Dr. Monica M. Trieu, DDS - General dentist in Irvine, CA

While Dr Trieu has been a Dentist since 1996, she has been in dentistry for most of her life. When most high schoolers were worried about what to wear to the senior prom, a young Monica was working in a dental office.

Dr. Trieu earned her Biological Sciences degree from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) and her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) at the prestigious School of Dentistry at UCLA. It was at UCLA where she showed a special knack for restoring teeth with composite fillings, earning her the moniker The Composite Queen.

Her community involvement included serving as the Dental Director for the Laguna Beach Community Clinic and assisting with the Share OurSelves organization, providing dental care for the underprivileged community.

I have been a patient of Dr. Trieu for over 12 years. She's out of my network but I wouldn't trust any other dentist to take as good care of my teeth. Dr. Trieu goes above and beyond to preserve my teeth and provide such personal care to us patients. She prioritizes patients over profits by focusing on caring for one patient at a time, doing all tasks meticulously (even the cleanings she does herself), and preserving the tooth rather than just immediately opting for expensive crowns. Also, she has the best chair-side manner. I have extreme anxiety when it comes to needles and dental work. But she is very gentle with the instruments and effective at calming me throughout the procedure. I feel so blessed to have her as my dentist!

Dr. Trieu is the best dentist I have *ever* had in my life. She is incredibly thorough and meticulous in caring for your teeth. I had TMJ pain for years before coming to see Dr Trieu. My previous dentists just told me to do jaw stretching movements, which only provided momentary relief and didn't address the root cause of the pain. Dr. Trieu showed me how I was clenching my teeth when I sleep. So she made me a night guard that is perfectly molded to fit my teeth. Once I started using that that my pain was gone! And that likely saved me from painful and expensive jaw surgery years down the line. Trust Dr. Trieu's expertise. She is worth every dollar. :-)

Dr. Trieu just has to be the most meticulous, gentle, and personable dentist (funny too!). She cares about each patient and always follows up so kindly post-appointment. My family of 6 feels so grateful for the personal attention Dr. Trieu gives us and each of her patients. She is the best dentist hands down and we would never think about going to anywhere else! We recommend her to everybody we know!

I never thought I'd enjoy going to the dentist, but Dr. Trieu changed that. She's a very warm person who cares a lot about her patients. She's very honest and has a great sense of humor ("only floss the teeth you want to keep" is one of my favorites). When you're there, you're her only patient, and she does all the work herself. And my teeth always feel so clean when I leave. I highly recommend Dr. Trieu.

Dr. Trieu is a personable, meticulous dentist. She cares for each patient's oral hygiene and takes her time to ensure that you are well cared for during your appointment, especially since she does the cleanings herself. Her approach to dentistry is conservative in the sense that she strives for preservation of your natural teeth before considering other methods such as crowns. Dr. Trieu is very dedicated to her patients. This has been evident in the times she has provided me with thorough cleanings, education on my oral hygiene and when she followed-up on how I was doing after an appointment. If you are searching for a caring and thorough dentist, Dr. Trieu is a wonderful choice!

Dr. Trieu is very passionate about dentistry. She is very thorough and answered all my questions. She really cares about her patients. She does cleaning herself! NO Hygenist!! She spent two hours on my cleaning. Felt so good after. I truly appreciate how she is very conservative and meticulous. The office is super clean. She got great sense of humor :) Thank you for going above and beyond for your patients. I highly recommend Dr. Trieu!

Dr. Trieu is a relentless perfectionist who performs all services herself (including routine cleanings). I've been treated by dentists in Spain, England, France, Italy, Holland, as well as other parts of the US, and she's by far the most passionate about dentistry, thorough, and patient-centric dentist I've ever been treated by.

Dr Trieu loves her profession and it shows. Expect top notch dental treatment in a gentle and caring environment. No rushed work here. There is a reason for the number of 5 star reviews and patients that are willing to travel from afar to avail themselves of her services.

