Christine P Oh, DSS

My brother had great work done. He was scared and now his self confidence has boosted. Now it’s my turn. Thanks for helping us out!

What a blessing Dr Oh and her staff are! Everyone in my family has seen her now and really loves her. She has found and fixed several problems a previous dentist missed on my daughter. She is reasonable and kind and gentle. What a find she is. It’s hard to find a good, honest dentist… so glad we found her.

I love this place. Dr. Christine is exactly knows what she is doing and very honest about procedure & cost. She is not only such a good doctor but great person. She actually cares about her clients and always recommend the best option for them. I had root canal & braces treatment here and she did such a good job! I am so satisfied with her work & service. Staffs are very friendly, flexible and price is reasonable. I definitely recommend this place to my family & friends!

I have recently taken a new dentist after about 4 years visiting Dr. Oh’s office.
Before anything else I will say that the entire staff is wonderful and friendly. The facility is modern and clean and just very nice. She keeps DVDs to play which makes office visits very relaxing and enjoyable. It was these things that first attracted me to be a patient here, and also to stay for as long as I did. These things made me think about whether or not I should write this review at all.
The reason I’ve left is that Dr. Oh’s dental work is not satisfactory. The first crown she installed for me broke after three years. Her policy is that she will not correct the work unless I agree to buy a $ 1200 mouth guard. Let me tell you about that…
About a year ago I started grinding my teeth in my sleep, and when I went to the dentist, she pointed this out to me and suggested I buy a «night guard» to protect my teeth from being worn down. The price for this has fluctuated between $ 500~$ 1200. These things can be bought for about $ 5 at target or walmart, so i asked why the price was so high. Her answer was that she has to pay to go to expensive seminars, and that I’m paying for her «expertise». I could understand if a custom fit, lab fabricated mouth guard costs $ 100 or $ 200 to buy, but the idea that the middleman was extorting me for an arbitrary $ 300-​$ 1000 really bothered me.
When I went to my new dentist, he also pointed out that I grind my teeth, but also said that the surfaces of all 4 of my crowns needed to be adjusted, as they were not surfaced properly by Dr. OH. He installed a new crown which he assured me will not crack, and he corrected all my teeth that were not surfaced properly. Lo and behold, with proper dental work, I no longer grind my teeth at night, so i don’t need to buy an expensive $ 5 piece of plastic.
I have a few other complaints.
I like to know what is going on when people are poking around in my mouth so I have asked Dr. Oh please explain everything she is doing before she does it. I have had to remind her at least 3 times. Usually, she is willing to oblige, sometimes she argues with me about it. I’m pretty sure that as a patient, I have a right to know.
Several times when injecting novocaine into my gum before drilling, she has placed the needle improperly, causing it to pass through my tongue before finding it’s way into my gum, where she hit a nerve. This has happened on two occasions. It is difficult and frightening to try to explain to her that she has accidentally pinned my soft, vulnerable mouth parts together.
She is rough with my gums. She likes to rest her gloved hands on my lips and slide them around until my lips bleed.
She also likes to wave sharp pointy instruments around my face near my eyes when she is talking to (and looking at) the assistant. It makes me very uncomfortable.
I think she is very nice and I wish she would address these problems so that her practice can be popular and successful, but I had some very bad experiences there and the way things are now, I wouldn’t want anyone else to have to experience the same.

It was an ok visit but the tooth that my mom had fixed broke off…

Her office is great and she’s wonderful.
