Yes, Dr. Luong.......she is excellent. My crown fell off (I didn't lose it tho) and she replaced it and did a great job, no pain and quality care.

Welcome to TOTV. Use the search button above. Just type in dentist. You will get past threads on these dentists. The only one on your list that I have used was Johary and I would definitely NOT recommend him.
Good luck.

Dr luong is great. I had a couple of crowns replaced by her. She does it in her office. Takes pictures of your tooth and then she has you leave for a couple of hours while they make the crown for you. We just walked around Spanish Springs came back crown was ready and fit perfectly. No temp or going back for refittings love the office stff too.

We use Dr. Luong. She and her staff are excellent. We have used her for extensive dental work and are very pleased with the results. Can't say whether she is charges more or less than other dentists here as we have never compared prices. She is a little higher than what we paid in Virginia for a 6 month cleaning but not much. But her xrays are digital and stored electronically and she uses a different method for cleaning than scraping your teeth so that probably warrants a higher fee. Highly recommend.

Steer clear of Dr. Johary. Do not use him.

Every tooth in my mouth is filled over the last 65 years . Have endured about 6 dentiats over those years. Dr Maria Luong is the best I have ever patronized. Not cheap, but fair.

I went to Dr. Johary for a cleaning (my first appt. there). After a long wait in a crowded room (more like a big hallway), I finally get into the examining room and then get an estimate for over $3000 of dental work for a deep cleaning and to replace old crowns. AND the cleaning fee was going to be another $85. I said the insurance company always covered the cleaning cost. They said the insurance only covers the polishing cost and I was responsible for the cleaning part. I got up and walked out of the place. I complained to the insurance company about their methods and a month later get got a reply that Johary was just giving his opinion for services needed. Case closed. Later another dentist office did the cleaning at no cost to me and after the full exam said all else is well. In my opinion Johary is a crook. Stay away.

Another vote for Dr. Luong. She has state-of-the art equipment and is very capable. Connie, in her front office, is wonderful helping you with the insurance company to maximize their coverage of your work. I love working with them.
