My family has been under the care of doctor Nguyen over 10 years now. We have received great and timely treatment every time we go to see him. read more

My daughter and I were searching for a dental office that took Molina and could fulfill all her dental needs from cleaning/maintenance to the long term care of braces. We decided on Premier Dental after the reading the great 5-star reviews on Yelp! This was a great recommendation! Rosie, the front office receptionist, was the friendliest and very helpful in checking her insurance/paperwork/scheduling. Daniella, the dental assistant was supportive and very thorough in explaining any procedures. Lastly, and MOST IMPORTANT, is Dr. Nguyen! Great personality combined with professionalism. He knows his dentistry! All-around, great dental office! read more

I had an amazing experience with this dental office with both the staff and dentist .

This office treated my so nice. This staff is great. You will really like this office and Dentist. I really recommend this office for all your needs. read more

I have been going here for years. Dr. Jonathan Nguyen is one of the best. Before coming here I have been told that I had to do this and that procedures but only to find out that it wasn't necessary. I enjoy coming here and that's saying a lot because i hate going to the dentist. Dr. Nguyen is honest and explain everything he does plus he makes me feels comfortable whenever I am here. read more

If you have Dentical / Medical Dental, this is the last dental office you want to use. When I called, Rosie did not ask for my medical number, as dental offices usually do. She immediately discouraged me, asking me why I left the other dentist and if I realized that medical hardly pays anything related to crowns. She then went on to ask what teeth numbers I had previously been approved for, who was the last dentist I went to, etc., etc. She told me she was the office manager, but I found it hard to believe. It was not only a matter of what Rosie said but how she said it. She talked to me as though I was a child. When I did not hear from her, I called, and she told me they were not interested read more

Wow! Just finished getting a root canal done at Dr. Nguyen's office and they did a fantastic job! I'm so happy with the results and that I was able to get my tooth taken care of in such a reasonable amount of time even with COVID going on. For people concerned about safety, thier office takes your temperature, all patients wear a mask to appointment, all staff wear PPE, sanitize the seats and everything and really make you feel safe. Dr. Nguyen is very good at his craft and everyone there is very personable and kind. I have had a lot of dental work done and know a good dentist when I see one. I would definetly recommend them to anyone needing dental treatment/care - you won't be disappointed. read more

How can a dentist be TOO good??OMG!!! Dr. Nguyen is the bees knees!!! He IS TOO good!! I've been coming to him for years, and my daughter since she was 5. She's 9 now, and had 5 cavities (even though we don't have any sugar in the house!!), and I wanted her fillings to be a painful reminder to brush. But no!!! Dr Nguyen did it SO pain-free, she was smiling after 2 separate days of fillings. Dr Nguyen is actually "too good"!!!!! I wished I had asked him to make my daughter's numbing needle hurt just a little bit!!! He is the BEST -- especially for anyone with a fear of dentists. The BEST. And he accepts medical!!!! Don't wait to pay attention to your teeth. You'll be glad you did. read more

Ok so real talk! The staff is super friendly and the Dentist let me tell you first off we had a real conversation and not just about teeth. He came up with no gain no pain instead of no pain no gain and it made our morning laugh!! But ok seriously I went for my deep cleaning like three months ago and amazing but today I had three cavities to fill and I'm soooooo used to having my whole mouth numbed to the point your face feels like a hippo ! Than usually fillings I'm their over an hour and so much drilling but not this Dentist he has skills! First he is gentle second the technology he has in his office made my filling less than 40 min!!! And my mouth is good to go like I can eat!! My new fave dentist and I'm definitely coming back!!! Oh and super clean which I love love love !!!! read more

After a lifetime of horrible dentistry experience, my teeth have found a home at Premier Dental. I found them through yelp and decided to book an appointment. I can tell that it is the doctors passion to make patients love their smile and he loves what he does. I came in for a cleaning, fill, and a new crown as mine has been broken for years. I was checked in and entered into the back in a timely manner, the staff is super nice and welcoming, and most of all the doctor does an AMAZING JOB!! Any questions/concerns I had were always addressed. I am so in love with my results and most of all my smile which is something I haven't said in some years. I will forever recommend and be a patient at this dentistry. read more

