About us
A neighborhood practice, not a chain
Forty years of history, one small team, and a commitment to treating patients like neighbors — because that's exactly what they are.
Our story
For more than 40 years, this office has been part of the Billerica community. Today it's led by Dr. Thien Tran, carrying on the legacy of Dr. Cedrone for the patients here — many of whom have been coming back for decades, and some who found us through good, old-fashioned word of mouth.
What's stayed the same is the feel of the place: personal, independent, and unmistakably a neighborhood office. You'll see Dr. Tran and the same familiar team at every visit — not whoever happens to be working that day.
We're not part of a corporate chain, and we don't answer to one. Every decision about your care is made by the people in this office, and every appointment is paced to what you actually need — never rushed through to make room for the next patient.

Dr. Thien Tran
Owner & dentist
Dr. Thien Tran has practiced general and cosmetic dentistry for more than a decade, caring for families and long-term patients across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and California. He grew up in Chelmsford and graduated from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine.
He builds a treatment plan around each patient’s own circumstances rather than a standard sequence, and explains the reasoning behind a recommendation before asking anyone to agree to it. Patients most often describe him as gentle, thorough, and straightforward about what does and does not need doing.
As the owner, Dr. Tran runs the practice himself — the same small team at every visit, scheduling that works around jobs and school, and an office kept to the standard he would want as a patient.
Outside the office, he is usually with his family, trying a new brewery, or biking around Boston with his kids.

How we work
What we believe
Continuity of care
You'll see the same dentist and hygienist at every visit — not a rotating cast of strangers.
Only what you need
Treatment recommendations are based on your health, never a production quota.
Real attention
Every appointment is paced to what you need — whether that's a quick visit or extra time in the chair.
