PATIENT REVIEWS

First, let’s talk about pain: there was virtually none, during neither the shots nor the procedure. Even though I required shots in the roof of my mouth, which is the most painful shot to get, I barely felt it at all. Of course it was a big fat needle and there was no getting around that, but Dr. Nghiem is very gentle and caring and he knows what he’s doing: a true professional During the procedure he observed me intently during every step of the procedure so as to make sure to stop if he notices me flinch in pain. I felt so safe and relaxed. Also, I never felt the drill. There is nothing whatsoever to fear in his chair. I often feel that dentists don’t take enough time to make sure I’m not feeling anything, but Dr. Nghiem stopped so often to check on me, it almost felt coddling! I felt so cared for and I can say that even more confidently considering I was having him finish the job of another dentist that 1) couldn’t get me numb and 2) didn’t care whether I was numb and seemed annoyed with me for not getting numb. Well, it’s been 2+ years now since getting my two front teeth crowned and they look as beautiful and feel as great as ever. Not one time have I felt like someone was looking at me, questioning whether or not my teeth are real. Nor have experienced any pain, chipping or issues whatsoever. I will update this review as the years go on, but so far so perfect!! Now here’s the REAL proof of Dr. Nghiem’s expertise as a cosmetic dentist: I am currently dating a girl I was previously friends with for 6 months. I didn’t tell her my two front teeth were fake until well after we started dating (8 months after meeting her!). She had no idea. I almost think they look better than my real teeth would. The cosmetic dental technology they have these days is miraculous and Dr. Nghiem is a master with it. Highly recommended !

Our dentist said preparing an upper plate for my elderly mother involved complications that were beyond his capabilities, and he recommended the Center For Dental Excellence. We got a second opinion and the second dentist agreed with both the diagnosis and recommendation. They were both right. The Center Was Excellent! Professional, friendly, thoughtful, and thorough. We received a detailed estimate in advance, and received outstanding craftsmanship and tender care, with final cost below the estimate. We’re not just satisfied clients, we’re friends now.

Excellent customer service, friendly atmosphere and care. Dental hygienist was thorough and made me feel comfortable. Dentist is also nice and personable. Thanks for the suggestion to start using the electronic toothbrush..I have been using it for two weeks and the cleanest my teeth has felt.

My first visit to this office was a very pleasant experience. I needed to have a cracked tooth repaired. I was able to get an appointment for the next day. The office staff were warm and cordial and dental staff professional and encouraging. During my 45 minute procedure I was informed of what was occurring which kept me at ease. The interior is warm and welcoming which eased anxiety. My former doctor just retired and recommended this practice and I’m thankful he did. Excellent . My tooth looks great.

I have gone to ctr for dental excellence for many years now.  After coming from an horrific experience with a previous dentist.  They have always been competent, kind, & helpful.  They are willing to answer your questions about which dental products, toothpaste a particular individual should use – in this case, me. I am in horror of dentists, due to my past dental traumas with other dentists.  However, i still manage to bravely show up for my appointments, and very often get a good check up.  (even though my teeth are not the best)!.  Highly recommend!  I think they realize i am not a calm person, – as i have told them many times- but we still manage to soldier thru my appts!..

The Center for Dental Excellence in both West Hartford and Simsbury are my “go to” dental offices for all my dental needs. The staff is always cordial and the dental professionals are extremely competent and caring. I highly recommend them for any dental work you may need. As a former teacher, each dentist, hygienist, and scheduler gets an A+ in my book!

I actually look forward to my dental appointments at Center for Dental Excellence. Everyone there is professional, caring, and they take the time to explain and educate you on procedures. The office staff is just as wonderful. As busy as they are, no one makes you feel rushed or unimportant. A+++ rating in my book!
