I have been a patient of Dr. Chen for over 12 years, and I can confidently say that she and her wonderful staff have made a significant impact on my dental health and overall experience. Despite my rigorous dental regimen, I still encounter dental issues, but having Dr. Chen by my side has made all the difference. Expertise and Care Dr. Chen is incredibly thorough and knowledgeable. She stays current on the latest treatments and technologies, which gives me confidence in the care I receive. One of the things I appreciate most is her willingness to take the time to answer all my questions--something I tend to have a lot of! She addresses my concerns with patience and makes me feel at ease, which is invaluable in a dental setting. Recent Experience I "visit" Dr. Chen at least 3-4x a year. My most recent procedure involved replacing my four front crowns (20 years old) which I had been wanting to do for years. The trauma from the pain associated with the anesthesia from the original dentist had left me hesitant. However, I finally decided to go through with it in May 2025. On the day of the procedure, I was understandably nervous and anxious. But with sweet Luca, their therapy dog, on my lap, I felt a sense of comfort. Carol, Dr. Chen's assistant, held my hand throughout the process, and to my surprise, it was over before I knew it! I felt zero pain--not even a prick. A few visits later, after a trip to the lab, I received my new crowns, and they are absolutely beautiful. I can't believe I waited so long to make this change, and I've received countless compliments on them. Dr. Chen and Carol even showed up on a Friday when they were not in the office to ensure I get my permanent crowns before I left for my trip. Exceptional Staff The entire staff at Dr. Chen's office, including Monica, Diane, Maliah (my dental hygienist), and Monee, are wonderful additions to her team. They are not only professional but also incredibly pleasant, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Every time I walk in, I do so with full confidence that I will be well taken care of. Conclusion In summary, I highly recommend Dr. Chen and her team for anyone seeking dental care. Their expertise, compassion, and commitment to patient comfort are truly exceptional. Thank you, Dr. Chen, for making my dental experiences positive and for giving me a smile I can be proud of! See you soon!!! Ginette and Fynn (too bad you don't do doggy dental) read more

5 star service and great recommendation from a fellow Yelpie!!! Very impressed with their attention to Covid conscious patients. The requested masks to be worn till cleaning and xrays were appreciated. Temp checks were even taken prior to entry into back of clinic.Air filters were in the room and they had the most comfortable chairs ever, which helps when there for a long visit. The 3D animation was incredible and I had never had such a thorough examination / explanation of my teeth .Thank you, Maliha, for going through everything with me.She needed a 10 on a 5 scale for her understanding nature . Pure professionalism !! Dr .Lily Chen was very helpful , courteous and explained all things requested.I had few questions since my dental hygienist went through most of my concerns, and Dr. Chen reiterated. Would highly recommend!! read more

I just switched to Dr. Chen's office because I was unhappy with my last dentist and I loved it! The dental hygienist were extremely nice and walked me through everything they were doing and paid close attention to the things I said I wanted to learn more about. They were very quick and efficient and I didn't have to wait in the chair for Dr. Chen to come, she came almost immediately. She also looked at things in my mouth/my teeth that I haven't had other dentist look at. For example, she checked to see if I had signs of sleep apnea based on my tongue. One of the most important things that made me switch dentist was I felt like my last dentist was always trying to get me to pay for certain procedures that weren't necessary. I even got second opinions because I didn't trust my last dentist. However, with Dr. Chen they gave me things to be cautious about but didn't push that I NEEDED to get it worked on at my first appointment. They suggested I get a mouth guard but said we can see at my next check up if it gets worse and take measures then. I really appreciated this. I would highly suggest Dr. Chen! read more

Most knowledgeable dentist I've ever gone with! She gave me detailed insight on my dental health that I wouldn't have known otherwise (most other dentists are simply not as thorough). The staff was warm and friendly. To my surprise, the whole xray process was smooth and easy (which if any one has ever had new-patient xrays, it's over 20). They had high-tech xraying machines and prf, which I really appreciated. It's a highly coveted dental practice, for good reasons, so be ready to wait months if you're a new patient. read more

Dr. Lily Chen and her wonderful staff make you feel like part of the family. From the minute you walk in the door and are warmly greeted by Donna, you get a first class experience the whole time. Dr. Chen has a great rapport with children and adults. Prompt and conveniently located, it doesn't get much better than Bellaire Family Dental! read more

Lily Chen, DDS, PA - Dr. Chen and her happy (cavity-free!) patients! - General Dentistry Near Me - Bellaire, Texas

Dr. Chen and her hygienists are talented and caring, however her front desk staff leave a lot to be desired. They don't return emails or texts, making scheduling extremely difficult. So much so, that I decided to find another dentist. In this day and age, you can't run an office solely based on phone calls for communication. Although her office reminds you about appointments via text and email, and invite you to text or email them back, they will only respond to a phone call. read more

