Beacon Dental Center – Lihua Zhang, DDS

I have mixed review for this place. Based on customer service, I felt the staff were friendly, better than the usual larger practice. It’s nice that after first time, they do remember your name. However, I was supposed to go for regular cleaning and somehow they ended up saying I have periodontal disease and gave me a deep cleaning. The deep cleaning did not last long and was expensive. My dad and brother had bad experiences with them as well. Dr Zhang is very nice but the Russian lady was too rough on my teeth and it scared me every time she had the drill scrapping thing on the surface of my teeth while she looked at the monitor to check where she should clean. Lady, please look at what your doing or turn off the tool when you’re not looking at what you’re scraping! That was scary. For others experience, they tell you that you need this and that treatment and make you feel like you have all these issues. I personally think they just want more money. I do like that there’s a tv in the room to keep me distracted. I waited 40 minutes today in waiting room, what’s worse is that there’s no cell service as well. Although the location is convenient and they’re open on weekends, I’m not sure how much I trust them for special treatments that would impact the teeth in the long run.

Best dental experience ever! Mariya did the best job cleaning my teeth. Totally painless and quick. I highly recommend this place!

I remember, when I first entered the Beacon Dental Center about 2 years ago, I was so tense. However, when the office manager greeted me with a big smile in the waiting room, my fear was gone.
Then, a dental hygienist, Mariya asked me to the operatory, and started to do x-​ray. It was so quick and comfortable, as I had never experienced before. I was amused by the new technology. It was the digital x-​ray that requires about 60% less radiation that the regular one. My teeth appeared on the computer in size of the computer. Then, the dental hygienist explained me about tartar, periodontal pockets, and bone loss. She checked my gums, told me that I don’t have periodontal disease, and started dental cleaning. It was very gentle, no pain at all.
Then, Dr. L. Zhang did the exam. I had no cavities, but I had an empty space for years that I didn’t like. It was visible when I smiled, and no previous doctor suggested me to do something about it. Dr. Zhang recommended me to get an implant. First, I was scared, but it was done in such professional way, and looked so natural that now I can smile wide with confidence.
I am very satisfied with the professional treatment I received at the Beacon Dental Center, and I am very thankful to the doctor and the staff for that.
