Been going to Dr. Styger for almost a decade now and still is the best dentist I've ever been to in my life. Feels more like family vs. a boring, commercial dentists office. From cleaning to x-rays to new fillings to replacing old fillings, I've had them done here. Also, he likes new technology and has the latest equipment to take care of whatever you need done. Go get your "chompers" checked by him! read more

Dr Styger and his office staff are all great, professional people. Came during covid to get a good amount of work done and Styger and his staff showed me nothing but hospitality and professionalism. read more

Fantastic service and staff - Styger, Laurie and team go above and beyond the normal call of duty to ensure you are treated well and leave with a gleaming smile on your face. Could not recommend more highly! Everyone is very personable and considerate - they make a real effort to understand how you and your family are doing, where they can help, and how they can make your experience as affordable and painless as possible. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Styger for over 16 years. He and his entire staff are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. They always make me feel comfortable and reassured. All procedures I had were done confidently and painlessly. I would definitely recommend to anyone who needs a dentist! read more

Really terrible experience with Joseph Styger. Ended up paying a lot more from my own pocket that I would have been supposed to. I just felt robbed. This is what happened: First some context. I had a tooth ache and my regular dentist being on vacation I found Mr Styger on Yelp. After reading a few positive reviews I called and ended talking with Laurie his assistant who said that I could come in the next hour. She took my information on the phone and I specifically asked if my insurance and dental plan is supported (Aetna PPO). She said it should be ok, but I insisted on being sure before I commit to take the appointment. She said she's going to check and she called me back 10 min later confirming that I would be covered. I had my appointment, which ended up in having a root canal being done. They gave me an invoice with the detail of the full procedure and the associated costs. This was supposed to be a 3 steps procedure, removing of the nerves, then a temporary fix and a crown. The first and second appointments went well, and the dentist said I can do the crown later if I want since it's the most expensive part. A few days after the 2nd appointment, the tooth ache started again, and I called to have it checked. My gum was bleeding and the aching was at the same location than when it first happened. I got Laurie, the assistant on the phone, and before continuing the conversation she said that I have an outstanding balance because the insurance company did not pay for everything, and that "it happens". The outstanding balance in question was almost $400!!! I proceed to book the appointment as I wanted to get more explanation about what the problem was. After a long conversation with Laurie where she gave me the details this is what happened: - She told me that Dr Styger is out of the network of my insurance company which means she purposely "forgot" to mention that the first time I called and pretended that it would be ok. - She said that they don't really know what insurance reimburse and they base it on experience. Having been to a few dentists they are generally super accurate when it comes to this sort of know-how. - She said she could have asked for an estimate from the insurance company, but never mentioned it the first time, although I mentioned that my budget is very limited and I can't even afford the crown for now. I went on with my appointment for the tooth ache that was still there and Mr Styger without even examining the culprit tooth concluded that I should get my wisdom tooth removed. to which I obviously said no. He then left wishing me an Happy New Year with a grin. I left, paying my outstanding balance and feeling being victim of a thief. Long story short: Avoid going to Joseph C Styger. read more

So, starting your day with getting 4 fillings is just not fun - but, Dr. Styger and his team made it a totally easy, comfortable experience. I definitely recommend people going to Dr. Styger for anything from a teeth cleaning to serious dental surgery. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Styger and the hygienists he works with. They are all so sweet and helpful, and the doctor tells you every step of the procedure he is performing as he does it. It's very soothing and inspires confidence. His equipment is all very state-of-the-art. I am totally broke and they helped me come up with a payment plan for my root canal...for me to have spent 1200 bucks and still rave like this is saying quite a lot! Dr. Styger is the best. Also he looks like Santa Claus. read more

I've had two appointments with Dr Styger; a cleaning/general exam after several years of lapsed dental care, and then I came back for a small chip repair and a filling. Hands down my best dental experience- zero wait, extremely pleasant and efficient staff, Dr Styger is prompt, cheerful, great bedside manner explaining everything he was doing, and he's very good at distracting you for the anxious moments. It was super easy to schedule appointments, and I got a follow up call from him the day after my filling and chip fix to see how it was feeling. Also, they gave me movie tickets for referring my fiancé. I'm so happy to have found this place and look forward to being a regular patient. read more

