I am thankful to have found Dr. Chui! I have been dealing with TMJ for over the past 6 years. I am a designer and work long hours at the computer. I've been grinding heavily at night, clinching throughout the day. My pain became so bad I could not open my mouth all the way and it was painful to smile.  I did a lot of research and went to multiple specialists before finding Dental Wellness. I immediately realized Dr. Chui was an expert in TMJ and understand my problems more than any other specialist I had previously seen. The entire team at dental wellness have been so supportive and understanding. The therapy that goes along with the splint device is remarkable. Dr. Chui is truly a miracle worker. He will listen to all your pain and create the best splint for you. I cannot recommend their services enough!

I’m glad I found Dr Chui so many years ago. My mouth was a war zone with years of grinding and some previous dental work that was less than optimal. I found someone with a steady hand and very modern technology who is passionate about his craft and how it intersects with larger aspects of general health.

Dr. Chui is a kind, caring, gentle, and honest dentist. If you’re looking for a dentist that feels more like a dear family friend that you trust, then see Dr. Chui. I have been his patient for over 20 years and have followed him where ever he goes. I have since moved out of the area and I travel over 200 miles to see him. That’s how good he is.