Let me first say that although Dr. Nguyen was out of my insurance network and I am in no position to take on dental bills, I took my daughter and myself to him anyways purely based on Google and Yelp reviews. I believe the office operates a few days out of the week and select Saturdays. I had an soul shaking type of toothache that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy and he was able to see me the same day. I also was on a two hour timer since I had month old baby at the time. I needed a root canal and he knocked out a couple other filings in just enough time to get home and feed my baby (I drove up from Otay Mesa). I especially like Dr. Nguyen for a few reasons. I didn't feel he was money hungry. He tried to save me from getting a root canal and then because I had double insurance, he let me know that he would bill in a way that would save me. Another thing that stood out was feeling no pain when he numbed my gums. I hate needles and I seriously didn't feel a thing! The last thing I really liked was that he offered me a solution to a problem I didn't even speak to him about. I have this yellow front tooth and it's so embarrassing. To have straight teeth, never had braces, and one yellow tooth because of a past procedure done by Navy dental... it sucks. I've always wanted to get it fixed, but every dentist before Dr. Nguyen only suggest veneers. Of course veneers cost more and then dentists will only do them in pairs, meaning two teeth versus just the one that I need fixed. Staff - Super sweet and very professional. They answered all of my questions and made sure we were comfortable. Facility - This isn't a fancy dentist office and the parking lot is tight, but it's clean and that's all that matters. Kid Friendly - My 5 year old daughter went in and talked up a storm. I almost felt bad for the dental assistant, but she is a mom herself and totally entertained my munchkin. My daughter had a loose tooth pulled and of course she cried, but Dr. Nguyen numbed her effortlessly and all she really felt was pressure. My baby girl cries if she sees a fly so it's expected. Anyways, he was quick and had her smiling again in no time by giving her a little treasure chest to place her tooth in for the tooth fairy. I will be sticking with Dr. Nguyen as long as I am in San Diego. read more

My Wife had a fear for dentists since last dentist appointment the dentist she went with had hurt her badly and had very bad fear to visit a new dentist and it was hard to convince her to go to a see any dentist ever again but her first visit with John at Premier Dental was a great experience for her and seeing her come out with a big smile on her face and regain confidence and trust in a dentist and his staff which they where all amazing, Thank You John and Rosie and everyone in Premier Dental. read more

Dr. Jon & his staff are the best (and nicest) Dental team I have had in my life. Can't say enough good things about them. read more

I owe Jon many thanks for my beautiful and confident smile that I enjoy now. Actually, I always had beautiful and wide smile but he made it better ^^ Ever since I was young, I had to spend thousands of dollars on my teeth because I have terribly weak bones and on top of that my love for sweets. My mom lectured me so many times after dentists told me I had another cavity, have to get another endo n crowns done, and many toothaches I had suffer becuz I feel so guilty I had to open my hands to my parents. Dentists are not cheap especially if your parents pay out of pocket with poor insurance coverage! I wasn't really into having perfect teeth when I was in school busy studying and trying to get my doctorate degree. But once I achieved my goal, I realized almost everyone around me wore braces since young. My teeth were pretty straight already, but my two front teeth were starting to grow inward shaped V. It didn't bother me before but as I grew older it got worse and started to bother me. When it comes to cosmetic procedures, it's important who will u give ur full trust. After debating months and months, I decided to go with Jon. He gave me a good rate and word of mouths were excellent. And I'm so glad I choose Jon! Also, I was worried that if I start wearing braces, I be eating soups everyday. But nope! I ate steaks and hard candies just fine lol- I broke few brackets but Jon always replaced it ^^ As a health care professional, it's sad that many are greed for money and always offer more unnecessary services and high charges from their patients, but Jon does not do that- he may not offer Apple TV with softest leather chair with free drinks at the waiting area, but those fancy things don't matter when your dentist care about health of your mouth first. Even though I have to drive 45minutes every time for my appointments and there are many prestigious dentists around my area, I will never change to another dentist. Thank you Jon and his wonderful assistance for my beautiful and healthy smile! read more

