Long Beach, CA Gentle Dentistry
What would the ideal dental office look like to you?
You probably picture a warm and inviting environment staffed with friendly professionals who help you feel at home and not at all like you are in a dentist’s office.
That is exactly the experience we want to create for you every time you visit the office of Andrew R. Jung, DDS. Of course, providing exceptional dental care is serious, but that doesn’t mean our office has to look or feel sterile or unwelcoming!
We know that dental care is a personal experience. Whenever you place yourself in the hands of a healthcare professional, the relationship should be based on caring, trust, and understanding. This relationship allows us to provide you with dentistry that serves all your needs, including (and especially!) your comfort and well-being.
Your Comfort Is Our Highest Priority
Dental anxiety is very common, so you shouldn’t feel like it’s just you. There are many different reasons why people experience anxiety – it may be the smell of the office, the sound of dental instruments, or the fear of injections. Whatever your concern, we will tailor your treatment to make sure that every experience you have with us is pleasant and stress free.
Dr. Jung and our team are sensitive to your needs. We talk to you about your procedure and what you can expect, and we’ll listen to your concerns so that we can tailor your treatment to fit your needs. Before we begin your procedure, we'll start by applying a topical numbing gel to the area to be treated. Dr. Jung is skilled at giving injections, and we can assure you that yours will be as comfortable as possible.
Your comfort is our highest priority, so during your appointment we will pamper you with pillows, blankets, and lip balm. While we work to improve your oral health, you can drift off to your choice of music with Spotify and our noise-reducing headphones.
Safe, Gentle Nitrous Oxide
If you’re very anxious and need a little extra help, we offer safe and effective nitrous oxide (laughing gas). Nitrous Oxide helps you relax and allows the noises and activity around you to fade into the background. There are no lingering after-effects, so following your procedure, you’ll be able to resume your normal daily activities.
Warm and Friendly Environment
From the moment you arrive at the office of Andrew R. Jung, DDS, you will know that you are not in a typical dental office. You will be welcomed by one of our friendly staff who will greet you and ask about your day. To keep you comfortable during your brief wait, we offer complimentary beverages like coffee and bottled water, available in our reception area.
If you’ve been avoiding dental treatment because of overwhelming anxiety, we would love the chance to show you the difference that gentle care in a warm, inviting environment can make. Please contact our Long Beach, CA dental office to learn more about our comfortable personalized dentistry.
Very Caring and Comfortable
My previous dentist retired, so I had to find a new one. I did extensive research before narrowing it down to two dentists, one of which was Dr. Jung. He had great reviews, so I called his office to find out more and spoke to Mylene, the front office manager. She was very friendly and helpful and took the time to explain Dr. Jung's experience and philosophy in caring for his clients. She also called my insurance company and explained the coverage I would have with Dr. Jung. Mylene was much more helpful than the other dentist's office I called, so I decided I would give Dr. Jung a try.
Dr. Jung is great, he is very caring and sensitive to my needs. I had a very horrific experience with my previous dentist's associate who literally jammed the anesthesia needle into my gum, since then I am extremely fearful of the needle. Dr. Jung uses a 3-step process to numb the area to be worked on. First is the topical, followed by a non-acidic numbing solution, and then the final anesthesia that completely numbs the area out. I have never been more comfortable with a dentist than Dr. Jung. I really liked my previous dentist, but must say Dr. Jung is the best. His assistant Nikki is excellent as well, very caring, swabs Vaseline on my lips to keep it from drying out during procedures.
Another thing that makes Dr. Jung stand out is he does not over-book. He only works on one patient at a time, so he is always focused on you. He is always on time, so I have never waited.
Yesterday, Dr. Jung put in 2 front teeth crowns and they look fantastic. The color match and shape is amazing! I am so happy! Even the temporary crowns were an amazing color match.
I highly recommend Dr. Jung, you will not be disappointed. - Lisa R.
