I have been with this practice since the beginning. I have always, and continue to be, completely satisfied with treatment both from the professional and administrative staff. I always feel well-treated and well cared-for and well-informed.
Excellent, professional and very friendly. Attention to COVID-19 prevention was very comforting.
Very professional and caring.
Very nice and courteous and always with a smile on their face. With COVID They have made every effort to make the office safe and clean. I’m always looking forward to get my teeth cleaned. Thanks guys!
Great care and professionalism. Felt really safe with Covid precautions in place. Highly recommend this practice and all their staff.
Myra is the best! She took really good care of me. Very professional. Felt safe with Covid precautions in place.
They do a VERY THOROUGH job. Excellent care. And for those weary of COVID....this place has that licked. I don’t think I’ve ever been in a facility that focuses as much energy on cleanliness and safety. Ever!
Dr. Wong and staff are very friendly and always professional. They have put many safety measures into place. I was surprised at all the steps they are taking to keep you safe during this time. I highly recommend this practice. I also love my hygienist Myra, she is just the best!
Excellent practice with very clean, organized and efficient staff. COVID precautious and procedures are above and beyond and should put everyone at ease.
Excellent dental office. Everything is explained very well. Marya is an excellent hygienist. Very friendly office.
Mayra always is superbly thorough and professional. The office is even more focused on Covid precautions. I felt totally safe with my procedure and recommend their staff highly.
Everyone took great care in cleanliness to prevent coronavirus infection. I felt very safe! From an empty waiting room to plastic shields, masks and gloves for the people working there, I would not hesitate to go again to this office.
I came to Drs. Wong and Barreto's office after encountering an urgent dental issue while my prior dentist was unavailable. Dr. Barreto identified the underlying issue and also diagnosed another serious condition. She and Dr. Wong were very conscientious and guided me through treatment for both dental issues. I was so impressed with their professionalism that I switched to their practice. Mayra, the dental hygienist, is very knowledgeable and patient. She always tries to educate her patients and is very patient. Today I returned to their office for the first time since the pandemic. I was impressed with the precautions the office took prior to and during my visit. I felt safe and protected during the cleaning.
The precautions that they are taking for patient and staff safety are top notch. I felt completely comfortable and safe throughout my entire visit.
Pre- COVID dental care at this office has always been exceptional! The attention to making the patient feel safe while pursuing their dental health in this new COVID environment is truly amazing and appreciated. The exceptional and thoughtful care of this entire dental team continues in these uncertain times! Thank you
Highly professional, organized, friendly and efficient! I had some reservations about visiting the dentist in the midst of a pandemic, however they are taking great measures to keep the office clean with air filtration , gowns and N95 masks. I felt very comfortable and glad I went!
Dr. Wong and team do a great job. The added health and safety measures to address COVID are above and beyond. There is no reason not to keep up on preventative and other services needed for your oral health.
The WandB Dental Team has had it together for years with an excellent practice. Now, they have made it possible to maintain excellent dental care in the face of Covid - 19. I was very comfortable with the way they handled my appointment.
My parents and I have been a patients of Dr. Wong's for many years. He and the entire staff are very knowledgeable, kind, and immediately put me at ease. I highly recommend W & B Dental!
Dr. Wong was very helpful with replacing my veneers after I chipped one. The new ones look even better than before! All of the staff are very welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend!
I have been a patient of Dr. Wong and Dr. Barretto since 2007 and have only positive things to say about them and their entire staff. It is a welcoming space; they are professional, highly skilled, friendly and one can be assured they are up to date on the latest procedures, using the newest and best equipment. Mayra has been my hygienist for quite sometime and her knowledge and calming approach is most comforting!
I have been a patient of W&B Dental for several years and rate them as excellent. The office and technical staff are smart and professional. Mayra has been my hygienist. She is considerate and awesome. My thanks to the team at W&B!
Dr. Wong and his staff are wonderful. They explain everything before they start your cleaning or procedure and are very gentle. I appreciate the time they take with us.
Professional, friendly and put you at ease every time.
I’ve been coming to the practice for the past 6 years and have been consistently impressed by the overall care experience. The entire staff is professional and courteous and goes out of their way to accommodate my schedule. Dr. Wong is skilled and honest and the hygienist team does a great job providing thorough cleanings and advice. I would definitely recommend this practice to those looking.
Professional and friendly staff! Omar, Dr. Wong, Samantha, and Heather were all very thorough from start to finish. They provide a clean, modern space and made it simple to schedule an online appointment.After moving back to Walnut Creek, I needed to find someone closer and I came across W&B Dental. I have no reservations recommending this staff if you're looking for a new dental office in the Walnut Creek area.
I ‘ve been a patient in this office for about 33 years. Dr. Wong and his staff have taken good care of my teeth and me. He is the 3rd Dentist to practice here. My teeth look better than ever. Today Myra cleaned my teeth, they sparkle.
Chris and his team are awesome and trustworthy professionals. I felt like I was being taken care of and not taken advantage of. They are willing to go above and beyond with any questions or concerns you might have after reviewing your dental history and giving their honest opinion of what is needed to be done to keep your teeth and gums healthy. I will be sending my family members here from now on. Thank you team!
I am so glad that I chose Dr. Wong and team as my new dental office!! I really had a great experience with everyone on staff. Omar was kind and gentle with the X-ray process. Dr. Wong was very informative and patient with me, making sure that all of my questions were answered. He gave great advice and education without being pushy about any recommended treatments. He really empowered me to make my own informed decisions. Mayra gave me a great cleaning, and some new tricks and tips to keep my teeth and gums healthy. I always have a bit of anxiety with my cleanings because I have incredibly sensitive teeth. Mayra was gentle and made sure to take extra care with my most sensitive spots. The lovely woman at the front desk (forgot your name, so sorry!!) was even able to fit me in for a night guard fitting right on the spot as an extra convenience. You really can’t ask for more in a dental team! Thank you all so much!

This place is great! Staff is very friendly, accommodating, and quick. Highly recommend if you are looking for a dentist in the Walnut Creek area.
Dentists and staff are always fantastic. Professional environment. They always help my son feel comfortable, even when he was very young and needed to come in for his first appointment! Absolutely 5 stars!!
