I recently had radiation treatments, so I need to get my teeth checked more than before. Went in, Sept 30, 2024, had the x-rays done. He came in and checked my teeth and found a cavity in upper molar. It was between a crown and the molar in front of it. He had to remove the crown to get to the cavity. Worked on the tooth and put in a temporary crown. Told me it was going to be sensitive for a while. Ok. A month later it was still sensitive to cold. Went back in and he said people heal differently and that the sensitivity will take again, "A WHILE". 4 months later it is still very sensitive to cold. Went back in today Wednesday March 5th. Took more x-rays. He came in and said he didn't do a filling just a crown replacement. WHAT?! You did a crown replacement because you had to remove the existing crown to get to the cavity!! Then he had the nerve to tell me I needed a root canal and if I wanted to schedule. Adios!

I just had three cavities filled this morning in less than an hour. Dr. Hong is very skilled and precise to take care of you. "Simple cavities need simple fillings." He's been there since 2001. He cleans your teeth to assess. The building is in an unassuming strip mall which doesn't look fancy but inside things are simple and clean. He's my new dentist! The staff is nice and I've gotten appointments really fast.

I had many cavities filled by Dr.Hong about 13 years ago when I was only 17. He did most of my dental work when I was young. After all these years all of my fillings that he did on me are still in great shape! Including a front tooth #8 to be exact where he did a composite/resin filling which i had broken in half. I thought it was going to need a root canal or crown after so long but nope. Still looks as good as when he filled it. I am no longer his patient because I no longer live there. But so thankful for the work he did on me!

Questions People Ask

Does Dr. Louis Hong take Denti-Cal?

Yes. This dentist appears in the state's published list of enrolled Denti-Cal providers. Taking the coverage and having an opening are two different things, so still call ahead.

How do I make an appointment?

Call (831) 768-0707 and say you have Medi-Cal dental. Or use the form on this page. Your request goes to the office if it takes requests here, and to our team if it does not. Nobody else gets it.

What will it cost me?

For most Denti-Cal covered treatment there is no copay. If the office suggests something the program does not cover, ask for the price in writing before you agree.
