San Mateo Center for Cosmetic Dentistry - Dr. Michael Wong

Dr. Wong and his staff are the ultimate professionals. They found me a convenient appointment time which was made more difficult during the pandemic. The office took every measure of covid safety to keep the patients and staff safe without affecting their service level. It is a high quality service dental practice with a personable staff, what more can you ask for 😄

Met with Dr. Wong over Zoom for a consultation. He is so friendly and helpful and personable. We made a plan for whitening and bonding and set up 3 future meetings (he set them up directly which is much easier than scheduling through someone else later). Looking forward starting my plan!

You can skip reading most of these generic and short reviews of Dr. Wong because they don't describe his expertise in cosmetic dentistry. I had an appointment with Dr. Wong today to have him fix the bad job done on me by another dentist (Dr. ABC). My initial issue was translucency on my front two teeth. I saw Dr. ABC weeks ago due to convenience and timing, and I regret that. He layered on way too much composite, giving me that slight buck-teeth look. The composite he chose was a little too dark/yellow for me. He didn't shape the composite well at all. And lastly, my teeth felt rough due to the inadequate polishing. The results I got with Dr. Wong and Dr. ABC are night and day - stark contrast. Within an hour, I went from feeling uncertain to elated. As I laid on the chair, I discussed with Dr. Wong my concern and options to fix and improve my teeth. We veered a little off course as I decided to get the black triangle between my front teeth "filled in" in addition to re-doing the composite bonding on the front surfaces. During the procedure, Dr. Wong was meticulous in his craft - this was very apparent in his polishing especially. He brought up the shape of my teeth and what could look better. Also, he explained to me what was and was not advisable to do to my teeth which I truly appreciated. When I was handed the mirror to look at the final product, I was thrilled. The black triangle was greatly reduced. The extremely slight middle gap between my two front teeth was closed. The translucency was masked and my teeth didn't feel thick. Instead of my front teeth looking and feeling boxy, they were nicely contoured and looked aesthetically pleasing. The color was spot on - a shade brighter than what I previously had. But wait, there's more. Dr. Wong also gave me a more squarish shape to the bottom front corners of my teeth without charging me. I am extremely grateful for this. I've always wanted them shaped like that and was always jealous of people who naturally had these contours. Lastly, my teeth feel so smooth - much smoother than from the previous botch job. There is no hyperbole in my review. The feeling I had leaving Dr. ABC's office was: "What the hell did I get myself into?" After today, I feel like I made the best decision, have the best two front teeth out of all of my friends, and want to smile and show off my nicer smile. As a kid who had moderately crooked teeth and a very noticeable white spot on a front tooth, I know the feeling from both sides of the spectrum. I went from being incredible self-conscious to smiling a lot through cosmetic bonding and orthodontia. With Dr. ABC, those self-conscious feelings came back. With Dr. Wong, I'm back to smiling big. In fact, my two front teeth have never looked better. If you're looking for a cosmetic dentist, I urge you to consider Dr. Wong. Do not go to a general dentist, prosthodontist, or any doctor ending in ist without doing your research. Other doctors' recommendations are not good enough. It's just not worth your time and money to go to any dentist because cosmetic dentistry is an art. Don't be stupid like me and think that all dentists know how to do everything and are properly trained. Also, don't consider a dentist based on his/her office appearance. I've gone to those with bigger spaces, modern architecture, and more sophisticated décor - most of them don't live up to their ambiance. Dr. Wong's space is smaller but is homely and comfortable which definitely works for me. Dr. Wong's costs are also reasonable for someone of his caliber. And as I mentioned, he did some extra work on me without charging me. Lastly, the receptionists and coordinators do a great job. They always pick up the phone when I call and were able to reschedule my appointment to a more ideal time. Thank you, Dr. Wong and staff, for the great job you've done!

I have been a patient of Dr Wong’s for many years. He is up to date on technology and dental care. His office staff is caring and concerned about your comfort. Everyone is on time and efficient. I recently had a dental emergency and they made time for me and took care of the problem immediately. I highly recommend Dr Wong!

Top-notch dentistry with the latest technology, a dentist who explains everything, friendly assistants, and techniques so pain-free that I often fall asleep during procedures. Highly recommended.