I am so pleased with how W&B Dental operates, on both a personal and a professional level. I know I'm in good hands here and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great dental office that cares about their patients and that provides excellent care. I also somehow failed to post the review I had written about my visit in June, so here it is : I highly recommend this dental office and all the staff here. Both Dr. Wong and Dr. Barretto are excellent, highly skilled dentists. They are knowledgeable and informative about your teeth, gums, and overall oral health, and they take the time to discuss everything with you. This is the best experience I've had with a filling in terms of both the process and the end result with the alignment when biting down. Really appreciate your work, Dr. Barretto and all the staff at W&B dental! [Note: I've had another filling replaced by Dr. Wong since then and it was just as amazing. Thank you!
Easy parking, good prices, convenient location!
I live in the South Bay and have no issue driving to Walnut Creek for my dental checkups at W&B Dental. Why? My mouth is important to me and the care here is 1st class! I leave every appointment satisfied and trust I'm getting the best care possible from hygienist Myra and Dr. Wong. If you don't currently have a dentist or aren't 100% happy with your current provider, give the team here a try. You won't be sorry.6 month appointment, so just an update from prior review... More of the same! Left the office 100% confident in the service and advice given. Can't ask for anything more!
Our family has gone to Dr.Wong’s office for over 10 years and we have always had a great experience! The entire staff is very professional and thorough in their examinations, with excellent advice on how to maintain quality dental hygiene. Additionally, for some, going to a dentist can be a stressful experience, but the team made it “work” with their patience and understanding-Thank You! We highly recommend to anyone looking for a great dental team!
Great dentist and great support team to help keep your teeth healthy. I highly recommend them!
I never feel rushed through the appointment. Dr Wong uses up to date technology, generally runs on time, and his staff is great.
Great dentists and hygienists! Always professional and do great work! They always make sure you are comfortable and ask if there is anything you need. I would not go anywhere else!
Great dentists and hygienists! Always professional and do great work!
Dr. Wong and his staff are the best! They take very good care of my entire family including my Dad who is in his late 70's and my brother who has special needs. Everyone in the office is extremely knowledgeable, efficient and compassionate. I love being a patient there and taking my family.
Also wanted to give a 5 star review for Mayra, the hygienist who is very thorough in her cleaning and her explanations of what I need to do and why for a home program. She's also friendly and caring.
Myrah is the most thorough and personable dental hygienist Ive had. Great people at this place!
Very professional people. I have been coming to this office for a couple of decades. I moved from Walnut Creek over two years ago to Brentwood, California. I drive over 30 miles to see Dr. Wong because he and his office maintains my dental health in the most caring and professional manner.New Post:I must admit that I am a "dental wimp". I have a tooth that was going back but I was in denial. There was a fracture discovered during a root canal procedure several years ago. The fracture is progressively getting worst but I am ignoring it. However, through the gentle and professional urging and education by Dr. Wong, I am finally getting the matter resolved so this tooth does not lead to something worst. Both my wife and I will continue to have Dr. Christopher Wong as our general dentist.Another Post:I have been under the care of the Mayra, the registered dental hygienist in Dr. Wong's and Dr. Barretto's dental office for the past 5 years. When I first received care from Mayra, my gums were receding and they were sensitive. Through the professional care from Mayra and her advice of using gum brushes, my gums are healthy and the sensitivity issues have subsided. If you need a professional dental hygienist, I would highly recommend Mayra. You will not regret your decision to seek her care if you want heathy gums and clean teeth.
I had molar issues years ago and came to Dr. Wong for help. He did a great job resolving the issue and has continued to provide excellent dental care. My wife is also a client and she has always been impressed with Dr. Wong and staff. Two thumbs up!
My wife and I are long-time patients with this practice and highly recommend Drs. Wong and Barretto and their friendly and awesome staff. The office runs on time, cleanings are very straightforward and judgment-free, and both the dentists and hygienists offer very practical tips for improving overall dental health. Very happy with this practice.
Mayra is fantastic! She has been doing regular cleanings for over 5 years. The quality & thoroughness is incomparable to others I have used the past. I particularly appreciate the level of detail & time she takes to show me tips/techniques directly related to my unique needs.
Had a pleasant time, the staff was super friendly and they really took their time cleaning my teeth- I didn't feel rushed and was well informed with what was going on in my mouth.
Just spent a couple of hours this afternoon with Dr. Wong to have a crown done. I know that sounds like an awful way to pass time, but it was actually quite comfortable. The procedure was pain free, and because Dr. Wong is able to make the crown right in his office, it’s completely done!The office staff are all so nice. I’ve been going to Dr. Wong for over 5 years. I’ve never had to wait to be seen. The office is very efficiently run. When I go in for routine cleanings I usually see Myra. She always does an excellent job and is very conscientious about telling me areas that need extra attention. I have recommended Dr. Wong to friends and family and will continue to do so in the future.
I love W&B Dental. I have been coming to Dr. Wong and Dr. Barretto's office since I moved to the Bay Area 9 years ago. Both Dr. Wong and Dr. Barretto are knowledgable, patience and kind doctors. I especially love the staff at W&B Dental. My hygienist Mayra is friendly and fun, but doesn't let you get away with not flossing enough or other bad dental habits. The office treats my entire in-law family that live in the Bay Area and Mayra is always quick to ask how they are doing and always remembers the smallest details about the fun milestones happening in our family (a new niece, a big birthday, etc.). I would recommend Mayra and W&B Dental to anyone looking for a great dentist and great dentist office!
My husband and I have been going to Dr Wong and Dr Baretto for over 5 years and are very happy with their services. They are on time, efficient and very thorough. Mayra is our hygienist and she's awesome! She's personable, knowledgeable about oral care and does a great cleaning. I never dread a dentist appointment thanks to W&B Dental.
I'm so blessed to have found this dental office. I am in my first trimester of my pregnancy and it has not been easy keeping up with my brushing/flossing routine. Today, I had my cleaning appointment and I was super nervous because I didn't want to vomit at the dental office and not finish out my appointment. However, thanks to Mayra(Hygienist)for being so gentle and patient, I was able to get through my appointment!! I'm very lucky to have them!
