Fantastic experience: Wow, what a dental office! I was pretty terrified to go to the dentist after several years, but this office made me feel comfortable and put me at ease. Zoe cleaned my teeth, and was skillful and fabulous. I don't know how she could do such a good job with no pain of any kind during or afterwards. My gums were not sore or anything, and my teeth looked great. She was totally amazing. Oh, and my dentist was great too! Thanks Lakewood! Ken
Thank you so much, Ken! We’re thrilled to hear that we could help make your visit comfortable and stress-free, especially after being away from the dentist for a while. Zoe will be so happy to hear your kind words, and we’re glad your dentist also made a great impression.

Fantastic experience: Everybody was very nice and told me what they were doing as they were doing it. I liked they had a tv screen in front of the patient on the wall so I could see my X-rays as they were doing it. I am satisfied with my care, as baymax says on big hero 6. Great experience.
Thank you so much, Colleen! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great experience and enjoyed being able to see your X-rays in real time. Our team always strives to keep patients informed and comfortable throughout their visit. We love the Baymax reference, so glad you’re “satisfied with your care”!

Negative experience: Today they lost a client for about $65. I’ve been going there for a few years. Went for a cleaning and was advised on a treatment that I had already partially paid. But those funds were used for an x-ray charge that I was not advised I had to pay for. All charges are suppose to be told up front. I’ve never had any issues until today. I was told the X-ray was needed. I’m sure there are plenty of things needed but I’m suppose to be told if there is a charge beforehand. This was a mistake on their end and no accountability was taken. Just that it was “needed” was their response. I’m not one to argue but I’m definitely going to share my experience. Keep my partial payment for my treatment, for an X-ray service that was done and not advised of any charge beforehand. What if next time the “needed” service is a more expensive one? Definitely upset on how it was handled. And then they want to call after I leave instead of addressing it at the time I was there.
I want to sincerely apologize for the experience you had during your recent visit. We take full responsibility for the confusion regarding your charges, and I completely understand why this was frustrating.
This situation has highlighted areas where we can improve our communication, and we will use it as a training opportunity for our team to ensure it does not happen again. As soon as we became aware of the issue, we reached out because your trust and satisfaction are very important to us.
We truly value you as a long-time patient and would greatly appreciate the opportunity to make this right. If you are willing, please call and ask for me, Kim, so I can personally assist in resolving this and ensure you feel confident in our care going forward.
Again, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope you will give us the chance to make it right.
Fantastic experience: Best dental experience I’ve ever had. Entire staff is friendly and put me at ease right away. Everything was explained and I have a voice in my dental plan.
Thank you, Tamara! We’re so glad to hear this was your best dental experience and that our team made you feel at ease. It means a lot to know you felt informed and included in your dental care plan. We truly appreciate your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Well, if the exam is the example of how my surgery is going to go, then my fears have really dissipated. Dental assistant Jill and Dr Craig, really created a calming knowledgeable environment. I will provide my experience after my surgery. I am very grateful to my daughter for referring this team.
Thank you, Renee! We’re so glad Jill and Dr. Craig helped create a calm and reassuring experience for you during your exam. It means so much that your daughter referred you to us, and we look forward to providing you with the same level of care for your surgery. We truly appreciate your trust!
Fantastic experience: Amazing service the staff made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. They made everything easy and without question. I will say I definitely found my new dentist office.
Thank you, Kevin! We’re so glad our team made you feel comfortable and that everything went smoothly during your visit. We’re thrilled to be your new dental home and look forward to seeing you again!

