Hooray 4 Teeth - General Dentistry Near Me - Hayward, California

The dentists here are truly exceptional -- honestly, they're amazing . Even though I've moved and now have a dental office right next to my house, I still choose to drive an hour just to see them. It's rare to find dentists who are knowledgeable, kind, trustworthy, and genuinely care about your dental health. Also they never push unnecessary services, and I always feel respected and well taken care of. A special shout-out to my dental hygienist, Cristina. I see her every time, and I really admire her work ethic. She treats my teeth with the kind of precision, patience, and dedication that only someone who truly loves their craft would have. She is extremely careful, thorough, efficient, and hardworking. Every visit feels like she's giving my teeth a full "detailing"--she doesn't miss a single spot, and the results always exceed my expectations. As a perfectionist, I wish I could give them 10 stars. Thank you and happy holidays ! read more

The staff here are very friendly. My 3 kids got their first cleanings here. They were very nervous at first but the staff were amazing with the them. They were able to calm them down and now my kids like coming here! read more

Dr. Gunawan and her team took great care of my family. We could count on them for normal cleanings, fillings, crowns and even repairs of cracked teeth. She always went over the options available to help us decide on the best care needed. She and her office was also great with helping us understand our insurance. We highly recommend Hooray for Teeth. read more

Let me just start off by saying I hate going to the dentist, I literally have to pregame by meditating and drinking a camomile tea before going in! Lol My daughter and I have been coming here for a few years now and we love all the staff and Dr. Gunawan! Cristina(dental hygienist) and Dr. Gunawan are very gentle and will work with you with any procedure you need. I've chipped/cracked the same molar filling 4 times last year(pandemic stress!), and as I write this, this is the 5th time and I'm about to call the office to schedule me ASAP! Hahaha Call them, you will love her and the team! read more

First off, let me tell you the anxiety I get with going to a dentist is unreal but this dental office puts me at ease. The care they give is unmatched. The whole staff is really polite. I don't get anxious coming here. Thank you Hooray 4 Teeth. read more

I've tried a few dentists in the area before finding this gem, and I completely regret not coming here sooner! The staff always has a smile on their face, and they really feel like family. You can tell it's a happy environment to work in. Dr. G is the absolute best, you really feel like she cares about her work and her patients. She's accommodating and professional, and when I was trying vaguely to describe my tooth pain, she really listened and did every diagnostic she could. Her assistants are also fun and kind. If you're reading this, just stop and book an appointment. You won't find a better, more caring dentist! read more

I have been coming here for years. Dr. Gunawan and her staff are so caring. There is no assembly line in and out here. They really take your concerns to heart and treat you with courtesy, kindness and respect. Dr. Gunawan is an excellent dentist. She take her time and your concerns to heart. read more

This is just for initial contact, which there was none. Called on a Wednesday at 230pm and left a message hoping for a call back that day but nothing. Missed a call back at 10:05am the next morning and Immediately called back by 10:07, no answer so I left another message. It's now 2pm and no call back & I tried calling again but still no answer. I really wanted to check this place out based on reviews and location to my house but maybe they aren't looking for more patients? read more

The best, most caring and professional staff all around with quality equipment! The new location is so clean and refreshing, although the old location was kept in pretty good shape. I have been going to Dr. Gunawan for years. I remember my first visit with them, I had a cavity that had been filled by another dentist 15 years prior and it messed up the grooves in my crown. Every dentist that I saw in that 15 year period would just make comments about how I have cavities, even though I explained to them that it has been filled just very poorly. Dr. Gunawan was the first dentist to notice right off the bat that it was an odd filling and she offered to fix it for me and did it that day! I no longer have an awkward fit to my bite. I recently switched dental insurance to Medi-Cal since I changed jobs and unfortunately they don't accept Medi-Cal here. I ended up going to a dentist that accepted my new dental insurance and had an awful experience. A week later a bunch of streaks started appearing on my teeth. I went back to Dr. Gunawan and she explained that the likely reason is that dentist was too aggressive and had abrasive equipment which created large microscopic grooves in my teeth for stains to accumulate. I have never had stains on my teeth prior to that dentist. Dr. Gunawan and her team removed the stains from my teeth and re-sealed them to ward off the staining. I would gladly pay out of pocket to see Dr. Gunawan again to keep my teeth clean and healthy rather than dealing with all the awful Medi-Cal dentists who actually ruin your teeth! read more

