His patients have excellent experiences with him, one stating, “I have been going to United Dental for about 4 years. Through these years, my son needed braces, my daughter was born with low enamel formation so needed constant checkups, I needed fillings, my husband needed yearly check-up and the list goes on and on. Instead of charging us insane amounts of money every time like other dentists, Dr. Thai and his team would recommend minimum fillings or crowns. For my 9-year-old daughter, I remember Dr. Thai just sitting and thinking for a long time so as to figure out how to not cause her pain for her first filling as her gums were covering the tooth. The caring does not end there. My mother, visiting from Pakistan, had no insurance and had a severe toothache. Dr. Thai and his wonderful team gave her an appointment in two days, pulled the tooth for a minute amount of money and made her laugh the whole time. The respect for diversity, the care given to patients, the efficiency of follow-up and the attention paid to avoid unnecessary cost for the procedure is unmatched. The receptionists and the assistants are like family to me. I highly highly recommend this practice. I trust them with my whole family.”

General dentists provide a wide array of services that are vital to patients’ continued health. These services include preventive services, including helping to maintain good oral health by stopping disease before it takes hold in the mouth; restorative services, such as receiving timely and appropriate treatment when a problem is identified; as well as cosmetic services, including performing a range of cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, and even porcelain veneers. General dentists also address overall health concerns as oral health is seen as the mirror of general health. In fact, some dental problems may reflect issues in other parts of the body and vice versa.
