I had a great experience! I was experiencing pain in my wisdom tooth. Dr. Chung was very patient and thorough with the examination.

Very helpful, walked me through the XRays and set up follow-appointments

I met with Dr. Park and she was thorough and great to work with. I also had a cleaning done and the hygenist was very friendly and accommodating to the comfort level being experienced. I also thought it was pretty cool they had televisions on the ceiling so you had something to distract you during the cleaning. They also followed great COVID guidelines

Great experience! Dr. Chung was knowledgeable and great to talk to.

My first experience at the Richmond Dental Centre with Dr. Chung couldn't have been better. From the moment I walked in, to the moment I left, I was always greeted with the most friendly people who were clearly focused on making my experience comfortable & enjoyable. Not to mention, they did a great job with my cleaning service & extensive oral examination, while providing some really helpful tips for me on how to improve my overall hygiene. Highly recommend!

Dr. Chung was approachable and sat me down to explain in detail everything he was looking for when examining me as a new patient. This was a refreshing change from my previous dentist, who did things in a less collaborative way. Overall the clinic pays good attention to detail. Would recommend.

Dr. Chung is the best dentist I have ever been too! Super friendly, makes you feel comfortable while still being efficient and professional. Would recommend him to anyone.