Went to Premier Dental at the office located in Chula Vista on Vance Street. The staff were amazing everyone was so friendly and caring from the time I walked in and out. Dr. Nguyen explained everything so clearly and he was so nice and patient. Again a shout-out to his staff the receptionist and the young lady that did my X-rays. I Prayed GOD would lead me to a dentist that I would be comfortable with and I believe he did. read more

If I could give 100 stars I would. I have anxiety like many going to the dentist and its been awhile since I've gone. I was referred to this dentist by my best friend Geena who said they are amazing. Well she is absolutely right. I felt the most comfortable I have ever felt at a dentist office, felt like I knew them for years. I have found my new forever dentist. The entire staff is amazing. Im so happy to be their new patient and look forward to every time I sit in the chair there. This is the dentist to go to. read more

I was a little skeptical on coming here because of its location and it's so hard to find a good dentist nowadays but I'm glad that I made an appointment and met with the Dr. He was very informative with my treatment plan, nothing too crazy just a few fillings and recommended I get a crown. He was gentle with my cleaning and fillings, and the numbing does not hurt at all. I highly recommend him he's very knowledge with lots of experience! read more

I have found my family dentist! I hate to admit that it has been years since I have been to the dentist. His staff is friendly and did a great job with my son. I really wished I would have found Dr. Jonathan years ago. I am going to make sure Dr. Jonathan is an available dentist during open enrollment. I am so glad to have finally found a denitst I like, Diana his assistant is great too and lets not forget Daniela at the front desk. My son and I will be back in 6 months for a cleaning. If you need a new dentist and have anxiety like myself with any dental work go ahead and see them you will not regret it. read more

Dr Nguyen and his staff were great! I visited for the first time a couple weeks ago. Dr Nguyen and his assistant explained everything to my very thoroughly (with models, x-rays, and written cards), answering my questions. And they were very patient with me and my concerns -- before knowing I had the concerns based on a dental visit long ago that still causes me some trepidation. Very understanding! I'll be returning for follow-up care. ps - Loved the state-of-the-art equipment, and extra care offered for eyes with the bright lights. read more

I came here for a cleaning and checkup after years of not having insurance, the dentist here Dr. Nguyen is super sweet and was patient with all of my questions. Ended up getting a root canal, crown and cleaning over the last few weeks all with little to no pain!! Rosie is great and makes it easy to get an appointment. The dental assistants are all amazing as well read more

Going to the dentist always makes me nervous, but the staff made it a comfortable experience! There was no wait time and everything was done in a timely manner. Dr.Nguyen and his staff were kind and patient in answering all my questions. I highly recommend this place! read more

I was introduced to Dr. Nguyen years ago by my parents and was immediately impressed by how friendly and genuine he is. Dr. Nguyen is very patient, gentle and about as in unintimidating as you can get for a dentist. He has an amazing ability for recall, like asking how a tournament went a year after our last visit. Let's face it, dental work is a necessary evil. If there was one thing both my husband's could agree on is that Dr. Nguyen is a great dentist! He cares about your oral health and is also very affordable and is understanding when it comes to your treatment plan to accommodate your insurance or budget. In fact, when the recession hit and we were between jobs with no coverage, we were still able to get our exams and cleaning without breaking the bank. He takes PPO and Medi-cal. Initially our children were going to a fancy pediatric dentist filled with video games and toys. What I learned is that we were purely numbers in her office and the more she packed in, the longer we waited to be seen. You won't find fancy TVs and cartoons on the walls at Premier Dental because you won't be waiting an hour to be seen. He is great building a rapport with children and helping them through their fears - adults too. No fancy bells and whistles, just an excellent dentist that is more like a trusted friend that prefers to invest in good equipment and being educated on the latest dental advancements. read more

Went to see Jonathan for a dental exam and he was great. No wait time. He was very easy to talk to and even got a few fillings knocked out in the same day. The following week we finished the other fillings. Everything done in less than a week. Even sent my mom in for crowns/route canal. He made her feel super comfortable and pain free. He explained everything very thorough and even had diagrams to show us exactly what work was to be done. He answered all our questions/concerns. Highly Recommended! read more

