PATIENT REVIEWS

A good dentist is hard to find. A great dentist even more rare. Customer service is very important to me and Dr. Nguyen and his staff has shown me that it’s their priority too. I am always greeted with a friendly smile and offered a refreshment while I wait. When getting treatment I can watch TV on the ceiling and get lip balm for my dry lips and a blanket for my legs when I feel cold. It’s those small things that impress me. I grind my teeth and they had started shifting so I got Invisalign to correct it and also had my cleanings and cavities taken care of. I can vouch for how gentle and thorough Dr. Nguyen is. The office is very clean and modern with top of the line equipment. The pricing is very reasonable and he doesn’t upsell you for things you don’t need. He’s very caring, thorough and honest. I always feel well taken care of and would definitely recommend him!

Dr. Sean Nguyen has been my dentist for over 8 years.  I, like most people, had a “fear” of dentists and never found one that put my mind at ease.  All that changed when I met Dr. Nguyen.  He has a very gentle, patient oriented approach and ALWAYS takes enough time with me to make sure I’m happy with whatever dental service I am receiving.  He is also the most HONEST dentist I have ever met in my life!  

His workmanship with his dentistry is top notch and he stands by his work.  When I got a veneer, he went outside with me (natural light) with a mirror to make sure the color was exactly to my liking….I was really impressed that he took the extra step to ensure I was happy (I was!).  He also replaced a broken crown for me at no charge that he had done 5 years earlier…no questions asked.  How many dentists would do that?  He is truly an advocate for his patients and does whatever it takes to make them happy.

I live (far) and when I heard that Dr. Nguyen had moved to Lake Forest to start his own practice I was happy for him but sad for me.  Now I’ll have to drive 45 minutes for my check-ups! LOL!  

I  HIGHLY recommend Dr. Nguyen to anyone who is looking for a caring, gentle, highly skilled and honest dentist!  He is truly one of a kind and I am a patient for life!

This is the absolute best experience I’ve ever had with a dentist. Dr. Nguyen is extremely knowledgeable, very kind, patient and understanding. He and his staff go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and your needs are met. He explains everything he is going to do and why it needs to be done.

The last dentist I went to cut corners and the dental appliances they made were poor quality and did not fit right. This ended up causing me serious bone loss. Dr. Nguyen did every step, even redoing one once, to make sure everything was correct. He is an excellent dentist and I highly recommend him! I have already referred my daughter and one of her friends to him.

Dentist Dr Nguyen Is as good as it gets for any dental needs!!  Not only is he highly skilled, he’s also affordable!  AND – he is highly accommodating and helped me out (on very short notice) with a minor dental emergency.  Very cool guy.  :  )

This is also is a truly modern dental office — beautifully designed and NEW very high-tech and impressive.  The dental office staff is friendly and efficient. You can’t ask for more from any dentist in Lake Forest, Irvine, and South Orange County for dentistry.  I am truly appreciative of everything they have done for me and my smile!

I had my regular exam, teeth cleaning, teeth filing , night guards measurement all done in one morning. Each patient room was like movie theater. I get to watch deep sea documentary when they are treating my teeth. They even provide headphone when watching movie. Feel being treated like VIP!!!! Love the service and people here! Great service, great dentist, great dental hygienist/assistant and front desk receptionist.

Lake Forest Modern Dental is an amazing practice with people that truly care about you. My fiancé and I have been going to them since they first opened and they’ve taken care of us since day one. We both have had a lot of dental issues growing up, and have never felt confident in our smiles until coming to Dr, Nguyen and his team. For me personally, I have just had my biggest transformation yet with 5 crowns/veneers to finally take care of years of patchy dental work and weak enamel, and I’ve never been happier with my smile. I feel like a new person!

Also, Christina and the rest of the team are wonderful. Christina has had our backs in helping us navigate insurance troubles, and I know we can go to her for any questions or concerns.

I’ve been terrified of the dentist since I’ve had troubling experiences in the past with my weak teeth, but Dr. Nguyen and his team have made everything easy for me and made sure we are always happy and taken care of. And if you’re still on the fence, they have TV on the ceiling! Fancy and a good distraction if you’re a nervous dentist-goer like me.

