I don't know what I can say that hasn't already been said! The best dental care I have ever received. The most current equipment; not at all arrogant, or redundant, he spent time discussing options and the hours the work could be done, he did the dirty work himself,. A very skilled, great diagnostic skill, a friendly office and assistant, no waiting, on time, on schedule. I want to cut and paste all the other comments to express how good he is. Best crown ever made, on sight, in less than three hours - no pain, went straight to work after. If only I could find other medical docs like Denys. Outstanding. read more

Thank you Dr. Kovalchuk! I practically fall asleep in his chair, he's that gentle. His office is clean and aesthetically calm with simple air plants, and a stellar view of beautiful marshlands. I've been taking my son here for the past three years, and he agrees with me, Dr. Kovalchuk is the best! read more

First visit and I was impressed. Friendly staff, nice view from the chair, good music, no judgement on the lack of daily flossing, no attempted upsale (Invisalign etc)... read more

I'm way overdue in giving a review here and having just had an appmt today, thought I'd give my what for... Denys bought the practice from my former dentist Evan Disick, so I figured I'd at least give him a shot. Good move. Great dentist, outstanding work, nice guy. I've had a couple crowns, plus regular check-ups/cleanings. He explains what he's seeing (or not seeing), believes in painless dentistry, has the most modern technology and equipment, he's relaxed/chill, and has great office where you can look out on the water while in the chair (dentist, not electric). I should mention that I found out today that my dental insurer denied my legit claims (I know, shocking) and decided not to cover the crowns after Denys submitted the case for each. Denys will re-submit and appeal, I told his assistant I'd pay the balance and we'll see how it turns out. She mentioned Denys was going to lop 30% off my balance, which was very cool. And if you haven't guessed, his hygienist/assistant (apologies, name escapes me) is also nice, friendly, professional, easy going. 5 stars all around. read more

Great experience so far.. I have been going to him for almost a year..I had not seen a dentist for a very long time, too embarrassed to state how long.. but Dr. Kovalchuk and his assistants were gentle and non-judgmental. Very thorough with the exams and teeth cleaning. As for the previous review regarding customer service and receptionist- I found her to be welcoming, cheerful and professional. Everyone appears to be bubbly, energetic and happy to be there. read more

I have to agree with all the other reviews here. Dr. Kovalchuk is the best. If you take a step back and think about dentistry, it involves making an extremely terrible, nerve-racking, downright scary situation tolerable. Bedside manner is a huge part of dentistry, and Dr. Kovalchuk is a natural. He's not acting; he really is a nice, caring person. He makes sure you are comfortable and does not talk down to you. He doesn't belittle you if you have a low pain threshold. In addition, he's very talented and really does nice work. Not the cheapest dentist in the world, but the value I have gotten from Dr. Kovalchuk and his awesome staff has paid for itself 1000x over already. After a long, painful experience with trying other dentists out, I've finally found my dentist. read more

I came here to echo what all of the other reviews say! Dr. Kovalchuk is gentle with my teeth and his staff are friendly and super informative of their process!! I am happy to have found my dentist. :) read more

Dr. Kovalchuk and his team were all terrific. Super gentle with the scary tools, and didn't give me the usual guilt trip about flossing. The receptionist was very efficient with handling my insurance and the Dental Assistant told me everything she was about to do. Plus, there's a lovely view out onto the bay! read more

Our teenage son's orthodontist recommended that we see Dr. Kovalchuk to build up a baby canine tooth (he doesn't have a permanent tooth to replace it) so that his smile would look even. When our orthodontist called him a "bonding god," we figured it was hyperbole. But, after seeing the results, our orthodontist wasn't exaggerating! The tooth Dr. Kovalchuk made for him is indistinguishable from a real tooth! We couldn't stop smiling and remarking on how incredible it is. It was a real boost for my son's self image. Dr. Kovalchuk took time to evaluate him, used a mold of my son's teeth to get the tooth just right before we came in, and took considerable time bonding the tooth so that everything about it is perfect--color, shape, polish, everything. We couldn't be more pleased. As an added bonus, Dr. Kovalchuk is lovely to work with--professional, personable, and kind, and his office staff is wonderful as well. We couldn't be happier! read more

