I've been going to Dr. Trieu for about 10 years now. He's the only dentist that I trust because he always do what's best for the patient. I highly recommend Dr. Trieu. He's the best! read more

This review is long overdue. My kids and I've been coming to Dr. Trieu for the last few years and couldn't be more grateful to have found him. He takes his time with each patient and cares for them like they are his family. Every visit has been pain free and pleasant- wouldn't dream of trusting anyone else with our dental care. read more

Dr trieu and his staff are so friendly every time. He takes great pride in his work and puts an emphasis on teaching instead of tricking like other dentists. Very clean and private office also with state of the art technology. read more

Dr. Trieu and his staff are truly remarkable. I loved my original dentist, however my concern was with my braces relapse and he didn't offer any orthodontic work. I only have heard wonderful things about Dr. Trieu from my peers, so I decided to do a consultation with him. Despite COVID, they were able to see me within the week. That was something I wasn't used to, as my previous dentist would be booked for months--even to reschedule a cleaning. Dr. Trieu's team has the utmost care, and they do an amazing job making you feel as if you are family. He truly stands by his philosophy and I admire his transparency. He is able to coherently explain all the possible solutions, outcomes, and genuinely curates a best fit option for you. I came in expecting him just to be my ortho, but he came out being my dentist for everything! I give him props for being the only dentist that has convinced me to floss every single day. read more

Dr. Trieu and his staff are fantastic! I have been going to Dr. Trieu for over 10 years! They are gentle and honest. I had a few teeth that Dr. Trieu worked on and it came out beautiful. He was patient and didn't rush the process. Always asked if I was ok or if I needed a break from the work. He made sure I was comfortable and not in any pain. I highly recommend Dr. Trieu to everyone! read more

100% recommend! Staff and Dr. Trieu are great and pain-free! He takes pride in his work and is meticulous about quality.

I've never had a dentist like Dr Trieu! Truly passionate about preserving your teeth and not for doing unnecessary work, Dr Trieu is trustworthy, patient and caring. The office staff and hygienists are extremely friendly, thorough and professional. I've always had great experiences at this practice and recommend it 100% read more

My husband and I both see Dr. Trieu and we both highly recommend him. You can tell he really cares for his patients. Everyone in the office are all super friendly, accommodating, and warm. So thankful we found him! read more

I am absolutely in love with Dr. Trieu. I have been wanting braces all my life but I've never found a dentist that I could trust my teeth with. Dr. Trieu educated me on the health of my teeth, and doing less is more. He cares about his patients and he is a true artist. Thank you for carefully analyzing the best way and the best result to install these braces for my overall appearance. Because anyone can have straight teeth, but not everyone can have an artist designing the teeth that best fit your face. I'm soooo soooo thrilled and I don't even feel any pain from my braces read more

It took me a very long time to feel comfortable going to the dentist after being away for years. I found Dr Trieu to be patient with me, and very caring. My daughter originally was referred by her neurologist to help with her migraines..He was successful, and the rest is history. This was 18 years ago that we first walked in the door. A few years ago Dr Trieu did veneers on me. Now I have the beautiful smile I waited so long for. I love the work that he did, painless and efficient. He is amazing!!! read more

Dr. Trieu cares about your teeth's longevity and truly saving you money. He's passionate about daily oral health and catching problems early so that he never has to do big procedures. He is also super kind and always available via text and phone which I really appreciate. He's the only dentist I trust with my teeth! read more

After meeting Dr. Trieu and his team, I now enjoy going to the dentist! Dr. Trieu's outlook is to help educate you on how to preserve your teeth, rather than going straight to the drill. Through multiple recommendations from friends, I went to Dr. Trieu and his team. Going to Preservation Dentistry is always a pleasant time. I'm always greeted with a smile by the whole team and have genuine conversations with everyone. When I first met Dr. Trieu, he wanted to replace my previous filling (from a previous dentist) to make sure everything was good underneath. I don't do well with needles or drilling, so I was very scared, but the whole process wasn't as bad as I imagined. I did not feel any pain at all; Dr. Trieu was very gentle. Also, the fact that Dr. Trieu guided me through the process and made sure I was okay is why he's such a great dentist. He develops a trusting relationship with his patients. My view of going to the dentist has changed from being a nightmare to a very enjoyable visit. I always look forward to going to Preservation Dentistry, and I highly recommended seeing Dr. Trieu and his team! read more

