I've just got my first dental implants from Dr. Nguyen. Two of my teeth that had gone root canal a long time ago failed. It was quite daunting to get teeth extracted and have a dental implant surgery, but everything went very smoothly. On every step, Dr. Nguyen provided a clear explanation on every step and I had a smooth recovery after tooth extraction and implant surgery. read more

I found Dr. Nguyen through a mutual friend after I could not reach the office that my general dentist referred me to. After consulting, he ensured that the best route was taken for my oral health.

Dr. Nguyen was extremely competent and clear in his explanation of all that would happen before extracting my tooth and in preparation for a crown. I was amazed to not feel any pain during my visits or upon my return home after the procedure. The Office staff were kind and helpful with quick follow-up.

DR. MICHAEL NGUYEN FIVE STARS ***** AND A BIG THANK YOU! I just finished my periodontal treatment with Dr. Michael Nguyen and I am thankful to write this review. My general dentist gave me a referral to Dr. Nguyen for a case that, I believe, more complicated than usual. Part of it was because of my busy schedule, the other part was due to my lack of knowledge in dentistry. Since my relationship with my teeth is very special and is a private matter, I will not go into details about the treatment. However, I strongly recommend Dr. Nguyen to other patients who need periodontics and dental implant, for the reasons discussed below: I like Dr. Michael Nguyen both at a personal and professional levels. 1) Personally, I find Dr. Nguyen to be very warm, approachable, and truly caring for the well-being of his patients. I am happy to know him. Between my general dentist and Dr. Michael Nguyen, I think I am all set for any help and advice in dentistry. It is such a great feeling to know a doctor who will take care of patients like a family member. 2) Professionally, Dr. Nguyen is very knowledgeable and talented with his treatment. I strongly believe that it takes natural talent to do an excellent job, not just a good job, which exceeds patient's expectation - like the treatment that Dr. Nguyen has provided for my case. I strongly recommend Dr. Michael Nguyen to anyone who needs periodontics and dental implant. 3) His lab is equipped with new and modern equipment that enabled Dr. Nguyen to perform complex procedures for my treatment. I also learned a lot from his explanation about the procedures and treatments that I underwent. I strongly suggest that patients have a conversation and learn from Dr. Nguyen to fully appreciate his expertise. 4) I would also like to extend my thanks to Dr. Nguyen's excellent staff, including Olivia, Sasha, and the rest of the staff. The friendly and professional staff contributes significantly to the whole operation. I cannot say enough great things about them. 5) Last but not least, please check out the photos of roses that I took over several visits to Dr. Michael Nguyen's lab. These are the roses at the front yard of his lab. The interiors of his lab are also beautiful and elegant, but I did not have a chance to take photos. Again, many thanks to Dr. Michael Nguyen and the whole staff! If you have any questions, I would recommend that you give his lab a call. You will be glad you did! FIVE STARS ***** AND A BIG THANK YOU! read more

I was referred to Dr. Michael Nguyen by Dr. Keivan Zoufan(Endodontist). I want to say Dr.Nguyen had did surgery for me and it went really well. The discomfort i had in the area of my lower molars for a very long time was finally take care of. Shasha and Olivia made the process comfortable and easy as possible. They had me come in for follow-ups even after my surgery to make my healing process was going well. He also called me to see how i was doing, which really meant a lot to me. If you are looking for a great periodontist he is the doctor to go to. Thank you again Shasha, Olivia, Dr. Nguyen for such great customer service and care. -Tahmina Akhavein read more

Dr. Nguyen and his team are absolutely Grade A. I initially made an appointment for a consultation regarding my gum recession. I had actually been putting it off, because I had already had a procedure for this exact problem about 10 years ago with a different doctor and it was truly terrible - mismanaged pain levels, terrible wound on the roof of my mouth from where the doctor took tissue to mend receeding gums, etc. So, I was apprehensive when I showed up for my consultation. Dr. Nguyen and his staff put me at ease immediately. Dr. Nguyen was extremely thorough in his examination and assessment. He carefully explained what needed to be done, and even (to my joy!) described how the procedure could be done without creating a gaping wound on the roof of the mouth. To anyone who has had a "Traditional" gum grafting, you know what I am talking about. Dr. Nguyen's skill, professional calm, and obvious experience were all part of creating a positive outcome for me as the patient. My procedure went as smoothly as possible, and a speedy recovery was aided by Dr. Nguyen's good advice and skillful RX application. Thank you, Dr. Nguyen and staff, for guiding me through this procedure with such skill. You are the best! read more

I was referred to Dr. Nguyen to perform a crown extension procedure. His office was able to get me an appointment the same week I needed the consultation on. Dr. Nguyen is extremely professional and his facility is very state of the art. The procedure itself was very smooth and he checked in with me for the next few weeks to ensure that I was recovering well. I'm hoping I do not need another dental surgery again in future but if I do, his office will be the first on my list. read more

