As a dentist, I’ve been fortunate to help people through many challenging moments. One recent experience stands out, and I wanted to share it—not just because it reminded me why I love what I do, but because it illustrates the heart of my approach to patient care. It was a Friday afternoon when a patient walked into the office, visibly distressed. She had chipped her front tooth—just two days before her wedding. Her voice trembled as she explained the situation, worried that this unexpected mishap would overshadow the happiest day of her life. I could immediately sense the anxiety in her voice and saw the tears welling up. I took a deep breath and gently told her, “You’re going to be okay. We can fix this.” And I meant it. My goal wasn’t just to restore her tooth— it was to restore her confidence and peace of mind. I used composite bonding to rebuild the tooth, carefully shaping and shading it to match seamlessly with the rest of her smile. As a clinician, I take pride in the details — crafting restorations that are not only functional but beautiful and natural-looking. For me, dentistry isn’t just science; it’s artistry with a purpose. When we finished, she looked in the mirror and immediately began to cry — this time, tears of joy. She gave me a heartfelt hug and thanked me. That moment will stay with me for a long time. Helping someone feel whole again—especially at such a meaningful time in their life— is one of the greatest honors of my profession. Experiences like these are what drive me every day. I believe that a healthy, confident smile can change someone’s life—and I’m grateful to play a role in that transformation. Whether you’re facing a dental emergency or simply want to improve your smile, I’m here to help you feel heard, supported, and cared for. If you're looking for a dentist who sees you as more than just a patient — someone who truly cares about your experience and outcomes — I would be honored to meet you. Let’s create a reason for you to smile again.
 

I’m from New Mexico in California for a family reunion. I broke a crown called Quality Dentistry, they were able to take me in. Upon arrival they were very friendly and attentive. Natay was AMAZING very friendly explained what she was going to do and replaced the crown. If I lived here I would make Quality Dentistry my permanent dentist.

I started going to Dr Wong at Quality Dentistry in the early 2000’s and I’ve never wanted to change dentists. This practice keeps up with technology and hires qualified, friendly and professional staff members. I always know that my comfort and well being is #1 during any procedure I might have including a simple teeth cleaning process. I highly recommend this dental office.

I have been going here for 20years now! I absolutely love it. I enjoy getting my dental cleanings. My last hygienist had retired and now I have a new favorite hygienist, Rochelle. She and her assistant Julie are so kind and funny. Both super gentle and thorough with explaining things. Dr. Wong (Dale rd) and Dr. Du (Tully Rd) are the dentist I see and they’re awesome. Great chair side manners as well. Both offices have nicest staff and very clean rooms. My husband left his other dentist when we got married and now he always recommends Quality Dentistry to his side of the family.