I always write great reviews after every visits. Dr. Trieu has very gentle skilled hands. He took care of a complex molar painlessly where other dentists would've dug in and created more trauma, pain, healing time and money. Grateful for very skilled hands. Keep it up. read more

Best! Dentist I've met. First time been here I just want to do veneers make my teeth pretty in the faster way. But, Dr. Trieu really concerned for my teeth in the healthy way. So he took a lot of photos of my teeth with different angles to carefully look at them. After, a lot of work he discussed with me. He listens and understand what I needs before he start any works. He used magnifier to work on my teeth. His works is exquisite and his aesthetics is very good. I like what he done for my teeth and I feel comfortable when he works on my teeth. read more

I was referred to Dr. Trieu by 2 of my co-workers and they were soo right about their wonderful experience. His professional beside manner is truly superior. Dr. Trieu and his entire staff are caring, patient, and truly love what they do. I will now transferred my entire family to Preservation Dentistry. read more

I have been going to doctor true for as long as I remember and his assistants and everyone who works there are always helpful and kind. They do everything perfectly and I would recommend them read more

Dr. Trieu is amazing! I saw Dr. Trieu back when I was 12 years old for a front tooth root canal after my dog headbutted me in the chin. I used to hate the dentist. They were always giving me fillings instead of teaching me how to prevent them. Dr. Trieu was the most patient with me and not only explained each step of the process but also gave context to why and how things happened. Fast forward 16 years later, I am now 28 and moved away from Tustin but was in need of a face lift on my old root canal tooth as it was starting to look discolored. I saw multiple dentist, all which told me they didn't know what would work (which didn't give me confidence for them drilling on my front tooth). I decided to call my old friend, Dr. Trieu. Dr. Trieu made space in his calendar and was able to book me right away. I had a few quick appointments and he was even able to make time on the weekend since I didn't live in the area anymore. We then tried a combo treatment to get the tooth as white as it could be. Immediately, my tooth was white. So white, I had to get whitening trays for my other teeth to catch up. I will never go see anyone else. Dr. Trieu is the leader in the industry. He is my dentist "Cheerleader". read more

I realize that reviews for medical doctors are highly subjective and anecdotal, but I am here to truly make an objective case for Dr. Trieu (owner and sole practitioner). Dr. Trieu has told me that he still has patients who will fly in from out of state to see him, and I 100% believe this. I have only been with Dr. Trieu for a year and I am already dreading the day that either I have to move, or he someday retires. I currently drive almost an hour to get to Dr. Trieu, and I will happily continue to make the drive for as long as he has a practice. So why go to Dr. Trieu? The Man. Loves. Teeth. If there was ever an eccentric about teeth, Dr. Trieu is it. He will absolutely talk your ear off about how to take care of your teeth. I believe my onboarding visit took 2-3 hours! Of course much of this time was getting photos and x-rays, but a LOT of the time was 1-on-1 with Dr. Trieu while he carefully explains exactly what Preservation Dentistry is about. He personally performs the first cleaning for new patients, and takes the time to get to know you, and pours over your dental images to get to know your story intimately. And yes, HE TALKS A LOT, and often repeats himself. At first I found this quirk to be a bit jarring; I didn't come to my first appointment prepared for the onslaught of dental details. I've been used to all my previous dentists who just gave me a check up, and briefly recommended some oral care routines. But now that I have had some time to digest my first interaction with Dr. Trieu, I have come to the realization that he is exactly the kind of person that you want as your dentist. I love that dentistry is his obsession and his passion. He cares so intensely about both the quality of his work and the health/results of his patients. He is constantly working to give you tips to "train you to not need [him]," as he puts it. He is always teaching you how to hold your dentist to the highest standard. His philosophy is about preserving as much of your natural teeth as possible. He desperately wants to avoid any costly procedures that result in drilling holes in your teeth. He takes the time to work very slowly and talks you through what he is doing so that you are very comfortable. When he had to give me a shot down to the root of my teeth, he took almost 10 minutes to do it in stages so that the numbness would kick in early, and I didn't feel a thing. Plus, he even texted me later that night to check on me to see if I had any pain after the numbness wore off! What a guy! I have never had another dentist quite like him. Not even CLOSE! And listening to him excitedly repeat his philosophy every visit is a small price to pay for such excellent service. So go ahead and book an appointment now, and get ready to talk about teeth! :) read more