Sometimes you don't know how great you have it until you have to move away and have to find a new Dentist. Dr. Wong and staff are literally irreplaceable. We were in good hands with everyone at Dr. Wong's office. I will miss you all.
I have been coming here for years and always have a great experience. Dr. Wong is very knowledgeable and takes time to answer any questions. My dental hygienist Mayra is awesome. She is kind, personable and does a great job. The front staff takes time to get to know you by your first name and is very accommodating when finding appointments that fit my schedule. Thanks for helping me stay healthy.
Dr Wong was amazing . Very thorough and passionate the practice . The hygienist was perfect and very gentle, Cleaning was great . The staff was also very responsive and very polite . Got a complete merchandise bag on the way out . Highly recommend this practice !!!
Friendly and professional service. They always take good care of me!
For all your dental needs W & B dental uses state of the art equipments and techniques to make your visit seamless. The staff is friendly and professional!Highly recommend
I have just started going to Dr. Wong and Dr. Barretto. First, their hygenist Mayra did the most thorough cleaning of my teeth that I've ever had, and an examination of my mouth, jaw and neck for any signs of lumps. She educated me on techniques to keep my gums and teeth healthy and gave me tools to do that.Dr. Barretto was sensitive to my fear of needles. She put on my choice of music on Pandora and used a topical numbing ointment prior to the needle and was constantly checking on me.I truly appreciated this and was quickly put at ease. I highly recommend this office.
I highly recommend this practice, an exceptional provider of dental services. Everyone displays a high level of professionalism and competence.
For all your dental needs W & B dental uses state of the art equipments and techniques to make you visit seamless. The staff is friendly and professional! Highly recommend
With state of the art equipment and techniques, W & B Dental is able to take care of most dental needs. The staff is fast, friendly and professional! I highly recommend
Professional, competent, and courteous.
Professional. Kind. Caring. Understands patient needs and makes every effort to take care.
I was so impressed with the most thorough teeth cleaning by Mayra. She examined my mouth, jaw and neck for any lumps or signs of disease. She also taught me how to improve my oral care and gave me the tools to do it. Dr. Barretto was so comforting and accommodating to help me through my fear of needles. I hardly even felt my filling work. I highly recommend this office.
My recent crown replacement went extremely well despite a rather recalcitrant old crown; it just did not want to let go but Dr. Wong persisted. The rest of the procedure was quick and painless. It's a great time saver to be able to receive a new crown in one visit. Also, my thanks to Heather who rescued me from an ill fitting mouth appliance that pinched my gums. She quickly located the impact point and trimmed the appliance in one try.
Had a crown replaced. Staff was helpful, professional and fun. Dr. Wong completed the task promptly and with out discomfort. Makes the process of dental work much less stressful. Heather assisted with the work and made the Doc’s work easier. Recommended this practice as a great place to meet your dental needs.
The staff here are very friendly and knowledgeable. All are extremely pleasant to work with and are accommodating. They all remember you by name which is pretty impressive seeing as I am only there a couple times a year. Mayra, the hygienist, does an excellent job and is very gentle and thorough. If you are new to the area or are looking for a new dentist, this is the place for you!
I have been going to this office for over 12 years and I cannot imagine better care for my teeth. Everyone in the office is top-notch at what they do. I highly recommend them!
I've been a patient for 5 years and they've always been professional and done a great job. I would recommend them without reservations!
It is pleasure to add my comments to the impressive list of compliments for the dental practice of Christopher Wong, DDS, in addition to those directed to hygienist, Mayra, and as well, to the assistance of dental technicians and administrative staff (Omar, in particular). At the conclusion of each appointment, learning “everything is in good order” in reference to dental maintenance and oral hygiene is a very welcome experience. [To place my review in perspective, I preciously received sub-standard treatment from a dentist who eventually lost his license. Dr. Wong was subsequently recommended by the oral surgeon who undertook initial steps to address the damage.]While some patients might not require similar extensive and in depth dental work, I believe all will benefit from the level of expertise and state of the art technology offered by Dr. Wong. I am confident that I am receiving the best step-by-step care to preserve optimal dental health. Throughout this process, I have routinely been given professional attention, kind accommodation and helpful assistance. Regarding prophylactic treatments, Mayra has been a dedicated champion with scrutiny of each tooth and explicit instructions to ensure that my efforts between appointments are efficacious. Her attention to detail always amazes—she is so careful and conscientious—I have never received more thorough care nor achieved such positive results.In sum, the highest (five-star) recommendation probably does not suffice: I believe that the standards of Dr. Wong’s team surpass those of even the best dental practices in the Bay Area.

Excellent and competent staff, hygienists and dentists. I highly recommend W&B Dental.
I enjoy having my dental work at WBD! It's been 5yrs now and Mira is like family! And my family members also have their dental work done at WBD! As far dental work, they're informative and want to PREVENT problems from occuring!
I came to this practice on a colleague's recommendation, and it has been a great experience so far (I've now been a patient for about 2 years). From the get go you get the feeling that you are in good hands with Dr Wong. He explains everything very clearly and sets the foundation for long term oral health. I really appreciate that he does not push for work that is not needed, but works with you to prevent issues, and items to watch out for. Mayra is an excellent dental hygienist, super thorough, calm, and she has a great touch (I used to dread the 6month visit at other places). She explains everything she is doing and why, and helps you develop better practices. I also appreciate that they inform you when something is covered by your insurance or not, so you feel more comfortable making decisions. Overall highly recommended!
I love my new dental office! They are all amazing. My dentist is very thorough. He really shows quality versus quantity. Not to mention, the hygienist made me feel like I was a part of their dental family!
Great experience considering I am not a fan of the dentist chair. Great job!
Great staff and excellent service. They explain everything thoroughly so there are no surprises. Love that a crown can be made in office so there isn't a need for a temporary crown or a second follow-up appointment.
I’ve been going to W&B dental for a few years now. Dr Wong and Mayra always provide such a great dental experience and really care about my dental health. They answer all of my crazy questions regarding keeping my teeth white despite my love for coffee! I always look forward to my visit!
By far the most thorough office Ive been to. Lots of excellent coaching on preventative care.