Thank you, Danny! We’re so glad we could get you taken care of quickly and that you had such a great experience with us. We truly appreciate your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Great service and very experienced staff. I was seen quickly even though I was early for my appointment. The hygienist walked me through everything she was doing from X-rays to the cleaning. I saw the doctor and she explained what concerns she had for the future and advised to make an appointment should I experience any symptoms.
Thank you, Rose! We’re so glad you had a smooth visit and that our hygienist and doctor made sure you felt informed every step of the way. We truly appreciate your kind words about our team and the care you received!
Fantastic experience: Just had my second cleaning. Same results. Go see Zoey she is a fantastic hygienist. Had my first appointment and cleaning with this team today. It was about as fantastic as a trip to the dentist can be. Zoey was my hygienist and she provided one of the most thorough cleaning I've had. I highly recommend this group if you are looking for a dental provider.
Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad to hear your first visit went well and that Zoey provided such a thorough cleaning. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: Wasn’t able to use your service, but all sent well. Dr Kien was able to point me in the right direction in finding the appropriate dental services. Thx
Thank you, Atticus! We’re so glad Dr. Kern was able to assist you and help guide you to the care you needed. We appreciate your kind words and wish you all the best moving forward!
Fantastic experience: The level of service I received (cracked tooth repair/filling) was marvelous! The Dr did a great job. And staff were friendly and accommodating. Jill was kind and was able to set up a follow-up appt ASAP. I am so thankful! The clinic was clean and comfortable. It was such a great experience. I strongly suggest Lakewood clinic to anyone looking for a top-rated dental care!
Thank you so much! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great experience with your cracked tooth repair and that our team, especially Jill, was able to get your follow-up scheduled quickly. We’re grateful for your kind words and recommendation!
Fantastic experience: I had such a great experience at Lakewood Dental Trails! The whole team was so kind and welcoming, and the office felt bright and comfortable. Zoe the hygienist was amazing—gentle, thorough, and so friendly. My teeth have never felt this clean. Highly recommend!
Thank you, Madison! We’re so glad you had such a great experience and that Zoe made your visit comfortable and thorough. Your kind words mean so much to our team, we truly appreciate your recommendation!
Fantastic experience: Lindsey has been my dental hygienist ( 10 years?)from a previous office. In my opinion she is the best. Lakewood Dental Trails is a better place to have her. 5 stars All! Day! Long!
Thank you, Mike! We’re so glad you’ve been able to continue your care with Lindsey, she truly is amazing! We’re honored to have her on our team and grateful for your kind words about Lakewood Dental Trails.
Negative experience: Our family was using their services over the last few years. My mom even got her all in one dentures from them both upper and lower, which cost her around 50k. During the consultation they said is going to be like her own teeth can keep permanently and for maintenance will be only $300+ half a year. However, it wasn’t the case. She has continuously discomfort for the first year and they can’t do much about it. Also, they suggested cleaning every 3 months instead of 6 and there’s certain parts need to be changed out every 1-2years. Meaning the maintenance part cost twice or triple amount compared to what they quoted. For dentures they can only guarantee 5 years of use and as gums shrinks, they can drop off or breakdown, most likely won’t be permanently use. These are under our expectations especially considering the price. At that point, might still be the best option for us. However, I would expect a better communication. Not doubting Dr. Rich’s expertise but the fact is, I asked for a dentist referral at the new location twice to keep up with the maintenance before we move out of state. It has been half a year now and yet, didn’t receive a single word. Needless to say, he doesn’t care about his patients. If you’re looking for regular family dental care, it’s a pretty office and they have good staffs working but I won’t suggest getting dentures or implants through this facility.
Hi Alina,
We appreciate the trust your family placed in our office over the years and value the opportunity we had to care for you. I understand you reached out for a referral after relocating, and I regret we didn’t connect on that before now. While we’re sometimes unable to provide a specific referral based on geography, I had shared my direct contact information and you’re always welcome to reach out or visit us for maintenance anytime — we’d be happy to see you again.
We wish you and your family the very best moving forward.
Dr. Rich Leung, Owner
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this practice. Even though I am a dentist, I need to find someone to treat my dental needs too. So as a licensed, board-certified dentist (I work for the government and not a civilian practice) I do have some knowledge of what makes a good dental office. Not only do they use quality equipment, advanced technology and safe procedures, they are friendly as well. My experience as a patient there was a solid 5 stars. Lindsey (from Killeen) the Hygienist that provide me a great cleaning was professional was gentle. Dr. Craig was kind, knowledgeable and clearly a skilled dentist. This would be a good choice if you are considering a new dental office.
Thank you so much, Dr. Chang! Your recommendation means a great deal to us, especially coming from a fellow dental professional. We're thrilled to hear that Lindsey and Dr. Craig provided you with the level of care and expertise you deserve. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to continuing to care for your smile!
Fantastic experience: Very professional and informative as to what needed to be done. Also, they followed up the next day to assure everything was ok, very nice.
Thank you, Art! We’re so glad you felt well-informed and cared for, and we’re happy our follow-up brought you peace of mind. We truly appreciate your kind words!

