair and treatment was pragmatic. Highly recommend. read more

Dr. Nguyen and his staff are so wonderful and welcoming! I had to do some work in their suite and felt like I have been working with them for years. Kind of wish I lived closer because I would be switching dentists right now! read more

I just got home after my appointment, and I need to write this review before I forget! I had the best experience today, and am very happy I found Dr. Nguyen on Yelp. At first, I was hesitant to visit the dentist due to COVID, but when I called the staff to schedule, they patiently explained all the protocol they're going through to ensure staff and patients are safe. I waited in the car, my temperature was taken before my appointment and everyone was wearing adequate PPE. They also have these special vacuum/vent things during cleaning to gather any particles. Dr. Nguyen was very thorough, and my hygienist Marian was legitimately the best hygienist I've ever had! She was so thorough, and gentle. When I left, my teeth felt cleaner than they've ever felt leaving an appointment. I highly recommend this office, and I'm so glad I found them. If you have any hesitations to visit during COVID, call them and I'm sure they'll put you at ease! read more

All staff at this office are so warm and welcoming. They don't rush you through your visit and are genuinely trying to keep you looped in on findings throughout your visit. A big fear I have when going to dental offices is when they try to sell you unnecessary dental care and/or when they over charge you and your insurance. Not here! Everyone from the lovely front desk personnel, Dental Hygienist, to Dr. Joe were so happy to see me and never tried to get me to over pay or get services I did not need. I went back the next day to take care of some fillings that were incorrectly filled at a different dental office, and I was treated with the same kindness and thorough care. I really like how they take photos of the areas that need care and the dental hygienist and Dr. Joe will show you and take time to teach you what a cavity looks like or what inconsistencies they find. I'm really happy to be a patient with Dr. Joe's dental office and would recommend anyone looking for genuine, honest care to come here. You will not be disappointed. read more

I had a great experience. I have been to many dentists since moving to SD and most either recommended unnecessary treatment or were not transparent with their billing. Dr. Nguyen and his staff were friendly, attentive and most important, trustworthy. Not only is Dr. Nguyen conservative with his treatment plan, but he is also cognizant of recommending feasible solutions. Finally, I think I have found THE dentist!!! read more

Professionalism, quality, value, honest, well explanation, and patient satisfaction are all characterized for Dr. Joe N.T. Nguyen's team. Last week I had a wonderful time with Rachel, an excellent, thorough hygienist. Rachel, thank you so much. read more

I really appreciate having Dr Nguyen as my dentist. He is professional,hard working and thoughtful . I noticed he goes out of his way to listen and help me whenever I have a problem with my teeth. I strongly recommend Dr. Nguyen! Sincerely, Jenny Oberhand read more

My teeth are happy Dr. Joe and team take care of them. Dr. Joe is a perfectionist and I think he has a bit of engineer in him, making his own crowns on the spot with his milling machine. Nice to not have to wait for a lab to make a crown and send it to the dentist on another day. read more

Very pleased with this office. Dr Nguyen explained everything and was very thorough. I didn't have any procedures done, but he explained every step of his thought process. I will recommend him to others. read more

Phenomenal knowledgeable dentist with exceptional staff. He was able to fit me in to his busy schedule accurately diagnose a problem with tooth sensitivity that was plaguing me for the past 5 months after work done by a different dentist, resolved problem within a day, poof, no more sensitivity. I could eat without pain! Thank you Dr.Joe + staff! read more

Dr. Nguyen is by far the best dentist I have ever seen. Normally I would rather be any place other than the dentist but he and his staff made the entire experience painless. Literally painless! With covid I hadn't been in a while and I was worried about my cleaning but Lexi was fantastic!! I then saw Dr. Nguyen for a filling that had broken and he fixed it with ease. He is an artist in the dental world. I originally found Dr. Nguyen when my son chipped his front tooth and he fit us in immediately. He bonded the tooth and you would never know there was ever a chip. We now see him for ALL our dental needs. Thank you to the entire staff for their professionalism and expertise! read more

I've been to a lot of dentists in my lifetime and after many mediocre and below average experiences I think the search have finally come to an end with Dr. Joe. Patient, professional, caring, honest, the list goes on. Can't say enough good things about him and the staff. Highly highly recommend. read more
