Practice Profile Page

I really enjoyed my visit with Dr. Charng and his staff. I haven’t been to a dentist in years and have been scared to go in but my tooth sensitivity finally got to be too much. Teri at the front desk was more than helpful, she answered all my questions about insurances. The hygienist (sorry I forgot your name!) really took her time to clean my teeth, and without judgement!! Dr. Charng then did a thorough exam and found two cavities!! Thankfully he says they aren’t too bad, and now I’m going back next week to have them filled. Thank you for making an intimidating experience comfortable!

So… I’m going to be honest here. I haven’t been to the dentist in… when did I get married, 3 years ago… okay, so two years before that. Five years. Possibly longer, because my family dentist (who my entire family has seen for years, YEARS) is all the way in Hacienda Heights and I live in Monrovia now. So, I am not driving through traffic for that. Fortunately, my friend told me about her dentist was that actually close to me that recently opened. I was like… 1. Does he take Kaiser’s Delta plan? 2. Just HOW close is he? 1. Yes. 2. He’s at the border of Monrovia and Arcadia! I’M AT THE BORDER OF MONROVIA AND ARCADIA. Okay… I made an appointment and the receptionist was SO FRIENDLY. She was so accommodating to my schedule (I only require EARLY mornings) and she was able to find me an appointment to just do a check up and X-rays. Again… I told her it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a dentist. I will have a lot of problems. I mean, I do brush often and floss, but not like CRAZY obsessively. Who has time to carefully floss after every meal?!?! Anyways, the receptionist was wonderful and I went in and got my x-rays done. It’s ALL DIGITAL NOW. Okay, this shows you how long it’s been since I’ve seen a dentist. All that stuff that they used to do… IT’S DIGITAL NOW. I feel like an old lady who just found out how to use Facebook. So the tech was able to do all my scans and then the doctor came in and looked at the X-Rays and at my teeth. Such a NICE guy. Young, which is great because it popped in my head – I could have this guy as my family dentist for YEARS. My future child (not pregnant) will be able to see this guy cuz he won’t be retiring anytime soon! Dr. Charng was very professional. He wanted to show me my X-Rays and explained what he saw. He took photos of my mouth – even though I said “Nah, I trust you, man.” He still wanted to show me to understand. So… thank goodness I didn’t need a root canal. BUT I did have cavities and needed a deep cleaning – not that bad. My hygiene is fine, thank you very much. So I made another appointment with him… had to make two because i have to clean one side and then the next week another side. DON’T JUDGE ME. Dr. C did not judge me for that. He says it happens. HAHAHA. I love how chill he is. So I go into my deep cleaning and they have to give me stuff to numb my mouth to clean my gums… and it was completely fine. I am usually scared of needles, but OMG. Dr. Charng was like a wizard cuz I didn’t see the needle and because he numbed me with this swab, I barely felt the needle. Then he went away at my teeth cleaning and seriously… he was flawless. He didn’t rush me at all. Cleaning my teeth and doing the cavities took about two hours – WHICH I AM SO THANKFUL for cuz he didn’t rush me. So I know he did a good job. When he did my fillings, he kept filing it down until I felt comfortable. Every time he did it, he’d stop and go, “How does that feel” and I’d say No. Then he’d do it again. And I have to tell you… this guy has the patience of a saint because I am a talkative person who likes to joke around during sessions… so yes, I’m THAT patient. He would just laugh and explain things to me, cuz I was like a child asking “What does that do? What does this do?” BECAUSE… I haven’t seen a dentist in SO long. When my face was numb, I sang “I can’t feel my face when I’m with you…” I don’t think he heard it, but it was stuck in my head. Seriously, patience of a saint. He did a great job. Although I am sore as heck because it’s been a long ass time since I’ve been to the dentist, it feels so clean and really good. I now have a doctor to go to that is local and really good. The guy didn’t try to shortchange me or try to sell me products or any of that shady stuff. This shall be my family dentist, where I make my husband and future child come here… and then their future child… if they stay in SGV, of course… and until he retires. Also, his staff is awesome. The receptionist called me to let me know about earlier appointments and my coverage for dental. Seriously, GRADE A service. The tech was so nice too. We got along talking about Beyonce. YASSSS. PARKING: Guys… this parking lot is HUGE. You can throw parties back there. So it will fit tons of cars. And FREE parking…Guys… it’s also across the street from the 99 Cents Only Store. What?! So if you’re waiting for someone getting their teeth checked or cleaned, you can just go there to waste time! What is this life!??

I used to go see Dr. Charng in West Covina before he started his own practice. Thank goodness I have found his personal office! Dr. Charng is by far one of the best dentists around! He is extremely personable, friendly, and patient. He is very thorough with his exam, and he is really straightforward and honest with the work he recommends. I feel very comfortable and at ease with his work. He always explains the process of the procedure as it is happening, and he makes sure I understand, which I greatly appreciated. On top of that, his office is very tidy and clean, yet homey and welcoming. His staff is also professional and courteous, which is a huge bonus! I totally trust Dr. Charng as my dentist, and I am really glad to have found my forever dentist. I would highly recommend Dr. Charng to anyone looking for a great dentist and a friendly staff!