Negative experience: I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding my recent visit to your office on 27 May 2025. I came in for a routine dental cleaning, which is included as one of the two free cleanings provided annually by my dental insurance plan. However, I was informed that I needed an additional gum treatment, for which I would be charged $95. This was unexpected, as I had not been informed in advance that this treatment would not be covered under the standard cleaning. I believe this lack of transparency is not only frustrating but also misleading for patients who are trying to make informed decisions about their care and expenses. Additionally, during a previous visit in 2022, I was charged $36 for “pictures” despite being told that the visit would include free x-rays as part of the covered cleaning. This has led me to question the consistency and transparency of the billing practices at your office. Unfortunately, this experience has left me feeling that Lakewood Trail Dentistry prioritizes upcharges over patient trust. I urge your office to be more forthcoming about potential charges before services are rendered, especially when patients are coming in for routine cleanings they believe are fully covered. P.S. there's nothing wrong with my gums they're perfect just a money grab you should be ashamed of yourself.
Hi Anomie, thank you for your feedback. We understand it can be frustrating when care beyond a “routine” cleaning is diagnosed. Every patient’s gum health is different, and we can only determine the appropriate treatment after an in-person evaluation. While we aim to keep patients informed, we don’t believe it’s fair, or clinically appropriate to assume everyone needs more than a standard cleaning before we’ve assessed their gums.
If periodontal treatment is diagnosed, patients are never forced to proceed. They’re always welcome to reschedule, take time to consider, or even seek a second opinion. If you’d like us to review your visit in more detail, feel free to contact the office directly.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly, efficient and thorough. I’m glad I finally decided to schedule an appointment here. I’ve found my new dental office for sure.
Thank you, Salvatore! We're so glad you chose to visit us and even more thrilled to hear we've earned your trust as your new dental home. We look forward to taking great care of you for years to come!
Fantastic experience: Everyday I walk out my front door, the world is waiting to eat me for lunch. As it is us all. Somehow, I feel more like a human being leaving Lakewood Dental Trails than when I walked in. I love these people.
Thank you, Rick — your words truly moved us. We’re honored to be a place where you feel seen, valued, and cared for. It means the world to our team to know we’ve made a positive impact. We're grateful to have you as part of the Lakewood Dental Trails family.

Fantastic experience: Last year I changed dentist from (won’t say) to Lakewood and was pleasantly surprised to see Lindsey, the technician I had several years ago, working at Lakewood She is very good and I really missed her!

Highly recommend Lakewood Dental Trails if you are looking for a great place to be taken care of.

Fantastic experience: My hygienist was Hailey again today and I’ve never left a dental office so satisfied before! She was so sweet and gentle and never hurt me. I’m very sensitive and she took very good care of me. She was very thorough and very informative. I hope I can always see her for all future appointments. All staff was very welcoming. A big plus was having the TV to distract me from the anxiety of bad experiences in the past.