My husband and I are both new to the area, and we searched for a dentist that had strong reviews. Today was our first apt, in for a cleaning and exam. Those positive reviews are very well deserved! Probably the best experience yet. Everyone was friendly and professional, and made you feel that your comfort was of top priority. They also had a clean office (that’s a big deal to me), modern equipment, and it was a nice touch to be able to watch something while the cleaning was underway. We had a morning apt with virtually no wait, and we didn’t receive any unwanted pressure for anything (they felt very honest to me). Thank you Dr Nguyen and everyone else that we met with today… 🙂

Such amazing service and helpful!! Made me feel at home and comfortable! I haven’t gone to the dentist In Years and I finally found someone I want to continue with!! I’m very nervous and anxious about having dental work..having needed 2 root canals I had my first one done and it was pain free and went smoothly !!! I am not as nervous now about completing my second! Also this office doesn’t try to upsale you or over charge which was very important to me as well! So far phenomenal service!!

Ok, so it’s been 13 years since I last stepped inside a Dental office. My coworker recommended to check Dr. Nguyen out so I decided to give his office a try and boy am I glad I did! The whole staff is amazing and very friendly I was very impressed with everyone’s professionalism! I love how they offered water and provided me with headphones to watch Netflix while they examined my teeth which made the experience of this visit so much better. Unfortunately I was not able to do the cleaning today and to had to schedule another appointment. But honestly I’m ok with that because Dr. Nguyen was so thorough with his examination that I have confidence he’ll restore my poor teeth back into good health again! I highly recommend everyone to give his office a chance. I’m really looking forward to my next visit. =)

5 stars for sure. The whole team of Dr Sean Nguyen is superb! His staff was amazing! They were really friendly and you could tell that they love what they do. The clinic is modern and really clean. They have a tv on the wall and a tv on the ceiling so you can watch Netflix, etc while having your teeth fixed. Dr Sean is really good. He likes to know your feedback and doesn’t do a sales pitch after listening. You could really tell he is concerned about your teeth and wants to provide excellent service. He explained all the procedure that needs to be done and will consult with you first. I will definitely recommend him to all my friends.

For others who are browsing and still looking for a great dentist, you wouldn’t be disappointed with Dr Sean and his team.

Love this office, If your looking for a place that has modern technology this is it. Janine( hygienist) gave me a pain free cleaning and polishing. My teeth are finally back to being pearly white again, Yay! Thank you!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. Their appointments are very flexible. And are very concerned about causing any pain. Love watching Netflix while they work on my teeth. If any fillings or procedures are needed, they give me a few options.  Great location, and friendly staff.

Dr. Nguyen and his staff are absolutely amazing! I was visiting from Georgia and encountered a dental emergency which necessitated the extraction of 2 teeth. His staff went the extra mile and on short notice I was able to been seen, put on an antibiotic and had further treatment within a few days. As others have commented, the office cleanliness and decor are a further compliment as to why people love this dentist and all the great staff in this office.  It’s no wonder why you see so many 5 Star reviews and I would rate him even higher, if that was possible!

My son and I absolutely love Dr. Nguyen and team! We both have been seeing him for over a year and will continue to do so for many years to come. Thank you for making us feel like family when we come in!

Services are exceptional. Quality of cares and works are excellent. the whole office and staff treats patients as their on family, with utmost care and respect. my family and I we are very rectified!!!!

Dr Nguyen is awesome. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients, his staff is super friendly, very professional with great personalities. Dr Nguyen is not only the best dentist I have ever been to, but also uses state of the art equipment / techniques which enables him to have a better idea on what’s going on with my teeth. I was very impressed with the overall experience & I will definitely be making Dr Nguyen my permanent dentist from now on. A thank you to Dr Nguyen and his great staff for taking good care of my teeth. 😉

I been going to the Lake Forest Modern dentist for over a year now. Everything there is great. They offer AMAZING customer service with the complimentary drinks, Netflix, and pleasant attitudes. At first, the only negative was my first hygienist, Janine, she was very rough and hurt me. Ever since then, I’ve got Casey, who I love! She’s awesome and really cares for me and my dental health. Dr. Nguyen is also very friendly and caring, which is what triggered my interest to continue coming. I also love Christina. She always makes sure everything is good with my insurance, while setting appointments, etc. Overall, im so glad I found this dentist and I don’t think I will find any better. Everything has been great and they deserve the recognition of excellence! Thank you!

Once you walk into this office, you feel the 5 star treatment! Office staff is very welcoming and helpful. Dr. Nguyen is so nice and explains everything in detail making you feel comfortable and relax during the treatments. He did an excellent job with my deep cleaning. This dentist And dental office is very much recommended!

