Fantastic dental team at Blende. I've been going to them for the last two years. They're excellent at everything and deliver wonderful patient service. I always feel amazing and brand new after a routine visit with them. I'd recommend their services to anyone seeking a new dentist! read more

Dr. Blende and his superior dentists, techs and front desk rescued me a couple of years ago when I needed many crowns due to old fillings, but with a lower jaw unable to get numb with lidocaine. Add to that I've developed severe dental phobia and fear over the years. Dr. Blende examined me the first visit and it was the first time in the dental chair I felt comfortable and relaxed. They specialize in working with patients with special needs, dental phobia and home-bound adults. Dr. Blende is the only dentist who offers IV Sedation (not "conscious sedation which is half-awake/half asleep)--the only option for me as I cannot have any work done on my bottom teeth without being fully sedated. As a patient of Dr. Blende, and at the age of 69, I have finally experienced calm and trust at the dentist. Dr. Goodman, Lily and the other staff are consistently gentle, understanding, compassionate and keenly trained to work with dental and needle phobes like me. Excellent work, amazing dentists and assistants, friendly desk staff. No pain! No fear! All good! read more

Dr. Blende and his dental group are not only a one-of-a-kind, world-class Dental Surgery team, but more than that, they are a service to their community and a Medical Team that is actually out in the SF community making life-changing impacts for the most challenged of patients. My mother is essentially fully disabled, and so we were in a very difficult situation trying to find her dental care that could help us with the complete degradation of her teeth. Not only did Dr. Blende's group provide the vast services and at-home assessments that we needed for my mom, but they went To All Lengths Imaginable to allow us to afford such a procedure - which was outside of our price range initially. The Dental Care Services rendered were immaculate: A COMPLETE RESTORATION of my Mother's teeth, ending with permanent teeth that she will be able to EAT WITH for the rest of her life. Her new Pearly Whites are her pride and joy, and she was feeling 100% well the day after her Surgery, which I found impressive. I want to also give a special shout out to Molly, who is the care coordinator for Out-of-Office patients at the San Francisco Blende Dental office. Molly exhibited high competence, was able to work rapidly on the fly to coordinate multiple threads with the critical care team, and has the wonderful attribute of empathy-plus-professionalism which defines the greatest medical practices in our country. So, thank you to Molly, and most importantly: Thank you Dr. Blende and the Blende surgery team! You've done so much for my mother, and for our family; I'll never forget it and we are forever grateful. If your loved one needs dental care, you won't find a better Dental Practice in the USA. Blende is in SF as well as NY, and I couldn't recommend these folks any more highly. read more

Blende Dental Group provided a unique dental experience. I feel fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Blende, who I feel compelled to describe as brilliant. From his knowledge and ability to explain complex procedures in an easily understood fashion, to his gentle, patient demeanor, I left his office convinced this is where I will receive the most beautiful smile, albeit not an easy project, as I am 68 years old and have neglected replacement of my veneers far too long. Thank you Dr. Blende and professional staff. read more

I had a minor/periodic toothache over 2-3 days. It was likely due to a tooth that had a slight crack, which Dr. Blende had caught years ago & had referred me to a great orthodontist. That orthodontist recommended to keep an eye on it. I always love medical professionals who would only suggest surgery as a last resort. Fast forward a few years, and voila. I called Dr. Blende & Reagan answered the phone. She was patient, knowledgeable, and went through my file (very thick since I've been a patient of The Blende Dental Group for 3 decades). She then said she'd consult Dr. Blende. He would look at my x-ray & get back to me. Within an hour, I heard back. I was asked to bite down & see if the side of my toothache had met the upper teeth faster than the other side. It was! This happens, they explained, as our teeth move all the time. Dr. Blende could see me the next day if the ache worsens. I am SOOOO thankful to have a dentist & staff who have given me nothing but great care over the decades. read more