Fantastic experience: Last visit - I was pleasantly surprised, great service from everyone there, Dr. Kern seemed very caring and very knowledgeable, answered all my questions! I will be back soon. 2nd visit - Visiting again today, same caring and professional service. I really enjoyed the blanket, pillow, calming music and watching Netflix during the crown procedure. Everyone was so nice . I cannot ask for a better dental experience. Today visit - fabulous dentist, everyone was so caring and knowledgeable, local anesthetic did not go away for 6 hours, I had 2 crowns done so probably double amount, my only bit of a worry. Dr Kern and her assistant are fantastic.

Thank you, David! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Dr. Kern, Dr. Vu, and our team. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to continuing to provide you with excellent care!
Fantastic experience: As most know, looking around for any type health care can be tricky, especially when kids are involved. My daughter has fought us about brusing her teeth and just terrified to go visit the dentist. She got out of the car in tears but left with the biggest smile on her face. She even went home and wanted to brush on her own and try to use her floss(with her new toothbrush and floss). The atmosphere was absolutely warm and inviting, no at all intimidating for kids! Love it when we find a great place the first time!
Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s so wonderful to hear that your daughter felt comfortable and even excited about her dental care after her visit. Creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for kids is so important to us. We’re thrilled to be a part of her journey to a healthy smile and look forward to seeing you both again!

Fantastic experience: I decided to go with Lakewood Dental Trails because of my favorite dental hygienist, Lindsay Tristan, moving her services to this practice. I was so pleased with my first appointment! The other office staff were so friendly & helpful, and they offer a really great plan for uninsured patients.

Fantastic experience: I moved from another state and I hadn't gotten a dentist. My tooth broke and I found Lakewood through my dental insurance and I am super grateful for the treatment of Lakewood Dental staff. Kim did her best to schedule me within hours, Madison the assistant was so professional and attentive to my needs. Dr. Rich was the best taking care of my urgency within minutes. I recommend them and we are bringing my whole family of 5. Thanks a lot

Fantastic experience: I haven't been to the dentist in years. Afraid of what I might find out. But the staff were all comforting and reassuring. I received a good cleaning. My teeth feel better. I need more work but not near as much as I thought. My dental hygienist Zoe was fantastic. I hadn't been to the dentist in years so Zoe had her work cut out for her. She kept at it and my teeth were so clean and smooth afterwards it was unbelievable. Very professional. I have found my new dentist and am now not as intimidated by the thought of dentistry. This is a great dental practice.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear that our team was able to make your visit reassuring and comfortable.

Fantastic experience: From the moment I walked into the facilities,was greated with a warm friendly smile . Extremely pleasant staff. My dental assistant was professional and very accommodating. I was a bit nervous since I had a poor experience at the last dental office. However the dentist was thorough in the exam and made me feel comfortable and relaxed.

Fantastic experience: Always hesitant going to a new Dentist; however, what a pleasant surprise when I was greater by such friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: 4 September 2024: I had a WONDERFUL experience at Lakewood Dental Trails! Signing up as a new patient took less than 20 minutes and the front office staff (Natalia) made the entire [online] process painless for the digitally challenged like myself. The day of my appointment I was warmly greeted by my hygienist (Zoe) who made me feel welcome and put me at ease with her detailed explanation of what my entire appointment was going include from the initial x-rays all the way through the cleaning and fluoridation. Her attention to detail and chairside manner were OUTSTANDING! Dr. Kern capped off the entire experience with a thorough exam and a clean bill of dental health. I can’t wait for my next appointment in six months. Thank you LDT! Very respectfully, Tré

Fantastic experience: Jezz it's been a long time since I have seen a dentist a bad wisdom tooth drove me in . Zoe was so sweet and helpful can't wait to get back and get all the care my teeth need. Starting with having that tooth removed from my life Dr Kern made me feel right at home
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re glad that your visit, even under tough circumstances, was a positive one. Zoe and Dr.Kern will be thrilled to hear that they made your experience so sweet and helpful. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: I was greeted in a timely manner. Lee, the hygienist explained each step that was going to take place. I was very comfortable with addition of the pillow and blanket that were offered. Lee cleaned my teeth thoroughly and adjusted her hands and my head so that she could get the job done with me being comfortable. Dr Kern, looked at my records, X-rays, teeth, and made suggestions as to what needs to be done next with respect to my immediate and long term care. In other words, options were given. The receptionist also explained payment options and scheduled my follow up appointment before I left that coordinated with my schedule and needs. - THANKS Lakewood Dental Trails.

