Phuong Cheng, DDS

When I was young, I had a horrible dentist. He was rough, mean and made me cry. After being traumatized as a child, I’ve always hated going to the dentist. Every dental experience I’ve had since then has been equally bad. Cleanings, fillings, anesthetic shots are all so uncomfortable and painful. For an hour, my whole body is tense, my hands sweat — a visit to the dentist is like a grueling workout!
I never knew there could exist a dentist like Dr. Phuong Cheng! I feel no pain or discomfort during any of her procedures. When giving shots, she wiggles your mouth and injects the needle very slowly, so that you feel NOTHING AT ALL! Shockingly, I actually feel calm and relaxed when having dental work done with her. She’s extremely patient and ensures that the work she does is perfect. She explains everything in terms you can understand and gives advice you can trust. She truly cares about your dental health and wants to do all she can to prevent you from needing extreme procedures. She understands the need for excellent customer service and to be up to date technologically — traits very lacking in many other dentists. Highly, highly recommended. 10 stars!!!

Dr. Phuong Cheng is awesome, awesome, awesome. I found her a few years ago through the recommendation of a friend and I couldn’t be happier with her services. My last dentist who shall go unnamed was a highly reviewed dentist in Daly City. However, Unilocal failed me in this situation. While his office was pretty, he rushed through every appointment with me and I ended up with terrible dental work that needed to get repaired. Not so with Dr. Cheng.
She is an artist and perfectionist in every sense of the word. Dr. Cheng will not let me go home until my bite is perfect after a filling. Her works looks amazing and has stood the test of time, She is also incredibly gentle and does that cheek wiggle thing during the injection. I have never even winced during her painless injections. She will even call me at home to check and see how I am doing after a procedure. It’s the little things like this that really really impress me about her. She truly cares about her patients and would never push unnecessary work on her patients. She is so genuine and honest and I truly cannot recommend her enough.
Dr. Cheng also does great cosmetic dentistry. She does whitening as well as Invisalign braces. In fact, she did Invisalign for the same friend that referred me to her. His teeth now look amazing. Like I said she’s an artist and your mouth is her canvas.
The office is small but high tech. Parking is pretty accessible although it can get busy at Trader Joes. One of the perks of this office is that it’s located in the Westlake shopping center. There’s lots to do here after seeing the dentist.

Dr. Cheng has been my dentist for years and this review is long overdue. She is very thorough and the work I’ve gotten from her has stood the test of time. Dr. Cheng is extremely empathetic and on more than one occasion has used her personal time to accommodate me. She is an excellent dentist and will do her best to give you a beautiful long lasting smile.

Dr. Cheng recently fitted my dad for dentures, and it was a great experience from start to finish. She is very conscientious and meticulous. On top of that, she was able to deal with my fussy dad. Most importantly, my dad loves his new set of teeth!!!
It was easy to set appointments up on a short notice, when my dad needed an adjustment made. The staff is professional and friendly.
Only qualm is I wished the office was open on Saturdays. Otherwise, I would recommend her to anyone needing a dentist in the area.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Cheng ever since her days in the Mission. She is an absolutely fantastic dentist and person. Ever since a very bad dental experience as a child, I’ve been terrified of the dentist. Dr. Cheng caters to cowards like me. She takes her time with the injection and uses distraction techniques to ease the pain. In fact, I never feel her injections. She definitely has a woman’s touch.
She just bought over a dental practice from a retired dentist. The office is a bit old school but Dr. Cheng has made many high tech upgrades.
Dr. Cheng is extremely caring and honorable. She never tries to upsell me and will give me an honest opinion about what needs to be done and what can wait. She has been a fantastic dentist for me and my family.