My mother is almost 80 years old. After a plan was made for her dental problems Dr. Blende wanted her to pay him a deposit of $ 25,000 which was for future work . She all ready had seen Dr. Blende several times and paid after each visit. Dr. Blende received a deposit of $25,000 from my mother . After a couple months she was not satisfied with Dr. Blende's work so she went to a different Dentist . She called Dr. Blende to let him know her decision and asked him to refund her unused deposit. Dr. Blende said he would send her a check. Several months passed and she still had not received her deposit. She sent several certified letters and called over the next year and still no refund. She ended up having to hire a Lawyer and in the end Dr. Blende only refunded my elderly mother $ 10,000 , which the Lawyer costs were deducted from. The office staff did not help my mother in anyway, they would not even return any calls. Dont waste your time with this Dentist. My Mother ended up getting much better Dental work done for less money and didnt have to pay any more $ 25,000 deposits . Use at your own risk. read more

I have been a patient for almost 40 years. When you are in the seat with Dr. Blende or one of his remarkable (and HOT! I might add), dentists and staff, you are cared for at the highest level. Each person I have met over time, is kind, informative, SO highly trained and very professional. I have had just about every dental event that a mid-60's person might have, including a very involved surgical event. The Blende Dental group were with me before during and after them all. The crowns in my mouth are always complemented when I see another dental professional, as I now live out of the country. I just returned to have Dr. Blende's staff evaluate me, since this large surgical event, so that I could have an evaluation and their "vote of encouragement." still, wonderful humans treating me the entire visit. I have referred others to Dr. Blende, as he is an anesthetic specialist and my friend feared dentists his whole life. Dr. Blende has remarkable talent and skills. He really knew how to care for my friend. I consider Dr. Blende impeccable and remarkable. I just cannot say enough. read more

My 14 year old daughter had extensive dental work last month and she needed to go under general anesthesia. The procedure costs 16, 000 dollars which I had to pay and take out a loan for before the procedure was done. On the day of the procedure, I was told she needed a crown and it was going to cost another $2,200. When I raised a raucous about that, then Blende tells me, he now sees it in the treatment plan. It became very apparent to me that Blende is more interested in money than anything else. Today, my daughter got a permanent crown placed. She was in pain and Blende told her " Dont't cry wolf" She had tears streaming down her face. She wasn't shouting or screaming. Each of us have different pain thresholds. To discard my daughter's feelings is wrong. After we walked out of the appointment, she told me what he said. I was upset and shocked that a healthcare professional would talk to a patient like this. I called the office and left a message with the answering service as we were the last appt of the day. An hour later I get a call from Blende. He left a message on my voicemail apologizing and asking me not to leave a negative yelp review. His "apology" was done only because he was worried about getting a negative yelp review. He didn't care about my daughter or her feelings. He should be more compassionate and kind to patients especially to kids. His office staff is very kind but Blende needs a lesson on how to understand that each person reacts to pain differently and not downplay, beret or belittle those patients who are expressing pain. Really recommend another dentist in SF and avoid Dr. Blende especially if you have kids that need to go under general anesthesia. Also I know dentists are not cheap, but his rates and prices are exorbitant. My daughter needed extensive dental work due to teeth overcrowding and decay and several cavities as a result but he demanded payment up front which was $16,000. I That is basically the cost of year of college tuition! read more

Referred here in 2018 due to an extreme gag reflex and a lot of dental work needing to be done. Was given a quote of $30K which my parents and I came up with and paid day of surgery. Because the surgery ended up lasting 6.5 hours rather than the 4 estimated, the first thing I woke to ( with my arm spasming, I doubt they supported it for the hours I was under) was the Office Manager, Nikki, asking my father "I have her purse, can I look for the credit card to pay the $8K balance now due?" My father took the purse and refused her. No call from their office the next day to ask how I was doing but Nikki did call to ask about their $8K due. When I asked about the comment she made about taking a card from my purse she laughed and said I must have still been out of it. Well except my father heard the same thing as he was back with me as I woke. We paid the amount due at the time of my surgery. It shouldn't be on anyone but the practice that they estimated and planned poorly to the tune of $8K extra. My requests for what exactly the extra $8K covered were not answered. I received a bill for the $8K in 2020, which I am paying $100/month so it doesn't affect my credit but I still feel it was a bait and switch job to further line their pockets. The work done was good but the bedside manner and aftercare was truly awful. And they made sure I knew 2 days post surgery (when my throat was still too swollen to take pain pills or antibiotics or drink water) their concern was getting more money out of me, not my well being. Avoid. read more

