Oral Surgery and Implant Center

Patient Review

I needed a sinus lift, bone graft, and implant placement, and unfortunately, the experience was not what I had expected. My appointment was delayed due to some initial insurance confusion, and I then waited quite a long time before being brought in. After receiving anesthesia, dr Timothy left and the procedure didn’t begin for another 45 minutes. During the procedure, I experienced pain despite multiple attempts to numb the area. I have had several root canals and another implant before, so generally I’m well acquainted with numbing, dental procedures and less anxious, but this time around I felt pain which got me really anxious and distressed and ended up crying when I got home. After the stitches were removed, I developed a gum infection near the implant site. I was also surprised that chlorhexidine wasn’t prescribed after such a major procedure; when I asked, I was told salt-water rinses were sufficient, but now after the gym infection I’m using chlorhexidine. Also because I have had an implant earlier I knew what to do right after the surgery, what to do what not to do- like don’t put pressure on sinus etc and what to avoid but little to no after care instructions were given by the folks there verbally. Just a paper with few instructions. Which is okay I read the paper but at other dentists places that I have visited in the bay, they have better patient care comms. I do appreciate that the office is responsive to calls and emails, and they provide you with X-rays etc, but overall I felt the communication and patient care could have been much better. This is my review as of Aug 31, 2026. I will update this review after seeing the outcome of what eventually happens to the implant.

Patient Review

As a patient, I rely on the specialist for his/her expertise but the time spent for me, a patient, was not enough. The consultation was only the cons that mislead me. I paid too much for things I don't need.

Great services! This dental center is super efficient! I was well-informed about what to expect and the duration of each procedure. They scheduled my appointments for all my dental needs, including surgery and implants, with great speed and without any discomfort. Dr. Timothy and his dental assistant were an amazing team! I’ve had implants done before, but this office is a whole different level, and I was really looking forward to it. I highly recommend Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Center—Dr. Timothy Nguyen, DDS, and his staff!

I had a wisdom tooth removed by Dr Murthy. He has amazing patient care skills and put me completely at ease - and I have an extreme fear of any dental work! I would gladly return to Dr Murthy for future work done on my teeth!

They remove 1 impacted and 1 expose wisdom teeth as painless as it can be. I am very grateful to doctor tim on how experienced and honest professional they all are. This dental clinic is the best in town no doubt.

I got two wisdom teeth removal here without being put under, I believe you do have the option if you would like but this was so quick and painless! I was in an out in like an hour and the longest part was waiting for the numbing to kick in.

Broke my jaw earlier this year and was referred here.

The doctor was very professional, he was willing to get my procedure scheduled quickly within a couple of days considering it was a quite a traumatic injury. He initially performed a closed reduction on my jaw which went smoothly, he was quite good with taking breaks and adjusting the anesthetic to let me be more comfortable during the procedure. Two months later he removed the rubber bands and the metal plates in another procedure which also went well. 3+ months later after the removal, my jaw is pretty much back to normal, so would highly recommend!

Dr. Nguyen is very professional,knowledgeable and has expertise with oral surgery. The staff will welcome you the moment you enter the office. Tracy the office manager is very helpful and will go above and beyond to accomodate your request. She has empathy with patients and this is the reason I keep choosing this clinic even if I have to drive far.

Was recommended by my dentist to come here for my wisdom teeth removal and they accepted Delta Dental. I called on a Monday evening to book a consultations and they had openings the next day. I booked a Wednesday consultation and check in was easy once I got there. They took me back for my X-ray and once that was done, Dr. Nguyen took a look at it and went over the complications that may arise. He also discussed the what anesthesia I wanted and told the assistant to just show me the cost of both. Then told me that there was an opening next Wednesday and left. I honestly liked how straight to the point he was as he wasn’t rude, but just a straightforward man. The assistant went over my options and booked me the appointment and I was on my way.
Day of extraction, the receptionist made sure to go over the consent form and also where my prescription should’ve sent. Then I was let back to the room. First a topical anesthesia was applied and then Dr. Nguyen came and injected the local anesthesia. After waiting, he then began the procedure, but first told me to let him know if it still hurt. Throughout the processes, there were times when it did hurt, but he made sure to stop and inject more of the anesthesia. Overall, the extraction took about 20 minutes (all impacted, 1 tooth had partial eruption, 3 had not erupted). There were times when he had to press down on my jaw to get it out, but overall wasn’t that unpleasant of a process. The assistant went over after care and I was sent on my way about 30-35 minutes after I walked through the door.
Will update after my mouth has had time to heal.

Hello Everyone

I never share a review however i would like to share my experience for implant procedure. I am very sensitive to pain and i was not sure if i can handle the pain-. Dr Timothy as a person is so kind and gentle and his dental experience is so extraordinary that i didn’t feel any pain during the procedure as well as later on.

I highly recommend this Place as the staff and everyone specially the Dental staff is very helpful and caring in nature.
