Lifeworks Dental

Practice Profile Page

Upon entering Lifeworks Dental I knew I was in for a treat. Instead of sitting and waiting for what seems like hours on end, I was brought to the back almost immediately to an open dental chair. The dental assistants were quick to do my x-rays, friendly, and seemed very thorough in their work. From there, the dental hygienist, Tish, came in to do my cleaning and you can honestly tell that she loves her work. I think she may be the hidden gem of this facility. She was extremely meticulous and even remembered the little things that we had talked about or gone over in our last visit. I have never had a more all-encompassing dental cleaning and afterwards my teeth felt squeaky clean. Afterwards, the dentist came in to counsel me on the state of my teeth. Medical professionals can sometimes be intimidating and standoffish but they could not have been more friendly and receptive. This is where they would discuss different treatment options if needed. Finding a good dental office is almost always luck of the draw and, from my experience, I’ve had more bad dentists than I can count. After finding Lifeworks Dental, I think I’ve found my dentist for life.

Awesome dentist that provides great quality and friendly service. I just got done with my little over 1 year Invisalign treatment with Dr. Tran, and I only have great things to say. Throughout the whole treatment process, Dr. Tran provided meticulous dental service to ensure we got the best results possible. Never once did I question his judgement and fully put my trust in his abilities. I’ve also gotten my teeth cleaned and a tooth extracted from Dr. Tran in the past, and he’s always done a great job. I’ve been traumatized by dentists in the past (with painful treatment of cavities as a child) so I would always cringe at the thought of making a visit. But all of the procedures with Dr. Tran have been painless and seamless making it even a pleasure to go to my routine checkups. I highly recommend Dr. Tran and Dr. Nguyen (who worked with my fiancé and can vouch for being provided the same quality of service) for any of your dental needs.

I originally chose Lifeworks Dental for my dental care because of all the great reviews, and I’m glad I did because they don’t disappoint. Dr. Tran is a highly knowledgeable, competent professional who not only met but exceeded all my expectations. I feel he is really concerned about my dental care and is looking out for my best interests. You’re not just another number to him. Indeed, the thing that sets both him and his team apart from other dental clinics is that they genuinely care about their patients and their dental health. From the smile that greets you by the front desk receptionists, to the meticulous care given by the dental hygienists, your comfort and satisfaction is their top priority. Their office is clean and the dental equipment is state of the art. My wife sees Dr. Nguyen, and has nothing but good things to say about her and trusts her with all her dental care. I highly recommend Lifeworks Dental to anybody wanting quality dental care. When you go there you’ll discover that you’re not just a patient, you’re family!

My husband and I have been patients at Lifeworks Dental for over 4 years now. Dr. Nguyen and Dr. Tran are the best dentist we ever had. Their service is impeccable. They are personable and knowledgeable. I also didn’t feel like they were doing unnecessary work on my teeth. The staff is very polite and helpful. They truly care about their patients. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great dentist. Overall this office is very efficient.

I’ve never been a fan of going to the dentist growing up. Why? Because it was painful and nerve wrecking. Every time I went in for a routine check up, my gums would be bleeding from the brutal cleaning. However, I didn’t have this problem when I came here. They were actually gentle, but precise. Also, they were courtesy enough to make sure I was okay and if there was any sensitivity during the cleaning. Initially, when I came in I was greeted with a warm welcome. The entire staff took the time to remember my name. It made me felt more than just another face in the crowd that typically comes to visit a dentist. The majority of my paperwork was taking care of so I didn’t have to sit there filling it out. They took the time to fill it out beforehand so that all I had to do was confirm and make sure that all my personal and insurance information was correct. I’ve considered getting Invisalign and they took the time to explain in detail to me the procedure, how long it would take, and the cost of the process. I’m looking forward to having fabulous teeth!

I’ve been coming to Lifeworks Dental for about a year now. Have had both Dr Nguyen and Dr Tran provide services. These are the best dentists, hands down. I originally found Lifeworks Dental on Yelp, and it was all the rage. After verifying with Angelica that my insurance would be accepted, we scheduled a cleaning and checkup. Dr Tran was very considerate and explained every step of the process. As part of the checkup, he also identified any additional work that should be addressed – cavities and other repairs. The cleaning and checkup went so well I then proceeded to schedule fillings, a new cap, and molar extraction. Over the next several visits, Dr Tran patiently and painlessly took care of all of the dental procedures with the exception of the molar extraction. Dr Nguyen was the one who performed the molar extraction. Again, thoughtful attention was given to the procedure. It was not rushed, and Dr Nguyen did a great job of talking me through the process as she was taking each step. I’ve now begun Invisalign treatment here at Lifeworks and can’t wait to see how well the results play out over the next year. The things that stand out about Lifeworks Dental are the following: – it’s a family practice and they make you feel like part of the family – the Dr’s explain each step of the process and Angelica explains any costs prior to starting anything – the Dr’s take your comfort and dental health personally. It’s not uncommon for them to go out of their way to ensure you receive the best possible service. In summary, Lifeworks Dental is so good, I’m willing to fly back and forth from San Francisco just to see them. You won’t be disappointed.

Can’t say enough good things about this practice. I’ve been going here a few years. They are always reliable and trustworthy. They work with payments plans. As we all know if you’re even lucky enough to have dental insurance, it doesn’t cover much outside of routine cleanings and small percentage of some procedures. Great scheduling, good with staying on time if you’re going in the middle of your work day. Everyone is very friendly.

Everything about my scheduling, consultation and treatment was very professional, friendly and competent – from their electronic forms on ipads to their appointment reminders to their clean and beautiful office environment, to their friendly staff to their excellent cleaning and treatments. I had two crowns, some cosmetic work and a cleaning and have had zero issues. I would highly recommend them.

Great experience at Lifeworks Dental. Dr. Tran and his team did a great cleaning and assessment and ensured I understood everything else that was needed. I returned for follow up work and the team greeted me by name and made sure I was comfortable during the procedure. Excellent work by Dr. Tran, I’m very happy with the results. I will be returning to Lifeworks over the years and will recommend to others
