Terwilliger Dental got me in for an emergency visit. I have a lot of dental anxiety and my teeth were ruined by dentists from the past in childhood. Which caused me to never want to see a dentist. A lot of work that needs to be done. As soon as I called the receptionist staff was so sweet and understanding. Dr. Hoang made me feel not embarrassed about the state of my teeth at all! She gave me a positive perspective and also paid attention to my anxiety! I have confidence that Dr. Hoang will save my smile for a healthier dental future. They clean rooms after each patient! Its weird to say but I cannot wait for the next visit. They also are all female staff and the dentist and hygienist has been in practice for a very long time! I'm glad I found them, I had a prior dentist that didn't sit well with me. In the end make an appointment and see for yourself!

This review is for a future possible patient as I haven't had my appointment yet and I would like to compliment the receptionist. Every-time I called back, they were very proficient and understanding. I have extreme dental anxiety and even her voice was calm, and hopeful (checking my insurance too)! I could tell they care. They even immediately booked me after hearing my story. I can't wait for my first consult, I have a lot of work to do, which means $$$ (even if I have ODS). I'd prefer to give that to someone I think cares about patients 🙂 I WILL UPDATE AFTER 1ST VISIT:

I just started going to Dr. Hoang when my previous dentist did not take my new insurance. I loved my old dentist and was nervous about finding a new one. Boy did I hit the jackpot! Dr. Hoang and her staff are fabulous ( love Jenna)
They knew about my insurance and things I didn’t even know were covered. State of the art equipment…and let me tell you, when she did the dental cleaning she got stains out that I never thought possible. 110% would, and have, recommend Terwilliger Dental. Love them.

I echo what many others have said about Dr. Huong. I feel like I am in such good hands while under her care. She is thorough, and has brought things to my attention that no other dentists have. I should also mention that the support staff makes the process a breeze. Thanks so much Dr. Huong & team!

Dr. Huong is meticulous, caring and highly professional. Everything one could want in a dentist! Jana her assistant is wonderful too; I especially appreciated how she kept me in the loop with explanations the whole time the work was being done. I feel very confident in their hands.

5 star rating I went to three different dentists and Dr. Hoang was the only dentist able to identify my root canal problem. Don't waste your time with inexperienced dentists like I did. This office has evening appointments, too!

5 star rating It had been a few years, but after searching for a new dental office. I found Terwilliger Dental. I would use the words caring, compassionate, and committed. It was really nice. The staff shows great concern, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. In the end, Dr Hoang gave me a beautiful and healthy smile, and yes; when time comes . "I'll be back"

I switched here from my previous dentist when the owner of the practice retired and younger doctors I wasn't as comfortable with took his place. Everyone at Terwilliger Dental was welcoming and friendly, and Dr. Hoang definitely knows what she's doing. After my appointment, they sat down with me to map out future treatments and broke down pricing and everything. It was wonderful. I've found my new dentist. 🙂

Been a patient of Dr.Hoang for almost 7 years. I apperciate her knowledge and dental skills and staff. I like how she always engages with me so many different and random topics each time I visit. Its like I never left. Always feels like family vibe there. The staff are always so kind and always wants what is best for the patient. Always giving dental advices as well as personal. Everyone is so very hardworking to giving me the fullest care and I apperciate it very much. I love when I come in for my routin visits that they greet me like family. Its so sweet! Unfortunately, I will be relocating for work soon and will miss them dearly. I highly recommend Dr. Hoang and her wondeful staff if you are looking for those gental hands, knowledge, and long time companionship. When I am in town, please clean my teeth. XOXO.

5 star rating There is no doubt in my mind that I am in good hands every time I visit Dr. Hoang and her staff and I can't recommend Terwilliger Dental highly enough! I recently had a dental emergency (a crown affixed by a prior dentist popped off) and they were able to squeeze me in as soon as possible. While Dr. Hoang could've easily charged me for a new one, instead she was able to save the crown and recement it back on which saved me tons of money. I truly feel that she has my best intentions in mind. If you are looking for a compassionate, gentle and professional dentist, look no further.

Dr. Hoang and team are awesome! I’ve been getting my dental care here for around the past 15 years. They are very friendly, warm and highly skilled. Their prices are reasonable too. For example, they offer a variety of options and price points for mouth guards. Unlike some dentists that I’ve seen in the past, they don’t try to sell you the most expensive item. For the above reasons, I highly recommend this practice!