Fantastic experience: This was my very first visit to Lakewood Dental Trails. Everyone from the office staff to Beth my hygienist were so kind & helpful. They were very thorough. Thank you, Margie B.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re delighted to hear that your first visit was a positive one. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to providing you with excellent care in the future.
Negative experience: There used to be a younger lady that was kind of heavy set that used to work here, she was one of the sweetest people that I have ever met in my entire life. Upon my last visit I learned that they had fired her. I have no clue what their reasons possibly could have been for firing someone who is so nice and sweet, but I honestly do not know if I will be going back to this office if they are firing people for being "too nice".
Thank you for your feedback and for acknowledging the kindness of our former team member. Personnel decisions are always challenging, and we strive to ensure the best fit for our team and the quality of care we provide. While she was a wonderful person, the decision was based on a variety of factors to maintain our standards. We value all our patients and hope to continue providing excellent care. If you have any further concerns, please feel free to contact our office directly. -- Dr. Rich Leung, Owner
Fantastic experience: I have had really bad experience in the past with other dentists, as far as developing really bad anxiety to where I’ve had to be sedated for cleanings. I was really nervous going in to Lakewood for the first time, but they really reassured me and kept me calm the entire time. I would highly recommend if you have ever experienced anxiety with dentist. The staff was great as well and explained everything so clearly and in detail.
Hi Louise, thank you for your kind review! We're so glad to hear that you felt calm and reassured during your visit. Our team works hard to make sure everyone feels comfortable, especially those who are anxious about dental visits.
It's great to know our staff's detailed explanations and friendly approach helped you. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: Fabulous experience! I established as a new patient and was able to get x-rays and a cleaning done day 1. Zoe was my hygienist and was sweet, friendly, and best of all, a total perfectionist. Also love Dr Kern! Already scheduled my six month follow up. What a phenomenal dental practice.
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We are thrilled to hear that Zoe made a positive impression with her sweet and friendly demeanor, and we’re so glad to know she provided you with thorough care.We look forward to seeing you at your six-month follow-up! Thank you for choosing our practice and for sharing your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Everyone from the front desk receptionist to the dental hygienists to Dr. Kern treated us amazing! My 3 year old son had an appt after me and he was already having a horrible morning when we arrived. His “threenager” attitude had kicked in and he did not want to be there, but the two dental hygienists that greeted us were super patient and helpful. They got him settled in with a stuffed animal and some toys and I was able to sit in the chair and get my teeth cleaned while he played. They DID NOT make me feel like I was a burden because of my unpredictable toddler and I greatly appreciate that! Dr. Kern was amazing as always and very patient with my son! They were even able to get my son’s teeth cleaned and looked at which is major progress from the previous time we went. Overall, I am grateful for the compassionate and caring team at Lakewood Dental Trails who know just how to make a mother and her son feel welcome and cared for.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you and your son had a positive experience. It’s always our goal to create a welcoming and comfortable environment for all of our patients. Thank you for trusting us with your family’s dental health. We look forward to seeing you and your son at your next visit!
Fantastic experience: I had to go for a tooth extraction, which is never a fun or good day. The staff was so friendly and understanding. They made me feel comfortable the whole time. The dentist was super sweet and gentle. She was very detailed in explaining everything to me. I will definitely be going back for routine dental care.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We truly appreciate your trust in us for your dental needs and are delighted that you plan to return for routine care. We look forward to seeing you again and continuing to provide you with the best possible dental care.
