I have a passion for dentistry and have been in this field for over 27 years. One of the reasons I love what I do is being able to help my patients. I've been married to my husband Ezequiel for 26 years and we have 4 wonderful children. Alex, my oldest son, is 20 years old attends Palomar College. Then I have my little monkeys Jared, Izabella and Alejandra, our set of triplets! triple the joy, and triple the trouble. Our household is always busy but always loving.

Here at the office you can find me assisting you with all your financial needs, insurance questions, and greeting you with a happy smile.
Allison was raised in San Clemente, CA and now lives in Bonsall, she found dentistry as a passion while exploring health care careers. As a dental hygienist, she strives daily to give our patients the highest standard of care, because she believes the mouth is the gateway to overall holistic health.

Allison and her husband have one son named Odin and two dogs.
Do you have missing teeth? It is critically important to replace missing teeth. Eating and chewing with missing teeth can sabotage your bite and lead to incessant discomfort. Missing teeth can give rise to a mouth rearrangement that often results in facial changes that look decrepit.
A single tooth implant procedure may be done if a tooth has been extracted or is missing. A titanium implant base is placed into the jawbone to resemble the tooth root. We allow a period of time for the jawbone to heal over the implant base before fitting for a crown.
A crown is sometimes termed a 'cap' or 'jacket.' A crown will restore a large filling or a cracked tooth to its original size, shape and tooth color. A crown may be recommended after root canal therapy has been completed, as the tooth tends to become brittle and is more likely to fracture. A crown can strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and improves the appearance of your teeth. With the advances in technology, we now have the ability to make ceramic crowns with no metal.
To place a crown, your dentist must reduce 1-2 mm of the tooth to make room for it. Your dentist will then use a piece of thread or cord or use a laser to push the gum down around the tooth, to take an impression of the tooth. The impressions are sent to the lab where the crown is made. During that time, you will have a temporary crown. These crowns are usually made of plastic and are made in your dentist's office on the day of your visit. They are not meant to last. If a temporary crown is left in the mouth, the cement eventually washes out and the tooth can decay. At a second visit, your dentist will remove the temporary crown and test the permanent one. Sometimes crowns need additional polishing, glaze or some other adjustment before they are placed. Once the crown is ready, it's cemented to your tooth.
If your smile is in need of a makeover, crowns can provide predictable results. Crowns can give an unattractive tooth back its beautiful shape and color. For smaller or worn down teeth, a crown can restore the natural size of the old tooth. A crown can replace either part of or the tooth's entire structure. For procedures requiring only the areas visible from the outside, a veneer may be an alternative option.
The most common type of crown and has a proven track record. PFM crowns are fairly aesthetic and they look like real teeth. However, the margins or borders may appear dark because PFM crowns have a metal substructure with layers of porcelain fired over the substructure. Porcelain is very hard, much harder than natural enamel and may cause excessive wear of the enamel of opposing teeth. Porcelain may break with extreme biting forces.

I love this dentist! I have had a lot of previous bad experiences with other dentists, that led to a lot of personal dentist anxiety. This dentist has helped that! Dr. Nguyen is very gentle and empathetic, as well as both the hygenists who have worked on me. The office is also spacious and private, with a nice outdoor window view from the exam rooms to help distract and relax you. I would recommend this dentsit to anyone else who is afraid of the dentist like me.

I had a temporary crown come off in two days from another Fallbrook dentist so on a referral from a friend both my wife and I went to Dr. Nguyen. My crown took only a couple of weeks and I cannot even feel it. Plus, this office accepts Aetna Savings so instead of the quoted $1800 from the previous dentist, this office charged $950. A wonderful dentist, wonderful office staff, and a much better price to boot. Go see him.

Dr. Nguyen and every staff member in the office provide excellent dental service! I walked into the office with an infection around my dental implant that was causing serious pain. Dr. Nguyen and staff were able to save my implant, regrow the bones around the implant, and install a crown on my implant in a few months. They even completed a deep cleaning and regular cleaning of my teeth in between the work on my implant. I would reccomend Dr. Nguyen and staff to anyone who needs dental work completed. Truly amazing work!

This is the best dental experience I have ever had! It all started with a sore tooth that turned excruciating, I got an appointment quickly, like the next day. Got an x-ray and a run down of what was going on. Got antibiotics and pain medicine, got an appointment scheduled a few days later once the antibiotics kicked in for a double root canal, they gave me medicine to help me relax before the procedure since I always used to be terrified of the dentist, Alejandra and Justin Nguyen were so kind to me the entire time, explained everything to me that was going on, made sure I was comfortable, overall the best experience I've ever had at the dentist and I will never find anywhere else to go for my dental needs. Doctor Nguyen now sees my 9 year old daughter as well. Not to mention, it was also cheaper than any other person I have talked to about root canals! Permanent crowns are in now too and it was like nothing ever happened! Would highly recommend to anyone! Even if it's a little bit of a drive, it's completely worth it!!

Had to get a root canal which is obviously not the most pleasant of experiences. Dr Nguyen explained every step in the procedure and then went ahead and got to work. This was a PAIN FREE procedure and when I woke up the next morning I had no pain or swelling. Plus, I got a crown put in that matched my teeth perfectly. Amazing dentist, will use again.

I had a root canal and crown done here. I would recommend this dentist to everyone. The dentist and his staff are very kind and even give you a blanket when you are having dental procedures done. I am happy to say I am pain free now, and no longer suffer from headaches from my decayed tooth. I am so thankful I can smile and eat again, and feel like a normal person.

Love this office for my kids and myself, Alejandra the assistant ,was like family with her 30+ years of experience, as she calmed my kids down by talking to them through the process of fixing their cavities. Dr. Nguyen talked me through the x-rays and and let me decide what was best for my child with the pro's and cons. Thank you for your transparency and wanting to do what's best for my kids.

I had a great experience at the office starting with Alejandra the receptionist, she was so professional and well knowledgeable. Alejandra got me in to see the hygienist Allison before the end of the year. Allison was awesome and did a great job cleaning my teeth. She made me feel so comfortable and was so friendly. Dr Nguyen was great he did a complete exam and did not try to sell me dentistry. I highly recommend the office to anyone who needs a honest dentist

I recently had a very successful root canal with Dr Justin Nguyen. Despite Covid-19 pandemic they were able to accommodate me at short notice as I was in such pain. Everyone at their office is very professional right down to the front desk. I had a small hiccup with my insurance and they were able to work with me to sort it out. My work was done very professionally and efficiently and I'm super happy with the results. I can honestly recommend Dr Justin for all your dental needs.

The only thing that gives me anxiety is a trip to the dentist...and here they not only understand that but go out of their way to make it comfortable for me. This is the first time I've ever written a review like this and I'm doing it because Dr. Nguyen and his staff are top notch and deserve every bit of praise.