I had a great experience here. I hate going to the dentist and have major anxiety about it. They immediately set my mind at ease. Dr. Sean was patient and compassionate and made me feel comfortable about moving forward with some much needed dental work. The staff is so efficient and knowledgeable. So far I just had a deep cleaning and my teeth look so much better than they have in years! Thank you so much!

(…)I can honestly say that Dr. Nguyen is the most thorough and detail-oriented dentist I have ever visited. I was impressed with how much time he took to perform my exam and go over my treatment options. I felt very confident that he was recommending only what was necessary, as he made a point of telling me what he thought I could do without, or what was too aggressive. He even took the time to come up with a plan of care that would specifically maximize my insurance benefits and save me the most money out-of-pocket. Who does that!? I certainly appreciate the high level of knowledge that Dr. Nguyen brings, as well as his attempts to keep my costs down. The best part of my entire exam experience, however, was that it was completely PAIN-FREE!

I think the word “experience” really sums up my visit best, because that’s what it was. With so many dentists in the local area, it’s the little things that make all of the difference. Dr. Nguyen provides all of his patients with sunglasses to wear in the exam rooms. I never knew what a great idea that was until I was lying in the chair and realized I didn’t have to squint to protect myself from the bright exam lights overhead. Dr. Nguyen also provides his patients with wireless headphones to listen to the TV or music while you are sitting in the chair. Again, a terrific idea to keep you occupied, relaxed, and insulated from any of the other normal sounds in a dental office that you might not want to hear(…)

Can’t say enough good things about Dr. Nguyen, Christina, and the entire staff at Lake Forest Modern Dental. A+ facilities (flat screen TVs and headphones while they work), cutting edge equipment, and a genuine warmth and kindness that you won’t find in many offices. Most importantly, they keep my smile looking it’s best. Dental chickens fear not, you’ll actually look forward to going to the dentist after you visit Lake Forest Modern Dental.

What can I say other than I am so thankful for Dr Sean Nguyen and his wonderful staff at Lake Forest Modern Dental. I called the office today with major tooth pain, they got me in right away. Turns out I needed a referral for a specialist and they were able to get me a same day appointment for a complicated procedure. I am traveling in a day to meet my family back east for Christmas. I am so grateful for Lake Forest Modern Dental. I can’t imagine trying to deal with a complicated situation so far from CA. If you are looking for a dentist, I can’t recommend this practice enough!

Dr. Sean is a very caring dentist. He takes his time and explains what he is doing. He uses modern technology to help you understand by seeing images of your teeth on a computer screen. He makes crowns in his office so I was able to leave with my new crowns in place with no need for a follow-up visit. I highly recommend Dr. Sean Nguyen and his friendly staff.

Best dentist and dental staff ever! From the front of the house to the back, Lake Forest Modern Dental could not be any better. The office is state of the art, clean, and welcoming, and Dr. Nguyen is thorough, gentle, and really takes your feedback into consideration. My husband and I were desperate for a new dentist after years of being unhappy with “salesy”, pushy dentists and offices and we are so lucky to have been referred here.

This is the best dentist office that I have ever been too. The staff is awesome. The doctor is knowledgeable in every part of dentistry.  The whole office explains everything to you before they do it. I had deep scale cleaning done with laser cleaning below gum line. Absolutely no pain at all. TV’s on wall and ceiling so you can watch Netflix, HBO. State of the art modern equipment. Love this place 5 stars.

Dr. Nguyen has steady, mechanical hands and fingers like those of a pianist (…) Christina in reception is the nicest person you’ll ever meet and goes above and beyond to accommodate. These people are genuine and serious about customer service. I drive 2 hours from my house to have work done at this location. I had an emergency and this dude answered the phone on the golf course, then came in on his day off to help me, ….above and beyond.

I loved every second of it. The doctor is extremely knowledgeable, professional and very honest. The hygienist specialist that cleaned my teeth is my absolute favorite of all specialists I have ever seen.
The office is super clean and gorgeous.
I would travel hours to see this team!!!
Thank you very much, I am looking forward to my next visi

I had a filling come out of my tooth unexpectedly and it needed attention right away. I am also in my third trimester of pregnancy. I called Dr. Nguyen (the location is near my house and I previously saw a sign that said accepting new patients) and he told me to come in that same day. It was my very first time visiting the office. The receptionist was very friendly and offered water, juice, coffee or tea. The check in was very quick and I didn’t have to fill out a ton of new patient paperwork. I got back right away and the staff in the back was just as welcoming and friendly and called me by name and even put on Netflix for me to watch. Dr Nguyen came in and introduced himself and did a visual exam and told me exactly what to expect during my visit. He was very attentive and knowledgeable and really took his time to make sure I was comfortable. I will most definitely be back after my little one is born to get X-rays and a cleaning etc. I have finally found a wonderful dentist that I can make my primary. I am also making an apt for my husband right away. Thank you Dr Nguyen and staff for your amazing care today!