I have been coming to this office for many years and never have been disappointed. The staff is very friendly and the work is very professional.
High quality personal service. Ask many times during the appointment if you have any questions. Explain the procedure and steps clearly and estimate the amount of time it will take. See if you need a break during. Thorough with follow up and next appointment.
I have been a client since the very beginning! They are very professional, and are up to date on the latest options for good dental health. I always feel that they go above and beyond! I have many examples of their dedication for which I am grateful !
I have been going to this office for years and each visit goes well. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They take time without hurrying and are considerate of my needs.
Dr. Wong and his professional staff are a pleasure to work with. Myra keeps me in line with my flossing and my smile healthy! I highly recommend them!
Very friendly and helpful staff. Myra is so professional and thorough with her work—the best dental hygienist I’ve had! Dr Wong is excellent and they aren’t pushy with additional treatments. Highly recommended!
I live in the South Bay and have no issue driving to Walnut Creek for my dental checkups at W&B Dental. Why? My mouth is important to me and the care here is 1st class! I leave every appointment satisfied and trust I'm getting the best care possible from hygienist Myra and Dr. Wong. If you don't currently have a dentist or aren't 100% happy with your current provider, give the team here a try. You won't be sorry.
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Wong’s since he began his practice in Walnut Creek. The professionalism and service provided by everyone on staff from the front desk to the hygienists to Dr. Wong himself are exemplary. Everything is clearly explained, and they go out of their way to ensure the understanding and comfort of their patients.
Always satisfied with my visits. Mayra is the perfect balance of efficiency and care.
I used to hate going to the dentist until I started coming here! They are fantastic! I actually look forward to getting my teeth cleaned and believe the health of my teeth/gums has never been better.
The staff at W&B Dental is incredibly knowledgeable and personable. They are thorough in checking your oral health and give great advice on preventative measures in caring for your teeth and gums. I’ve been very pleased with all the dental work they’ve done and have had great experiences with both Dr. Wong and Dr. Barretto. Mayra is an equally great hygienist. She even sweetly invited my daughter to come watch my cleaning in preparation for her first dental appointment. Such a genuinely caring practice that does excellent work!
From the moment you walk through the door and are greeted by Lindsey you know you are in good.hands. Did I say good? I should have said “the best”. This is all due to my dental technician and hygienist, Mayra. Each and every time she gives a thorough exam and and cleaning. She explains each step and I always learn something new! I presently have braces and Mayra is such a positive force in helping me to maintain good dental health. I have been going to W&B Dentristy for about 15 years. ‘ Highly recommend it 😁.
Mayra is a wonderful hygienist. Very thorough and gentle and follows up with helpful tips on how to improve dental care at home.
I was referred to W&B when I moved to CA 5yrs ago. I had terrible dental experienced since childhood and really hated going to the dentist. All that has changed since going to W&B Dental. Dr. Wong is very good at what he does. I had several procedures including fillings and crowns and the process was so painless it felt like I wasn't getting anything done. I also love going to Myra the Dental Hygeniest. She is amazing and so passionate about gum health. She has really helped me step up my dental routine and always shows me the proper techniques to have healthy teeth and gums. She is also very fun to talk with. I don't feel like I'm going to the dentist, I feel like I'm going to see my friend that just so happens to work at the Dentist Office.If you are looking for a Dental Care with a friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff and the best technology, this is definitely the right choice.
My husband and I both go to Dr. Wong and we’ve been really happy with him as our dentist. The office runs efficiently and staff are very professional and friendly. I also like that they use state of the art equipment and can do a crown in one visit. (They make the crown on the spot in their office.) My experience with Dr. Wong is that he only recommends work when you really need it. He’s not recommending procedures you don’t need or may not yet need. I think that builds trust with his patients. I’d definitely recommend this dental practice.
My son and I have been patients of Dr. Wong for many years and we have never had a bad experience. Always on time and every procedure is done right. Mayra is the best hygienist we have ever had. We love coming to you. Thank you all for taking great care of us. Highly recommended.
They do a very thorough job and have helped to teach me some things about my at-home dental practices that help me minimize the things we need to do in the dental chair. Myra & Dr. Wong have always done great work with me. I feel VERY COMFORTABLE telling anyone that this is a great and friendly place to get your dental work done!
Have been going to this dental office since 2016. Will recommend to my family and friends.
Dr. Wong is knowledgeable. He listens. And he's been very good and understanding with our kids. Great hygienists too.
For 15 years I have used this dental office. Love them. Granted I don't mind the dentist, but they have been great throughout a plethora of teeth issues. And they always make great recommendations. They do not disappoint!
I live about 45 miles away and I cant find any other place to get my dental work. Great friendly staff and they look out for your best interest.
Our family have been clients for years. Great practice, friendliest staff ever!
I delayed in writing this review because with time you are suppose to get perspective of how things went, not feedback based on impulse. I sincerely hope not many folks read review about this dental practice because whenever I have provide honest feedback I have to be wait listed (again) for appointment / schedule.I've been a patient for several years, so here is my review. My dental hygienist, Mayra provides a level of care where after treatment you realize, it's not normal...in the sense that it's hit a new benchmark and excellence where you can not, you will not settle for anything less. Ever have an experience where you say "oh", now I know?....that's Mayra. Dr Wong, oh boy, the doctor knows his stuff and takes time to talk with you. Let me say this again, a doctor who talks with you, not at you, about recommendations and treatments, what's in YOUR best interest. This practice is not restaurant or spa, where folks chose what's off the menu and whether it suits them. It's a first rate, superior health facility...with people who really care..from the time you enter and meet Lindsey at front, to when you leave you have a nice experience....but it's the next day and day when things settle in....wow..your oral treatment or care feels awesome!So I've shot myself in the foot again....but I'm willing to take a chance because great work and service should always be recognized by folks who work hard very day to make a positive difference . Thank you for all your care.
Friendly staff and great service! I've been going for years.
After landing a job in WC 5 years ago, I needed a dentist that was local to my commute. I was lucky enough to find W&B Dental and couldn't have found a better dentist! Everyone at the office, Dr. Wong, Myra, Lindsey, & Dr. Barretto (sorry if I forgot anyone!) are all very accommodating and caring of their patients. If you're looking for a dentist in the WC area, I highly recommend W&B Dental!
