Customer Reviews
Dr. Shin did an amazing job with my cleaning!!! I'm always afraid to go to the dentist because of my gum sensitivity, but that was one of the most painless cleanings, and my teeth look so good afterwards. Looking forward to the next cleaning. He also gave me a second opinion on continuing aligner treatment and is very knowledgeable.

Ahmed has been my dental hygienist for the past few years and he's the best! He's gentle, attentive, and always talks to me about his observations and changes from my last visit. Going to the dentist is not my favorite activity, so I'm very grateful to have Ahmed treat me. Thank you, Ahmed!
This is my unfortunate experience with Dr. Unchali. In my initial visit, I needed a variety of work that needed to be done: 2 Wisdom teeth by a rec’d oral surgeon, 1 root canal by a rec’d endontist, and 3 cavities to be filled by Dr. Unchali, to be done in that order. After Dr. Unchali gave me the 3 fillings, I had major pain and sensitivity. I was popping Ibuprofen day and night. There was some communication with Dr. Unchali back and forth, “maybe needs adjustment”, etc. As it turns out, the reason why I was in so much pain was because he drilled down too far and touched the nerve, in more than one tooth. So I was given a prescription to go back to the original endontist. The endontist said ALL 3 fillings, actually needed root canals, so I basically had the 3 fillings for nothing! At this point I maxed out my dental coverage and emptied my FSA. Plus I would still need the crowns from Dr. Unchali for the all the root canals and I’m already out of money. I went back to Dr. Unchali and I said please, at least give me a good price for crowns (for his bad fillings mistake) and he said no. He said that I didn’t need the crowns right away, and he would just fill it temporarily and I could come back in 2026 when my insurance kicks in for the crowns. For that I had to pay $300 from my pocket for the temporary fillings. He should have had the experience and knowledge from looking at the x-rays, that fillings were never needed in the first place. I should have been sent straight to the endontist for the root canals from the beginning, but I think he wanted the money for himself to do the fillings instead of outsourcing all the work. It was not responsible and it ended up giving me a lot of pain and wasting money and time. and I’m still in pain. And I forgot to say the first crown I had in his office it fall out after one month , Then I have to come back to do it again ,and I’m still in pain
