Alex H. Nguyen, DDS - Saratoga Dentist

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Nguyen! I have been a patient of his for about ten years and I have only had positive experiences during that time. He is knowledgeable, meticulous, and thorough at every appointment. Most recently, I called Dr. Nguyen at the end of the day when the office was about to close because the cap on my front tooth fell off and I needed a replacement ASAP. Dr. Nguyen had me come in right away and stayed after hours to fix it that very same day. This kind gesture speaks volumes about the type of person he is as well. He is a great doctor who cares very much for his patients. If you’re looking for a great dentist, look no further than Dr. Nguyen.

Everything is pretty much great about Dr. Nguyen's practice. The staff are great, the location is great. Unfortunately, the skills of Dr. Nguyen are very average, especially esthetic skills and taste. If your teeth need some minor work, it is fine. But if you would need some advanced work for your teeth, it would be better to find a more skilled dentist. I am really sad to say that , but it is what it is...

Alex is the only DDS that I trust working on my teeth.
He consistently delivers stunning results while communicating every detail to full satisfaction.
Recently, Alex has been performing Nightlase Snoring Laser Treatment on me.
It's a series of treatments that has nearly eliminated my snoring completely!
I breathe better @ night and my spouse is much, much happier - he calls it 'noise cancellation' without the earphones :)
Lasik and Nightlase - two best things ever to improve my health and well-being!

Dr. Alex Nguyen repaired a large chip on one of my central incisors, and he did it beautifully. So lucky to have him as my dentist. The office feels like a spa - so tranquil and relax. Never feel like I was at a dental office here!

I've been going here since I was 9 and the experience just keeps getting better! The entire staff at Dr Alex's office are kind and friendly, they always try to accommodate you. The wait is never too long because Stacey is very thorough with scheduling. Throughout the pandemic they've done a wonderful job of keeping the area clean (it already was tho) and making sure that patients have space to social distance. Dr Alex himself wore two masks when he did my appointment and I could see the masks bend down his ear. :( Don't work too hard doctor.

They're just too many things I like about this place that I'm just going to list it.

-The sink, where you push your foot to make the water run

-The ambient music that makes you feel like you're at a spa

-The beautiful decor

-They always give you a hot towel afterwards

-Utmost care to safety of clients

-Most teeth procedures don't hurt afterwards because they are professionals who care about service, not how many patients they can get in a day ($$). Take this from a comparison story between me and my boyfriend, who found a cheap dentist in SF right outside of Chinatown to do a cleaning for roughly $40. It was rough for sure because when he got out I saw his gums were all bloodied up and swollen. The doctor made him wait 40 minutes and did his procedure in 15 (because he had other patients waiting 😐). Meanwhile, at Dr. Alex's office, I make an appointment and only have to wait 2-7 minutes as Stacy processes me and sends me to the dentists chair. Doctor comes in maybe 5 minutes later and does my cleaning in 30-40 minutes. Sometimes it hurts but it can't be helped. However, once he finishes, my gums feel refreshed and there is NO blood or swollenness. Just clean teeth 🙂

Go here if you haven't!

I've been coming to Dr. Nguyen's office for the past couple of years now and he is by far the best dentist I've ever had. Starting with the office itself, it's very zen and clean. I love the scent when i walk in, very aromatherapy. His staff is great and always friendly. Dr Nguyen himself is one of the nicest people I know and he has that gentle touch when working on you. I recently got Invisalign and it's been really great, I love my new smile. Thanks Dr Nguyen!

There are many reasons why I drive all the way from San Francisco. The office manager Stacy has always been very friendly and efficient. The office itself is like a zen spa - putting you in a more relaxed state of mind for your dental procedures. Alex takes special care to keep the procedures as painless as possible. And most importantly is the quality of his work. Alex transformed my front teeth to look perfect and natural at the same time. People now compliment my teeth and smile - which never happened before.

I first met Dr. Nguyen in 2010 when I was researching cosmetic dentists in the Bay Area. Dr. Nguyen was the 3rd or 4th dentist I met. I went with Dr. Alex after seeing his impressive profile of cases and because of the sense of competence and compassion he exuded in his practice.

Dr. Alex worked very closely with me over several iterations of designing my smile and was very patient throughout the process, explaining everything to the level of detail I was looking for.

My case of veneers and bonding turned out extremely well. I’ve received several comments from all kinds of people, including a close friend who is dentist that commented on how natural and aesthetic the result is. Another hygienist had a hard time believing that I had veneers.

3 years later my smile appears as good as he when he finished his work, a testament to how he was able to stabilize my bite perfectly (which was the cause of wear on my teeth that led me to seek cosmetic dentistry in the first place).

In short, Dr. Alex is very meticulous with his work and has a balanced focus on aesthetics and function. He is a master artist and an exacting engineer at the same time and believe that he is one of the best in the region for cosmetic or restorative work. I do not hesitate in recommending him to anyone.

Even though I live in San Francisco I continue to see Dr. Alex for all my routine work and checkups and will do so for as long as I’m in the area.

To join this practice is my best dental decision ever. Dr Nguyen is amazing professional with fantastic skill set. Unexpectedly relaxing atmosphere during all simple and complicated procedures. Great results. Highly recommend.

Dr Nguyen shows how much he cares about his patients through the wonderful services the clinic provides. I've come here twice a year to check on my teeth and do deep cleaning and always left satisfied. All the staffs are also professional and welcoming!