Dr. Trieu is by *far* the best dentist I've ever had. He goes above and beyond any dentist I have ever worked with. He is kind, patient, professional, and takes time to explain why certain things need to be done (or more importantly, why certain things *don't* need to be done). He has a very specific philosophy and set of values that he adheres to that is refreshing. He takes a long term view when it comes to your dental health, and doesn't look for quick fix solutions. He goes out of his way to establish a relationship of trust with his patients, and makes himself available (I frequently text him with questions). This is why I trust his opinion wholly. Dr. Trieu has also hired a warm and welcoming staff. Sal and Ana are amazing. The office is incredibly clean, well-kept, and complete with the latest and most modern equipment. Dr. Trieu likes to take his time with every patient, so rarely will you see another patient in the office at the same time. I don't know any other dentist who is so dedicated to patient care that they only have one patient in the office at a time. I could go on and on, but I'll just conclude by saying that after seeing Dr. Trieu for two years, I'm having my whole family see him. You will not find a better dentist. Anywhere. Go see Dr. Trieu. You won't regret it. read more

I am so thankful my previous dentist, who retired, referred me to Dr. Trieu. He is fantastic, and so is the entire office! I love his passion and willingness to preserve what we have and not be so quick to drill on teeth. His philosophy is simple, and it makes sense. A beautiful office with skilled staff adds to the entire experience! I know my family will continue to be patients for years to come! read more

There are a few things I looks for in a great dentist and then there are some who exceed them above and beyond: -Skills and experience are impeccable -Safe, clean, and convenient office location -Gives enough anesthesia and always gently so I won't be traumatized for life and come back to take care of my teeth Above and beyond: -You know how some doctors have high integrity in their work and actually care that it last 10 years plus? Yep... -I've been going to him the last 15 yrs and most of his work is still intact making it actually financial logical since you don't have to re-do and suffer more pain as I know with other dentists -Yes, that's why I kept telling friends and family to go here. Maybe one day, he'll give me a candy bar for all my good referrals;-) *You know the old saying, "you get what you pay for"...Yep.... read more

Dr. Trieu is an incredibly knowledgeable and professional dentist in Irvine, CA. I've been to many dentists in my life and by far he's one of the best. His office staff are very friendly, the atmosphere of the office is calm and relaxing, the equipments are new and up to date technology. I really appreciate his philosophy and approach on preserving his patients' natural teeth rather than tell me that I need other procedures to make money. I love the cleaning technique that he uses so it doesn't scrape my teeth. My teeth has never looked better. I felt like I had a new set of teeth without bleaching or any other procedures that I was always told that I should get by other dentists (crowns, vinyls, bleaching etc). Definitely will listen to his advices on how to take better care of my dental health. Thanks doc! read more

Well, here I am once again - "surely my third Yelp review will be about an amazing bowl of ramen or some crazy truffle souffle brulee au lait" but no, it's about a visit to the dentist. Dr. Trieu is no ordinary man nor was this an ordinary dental experience. Normally you go to the dentist, sit down, open your mouth, and sit there for 30 minutes with nothing to do but imagine a tiny gremlin running wild in your mouth and the dentist is trying to blindly joust him. Dr. Trieu was not that. Nothing even close to that. Ana (who was the sweetest receptionist and assistant!) got started with the x-rays, and Dr. Trieu came in before she was even done to look at them. He sat down and went over the images, explaining everything thoroughly with easy to understand analogies. At this point, it was apparent that this person was passionate about what he does and his sole concern wasn't just to attend to the mouth sitting in front of him, but the person himself. He took great pride in educating me throughout the entire process and even went over my medical section and taught me stuff that my primary care physician never did! He then did something that truly frightened me at first - he handed me a small mirror to so that I can look at the tiny-germlin-jousting affair. I contemplated not looking at first, but was intrigued, so I looked. It was beautiful. Not my teeth, but his gentle and patient approach that was truly on it's own stratosphere compared to every other dentist I've ever been to. No scrapping, no digging, no hacking, no force - it was gentle and steady. Dr. Trieu isn't just the best dentist you'll ever go to, he is the person that you'll wish could work on your car, give you legal advise, birth your baby, be your personal trainer, and be just about every other professional. His level of care, integrity, and honesty is quite rare and inspiring and it has left me gleefully excited. Yes, gleefully excited about a dentist. read more