Dr. Wong is very detailed and knowledgeable. Hygienist Mayra is very personable and helpful, and Omar is also very friendly and competent.
The staff here is super friendly and professional. Our whole family comes here for our dental care and we are always impressed with the quality of service we receive. I recommend this office very highly!
I have been a patient of Dr. Wong since 2012, every visit has been a positive experience. I am thankful when I have needed a crown, a few now, Dr. Wong is able to do the appointment in one visit. No temporary and then return when the crown is ready. I am an apprehensive dental patient, and I can't say enough for my hygienist, Myra, (forgive me for spelling errors)and the office staff, Lindsay. I feel heard and well- cared for! THANK YOU, Dr. Wong and staff!
I don’t like writing any comments good or bad. Occasionally, I feel like it’s necessary to when I come across a phenomenal absolutely great service. I have been in so many different dentist ( hygienist) and I have to let everyone know that if your looking for a Hygienist, don’t look no further. Asked for Myra she is your Woman!!! She’s been doing this for 20 years and she will leave you with a cleanest mouth ( teeth ) and that clean feeling you get when you get a deep cleaning?! Imagine having that every visit for a regular clean. And any procedure that’s needed to get done whether filling or anything?! Miss Barreto will make sure you get The Best of the best!! Yap enough said!! 5 star service
I have been coming to Dr Wong and Barrett’s for probably about 6 years now and I have to say that the Drs and staff here make the visits so comfortable and easy that I keep coming back. I would recommend them to anybody who has even a little bit of fear for dentists like I used to have. 5 stars for great service and making my smile beautiful and healthy!
I have been a loyal patient for many years due to the professionalism and friendly staff. They go out of their way to make sure you are always informed about what insurance will and will not cover, and to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible during your visit. As someone who dreads dental visits and is picky about hygienists, I can honestly say that this office has never failed to give me kind, compassionate service.

I have been in so many different dentist ( hygienist) and I have to let everyone know that if your looking for a Hygienist, don’t look no further. Asked for Myra she is your Woman!!! She’s been doing this for 20 years and she will leave you with a cleanest mouth ( teeth ) and that clean feeling you get when you get a deep cleaning?! Imagine having that every visit for a regular clean. And any procedure that’s needed to get done whether filling or anything?! Miss Barreto will make sure you get The Best of the best!! Yap enough said!! 5 star service
I have been going to Dr. Wong and Dr. Barretto for years. They are very professional, caring and proficient. I always have a positive, seamless experience whenever I need dental work. Mayra, my dental hygienist, is the best! She provides excellent advice and cleanings. I highly recommend W&B Dental.
W&B Dental has been my go-to office since it opened in Walnut Creek. Drs. Christopher Wong and Michelle Barretto have the most up-to-date equipment and knowledge, and Mayra is an extremely thorough and conscientious hygienist. They address dental health as an important component of their patients' overall health. A bonus is that all are punctual in keeping appointments to the minute!
This dental office does a wonderful job explaining everything. Everyone in the office is friendly and makes you feel comfortable. Whether you’re getting a regular cleaning or more work done, they are gentle, thoughtful and efficient. They make going to the dentist enjoyable. The location is easy to find and parking is easy. I would highly recommend this office!
Fantastic staff and excellent service... knowledgeable and friendly, so the experience is pleasant and I don’t dread going to the dentist! 😁
Finally found the perfect dentist in the Bay Area. Dr. Wong and his team are excellent and really care about their patients!
After moving to WC 3 years ago, I needed a dentist who was able to keep my oral health at par or better. A year into my move (after trying a few local dentist offices), I found W&B Dental. They've not only fixed ALL of my issues but have received great advice on how to prevent issues with very easy to follow tips that work (tried and tested). They explain thoroughly what is going on with my gums/teeth as well as why do certain preventive measures; albeit in a very intelligent and thoughtful manner. I am a creature of proof and this office has proved to me that my search of a local, friendly and efficient dentist office ended 2 years ago when I found them.
Provides professional services and Dr. Wong is always informative of ongoing dental care needs. Mayra is great with explaining issues, giving care tips and providing excellent cleanings. Have used their services for many years and will recommend them to friends and families.
Dr. Wong and his staff are all very easygoing, easy to get along with, and outstandingly professional. They are also thorough and fast! Among the best dentists I have ever had. I'd recommend them to anyone!
The whole staff is welcoming! Their client service staff is excellent and the dentists are wonderful. I always come out of my appointments with a smile. I definitely recommend them!
Lindsay was most helpful getting me settled and helping with insurance before Doctor Wong prepared a crown (in office!) painlessly and quickly on my latest visit to this extraordinary dental practice. IN THE 15+ years I've been coming hereDr. and staff haven't missed a beat.Thanks to one and all. Going to the dentist can actually be a pleasure if you go to the right one, like that of Drs Wong and Baretto
Been going to this dentist for a few years now. I really love the communication, great service and genuine care they provide. I'm not the most relaxed patient and they work with me to make sure I am comfortable at all times. Great service and a very positive environment.
I've been patient for Dr Wong for several years. Dr Wong and his dental hygienists are super friendly and professional. I have gag reflex when taking X-rays and Dr Wong's team was very patient with me. I would recommend Dr Wong's office and their staff.
I have been coming to Dr. Wong and team for a very long time now and travel to Walnut Creek from SF just because I know that this team is the best. I never have to wait additionally from my appointment time and the staff is always so friendly, helpful, genuine, and efficient throughout my appointments. I have seen a few dentists over the years and Dr. Wong is definitely the most trustworthy, effective, and helpful dentist I have been to. The office is so clean and inviting, with a big screen tv and snacks while you wait (if you even wait at all). Thank you Dr Wong and team for being the best out there!
I've been a patient for quite awhile at Dr. Wong and Dr. Barretto's dentistry. Unfortunately I took some time away...and let my teeth/gums suffer. I was very nervous about coming back in, but like always, everyone in the office was very kind and graceful about it and did not make me feel uncomfortable or guilty for having relapsed a bit. I really appreciate that!! I'll continue to be a loyal patient, thanks guys!