Denys Kovalchuk, DDS - Bet you can't guess which canine tooth is fake! - General Dentistry Near Me - Mill Valley, California

I am so happy that I have found this dental practice. Dr. Kovalchuk is very professional, skilled, knowledgeable, kind and calm. Not to mention, the office us peaceful and offers a great view of Mt. Tam right from the dental chair. The hygienist was also very skilled and knowledgeable and taught me a lot about how to care better for my teeth. The receptionist had been very helpful and accommodating. She dealt with my insurance and makes it easy for me...Not to mention, she is very friendly. This is an exceptional practice...highly recommend! read more

Caroline cleaned my teeth today. She was professional, neat, and friendly. Helen, at the front desk, was courteous and proficient. Dr. Kovalchuk checked me out to complete the experience. I love this dental office staff. Dr. Kovalchuk is the best. read more

New receptionist! The other one was a little rough around the edges, however, I got along with her just fine. Another wonderful, non-stressful experience with both of Dr. Denys's assistants. Dr. Denys is so kind and has a soft approach with children. Everyone were excellent with my 3 and 5 year (almost 6) and I felt the warmth of the office through and through. Highly recommend this dentist office! read more

So this is my second review for Dr Kovalchuk. Last night I bit on an unpopped popcorn kernel and, you guessed it, I cracked part of my molar off. I called this morning (Friday) to make an appointment and found that they are closed on Friday. But wait, what's this? His personal cell phone listed in the voice mail?? I called, he came, patched me up all by himself and now I can go on my trip to Morocco early next week and not have to see a Moroccan dentist. They might be good, but they're not as good as Dr. K. Thanks, Doc!! read more

Dr Kovalchuk is a complete pro. Great guy, calm, and a perfectionist. I had some (really) old massive molar fillings replaced with crowns. He literally makes the crowns onsite; no coming back in two weeks. Fit perfectly, felt completely normal in less than 24 hours, no pain... His staff is great, friendly. He has a beautiful office, right on the water in Mill Valley. Highly recommend. read more

I have seen Dr Kovalchuk several times now for dental work. After a bad experience in Santa Cruz, he really offered a different kind of experience. His manner is kind, gentle, and patient. I have a lot of difficulty with shots (yes, I know I'm not alone), and tend to need a lot of anesthesia. He helped me feel relaxed and calm and, his method of giving the shots was the closest to painless I have experienced. When asked him how his shots felt so different from the others, he was very humble and just shrugged and said, maybe it has something to do with the fact that he has studied Alexander Technique. Wow, I was really blown away to not only find a technically proficient dentist with a comfortable office, but also someone who explores health and medicine and body awareness and incorporates it into his domain of expertise. read more

Excellent dentist and big kudos to his hygienist, Elizabeth. Regular exams and cleaning are very high quality. Also, his recommendations for work are honest and he does great work. read more

CALM, GENTLE, AND SKILLED My family moved from SF three years ago, and after trying two or three different dentists, we have now all finally and happily settled on Dr. Kovalchuk. He is from Ukraine, where he originally trained, but he since retrained here in the States. So have no fears: he is absolutely up on the latest and greatest practices and materials. Furthermore, his English is perfect, and his receptionist is also very pleasant and efficient. I've not yet had to have any fillings done [I'm not complaining!] but my family report that his work is skilled, gentle, and pain-free. The surprise bonus is that while the office at first appears to be buried in a soulless hive of random businesses, once you sit down in the dentist chair, you find yourself looking out (at ground level) directly over a very attractive water view, facing the hills of Mill Valley. Bottom line, I recommend Dr. Kovalchuk without reservation. read more

Thank You so much Doc. I had a great visit starting off with chill music and views of the bay to not even feeling my shots for a filling. As funny as this sounds, but I was actually falling asleep during my deep cleaning. I'll never be scared of a dentist again. Thanks again for the best dentist visit of my life. read more

Great experience with Dr Kovalchuk. He takes things slowly and explains as he goes. It was the best cleaning and checkup I've had in years!