I will get to The Point if you want the best don't mess with the rest the Blendi team is well seasoned at what they do if you want superior work this is it worth every penny Pain-free and did a marvelous job Now I can go to the Led Zeppelin concert and smile read more

This entire office is phenomenal! I have been here twice for cleanings and have had my wisdom teeth extracted including work by Dr. Goodman and Dr. Blende himself. I have also brought both of my kids here for cleanings. Honestly, I am not impressed often from medical practices because they typically are run inefficiently- not this group. I was taken back on time, I interacted with several friendly receptionists, and I had a very thorough but efficient cleaning from Tanvi. I was never rushed and Dr. Blende and Tanvi spent extra time explaining the x rays and dental work particulars. This is not a pediatric practice but they were great with both my girls. Between the dentists and the hygienist, I cannot recommendation this practice enough. My only draw back which is minor is the WiFi reception was not spectacular, but they did have an IT person there at the time of my last appointment fixing their network. Thank you Blende Dental Group. read more

Blende Dental Group - General Dentistry Near Me - San Francisco, California

When loved ones have medical or dental issues, it almost always is not a good thing. After a five-star experience for another loved one, due to my relative's health condition, I was hard pressed to find someone to provide in-home dental services. Through a referral, I learned about Blende and called them in getting an appointment early this year. Because my relative hadn't been examined for the better part of two years, it was a mystery as to the extent of work that would be needed. After completing a variety of forms, answering a questionnaire about the patient, and arranging the patient's history to be provided, I was able to schedule an appointment about two weeks later on a weekday morning. Dr. Goodman and her technician (forgive me for forgetting your name) arrived promptly at the appointment time. After moving their equipment, devices, and tools to the lower portion of the house, they patiently and thoroughly examined the patient in evaluating what needed to be done. Nutshell, they needed to extract a tooth as there was some deterioration that spread onto his gums. Working under unusual circumstances, they were able to correct all of the issues and gave us thorough advice how to treat his mouth during the healing process. Kudos to Dr. Goodman and her assistant in saving the day and, in my relative's case, teeth and gums. Recently got an email from them that they are available during shelter in place. However, they require that the patient(s) pass a Covid test before they will begin work on you. read more

Four years ago, I saw David Blende for an extraction. I'm a disabled woman on a limited income. He told me I needed a bridge. He dry drilled both "healthy" "virgin" (according the the California Dental Board) to fit the bridge, resulting in the death of both teeth within months. I spent money I didn't have trying to save them. Because of the extensive damage and number of lost teeth from his negligence, I now need partial dentures at FIFTY TWO YEARS OF AGE. He was SANCTIONED by the Attorney General of CA. Check into it. I don't even have money to afford the partial dentures. I had healthy teeth when I went in. Now look. He bullied me with his attorneys so he wouldn't lose his license and never compensated me. This man is a monster. He was sanctioned, check with the Attorney General of CA and the CA Dental Board. These lost teeth are deeply embarrassing as well as the fact that I can't eat. And he put me back four years in bone health treatment. I hope there is a special place in hell for him. Oh, and if you try anything Blende, I have several people that will make the police look to you. I've also alerted attorneys. read more

Blende Dental Group - My missing teeth Blende destroyed. - General Dentistry Near Me - San Francisco, California