This is my 2nd review in a year. The staff is friendly and easy to talk to. The Dr's are very personable. The front desk is persistent with insurance companies and makes sure you get the benefits you pay for from your insurance company. I've been a patient here since Dr Wong took over and will probably bring my kids here when they're old enough.

I have been a patient of this practice since it opened. I have some ongoing issues that require close follow up. I have always appreciated the attention, care, advice, and technical competence of Drs Wong and Baretto, as well as the hygienists. The front desk staff are welcoming and helpful, an added bonus. I can recommend this practice unreservedly and enthusiastically.
First visit -- entire team was very professional, thorough, and friendly. Great first impression.
Good service
Excellent
Dr. Wong and his team are amazing. I'm a new patient. But I feel right at home with them. Super professional. Had me in and out in the exact time slot they said it would be. Courteous. Like long time friends. I'm so glad that I listened to my friend to come in and see Dr Wong.
Very professional people. I have been coming to this office for a couple of decades. I moved from Walnut Creek over two years ago to Brentwood, California. I drive over 30 miles to see Dr. Wong because he and his office maintains my dental health in the most caring and professional manner. New Post: I must admit that I am a "dental wimp". I have a tooth that was going back but I was in denial. There was a fracture discovered during a root canal procedure several years ago. The fracture is progressively getting worst but I am ignoring it. However, through the gentle and professional urging and education by Dr. Wong, I am finally getting the matter resolved so this tooth does not lead to something worst. Both my wife and I will continue to have Dr. Christopher Wong as our general dentist.
The office of Dr. Wong is top notch. Jordan at the front desk is very welcoming and greets you by name. My dental hygienist Dr. Van was quick, thorough, and personable. She made my teeth oh so shiney. Dr. Wong came in and gave a great check up and recommendations on my dental care. I really like how you are not shamed for not flossing or having a cavity, they are understanding and give positive direction on what to do to keep your smile. Give the team a visit, your smile won't regret it.
Amazing Staff

Always get excellent care in a friendly environment.
Dr. Wong and team are the nicest and most thorough dental crew I've been a part of! From front desk to cleaning or fillings, even coming back in from sensitivity for a filling, they are so accommodating, their work is great and prices are totally reasonable. I've been a patient for the past 7-8 years and during that time have been seen by all of the dentists and hygienists. The entire office is wonderful! Highly recommend.
I have been a patient of this office before Dr.s Wong and Baretto took over from Dr. Swallow. They are very friendly, professional, and thorough. I've been to two other dentists in the area in the past 15 years of living in the area. Other offices may be fancier, but I've never been talked into needless procedures by Dr. Wong or Dr. Baretto. I love the friendly receptionist/billing staff, the doctors themselves, but I especially love my dental hygienist, "V"! She's amazing. Highly recommend this office.
I've been a patient forever and this really is one of the best practices out there. Very attentive and caring individuals. They care that your mouth is healthy, provide preventative tips and never recommend anything that's not necessary.
I have been going to see Dr. Wong and his staff for a very long time. Love them, they are always so nice!
Dr Wong's office is always a 5-star experience. My whole family has been coming for many years. Even my 10-year old son still enjoys going to Dr Wong's office! And that says a lot! The staff are always incredibly helpful, kind, and professional, along with an expertise that confirms I am at the right dental office!
Great dentist and wonderful staff. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new dentist.
Dr. Wong and his staff are excellent! The prices are reasonable, the service is great, and this from a person who avoided dentists for quite a while because of the costs, prices, and the frequent push to get patients to get more.... I'm glad the doctor is younger than me because I don't want to have to find another doctor when he finally retires.
I always have a good experience at Dr Wong's dentist office. Hygienist Myra is very thorough, and explains everything as she goes along, giving a lot of technical background why it is good to floss, and best way to brush to extend life of teeth and gums.Dr. Wong always comes in for a look, and to study xrays and visit the teeth he previously indicated to "watch". I feel that the office is honest, and only performs work on teeth when they really need it. I highly recommend Dr Wong and especially hygienist Myra.
Dr Wong is great! He was so calm & friendly with my 16yr old who's teeth were chipped. Dr. Wong gave us options & suggestions. Then, sensitive to the timing, he got her in quickly & did a beautiful job fixing her smile. THANK YOU DR WONG!!
If you find friendly service, beautiful caring people, and free coffee annoying... this isn't the place for you. I honestly wish I could hang out with these people outside of E 202.Let's start with Jordan at the front desk. She holds it down and is easily the best receptionist within 250 sq miles. Not only is she warm and welcoming, but she is willing to take the time to schedule an appointment WITH you. Her skills aren't limited to dealing with patients in person, NO, Jordan will reply to an email within half an hour. She is essentially a young, hot Mrs. Clause, except more helpful and less judgmental.Van is the best dental hygienist I've ever met. She knows it ALL and will give you the facts without judgement. I didn't go in for any cleanings for a couple years and Van explained clearly and efficiently what's going on with my mouth now and the steps to make it/keep it cleaner. I have to go back for a deep cleaning and I'm more excited than anything else. Van is so smart and has great people skills. I honestly believe she should be the first woman President of the United States of America.Dr. Wong should be cloned and put in charge of every dentist office in America. He takes the time to meet with EVERY patient that sits in the chair. You can tell he actually cares about his patients. Dr. Wong will answer any questions you have and isn't too pushy. Unlike other dentists, he won't push any procedure on you that isn't absolutely necessary. Once he gives you all the info there is about to know about your mouth, he has the respect and decency to let you make informed decisions for yourself. I would trust this guy with my life and I wouldn't be surprised if this man won the first Nobel Teeth Prize. Seriously, I am BLESSED to call him my dentist.Thank you every one at W&B Dental for being you!!!
I always have a great visit here! I researched dentists that are closer to where I live and I opted to make the drive out because I can say that I trust Dr Wong's opinions, work & staff.
Visiting Dr. Wong's office is always a great experience. It's a very friendly and comfortable atmosphere. From Jordan at the front desk, Mira that does the cleanings and Dr. Wong's care and consultation. In all my years of visiting dentists twice a year mainly for cleanings, I have not had someone as thorough and knowledgeable as Mira. They always leave me a voicemail and text to confirm my appointment which is very convenient and helpful. And they have always been on time for the appointment. Best ever!
