Dr Chao and his team take pride in noticing and accommodating each patient's oral health requirements.

Services
Dr. Chao's history with science and dental care began as a specially trained pharmacy technician during his high school days in Los Angeles. Following graduation from high school he went on to study Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California at Berkeley. A desire to help others and further his education led him to the University of Southern California School of Dentistry.
Dental implants are far from a new procedure, but they hardly resemble their former iteration. The equipment and procedures for dental implants have drastically improved over the years, allowing for a result that is virtually indistinguishable from the look and function of natural teeth. If you're looking to restore missing teeth or replaced damaged teeth, dental implants might be the perfect solution.
If you're seeking a cosmetic dentist in the Sahuarita or Green Valley areas, it's important to work with an experienced dentist who you can trust to provide you with the highest possible quality of care. At Desert Villa Dental, we pride ourselves on providing the safest cosmetic dental procedures to produce the most beautiful results for our patients.
For patients with extensively damaged natural teeth or numerous missing teeth, dentures are a popular and effective solution. Modern dentures are virtually undetectable. They function exactly the same way natural teeth function and can even provide patients with the flawless smile they've always wanted.

Signed a release for past medical records in November for my January appt. Staff could not secure them from previous office. After much persistence on my part we secured my xrays 3months later. For my initial appointment staff never told me that they never cleanyour teeth. Instead its a meet & greet.
Lastly 2 days prior to my January appointment staff called to tell me they could not verify my dental insurance coverage. What? and I should do my best in resolving the problem myself What?. I did and left this practice before I began!
Nobody cares how competent the Dentist is if staff treats somebody

I am a new patient. Just arrived from the San Francisco Bay Area. Marin County. And a very seasoned dental patient. I was very impressed with my first visit. A special shout out to dental hygienist Pauletta who did an amazing job. Very kind and very skilled. And I felt safe as far as covid19 concerns.
I highly recommend the team at Desert Villa.

Bottom Line:
An extraction by Dr. Chau on February 25, 2020 of an infected 6 year molar left me with nerve damage manifested in a numb chin, lip and teeth. Was this caused by infection, extraction difficulty or?
In my opinion Dr. Chau should have referred me to an oral surgeon. The extraction was not easy, the results are so very unpleasant and after being hopeful the situation would improve I now think I will have to adjust to the damage.

I made an appointment which consisted of me only getting X-rays. This took an hour. The woman seemed unsure. She seemed maybe too comfortable with me. They recommended a cleaning. I have NEVER been to a dentist who didn’t automatically clean my teeth, that’s why I went!!! They tried to reschedule me for later that day. It honestly just felt chaotic and unorganized. Please go somewhere else.

I have a gagging reflex and I’m not a fan of X-ray but I don’t know the blonde long hair girls name she put her hand on my shoulder and told me to take deep breaths and made me feel at ease and comfortable. I also noticed when another assistant called her for help she ran to them and brought back something they forgot again running she goes above and beyond great assistants and doctor. First time there

Dr. Chao is great. He listens and answers any questions. When i was in extreme pain, staff got me in quickly. Daisy has been cleaning my teeth for 12 or 13 years. She is wonderful.

I have been seeing Dr. Chao for over 6 years now and can say that Dr. Chao is one of the best dentist in southern Arizona. Dr. Chao has been practicing for over 10 years and comes from one of the top dental schools in the country USC. I trust his dental work, experience, and always has my best interest at heart. I feel he is very honest with my dental needs and performs procedures with ease and quality. I travel close to 30 miles to see him, and I do not regret the commute. Office staff is friendly and the hygienist great at doing gentle cleaning for my sensitive teeth.