OUTSTANDING! Dr. Styger is the BEST dentist I have ever seen! And thank god I saw him because apparently my other dentist lacked to inform me of that my silver fillings were cracking my teeth. While I now need a crown, I am glad to know that I am in the capable hands of Dr. Styger and his staff. They are super knowledgeable and really friendly. I had a cleaning which was painless. I had a chipped tooth that the other dentist never fixed properly and it looks AMAZING! I feel like I can finally smile again. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! read more

It is really hard for me to write such a negative review of someone that I have trusted for 7 years, but the time has come. After I started having major doubts about Dr. Styger's insistence that I was grinding my teeth at night and needed to buy a $600 mouth guard to wear every night, and after being slapped with an expensive proposed bill for three cavities, I thought it might be time for a second opinion. What I found after consulting 2 other dentists: I had no sign of teeth grinding, and it would be imprudent to work on what, according to the x-rays, did not amount to 3 cavities. The teeth grinding thing was especially interesting to me, since I never told Dr. Styger that I had any pain in my jaw or reported any other symptoms. In the past, I have also had gum surgery at his recommendation, and have been told that I need to wear invisilines. I am not trying to argue that he was trying to hard sell me on everything--he could very well be right about some items. But after the teeth grinding thing, my trust is gone. That being said, Dr. Styger's staff have been very kind and clear with me about what my insurance does and does not cover (unlike what other people have said). His assistants are also very kind and they're good at what they do. Dr. Styger is also very polite, and has excellent bedside manner. I just wish that he did not assume that I worked in tech (which in fact, he asked me while making small talk), and did not assume that I was willing and able to spend hundreds to thousands of dollars on things that I do not need. read more

Amazing staff! Fit me in for an emergency filling and never felt more taken care of! Great location and they are very transparent about the work being done and what insurance might cover. The dentist also called me to make sure everything was going ok after the procedure. Highly recommend. read more

Total utter lifesaver! I brought Dr. Styger a mess (another office had talked me into unnecessary root canals on peg lateral incisors. Why would you remove healthy tooth structure on already tiny teeth?!) and he cleaned up! He discussed all my options with me, gave me his opinion on the cost and durability or each, and never pressured me to get treatment I wasn't completely sure of. In the end, he did a Sapphire whitening (which looks AMAZING but wasn't painless. Ahh, the things we do for beauty) and two new impossible-to-detect crowns. These babies look better than the real thing! I am floored by how pleased I am with Dr. Styger's results. All his office and attendant staff are super friendly, attentive, and wonderful to deal with. I've never been so happy to pay a big bill! I highly recommend Dr. Styger! read more

I have been a patient for a 17 years and the service has always been excellent. I never have to wait to be seen even if I am a few minutes early. Front office staff are very friendly and Dr. Styger always remembers personal details and asks about general health and well-being and even family members. I have recommended this practice to several friends and they all have the same experience. read more

Get over your fear of dentists with Dr. Styger. He'll take care of your teeth with little mess and no drama.

Dr. Joe is the best dentist in the whole BayArea. He has the talent of an artist with his color matching on crowns and fillings. Gives a painless injection. He is fast so you don't get a sore jaw by keeping your mouth open for a long time. He is up to date on all the new dental procedures and materials being used. He has a friendly and warm personality. And importantly, he will work with you on your payments. read more