Very friendly and very accommodating. The girls at the front desk are the best. You are always greeted with a warm and friendly smile. I would certainly recommend Christopher Wong to anyone searching for a new dentist. He is very passionate about his work and great at it. Thanks guys!!

I've been going to Dr. Wong and Dr. Barretto for the past 3 years now. Even though I live 1.5 hours away, it is well worth the drive. I've had a wide range of procedures done - fillings, crowns, and regular maintenance. They give the highest quality of care and are very thorough. Their entire staff is also very conscientious and pleasant to work with.If you are looking for dentists who will take great care of you, Dr. Wong and Dr. Barretto are the ones.
I had an urgent dental issue and called Dr. Wongs office. Jordan was helpful in getting me an appointment ASAP. When I got there I was quickly taken back and Amanda gathered the information needed to help diagnose my problem.When Dr Wong entered, he was briefed and spend time to evaluate what the issue may be. He stopped to explain what the concern may be and put me to ease. Finally he gave me a referral in case things got worse. As someone who does not have dental insurance I felt comfortable with the services I received at a very reasonable price.Keep up the great job. Highly recommend Dr Wong.
I have been going to Dr.Wong now for over a year, along with my husband. We both love it here. The staff always greets us by name, they remember personal information and treat you like their family. They take care in all of the work they do. I also love that the wait times are short, and if you seem to wait a little longer than normal on that rare occasion, they do have a kuerig machine and a great selection of current magazines ! We definitely recommended this dentist office!
Always get excellent care in a friendly environment.
I actually look FOWARD to coming here! Very professional, polite, and modern. I have spent more than most at the dentist office in my life and I can say that Dr Wong and Dr Barretto are two of the best!
Highly recommended based on the following:1. Patience communications and information - concise, accurate and informative rating 5/52. Precision, care, quality of service - rating 5/53. Recommendation of future treatments for long term care 5/5Dr. Wong and his staff have provided the highest level of service and care; this evaluation based on the comparison from receiving same treatment/procedure from multiple DDS in multiple regions in the U.S, including in the Bay Area. The professionalism and precision of dental work was beyond expectation. Had crown replacement and work was like diamond quality.I have found that there are LOTS of practices that can do the work, but experience has shown that it's very hard to find the "one" can do the level of work and sincerely care about oral health.In my book, this is the best keep secret in Bay Area for dental care.
They are seriously so great! I love going to the dentist
Great place with great people. Thanks for the great service as always!!
I was recommended to Dr Wong by a friend when he learnt that I was afraid of Dentists. I was impressed by the staff, their friendliness and professionalism made me feel comfortable from the start. Dr Wong made me feel at ease and walked me through the entire process and showed me all troublesome areas on the x-rays. He listened to my concerns and offered suggestions for course of treatment if needed. The Hygienists during both visits were very gentle and my gums were not sore nor sensitive or bleeding after the cleanings. I shall definitely return to his office and recommend him to friends.

This office is extremely professional, the staff is very friendly and highly educated about all the procedures that the office offers. Both Dr Wong and Dr Barretto are AWESOME!!! They are kind, gentle, and very thorough. Everything is explained very clearly to you before anything is even done. Highly recommend this office to anyone.
Great service and loved the friendly staff and Dr. Wong. They were very quick and got me and my husband in and out at the same time. We only had to miss an hour of work. They took xrays and cleaned my teeth and didnt give me crap for not having gone to the dentist for the past couple years.They called and reminded me of my appointment 24 hours before.I would recommend this office!!!
Highly Recommend!!!This was my first trip to the dentist in a LONG time (8-10 years, embarrassing, I know). Chris and his staff were very kind and explained everything they were doing, and why they were doing it. It was my first appointment, so they took a bunch of x-rays, as well as actual pictures of my teeth. The hygienist did a great job cleaning my teeth and was very considerate to whether it was uncomfortable for me and would take breaks if needed. All in all this was a great experience, and I'm now back on track with going to the dentist.BTW- I had no cavities and for the most part my teeth were doing ok!
Always have a great experience at Dr Wong and Dr Barretto. They are very thorough with the process and the cleaning. I'm glad that I have found a dentist I can trust.

Dr. Wong and his staff do a great job of making you feel comfortable during your visit. Dr. Wong takes the time to give you a detailed overview of what he sees using pictures. The staff is friendly and very helpful also. I highly recommend Dr. Wong and his staff.
I am taking the time to write this review to because of the expert care and honest advice and recommendations I have received from Dr. Wong and Dr. Barretto for the last 5 years. Also, my experience is a perfect example of why you should get a SECOND opinion before doing major dental work. For several years my family and I were patients of Dr. Swallow and quite pleased with her. However, about five years ago she retired and Dr. Wong took over her practice. I wasn't sure if I wanted to with him so I decided to "shop" around for a new dentist. About the same time a coupon in the mail came for a new dentist in Pleasant Hill so I decided to give that dentist a try. After, the "free exam" that dentist told me I had four cavities, needed intensive gum cleaning and a night guard to stop my teeth grinding. I was stunned - I am over 50 and have never had a single cavity (and I still have several baby teeth). Of course, the work would cost me thousands! What a creep and a crook! To say the least I was shocked - I had always had great dental checks ups. I left quickly and then decided to give Dr. Wong a try. I didn't tell Dr. Wong about my experience but just waited to see what his exam/prognosis would reveal. Dr. Wong told me I did NOT any caviies, my gums looked great, and all I needed was an annual cleaning. I asked him if I had signs of wear on my teeth from grinding. He said absolutely not. The exam and and cleaning cost me $110. Five year later I am still very pleased with him and his staff.Dr. Barretto cleaned my teeth and gums last week and was so gentle and thorough. I highly recommend them both!.
I actually made an appointment with Dr. Wong and got Dr. Barretto instead.The office is ran well and everything was done efficiently and everyone in the office is knowledgeable. I had stains on my teeth and the hygienist took them right off.Pain free and thorough dental experience.