Excellent professional dental care, very convenient and lots of love in treating their patients. Blende Dental Group is the best for my mom's care. She's a paraplegic, so their dental team makes house calls to see her. They come with all their equipment to take X-rays, clean her teeth and even do fillings for cavities. Amazing! It's super easy to schedule appointments and they are good about confirming and rescheduling too. We have Dr. Mathai who is a pleasure to work with. She's very knowledgeable, pleasant and always has a good bedside manner. She always comes with a dental assistant and anyone who assists is always good. I highly recommend Blende Dental Care. read more

Blende Dental Group - Mom enjoying her dental care. - General Dentistry Near Me - San Francisco, California

The Blende Dental Group did a fantastic job!!! I am very happy with the care I received. Thank you to Doctor Goodman & all the staff at the The Blende Dental Group!! read more

I was told by a previous dentist that I had a minor crack in one of my back teeth. They said it wasn't anything severe and it should be monitored closely. A period of time went by and after delivering my first child I decided to be proactive and get it taken care of before my maternity leave ended and most importantly before I started experiencing any discomfort. I was referred to Blende Dental Group because I am highly sensitive to any dental work outside of a teeth cleaning and to be honest I was quite nervous and scared. Dr. Blende had a comforting manner about him, although he was a bit pompous. I was eager to get the work done and was pleased that they offered gas. Many dentists that I called did not and in the past I have not responded to novocaine alone. When he said he could start the process on the spot I said yes. Unfortunately the work that I had done has been the worst I have ever experienced. A ligajet was used to numb the tooth that needed a crown. I was quite happy that I didn't feel a thing, GREAT! I was told I would be sore for a few days, okay, no problem. The truth is I was in EXTREME pain for almost two weeks. The pain was so excruciating I was taking Tylenol every 4 hours around the clock. This went on for days. When I called the office they did invite me back, rinsed the tooth and sent me on my way. I called again and told the office I was desperate and something was not right with the temporary tooth. I even said I would pay a rush fee for the crown. No luck. At this point I was concerned for the health of my liver and all the Tylenol I was taking. The pain was so severe, worse than a C -Section! Once the crown was ready they ended up filing down one of my top teeth to adjust the bite, so now I have what feels like half a tooth on the top. I also ended up having to go somewhere else because I was having sensitivity biting down and sensitivity to hot and cold on the tooth with the crown. The dentist I found helped temporarily but here I am year later with discomfort. I haven't eaten on the right side of my mouth for practically a year. I now need a ROOT CANAL. I don't know what went wrong but I had no pain or issue with my tooth prior to coming here. I am absolutely devastated because I wanted to take care of this before it became an issue and now I have an even bigger issue. read more

This review is for just my phone conversation and inquiry with Blende Dental Group. I reached out to Blende Dental, because I was looking for someone who could help me and provide complete dental care for my son with disabilities. Many places just do the bare minimum and don't provide endodontics, or restorative work for clients with disabilities. The person I spoke with was so helpful and so confident that they could provide the care my son needed. She was very informative and did not try to rush through the discussion and was very understanding about our situation. This is a pay for service office, which means that you pay for the entire service up front at the time of service and then you would need to request any reimbursement from your insurance carrier. They were very transparent about this. Just before his appointment I got sick, so could not take him. Our pediatrician then found another option for us to explore that would utilize our insurance up front. We have since decided to go that route, but if at some point the current dentist is not able to provide/or find a resource for a treatment that our son needs, I would not hesitate to reach out to Blende Dental for a consultation. read more

Absolutely brilliant. Top notch. The entire staff is stellar. Doctor Blende has extensive experience including Beverly Hills and New York celebrity clients. He knows how to save teeth that other dentists would not. My son has Angelman Syndrome, which is on the autism spectrum, and they effectively navigated his refusals and non-verbal behavioral difficulties. Although they don't take insurance directly, they are able and willing to obtain pre-approval for Medi-Cal to cover the entire hospital fee and anesthesia, which probably saves us $10,000 to $20,000. I am beyond grateful!!! THANK YOU BLENDE GROUP! read more