I am writing this review on behalf of my mother-in-law. She had LANAP Laser Treatment and a tooth implant done by Dr. Nguyen. Overall, we were very pleased with his thorough and professional work. His office was extremely clean and new with the state of the art dental equipment. My 64 year old mother-in-law mentioned her teeth feeling weak a few months ago. For decades, she did not see the dentist to get her teeth cleaned twice a year as normally recommended due to a lack of insurance and her busy work schedule at a nail salon. Now that she has finally retired, my husband and I encouraged her to get comprehensive check-up. After much research, we decided to visit Dr. Nguyen's office. He examined her teeth and explained that she had periodontal disease. He suggested treatments and explained our next steps. Dr. Nguyen was very informative and gave us a wealth of information about the LANAP Laser Treatment and the time frame for the tooth implant. He was very personable and knowledgeable. His pricing was reasonable as well. We HIGHLY recommend Dr. Nguyen for your dental needs! read more

Dr. Nguyen extracted my upper molar tooth 14 on June 11, 2021. At my request, I received only Nitrous Oxide gas (calming) and Novocaine injection (blocks pain) so I was awake during the procedure, and did not experience any pain. Dr. Nguyen also placed small bits of donor bone in the tooth socket to speed the growth of bone socket to get ready for an implant later. Dr. Nguyen was gentle and careful during the entire procedure. My recovery was as expected and without any complications or sinus infection. I was very thankful because the roots of my back molars are very close to my sinuses. I believe I did so well because Dr. Nguyen was very careful and took his time to do an excellent job. He is also obviously very experienced in this procedure. Dr. Nguyen also has a very pleasing personality which always helps. read more

I went to a local Dentist here in Monterey for an exam. It turned out that my upper row of teeth needed to be extracted. She told me that removable dentures were the best I could get, due to bone loss. I asked if there was a better package out there. She quickly recommended Dr. Nguyen in Sunnyvale. She gave me his info and mentioned it will be worth the commute. I contacted Dr. Nguyen and made an appointment for evaluation. I was welcomed by a kind receptionist named Sasha. After evaluation Dr. Nguyen explained his plan that involved the extraction of a lower tooth as well. Three steps and four to six month wait time for permanent implants after extractions. Allowing my gums to completely heal. The next step was to see his cosmetic Dentist in Morgan Hill. Dr. Mario Marroquin. Dr. Marroquin was a pleasure to meet and he explained in great detail the process in fitting the temporary dentures. Next step was the extraction surgery. The surgery went perfectly. Dr. Nguyen's wife went into labor during the surgery with his first child. Congratulations!!! He was dialed in to my surgery and The post op pain was minimal. Dr. Morraquin was there reading my teeth as they came out to make final adjustments. Perfect fit. The next step was to have laser gum surgery and extract the lower tooth. The Drs. got together and were forming a plan to make it as comfortable as possible for me after the surgery. They came up with a perfect plan that included a three way parlay between three Doctors. On the day of the surgery I was to go to Dr. Morraquin's office in Morgan hill. Dr. Morraquin measured my bite and we moved on to Dr. Nguyen's office in Sunnyvale.The surgery was seamless. On our way back to Monterey we stopped at Dr. Morraquin's office again. My extracted tooth was there to be installed as temporary implant. WOW!! Others leave their patients with empties during the healing process. Bravo!! After post op review Dr. Nguyen gave me a complete teeth cleaning. It was by far the best ever. Restoring my lower teeth to pearly whites. No pain involved. Others have assistants do this type of work. In short Dr. Nguyen surrounds himself with the best office assistants and the best specialists in other fields of Dentistry. Changing lives one healthy smile at a time. This time it was My Life ad My Healthy Smile. Forever grateful, Richard read more

I want to thank Dr. Nguyen and his staff for being so patient with me. I was constantly late for my appts as I live in Gilroy and they were very understanding. He explained the procedure I asked questions etc. My procedure went smoothly and pain free. His staff is very nice and caring. I would definitely recommend Dr. Ngyuen. read more

Dr. Nguyen and his staff are outstanding. As a physician, I have high standards for my own medical and dental care and am very satisfied with the dedicated, caring, professional care I've received from him and his staff. Highly recommended! read more

I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Nguyen's office for a consultation regarding a gum recession problem. It got to a point where it started to become painful to eat, brush my teeth, or even smile. I found Dr. Nguyen through my insurance network and was impressed by how quickly I received a response after submitting an inquiry on his website. From the get-go Dr. Nguyen and his staff were friendly, welcoming, caring, and professional. The initial consultation was very thorough and Dr. Nguyen was great at explaining his observations, concerns, and game plan for a gum graft. The procedure was done without a hitch and the graft was thankfully successful. I really appreciated all of the follow-up appointments and clear instructions throughout the healing process. Great experience all around with Dr. Nguyen and his staff! I'd recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat! read more