My first visit with Dr.Chen went very well. For new patients the initial visit is 1.5 hours, so be prepared for a longer first-time meeting with x-rays, teeth/gum examination, and a cleaning. I didn't realize when I made the appointment that it would be that long, so if you have time constraints plan accordingly. Brad was the dental hygienists I saw and he was very friendly and professional. Really did a great job making me feel welcome and relaxed- I don't suffer from any dental anxiety, but I would imagine that he would be a great hygienist to have if you do. His calm and knowledgable manner made me feel like I was in good hands, and he was very gentle during the exam and cleaning. Dr.Chen was also very friendly, and explained the x-Ray results and examined my teeth to make sure everything was a-ok. Like most dentists if you don't have any issues, she was only in there for a few minutes, but I loved her professionalism and how she welcomes me as a new client. The office is neat and clean, and the staff and receptionist are all very friendly. Will be coming here again in 6 months! read more

Overall a great experience. Went in for a regular cleaning and felt like they did a thorough checkup of guns and teeth in addition to a regular clean. Everyone was very kind and polite. Would recommend. read more

My follow up appointment was just as great as my first time at the office. Brad was very courteous and took the time to ask throughout my cleaning whether I was in pain or had any questions/concerns. Dr. Chen was also super friendly and gave me a clean bill of health. This office truly has no judgements (at least, as a patient I felt very safe and peaceful here) read more

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Chen for years. We love her and the entire team. They are thorough and explain things clearly. The staff is patient and not 'judgy' at all. The office has updated technology so your exams and xrays can be done from the chair. It's not hard to get an appointment and once you arrive they get you back quickly - no long wait times in the lobby at this office! read more

Dr. Chen has been my Dentist for more than 7 years now. She is very caring and very experience. She has a good attitude and shows concerns to her patient's well being. I recently had a procedure done and has some concerns post procedure. Dr Chen is available at all times, she answers my concerns, and she follow up almost every day through phone calls or text messages, even during the weekend, she never fails to ask me how I feel. She always made herself available for me that I can contact her anytime if I have any questions. I feel comfortable with her, she knows what she is doing, she is honest and she always explain to me what she is doing. The overall staff in her clinic are pleasant and always make me feel like they care about me. They also are able to work with my schedule and can accommodate me at a short notice. Overall I am very satisfied with the service that they provide. Thank you Dr. Chen and the staff! Elizabeth read more

Dr. Chen, Brad and the rest of the staff are amazing and super friendly. The office is clean and beautiful. Brad does an exceptional job with the cleanings and explaining everything as he's working which I love. I highly recommend this dental office to anyone looking for a new dentist. You won't be disappointed. read more

Dr Chen is amazing. She's great with my kids and always explains everything and makes them feel so comfortable. I give them 3 stars because her front office staff is the least customer service oriented group you will meet. They can be crass and rude at times and have no problem telling you what you are doing wrong. read more

Dr. Magret Lan is the periodontist here...she pays attention to details and does exceptional work. I credit her with salvaging a tooth and bringing me back to health. read more

I am a dentist myself (Endodontist). Dentists are the worst patients one can get. Because I know every details so it is very hard for me to trust any dentist to do dental work on me. (Resulted in no cleaning for 4 years and 5 cavities lol). After moving to Houston, I started to have the chance to work with Dr. Chen professionally. Over the past two years, I could see the dental works that have been done on Dr. Chen's patients. It is strictly by the book and the inputs I heard from her patients are all excellent. Clinical communication between me and Dr. Chen shows how much she cares about her patients. She would text me when she is off during the week or even on weekends about the patients she sends to me. Dr. Chen gained my trust. I have been to her practice twice so far. The first time was for initial check-up and the second is for 4 cavities fillings. The following are the reasons why they got 5 stars. 1. They seat patients on time. No/minimal wait time: This is extremely difficult while running a dental visit. It needs not just the doctor but also the staff's coordination to achieve this. For people that have tight schedule like myself this is a big plus. 2. Office space is extremely clean and up-to-date: Dentists tend to get used to the technique and material he or she is used to. However, as the technology advances each day the doctor must adapt to it to provide the best treatment. Dr. Chen has some latest equipments. She knows the materials well and practices it. 3. Minimal-no pain injection technique: Got two upper buccal infiltration shots today. Didnt feel a thing because she seperated the entire numbing process into 3 steps. First to numb the gum with gel then use Gate-Theory technique for initial injection followed by full injection. I hate needles! (yes I am a dentist but I hate needles!) but I was totally fine! 4. She takes her time: No rushing the treatment. Good dentistry work takes time. I have been referring all my best friends and colleagues to her. I highly recommend her as you family dentist. read more

Great staff, very nice facilities! Brad is the best, took the time to explain things to me as he was going along.