Was looking for a dental clinic that does weekends and came across Dr. Gunawan and her staff. Super friendly and took the necessary precautions and screening during the pandemic. Great cleaning by Christina and both her and Dr. Gunawan gave me some recommendation/tips on how to keep my smile looking great! Highly recommend this clinic! read more

Our whole family comes here for dental needs. Joyce is fair, professional and one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. The entire staff is super personable and accommodating. No kidding - I would invite Joyce and her team over to our house for Christmas. In a world where small businesses and customer service seems to be disappearing, Hooray 4 Teeth comes through on all levels. We love our dentist! read more

We have been going to Dr Gunawan for the past 6 years. Our kids love Dr Gunawan. She is so gentle and patient with them, never pushy. Can't imagine a more caring and fun dentist! Thank you Dr Gunawan and her team for taking care of our family's dental needs and all the sugar bugs. read more

I am not a patient but rather a student at CSU East Bay, and I help run a student organization that does medical and dental missions in rural countries like Ghana and Honduras. I am writing this review to recognize Dr Alfonso and Joyce Navarrete's generosity. This year our school organization, Global Brigades, went to Nicaragua in June for our 9 day medical/dental mission, and since we are all students that plan for this trip, we raise everything ourselves to make our trip successful so we can provide treatment to over 900 patients. They offered to lend a hand and donated to us various items such as curing lights and an amalgamator that was beneficial for our trip. I reached out to OVER 20 dentists in the East Bay Area and Dr Alfonso and Joyce Navarette were one of the 2 dentists in the area that only offered to help us out. (Literally offices were telling me they were going to give me a call back or email me back, and I NEVER heard a word back from many of them). Because of their help, we saved hundreds of dollars and we were able to run a successful dental mission for the first time under our organization in Nicaragua. I just wanted to say thank you Dr Navarrete for your kind donation and you deserved to be recognize for all your help! read more

My wife and I originally came to Dr. Gunawan because of a special that we found online, plus we needed a new dentist having just moved from Michigan. We now have been coming to see Dr. Gunawan for 2 years for our bi-annual checkups, and I have also had one cavity filled. Honestly the entire staff is wonderful and very professional, but also friendly. There are two things in particular that I really appreciate about Dr. Gunawan: 1) she always schedules plenty of time for each appointment so that she can actually sit and talk with you about your teeth, you general health, your life, etc and 2) she takes a number of weekend appointments, so if like me it's not so easy to take time off work during the week days you can always come in on the weekends. As I mentioned, my wife and I generally only come in for our bi-annual checkups and cleanings, but the last time I came in I had a cavity (which I wasn't too excited about). Rather then making me come back at some later date to have the cavity taken care of, Dr. Gunawan had me sit back down and took care of everything right then/there. The office itself is relatively small, but all of the equipment is clean and as I mentioned the staff is very professional and friendly. I don't have much to compare this office to, but the prices also seem very reasonable. read more

Back in 2012, I was in search of a good dentist but was hesitant of pulling the trigger since there aren't many that are reliable and trustworthy. I did some investigating on Yelp and was able to find Dr. Gunawan. I saw that she had all 5 star ratings but was suspect of the reviews since there were only about 20 or so. I decided to schedule an appointment to see how the visit would be. I'm glad I did. The office staff was very welcoming and Dr. Gunawan was very thorough with my check up and cleaning. Also, her dental hygienist did a stellar job cleaning my coffee stained teeth. Fast forward four years. I have straighter and healthier teeth thanks to Dr. Gunawan and Dr. Naverrette (my apologies if I spelled your name wrong). I wish I could do them justice by giving them a higher rating but unfortunately 5 stars is all Yelp has to offer. read more

One of the best if not the best dentist I have known. Her and her husband is very compassionate dentist. They really care about me and my teeth. I wouldn't want to change my dentist ever again. The most important thing is that is pain free. I had dentist that every time they work on my teeth is always pain but not Dr. "G" Recommended to all of you that is looking for a caring, professional and compassionate dentist. read more

Looking for a dentist? Search no more! Dr. Gunawan & Dr. Navarrete's professionalism and skills really help you calm your "dentistism" jitters (a word I made up dealing fear of dentist). They're wonderful and patient and will work to perfection. Aside my bi-annual routine check-up, I got my teeth whitened and many people have complemented on how great & white my teeth look. She also worked on a bridge crown on my front teeth, since I messed them up growing up from eating too much sugar. Dr. Gunawan has worked on my messy teeth to making it beautiful. Now I feel more confident about myself and I have great teeth to thank them. They also work well in working out your finances and they do care about your health as a whole, which is not something I can say for most dentists out there. Their working hours are great, since they open on most weekends, and her office staff are always so welcoming and parking space is always a plenty (and free). read more