I have been to more than a few dentists in my life and was very impressed with Dr. Kovalchuk. We was meticulous in cleaning my teeth and when it came to drilling a filling- I literally barely felt the novacaine shot. He is gentle and concise. read more

I came to Dr. Kovalchuk to have a filling on my front tooth repaired. I chipped it last year, had it repaired twice by someone else, and was not happy. I felt very self-conscious about my smile and was uncomfortable smiling. That's not fun! After reading all of the great reviews about his attention to detail, skillI, and thoughtfulness I made an appointment for a consultation. He calmly listened to all of my concerns and talked through how he could help me. I went in today to get it fixed and he did an amazing job!!! The color match and blending to match my natural tooth texture are wonderful. He is a talented guy! I also like his peaceful nature. To top it off, his support staff are all so nice, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Thank you! read more

Excellent results, excellent service, skilled dentist. I'm picky as hell with my dentist and was literally flying down to LA to see my dentist for over a decade, unfortunately he retired early so I had to find a new one. I'm so glad to have found Dr Kovalchuk! He is a perfectionist, which is what you want in a dentist, and extremely skilled. I recommend him to all. read more

Receptionist very rude, she would not answer my questions, and does not reply to emails. dentist has odd behavior!

Another great experience at this office. I am impressed with the kind, super knowledgeable staff and latest technology. Lots of time with Dr. Kovalchuk even for a cleaning. As an older patient, I am grateful for the extra attention to keeping my teeth and gums at their best. This group is the best! read more

I have been going to see Dr. Denys Kovalchuk since I relocated to the USA in 2015. So far i've been super happy with the service and really appreciate his wonderful staff, Ashley and Kristen, who are so helpful and accommodating. Location-wise they're so easy to reach just off the 101 with plenty of parking. Great views from your chair as they're located off the water. The main procedures I've had are night guard fittings, teeth cleaning and a few fillings. All of which have been attended to with the highest amount of care possible. I have been so happy i've now sent my husband there for his dental work. Highly recommended! read more

Another great experience - had my second cleaning today. Such a beautiful office, very friendly staff, Kristen at Reception is always cheerful. Caroline did a fabulous job taking X-Rays and cleaning my teeth, she was very gentle and thorough. They have all the latest equipment. I've been going to the same dentist in SF for 30 years.......and finally decided I wanted to find a dentist in Marin, but I was nervous about changing after all these years. As soon as I met Dr. Kovalchuk I found him to be caring, very pleasant and he explained my options with respect to some old discolored fillings I had (no up selling at all). I have scheduled my appt. to have the old fillings replaced and I'm actually looking forward to have Dr. Kovalchuk do the work!! This is a delightful practice......and it's clear they all take a lot of pride in their work. So happy I found them!! read more

Been going to him for over a year and he is the best dentist I have ever had. Very accommodating and willing to work with my schedule and will let me come in as late as 6:30. Never had any pain and my teeth have never been healthier. read more

We have been seeing Dr. Kovalchuk for several years now, and I highly recommend his practice! Office is clean and updated, staff is efficient and friendly, and I never wait longer than 5 minutes for my appointment. Dr. Kovalchuk is super patient and gentle with me through cleanings, (I have sensitive teeth), and has all the latest equipment. Check them out! read more

Dr. Kovalchuk is a very good dentist. He is very gentle. I dread shots, however, he has a way of giving you a shot without it hurting. I am amazed every time he has to give me a shot. I am still thankful that it is not very often. read more

Wonderful, talented dentist, gentle and smart. Most people will tell you their dentist is a good one. They can't all be. I've had 6 dentists in 12 years, I'm not finicky but I like quality people and quality work where my health is concerned. Dr. Denys I found here on Y elp, and didn't give the five stars I read about too much credibility because I had not experienced him personally. But after three visits, I can say he's bright, concerned, great hands, and willing to tell you what's going on in your mouth without taking much time or being distracted. Best dentist I've ever had. Recommended unqualifiedly. read more

Dr. Kovalchuk is an amazing dentist, maybe the best I've ever seen. Super knowledgeable, gentle and calm, he and his staff provide a first rate experience. Great people... Nice office and view too! read more