Been with Dr.Trieu for 24 years. I've had many dentists over the years and none compare to Dr. Trieu in that she truly, no pun intended, is passionate about dentistry and the work she does in your mouth. Dr. Trieu's equipment is ultra clean, organized and well maintained. She only uses distilled water to mitigate bacteria during procedures. She is concerned about your overall health and well-being along with your teeth and mouth. She screens for signs of mouth cancer and periodontal disease regularly and gives clear instruction on how to care for your teeth and gums with demonstrations. She has modern equipment and makes referrals to top endodontists, periodontists and orthodontists when needed. Above all other dentists Dr. True has time tested results with sculpting large composite fillings that look great, feel natural and last for over two decades. Her crown fittings cannot be compared to any others too. Dr. Trieu's front desk staff are friendly and help with insurance and billing. A couple important things to keep in mind if you choose Dr. Trieu as your care provider. She expects as much from you as you do of her, in caring for your teeth. She is quick to point out if it looks like your dental health has declined and will show you new methods to improve it. She also charges a $50 fee if you miss an appointment but as long as you give enough advanced notice you don't incur this fee.

As a Dental Assistant for the past 7 years, I received the best deep cleaning I have ever had by Doctor Trieu. My teeth felt so clean and fresh that I did not want to eat anything that night. She spends an unprecedented amount of time on details that go unseen and unattended to by any other doctor. It is almost like she is performing an art while she works on teeth. She genuinely cares about the condition and state of each and every tooth in the patient's mouth, such as her owns. Her patients always return and usually do not accept anyone else's work, because she is just so vested in the dental health and hygiene of her patients. Doctor Trieu performs A to Z of the procedures herself as she thoroughly enjoys each and every step. Her goal is to save and preserve all of the natural teeth as much as possible. She works hard in order to keep the patients' teeth all natural. It is truly a pleasure to watch her work. I absolutely recommend her to every and anyone that I see, She is the best.

Dr. Trieu is wonderful. She is thorough in her exams and cleaning. She pays attention to details in her care for teeth, crowns, fillings...and everything else! I drive about 1.5 hours for my appointments because there is nobody else I trust to do what she does! I know my teeth are in good hands with her.

My husband and I have been going Dr. Trieu for over 14 years. She really is wonderful and truly cares about her patients. I have very sensitive teeth and she is extremely gentle during cleanings (which she does herself - no hygienists!). She's very meticulous as well and the crowns on my two front teeth she fixed for me (that were badly done by a previous dentist) have lasted 13+ years with no issues.

I have been a patient of Dr. Trieu's for over 20 years. She takes pride in her meticulous care for her patients dental health. She uses high quality equipment and materials in her practice. Her staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Her new office has a very clean and comfortable reception area and patient exam rooms. I highly recommend Dr. Monica Trieu's dental practice.

Dr. Trieu is the best. She takes care of her clients and she takes pride in that. I called her on her day off, not only she guided me what to do, She actually called a few dentist for me and set up a time last minute so I can be taken care of. She is super detail oriented and doesn't rush the procedure or overbook herself. She takes her time with her clients and explains everything. Dr. Trieu and her staff are awesome.

I wish I had found Dr. Trieu ages ago! She makes going to the dentist fun, has a great sense of humor, and is amazing at her job. She always educates me on what is happening during my visit, and is very conservative, and my teeth are thankful. I have never had such a thorough cleaning before! She is also fixing bad work done from previous dentist. There are a lot of bad apples out there, but Dr. Trieu makes up for them all.

Great dentist office. Very clean and hygienic. Dr. Trieu is super meticulous with cleaning and don't get me started on how nice the fillings she has done for me look. She even replaced a couple of old fillings and I couldn't be happier. If you are looking for a knowledgeable dentist that takes great pride in their work, True Smile Dentistry is for you.

If you are looking for the best and most detailed oriented and super extra thorough then Dr Trieu is the one. She explains to you every single details and she does everything by her hand and she only takes one patient at a time that means no other patients will be there during your appointment which mean you get full attention. I highly recommend Dr Trieu for any friends or family and for anyone who really cares about their tooth and you only take care of what you want to keep right?! :)

I recommend you consider Monica Trieu as your permanent dentist as long as you have teeth!
