Dr.Chen is the best dentist I have ever seen!

Efficient, courteous, understanding and effective.

This place is awesome! I gave it a shot because my old dentist retired and they were close by. At first, I wasn't totally sold, not because of anything they did, but because the parking spots were a little tight (I hate small spots!). But anyway, after walking in and checking in with these super nice young women, Annie and Alondra, who were so helpful and welcoming, I felt better. Annie even took the time to call my insurance and made sure I got the most coverage possible for my work. She went over everything with me and made sure I was totally informed. I know I ask a ton of questions because I like to know what I'm getting into, and both girls were so patient. They're definitely why this visit was worth reviewing. The dentist was good, the one I saw was alright, I mean, he wasn't my old dentist, but hey, what can you do? The office staff is why I'll definitely be going back. A big thanks to Annie especially for being so patient and getting me out the door with a really reasonable payment.

What is the Mouth-Body Connection® ?


The Mouth-Body Connection® refers to the link between oral health and overall health, and the role that the harmful bacteria and inflammation in our mouths play in chronic, systemic disease. That’s why it’s time we talked about more than your teeth. Our office prioritizes your overall health as it relates to your oral health. When we care for your smile we’re also looking out for your entire self.
