Dr. Chen has truly made an amazing impact on my life by resting my smile. My complex implant journey was made possible and successful by Dr. Chen, as other surgeons said It was impossible. He took my case as a challenge and proved to be a master of perfection, compassionate and truly the best dentist/surgeon ever. In addition, the entire office staff were supportive and caring throughout the entire process.
I thank Dr. Chen and his staff from the bottom of my heart for giving me an even more perfect smile:-)

My family has been patients for Dr. Chen for the past 8 years since the office was in Tustin. I was looking for a second opinion when my previous dentist recommended more and more procedures. We were very pleased with the service and professionalism received from the staff. Dr. Chen is very thorough and always takes the time to explain to us about the diagnosis and treatment. It turned out I actually don’t need that extra crown. My son was comfortable with the treatment that he did not gag, which was unusual for him. Just want to share my thoughts.

I started seeing Dr. Chen in 2015. I had a few cavities and a mouth full of silver mercury fillings that needed to be removed. I’m not a huge fan of seeing the dentist in general, but from the moment I walked into the office all my nerves were put at ease. The office is beautiful and relaxing and the front office staff are pleasant and inviting. Dr. Chen did a fantastic job at bringing my mouth back to health and with his calm demeanor I was able to withstand the hours of work that needed to be done. I highly recommend Dr. Chen and wish I had found him sooner!

I usually don’t leave reviews, but thought this dentist is worthy of praise. I was referred to Dr. Chen by my husband who has been a patient for many years. I’ve been very pleased with my experience so far and I have to say Dr. Chen is one of the best dentists I’ve ever had. He really takes the time to explain his treatment and makes you feel at ease. His attention to detail is remarkable. His dental hygienist is also very knowledgeable and gentle. His staff is very friendly and welcoming. 5 stars for sure

I have suffered my whole life with crippling dental anxiety. Like many people, my fear stemmed from a bad experience as a child with a rough dentist, and a terrible experience as a young adult. As a result, I avoided dental exams for 10 years. It was the referral of a friend, and tooth decay that could no longer be ignored that led me to Dr. Chen. I was terrified and needed to be medicated to even go through with the first round of repairs to my tooth. However, Dr. Chen’s warm personality, humor, and sensitivity to my fears allowed to me relax and feel comfortable with him. He completed my crown beautifully and I am proud to say that my following cleaning was done with zero medication! My heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Dr. Chen and staff for making me feel like family.

I want to thank Dr. Chen and staff on being so friendly and reassuring during the process of my dental implants. I was hesitant to smile because I did not like the way my front teeth looked, now I can’t stop smiling!!! Having nice teeth really does improve a person’s self esteem. You guys are the best!!!!!

I personally have been going to Dr Chen for 10 years! My husband and daughter go to Canyon Dentistry as well. Dr Chen is highly skilled, kind and ethical. He is conservative and I trust all of his treatment diagnoses. His office is clean and very well kept and the staff is like a family. They help you with insurance questions and work hard to schedule your cleanings at convenient times. Thank GOD for this office. We have peace of mind when it comes to our dental health because of Dr Chen and his staff!

Dr. Chen & The Canyon Dentistry Team provide outstanding service. They put you at ease the moment you set foot into the office. The exam was thorough and comprehensive and unhurried. Dr. Chen appears to take care of patients one at a time, and I did not feel rushed. His technique is outstanding resulting in a minimum of discomfort, the right amount of anesthetic, with no need to return for adjustments to the fillings done. The oral hygienist was just as caring and took her time to clean and descale my entire mouth.
Lastly, Dr. Chen took the time to listen to my needs and did not pressure to upsell any procedures I was not interested in. My whole experience from beginning to end was outstanding and I do not hesitate to recommend Canyon Dentistry to anyone.

Dr. Chen and his staff are the absolute BEST! They handle difficult insurance situations, and are so friendly and gentle. Dr. Chen replaced a filling for me today and I am a big baby with sensitive teeth. They gave me headphones and sunglasses and plenty of numbing and reassurance and i didn’t feel a thing! I can’t say enough about how much I love them!

I was having so much worries and fear about my wisdom tooth extraction, since many dentists I’ve seen didn’t give me any comfort or confidence about how this could be done. Through a recommendation, I went to Dr. Chen’s office to get a second opinion. The office staff and nurse were very nice and professional, the office was clean and neat, I was especially impressed by the soothing music and the calming atmosphere. Dr. Chen, gave me a thorough evaluation and gave me detail explanation about how to remove my partially covered and tilted wisdom tooth. I was really relieved and pleased that the procedure went smoothly and successfully, much better than I expected. Good dentists are not easy to come by, and Dr. Chen is definitely one of the better ones!

(…)Dr. Chen filled my cavities back in July and I have noticed no problems whatsoever. In fact, he actually inspired me to take better care of my teeth. I came back today for a 6 mo check up and noticed the same quality of treatment from my first appointment. Sarah (technician) is such a sweetheart and really gets to know me and make me feel less awkward (because how do you really feel that comfortable when someone is digging into your teeth two inches away from you?!). After leaving I feel my teeth are super clean and shiny. Thank you guys!

