In 2009, I began my volunteer work organized by the Remote Area Medical or RAM, which provides free dental, medical, and vision care to homeless and low-income individuals in Sacramento and Oakland. I restored teeth for people who'd not been able to afford dentistry for more than 20 years. After seeing patients waiting in lines for more than 24 hours to get help with their broken, decayed, and infected teeth, I can't stop coming back to volunteer for similar organizations since then.Every two or three months, I spend 20 or more hours donating my dental expertise at free care events such as California Dental Association-CDA Cares, the Sonrisas Community Dental Center in Half Moon Bay, and California CareForce.
Normally, the process for getting a Dental Implant can last anywhere between four to 12 months and requires surgical procedures. In the initial surgical appointment, a tooth root implant made of titanium is gently placed into the bone socket of the missing tooth. The procedure can be done using either local anesthesia or general anesthesia for patients who are anxious. The recovery from the procedure is often associated with very little discomfort. As the jawbone heals, it grows around the implant and secures it.
Our philosophy is to treat every patient with dignity, compassion, kindness, and integrity. Dr. ChauLong Nguyen and her team see patients as individuals, each with unique oral health needs and goals in seeking treatment. We provide friendly, comprehensive general, cosmetic and restorative dentistry for people of all ages; at our dental practice.
Every "One Day Teeth" procedure starts with your free consultation at ImplantForMe. During this consultation, Dr. Nguyen will develop with you a special treatment plan and will inform you exactly how much dental implants procedure will cost you without any hidden fees. When you reach the decision to move forward with your implants procedure, Dr. Nguyen will complete your treatment plan & prepare your procedure.

Dr. Nugyen and her staff are awesome. They're so friendly and taking care of their patients with care and courtesy. I am Dr. Nugyen's patient for more than 7 years and so happy and satisfied with her work. My husband and I both love her personality and her expertise and the way she cares about us. I recommend her to anyone wants to have a great dentist with genuine care.

Dr Nguyen is just brilliant. I have to say I am blessed to have her as my dentist and over the years received the highest quality dental care. Assisted by her friendly and kind team, Kelly and Helen, she applies her expertise with heart, passion and always a great smile! Thank you Chaulong, you are the best.

Dr. Nguyen and her staff Kelly and Helen are a great dental team. The staff always addresses me and all of my family members by our names and are friendly. We are all her patients. Dr. Nguyen is one-of-a-kind. Out of the 30 years of going to dentists, she is the only one that I will miss (we are moving out-of-state) because she is so genuine, kind, and has such an endearing personality.

I don't have to worry about ever getting a second review because she is honest and extremely knowledgeable. I have never gotten charged for unnecessary procedures and she even gives me tips that work to prevent cavities and receding gum lines, meaning I save money down the road avoiding costly corrective procedures. She is well-read, talks about as well as shares relevant research study articles with me, and keeps up with her CME.

She values the importance of staying up-to-date and attends the annual UCLA Hawaii Symposium. The best part is she is always sharing her knowledge with her patients. She even checks for lumps near my jaws and head because everything is connected in regards to my dental health. We trust Dr. Nguyen and her staff and hope that we can find someone almost as good as her at our new place.

I have had Dr. Nguyen for around 10 years now. I am still happy and very satisfied with her work. I don't know what I would do without her excellent service. My teeth will so lost without her. Until now, I still see her even when I relocated to Fresno. I still travel to get work done in my teeth.

I have been going to Dr. Nguyen for 18 years. My teeth continue to get better and better. She is extremely professional, going to conferences and staying on top of her profession. She is gentle, caring and has really guided me through the process of strengthening my teeth and gums. Consider yourself lucky to have the opportunity to be her patient!

Dr. Nguyen is the best Dentist that I have ever experienced! She takes pride in her work and is smart, gentle, kind, thorough, and honest. Dr. Nguyen consistently goes out of her way to explain things to me and make sure that I am comfortable (before, during and after any procedures). She has even gone above and beyond on a weekend - helping me to avoid what could have turned into the need for a root canal therapy.

