I've been going through dental issues for the past 8 years. I had 5 different implants done by 3 different dentists which completely destroyed my bite to the point that it collapsed. I was in misery, having spent a fortune on my teeth and not being able to find the right dentist to fix my issues. A good friend in the dental industry referred me to Dr. Alex, she said if anyone can fix your teeth it's him. His consultation was thorough and you could tell right away he had way more knowledge & technique than the other dentist that worked on me. He suggested what I dreaded but knew I had to do, a full mouth reconstruction! It was a bit overwhelming but I felt very confident that he could do what he said he could do (I was scared at the same time because I already went through 3 dentists).
It was a tedious 4+ months but Dr. Alex made me his priority. He wanted to make sure I would not be disappointed. His entire staff is incredible, particularly David who stays late or works past lunch with Dr. Alex to work on me! They made sure I was comfortable and if I was in pain they consoled me. They were like my dental family, since I was there average 4hrs/day, 2times a week. Dr. Alex's fees were very reasonable, especially considering how long I had to be there. They never tried to add on fees either, if he wasn't happy with the lab results, he would make them redo the crowns. He's a man of his word and ultimately, I'm super happy with the results. I haven't smiled so much in years! I highly recommend Dr. Alex & his staff!Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Rachel N.Brea, CA33191Apr 30, 2024
I have full trust in Star Bright Dental. They are honest about procedures, take great care when working on your teeth, and are very friendly. They also have flexibility so it is much easier to find a time to be seen. I highly recommend them for any dental need. They know their stuff.

Great place. They really work with you. Also great with kids, my daughter is usually afraid of dentists but the dentist there explains step by step on what's up next and it was a great experience for my daughter. Office staff are great too very friendly and helpful.

Dr Nguyen is the most knowledgeable doctor I've ever met. I avoided going to the dentist for about a decade due to traumatic experiences with dentist offices as a child. It took me 2 years to build trust with Dr Nguyen but I was consistent as I can be with my appointments, and truly gave him an honest chance. Dr Nguyen takes so much precious time to explain the cause and effect of what's going on, which made it super easy to build trust. I started coming in 2020 thanks to a referral from my mom. I found such value in my teeth and hygiene after making this doctor my primary dentist, that I keep up with my flossing and brushing and not eating hard things that are just not worth my beautiful teeth. I only have to come every 3-6 months now. I try my best to get a cleaning every 3 months and every 6 months the most! I also loveee investing in Dr Nguyen's deep cleanings! Worth it. He's very detailed and mentors his assistants very well. They're all soooo friendly and make you feel soo welcomed. Also, Trina left it seems, and there's a new person working the front. She's such a sweetheart! Had to update my review cuz this place has been so good to me.

The patience, dedication and love this office has for their patients is impeccable and unconditional. I seriously manifested this place into my life. The universe knew I needed them in my life, because I needed a lot of work done due to not coming for so long.
I got 13-15 cavities, changed metal fillings to white, 1 crown in the very back of my mouth, 2 wisdom teeth removed, 2 deep cleanings, and a few regular cleanings. Now I'm in the process of getting 4 veneers in the top front teeth!!
(Removing the wisdom teeth helped my headaches)
Dr Nguyen is soo experienced and knowledgeable. He truly is an angel. The reason I speak so highly of him is because he helped me mentally get through my anxiety and claustrophobia throughout ever second of my appointments. Over time, I trusted him so much, I wasn't so scared anymore. He explains EVERYTHING so prepare to be here longer than you expect. He takes the time to answer every single question and he levels up with you to explain it however you understand best, whether it's with his teeth models or drawing it out for you or using Google photos to show details!
Dr Nguyen, David, Trina, Zecrete, thank you for all your time and effort. I see you, and I appreciate you.
I've recommended this place to everyone I know, and they're excited to start their dental journey too. This place isn't the cheapest price I wise, but remember, you get what you pay for. They accept insurance and medical and help you finance work if needed too. If you feel pressured by Trina, don't be mad at her, she knows what she's talking about!!! Trina is my best friend now haha She's the reason why I kept coming back. She never gave up on me no matter how scared I thought I was in the beginning.
I take customer service and results very serious, if you need help, come here! Don't wait til it gets worse when there's a doctor like Dr Nguyen here to help with anything!May 3, 2021Previous reviewIf you're scared to death of dentists, you should get to know Dr Nguyen. Today was the first day since I was about 13 that I got real work done on my cavities. I've been coming to this dentist for a little over a year, and I finally gained trust with Dr Nguyen enough to complete some real dental work! Thank God I did, because after so many conversations with him, I realized it was all in my mind. Today was the most successful appointment I've ever had at the dentist, and I had a wisdom tooth removed and a tooth prepped for a crown in 2 weeks. I'm going back for 2 more wisdom teeth and about 13 cavities. Finally I found a doctor that IS AN ANGEL with dealing with patients with claustrophobia & anxiety. I love them for having so much patience and being so kind! Trina told me a year ago to get this done, and I'm thankful she never stopped calling me to bring me in. Thank you all, you're the best. Me and Carlos love you guys!

Pros: no pain, no sensitivity, dedicated dentist, very conscientious. Xray is doing at the chair, no need to go other room.
Cons: the fee is a bit more expensive than other places.
1. Filling: The dentist Dr Nguyen does it very gently. I was surprise because it doesn't hurt at all. The dentist is always sure that those teeth are completely numb before proceeding. After done, the dentist showed me the pictures of my teeth so I could see before and after.
2. Deep clean: my teeth have a lot of limescale so I have to do a deep clean. The dentist is also dedicated to numbing my teeth before proceeding. The hygienist is very nice, and friendly. After done with the machine, she also clean one more time by hand that makes more clean. After finishing, she also taught me how to properly care and clean my teeth.
3. Root canal: It sounds horrible, but actually NO PAIN at all. During the procedure, the only thing make me uncomfortable is the noise of the machine running. However, the most important thing is NO PAIN.
Dr Nguyen does the job very carefully and meticulously. For me, it is hard to find a dentist with a good heart. I love this place and highly recommend to anyone who are scare to go to the dentist like me before.Helpful 1Thanks 2Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kathy D.Huntington Beach, CA01May 1, 2023
I went to starbright dental on April 1st, 2023 hoping to get a partial made in 30 days for my daughter's wedding. Sure enough they're done in 30 days and they look great and I'm very happy with them. The office is busy and very effective and Theresa at the front desk is very kind.
The dentist and his assistants are very professional that made you feel at ease.
I guess I just got lucky and walked into the right office and I highly recommend them.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Tiffany C.Irvine, CA655May 12, 2023

I was here for a cleaning and wisdom tooth extraction because my wisdom teeth was hurting so much. But Doctor Cuong was super nice and friendly and he made sure that it didn't hurt at all after the procedure. He was great at tooth extractions and extremely knowledgeable in his profession. I will be recommending this place to more of my friends!

I was searching for a dentist close to home that did implants. I found Star Bright Dental and made an appointment. I canceled my first appointment as I was scared. I did make a second appointment and went in. I wanted dental implant for my lower denture. It caused me so much pain and embarrassment.
Dr. Nguyen was fabulous!!' Extremely knowledgeable and the very first visit he reassured me that he could help me. I scheduled my appointment while in spring break. Absolutely amazing!!! Yes, the first few days I was uncomfortable but not in agonizing pain. I went back on the follow up and he did some adjustments and it was ten times better!!! I would totally recommend this dental office. His main tech David, was so knowledgeable and helpful! Yes, a tad expensive but you get what you pay for!!! Please give them your business. You will not regret it!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dora Z.Queens, NY09Mar 29, 2023