Dr Nguyen did a tooth extraction and an implant for me. The whole procedure took some time mostly because I wanted to let the bone heal after the extraction. Dr Nguyen is very thorough and also very good at what he does. All of the procedures caused very little pain even though they were done with local anesthesia. The post-op instructions were clear and he was available if needed (which I did not). He followed up on all the procedures to double check his work. I highly recommend him for tooth extraction and implants. read more

We had a very good experience with Dr. Nguyen when he did our child's gum surgery. He has an excellent bedside manner, does a great job explaining the procedure and is VERY good handling children. Overall, super efficient. The procedure went well and healing was rapid. AM glad we chose him. thank you! read more

Professional Dr & office staff, responsive and proactive via email with questions after and before the procedure. I came in for work to complement Invasalign treatments and highly recommend Dr. Nguyen to any other folks in the same boat. read more

First off Thank you! I had an incident that left me needing an implant. Dr Nguyen came to office on his day off, unbelievable, and he thoroughly went over the implantation processes which really help calm my nerves. His talent is impeccable. He called post procedure to ensure I was ok, which took me by surprise cause no surgeon has ever taken time to call their patient. I had mild pain after procedure and took one ibuprofen. Next day, no pain, I even prep and took a day off work but that wasn't even necessary. I'm lucky to have been under the care of Dr Michael Nguyen and would highly recommend him. He is supper talented, professional, and most importantly he has a caring heart which speaks volumes cause he will perform his best work for his patients. read more

Recently had a tooth implant Dr Nguyen did an awesome job. Doctor and his friendly staff had made my experience so efficient and painless . This place is very clean which is a big plus for me. I would definitely recommend his practice to my friends and family. I found his office through YELP. Excellent service read more

Dr. Michael Nguyen is dedicated to his craft. Beyond his talent, he is professional and personable. I recently had a ridge augmentation done on the #8 tooth. It's part one of a multi series treatment plan. No pain, but with minor soreness. Pleasant experience so far. Will update with pictures once the treatment is complete. read more

Dr Nguyen solved all my gum problems! He did a remarkable job! Highly recommended, especially if you are considering laser dental surgery!

I found Michael 3 years ago after doing quite some research online. At that time I had been suffering gum infection for over a year. After 4 root canals and a gum surgery nothing changed, tried 3 different dentists and specialists, with gum bone damaged even. It was Michael who fixed it all. It was lengthy treatment though because of all the damages. Michael first did thorough exam and gave me a thorough review of the situation. He didn't jump to conclusion immediately but had a phased treatment plan which eventually got me where we wanted get to. Michael is a very professional guy and has excellent customer-first attitude so I felt comfortable seeing him every time. Later I had my girlfriend seeing him as well, got 4 wisdom teeth extracted. By now I have been seeing him for about 3 years now I don't think I'll switch to another dentist as long as I live in Bay Area. read more

Fantastic doctor and amazing staff. From my first visit, I felt like Dr. Nguyen took the time to get to know me, my goals, expectations, and concerns. I felt like I'd known the office for years after leaving on my first visit. Dr. Nguyen explained the procedures thoroughly, spoke with me about key issues, and performed the procedures expertly and without issue. I felt absolutely great considering I had just had surgery in my mouth - well enough to head back to work the next day - and I think that's a testament to the work Dr. Nguyen puts into his craft. An absolutely wonderful ongoing experience with the office and I highly recommend Dr. Nguyen and Bay Periodontics if you're looking for high quality care and an awesome team. read more

I met Dr. Nguyen at another dental office where he completed the dental implant for me back in 2013. Over Memorial Day in 2017, the post broke (completed by different dental specialist in 2015). After a week of trying to figure out how to get this fixed, I ended up back with Dr. Nguyen because I needed to get the gum area surgically opened up and replaced with a new screw so my current dental provider could place a new post on top. Dr. Nguyen has been wonderful and really appreciate how he explains whatever he is doing and why as well as answering any questions. I even learned how to floss properly (a particular way for dental implants), which my other dental provider forgot to explain. Highly recommend Dr. Nguyen and will be back for my followup in 2018 :) read more

Dr. Nguyen is a phenomenal periodontist. I recently needed an implant surgery and was absolutely terrified of the procedure. Granted, I'm not the best dental patient; I require gas to semi-sedate me because I get so jumpy. Turned out, I was worried about nothing. It was a piece of cake procedure thanks to Dr. Nguyen. It took less time and was less painful after than the crown I had done the week before. In fact, the only soreness I did have after was from the Novocaine injection site, which was really nothing. I highly suggest him to anyone and will greatly miss him working in Salinas. Thanks for everything Dr. Nguyen! read more

