PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr Ahn and her team have been amazing.  They have worked with my schedule patiently (thank you Joyce) as I travel quite a ways to see them.  Dr Ahn came highly recommended by a respected friend of mine.  I came to her because I was suffering with a bad case of TMJ.  She has been careful and diligent with coming up with the right treatment plan.  I am a singer, so my jaw health is very important to me.  Her technician, Luis, who has done a lot of the impressions and  laser treatments on me has been both kind and caring.  The minute I put in my first appliance I felt relief and it felt like a miracle.  I still have a little ways to go, but I am very grateful for the wonderful care.

Absolutely amazing place! Been going better for years. Very professional staff and cutting edge technology. This place is second to none. Props to Dr Ahn and Dr Chad for being very professional yet caring.

Dr. Ahn and staff did an excellent job with me on my problem tooth, which due to another’s dentist poor workmanship when he did a root canal, led to a broken tooth and a lot of discomfort and swelling. I consulted with Dr. Ahn, Dr. Chad, and Dr. King and all looked at every possibility of saving the tooth but due to the damage concurred that the tooth would have to be removed and then I had the choice of putting an implant. I was shocked at the news of removing a tooth since I’ve never had this done before and frankly I don’t even enjoy simple dental procedures. On the day of the removal I was prepared for the worst, expecting some degrees of pain and discomfort, but to my surprise Dr. King was very skillful on the removal of the tooth and in a short amount of time announced that the tooth was out and he was going to put a protective covering around the area. I went home and took one Tylenol before I had my meal and that was it, no pain, and even better -no pain pills needed. I’m very grateful for Dr. Ahn and all her staff that are highly professional and friendly, and I have recommended my own family members to her practice

I have a fear of going to the dentist in general.  Dr. Anh and her crew makes me feel comfortable during all my exam.  Dr. Anh is always cheery and cares about my dental needs.  She never recommends work  on my teeth that if it’s not necessary, very honest dentist.  My hygienist is Kelly Tran.  She is wonderful!, she is gentle on my cleaning and always remember my teeth matters, even though I only visit the office every 6-8 month.  If you’re looking for a dentist office that provides great service and is welcoming, I recommend Impression Dental Care.

Love it where I’m given the best care and treatment! Dr. Katherine Ahn is thorough and meticulous about her work and it shows. I feel confident in my smile now ❤️

Dr. Ahn and her team have the patience of Saints, let me tell you!  It was a long process getting my new front teeth.  Although I really wanted them for Christmas it was worth the wait.  She persevered through my rants about how things hurt and even though it was just me being difficult she never gave up.  I had broken an old root canal and decided to have both of my front teeth removed, replaced with implants and recapped with high-end cosmetic crowns.  What a pain in the a$$ for me however it was all worth it.  I have had crowns on my front teeth since I was 11 years old and these are by far the best I have ever had the pleasure of looking at in the mirror.  Frontier Dental Lab did the work and I went up there personally for custom shading and fitting.  It was however the diligence of the all the people at Impression that made 18 months of surgery, healing, temporary partials, temporary crowns and me griping a lot, worth it.  I can now smile with pride at what I see.  They even fooled my orthodontist when I went in to get a new upper retainer fitted.  She was stunned when she realized that it was the fronts not something else that were new.  Wow, that is a statement in itself.  I originally went to this office because they practice dentistry using IAOMT protocols for removing amalgam fillings without you ingesting or inhaling the mercury from them.  I really did not feel like poisoning myself with that toxic waste and their procedures, although much more time consuming, prevented that.  I was in the chair all day with Dr. Morley replacing them with composite and it was worth it.  If you do not know anything about IAOMT here is a link to their website.  iaomt.org  It will tell you why dental offices like Impression are a much better option than going to a traditional dentist for removing mercury fillings.  Now for the funny part.  So along with a link to this review I am also sending Dr. Ahn a picture and posted it here as well (see attached) of me putting my new teeth to good use.  I have an interesting hobby which I could not do with the plastic temporaries in my mouth.  Yea, now I can.  

I recently just changed dentist, I was referred to Dr. Anh by a close friend.  Came in to get my teeth cleaned and I was given the best service.  Don’t get me wrong, my last dentist was great, but he retired.  Dr. Anh was up to my expectation, she was very sweet and is a true professional.  The office is very modern, they have TV’s so you can watch a movie as you get your teeth worked on which is a nice convenience. The staff is excellent and super friendly. And the location is great, next to 24 hour fitness and a shopping center!

My son started treatment with Dr. Ahn 8 months ago! Like most kids, my son was bottle fed. As a result, his palate and jaw were extremely under developed. Before expansion, all of his teeth were so close together, making it hard to keep clean and he had no room for permanent teeth to come in properly. Flossing a 2 year old was not easy or fun for either of us! Poor kid had cavities before he was three years old and they were all in between his teeth where food would get trapped. His palate was very high and his lower front teeth were crowded. Dr. Ahn recommended expansion using an ALF appliance, which is a thin wire that goes along the inside of my sons teeth, as well as a Myobrace with myofunctional exercises. Dr. Ahn explained to us that my sons mouth is under developed because he used a bottle and a pacifier instead of being breast fed. Bottles and pacifiers don’t allow the tongue to swallow correctly. His tongue should have acted as a natural retainer while resting on the roof of his mouth, allowing his palate to grow horizontally, instead of vertically causing his high palate. His is currently expanded to his full potential as a 5 year old and we are just waiting for permanent teeth!! Dr. Ahn is so knowledgeable, so sweet and really great with kids!