Still the best in the business after being a client for 21 years. Unwavering perfection no matter the specialist I've ever encountered. Dr. Blende is unsurpassed in his knowledge, attention to detail + genuine care for all who walk through his office doors. No matter the city in the world I've ever lived in since becoming a patient, I always come back to see this team of experts. Honorable mention to Carla who I am forever in debt to after all these years of caring for me as she has + every person I have ever recommended. read more

Thank God for accidents. It was by accident that I found the Blende Group. I can say I love this place and all the staff. They are personable professional and absolute miracle workers. I wish that going to the dentist was as pleasant for others. My dentist Dr. Goodman is a rock star. She is very concerned about her patients pain level and the best dentist I've gone to in my 77 years. read more

Amazing Dental group. They make you feel beautiful, cared for, and special. From the staff at the front to the doctor. Doctor Goodman was beyond great. She was professional, charismatic, and so detail oriented. My teeth felt brand new after the cleaning. I would recommend this dental group to everyone that needs any work done. Highly recommend. read more

I hate going to the dentist but the Blende dental group makes it a lot easier for me. I have been seeing Dr Blende since 1997 always very sensitive to my needs. read more

I heard about Blende through one of their dentists, Dr. Goultas, that I personally know. The hygienists and dental assistants there are so pleasant! I definitely think being friendly in this field makes the experience more pleasant for patients (especially those who maybe dread the dentist haha). Dr. Goultas himself is very thorough, clear, and personable as well. I did meet Dr. Blende for a hot sec, and he seems like a sweet guy :) My review is short of 5 stars as there've been some hick-ups with the front desk staff. I will call-out that they were flexible with taking my payment for services a week later than planned which I very much appreciate! On that note, the day of payment I was expending ~$2,200 to be the posted payment amount. However, ~$3,000 was posted as the payment. This was news to me, and I wasn't proactive informed by their office around this new amount. The next business day, I called in myself to inquire about the ~$3,000 payment and was told it was an accident and they would refund me for the ~$800. No apology was included in these comms, which is unprofessional and lacks empathy imo. Fortunately I had the funds to cover the larger than expected transaction, but the lack of apology or empathy didn't strike me well initially. The following day, I called back to request a receipt for the payment to be emailed to me. During this call, I was informed my refund would be ~$500 (versus the initially comminuted ~$800) as they forgot to include another cleaning fee in the payment. Again, no apology or empathy was expressed with their oversight. While they've been flexible with spacing out my payment given that I know Dr. Goultas, I don't think it's acceptable to 1) not proactively communicate billing errors to the patient and 2) apologize for their oversight. With having incurred 2 billing oversights with the front desk, I will for sure keep a close eye on my billing and insurance claims with them. I hope this feedback serves as a learning opportunity for the team. Lastly, to be clear, the front desk has always been pleasant and kind in comms. I hope moving forward they can be more sensitive to conversations including large amounts of money. I struggled with whether to include 4 or 3 starts in my review, because the care there is wonderful, but the financial aspect is still important (to me, at least), and don't think it should be understated. read more

Very excellent service from hygienist to dental assistant to Dr. Blende. Friendly, competent, pain free.

