Chris Chui, DDS

I took time off work and drove in from Monterey after getting up at 5 a.m., prepared to proceed with treatment, but when I asked for clarification on an irreversible consent form—because it appeared to conflict with another doctor’s recommendation—I was told I’d need to pay an additional $350 just to have it explained, despite already paying $350 for the consult and CBCT scan. I was then charged for declining consent, which felt coercive, reflected poor communication, and undermined my trust; this situation could have been avoided with clear communication before the appointment. For patients with TMJ seeking relief, being put in this position makes walking away difficult and discouraging.

I was referred to Dr. Chris Chui by my dentist for TMJ issues related to jawline misalignment, overly developed jaw muscles, shoulder imbalance, and forward head posture. Dr. Chui is incredibly detailed and caring — he took the time to explain what TMJ really is, the long-term effects if it’s not treated, and walked me through the different options in a way that was easy to understand. I’ve been on an orthotics treatment plan with him for the past 3 months, and I’ve already noticed a big improvement. The tension in my jaw has eased, my posture feels better, and my shoulders feel more balanced. What I really appreciate is how thorough he is in monitoring progress and making adjustments as needed — you never feel rushed, and he always makes sure all your questions are answered. If you’re dealing with TMJ or related issues, I highly recommend Dr. Chui. He genuinely cares about his patients and long-term results.

I've been going to SF Dental Wellness for almost 2 years now for all of my dental needs - the experience, services, and treatment provided have always been excellent. The staff are exceedingly kind and respectful, dentists and practitioners are attentive and skilled, and I've never walked away having anything but a positive visit. What really sets this dental practice apart in my mind is the willingness and effort put forth by the doctors to make the patient (i.e. me, in this case) comfortable, regardless of whether it's a cleaning, filling, operation etc. Dr. Jay in particular has been awesome - working around my teeth sensitivity and taking the extra time to explain his thought process for more involved actions: sharing (and even showing me) what he's seeing, how he's interpreting it, and ultimately (and most importantly) why he would like to do X. For someone like me who historically doesn't love the idea of going to the dentist, this thoughtful and personable approach really makes a world of a difference in making each visit positive. Overall a great practice - highly recommend.

I’ve been going here for years and will co time to go here for years. They offer safe sound advice and never ‘over sell’. I don’t have the best teeth and have been to other dentists whose first inclination is to solve the problem with a filling, not here. They always lead with brush it more often, rinse with water, be aware. I really appreciate that approach, following that approach is a completely different subject. Would highly recommend Dr. Chui and his team.

Dr. Chui is a sensational dentist and person. I worked with him on a TMJ treatment (as well as my regular cleanings) and his care and attention to detail is top-notch. My jaw pain has been alleviated and my spinal alignment feels so much more in tune. He always greets you with a wonderful energy and a smile. You can really tell that he loves the work he does. I used to have so much dental anxiety before coming to San Francisco Dental Wellness and that has all disappeared thanks to Dr. Chui and his incredible team. I would highly recommend working with Dr. Chui to anyone in the Bay Area!