Whoa--shocked to see a couple really negative reviews here. I've been seeing Dr. Styger for about two and a half years, and have been absolutely satisfied. He's incredibly friendly and does good work. He will suggest optional services he thinks I might be interested in, but he's certainly not pushy about them. I did opt to get Invisalign from him, and that has been great. His staff is wonderful--courteous and friendly. They're good at managing their schedule too; I have never had to wait more than five minutes, if that. read more

my previous dentist was an asshole. he would show me pictures of diseased gums- this is what happens when you don't floss- he would bark. but here's the thing - I WAS FLOSSING PRICK. after one especially traumatizing appointment my friend at work, scooter, tells me... you don't have to live like that, go to another denist. no wiser words had ever been said to me. in comes Dr. Styger and at that first appointment you know what he said?? -you have beautiful teeth -i can tell you are a flosser i almost wept with gratitude. he and his staff are awesome and they're good at what they do too. also, if you get an appointment around christams its decked out in decorations like you wouldn't believe. like fake deer roaming the hallways- its a festive wonderland of winter. i love it!! read more

Dr Styger is an excellent dentist. A real perfectionist. Sadly, I moved out of the area so I don't see him anymore. I hate to say anything negative about his office but the people working the front desk are really pushy and borderline inappropriate. I have a job where I can't keep my phone on, so I often don't hear messages for a couple of hours, and I one time I didn't return a phone call of theirs (confirming an appointment) and they left me THREE messages, which isn't so bad but then they called my mother (who is also a patient) telling her that I wasn't returning the phone calls! They also told my mother that I had a bad cavity and it was very important that I come to my appointment. This whole interaction was so inappropriate and really turned me off to the staff. How dare they call someone else and cause a panic, but then scare my mother and tell her I needed to come to my appointment?!?! (I'm 35 years old, by the way, not 12.) Dr Styger, you are an amazing dentist. Please have a chat with your staff about such practices. read more

Dr. Styger has been my dentist for many years, and there is a great reason for that...he's the best. He will he give you clear and accurate information about your dental situation and he will guide you through your best options. Respect and professionalism are the his stock in trade and it filters down to his superb staff. They don't make many like Dr. Styger, a thorough professional and a very decent human being as well. read more

I absolutely love Dr Styger! He is the best dentist I've ever been too and his staff are amazing too!!!

Wow. What a great and gentle dentist. I love his attention to detail and he really listened to my concerns with my teeth. Loved his office staff too! read more

I love visiting Dr Styger and his staff. I have been a patient for 8 years. Lori checks what my insurance covers in advance (I've changed jobs several times), then I am able to decide what I can afford. I like sharing travel stories with Dr. Styger (between my X-rays and cleaning). I sent two friends and received a movie pass-- that was an unexpected treat. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Styger for well over a decade now. I would not go to any other dentist! He is always cheerful, welcoming, and professional (including his staff, which are simply lovely). I have had numerous dental procedures performed by him thoughout the years and have never experienced any post-procedure difficulties. His work is meticulous and the outcomes have always been above my expectations. I have referred several family members and friends to him, all of whom have raved about how wonderful he was. In fact, my little brother received a set of veneers by Dr. Styger. The results were fabulous!! read more

Have been going to Dr. Styger for many years now. I used to be afraid of the dentist. He has changed the way I feel about going to the dentist. He listens, makes you feel cared for and at ease. He is a great dentist. So thankful for him. read more

Dr. Styger is the reason I was able to conquer my fear of the dental chair. He promised that the shots I was about to receive would be painless as would be the entire procedure. To my astonishment it was all true. Because of Dr Styger's talent and technique I was subsequently able to maintain healthy gums and teeth. I now go to the dentist and have no fear. You will never regret making an appointment with his office. I cannot recommend Dr. Styger highly enough!! John Timothy Nolan read more

I had work done in Costa Rica. After a horrible experience with a dentist in Brentwood,, I tried Dr. Styger. A crown needed adjusting. Thank you for fitting me in so quickly and treating me with respect. The professionalism of all in the office is also appreciated. I gave 4 stars only because it was my first visit. read more

Dr. Styger and his staff are incredibly friendly and easy to work with. Also, Dr. Styger is very knowledgeable about dental work, and shares lots of information with patients. Plus, takes Delta Dental insurance. read more