WOW. WHAT A BAIT AND SWITCH PRACTICE. So back in February 2017, i went and got my xrays and teeth cleaning done by my dentist and she referred me to Dr. Blende for some simple dental procedures (I had cavities that needed to be filled) since I have anxiety with drills etc. In March 2017, I make an appointment for a consult and talk to Monica who scheduled my appointment to have Dr. Blende look over my teeth. On the phone during the time I made my appointment, I also told her I just saw my dentist and had xrays done and forwarded those to her. The day of the appointment, everything seemed great, they looked at my xrays and said they needed more pictures so they took pictures and additional xrays, told me to relax, made me feel like everything was all good. Monica walks me through the cost of the procedures after the consult and I leave with a packet and the understanding that I needed to see other dentists before making a decision because I wanted to see what my options were. Fast forward to April 2017, I actually decided to go with another dentist and I emailed Monica to let her know and she never responds. Instead, I get a $300 bill in the mail and under "description," it's just blank. Okay, so...I made an appointment for a consult and you didn't disclose there was a charge..you told me I needed MORE x-rays and pictures and didn't disclose there was a charge. We go over the actual cost of procedures and paperwork and NO MENTION OR DISCLOSURE OF THIS CHARGE and out of no where, when I decide to go with a better option for me..I get a bill!? I don't mind paying for services but I left the office with nothing done and no additional materials passed over to me. I also wasn't told upfront about any charges which, is crazy because when I went to my other options, it was either free OR they DISCLOSED UPFRONT that I'd be charged $50 WHICH I PAID because WE AGREED PRIOR. This almost feels like repercussion for not going to the Blende Dental Group and I find the fact that they're not forthcoming about costs to be incredibly shady and I'm thankful I didn't end up going with them for the services because this bills proves they would have found extra ways to charge me. I am still waiting for their office to get back to be on what these charges were for since the description literally is blank. When I called to ask why I was being charged, the representative said it could be for x-rays..I already gave you x-rays from TWO MONTHS AGO from my dentist. What an AWFUL EXPERIENCE! I would ever recommend them to anyone I know! read more

Best dental cleaning in my life!!! THANK YOU TANVI!!! I have waited far too long due to busy work schedule & Covid- embarrassed time say...1year. But now feel like a million bucks- orally speaking- Make an appointment today! You too can be tartar & calculus free...& minty fresh! :-D read more

On July 4 I cracked a molar tooth while eating dinner. My wife made an appointment with the Blende Group. I was seen on July 6 by Dr Goodman who informed me I needed a crown (but no root canal). I came in July 7 for the dental work and was seen by Dr Chau. The group has an in house dental lab. I came back on July 26 for the crown. I am very happy with my crown. Everyone in the office is very caring and professional. read more

My son is 6 years old, non-verbal with ASD. Going to the dentist has always been a challenge. We kept up with all his checkups and cleanings. But when when we were recommend he need some major work done, and be put under, due to compliance, I wasn't satisfied just going anywhere. We were going to a pediatric dentist but wasn't happy with the process and wasn't feeling 100% I went to the Blende Dental though a recommendation of my cousin. They were professional from the start. They have everything in house and explained the need, why, options, the procedure and billing. I felt assured and at ease. It wasn't cheap, but the billing is very knowledgeable and help you navigate through the insurance. They did the procedure at Kaiser in SF where we are already clients. The dentist and staff were stellar. They put our worries at ease. It was the best case senario. Nothing major. He was a little sleepy but thanks to the gentle hands of the dentist he didn't even need a Tylenol after. I would definitely recommend Blende Dental Group to any special need parent for their kids. read more

I'm one of those people that doesn't look forward to going to the dentist. haven't been in many years. the time finally came where it's something I had to do. the staff at Blender were absolutely amazing. after explaining my issues they worked with me, patiently, caring about my comfort every step of the way. 10/10 would recommend this dentist. they really do care. read more

Dr. Blende will give you the best care you can get. I have a deep fear of needles. Dr. Blende has done four crowns and a few fillings on me over the years. During each procedure, he did a wonderful job getting me though my fears of the needles as he administered. Also, their team of dental assistants echo his professionalism as they take you through the procedures. And getting your cleaning done by their hygienists is care at its highest level. I have recommended numerous friends and family to their office over the year and heard nothing but similar feedback from all. Thanks Blende Dental Group read more

Tanvi Obrock, Dental Hygienist was thorough, professional and kind as always. Been a patient of Dr. Blende for over 20 years.