My beloved dentist in Alameda had to close up shop plus we had moved off the island, so the search for a new dentist commenced. Yelp! was the source of consultation and ultimately influenced my going to Dr. Gunawan. One word: AWESOMES! She is congenial, comforting, and up to the latest in dental tech. Office is cozy and friendly and they communicate via email very well, which means bonus points from me with my wacky schedule. Dr. G. efficiently swapped out my ancient amalgam fillings with composites, dealt with my crown and tender gums, and most vital, all with no pain. The post-visit goodie bags are loaded with fabu dental swag and I got a marvelous price on a sonic toothbrush. Furthermore, Dr. Navarrete gave me an orthodontic consult and recommendation for a specialist in SF, should I choose to pursue treatment closer to home. Love these two--they definitely take away a lot of the stress over dental visits. read more

I needed a checkup and found Dr. Gunawan via a google search, and yelp reviews helped me make my decision. I hadn't been to a dentist in 8 years, and I suffer from anxiety, so naturally enough I was very nervous. The receptionist is warm, friendly and very patient. She is willing to accommodate you and help with any queries you may have about billing etc. I'm sorry I can't remember your name! I'm terrible with names when I'm nervous. Dr. Gunawan is friendly, chatty and patient with you. She made sure I was numb for my fillings, even if it took 3 shots to get me there. She works so efficiently, the time flies when she is working on you. She'll offer you a squeezy ball if you need it for stress relaxation. There is a wee nurse there that I can't remember the name of, but she is so calming for nervous patients. She'll hold your hand if need be, suggests deep breathing, and calls you pet names (which I love, it makes me think they actually care about you). I'm sorry I can't remember your name, but thank you so much. I gave her a hug after we were done with the fillings. Twice. They also offer you a blanket if you're cold. Thanks very, very much to all the lovely staff that worked with me there. It's hard going back to the dentist after so long when you've had a bad experience before, but you all are so calming, patient and understanding. I have no idea about price because my husband deals with all the insurance stuff (I'm Irish, so I have little clue about how it all works), but they took my insurance no problem. Thank you again for being so patient with me read more

This review is for a FREE ortho consult I had with Dr. Navarette. This place is located in the "Majestic Pines Medical ...(something? office? building?)" I went in the parking lot and didn't even realize I was in the right place. So I exited and had to make another u-turn to go back in the parking lot. Haha. Anyway, Dr. N was super easy to talk to. He listened to everything I had to say about why I wanted to pull all my teeth out and replace them with some perfect dentures. After his little examination, he recommended solutions and explained why it would be better and why other options wouldn't work as well. I must say, it was very insightful. Like a light bulb turned on in my head and I felt smarter all of a sudden. I'm not fully committed to moving forward with the treatment, but when the time is right, I will definitely be getting it done here... Thank you Dr N for your time. PS... they're getting work done on the roof of the building so construction noise level can be a little annoying at times. read more

My husband and I have been coming here for about 6 and a half years now and have never had any complaints. I have had fillings, a deep cleaning, x-rays, and multiple cleanings here and have always left with no complaints. I even like that they both call you with an appointment reminder with a confirmation option built in AND text you as well. As someone who never answers their phone the text confirmation is great. They also generally run on time which I always had issues at with the two dentists I went to in Fremont. No complaints. read more

This is by far one of the best dentist/orthodontist that i have ever been to. The staff and both doctors are super awesome. Dr. Joyce is super friendly and does an amazing job with dental problems, in fact she fixes all of your problems. Dr. Navarrete is also an amazing doctor. Also very friendly and ver knowledgeable in braces! Everyone who reads this review should consider changing their current dental office and come to this lovely place! You wont regret it, my hubby and children both come here too so they take all ages patients. The staff is also friendly and the best thing is that they are all bilingual. I really like that they can give you appointments to fit your daily busy schedule. I really appreciated that i would get 6:00pm appointments when i wasn't able to come in earlier. And if week days wouldn't work for me, that wasn't a problem because this office is also open on weekends!!!! I know for a fact that not many places have this option. So as mentioned above come here and check it out! You will love it as much i love it!!!!! :) read more