I saw Dr. Chen for a crown placement and fillings, and was astounded by the service that he and his staff provided. They really make you feel at home, and are extremely detail-oriented and caring. Dr. Chen himself is charming and skilled, and really goes the extra mile to make sure his patients are comfortable; my procedures went flawlessly, and he even rush-ordered my crown in a week(!) when I was on a tight schedule when every other place refused to do it in less than two. He even took the time to personally call me after my appointment to address some of my other dental concerns. If you can’t tell already, I highly recommend Dr. Chen for any dental needs.

Dr. Chen & The Canyon Dentistry Team are the very best! Going to the dentist can be intimidating and stressful making it easy to put off. The team at Canyon dentistry makes it so easy and are warm and welcoming you’ll never dread going to the dentist again. They are accommodating to difficult schedules and understanding of all their patients needs… it really is the best place out there!!

Dr. Chen is one of THE best dentists I have been to. His staff guided me through the whole process of what I needed for my teeth. Dr. Chen was very thorough with my cleaning and crowns. I have been with Dr. Chen for 10 years and I would not change a thing about his services. His prices are about right which in this economy is a god-send.

Dr. Chen does great work. He has been my dentist for over 15 years. I am always happy to visit his office and the entire staff is friendly and very helpful. They are honest with referrals and give good advice. I have a lot of dental work done and he always uses high quality products and the newest technology available. I would recommend him to anyone.

I’ve been going to Dr. Chen for over 20 years and he has done an exceptional job at evolving and helping me keep my teeth healthy. His entire staff is super helpful and a pleasure to talk to each time I visit. I recently saw him and he ended up doing two fillings at the same time instead of making me come back, because there was an old filling that was leaking and had decay which needed to be removed. His attention to detail and willingness to do the right thing is much appreciated. He is a great dentist that knows what he is doing!

I love Dr. Chen!!! My family and I have been going with him for more than 15 years. He knows exactly what he’s doing. You can count on him and his staff to be precise, friendly and more than anything professional. I love this location too, by the way. Thank you Dr. Chen!!

I was initially referred to Dr Chen by a friend about a year ago and I have nothing but high marks for him and his staff. He is an excellent dentist who is very caring and takes the time to talk with me and explain the details of all the work on my teeth. He uses a tiny camera to show me the existing problem, fixes it, and again takes a picture of his completed work. I have never had a dentist use this technology and he has all the state of art equipment. He and his staff are extremely professional and I will say they are the complete package when it comes to his expertise and staff customer service. And, you will not be sitting in the waiting room with multiple patients. Every appointment I have made’ to date, I never had to wait more than ten minutes. I have seen many dentists in my lifetime and I won’t hesitate to say he and his staff are the best.

I have been a patient of Dr. Chen for the last 15 years, During these years Dr. Chen had performed the extraction, root canal, filling, crown, bridges and implant for me. Every dental visit has been a pleasant experience, the dental assistance and front desk staff are both caring and professional, you are treated like family.
Every treatment he gave me a complete explanation and provided me the picture before and after of each treatment. He is a top notch dentist with very best skills and knowledge and always up to date on the latest technology, tools and techniques .
I highly recommend to any one who is looking for the very best dentist and dental service.

I would highly recommend Dr. Chen. I was referred to him in an emergency situation when a crown broke and my dentist couldn’t get me for over a week. Dr. Chen worked me into his schedule the next day and not only did I get a better crown, even the temporary was great. I have been with him for years ever since. He is very compassionate and knowledgeable. Dr. Chen clearly and patiently explains what needs to be done and why. There is never pressure to have work done but he is is clear when he feels something needs to be taken care of immediately or if it can wait. He is very calming, gentle and precise. The whole office staff from the moment you walk in, is friendly and welcoming, efficient and competent. The scheduling is amazing and there is never a wait longer than a few minutes or a crowded waiting room. My dental hygienist is also very gentle and does an excellent job! So glad I found Dr. Chen’s office! and I have a dentist I have confidence in.

(…)Dr. Chen is Absolutely amazing!!!
I’m pretty sure he’s better than all of the other dentist put together. I needed a lot of work done. No pain!
And perfect everything else.
Dr. Chen is a very patient perfectionist.
Then there is Peggy and Dawn. They are beyond super nice and friendly. They’ve always treated me like I was part of their family!

Dr. Chen is the best dentist I ever have. He is very gentle, knowledgeable, professional and experienced. He has all the quality to be a best dentist.

He did three implants for me and keeps my tooth healthy with regular check-ups preventing any problem to happen. He has been our family’s dentist for more than 20 years. I highly recommend him to anyone.

