2 days after top two wisdom teeth extraction (dr.tran unique dental)
Michelle S.

(PLEASE READ FULL STORY BEFORE GOING HERE) I do not recommend going to unique dental for wisdom tooth removal. I found Unique Dental on Yelp and it was the only dental office that accepted my insurance with decent reviews. I had my top two wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Tran. As shown on the x-ray there were no complications they were an easy extraction unfortunately for my bottom teeth they were impacted and faced horizontally and Dr. Tran said one was closer to my nerve and I had 30% risk of getting permanent damage. At this point I was extremely nervous because BEFORE the actual appointment to get them removed no one told me that I was at such a high risk of permanent nerve damage. So I ended up just having him take out the top 2 wisdom teeth. Dr. Tran is a nice man and everyone was really friendly but this one star is for the horrible job he did removing my wisdom teeth. first of all it was very uncomfortable. Yes, I was numbed but I could feel him trying to pull out the tooth and I could tell he was having a difficult time. He tried to do everything he could to make me comfortable but he did not do a good job getting them out. After the extraction of both teeth which took around 2 hours or so I had MASSIVE swelling. When I left the office I immediately iced my cheeks as directed. I iced on and off for 15-20 minutes. I was swollen for a week and it was extremely painful (which I thought was normal) being first time having any serious work done. I went to another dentist for a second opinion because I was very nervous about this "30% risk" and the swelling was so bad I didn't wanna go through the whole process again especially after Dr. Tran said it's going to be worse. I had my BOTTOM impacted wisdom teeth extracted by another dentist and it was NO PROBLEM I barely had any swelling at all and these are the teeth that were going to be hardest to take out. The other dentist took x-rays and didn't understand why I was told I got a 30% risk of damage he said it's more like 1% and he showed me the x-rays and explained every single detail to me unlike Dr.Tran. The reason that really pushed me to make this review is because today I went to my new dentist for a checkup to see how my gums are healing. Its been exactly 7 days since I've had the bottoms removed and they are FULLY HEALED I'm still having pain with my top gums from Dr.Tran and it turns out I still have a hole that has not healed and its been 21 DAYS. That is absolutely ridiculous that my bottom teeth healed within 7 days when they were fully impacted and my top teeth which had no issues has not healed in almost a month!! The reason I had such a horrible healing process from Dr. Tran is because he made small incisions and pulled out the teeth which irritated my gums this is the sign of someone very inexperienced. You have to make a big incision and open up the gums so you can see what your doing and so you don't irritate and inflame the tissue. -Words from a oral surgeon. For the sake of others I have to post my pictures after my experience with Dr. Tran AND other dentist to show the difference of swelling. I don't recommend anyone to ever get work done that this office. They are inexperienced and I had a horrible recovery. Both pictures are 2 days after extraction the bigger one is dr.tran taking out my top teeth the second is my impacted bottom wisdom teeth from my new dentist.

Im truly one of the hardest patients to work on 2 root canals and 7 cavities. The amazing staff here at unique dental helped me tremendously

Great doctor, great staff! I am so happy to have found a…read moredentist that I can trust. I don't mind going to my dentist appointments anymore since I found this place. Everyone is so friendly and educated. I will continue to recommend this place to everyone! I have had several teeth cleanings here and each appointment they show to be very efficient and caring. Thank you :)

I really wanted to like this place because it was so nice and clean. However my issue was with the…read moredental admin department. This office is an absolute scam. They tried to push an unnecessary deep cleaning on me--even after I confirmed with my insurance (Humana) and my sister-in-law, a licensed dental hygienist, that I didn't need it. She personally reviewed my X-rays and said there was zero justification for that level of treatment. Despite this, the office kept insisting I needed it, then manipulated the billing codes to group procedures in a way that would force me to pay more out-of-pocket--even though my insurance covers 70%. When I called Humana, they confirmed the office was submitting things incorrectly. But instead of owning up to it, the staff tried to blame the insurance company and act like they were "just trying to help me save money." That was a lie. I wanted the office to send an appeal. They did not do that. They kept saying I desperately needed it but if I did then my insurance should have no problem covering it. They did not provide sufficient proof/evidence for the claim to be approved. It just didn't make any sense to me. I chose to text as a form of contact so I would have receipts of the conversation in case anything happened and I'm glad I did because when I re read everything it's just absolutely ridiculous how they handled the situation and how they dodged so many of my questions while I was trying to gain clarity. This place is predatory. They rely on patients not understanding billing codes or questioning treatment plans. It is so important to understand what your insurance covers because places like this will do everything in their power to make you pay up front and tell you insurance will cover it later. Then you'll realize your insurance will reject the claim snd you're out $500 of your own money. The whole experience felt like a setup to squeeze as much money as possible from me under the guise of "care." Do yourself a favor: get a second opinion, talk to your insurance, and run far away from this office. They are unethical, dishonest, and absolutely not looking out for your best interest. Also I want to mention if you look at the other 1 star review, you can see the another person having the same exact issue regarding the deep cleaning. I couldn't believe it.

Are you trying to look for a new dentist? Look no further and read below!…read more This review is long overdue, but I'm finally making time for it right after my appt. My husband and I have been going for the past year after extensive research for a new dentist post move (I've had some bad experiences with dental care before here so I'm picky.) Not only did Dr. Dang call personally to welcome us to his practice, which has never happened, but everyone was so friendly, caring, and helpful. Dorothy has done our cleanings, Yesi has helped with treatments, and Erica is always awesome with scheduling, check in, and check out! Thank you so much for all of your help! You're really making a difference in people's lives by being caring humans, and I'm sure Dr. Dang chooses his team wisely because they're on the same page and everyone is so so respectful. There is no ego and they're always so polite. The kindness goes such a long way! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Dr. Dang is an amazing dentist. He truly cares about his patients and does excellent dental work…read more His team is easy to schedule with and the whole staff is great. We have our whole family going to him.

I just currently left after doing some fillings, not once but for a second time in one week because they weren't done correctly, the first time. So after going back to fix it, they're even worse now Dr. Bui is literally telling me to just go eat food and that will fix my teeth and that the pressure in between my teeth is normal. I have never felt this uncomfortable from dental work before. I honestly dont know why I came back here after my first horrible experience. After telling Dr. Bui that I was uncomfortable she basically just told me to leave. I told the people in the front to which they said they would talk to her and she basically told them to tell me to leave. Horrible experiences all around. They refuse to even brush and clean your teeth before doing work on you. Not to mention the tools looked old and had rust spots on them. She did similar horrible work with a crown to my mother, trying to more or less scam her over, overcharging her. I don't know the exact story with my mother, but I know that my mother refuses to go back to her as well. To top it all off she's in there arguing with one of her doctors in the front office, shes clearly a difficult person to work with. That's probably why there's never a doctor that lasts more than a couple years there. Edit: one month later i have pain and sensitivity in one of the three teeth they did a filling on, i cant eat or chew on that side and now have to go to another doctor to fix their botched work.

Before leaving, I asked multiple times if everything was paid, and they told me yes. I repeatedly asked for an itemized receipt, but they kept avoiding the question. Eventually, I received a receipt showing only the amount paid with no details. Later, I paid in advance for a deep cleaning but decided to cancel it and requested a refund. Suddenly, they told me I owed additional money for the root canal--even though I had already paid and was told everything was settled. The whole situation was extremely confusing and frustrating. Be very careful with the front office and billing. Get everything in writing and ask for an itemized receipt. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this office.