Dr. Hoang is a top dentist— professional, well-trained in her practice, and kind to her patients. I was in bad shape during the pandemic and she rescued me.

Her staff is welcoming, attentive, and caring. I feel healthy and safe again.

Thank you all.

As a new patient (first appointment was in September 2021), it can always be a little nerve racking going to a new dentist. Dr. Hoang and her staff have been so professional and friendly, that I felt right away this was such a great place for my care. I had a sensitive tooth and was clenching my teeth at night. Both issues were taken care of right away and all questions and concerns were answered. Definitely recommend Terwilliger Dental.

The whole staff at Terwilliger Dental are friendly and knowledgeable. They all work very well together as a team. I have lots of anxiety about my teeth and they go out of their way to make me feel comfortable. I have had lots of services done and am pleased with all of all of them. They let me know about things I didn’t think my insurance covered. Most recently they did some bonding on some misshaped teeth that added a boost of confidence to my smile. I highly recommend them!

5 star rating I have been going here for a decade! Why do I keep coming back? They have a friendly staff and do a great job to make sure I'm taken care of. Dr. Hoang is one of the gentlest dentist, she will listen if you have concerns and will make sure you are comfortable. I've had all four wisdom teeth pulled and multiple cavities filled when I first started coming here. My teeth have been great every since. I recently got a referral from them to go to a Ortho up the street to get my Invisalign. They have helped me with my preventative care and have been continuously doing so since the day I became a patient. I would highly recommend Terwilliger Dental if you're someone who needs a great dentist and team to treat your dental needs, this is the dental practice for you!

Is it weird to say you love your dentist? Probably. But I really, really enjoy mine! Terwilliger did great work on my 3 cleanings so far. I hadn't gone to see the dentist in over 7 years, and they didn't make me feel bad or guilty at all. In fact, that was part of the reason WHY I had to go to 3 cleanings - I think they basically had to power-wash my teeth for the last 2 cleanings? Anyway, I am a super picky person, and I can honestly say that I have no interest in going to another dentist anywhere. My dentist (dental tech? I'm not sure what her title is officially!) is so much fun to talk to, really knows her stuff, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole experience. Dr. Hoang, Head Dentist in Charge (again, I don't know titles), is also fabulous - very friendly and personable! The front desk staff is wonderful, too - nice, chill, couldn't ask for better. Also, everyone is doing their part during the COVID-19 era to keep everything clean and to follow the appropriate guidelines, which is extremely important to me, as my husband is immunocompromised and my kid is currently too young to be vaccinated. 10/10 recommend.

Dr. Kim Hoang and her medical staff are all simply amazing. My family and I have been with Terwilliger Dental for many years.
I have very sensative teeth because of a medical condition that can affect my bones and enamel. Dr. Hoang and her Dental hygienists take great care in making sure I am numb before my cleanings. The Doctor and staff listen and actually learn about my condition, and go above and beyond where they can, to understand it. Dental issues can affect ones self esteem and being on OHP it is very limited what they cover, yet Terwilliger dental always goes above and beyond and treats me with respect and dignity and care. They help advocate for coverage and help when needed to advocate for dental services outside of their practice (like oral surgery for impacted wisdom teeth my kids needed). My kids are now in college close by, and will continue to go to Terwilliger dental as long as they are in the area. The office is open and airy and has nice views as well. The atmosphere with everyone is professional and personal.

I have a lot of anxiety with dentists particularly after a traumatic experience with another dentist many years ago. The staff here are absolutely kind and wonderful and really look after you.

So far I've worked mostly with Joyce for dental hygiene and she's been so patient, understanding and accommodating to my anxiety with certain procedures. Dr. Hoang is also really great. Both have gentle hands and presence which help me relax while they're doing their thing.

100% recommend coming here for your dental needs!

I was very embarrassed about my smile. The six front upper teeth as well as the six front lower teeth were in much need of repair. Dr Hoang skillfully and artfully applied bonding resin to the upper teeth in one visit and the lower teeth in another visit, they look totally natural.
I have my smile back!
I recommend her wholeheartedly.
Also, all of her staff are very friendly and highly competent.