I drive all the way from San Francisco to see her and her Team because they are just that phenomenal! I wish that I had found this office a long time ago. Thank you SO much, Dr. Nguyen.

Dr Nguyen and her staff me me feel at home, I was a little scare at first, but from start to finish I was very happy. Their work there is very remarkable. I'm very pleased, I walked in with a missing tooth and walked out with a new smile that I'm not scared to show off. Thank you again so much for helping me in a time of need. Angelica S. Aka (Geli)

Dr. Nguyen is a friendly and knowledgeable, I have been visiting her for 3 years. She has spotted details in my X-ray that my previous dentist did not have insight into because of the fidelity equipment she uses. She has also been open and encouraging to second opinions over different diagnoses and treatments from my previous dentist and other specialists.

I have had several procedures with Dr. Nguyen from regular teeth cleaning to other special procedures. She has always made sure I am feeling comfortable and makes sure to let her know if I feel discomfort.

Dr. Nguyen is an outstanding dentist. She pursues continuing education on a regular basis to ensure that she can provide the best service to her clients. Dr. Nguyen is always pleasant in her daily interactions. I have been a client since 2004, and even though I moved from Menlo Park in 2005, I have continued to rely on Dr. Nguyen for all my dental needs.

Visited Dr Nguyen today for my first time and she's amazing. She walked through everything she was doing as she did it, which I appreciated. And on top of being very professional and knowledgeable, she made the visit more relaxing than I had thought possible of a trip to the dentist. Would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.

This is the best dentist I've ever been to! Dr. Nguyen and her staff are always kind, warm and very welcoming. They are supportive and helpful in every way possible. Dr. Nguyen is an exceptional dentist who you can trust. She really cares about her patients and I highly recommend her! I have been to Dr. Nguyen's office a few times now. For both teeth cleaning as well as root canal and I had the pleasure to receive excellent care. Dr. Nguyen was very quick to resolve my previous issues.

She solved an issue with my tooth that other dentists were not able to. I had a great experience with Dr. Nguyen! Everything feels so well and no pain during or after. Very up to date equipment and techniques! I know that I have found the best dentist for myself and all my family members.

Just had to write when I saw someone imply that Dr. Nguyen advised a procedure, just for the money. Back when I was a Case Manager working with the homeless, Dr. Nguyen saw an article in the newspaper which mentioned one of my clients -- a Vietnam-era Marine Corp Vet -- couldn't get help from the VA for his bad teeth. She contacted the journalist and offered to fix his teeth for Free!

She followed through, too, even though he was cranky, difficult to work with, and some would even find him scary. That beautiful set of teeth helped him get his first job in 27 years! Btw, she was the ONLY dentist who responded to the appeal for help for my client. Thank you, Dr. Nguyen, you are a kind and good person!

Was in town visiting family and had a god awful tooth ache which turned out to be a cavity. Called around to a couple of places and finally came across Menlo Park Dental. They were able to schedule me right away for an exam. First, let me say, thank god for the short wait! My tooth was killing me! At my local dentist I usually wait at least 30 minutes.

I got to Menlo Park and was taken right away. Second, everybody was super professional and friendly. I am not sure what it is but for some reason every dentist I have every gone to typically staffed the rudest and most unprofessional people I have ever met. Once I sat into the dentist chair Dr Chaulong looked my tooth over and immediately got to work!

I was in and out in a flash. I am not sure if technology is just that good or Dr Chaulong is a miracle worker but I hardly felt a thing. Took all of 30 minutes. Wish these guys were down in LA where I live. I would recommend them to anybody. Thank you so much!

I really need a good quality dentist that would be able to provide some quality care for my family and I. I am glad I found Menlo Park Dental Experience because they were everything we were looking for. They have a great facility that is up to date and doesn't feel like the same place that you went when you were a kid, it is extremely cutting edge in terms of there care and procedures.

Extremely friendly staff that really helped us feel at home and we never felt like we were stupid for asking questions. Would definitely recommend giving them a call and taking the time to visit, you won't regret it.
