I highly recommend Ace Dental to anyone looking for a family dentist. I've been going there for 11 years and I have no reason to go anywhere else. Dr. Thu and his team are honest, gentle, kind, and sincere people. The quality of care I receive is excellent! He is great with small children and teens. My daughters, who are 7 and 14, have been going since they were babies. They have no fear, in fact, they look forward to going. If you have had bad experiences in the past that have made you anxious about going to the dentist, don't worry because he is very patient and understanding and has great chairside manners. I feel welcomed and consider them like family!

I wouldn’t know where to start to say so many amazing things about DR.ZAW THU. He truly healed me from my phobia I had from the dentist that had me mentally paralyzed due to so much anxiety & panic attacks from previous trauma. The minute I stepped into the office his receptionist were incredibly nice and very welcoming I felt comfortable and at peace . DR ZAW’s personality and his patience towards me brought me so much comfort I felt the peace & comfort while he did my root canal treatment, I couldn’t thank him enough for the patience and amazing work he did, mostly the phobia that he healed me from.
Thank you DR ZAW & your great team for such an amazing experience 🤎