I've been coming to this dentist for years mostly for cleaning and minor dental work. Dr. Trieu has always been very patient and takes his time to explain exactly what he's doing along with with the philosophies behind his treatments and procedures. This past week, I needed some major work done and Dr. Trieu and his staff were amazing at providing the treatment that I needed! As always, he took his time to explain in detail what he would need to do and why. During the actual procedure, Dr. Trieu and his assistant Sal were meticulous, patient and moved with grace like teeth ninjas. I love how Dr. Trieu makes it a point to make his procedures as painless and as comfortable as possible. For instance, he took his time giving me the anesthesia in multiple stages to completely eliminate the pain usually involved in getting a numbing shot. He made extra efforts and went above and beyond to make sure the job was done properly and beautifully. At the end, I was extremely and overwhelmingly satisfied with the results! I feel fortunate having found Dr. Trieu and team. I know I can rely on them for their expertise and honesty when it comes to dental work. read more

I wish I knew about Dr. Trieu years ago! I've never looked forward to seeing my dentist before in my life but I look forward to seeing Dr. Trieu because I always leave in a better place than when I came in. I've had my teeth worked on a number of times by a nearby dentist, but the attention to detail and attentiveness and care was no where near this office. I had a root canal performed by the other dentist and the experience compared to Dr. Trieu was night and day. I also had extreme pain in my tooth before I started seeing Dr. Trieu. My last dentist recommended taking my wisdom tooth out. I wanted a second opinion and my co-workers told me about Dr. Trieu. He checked it out and had a hunch it was a root canal that was needed due to a cavity, not my wisdom tooth. He referred me to a root canal specialist and it turns out Dr. Trieu was right! Dr. Trieu has treated me with care, explaining everything as he's doing it. And even though the procedures cost a little more than my last dentist I will gladly pay more for such amazing work! Dr. Trieu and his staff are the best!!! read more

I have always been afraid of the dentist until I met Dr. Trieu. He is truly an amazing doctor with so much care and sincere for his patients are not any pain. I highly recommend Dr. Trieu. He is awesome. read more

Dr. Trieu is absolutely amazing! I went in already thinking I would need a root canal because that's what my previous dentist told me and Dr. Trieu said "no, let's try to save your tooth". I was already in disbelief from that statement but he was true to it and did exactly that! The whole procedure was painless and quick and I walked out of his office with the biggest smile I've had in months! And his staff was also super friendly and very helpful. And what I really appreciated was he took the time to inform me about what was going on with my teeth and made the effort to educate me on preventive care I could utilize to decrease my visits to him. He emphasized not wanting to do a bunch of drilling or extracting and focused on preservation and prevention care of my real teeth. And he did it in a way that made logical sense. So not only did he save my tooth but also saved my wallet from the pain of a costly root canal. I am so grateful and I am definitely recommending Dr. Trieu to all my friends and family. Thank you Dr. Trieu for a fantastic job well done!!! read more

For all those who live in IRVINE, or for those who don't mind the drive like myself....I have to recommend the best Dentist and Dental office you will ever experience. Dr. Trieu at Preservation Dentistry in Irvine saved my tooth with his care and knowledge a few years back - since then he has guided me and his staff has taken great gentle care of me and my teeth. To better explain I just had a deep cleaning and I was nervous, but the outcome was like a lullaby.... I almost fell asleep in the hands of Alex the hygienist. The whole office gets 100 ! If you're looking for a great exceptional Dentist - I recommend Dr. Trieu!!! read more

The best dentist, hands down!! My family is now a "Trieu" family!! Honestly, he puts aside all fears and reluctancies regarding dental issues. He's simply the best! read more