Everyone at the office has been great! Dr. Ahn is knowledgeable and patient, she takes time to explain everything and answer all questions. Joyce is very helpful with insurance questions and Brittany is fabulous!

Love love love Dr. Ahn! She’s completely helped my TMJ and migraines. You pay a package cost up front, but she is meticulous and dedicated to the highest standard of care. She has spent so much time with me adjusting my care and getting me to a migraine free life. You are in AMAZING hands if she is your dentist. She really cares about your health and approaches TMJ/TMD from a holistic perspective to get you to your healthiest. Highly recommend!

Dr. Ahn is really the best dentist. I’ve been coming here since I was in high school, and the service here is something you won’t get elsewhere. Also, Dr. Ahn really knows how to treat her patients well with a caring heart. I highly recommend this place!

My experience with Impression Dental Care, Dr Ahn and the entire staff was exceptional. I am very fearful of the dentist and have a complex situation. I was giving a treatment plan that included better options for my bite and better breathing. While I am never prepared to spend money I understand that her treatment plan is what I needed. It is a long journey but one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Dr. Katherine Ahn is amazing. She combines the best and latest technology with a kind, gentle manner, while including a whole body approach to improving a patient’s health. She is absolutely dedicated to her profession and her patients. She and her staff take the time for proper dentistry which has improved our overall health. Our family has been with Impression Dental Care for nearly twenty years and continue to benefit from Dr. Ahn and her wonderful staff. Bravo!

I found Dr. Ahn’s office through New Beauty magazine! I have been dealing with TMD pain and clenching my teeth for about 20 years. Since my son was getting married in August, I decided I wanted to do something about it and have my mouth fully reconstructed. Dr. Ahn listened to all of my concerns that I’ve been having this last 20 years and understood just how to help me get to where I need to be! My teeth were severely worn down from clenching and grinding, so Dr. Ahn introduced me to one of her associates, Dr. King to prep my entire mouth with temporary crowns. He did an amazing job and I have never felt better, breathed better or slept better! I couldn’t have been happier with the way my teeth looked for my sons wedding!!

I love this dentist office Dr Katherine Ahn and her stuff are amazing. My son has autism so it’s hard for him to sit still for a long time so they take breaks and they always make sure he is comfortable. They have so much patience for him. I love this place I highly recommend this dentist they are amazing.

As always – the kindest and most compassionate care by Dr. Anh and Kelly. If you’ve never been and are wondering, don’t hesitate to go because the entire staff is kind and wonderful!!

Dr. Anh and her staff are amazing. They are genuinely engaged in your treatment and care. Dr. Anh’s approach to creating a beautiful smile is both innovative and holistic. I feel very lucky to have found such a knowledgable doctor that also cares as deeply for her patients.

I highly recommend Impression Dental Care to anyone looking to improve their smile, whether or not you are considering regular cleanings, orthodontics, or cosmetic dentistry. I never regularly visited a dentist until I consulted Dr. Ahn in 2012 on the recommendation of my sister. I had an extreme case of Class III Malocclusion that was partially hereditary and exasperated by a tongue thrust (reverse swallow) I had since childhood. My mouth correction included: wisdom teeth extractions, rapid palatal expansion, frenectomy, metal braces, tongue thrust speech therapy, myofunctional therapy, gum contouring, and porcelain and resin veneers. For five long years (worth it) I visited every 2-6 weeks to check progress, make adjustments, and discuss options. It was a long journey that lead to successful orthodontic correction WITHOUT SURGERY (which would have been detrimental to my time-demanding career). Probably the most stand-out trait of Dr. Ahn is how passionate she is about her craft. She takes pride in continuously learning new techniques and technology in dentistry and connecting with other renowned professionals in the industry. Through Dr. Ahn, I was connected with excellent surgical specialists (for the wisdom teeth extractions and frenectomy) and speech pathologists (for the tongue thrust therapy) that assisted in my case. Dr. Ahn is meticulous to nearly a fault, where she may spend too much time with you as a patient, leaving another waiting a bit longer for their appointment. Rest assured that the patience is rewarded with excellent service from the doctor and an excellent staff to support her. They are all friendly, accommodating, and receptive to answering questions. (Kelly for sure goes above and beyond to ensure your visit is a great experience). The staff always considers my opinion and thoroughly explains processes and procedures. Their office is very clean and comfortable. And for patients with long operations, they have VR headsets or floor-facing TV’s for entertainment.

I love love impression dental! I’ve been coming here since earlier this year to get porcelain veneers done by Dr. Anh. I’ve been following her work for as long as I can remember and fell in love with it. I told myself when I get my veneers done, I will go see dr Anh. She’s amazing! Everyone that works there is great as well. Kelly and Brittany are very nice and friendly. They make me feel comfortable through every procedure I went through. Rose always make sure I remember my appointments by calling to remind me. She’s so sweet! Overall, this is my favorite place to go to for any work done with my teeth. When it comes to my teeth, I can honestly say i trust impression dental to get the work done!

The doctors and the staffs at Impression Dental Care are top-rated, very customer-oriented, and very professional. Our family have been going here for years and is very pleased with the service that they provide.

Originally called in for a sleep study consult but ended up with the most forward, concise, and touching care for my dental needs. Dr Ahn is the first dentist outside of my original pedriatric dentist that I’ve seen. From the dental assitants to the staff. I just felt very cared for. Huge shout out to Kelly. She has the softest touch. Can’t wait for the before and after pictures that ill upload in a bit. Thank guys, you guys are the best.