Just went in for my routine cleaning and left very pleased with my super fresh, super clean/polished teeth. I've been coming to this office for years now and will continue coming here until forever. Dr. Jon Nguyen is amazing! He is not only my dentist but my entire family and friends of friends dentist as well. The front desk is professional and polite. I've never had an issue with my insurance. I've recommended even friend with no insurance to come here for even a route canal and my friend was super pleased and relieved. Jon not only is your dentist but also your friend. He makes you feel comfortable and educates the patient on his recommendation and options to better fit your needs. Anytime my friends need a dentist, I always recommend Dr. Nguyen. He rocks! They even have weekend appointments. So what are is everyone waiting for? Make an appointment today! read more

Premier Dental - Super happy with my teeth cleaning! #nofilter - General Dentistry Near Me - San Diego, California

I am so relieved to have found Premier Dental and very happy with my experience this morning. I started experiencing a toothache after getting a filling elsewhere, was in a lot of pain and did not want to go back to my previous dentist. Dr. Nguyen went over my x-rays with me (which I found comforting as my previous dentist never did that) and also very kindly went over my options with zero pressure. I need a root canal but instead of dread, I am looking forward to having Dr. Nguyen perform the procedure. He and his entire staff are incredibly friendly and made me feel like I've found a dental office I would like to stick with. Also the office is very pleasant to be in -clean, bright, nice background music, and the ceiling light tiles look like you're looking up into the sky. I would like to say a special thank you to the dental assistants who were so patient and kind. read more

I originally came here for a filling, which was taken care of immediately and easily. After having such a great experience with Dr. Nguyen I decided to add on braces! I'm 6 months in and I am so happy with the staff at Premiere Dental. They are super accommodating, each dental hygienist is super kind, and of course Dr. Nguyen is a phenomenal person. I recommend coming here, especially if you have Medical. read more

As someone dependent on Denti-cal, I had pretty much lost faith in finding a good dentist. Dr. Nguyen & his staff are amazingly caring & professional. I've had three procedures at this point. Dr. Nguyen is such a wizard, I've stopped associating dental visits with pain (sometimes pain for days after, along with other unpleasant symptoms from terrible dentists who shot me too full of novocaine). I actually enjoy going to this office. read more

After being a Registered Dental Assistant for 10 years, it's been difficult to look for a new trustworthy dentist. I've been a patient of Dr.Nguyen for about a year or more. No complaints besides the limited parking. Dr.Nguyen is a great knowledgeable dentist that listens to his patients. He does not diagnose treatments that are not necessary. Last year, I got the best perfect fitted crown!!! Believe me, I know a perfect fit. I could feel still feel the smooth grooves in them. I would highly recommend this dentist to anyone and everyone!!!!! read more

The dentist is doing great, he is friendly. I'll come back a again.

Dr. Nguyen and his staff truly cared about me and the services I was being provided. Not only were they friendly, they were genuine when taking care of my needs. As a full time student SDSU, Dr. Nguyen took into consideration my limited schedule and the importance of being flexible around my studies. I will defiantly be returning to Premiere Dental for my future dental needs and would highly recommended to all; especially fellow Aztecs. read more

Dr. Nguyen always does a great job when I come in. I've been going to him for a couple years now and wouldn't imagine going to anyone else. Very reasonable price points even if you don't have insurance. Definitely try to drop by if you need any general or specialty dental work! read more

Awful place, I had to wait 40 minutes to be seen, I kept gagging/chocking on water the was flowing like a river down my throat the whole time. The dentist kept saying that we need to be partners, what a fucking joke, rude would be what I would say about this guy. He kept leaving while cleaning my teeth and visiting with other people in the office. Unprofessional is how I would describe my experience with him. I'm not real sure if he even cleaned all my teeth, It didn't feel like it. His small talk consisted of football smalltalk and chastizing me, about my teeth. I have been to quite a few dentists in my life and most were relatively pleasant experiences, but not here. I ran out of this nightmare as fast as I could. If I could give him negative 5 stars, I would. Not recommended at all. read more

Best dentist I've ever been too. I have severe anxiety with dentists. They were so calm and so amazing. And they let me get my fillings same day and 2 days later to get it over with! And my son came and had a great experience. read more

