Timothy Chao, DDS

Dr. Timothy Chao, is an incredible Dentist. I’ve been going to him for 13+ years and l take my whole family to him as well. He has the latest in technology and is great with his hands. The staff is friendly and well trained. I use to hate the word Dentist as I’m sure we all do, but after going Dr. Chao I look forward to it knowing I’m in good hands and I’m well taken care of. Thank you Dr. Chao!

Very modern looking office, plenty of awesome technology, and a friendly, customer-​focused staff.
I went to see Dr. Chao while visiting California on a recommendation in the past (Chapman Dental). Since then, I have schedule my dental work around trips to the Orange County area. Dr. Chao is patient, and he listens well. He does his best to keep the patients as comfortable as possible, while providing top-​notch dental work.
The X-​Ray machine is new, and very cool! With new technology, the images of your teeth not only come out quickly, but are very clear.
Dr. Chao and his staff are also very good with children. They did their best to show Lola how everything worked.
There are some wonderful personal touches in the office as well. As him about some of the photos you see hanging on the walls!
Here’s the bottom line… does anyone really «enjoy» going to see a dentist? At best, you find out that the status quo is good. It’s not really good news, just news. At the worst, shots, drills, and tools which resemble medieval torture devices are laid out to make you crap your pants. Dr. Chao and his staff do a great job providing a comfortable, professional environment. He does wonderful work, and in my humble opinion, a very trustworthy and dependable dentist.

My dental visit with Dr. Chao was great! He was able to accommodate me in short notice. The high tech panoramic x-​ray was so painless compared to the conventional x-​ray, plus it was so accurate when he presented it to me on the big screen. He was also very thorough during the cleaning, plus I was even flossed afterwards. Great dentist, equipment and most importantly SERVICE!

I have been seeing Dr. Chao for a number of years for all my dental needs. So when he told me he was opening a location in Irvine I was pretty happy since it is closer to home and work for me than his office in Orange.
The office is brand new and very nice. It’s warm and inviting on the inside, so you don’t get the cold nervous feeling of going to the dentist.
All the equipment is brand new and state of the art. When I went in for my checkup recently, he used the x-​ray machine that does a pass around your head. No more choking on the plastic that other dentists stick in your mouth that make you gag. Major plus!
Dr. Chao is very good at explaining in detail the work he is going to perform. I had a root canal peformed by him previously. He explained all the things he was doing and completed it in quick fashion with minimal discomfort.
