I initially went to doc for a second opinion after another provider indicated I needed Invisalign. They indicated I risked having my front bottom teeth crumble if I did not get this done. That visit was a very jarring experience for me as I had never had any serious dental concerns or to be advised my teeth placement was incorrect. Following that visit, I became very skeptical of any “necessary” work and nervous about going back to the dentist. Dr.

Chung had requested my X-rays from this previous appointment ahead of time and they did not provide them in a readable format. His dental assistant told me that they would need to do x-rays; Doc and his assistant (unfortunately) became on the receiving end of my concern and frustration that I would be paying to have these X-rays done since my insurance had already been billed from the other provider. They both sympathized where my concern came from. Dr. Chung promised he would do the minimum X-rays needed and I would not be paying for this 2nd round of x-rays as it was his practice and he would eat the cost in necessary.

I never received a charge for those X-rays and his visit saved me $3000-4000 of dental work that was deemed necessary by another provider. He and his staff are warm, kind, and honest. Everytime I am there the other patients (and staff) are jovial—which is quite an oxymoronic statement for a dentist’s office but that must just be the Dr. Chung effect!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Thomas T. Chung for over 10 years, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the care I’ve received. From the moment I walk in, the staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the office environment is always clean and comfortable. Dr. Chung is incredibly skilled and takes the time to explain every procedure in detail, which always puts me at ease.

I’ve had everything from routine cleanings to more complex procedures, and I always leave feeling confident in my treatment. Thanks to Dr. Chung my dental health has improved greatly, and I always trust their judgment. I highly recommend Dr. Thomas T. Chung to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate dentist!”

It's always a pleasure to come see Dr. Chung and his team! My 79-year-old mom is getting a lot of dental work done, and she is always treated with so much love and respect. They always explain what to expect, which makes us so happy to be patients of Dr. Chung.

I myself have been a patient for many years, along with my kids and family. I highly recommend The Teeth People family dentist for all your dental needs.