I've been going to Dr. Nguyen since I was a kid. He is very nice and helpful. Any concerns you have or questions, Dr.Nguyen can answer! I've had my braces on for almost two years now and my teeth have never looked better. He is very understanding and takes care of his patient as if they are family and not just a patient. Diana, the assistant, is also very kind and treats you like a friend would. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a professional, quality dentist. read more

We've been coming here for almost 7 years. My husband desperately needed to see a dentist and put it off until he was in extreme pain. My husband ended up falling asleep during a root canal. Staff was honest about what was up, expectations, costs, and referrals as needed (yeah, hubby's teeth were that bad!). Obviously, we've been going to Dr. Nguyen for about 7 years. I've had some work done, mostly just the annuals (thanks genetics!). He's up to date on random issues that have plagued me and my family - pregnancy and menstrual gingivitis, the red-head gene (MC1R), and premature children and their teeth. My two kids have been coming for check-ups since they each got their first teeth. Dr. Nguyen is who I refer my mom friends to for second opinions when they get outrageous care plans for kids, because he's honest and doesn't recommend unnecessary work. He'll tell you straight up what is needed and timelines. After reading this back to my loving husband, he corrected my first paragraph. My husband's fallen asleep during multiple root canals. Husband wanted me to mention that he's great with kids. read more

Professionalism and care at it's best! I first came to Dr. Nguyen with a bad toothache. Dr. Nguyen took the time to explain my options to me and performed the necessary work to relieve my pain all in the same appointment. His staff is so kind and caring as well. I am always nervous going to the dentist due to my anxiety issues and Dr. Nguyen and his staff made sure to make me feel comfortable and allowed me to take the time I needed to get through my appointment. I've had additional work done with Dr. Nguyen after the initial appointment and the experience was as great as the first visit. Not only did they make an outstanding first impression but carried out that standard of care to the second, third and fourth impression. Their genuine care for their patients shows through the care and attention at each and every appointment. I would highly recommend Dr. Nguyen and his staff without hesitation. Thank you Dr. Nguyen and staff for such a pleasant experience. read more

Second visit in and I'm sold! Went in today for two fillings and a cleaning. Not only is Dr. Nguyen super gentle but he works extremely fast. I was probably done in about 30-45 minutes tops which is A LOT to say when visiting the dentist. Parking can be a bit hit-or-miss but luckily the street is unmetered. When looking for a dentist I was looking for someone close to my house who had the reviews to back them up. I must've googled a handful of them but decided to try out Premier Dental. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Premier dental is a wonderful place to go to for your dental needs. It's super clean and welcoming. The staff here are super helpful and nice. Although I usually only come here every six months for a regular cleaning I wouldn't choose a different place. One thing I also want to add is that I'm a big scaredy cat when it comes to needles but Dr.Jonathan made me feel reassured and I didn't feel any pain. read more

Dr. Nguyen is a great dentist and stand up guy! He is very personable and takes the time to listen to his patients. He is always looking out for the best interest of his patients and understands where his patients are coming from. Takes the time to make sure everything is done perfectly even if it means staying past business hours. Great staff as well! read more

Went into the office today to see the Dr. Nguyen. First time in my life was asked to give a credit card before the treatment. Its an 'industry' the do what they can to sell you on the spot, pay for the work and you hope that its good? I don't know this practice so I left. I own my own business and don't carry dental insurance and offers 'cash' (Credit Card) when asked for treatment. I received the consultation and then was handed the 400 dollar quote. I agreed with the quote and was then was asked to go to the front and pay. I only know that Yelper's recommend this dentist, my experience was one of distrust of the patients, so then in like kind I obviously distrust the doctor. I normaly pay for my oil changes when they are finished with the car. I normaly pay for repairs to my business after they are done. I now pay for dental work before its finished? Really? This doctor distrusted me and his patient without insurance and for that I left the office. Our credit score is over 800 and I drive a car that is paid for, (2018) sad to have been treated like a bank robber. Stay away from this place they do not respect the patient. I think the primary mission here is to make money and get paid for what they do upfront and not 'care' about the patient. read more
