I’ve had a great experience with Selective Dental every single time. The office is spotless and the staff is genuinely wonderful, but what I appreciate most is how they respect my time — I’m never stuck in the waiting room for more than 5 minutes. Their reminder system (texts and calls) is really helpful and gets you on top of your cleanings, and they’ve been incredibly accommodating when I’ve had urgent issues. Definitely 5 stars.

I don’t really write reviews unless something is genuinely good. Having said that, this dentistry practice is genuine and good. The doctor is respectful, knowledgable, and everyone will listen to your concerns and respect your decisions and what you want done.
– Joel Ramirez

Dr. Vuong and the entire team from hygienists to administrative is top notch. Dental cleanings and proceedures are done meticulously with adequate time spent. Never feels rushed. Great experience every time, for years.

Dr. Vuong generally recommends visiting Selective Dental twice a year (every six months) for routine checkups and professional cleanings. Regular visits allow Dr. Vuong to detect early signs of plaque buildup, gum inflammation, or decay before they progress into costly or painful conditions.

Skipping routine dental visits allows plaque and tartar to accumulate in hard-to-reach areas. Over time, this can lead to tooth decay, chronic bad breath, and gum disease (periodontitis). During your checkups, Dr. Vuong evaluates not only your teeth, but also your gums and oral tissues to protect your overall systemic health.

Early tooth decay may not always cause noticeable pain. However, common warning signs include:

• Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks

• Mild to sharp pain when biting down

• Visible dark spots, white patches, or holes on your teeth

• Persistent bad taste or food getting stuck between specific teeth

If you experience any of these signs, Dr. Vuong can perform a digital exam to pinpoint the issue and discuss conservative treatment options.

When Dr. Vuong evaluates a cavity early, a simple filling can restore the tooth. If left untreated, bacteria penetrate deeper into the dentin and pulp chamber, potentially causing severe infections, abscesses, or tooth loss that may require root canal therapy or extractions.

Protect your smile with gentle, experienced care from a trusted local provider. Whether you are due for a routine cleaning or need specialized restorative work, Dr. Victoria Vuong and the team at Selective Dental are here to support your smile goals.