I have been going to Canyon Dentistry for several years and love the way the staff makes me feel so comfortable and relaxed! Dr Chen is very professional and personable and does an excellent job. The front end staff is knowledgeable and efficient and the hygienist is gentle yet does a very thorough job. I used to be anxious before each dental visit but after going here for three years I am no longer scared. Canyon Dentistry is the best!

I was referred to Dr. Chen by friends. I decided to give it a try and we’ve been with Dr. Chen for almost 7 years. Dr. Chen is perfectionist. He takes time to show you what happen to your teeth, what are the solutions. He has the most high tech tools I’ve ever seen. He shows me the before, during, and after the treatment. My whole family goes to him now. We enjoy going there because Dr. Michael makes sure that we are very comfortable during all the procedures. The staffs are very professional and friendly. Going there make me feel like visiting old friends. Both my husband and I had dental implant from Dr. Chen, I had to say, the experience is great, I didn’t suffer much. My tooth is perfect and I can eat almost anything I want. I just can’t say enough how great this place is. What I can say is I don’t have to search for dentist any more.

Friendly staff that is so friendly and makes you feel comfortable whenever you are there. Dr. Chen filled in my cavity today and I didn’t feel a thing! During the whole procedure, he kept me up to date on exactly what he was doing while even taking pictures of my cavity before and after so that I could see the work he had done.I can’t even tell there is a filling in there! He is wonderful! Thanks Dr. Chen and staff!

I’ve been going to Dr. Chen for about 5 years now and I highly recommend Dr. Chen and his staff. The quality of care he provides is excellent. I’ve had two dental implants a few years back and have been going to his office ever since. He really explained the procedure and was just very professional, but also a very nice guy at the same time. When I’m just in for a cleaning he’ll pop his head in and take a look at the implants just to see how they are doing. You can tell he really cares about his patients. I feel like more than any other dental or medical office I’ve been to that they are by far the best, int terms of both care you’ll receive and professionalism. The staff is very friendly also. Peggy is very helpful at the front desk. I’m not really a fan of going to the dentist in general but going to Dr. Chen has changed that for me. Big fan of this office!

My husband and I have been with Dr. Chen 20 plus years…..since 1999. We couldn’t be more happier. We followed Dr. Chen to his new location in Irvine. The office is awesome! When you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm and cozy. THIS IS LONG OVERDUE!!
Dr. Chen is just simply amazing! He’s professional, perfectionist and shows genuinely cares about his clients. He explains to you the procedure in great detailed with pictures before and after your treatment.
And his staff, Sara(Hygienist-retired), Peggy, Megan and Dawn are professional and super friendly. They’re always attentive to your questions or concerns.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED DR. CHEN!!!!!

Dr Chen is the most detailed and compassionate dentist out there. It took me awhile to find him again after he did a fantastic job over 10 years ago. I am glad to have him replace a chipped crown with the latest and greatest material available in the market. Workmanship trumps any dentist out there! Megan and Dawn are both professional and a joy to work with. I rate them 6 stars out of 5.

I’m so glad I found Dr. Chen’s office after searching for a new dentist. My prior cavity fillings were deteriorating, and Dr. Chen and Dawn did a wonderful job repairing them. They’re very thorough, explaining everything clearly and attentive to keeping you comfortable. I also like seeing the before and after pictures they take when I have cavities filled. I get to see just how bad my cavities are and how perfect my teeth look afterwards. This past week, I needed a cavity filled but couldn’t use pain medication. Dr. Chen used his (recently upgraded) laser machine to clean up the cavity, no needles/pain meds needed!!
Beyond taking great care of my teeth (I also get my teeth cleaned here), everyone here is very friendly and caring, making each visit a great experience. I wished I had changed dentists earlier!

My husband & I started going to Canyon Dentistry about one year ago. We are both extremely impressed by the the skill and integrity of Dr. Chen. He is by far, the most knowledgeable, talented, and ethical dentist we have ever been to. His entire staff is impressive, as well. We are always very happy with our regular teeth cleanings and check-up appointments. The front desk staff is also very friendly and they do their best to accommodate your needs and make you feel comfortable! If you are looking for a dentist, I would highly recommend Dr. Chen from Canyon Dentistry!

Fantastic Dentist. This is my third attempt at finding just the right dentist. I moved from Kentucky 2 years ago and all the dentist before Canyon seemed to rush through my cleanings to get to a sales pitch on all the work I could have done. Not Canyon. They cared about me and did not push me into anything. Thanks Canyon Dentistry, Dr. Chen and his friendly staff!!!

I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Chen on the internet for my dental implants. After “shopping” at several other dental practices, I felt comfortable immediately with Dr. Chen, he listened to me, answered my questions and shared a great deal of knowledge with me. I was not pressured at all, unlike every other office I visited. This office has all the latest technology and is extremely clean and peaceful. I found the staff professional, friendly and competent which gave me assurance to go forward. I have had my implants now for 4 months and am so thrilled with their look and how my ability to eat has improved. Thanks, Dr. Chen!
