I had an excellent experience and highly recommend this dental clinic to anyone seeking outstanding care. The treatment environment was exceptional—clean, comfortable, and very professional. Every staff member was incredibly kind, friendly, and made me feel at ease from the moment I arrived.
I would especially like to express my sincere appreciation to Dr Roy Chung. He demonstrated remarkable knowledge, skill, and humility throughout my treatment. His professionalism and genuine care gave me great confidence and comfort.
I am truly thankful for the excellent service I received. This is one of the best dental experiences I have ever had, and I highly recommend Half Moon Bay Marina Dentists to everyone.

Half Moon Bay Marina Dentists
One of the best decisions in my life was to, even without any reference, visit the clinic and was attended to by Dr Roy who is such a good doctor. Very helpful, confident, non judgmental and a go getter. He managed my very old crown issues and gave me best advice. Feel non-intimidating with him as compared with other such specialists I've seen here in the dental field. I feel I am in the best of hands with him. The clinic is neat and clean and very well attended by a friendly receptionist too! Inadvertently, I have found a very good clinic for my family. Thank you, Dr Roy

I had a scooter accident and broke my front tooth, what a disaster!!!! Dr. Mechkov restored my smile with a ceramic veneer, and I honestly can’t believe how natural it looks. You would never know it’s not my real tooth. Thankfully ACC covered the cost of treatment. I’m so grateful that my smile feels brand new again!

Thank you Alexei for sharing your story — dental trauma is stressful, especially when it affects a front tooth.
We’re very glad we could help restore your smile after the accident. Dr. Alex Mechkov has extensive experience in ceramic veneers and trauma dentistry, with a strong focus on achieving natural aesthetics that blend seamlessly with your own teeth. When done correctly, a veneer should be completely indistinguishable from a natural tooth — exactly the result we aim for.
At Marina Dentists, we regularly treat ACC dental injury cases, managing both the clinical side and ACC documentation to make the process as smooth as possible for our patients.
We’re happy to hear your smile feels brand new again. Thank you for trusting us with such an important restoration.
Excellent
Excellent service.

As a young adult, going to the dentist can be nerve-wracking, but my experience at this clinic was honestly amazing. I was treated by Dr Roy and Dr Alex, and they both made me feel completely relaxed with no stress or worry at all. They were kind, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which really put me at ease. The whole team was welcoming and supportive. I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone looking for a comfortable and positive dental experience.

I’ve had botox treatments with Dr. Alex at Marina Dentists three times now.
He is very professional, gentle, and has an amazing eye for natural balance. My face looks fresh and relaxed, never “frozen.” Each visit is quick, comfortable, and the results last beautifully
I completely trust Dr. Alex and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for subtle, natural-looking results!

Dr Roy Chung has done such an amazing job on my dental implant. I was so grateful that he explained all the steps of the procedure, gave me a lot of assurance and was super patient as i was very nervous and anxious. He was the only dentist that I have ever come across who had a heart to serve with care. Recommend him 100% .. Thank you Dr Roy

I came to Marina Dentist with servere pain under a dental bridge. Another clinic told me the bridge had to be removed and that i would need root canl treatment afterwards.
However, Dr. Alex manadged to treat the root canals without remocing the bridge - carefully, precisely.
He saved me a lot of time, money, and stress. The tooth feels great now, and the bridge is still perfectly intact.
I'm trutly impressed by Dr. Alex's skill and experience highly recommend him.

Roy genuinely cares about the wellbeing of his patients. I have had a few dental problems this year and am really lucky to have had Roy. He takes the time to really explain my options, and I always trust that I am in safe hands as he is highly skilled and professional. He always makes sure I feel relaxed, comfortable and pain-free, even during more complicated treatments. The whole team is friendly and compassionate, and I feel supported by everyone within the practice.

I had my own appointment at Marina Dentist recently and once again they exceeded expectations. The team is incredibly professional and genuinely puts their patients first, making sure you feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire visit.
The atmosphere is always welcoming, with such a good vibe from everyone there — and the laughter just makes the experience even better. It’s not often you look forward to a dentist visit, but this team really makes it a positive one every time.
Highly recommend!

Hands down the best dental experience I’ve ever had.
I went in to have a tooth removed and was immediately put at ease by the warm, welcoming receptionist. Dr Roy Chung was exceptional—professional, informative, and incredibly calming throughout the procedure. I usually feel quite anxious at the dentist, but his approach made a real difference.
Grateful for the care I received. Highly recommend.

Review from Google
A month ago, I had terrible tooth pain the kind that makes you ready to run anywhere just to make it stop. I went to my family dentist, and she referred me to an endodontist. I called half the Auckland, everywhere the nearest appointment was in two weeks. You can imagine, there was no way I could wait that long. Antibiotics and painkillers barely helped.A friend recommended Marina Dentists, and I went there the same day. They found a spot for me right away (they told that always try to make space for patients in severe pain). Dr. Alex placed medication on the root, and by evening, the pain was gone.All treatment was done under a microscope — not every endodontist in Auckland has one, as I found out. The total cost was $2400, while the specialists I called were starting from $3500. At that moment I didn’t really care about the price, but in the end, it turned out to be over a thousand dollars cheaper. That’s money I can now use to put a crown on the same tooth.Thank you, and my advice to everyone: don’t wait until it gets unbearable.

Thank you for taking the time to share your story. We’re glad we could see you on the same day and help you get out of pain — we always try to make space for urgent cases like yours.
Alex uses the microscope for all root canal treatments because it allows for much more precise work, especially in difficult situations.
It’s great to hear that the pain settled quickly and that the treatment went smoothly. We appreciate your trust and are glad we could help.

Dr. Roy removed all 4 of my son’s wisdom teeth. The procedure took about 2 hours, but it’s definitely better to go through it once and get it done. Thank you — everything went smoothly!
My son asked me to convey his greetings and words of gratitude to Dr. Roy.