I was first introduced to Dr. Styger when I had an exposed root on a molar. He took care of it in a jiffy. It's a good thing I don't have a phobia for a dentist, and they can do anything to my mouth ... drill, pull, whatever. Just give me Novocaine, and I am fine. I had my wisdom teeth pulled, and granted, they were not impacted or anything, and I was out of there in maybe an hour or less. Didn't even need the vicoden he prescribed. And NO .. I don't have any left! Threw it all away. I tried one pill, it didn't really do anything for me, so I stuck to Advil if I had to. He has had a few really good, and very attractive hygenists to clean my teerh, which makes it easier! A very small office ensures on time appointments, which last I recall are only Monday - Thursday. He takes most insurance. I was afraid for a while when my company's policy was switching to some junk called PMI. I am glad I allowed to stay on Delta Dental. Very comfortable surroundings makes you at ease. read more

Dr. Joe, as I affectionately call him, is an incredible, professional dentist and a wonderful human being. He has literally "saved" me more times than I care to remember. Several Sundays, a Friday night,....a tooth has gone bad and the pain was unbearable...no hesitation, Dr. Joe was there. His skill and knowledge is the best. His bedside manner can't be beat. His has been my dentist for over 15 years, and I don't know what I would have done without him. I trust him implicitly...everyone should be so lucky as to have such a talented and wonderful professional to care for them!! read more

When I went to Dr. Joe Styger I had some serious problems in my mouth. Dr. Styger planned out a way in which all the work could be done in just over a year. In this way, I was able to tap into my Delta Dental Premier coverage, and it cost me the minimum amount of money. Dr. Styger performed procedure after procedure in a painless fashion. This dentist uses a number of advanced techniques that makes his work more reliable with the best outcomes. You can not do better than Dr. Styger! He is a great dentist. read more

THE BEST dentist and office in the city. I can't speak highly enough about Dr. Styger and the folks who work with him. Dr. Styger is gentle and kind. He cares about each of his patients and it truly shows. The office has one of the most beautiful views in the city and going there makes something that could be a potentially unpleasant- very comfortable. If you're looking for a dentist- look no further. Dr. Styger is a true gem. read more

PAINLESS dentistry, incredible skill and professionalism, an exceptionally clean, wel lit office, in a medical/dental building with convenient parking... Add an outstanding and customer-focused staff and you've just started to describe the practice of Joseph S. Styger, DDS. He could teach painless dentistry techniques at any dental school in the world. He told me that the root canal he did, to save one of my back teeth was, "the most difficult he'd ever done," and I didn't feel a thing!!! His website, http://smilesbydrstyger.com/ lists the many other comprehensive services offered. His office manager can set you up with interest-free financing through Care Credit. By any measure that I can determine, Dr Styger stands head and shoulders above any of the dozens of dentists who have worked in my mouth over the past 60 years... I would highly recommend his services to anyone and everyone in need of dental services... Jay O. read more

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Styger since 2001, and we're both big fans of his practice. Dr. Styger himself is really friendly and easy to talk with. His staff are always top notch and seem very comfortable working with insurance companies. I've probably been there 25 times over the years, and I'd say 23 of those I was seen on time and 2 times I maybe had to wait 5 minutes. In other words - both Dr. Styger and his hygienists are always super considerate about my time, and I love that. Equipment is very up to date, office atmosphere is clean and orderly, and parking around the corner at the parking garage is super easy. We've happily recommended Dr. Styger to friends. read more

Still the best! I wish the photos they post would include Victoria! She is a gem and Lorrie is always so professional, competent, helpful and both ladies have lovely smiles! That's definitely what I want to see at my dentist's office! Dr. Styger is THE OG; the real deal. I love him and his office and am always happy to get my teeth done. Thanks to you all; you are a great team! read more

Dr. Styger is the most quality dentist I've ever been to or heard of. He is as meticulous (a complete and total perfectionist) with your mouth as if he were working on his own mouth. A really really beautiful dentist. Still have to go 450 miles to see him, but worth it. read more