I recently came in for my wisdom teeth extraction. I had one consultation before the surgery and three follow up checkups after. Throughout this entire process, Dr. Nguyen and his team were extremely friendly, patient and helpful, ensuring I was comfortable and informed at all times. After the surgery, I felt little to no pain and there was no swelling until the second day, but the medicine Dr. Nguyen prescribed helped immensely. The checkups also helped make sure I was recovering properly. Overall, this was an extremely pleasant experience (as pleasant as wisdom teeth extraction can get). read more

Dr. Nguyen and his team are absolutely wonderful. I came in for some implants. It was relatively painless. Dr. Nguyen and his staff put me at ease immediately and was extremely thorough in his examination and assessment. He carefully explained what needed to be done step by step. My procedure went as smooth as possible, and a speedy recovery was aided by Dr. Nguyen's good advice and skillful RX application. Thank you, Dr. Nguyen and staff, for guiding me through this procedure with such skill. You are the best! I would definitely recommend Dr. Nguyen to anybody who needs dental implants done. read more

My husband and I were both treated by Dr Michael Nguyen. My husband (also Michael) had lost teeth from gum disease. He was limited to many types of food, and lost too much weight. We decided that Dental Implants were the best choice. Since the procedure, he can eat, chew and smile, like never before. I also went to Dr Nguyen after I fell the year before, and broke my front tooth. The previous dentist, had put in a crown that was not fitted properly. I could not use the tooth AT ALL In fact all around the tooth it was infected from all the irritation for months. When I returned to that dentist, they insisted on pulling the tooth. I changed dentists, and was seen by Dr Nguyen for a consultation. With some research, X-Rays etc. He was able to save my tooth, and adjust the crown to fit. The irritation was gone, I can bite into an apple now! My husband and I recommend Dr Michael Nguyen for outstanding dental care. Mr and Mrs Iacovazzi San Jose, California read more

I came here to get 4 wisdom teeth pulled out by Dr.Nguyen and it went excellent! I felt absolutely no pain and the procedure went great. There was little to no pain and swelling for me after the teeth removal. The staff here helped make this procedure feel comfortable and at ease. I highly recommend to anyone! read more

No one ever wants to get a dental implant but Dr. Nguyen is very educated and makes you feel completely comfortable with the procedure. He is very friendly and staff members are great as well. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a great dentist! read more

Dr. Nguyen is very good at what he does. I got veneers and LOVE them. I spent a lot of time contemplating them before paying for them. But the Doc did not force ANYTHING on me. He kindly asked about everything I wanted done. Should me some examples. I am so happy with the choice I made. read more

Dr. Nguyen and the team were exceptional from start to finish of my recent crown-lengthening procedure. A super group of people. First, their patient-centric approach of proactive communications and care was both refreshing and helpful. I always knew the next step, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions. Second, they did an awesome job of coordinating care and communicating status with my regular dentist. Third, the dental surgery was smooth and the aftercare exceeded my expectations. Dr. Nguyen gave me a call later in the day following my procedure to check in, address any questions and ensure I was doing as expected. Lastly, we gave the team feedback on improving two process steps for the convenience of the patient's caregiver (ie. getting meds ahead of time, preparing for aftercare, etc.). They were receptive and applied the suggestions to improve the experience of the patient and whomever is helping them with aftercare. I am happy to fully recommend Dr. Nguyen and the team at Bay Periodontics. I certainly will return for any needed work and will recommend to my family and friends. Bob Dimicco read more

When it rains, it pours! That's how this story started. We found out that our mom is terminally ill 2 weeks ago and then I had my root canal broken that caused an infection. I can't even say how thankful I am to Dr. Nguyen and all the staff. They took my case and ran with it. They adjusted their schedule just to fit me in since we have a lot going on already. They are excellent! Amazing! And I am one grateful patient! read more

I had hesitation with regards to my teeth extraction surgery because of both imagined fear of pain and anxiety associated with unclear risks and complications with the tricky tooth and what could go into the surgery. I went to Dr. Nguyen and he clarified everything for me in a very professional manner with great patience since I had asked many questions. I took Dr. Nguyen's suggestion and chose the IV sedation for my extraction surgery of both the upper and lower canines. IV sedation greatly relieved my stress and there was no pain felt the whole process of the surgery. I did not even feel the need to take any pain- killers during the recovery days following my surgery. I am very grateful for Dr. Nguyen and the great staff who are absolutely helpful, caring, and professional. read more

I strongly recommended Dr. Nguyen!! I had him for my wisdom teeth extraction, and the experience there was great! The workers are nice, and the procedure was very thorough in explaining what needs to be done thanks to Dr. Nguyen. read more

I am so thankful I was referred to Dr. Nguyen for an extraction and an implant. He clearly explained the options, his recommendations, and what to expect.
