Dr. Kwon and staff are responsive and receptive. I broke a front tooth over the weekend. I left a message for Dr. Kwon and received a call back almost immediately. My tooth was repaired the very next day. Thank you Dr. Kwon and staff for putting me back together in less than 24 hours. You are amazing! Missy

I highly recommend Dr. Kwon and his dental hygienists. They are SO incredibly nice and excellent at what they do. I've visited his office several times, and I've always been highly satisfied with the work Dr. Kwon has done on my teeth. One of my lower teeth had a crown that was done by a previous dentist. It had chipped and it really did not look good or feel good. I was very self conscious of it because it showed when I spoke. When Dr. Kwon was finished I couldn't even tell which tooth had been restored. It matched all of my other teeth. I am thrilled with the results. It's so good to know that Dr. Kwon and his dental hygienists are there for me when I need them. I found my dentist!

Dr. Kwon and his staff are amazing. They use newer technology and every part is explained as needed, and you are kept comfortable and aware of what the process is, from a dental cleaning, to a filling to a crown. Very happy with the service here.

I found my forever dentist!! We recently moved to Chester and needed to find a dental care. I am so happy I reached out to Dr. Kwon's office. My first appointment was for a routine cleaning. The hygienist was welcoming, professional, precise, and gentle. When Dr Kwon came in, we exchanged introductions and I talked about my teeth. He told me I had a "beautiful smile." I don't think a dentist has ever said that to me. It just made me want to smile and show off my teeth. I love that he is so approachable. I have always had terrible anxiety and fear associated with dentists. My second visit was to be fitted for a mouth guard. He checked my bite and thought that a crown needed to be filed. What a difference the filing made in my mouth. I feel as though an obstruction is gone even though the tooth was just filed a little bit. To my surprise I heard the sound of the drill(?) and did not flinch. That is a first for me. Dr. Kwon possesses a gentleness that is reassuring and calming. I was also surprised that they scanned my mouth rather than having me sit with a mold forming in my mouth for ten minutes. The scanning technology is much more comfortable. I felt welcomed, relaxed, and was reassured. Thank you.

A dental visit is not high priority in the things I like to do but this office is really amazing! All of the staff is extremely professional, timely, but most of all they have expertise in their field, they and Dr. Kwan are extremely available to listen to any concerns, and they explain things clearly. I had a dental cleaning and some cavity work done by the dentist and I feel very pleased with the care I am receiving at this facility.

The staff at Deep River Family Dental are extremely professional and friendly. I needed to get new crowns on my two front teeth and they came out looking very good and extremely natural. I have had other fillings and cleanings and the level of service throughout, has been exceptional! Every time I need an appointment, Sue at the front desk is always on top of putting me on the calendar and getting me in the door.

Dr. Kwon is awesome. He recently took over the office from the previous owner so I was unsure how things would be, but he already seems to have a great relationship with the old staff! Dr. Kwon is very friendly, listened to my problems, and was able to make everything regarding treatment clear and easy. My family and I will continue seeing Dr. Kwon and I will recommend his office to anyone looking for a dentist. Thank you Dr. Kwon.

I've never written a google review in my life but here I am because my first experience with Deep River Family Dental and Dr.Kwon was immaculate and should not go unnoticed! I recently moved to New Haven and had 8 cavities that needed to be take care of ASAP. Thankfully, my coworker referred me to Dr.Kwon at Deep River Family Dental. Switching to a new dentist is never easy for me but once I visited him and his team, I was very relieved. Dr.Kwon and his staff members are: 1. Highly professional and interested in your care (rare case with dentists nowadays!) 2. Passionate and well rounded! 3. Honest and warm care Dr.Kwon isn't just a "nice" dentist but an advanced while experienced dentist with the most advanced technology and equipment. I could tell he is committed to making each patient's dental experience as comfortable, affordable, and effective as possible. 10/10 would recommend.

The best !!! If you are looking for a practice that cares about you as a person, your dental history and the care you should maintain moving forward you have found it with Deep River Family Dental. From walking in, you're greeted with a friendly face and always a smile from Sue. She is attentive and always makes sure you have the information you need regarding services (and the billing aspect). Ellen & Michelle are so wonderful! Really patient and diligent with you during your cleaning. Hard to talk when your mouth is open - but always makes for a fun conversation. Lastly, Dr Kwon. He knows his stuff !! A sigh of relief when a doctor actually sits there and explains what you need and how he can best help you. Truly exceptional with his mannerism and how he does care about you. While I was a long time patient of Dr Tunicks - I am SO glad I stayed on with Dr Kwon and Deep River Family Dental.

Had my first visit with Dr. Kwon a few days again, really great experience. Staff were extremely friendly and professional and I felt like he was being honest and trustworthy with his treatment plan (we all know how dentists sometimes upsell, so it was incredibly refreshing to have an honest take on what I did and didn't need.) I was going to a larger dental chain but I really like the warm and friendly vibes here of a small, homie office, so Dr. Kwon is definitely my dentist from here on out!

I went to Dr. K while I was on vacation and came down with a bad case of tooth pain. I was afraid I'd need a few crowns and root canals and stated that plainly when I was in his office. He looked at my x-rays and told me I likely only needed one root canal, but I'll probably need to get a crown in the future. My insurance only covers me so much a year, and he adjusted my care to fit that.