Located in the Majestic Pines facility, is Dr. Gunawan and Dr. Navarrette's office. Dr. Gunawan works as a general dentist while husband, Dr. Navarrette, works as orthodontist. As a husband and wife team, both are very professional and courteous. They are very knowledgeable and willing to educate their patients. They make their patients very comfortable and never leave them in the dark of the procedures performed. Dr. Gunawan is especially great at having close attention to detail. I feel like she is very easy to talk to. Personally, I really love this office! The staff is great and very organized with appointment scheduling. Love it. read more

Dr G is a compassionate, professional dentist that goes above and beyond to help her patients. We have worked together for 18 months with total constantancy. read more

Love their weekend hours!! They also have a great, helpful staff that really minimize any fuss or stress. Both dentists take the time to make you feel comfortable and answer all questions completely. read more

I have gone to one dentist for at least 35 years. After I moved, I had to find a new dentist. Hooray 4 Teeth came up with good reviews on Yelp, and with good reason. I just needed a cleaning. (I have good teeth and dental hygiene) Dr. Gunawan worked with me in a very professional and trusting manner. The dental hygienist that worked on me was careful, and thorough and went over places a few times to make sure she got everything. She didn't yak at me but was quiet and concentrated on her work, which I very much appreciated. I am moving out of state next month, but if I were staying, I would definitely go back and become a regular. It was a good experience after being with one dentist for so long. I'm sorry I didn't find Hooray 4 Teeth sooner. read more

Love this place! My family and I have been coming here for more than half a decade and it's always been a great experience thanks to the dentist and staff who make that possible. They make sure your experience is the best to the point where I now look forward to getting my teeth cleaned, and don't mind the commute from Tracy because it's definitely worth it. The parking is also a plus , there's always plenty parking. read more

See all

Thanks to Dr. Gunawan for her pretty service, all her staff are so nice, make us fell like family.

Before I found that place , I'm so nervous because my daughter used to cry a lot whenever she see previous dentists. So I have to do dentist shopping. We saw three dentists in one month to do the job done . But here my daughter is happy , she likes the dentist. I don't need to worry anymore. If your kid is scare to see dentist, try that place . read more

Hooray 4 Teeth - General Dentistry Near Me - Hayward, California

Dr Gunawan has been my dentist for years! If you want a good honest dentist, she is the one! My previous experience was horrible, every time I went in for a cleaning they tried to sell me on stuff I didn't need. Dr Gunawan on the other hand is honest and doesn't try to push things that are not needed. She is also excellent with kids! Very gentle and kind. I highly recommend her. Her staff is very kind as well. Always has great customer service! read more

I fell down at work face down broke one of my front teeth among two others teeth were loosen, my medical doctor referred me to Dr. Dokhanchi, as soon as i walked into his office i sense and feel the professionalism with everyone of his staffs starting with Monica at the reception desk as i can tell that she knows what she is doing from booking an appointment to insurance claim and with paperwork , Dr. Dokhanchi is extremely professional and full of experience with his skill - top notch! i am extremely happy with my new set of crown which it look fabulous and i would recommend Dr. Dokhanchi to anyone, good job Dr. D. Liang Ang ( Allen ) read more

Pissed. I have been emailing the doctor and she scheduled me an appointment for a Sunday at 2:50pm at least 2 weeks ago. I cleared my WHOLE schedule for this day and really needed a check up for my teeth. When I arrive (currently here right now) the office is CLOSED. I have been emailing and calling but no answer. I am so pissed and disappointed I wasted my time. This is so unprofessional. WHO schedules someone on their day off? I waited forever for this appointment because I really needed it. Now I have to wait another 2 or so weeks to schedule with another dentist. Pissed. Not worth it. Don't even come here....if they will even be here. read more

Only came for the teeth whitening and Dr. Gunawan was really nice and informative. Wasn't painful during but after, every now and then, it felt like someone was giving my teeth electrical shock treatment. It's the weirdest feeling. read more

