an artist when it comes to smiles

I highly recommend Dr. Bic Chiem. She is an amazing cosmetic dentist who is very detailed oriented, highly skilled, has a great eye, and is an artist when it comes to smiles. Prior to meeting Dr. Chiem, I’ve had existing issues and work done on my teeth that needed to be fixed. Some veneers I’ve had in the past would crack, wouldn’t work with my bite (or over bite) and would come off. Dr. Chiem worked very well with me and the ceramist Chris from the lab to achieve natural, beautiful results. She always asked for my opinion and what I thought each step of the way. I always valued her opinion as well. When evaluating temporary or final (veneers in this case), she is incredibly detailed and sees much more than shade and shape of teeth. You can tell that she has had lots of experience, training, incredible technique, and has done many cases.

What I’ve learned from Dr. Chiem is cosmetic dentistry is a process that takes time, not only two weeks as many dentists promote/advertise. They do not specialize in cosmetic dentistry. There is a lot involved in cosmetic dentistry to achieve desired results — from a thorough exam at the beginning and making sure your teeth are healthy before any work is done, developing a model, temporaries, design checks, and try-ins, so the patient will know what the final result will look like and to make sure it works well with the patient (i.e patient’s bite, speech, etc) before the final cementation. It takes time and patience and the end result is definitely worth it.

Finally, Dr. Chiem and her office staff are very warm, friendly, professional and take time with their patients.
