Welcome to Promenade Dental Care
Why New Dental Patients Choose Our Murrieta Office
Choosing a new dentist is a leap of trust — especially if your last experience was rushed, painful, or ended with a treatment plan that felt like a sales pitch. Promenade Dental Care was built to be the opposite of that. New dental patients start with a $20 comprehensive exam and digital X-rays, get a plain-English explanation of what we see, and receive published, transparent prices before anything is scheduled. No upselling. No pressure. No surprises.
Dr. Bao Nguyen, DDS is a UCLA-trained dentist and ten-year U.S. Navy veteran who completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency at Camp Pendleton. He has practiced in Murrieta since 2010 and treats every new patient the way he treated service members: honestly, gently, and with the least invasive option that solves the problem.
Comfort Comes First
Gentle Cavity Treatment for Anxious Kids and Adults
If the idea of a filling makes you or your child tense up, you are not alone — dental anxiety is one of the most common reasons new dental patients put off care for years. Modern cavity treatment does not have to feel anything like what you remember.
Our approach is simple: nothing starts until you are completely numb and completely comfortable. We explain each step before it happens, work at your pace, and stop anytime you raise a hand.
How we keep fillings pain-free
Complete local anesthesia. We numb the area fully — and verify it — before removing any decay. Most patients feel nothing beyond a little pressure.
Minimally invasive techniques. Gentle decay removal preserves healthy tooth structure, which means smaller fillings, shorter visits, and stronger teeth long-term.
Sedation options. For patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, needle fear, or a deep cavity that needs extra time, sedation dentistry turns a stressful appointment into a calm one.
Tooth-colored composite fillings. Your restored tooth blends in naturally — no metal, no dark spots when you smile.
No Surprises
What New Dental Patients Can Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment is diagnostic, not a commitment to treatment. We look, we explain, you decide. Here is exactly how it works from the moment you call to the moment you leave.
- Book your $20 new patient exam Call (951) 412-0127 or request an appointment online. Nervous or in pain? Say so — we will plan around it.
- Exam and digital X-rays Dr. Bao examines every tooth and reviews low-radiation digital X-rays with you on screen, showing you exactly what he sees.
- A plain-English plan with published prices If a cavity needs a filling, you get the price, the options, and the timeline before anything is scheduled. No pressure, ever.
- Gentle treatment at your pace Complete numbing, careful decay removal, and a tooth-colored filling shaped and polished to match your bite — often in a single short visit.
- Simple aftercare Mild sensitivity, if any, fades within a day or two. You leave with clear home-care instructions and a team one phone call away.

Keeping New Smiles Healthy
After Your Filling: Preventing the Next Cavity
Treating a cavity gently is only half the job — the other half is making sure new dental patients leave knowing how to avoid the next one. According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, early decay can often be stopped or even reversed before a filling is ever needed.
Dental Sealants
A protective coating on molars that blocks the grooves where cavities most often start — especially effective for kids and teens.
Fluoride Treatments
Strengthens enamel and can remineralize the earliest stage of decay before it ever needs a filling.
Routine Cleanings & Exams
Twice-a-year visits catch small problems while they are still small — and cheap — to fix.
Pediatric Care
Kid-friendly checkups, gentle first fillings, and habits that set children up for a lifetime of easy dental visits.