My dentist of 25 years just retired, so I did some Yelp research to find a replacement. Dr. Kovalchuk has the most positive reviews here (85 at the time, not sure what happened to them), so I decided to give him a try. Nice office, nice staff (Helen is very kind and friendly), very professional doctor. He is not a chatty type, so not much joking or talking going on when you are in the chair. That's fine with me, but might make some nervous-kind patients uncomfortable and anxious. His numbing injections are nearly painless, and he definitely takes his time when working on your teeth. No scare tactics, no up-selling, just down to the point with what needs to be done. I actually wish he would be more forthcoming and "pushy" with stuff he thinks you should address-- otherwise you have to be proactive and advocate for yourself. His prices are similar to other Marin dentists'. His office is busy ( even with 3 hygienists on staff), so it might take a few weeks to get an appointment for a cleaning or non-emergent stuff. As a new patient, I had to wait just 10 days to see him. In my opinion, a busy office is a good sign-- clearly a lot of people like this dentist! read more

I have had some terrible experiences with dentists in the past and have to say that Dr. Denys is simply awesome! Not only is he friendly and welcoming (and remembers who you are), but he's thorough, walks you through everything, is patient and does a great job to boot! I trust him - which is saying a lot for me with dentists - and would highly recommend him to anyone! read more

I avoided going to the dentist for 3 years because it always caused me pain. Since it had been so long, I not only needed routine cleaning, but scaling /root planing too - the idea of which filled me with more than a little dread. But Dr. Kovalchuk made it a pain-free experience, he numbed me to the point that I didn't feel a thing - not even the shots! He is extremely thorough and his very calm, professional manner also put me at ease. Although a new patient, there's no doubt in my mind that I have found "my dentist." I know all too well how challenging it can be to find a good one, so this motivated me to finally write my first Yelp review. (I've used Yelp a lot, so its about time that I start contributing, and now that I've started, it definitely won't be my last...) read more

I had put off getting a crown for a long time. Dr. Kovalchuk was flexible and patient with me as I waited to make an appointment. I finally had the work done last week and it turned out great. Now I wish I had done it sooner! He was very professional, put me at ease, explained everything that he was doing, and did an excellent job. I needed a small filling, too, and the experience with the crown was so positive that I didn't hesitate to have him do that work right away, as well. Ashley did a great job, too. Despite the normal challenge of being in the dentist chair for a long time and having procedures like that done, it was painless, and I immediately experienced improvements associated with the crown. Thank you, Dr. Kovalchuk! read more

Fantastic office and staff! Very friendly and welcoming. The staff and Dr. Kolvachuk were very gentile and careful with my teeth cleaning and x-rays. They have advanced technology that makes the process quick and painless. Dr. Kovalchuk also didn't push any unnecessary procedures or options, as some dentists and offices can. Highly recommended! read more

In the past, I came across dentists that did poor jobs that warranted further action down the line. Or I would walk away from the appointment feeling cheated, like someone (either the dentist or the dental hygienist) cut corners somehow, or didn't do as thorough a job as they could have. Well, I am so happy to say that my visits with Dr. Kovalchuk had me walking away feeling safe and satisfied. He is extremely down to earth and patient. He has a very calming demeanor , which is what you need in a dentist. He is very careful and exacting and explains things so you are not wondering what is going on. Although it is just him and usually one dental assistant, I am totally fine with that! He was the one who did my last cleaning and he is very hands on, even doing some of the front office activities. I think that builds the dr/patient relationship even more. I highly recommend him. read more

I have to absolutely agree with all the other reviews!! I just saw Dr. Kovalchuk today for a long-overdue cleaning and it was easy and painless! Also I had to bring my 3 year old daughter with me, and all the staff there were just wonderful with her. Jojo even gave my little one a fun pink glove balloon to play with.....so sweet. read more

I am one of those big wimps when it comes to going to the dentist. I had some horrible work done by dentist in the city. Dr. Kovalchuk was great! Very conscientious about pain management - proactively made sure I was not in any pain. Did an awesome job on a same day crown. All round wonderful. My wife remarked when i got home that she couldn't even tell which tooth the crown was - a mark of excellent color matching. read more

Dr. Kovalchuk and his staff are fantastic! I've had several cleanings so far and always appreciate how calm, informative and thorough Dr. Kovalchuk is. I recently decided to indulge in a whitening for my wedding and was a little apprehensive about the process, but true to form Dr. Kolvalchuk's explanation and demeanor eased my anxieties. And my teeth look better than ever! read more