Love!!! Too many great things to say! Nice! Friendly! Clean! New and up to date equipment! Same day crown! Dentist really does care about you and your teeth. Friendly staff and welcoming environment.
Thank you! ���

Outstanding customer service, top of the line equipment and very honest. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

Dr. Sean is a very caring dentist. He takes his time and explains what he is doing. He uses modern technology to help you understand by showing images of your teeth on a computer screen. He makes crowns in his office so you can leave with your new crowns in place with no need to come back for a follow-up visit. Having the TV screen with Netflix on the ceiling so you can watch while having your dental work is a nice touch!

I went to see Dr. Sean Nguyen to get a routine teeth cleaning and was amazed on the detail of care I received from walking in the door. The office itself is brand new and has a warm stylish decor(…) I called on a Monday for an appointment and had plenty of openings as early as the next day! The receptionist was nice and sweet when setting up my appointment as well as making me feel comfortable in the waiting room.

The level of care and knowledgeable information that Dr. Nguyen shared with me was awesome. He was very informative and professional in explaining what he was doing and what he recommend me do if I wanted to fix my chipped tooth. I never felt any pressure to do anything extra, but the honest feedback and recommendations was refreshing. Thanks Dr. Sean!

Dr. Nguyen and his staff are awesome! I haven’t  seen the dentist in about ten years until I visited this office and I am glad I did. I dreaded going to get my teeth check due to several traumatic experiences I had as a child. Due to my lack of dental care and my extreme anxiety led me to gum disease and bone loss. Never neglect your teeth. After coming for a general check up meeting Christiana, Bobby and Dr. Nguyen I was sold. They never for a moment make you feel less or belittled at all. My second visit was a deep cleaning performed by Kristine and she is really gentle and patient. Yesterday I had extractions perform by the Dr. He made the whole process such an ease. I will definitely remain a loyal patient. If you have a financial situation they will definitely work with you as much as possible. If you have gone through a bad batch of dental offices don’t be discouraged any longer and visit Lake Forest Modern Dental.

Sean Nguyen has been the best I’ve ever had.  He’s been professional and honest and definitely gone the extra mile for me.  The entire staff is very friendly and work well to make things accommodating.  It’s been almost a year since I’ve been coming and the office is very clean and brand new.  The equipment is state of the art and taking X-rays are quick and easy as well as digital which you can see while in the chair.

There are a lot of amenities that help make the experience comfortable such as streaming Netflix shows and TVs locates both in front and on the ceiling to enjoy during your stay.  I am offered some beverages whenever I come in which is a nice touch.

The most important part was that the dental work and maintenance gave me very active role in taking care of my teeth and I can’t say enough about how happy I am with this office!

(…)When I got there, my nerves were all over the place. Dr. Nguyen took his time with me. Made sure that I was as comfortable as I could be. His assistant, Taylor, was wonderful as well. I had a few moments where my anxiety got the best of me and she was so patient. After my xrays, Dr. Nguyen gave me the rundown of the results. I knew that if i didn’t take care of some of the procedures that day, I would postpone them as far as I could. He understood and was able to execute some of the procedures that I needed done. During my time there (about 3 hours), I had waves of anxiousness but the whole team was wonderful and made me feel less anxious.

I made another appointment to finish up the rest about a week and a half later. I did, however, call with the intent to postpone. Partly because I got scared again but mainly because I didn’t have the funds available at the time. I don’t have dental insurance so the first visit was straight out of pocket and set me back a bit. But I was informed by the other receptionist, Christina, of the available payment options and it really helped me out. She also told me her personal story about her fear of the dentist. I am not alone ! Haha! So because of her, I made it to my originally scheduled appointment. Dr. Nguyen and his team again really helped me with my nerves and everything went great.

I truly believe that for the first time, I will be going to the dentist regularly. As long as I get to see Dr. Nguyen and his team.

So thank you so much for helping me through my lifelong fear of the scary dental office! See you guys on my next scheduled cleaning!