I've gone to Dr. Trieu for the past 7 yrs until I moved from CA to AZ. Simply put, Dr. Trieu and his team (Ana and Sal) are absolutely top notch. His primary focus is on education and helping you maintain and keep your own teeth. If it were up to him, the only work he would prefer to do is the 6 month check up and cleaning. But, unfortunately, I hadn't gone to the dentist for a long time before I started to go to Dr. Trieu so I had a number of issues to deal with. Dr. Trieu always gives a very thorough consult and lays out all of your options. He helps you maximize your dental benefits by figuring out what's most needed and what work can be deferred for next yr or next several years when your dental benefits renew. It's not black and white either. He tells you and shows you what's going on with your teeth and gums, what can be treated with basic cleaning and proper teeth care, and what requires actual dental work. He does not push any decision on you as he wants you to make your own educated decisions. Ultimately, I had a crown replacement, abfraction repairs, one implant, and had wisdom teeth pulled by Dr. Trieu in addition to cleaning... lots and lots of cleaning, which BTW, Dr. Trieu always does himself. Dr. Trieu's work is impeccable. He does not rush and works to ensure that everything is done to perfection. After moving to AZ, I went to a new dentist. He and his hygenist complimented the work Dr. Trieu did saying the work was "beautiful." I felt the same way as I've never had any issues w/ any of the work Dr. Trieu did for me. Best thing is, my new dentist said my teeth and gums were in excellent shape. No gum disease at all, no bleeding, no need for any dental work. This is due primarily because of Dr. Trieu's advice which I followed religiously for the past 7 yrs. Dr. Trieu may not be the cheapest dentist, but the quality of his work, his attention to detail, and the friendliness and caring of his staff are well worth it. This isn't getting a car fixed. This is your only set of teeth so I prefer to go with someone who knows what they're doing rather than the cheapest assembly line dental clinic. Most importantly, the huge amt of time and advice Dr. Trieu gives you and the subsequent lack of need for ANY dental work beyond regular cleanings and check ups, is priceless. read more

Dr Trieu is the best! He is one of the rare dentists that does the absolute minimum amount of work necessary to preserve natural teeth with no extra procedures or unnecessary work. I recently had an old crown crack and the replacement was pain-free, easy and fully complete within the same office visit. Extremely skilled dentist and wonderful for anyone who is uneasy about dental work in general. My family and I are grateful to have found him! read more

As a kid I have always hated going to the dentist. I have always craved sweets and growing up we didn't have insurance and couldn't afford going to the dentist. Thus I had lots of cavities and issues. Dr Trieu was and has always been very patient to explain things to me and best of all eases my fear of the pain associated with going to the dentist. I had an underbite that I was always made me feel self conscious. He helped me gain confidence with his dental skills and expertise. I'm very thankful to have him as my dentist. So I totally recommend him. read more

best dentist i've ever had! Dr Trieu explains everything that he is doing and why he is doing it. he never fills cavities just to make $- he only fills cavities when he's sure it's absolutely necessary. HIGHLY recommend him as a dentist! read more

My wife, daughter and I have been going to Dr. Trieu for over 10 years now. Initially we went because of a referral to help with my wife's TMJ - which she had lived with for her entire life up to that point. She didn't really expect much of a result but her TMJ had gotten so bad by then she was desperate for any sort of relief. We were referred to Dr. Trieu because he enjoyed challenges and used technology and new procedures in an innovative fashion (especially 10 years ago). Much to my wife's surprise the treatment over 6 months reaped HUGE benefits. I don't recall exactly the difference in her ability to open her mouth, but it meant the difference between a life of daily pain to one of reasonable normalcy. I can't stress enough how much of a life changer this was for her. After her great experience with him and seeing him for about a year, I started going to his office as well. We immediately hit it off - he believes in informing his patients as much as possible in regards to pro's and con's of each type of treatment and it is truly a collaborative experience. He doesn't mind explaining everything he is doing and why he feels one particular path is better than another. As many other yelpers have noted - he takes a very conservative approach to drilling - choosing to do the least amount possible (also generally a lower cost for the consumer) to get the desired result - believing that a minimalist approach is better in the long run for dental health. Don't get me wrong though - he has all the skills required to perform any dentistry - I have been going to him for a little over 10 years now and I used him for orthodontics for myself as well as regular dentistry cleanings/work. I also now take my daughter to him - she is 8 now, and has been going to him since she was 4. He is great with her and takes the time to ensure that the "experience" is a positive one from the beginning - not wanting to scare her or make it a bad experience as a child. He truly cares about his patients and always approaches his treatment from the aspect of "if this were my mouth, what would I want done". I also wanted to drop a note about his office staff - specifically the office manager - Marycel. She has been there the entire time as well and she is always in a incredibly happy and positive mood and completely customer service focused. She will bend over backward for you and even fights for you with the insurance company if they are being stubbon (as they sometimes are). We couldn't be happier with our family experience at Trieu Dentistry. read more