We were referred to Dr. Blende because my 11-year-old son had a tooth issue that needed to be reviewed. From the moment I made the phone call to make an appointment to the moment we left their office, their service was exceptional. Elizabeth was the sedation coordinator and she was so polite on the phone and when we came to the office she came out and introduced herself. The office staff was amazing with my son who is on the ASD Dr. Blende took his time and explained everything. He even referred me to somebody else stating that the cost might be less for us. I was very impressed with everyone in the office and although I live all the way in Pleasanton would be willing to go back to San Francisco if I needed his services. Thank you very much! This was an easy visit. I felt very comfortable as I am sure my son did too. read more

I love coming here, Dr. Blende is the best. I've been coming here for over 10+ years and they have always done me right. The staff is always very friendly and polite when I come into the office, and when I have questions about certain things that I'm not sure of they are all very knowledgeable and willing to help. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who has fright of the dentist or just want a great job on simply cleaning their teeth or taking care of any pain! read more

Dr. Blende was EXTREMELY HELPFUL this evening. My mother experienced a dental emergency 12 hours prior to having to catch a flight in the early morning. Friday night, 7:00 pm... no back teeth because her bridge fell out of her mouth. After calling around, we came across the Blende Dental Group AFTER HOURS NUMBER 877-HOUSE-07 (1-877-468-7307)), and with guidance from Dr. Blende himself, we were able to fix the problem at home. He was so kind and informative, and presented us with multiple options. One option involved meeting at the office around 10 pm to perform emergency dental work and two at home solutions. Given that we are located several hours away and were working on a limited time frame, we chose one of the at home solutions with detailed instruction from Dr. Blende. He even checked in on us after we completed the steps. My mother is currently feeling much better and ready to leave for her vacation with a HUGE SMILE thanks to Dr. Blende. read more

Thank you so much one more time! Excellent service, 0 pain and great result! Highly recommend!

Dr. Blende, & the entire staff were phenomenal! I came in with severe pain, & was taken care of immediately. Coming in with no insurance, & little to my name, i was worried about being turned away..but surely enough, they were able to work out a payment plan with me, & took care of the problem right away! I had spent the last 48 hours in excruciating pain, and they relieved me of it in a very swift, professional & courteous manor. I'm Deeply grateful for their help, & would Highly recommend Anyone go to them for your dental needs. They are The best! read more

Another great experience here :) my crown fell out yesterday and they were able to squeeze me in the next day to fix that and also do a cleaning. The whole team was working together and the vibe was extremely pleasant (yes I'm describing a dental office lol) Just amazing staff and amazing teamwork, very nice ambiance! read more

5 star all the way! Woke up at 4am while on vacation with a toothache. Called the 24/7 emergency hotline. Got a call back at 6:15am and a same day appointment at 11am. Got me right in, diagnosed the problem, gave me several options and explained it all. Made my treatment decision and was finished in 1 hour. Great doctors, great staff and fast service. And I still made my dinner reservations for that evening! read more

My father suffers from late stage Alzheimer's and woke up one day suffering from a serious tooth abscess. After visiting the hospital and my typical dentist we were finally referred to Dr. Blende's office. The were able to make an appointment with fairly short notice and upon arrival it became apparent they very familiar with dealing with patients who's mental capacity is impaired. They were extremely caring and concerned. The email and phone call correspondence was consistent and prompt with Elisabeth, and even had access to an after hours Dr. for some questions when we were concerned late one night to his condition. After the initial exam they scheduled a full sedation procedure and dental surgery in collaboration with Kaiser. Dr. Blende and his team were able to extract 3 teeth and have 18 fillings done; essentially reconstructing my father's mouth in less than 3 hours while he was under sedation. Due to the stress of the entire experience they expressed the idea that this would be his last dental procedure to hopefully last the rest of his lifetime. Additionally they followed up with arranging in home services for routine cleanings and oral hygiene into the future. The service is amazing and makes dealing with a tough situation as easy as possible, especially when the patient can not express themselves personally. For those with family members suffering from Alzheimer's or dementia I can't highly stress enough how amazing Dr. Blende and his staff was. read more

Wow...fantastic service and quality. My crown came off and they saw me right away. Went to them for a second opinion and they saved me a fortune! They told me the crown was good and I did not need a new one nor need my gum laser work. Glad I went here and I will make them my new dentist! read more