So I normally have had a great experience here. I had found this place on Yelp a couple years back and made an appointment for a general check up, because it had been a LONG time and I still want to keep all my teeth if I can. I also had a chip in one of the bottom part of my teeth that I wanted fixed. The ladies in the office were all very nice and the doctor was very informative and helpful, although she couldn't help fix my bottom tooth (long story, no big deal). So fast forward now and I call because I'm pretty sure one of my wisdom teeth was coming in. They were able to squeeze me in, thankfully on a Friday, late in the day. Sure enough, it was my wisdom teeth and that's why they're getting 2 stars. I needed to be referred to an oral surgeon, so the front desk was supposed to send me an email, that day for a referral. Never happened. I called the first time, on Monday and she was supposed to resend it. Never got it. Mind you, we confirmed my email in person and over the phone. Called again, a couple days later and had to leave a voicemail. Never got a call back. Seriously, how many times should I have to call or wait when my poor tooth is throbbing? So now, here I am, left to find another dentist because of the lack of communication they didn't provide. read more

After having been to many dentists throughout the years, probably due to my favorable disposition for sweets, and a bad tendency to be remiss about flossing regularly, this is the first dental practice where I feel compelled to share with everyone I know, and write a review for, as its a secret that is best not kept, but shared. It is with high confidence that I can say that this dental practice stands out as superior to all the others I've been to, and thus I give it my highest recommendations. It is not that close for me, but well worth the drive. What stands out most is the consistent high standard of care, professionalism, and genuine care for the patients best interest that one feels with this family practice. They helped me out when I was short on cash, too, allowed me to pay later, when other places insisted on payment upfront, and I paid much less. They seemed far more interested in treating me and getting me better, all fixed up, than making money. They found small areas that were pre-cavities, and showed me how to treat it, giving me a calcium paste, allowing it to heal itself, instead of making money putting in a filling like the other dentist wanted to do. They said it was not necessary. And they were right. They reviewed my x-rays from my former place and found my root cancel was sub-standard, and not done right. No other dental place ever told me that. They predicated a poor prognosis and high chance of failure. Again, they turned out to be right. The other dentist refunded my money so I could have it re-treated (referred to an endodonticst for the job per the standard of care), only after I wrote a letter with the documentation and help from this practice, which wanted to see things put right. I could go on, but my point is that this place is very honest, upfront, and puts YOU the patient first, not their own financial interests. Other places I always felt like I was at a business, and this aspect stood out--but not here. At this place, their business model seems to be based on the idea that growth will occur by just focusing on being good people and providing the best professional dental care, and allowing word of mouth to spread. I also believe they are very careful to do a good job the first time. They stay late and don't take short cuts, are not rushed, and I've always been pleased by the results. Lastly, the staff is super friendly and nice. Always smiling, and I never feel I ever am a bother. I can call anytime or ask any questions and they are always happy to help, reschedule me, or stay late if I can't get off work early. If you are in need of a dentist, hurry up and don't miss out on this place. It's a rare find. I am happy to drive my 45 mins to go here rather than any other place. read more

Best dentist ever! Outstanding service, friendly staff, gentle treatment. This isn't your typical dental visit. I recommend Dr. Gunawan to anyone that suffers with dental visit anxiety, this is the place for you. read more

Came here after leaving my last dentist who i was very disappointed in. My old dentist made me feel like my mouth was money to them. This place changed my mind on dentists they are honest and gentle. They get the job done right. Rather then telling me my old fillings needed to be root canaled they just refilled them. So five stars for great service, honest, gentle, and willing to work with you on payment arrangements. read more

I had the best experience today at Hooray 4 Teeth. I had a accident this weekend where I cracked my front tooth. I was frantically searching for a dentist to help me and Veronica was able to fit me in the next day. She even went through the trouble to call my transitional insurance company which is sort of a nightmare to get a hold of! The entire staff is so friendly and helpful, especially my hygienist Cristina who SAVED ME! I work in the financial district and can not show up to meetings with half a tooth. A huge thanks to everyone at Hooray 4 Teeth for saving me today and providing me with top notch service! read more

Absolutely the best! Was very accommodating with scheduling my appointments as soon as possible due to the fact that I knocked out my front two teeth and needed fillings because I was not about to walk around with two gaps. Dr. Gunawan is very gentle, caring, nice, and made me feel very comfortable during all the sessions I went to her (I chipped the fillings like 4 times afterwards). Each time, she charged me the same amount (very reasonably priced). When I finally decided to change from fillings to crowns, she even allowed me to use a previous charge for credit for the crowns. Her office is small and cozy with a spacious parkinglot. All her staff are very welcoming. I am sure I will probably go to her husband for braces, because I was told they work in the same office and he is the orthodontist there. LOVE them and recommend them to anyone who wants quick, efficient, and friendly service at really accommodating prices. read more