If you are looking for the most remarkable dentist ever, look no further th Dr Trieu at Preservation Dentisty. Just as the name suggests he actually cares about saving your teeth. He won't drill or grind or pull or do a crown just for the sake of making money. He believes in keeping your natural teeth in there original state and not putting artificial products in unless every option is exhausted. He educates you about what needs to be done and the process he will use to go about it. Most people hate going to the dentist. One trip here and you will never be in fear again. The numbing process is done with such care that you don't even feel it. I have dental insurance through work but Dr Trieu is not in my network and would rather pay to see him then go to any other dentist to have work done because I know it will be done right and with care. His office staff is extremely nice and his office is very modern with big screen TVs to offer entertainment as he works if you so desire. Even if I lived out of state I would still travel to see him. read more

I came in for the first time from out of town (on vacation) and was able to get in and taken care of. Preservation Dentistry worked with my limited schedule on a pretty major dental predicament (I had to get a re-root-canal due to a poor job I had done a few years ago somewhere else. The infection that was growing started giving me unbearable pain all the sudden.) The office is super clean and friendly. It feels like everybody is really taking their time with you, not just trying to rush you in and out. Put me right at ease. Dr. Trieu is just a very caring dentist. He checked up with me as I was returning home and even still makes sure I'm doing okay. He feels more like a new friend than a dentist. Wish there were more like him! read more

If you've ever been to a regular dentist office, you'll notice that it's always super busy with lots of patients waiting. That would be a good sign of business....if this was a restaurant! However, this is a dental office. I've never seen more than 1 other patient ahead of me even though there are multiple patient chairs available. While others may see this as a red flag, I see this as a great sign of business, planning and the ethics of Dr. Trieu. He plans his appointments so that they do not overlap. This ensures that you are receiving the best possible care while his focus is on you and not worrying about another patient. I've had a lot done at this office and I've never felt more comfortable telling other people about it. My friends thinks it's funny that my dentist texts me to make sure I'm doing ok. I think it's awesome that he follows up with his patients to ensure that they are doing well after an invasive procedure. I've referred a lot of people over the years and I will continue to do so. The office is clean. The staff, Marycel and Anna, are super friendly. I've never felt any type of products/services pushed upon me to up sell. Best dental office ever! read more

Dr. Trieu is the BEST! He is so friendly & funny & honest & his staff treats you like family! They are the sweetest people. I actually look forward to going to the Dentist. Other Dentists have pressured me to get lots of work done & pay for a bunch of extras, but Dr. Trieu always talks to me about protecting my teeth & avoiding unnecessary drilling & expenses. He's so great! I've never had a better Dentist! I wouldn't recommend anyone else. read more

Dr. Trieu is awesome. He was able to straighten my teeth in 6 months, just like he promised and the results are looking amazing. Only a couple of weeks left! :-) This is the first time ever that I feel completely comfortable with my dentist. In year's past, I always felt very nervous and anxious when it was time to visit the dentist. Dr. Trieu gives you individualized attention and genuinely cares about your well-being. He takes his time and cares for each of his patients and even encourages you to ask questions via text or call. He's also super flexible! He makes time for you despite his packed schedule if you ever have an emergency or concern. His dental assistant Ana is amazing as well. She's very polite and has a great personality and sense of humor too! And of course the front desk personnel are stellar. Marycel is probably the kindest person I have ever met. She is very patient with you and all of your questions and is very prompt in her responses. If anyone is looking for a dentist or looking to switch to an amazing one, I would highly recommend Dr. Trieu. read more

Dr. Trieu has been our family dentist for so many years. I would recommend him to anyone! He is so gentle and takes time to explain what needs to be done (if anything) and his staff are amazing. We never dread going to the dentist! He really goes above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable during the entire visit. And if you've had some work done he will follow up with you over the next couple days to make sure you are feeling good and recovering. The office is beautiful and clean. Thanks Dr. Trieu! read more
