Brian Nguyen, DMD

Let me first start off my saying that for so long I’ve had major anxiety about dental work. I’ve been to countless dentists and have never felt relaxed about going in for treatment. Then I met Dr. Nguyen. Not only does he have the most calming demeanor of any dentist I’ve met but his level of expertise is exceptional. I feel virtually no pain during his procedures or after. My anxiety when thinking about going in for dental treatment has all but disappeared. His staff is top-​notch as well. They are considerate, sweet, and try to work out plans that work for your current financial situation. More service-​based businesses should model their practices after Dr. Nguyen’s.

I have had numerous root canals and by far Dr. Nguyen is the best in all areas. He gives you honest feedback about your options, about the procedure, and about what you can expect. He is gentle, considerate, and thorough.
I have NEVER had such painless injections!
Top recommendations for Dr. Nguyen. If you need an endodontist don’t look any farther.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Although my visit was a mere consultation, I trust you will be in good hands with Dr Nguyen. Should definitely visit this office if ever in need of a consultation or root canal in San Francisco!

Top notch dentist ! Very gentle and personable. State of the art equipment. You cannot go wrong with Dr. Nguyen if you need root canal treatment.

Great bedside manner. Dr. N’s care during my root canal made me feel that he was taking his time to make sure he did it right. He even explained a few things to me along the way to make me comfortable. Staff kind, helpful, and professional. Offered a free checkup six months later to be sure my root canal was in good shape. This was my fifth root canal by three different doctors, and Dr. Nguyen was my favorite.

While I hope you never need his services, if or when you do, Dr. Brian Nguyen is the best!
He and his staff were kind enough to book me on very short notice for a very sore and infected tooth that required an immediate root canal to save the tooth.
They not only did that, but they kept me informed all along the way, and as he promised, Dr. Nguyen followed up with a phone call to make sure all was OK two days later.
I just finished the second half of the root canal and my co-​workers were amazed how unaffected I was and they weren’t able to tell I just had a major procedure done.
Thank you Dr. Nguyen. Always nice to have a great endodontist to go to.

Had a second opinion (actually 3^rd opinion) here and Dr. Nguyen was fabulous! I’ve never seen such an honest Endodontist before. I understood his explanations and I left his office with a smile. Thank you Dr. Nguyen and his secretary Kathy!

I HATE dentists… i hate having my teeth picked and scratched… so of course i would end up needing a root canal.
Lucky for me, i was sent here by a dentist near my job.
First off, the staff is super SUPER nice… i have worked in medical offices for about 15 years so i have high expectations about the way I am treated in offices… his staff is top notch!
Secondly, this was as close to pain free as you can get… If you are afraid of pain and thats whats stopping you from getting a root canal… rest assured you are in good hands. I also loved how polite he is to his staff… that says a LOT about his character.
Thirdly: He has REALLY pretty eyes… not bad to look at as your are laying flat on your back with your mouth wide open!
Extra Kudos for his assistant (I forgot her name, so sorry!) It was really warm during the procedure. she cranked up the AC for me and even brought in a second fan to cool me down… now that is customer service.

This place is five stars on every level, honestly; I have nothing but great things to share about my experience with Dr. Nguyen and his staff.
This was my first root canal ever and I was pretty nervous about having it done. The process was started by my regular dentist but when a file broke off and he couldn’t finish it, I had to see a specialist. I found Dr. Nguyen after calling several places.
I’m terrible about going to the dentist regularly and it causes me a lot, A LOT of anxiety, so I was even more nervous about things going wrong with the first try. The office itself was very clean and everyone I interacted was very kind and pleasant. Seemed like they were all pretty happy to be working there.
After the xrays, Dr. Nguyen explained that he would try to remove the instrument but that it may be lodged in so tightly that it would have to just stay put. He was able to work around it and clean the infection out completely and in a few days I was pain free. During the procedure, I was so impressed with the mutual respect he and his assistant had. Laying there while he was digging around in my tooth, all I could do was listen to the (awful) sounds of the tools and the two of them communicating. They worked really well together which made me feel so much more at ease. I grew chilly (it was a long process) and they brought me a snuggly blanket which seems like a small thing but really helped me to calm my nerves and relax. It took a while for him to work around the instrument and get things all fixed up, but he took his time and was very patient and calm. Unfortunately, the file was not coming out which worried me however he assured me that it would not cause any harm (like security alarms going off or my tooth falling out).
In a few days, I was pain-​free and so incredibly grateful! I went for my follow-​up and they didn’t even charge me another office visit fee. They are really kind people who care a great deal about their patients; I am so lucky I found them!

Dr Nguyen was highly recommended by my regular dentist, whom I respect enormously; for my first root canal. The whole idea of root canal was a bit scary;
Brian made me feel instantly comfortable. Great staff and office setting. He was very thorough and explained everything carefully. It was two sessions and I felt no pain in the evenings after. He called me both times in the evening to see how I was doing.
I couldn’t have been more pleased. I noticed how kind he was to his staff… this is always a good sign to me.
