A Murrieta Dentist Who Tells You What You Actually Need

A comprehensive dental exam with digital X-rays costs $20 at Promenade Dental Care in Murrieta, California, for both new and existing patients, with no insurance required. The visit includes a full oral inspection, digital radiographs, a gum health assessment, an oral cancer screening, and time with Dr. Bao Nguyen to review what he finds and what he recommends. There is no membership fee and no obligation to schedule treatment.

An ultrasonic teeth cleaning costs $95 at Promenade Dental Care. Ultrasonic cleaning uses high-frequency vibration and a water stream to lift plaque and tartar instead of hand-scraping, which most patients find faster and far more comfortable. Patients with active gum disease may need deeper periodontal treatment, and Dr. Bao Nguyen quotes that separately before any work begins.

Yes. Promenade Dental Care reserves room in the daily schedule for same-day emergencies and can often see a patient in pain within the hour. Emergencies treated include severe toothaches, cracked or knocked-out teeth, lost crowns and fillings, dental abscesses, and oral trauma. Call (951) 412-0127 to be worked in; the line is monitored outside posted hours for urgent problems.

Promenade Dental Care accepts all PPO dental insurance plans and is in-network with Delta Dental PPO, Cigna, MetLife, Guardian, Aetna, and United Concordia. Cash, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover are accepted, and CareCredit financing is available with 0% interest for up to six months for qualified applicants. Uninsured patients pay the published cash prices, with no membership plan required.

Yes. Promenade Dental Care publishes flat cash prices for uninsured patients: $20 for a comprehensive exam with digital X-rays and $95 for an ultrasonic cleaning. There is no membership club, no annual fee, and no program to join to get those prices. Larger treatment is quoted in an itemized written estimate before it begins, and CareCredit financing is available with 0% interest for up to six months for qualified applicants.

Yes. Dr. Bao Nguyen is currently accepting new patients of all ages, from young children to seniors, with no waitlist. New patients can book the $20 comprehensive exam with digital X-rays by calling (951) 412-0127. Most new-patient appointments are available within the same week.

Dr. Bao Nguyen, DDS, is the owner and only dentist at Promenade Dental Care in Murrieta, California, a UCLA School of Dentistry graduate and a 10-year U.S. Navy veteran. He completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton and deployed to Kuwait and Iraq before opening the Date Street practice in 2010. He is licensed by the Dental Board of California, CEREC-certified for same-day crowns, and a member of the American Dental Association and the California Dental Association. He speaks English, Spanish, and Vietnamese.

No. Dr. Bao Nguyen owns Promenade Dental Care outright and works without the production quotas used at many dental support organization practices, so nobody in the office earns more by finding extra treatment. Patients see their digital X-rays on screen, are told plainly which findings are urgent and which are optional, and receive an itemized written estimate before treatment begins. If conditions change during a procedure, work stops until the patient approves the change.

Promenade Dental Care offers nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation, and both are available for any procedure, including routine cleanings. Nitrous oxide takes effect within minutes and wears off shortly after the mask comes off, so most patients drive themselves home. Oral sedation is taken by prescription before the appointment and produces deeper relaxation, so those patients need a driver to and from the office.

Yes. Promenade Dental Care designs, mills, and bonds custom ceramic crowns in a single visit using CEREC CAD/CAM technology. Start to finish takes roughly 90 minutes to two hours: a digital impression, on-screen design, chairside milling from a solid ceramic block, and permanent cementation. There is no temporary crown, no laboratory wait, and no second appointment.

Yes. Dr. Bao Nguyen plans, places, and restores dental implants at Promenade Dental Care rather than referring the surgical portion out. A titanium post replaces the missing tooth root, integrates with the jawbone over several months, and then receives a custom crown. Because planning, placement, and the final crown all happen in one office, no one hands the case off mid-treatment, and the cost is quoted in a single itemized estimate before anything starts.

Yes. Root canal therapy is performed in-office at Promenade Dental Care, usually in a single appointment. The procedure removes infected pulp from inside the tooth, disinfects the canals, and seals them, which saves a tooth that would otherwise need extraction. Nitrous oxide or oral sedation is available, and in most cases the tooth receives its permanent same-day CEREC crown at the same visit rather than at a separate appointment.

Promenade Dental Care offers porcelain veneers, composite teeth bonding, professional whitening, tooth-colored fillings, and full smile makeovers. Dr. Bao Nguyen recommends the most conservative option that will hold: if bonding will repair a chipped tooth, he will not prepare it for a veneer. Every cosmetic case is quoted in an itemized written estimate, and cosmetic work is never presented as necessary treatment.

Yes. Promenade Dental Care treats children from their first tooth through adolescence, alongside adults and seniors. Pediatric visits cover exams, cleanings, sealants, fluoride, and early bite development checks, and families can be seen by the same dentist across generations rather than being split between separate offices.