Hygienist was very gentle but very thorough. Took her time to make sure she got my teeth exceptionally clean. Dr. Chen is very detail oriented and took the time to address all my concerns and pointed out any thing that may be an issue down the road. All in all a very pleasant experience. Office had easy parking, is modern and well appointed. read more

I always have anxiety visiting the dentist (and have seen many over the years) but the care, professionalism, gentleness, and warmth of everyone on the staff here always puts me at ease. The entire staff exhibits tremendous professionalism and makes an effort to get to know each patient personally. Finally, the practice has taken every step possible (from procedures to investments in state-of-the-art technology) to make visits as safe as humanly possible throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. I can't say enough good things about this and recommend Dr. Chen to everyone I know. read more

Had a great time with my exam and cleaning with the hygienist Brad, and Dr Chen! The wait time was short, and the office was clean and high tech. My cleaning was very gentle, and Dr. Chen was very informative and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend this practice to my family and friends. read more

Great dentist friendly staff and no fear when you go in. This is the place to get your teeth worked on

Highly recommend. Receptionist is always so nice and friendly, on the phone and in person. Office is clean and well appointed. Hardly any wait time, and I was in and out in 30 minutes for my cleaning. Dr. Chen is friendly and professional. Definitely the best dentist experience I've ever had. read more

Dr Chen is one of the best! We live in Bellaire and my whole family sees her for all of our dentistry needs for the last 20 years. Never a problem. Always a great job! Receptionist is awesome too. Easy to make and keep updated on your appointments. read more

I was absolutely terrified to go to the dentist as I haven't been in years. Brad helped me relax and it was a completely painless visit. Dr. Chen was really nice and informative and I'm just relieved to know where I stand. Will be recommending this office to everyone! read more

I have a family member who is a specialist dentist. The curse of having a doctor/doctors in the family is they trust no one. I personally had very poor experience with dentists myself as well. But I love Dr.Chen! She's friendly, straight to the point, and detail oriented! I've never had a doctor check for my lymph nodes and gum pockets during my appointment for cleaning. I also generally hate getting x-rays done. But her assistant did it very quick and painlessly. read more

I just had my first appointment today at Dr. Chen's clinic and it was a great experience. My previous dentist retired so I had to find someone new. Donna was very helpful in getting my appt set up and helping make sure my insurance was approved. Brad did a great job with my oral exam and teeth cleaning and was very thorough in answering all of my questions. Dr. Chen came by to check and make sure everything looked ok and also helped answer any additional questions I had. Everyone was very courteous and professional throughout the entire process. I am very satisfied with how everything went and intend to keep using Dr. Chen going forward. Highly recommend. read more

Went in for a consultation and cleaning today. Bras was very good he did a great job explaining everything before doing it and discussing his findings. Dr. Chen came in after and gave a full breakdown of my treatment plan. They were both very patient with me and took the time to answer all my questions. read more

Dr. Chen is fantastic. Needed a dentist emergently and she was able to get me in within 24 hours and I wasn't even a patient of hers. She was able to fix my cavity that fell out and gave me compressive care and even was able to get me in for a cleaning with in a few weeks as a new patient. Because of all of these reasons, she is my new dentist and completely trust her with my dental health. read more

This is my 2nd year with Dr Chen & her very friendly staff. First off, I like their location in Bellaire with free & easy parking. Brenda my hygienist is the best Ive ever had for my condition. She makes the xray & cleaning process convenient & comfortable for me, with the special magic rinse, sunglasses, frequent checks, making me feel fresh & super clean afterwards. I cannot wait to see all of them again for my next appointment!! read more

My entire family sees Dr. Chen and have been very pleased with her professionalism and her gentleness. She is also very knowledgeable and takes the time to make sure the patient understands what is going on. I also appreciate the amount of time she spends with each patient, I never feel rushed when I ask her a million and one questions about what's going on with my teeth. I also never feel pressured to try a procedure that may or may not fix a problem, I really appreciate this conservative approach. She is also upfront with any potential problems, she gets to the point and will thoroughly explain the procedure. Dr. Chen's staff is also top-notched, they have been with her for as long as I can remember. They are all very personable and professional. They work well together as a team! If you are looking for a family dental practice that you can trust and continue to visit for years, I highly recommend giving Dr. Chen and her practice a try. read more

Dr Chen and her staff are AMAZING! My daughter first came here when she was three and was excited to return! Parking is easy and building access is a breeze (free parling) we have been coming here for 2 years and have found our FOR LIFE dentist! read more

Clean and comfortable office. Skilled and kind staff. I would and do recommend Dr Chen to friends and family!

I chipped my tooth over spring break. As soon as Dr. Chen was able to open her office I made an appointment. She and her staff have taken great measures to make sure both patient and staff are safe. I felt totally comfortable going to her office today for my appointment. They are doing an excellent job during this corona virus pandemic to keep everyone as safe as possible. Thank you Dr. Chen! read more

Dr. Chen is incredible! As a new resident here in Houston, TX I was referred to her lovely office. I experienced legendary dental care.

I've been going to Dr Chen for over a year now and would not hesitate to recommend her as a dentist. She is very patient and listens to all of my concerns.

The dental hygienist is also fantastic and very gentle. read more
