A Smile For Me Dental Care

I went for a smile makeover. Dr. Sara and her assistant Victoria are very professional. I was late for my appointment, they still took me in. Dr. Sara gave the smile I was looking for years. She and Victoria are very gentle and patient. I recommend Dr. Sara Troung to anybody who is looking for great value for a reasonable price.

My kids used her for a few years. I don’t doubt that she can perform dental work (not orthodontia) competently, but I don’t trust her medical ethics, so we stopped using her. Too often there seemed to be some money-​making upsell for services, coatings, scans, etc., that other dentists, orthodontists, and my insurance company, found unnecessary.
For example, Dr. Truong gave a dire warning that my daughter (who still had lots of baby teeth) urgently needed to have baby teeth pulled and orthodontic braces installed because her late-​blooming, underlying, adult-​teeth were being harmed by the baby teeth. (Of course Dr. Truong wanted to perform those $ervice$.) But I took the X-​rays, and my daughter, to TWO other VERY EXPERIENCED orthodontists who both said that was nonsense, and they both strongly recommended waiting to perform any orthodontia until after the adult teeth emerged. So we switched dentists. The new dentist also said that it was nonsense. Years later (after my daughter’s healthy adult teeth emerged) my daughter had orthodontia (Invisalign) and all is fine. But if I had listened to Dr. Truong, it would have cost my family a lot of money, it would have caused my daughter a lot of unnecessary pain, and it may have even been harmful in the long term.
I don’t mind if a dentist offers a pressure-​free upsell for elective teeth-​whitening or orthodontia or something, but I think Dr. Truong pushes the ethical limits of using her trusted status to unnecessarily upsell services with dubious warnings of bad consequences if the services aren’t performed.
Our current dentist (who is very experienced and highly Unilocal-​rated) is the exact opposite. When I asked him about teeth whitening, he said he’d be happy to charge me for it, but store-​bought whiteners would save me money. When I asked him about orthodontia (Invisalign) for my kids, he said that he could do my son but that my daughter’s more complicated case would be better left to an orthodontist. I trust him to do what is best for my family, not what is best for him.

Dr. Sarah and her staff are wonderful. If you are looking for a dentist or an orthodontist this is the place for you.
My daughter went to another orthodontist within a mile from our house. I would take her in and she was out within 5 minutes… what? I had a similar experience with a local dentist… in and out within 30 minutes. How can you properly care for a mouth in less than 30 minutes?
Dr. Sarah takes time to look at your my daughters teeth. Discusses with her areas that need additional attention. She genuinely cares about her patients. She personally sits with parents to discuss options of treatment as well. My daughter has her braces and dental work done with Dr. Sarah. I may have to drive 15 miles to see Dr. Sarah but she is worth the drive!

Have you ever gone to a dentist and you cringe when they are going to give you an anesthesia shot because you know it would be painful and uncomfortable?
Well … not here with Dr. Truong. When she gives you a shot, it is near painless. She takes her time in injecting the medicine and make sure you feel as painless as possible, something that all of my other previous dentists never bothered to do for me. Most of them just wanted the shot injected as fast as possible so they can finish your work and get to the next patient.
Dr. Truong and her staff are very polite and courteous and would not only ask all of the necessary questions, they would also make sure they tell you what is going to happen that day and throughout the procedures while you are there, so you are never just lying there wondering what is coming and how much more work to be done.
If you want a great dentist, look no further.

I’ve always had grayish brown tetracycline colored teeth. I had 6 veneers done when I was a teenager, but it was starting to breakdown and the color was never quite right. When Dr. Truong said she could fix it, I was ecstatic. She gave me the option of redoing just the 6 veneers or to redo a complete smile make over. She has a cosmetic imaging program that showed how I would look with just the 6 veneers or the complete smile makeover. We started to do just the top veneers and crowns. I was so happy with the results I did the bottom as well. I’ve had so many comments on how gorgeous my smile looks from perfect strangers. I’m really glad I had this done. Thank you Dr. Truong, you do beautiful work!