Efficient, fast & on time office (shared with Dr. Chris Wong). Making an appointment is quick (no sitting on hold), all appointments are confirmed via email and you can even give email feedback about your last visit.When visiting the office, the hygentists (sp?) and drs don't give you a bad time like I have experienced at some dentists. They are great about giving tips and explainations. Digital x-rays....awesome!The waiting room is super clean, there are plenty of clean and recent magazines to read (although I never get a chance since they are always running on time or early), there is TV with movies for kids, and you can also help yourself to a hot beverage machine.
Going to the dentist is no fun especially after 5 years. I believe that I found him on Yelp. I walked in and had to wait a good 5-10 mins to be acknowledged. But that happens from time-to-time. I sat down and immediately fell in love with the dental hygienist. She was beautiful. During my cleaning my teeth turned out to be in excellent condition (no cavities WOOHOO) but my heart was broken. She was a temp and now she will be out of my life forever. Anyways, Dr. Wong this is an excellent dentist. Office is updated on all the latest technology. Smooth process. I have never had so much care put into a cleaning before. Thanks! and bring back the temp :P
I'm sure there are a lot more yelpers that read the reviews rather than write it. I am one of those. I never really write reviews until I know its worth the praise. This practice deserves just that. I've been going to Dr. Wong since 2008. I moved to the bay area from another country and I was introduced to this practice by my wife who's obviously been going here before me. She sees Dr. Barretto, who's also great by the way.First of all, I get a more welcoming atmosphere here than any other practice I've been to. The receptionist is very friendly, prepared and knowledgeable. The coffee machine is a great touch. I've been going here for more than 2 years and I never had to wait for more than 5 minutes.If you're there for a cleaning, the hygienists are very professional, gentle and efficient. Mike E's right for saying that "they don't get preachy and give you a judgmental flossing speech". These are important qualities especially if you're very conscious about your dental habits.The rooms are very clean. I know, that's key. Not only that, they have digital xrays, large monitors and you get an email that reminds you of your appointment. That's really helpful. There are two doctors, which is good. I've seen them both but Dr. Wong is my primary dentist. I'm telling you, he's great. He's very informative but not irritatingly chatty. I like how he describes everything before he proceeds to do it. It mentally prepares you for what you're about to feel and do. My questions are answered intelligently. He seriously rehabilitated my teeth from the ugly set that they were to the gleaming choppers that they are now.
Today was my first visit to Dr. Wong's office. I made an appointment based on the great reviews I read on yelp while looking for a new dentist. I called Dr Wong's office on Monday to make an appointment and was able to get an appointment for that week. When I arrived this morning, the receptionist was very friendly and had all my paperwork ready before I got there. I was called in from the waiting room within a minute or 2 of sitting down. The hygienist was friendly, fun, and gentle while cleaning my teeth. I was also impressed by the modern equipment (digital x-rays and such). Dr Wong was really nice and very informative also. I would highly recommend this office to anyone!
Great service, up to date technology (digital charts, email and text reminders). I have had a lot of issues dental-wise, and have spent more than my share of time in dental offices. I really enjoy the environment here. I would recommend them to anyone!
Dr. Barretto is the best dentist I've had. She's gentle and precise and always puts me at ease.There's never any pressure. She's sensitive to where I might be feeling pain and quickly adjusts her movements to make sure the pain is minimized.I had a cleaning once when I had to have quite a few novocaine injections and all wear easily bearable. I've been with dentists who don't really care how the patient feels as long as they get done what they need done. Dr. Barretto manages to accomplish both.She works with her husband, Doctor Wong, who is also quite good. Too bad she's on maternity leave now.
I trusted the reviews on here, and they were right. I relocated here from the East Coast and after going to the same dentist for 8 years, I was totally bummed to have to find a new one. I looked up providers in my area on my insurance company's site and then went down the list and found Dr. Wong and Dr. Barretto. They are totally awesome. Everyone in the office was so super nice and both doctors were great. I am so happy to have found them and would definitely recommend them to anyone.
Okay, I'm one of those super duper procrastinators that does not go to the dentist unless my teeth make me cry. Shameful, I know.Anyway, I felt bad that we are paying $$ for our Metlife Dental and not using our benefits. I finally upped and made appointments for me, my husband, and our three kids. My kids, I knew were going to be fine, I actually take them, but their last dentist was somewhere out in the boondocks and we needed a new one closer to home. I made my appt. first. Figured if I didn't like them, I wouldn't subject my kids to them. Well, Karen, in the front desk helped me out greatly. Verified my ins., made my appointment, made a friendly little reminder call the day before, all that good stuff. She even sent me all of our forms so I wouldn't have to come in early to fill them out. When I got in, she was nice and helpful and prompt. The moment my butt sat down on one of the waiting room chairs, Tammy, the hygienist called me in. Nice not to wait, but dang, the Dr. had some good magazines I wanted to read. Oh well. Tammy was great. I confessed how awful and shameful I was for knowingly ignoring my teeth. She did not give me the guilt trip my childhood dentist used to give me (hmmm, I wonder why I don't go to dentists?). She was encouraging and skillful with her xray placements. The cleaning and gum exam wasn't bad at all, not a day in the park, but not terrible. She was top notch with that suction thing which is A+ for me. I've felt like I were drowning at some other cleanings when they would forget to suction. Tammy also ended up doing my 11 year old sons a few weeks later and he thought she was great, too. Dr. Wong does the exam. He's nice, kinda quiet, very young. The exam was quick and he explained everything I need done as we looked at my x-rays. He welcomed any questions that I had and seemed very laid back with my kids and myself. He cleaned my 7 year old daughter's teeth and she did not complain once and said it was fine. Of course, she was more interested in the prize chest. He's gonna give me a crown on my sad neglected #18 in a couple of weeks. Why oh why do I procrastinate!?
I've had SO many bad experiences with dentists that I stopped going for a while but I felt it was time to venture to a new dentist now that I am in a new area. I ended up having a great experience with Dr. Wong and their amazing hygenist. I am a bleeder and she was very gentle and I was never in pain. It was great! The entire staff for friendly and efficient. I am telling everyone I know up here to go see them - they won't regret it!
