The dentist spoke with me and offered two options for an appointment the same day. I arrived for the appointment, and I was greeted by receptionist she was friendly and attentive. There was a minimal weight that allowed me to complete the registration forms, and the dental technician brought me straight to an exam room. The dentist was friendly and immediately examined the bridge. X-rays were taken and the dentist briefed me using the x-rays to show me the problem. She offered 2 solutions as I am from out of state. She was very clear and explained both options. This is Thursday evening 5PM, I have an appointment to get the preparation and temporary bridge with impressions for the finished product on Saturday morning. To say the least I am grateful for the super quick appointment and the kindness the dentist and staff afforded to me. My bridge had to have broken so I could meet the Dr. Vundavalli who is a wonderful and kind person. I would recommend anyone needing emergency work, or just a great dental office for hygiene, maintenance or cosmetics this is a great office.

I saw multiple dentists afterward, and I was told that getting a crown would fix the problem. However, I was hesitant to proceed without being completely sure and wanted to find a dentist who would carefully evaluate the situation. Dr. Chandana listened to my concerns, examined my tooth, and found that I only needed a simple bite adjustment, which took less than two minutes. My pain went from severe to completely zero, and I was amazed. She is highly skilled, kind, honest, and has excellent bedside manners. She truly cares about her patients and focuses on finding the right solution rather than unnecessary treatments. I also had two wisdom teeth extracted by her, and the procedure was smooth and painless. She made me feel calm and confident about dental care again. I highly recommend Dr. Chandana Vundavalli!

Since my first review, I've had my frenectomy and gum graft. Both turned out perfectly. Dr. Choi is…read morea remarkable periodontist and an extremely kind person. There isn't a lot that I can say about my procedures other than they couldn't have gone any better. After both, Dr. Choi called me from his home on the evenings of the procedures to make sure everything was OK. He also offered his home phone in case I needed something. I've had something called Tori under my gums. They're small bony growths. I think it's pretty common, but I had one that was sharp and was starting to cause problems. I received a quote at one point for about $5,000 to remove two spots. I really only needed the one removed as the other wasn't a problem at all. During my graft procedure, Dr. Choi removed the troublesome spot and refused to accept any sort of compensation. Not only was this incredibly kind of him, but it helped me avoid future expense, pain and recovery. While it may not seem like a big deal, it was. By doing this for me, Dr. Choi puts himself on the hook for any liability or complications resulting from that work. That's a pretty big deal and I'm grateful to have met this man and to have had him do my work.

So, for about 15 days I was in pain, and could barely eat! If it weren't for his staff (which as very nice, empathetic, and tried to make me feel better) this would be a 1-Star review.

Her staff are all very friendly and professional, each cleaning I've had has always been great. I love chatting with them between things and such. The office is very clean and bright, ample parking available in the lot right outside. When it came to replacing old fillings, costs and such were detailed with what my insurance covered and such. There was a billing mishap with insurance coverage changing dates, Dr. Gupta showed me all her attempts to rectify it with my insurance before bringing it up to me and I honestly appreciate the effort. If it's a job that Dr. Gupta doesn't do (i.e root canal), her recommendations were great and skillful.

All of that was rectified when I took a chance by going in to see Dr. Johnny and his team of professionals. - Years later now I look back and I'm so thankful to God first and foremost, myself for having courage and Bay Breeze Dental for being the dentist office of integrity and understanding that they are. - They didn't make me feel embarrassed by my dental condition, I felt very at ease, welcomed and accepted. I had no insurance at the time, but they were accommodating by setting me up on a payment that was within my monthly budget. - Most importantly they played more of a key role than I think they even realize in helping me create and live out a better life. Something very good emerges from within you when you don't feel embarrassed about the way your mouth looks. You feel free to talk with people, even up close. You can give a loved one a kiss and not hope they're not thinking how disgusting your mouth looks. - Maybe those insecurities were only my own, but I doubt it. When you have a positive self image, you can better be who you are in life, in the world, and not spend any of your mental cpu wondering about things you don't have to stress about. You don't hold yourself back from opportunities from fear of what people will think of they see you up close. - Of coarse dental health is only one part of living life in a positive and productive way - but I can say from experience - it does have an impact on everything else you do and not just mentally but physically, in a literal way. I never knew how big of an impact my oral health had on my entire health overall... thanks to Dr. Johnny and his team, I do now! I definitely have my forever dentist, only hopefully just for routine checkups! - Highly recommend @bay_breeze_dental in Pleasanton, CA. Consistent, honest and top quality work for years now. If you're needing a regular dentist, checkups, or major work I would definitely recommend going to Dr. Johnny and his team. They are truly awesome!

Carolyn and Brenda are also amazing dental assistants who always make appointments more enjoyable by their friendly presence. Mandeep is extremely thorough as a dental hygienist while trying to be as gentle as possible (which I appreciate as a patient with super sensitive nerves) and Dr Johnny is as consistent as ever with his excellent care, patience, and dedication to not upcharging for unnecessary work. He'll always provide all the options & details and is happy to answer as many questions as it takes for his patients to feel comfortable and well cared for before committing to any procedures or costs. Some of the staff has changed over the years, but the service has always remained top tier no matter what. I'm so thankful for this great team and their genuine care.

From the moment I walked in, the entire staff created an environment that felt welcoming, professional, and incredibly supportive. One of the things that stood out most was how communicative and transparent the team was throughout the entire process. Before the procedure, they took significant time to thoroughly explain my situation and why a coronectomy was the safest option for one of my wisdom teeth. Instead of rushing through the consultation, they carefully walked me through the anatomy of the tooth and its proximity to the nerve, explaining how a full extraction could increase the risk of nerve damage. They clearly laid out the pros and cons of a coronectomy versus full removal, making sure I understood the reasoning behind their recommendation. I really appreciated that they didn't just tell me what to do--they made sure I fully understood why the procedure was necessary and what the long-term outcomes would likely be. Dr. Shimel was especially impressive. He has a rare combination of technical expertise and genuine empathy that immediately puts patients at ease. It was clear that he truly cares about his patients, not just the procedure itself. He took the time to answer every question I had--no matter how small--and explained things in a way that was easy to understand without feeling rushed or dismissed. His calm and reassuring demeanor made a situation that could have been stressful feel very manageable. On the day of the surgery, the entire staff was incredibly attentive. They checked in frequently, made sure I was comfortable, and clearly explained what would happen before and after the procedure. The surgery itself went smoothly, and the post-operative instructions were extremely clear and detailed, which made recovery much easier. They also made sure I knew exactly what symptoms to expect and when to reach out if I had any concerns. What impressed me most overall was the level of professionalism combined with compassion. Dental surgery can be intimidating, but the team here consistently made me feel informed, respected, and cared for. It's clear that patient safety and comfort are top priorities. If anyone needs wisdom teeth removal or a coronectomy, I would absolutely recommend this practice. The expertise, communication, and empathy from Dr. Shimel and the entire team make them truly stand out. This was easily a five-star experience from consultation through recovery.

Office hours show in office and open, but then the times you go down there, they will not actually be there. This would not be a problem if they did not play a game with 'pay the full price before you get the work done or insurance pays' game, but unfortunately they require full payment up front- thus creating a mess to 'pick up your check' after the fact. They broke me two separate checks and required me to come down twice, calling me both times letting me know a check was there, instead of just waiting on both to show up. Again. Dr is nice and did solid work. The front desk and process is killing the ratings. No paying up front, and no requiring collecting checks twice. Fix your office hours to when you are actually in office- I know its mind blowing.
