Dr. Thuy Bui earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry at University of California, Davis, and her Doctorate of Dental Surgery at University of California, Los Angeles in 1995. Since then, she has been a resident of Alameda where she started her private practice in the heart of the city.
If periodontal disease is detected early, treatment can help prevent the loss of bone or loss of teeth. Periodontal disease attacks the gums and the bone that support the teeth. Plaque is a sticky film of food debris, bacteria, and saliva. If plaque is not removed, it turns into calculus (tartar). When plaque and calculus are not removed, they begin to destroy the gums and bone.

I was with my last dentist for 25 years. After several years of bad advice, or rather no advice, I ended up needing major oral surgery. Left him, found Dr. Thuy Bui and now I feel I’m where I should be. The office is clean. You’re immediately greeted by Giao, who is extremely friendly, professional, and efficient. I appreciate how Dr. Bui studied my records, went over my dental conditions, listened to my concerns, discussed different treatment options, and then we created a plan. It has been obvious to me that she truly cares about her work and her patients. It’s also obvious her hygienists

Dr Bui and staff are excellent. I love a dentist with small hands who cares. Dr Bui offers practical suggestions for the long term care of my teeth and oral health, cleanings are done efficiently and on time and I really appreciate her friendly and professional office staff. Never any issues with billing or scheduling. Thanks Dr.Bui!

Dr. Bui and her staff are the best. I look forward to going to the dentist. I was experiencing some pain and they got me in fast and solved my problem quickly. No pain just competent and efficient professionalism. I have gone to Dr Bui since she first opened in Alameda and cannot even think of going anywhere else.

Dr Bui is fantastic, she explained everything and was extremely thorough. My teeth were cleaned so well, I truly never had a cleaning like that. Staff was very nice, helpful and professional. The only thing I wish they could adjust, was the length of time an appointment is scheduled. It takes a very long time to get in there, so be prepared to wait!

Dr. Bui and her staff in Alameda are very professional with prompt, efficient, and friendly service. I have been getting my teeth cleaned there several times a year for roughly 15 years. I can back this claim up as I no longer live in Alameda yet I have continued to follow up with them several times a year even though I relocated to the Central Valley of California in 2007.
I am blessed to have great dental hygiene and Dr. Bui and her team are integral to my success in this regard. I highly recommend them!!!

I never had a great experience with this dentist for myself and my kids ever before. And now it's my 70 years old mom with a stroke went with this dr for so long and many times paid her cash for any treatment that medical does not cover. This time since the covid 19 my mom has been having tooth ache for 2 months and keep hanging on until she finally got an appt. Took her 2 weeks to get in and they gave her an exam and said my mom need to pull out her 2 tooth but they don't handle it here so sending her to another office. Took her another 2 weeks to get the referral appt and today she

One of the best dentist I have ever been to. Dr. Thuy Bui does a great job every time. She is gentle, caring, and highly professional. She explained everything to me in a way that was easy to understand and helped me to feel confident that I am being well cared for. The front-office staffs are super polite, they confirm my appointment and send reminder every time I had to go.

Been going here for 10+ years. The staff is extremely friendly every time! Always organized, punctual and helpful! I've got any and all of my dental needs addressed here and the work done is excellent and thorough! My most recent visit went even further beyond my expectations and I'm extremely pleased with the cleaning and the knowledge provided to me to help me take exceptional care of my oral health!

Before I made the decision to switch over to an Orthodontist after having a second and third opinion, and realizing that Dr. Bui was not an adequate doctor, as least for my case.
It took me nearly 3 YEARS, $5K, two missing tooth and lots of stress, & my teeth still aren't straight with two large gaps and some shaved down teeth.
Prior to putting on braces the first time, Dr. Bui predetermined that I had a crowded upper-teeth and minor underbite, which was true. & that it would take an average of 2 years.

This is my first visit to Dr Bui's office due to change in my healthcare insurance and my former dentist retirement. I found this office via Yelp and emailed them as a first time patient. The office staff member Yao was so friendly and helpful on the phone that I was assured of a stellar office visit come March. Just had my cleaning with Dr Bui this week and found her very supportive of my current mouth and dental hygiene and a prospective restorative crown in my near future. Parking was easy and convenient as my cleaning appointment was mid-day. Since my recent history of multiple X-rays

Dr. Bui has provided me with extraordinary dental support for the past 10 years. She has provided expert dental expertise and advice in support of my very challenging dental profile. I am super impressed with her work!
She is also very attentive and makes herself available to support me during times of dental emergencies. She has even come into the office on weekends to provide me with emergency dental service!
She truly is a professional who cares and will always go the extra mile in support of her patients!
I am so happy that I can call Dr. Bui my dentist!!!

Dr.Bui is fantastic! Her clients long term dental health is her top priority. Whenever I meet with her she takes the extra time to educate me on all the little details about not only how to care for my teeth but also about the structure and purpose of all parts of the mouth. As a client I feel she has invested in me and I always look forward to her advice. Thanks for the warm and welcoming environment!

This office is one of the cleanest and most professional practices that I've been to in a long time. Every area of this place from the waiting room to the exam area to the restrooms are spotless and completly sanitized. Their exam area is very comforting, the "mood" music and soothing blue sky light covers make every appointment a peaceful experience. Dr.Bui is one of the greatest dentist in Alameda, she always takes her time to fully evaluate each patient's specific needs and does a great job in getting everyone's teeth to tip top shape.

I'm glad so many have had a positive experience, I will provide some balance here.
Saw Dr bui regarding a root canal, came back to her for the crown and while trying to file the tooth down, she cuts the bottom of my tongue with her tool, and then laughs about it! I am so thoroughly disgusted with her. Never will be back!
Also forgot to mention shes a fraudster! She will bill your insurance for whatever is allowed, whether or not that procedure was completed!

Dr. Bui has been my dentist for a few years now, and I'd say that my experience here has been great. The wait to get my teeth cleaned isn't long and the staff here is quite friendly, always greeting me with a warm smile. Dr. Bui has always been professional. She's ready to answer any questions that I have and is quick to inform me on the condition of my oral health. I've never had any problems here, and it's great that Dr. Bui and her staff also speak Vietnamese because it really accommodates my parents and grandparents.

I've been going here since I was a kid. Mom brought me and my brothers. She seems to like Dr Bui. I don't not. I dread everytime I go see herbecause I always leave in pain.
So last week I accidentally missed my appointment and rescheduled for 12/21. I got a call on 12/20 saying that they wanted to move my appointment because one of their other clients couldn't make it to their 11am appointment. I called back immediately say no i made this appointment as early as possible so I can get to work on time. The lady was "OK then we'll see you at 10:30am but you can come at 10

After almost three years without a tooth, and after seeing numerous dentists who offered costly solutions that turned out to be unattainable, and after two false starts that left me nearly broke and in tears, I finally found a dentist who was able to do the work and not have it cost me a fortune.
Dr. Bui precisely knew what to do immediately and this procedure was simple and totally affordable.
Beyond this, Dr. Bui and her kind and friendly staff made me feel welcome and they are always nice. The waiting room is clean and quiet, the music is calming and the work area is pristine.

I have been coming to Dr. Bui, ( pronounced buoy or boo-e), for 3 years now. She's moved from across from the KFC, to across from blue dot cafe, corner of Encinal and Chestnut. Very nice location, if you know Alameda.
Dr. Bui is the kind of dentist with a polite, honest demeanor. She will recommend only what is necessary, and work with you on the financial side (payment wise). Well educated and experienced. She has this technique of making Novocain injections feel painless.
Call in advance to set up insurance participation and appointments. The front office is friendly and accommodating
