I had broken a front tooth and she placed and implant and made me a new tooth. It looks so natural, no one can tell that it is a fake tooth! I will always come to this cosmetic dentist and would recommend her to everyone who wants a great dentist and a incredibly great cosmetic dentist.

I heard about this dentist from a friend and wanted to see for myself. I have been happy since. I come from far away for each visit, but she is definitely worth the drive and I know my teeth are in good hands. I highly recommend this very professional and skilled dentist.

I had a toothache and Dr. Ortega diagnosed it as a molar with a very slight crack underneath the gums. She opted for the most conservative treatment geared toward saving the tooth. The most expensive and aggressive treatment would have been a root canal, implant and crown. But Dr. Ortega suggested saving the tooth with on onlay. I am totally impressed by Dr. Ortega's focus on saving my teeth. She was extremely knowledgeable and was excellent at explaining the treatment options to me. She spent a lot of time on me and I did not feel like I was in the typical factory-dentistry office where they are focused on pumping out x patients per hour. You get true personal attention here. This is a top-notch operation and Dr. Ortega is absolutely the best dentist that I have ever known. I'm in the military and move around A LOT and have tried many dentists. Dr. Ortega is incredible. She is the BEST, guaranteed!!

Great office from the time you walk in to when you leave. I'm the only patient here. They do promise one on one attention to only one patient. I feel special, not like other offices where you get rushed and the doctor just pops in to check on you. This doctor spent over an hour on my first visit here.

I wanted to change my dentist and we noted her good reviews. My wife had good first experience with her. The staff started calling me for appointment. Got an appointment in December 2014. We were rushed. I had pain in my teeth for several days. Looks like the Dr wanted to see many patients in December to make more insurance claims than she can handle. That was my first and last appointment with her.

Dr. Thu-Nga H. Ortega's response
We are sorry you had a bad experience, but we did not have a situation where we had a wife come in and her husband subsequently came in and was not treated. Your review seems to be for another practice. We only see one patient at a time and no other patients are in our office at the same time. You would never be scheduled and not been seen for your dental treatment since each patient's appointment is uniquely reserved for them only. There are no other patients in our office if you were here at our office, therefore your review is definitely for another office and not ours. Thank you.

I was impressed by the quality of service I received here. After seeing many dentists, I was very unsatisfied with my smile, and didn't realize that high-quality dental care even existed. However, once I met with Dr. Ortega I was surprised at the time and effort going into the patients. The doctor and also the staff went out of their way not only to give me plenty of personalized attention, but also to make sure I was comfortable, not scared, and understood all of the costs involved with all the treatment I wanted. I felt really good about it because this isn't the kind of place where they're in it to take all your money, in fact she recommended against me getting a more expensive procedure because she said I didn't need it and would benefit more from a less invasive (and cheaper) option. So I was very happy with my visits here and do plan on going back. I recommend it if you're fed up with low-quality dentistry that doesn't ever solve your problems but sucks up all your money instead.

Very punctual, I only had to wait a minute before an asst. brought me back. Dr. Ortega spent a good hour with me talking about my gum issues, and going over hygiene instruction. I've never learned so much so quickly.My cleaning was very thorough and the doctor did the cleaning herself! Everyone in the office is very personable, and organized. The office itself is also very clean and has a lovely view. I would recommend this office for everyone. They told me they accept all insurances, as long as they are traditional or PPO plans. Mine is a PPO, and I only had to pay a $25.00 difference. They were very honest with me, the staff informed me of my treatment plan,and said that the insurance gave them an estimate of how much it would pay, but they made it clear, it was just an estimate and I might owe a small balance after the insurance paid.
