Welcome to The Hills Modern Dentistry, the dental office of Laguna Hills Dentists Dr. Don Nguyen, Dr. Vivienne Ngo, & Dr. Robert Hammond. Our office has been providing families in and around the Laguna Hills, CA area with quality dental care for more than 40 years, focusing on a comprehensive approach to oral health.
Our history began in 1977, when Dr. Robert Hammond established his dental practice in Laguna Hills with the goal of creating a practice where good experiences were created. His practice was built on the strong belief in helping others, supporting individual health, and building a strong community. In 2017, Dr. Hammond announced his retirement from dentistry and selection of Dr. Don Nguyen & Dr. Vivienne Ngo, a USC trained husband and wife dental team from the Orange County area to carry on his legacy of dental excellence & the Trojan tradition.
The Hills Modern Dentistry was established by the doctors with the goal of serving their community with a distinct level of dental care and compassion from caring and family-friendly professionals. Their practice philosophy stems from their desire to listen, learn, and understand the needs of each individual patient. In doing so, the doctors strive to provide the best possible dental care, delivered with skill and the pursuit of perfection in a comfortable setting. Feel free to contact our dental office today at (949) 830-1395 to schedule your next checkup and cleaning.
Dr. Vivienne Ngo, or Dr. Vivienne as she is known, immigrated to New Orleans, Louisiana from Vietnam at the age of one before moving to Southern California for the remainder of her childhood. As an Orange County native, she attended Fountain Valley High School and later earned her Bachelors Degree in International Studies from the University of California, Irvine. During her undergraduate studies, Dr. Vivienne worked as a dental assistant where she developed an inherent appreciation for the dental field and the satisfaction derived from providing dental care to patients. As a result of her passion for Dentistry, she pursued and earned a Dental Degree from theUniversity Of Southern California School Of Dentistry.
Dr. Vivienne has made listening and caring the cornerstone of her practice of Dentistry. She believes that patients need to have a chance to say what concerns them, and after gathering information through examination and X-rays, an informative explanation of their choices. Along with her education, being an associate dentist in family private practices in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas have provided her the skills to be a proficient and efficient practitioner in the treatment of crowns & bridges, root canal therapy, removable prosthethics, Invisalign & pediatrics. She is an active member of theAmerican Dental Association,California Dental Association, andOrange County Dental Society.
Aside from dentistry, Dr. Vivienne finds adventure in traveling the world and exploring new foods and cultures with her husband, Dr. Don, their daughter Sofie-Rose, and son Bennett-James. Her other hobbies include spending time with family, cooking, working out and reading. Dr. Vivienne is also fluent in English, Vietnamese and conversational German.
I have received great personal reward from dentistry over the last 40 years, however the time has come for me to retire from my dental practice and concentrate on enjoying life with my family. It has been my singular honor and privilege to be your dentist, and I have sincerely appreciated your confidence and trust by allowing me to care for your dental health.
After a long and careful search, I have chosen the right dentists to take over my dental practice. Dr. Don Nguyen and Dr. Vivienne Ngo are a husband and wife dental team from the Orange County area who earned their Dental Degrees from my alma Mater, the University of Southern California School of Dentistry. Their enthusiastic and caring manners are closely aligned with my philosophy of care. With their combined experience and education I assure you that excellent dental care will continue. They will also offer specialty services including digital x-rays, invisalign orthodontics, root canal therapy, pediatrics and cosmetic dentistry all of which they are proficient and competent at. Like me, they love dentistry and are excited to meet you and continue serving your dental needs. Interestingly, Dr. Don has aspired to becoming a dentist since he was nine years old.

I haven't found a dentist since moving back to OC and I am SO thrilled I found Dr. Don and Dr. Vivienne. They are so incredibly kind, professional, and knowledgeable. The staff made me feel like family right away. I had to make a few schedule changes and the front desk was super accommodating. Zahra did my teeth cleaning and was very thorough in the cleaning, as well as going over my at-home care in order to prevent any further issues. I actually look forward to my next visit in September! I will to continue to be a patient here as long as I am in the OC area.

I completed a repair of a cracked molar with Dr. Don this morning. He explained the entire procedure in great detail and prepared my tooth to receive a crown two weeks from now. Going to the dentist is never fun but when I sit in a dentist chair for two hours without pain then I consider that an excellent experience. The staff at The Hills Modern Dentistry are friendly and very helpful.

Everyone at The Hills Modern Dentistry is absolutely, hands-down incredible! All staff members that I had the pleasure of interacting with today were kind, caring, fun, and hospitable. The atmosphere is open and warm, and they really work on creating relationships with their patients. Dr. Vivienne Ngo is amazing! She answered all my questions and, as a first-time patient, she made my experience comfortable and engaging. Absolutely love it here!

Staff is super friendly and welcoming, and Dr. Don is awesome. Came in needing corrective work on some fillings done. He thoroughly explained every step of the work he intended to do to fix my issue and his reasoning behind it, and was willing to work with me and trust my input along the way. Happy to have found my new dental office!

I had the good fortune of choosing The Hills Modern Dentistry, Dr. Don and Dr. Vivienne, when my previous dentist proved to be a huge disappointment. I have been so happy with the excellent care and the great staff. Dental work is an art and the experience I had with Dr. Don and Dr. Vivienne was the finest I have ever had. I had 9 teeth replaced with porcelain crowns and could not be happier. I have always been unhappy with my smile and this experience has me smiling all the time. Thank you so much Dr. Don and staff. You all get an A plus for sure!!!
