Hello! We moved here about 8 months ago and started going to Select Dental with Dr. Mola. I've…read morealways struggled with dental anxiety and honestly disliked most dentists I've been to, but this office completely changed that for me. I'll probably stay here forever and recommend them to everyone. The office is clean, upscale, the fountain is my favorite, honest, and they never try to upsell unnecessary treatments. They simply take care of you. Everyone on the staff is incredibly kind, gentle, and patient, which makes a huge difference for someone like me who gets nervous about dental visits. What really stands out is how much they genuinely care about their patients. They've even given my teenage boys life advice during visits. You're not just a number here--they truly get to know you. If you ever have to wait for a specialist, it's because some travel in from out of state. I've always appreciated their transparency and patience with scheduling. In the past 8 months, I've had three fillings, a root canal (with a referral), and a completed repair with Dr. Mola. I also go in every three months for cleanings to stay on track, even though my insurance only covers two per year. The office has been helpful in explaining payments and working with me on anything not covered. Sorry for the long review, but it's an honest one. I'm truly grateful for this team. https://www.selectdentalonline.com

She's really rude, grumpy and condescending.

I found Dr. Oh on Yelp when looking for a second opinion about a pair of gum grafts. (I'd received…read morea referral, had an initial evaluation from a large periodontist office, but found the office to be over-busy and impersonal.) At my first consultation with Dr. Oh, she strongly recommended that I space the grafts out by a year instead of getting them at once, and explained the procedure and my options clearly. Gum grafts are no one's idea of a good time, but she and her staff made the process as easy as it could be. I was incredibly grateful afterward that she had steered me to doing one side at a time (it's helpful to have one side of your mouth available to chew, after all!). Recovery went well, the before-and-after pictures show a dramatic improvement, and at my last cleaning my hygienist kept commenting on how good the graft looked ("so clean!" she said). Oh, and everything was cheaper than it would've been at the other place, too. I'll be heading back next year for the second graft, knowing I'm in good hands! Dr. Oh is clear and compassionate, and her staff is friendly and helpful.

The doctor and staff were super unprofessional. I went in…read morefor a consultation, and I forgot the exact reason, but they told me they had to check something and would call me at a later to proceed. It was something like checking insurance or something that should've only taken 5 minutes to confirm, but they told me it'll take a while. After a couple days, I didn't hear from them so I gave them a call, they said "oh we haven't got around to it yet, we should be able to do it this afternoon". Didn't hear anything for the rest of the day. A couple days later, same result, "oh I'm sorry, we'll get on it soon". At that point, I just decided to get a different referral and get my work done somewhere else. This was about a month or two ago, to this day I have not heard back from them.

I came to Dr. Ching for a second periodontal opinion, on the referral of my dentist. Dr. Ching was…read morevery friendly and caring. He reviewed pictures from my dental history before coming in to examine me. Dr. Ching sat down and reviewed my medical history with me and asked what I wanted out of treatment, as this affects my treatment plan. He talked with my mom and I for 15 minutes or so giving us information and answering questions before he ever looked in my mouth. He seemed very thorough yet gentle in his examination. I felt very at ease and able to trust him, and I will be returning here for surgery next month, and may have an update at that time. UPDATE: I've had 3 surgeries now by Dr. Ching, and my high opinion of him stands. I experienced very little pain with my gum grafts. The nitrous oxide was free upon request, and he was very understanding of my laughter in the middle of the procedure. I chose not to take the antibiotics he prescribed prior to each surgery (as a precaution) and he was perfectly okay with me making that choice, rather than giving me a bad time for not following his directions as a narcissistic doctor would. He's a very caring man, and wanted me to come back for a final checkup. He asked me to bring pictures of the wedding, since it was after the fact. Caring, knowledgeable, gentle. The office staff is just as friendly. They seemingly remember anyone they talk to. My last visit he asked if I had any questions, and I asked him about proxabrushes, since the ones a previous periodontist had given me were helpful. He loaded me up with a bunch for free so I should be set for a few years, anyway (these things cost like $2-3 each at Walgreens). I definitely recommend him to anyone!

I've struggled to find a office in the Castro Valley area that I liked for the past years and was finally recommended this place. I will be coming here from now on and no longer dread my dentist appointments! I also have TMJ, and Dr. Young immediately gave me a referral to see a specialist. They are all incredibly kind. Grateful for this amazing dental office!

First impression, awful, and it was all downhill after that. I was escorted to what I thought was a very sophisticated and pricey X-ray machine, then had a vey very quick exam, and even quicker cleaning which I felt not very clean. Mind you I was charged extra because it was a "periodontal cleaning". I have insurance which is supposed to cover cleaning and X-Rays, still I paid over 200 out of pocked. I still got a bill for more money this week. I guess that based on the great Yelp reviews, they had an off day. I will be requesting my very expensive X-rays and will be back on the hunt for a new Dentist. My gosh, it is so hard to find a good place.

I might be a bit biased because I used to work here back in 2007-2009 as a dental hygienist, but…read moreDr. Chen is honest and fair. You can't really find dentists like this anymore. I've worked at a few places where I have nothing good to say besides I got a paycheck at the end of the day (except for one of them - one dentist tried to send me a paystub without the check...yeah, seriously). Anyway, I'm no longer a dental hygienist (switched career), but I come here for my dental needs and have since referred my whole family and friends here as much as I can. I've had sensitivity a lower left molar because it was hurting when I bit down for a good week, but Dr. Chen did her checks and told me it was fine and that the sensitivity would go away. Had it been another dentist, I'm sure I would have gotten a filling or a crown because that tooth is all cracked with the front of it chipped off from my grinding. It's been a few years now, that lower left molar is doing just fine! Oh, another instance, my mom was going to a low income clinic in San Leandro and the dentist wanted to either pull out the tooth (which the insurance would cover) or put a crown on it (which we would pay $2K). All I did was ask to see the xray of that tooth and the dentist (who also teaches at UCSF) freaked out and angrily told us to leave. Like I was calling out his bluff or something. He already pulled out my mom's molar the year before that, so we're thinking that he did that because my mom's insurance would only cover extractions and the tooth was probably fine. Anyway, after being turned away all of a sudden, we went straight to Dr. Chen for a second opinion and found that tooth to be perfectly fine. It turned out that it was a tooth in front of that supposedly problem molar (that the other dentist wanted to extract) that was causing pain and simply had a small cavity. Dr. Chen filled it, we paid the out of pocket fee and my mom kept her molar for chewing!

We were initially referred to SL Orthodontics over three years ago by our son's dentist because…read moresome of his teeth were not coming in well and they wanted us to consult an orthodontist. I fully expected to be told we needed braces for our son ASAP, however Dr. Huang had our business for life when he recommended waiting 12-18 months until a few more molars came in and we had a better sense of how our son's adult bite was developing. I appreciated his candor about waiting versus braces immediately and then likely having to do another round of orthodontics a few years later. He also provided a very balanced assessment of what type of braces to get, which I appreciated. Just about two years since he got braces, our graduates to a retainer today and I've been extremely happy with the process. Highly recommend.

The lady at the office checked and said YES but that I needed to front $500 and I would be refunded. i went in and saw the Dr. he also confirmed my insurance would cover it, and I should just get the top and bottom. I did it, got the retainers that 2 assistants could NOT put in my mouth and even thought they were the wrong ones, And the Dr jammed them in and said they are great, my teeth were the problem. Anyway they called 2 days later to say the insurance denied the claim. I told them they had lied to me and swindled me out of my money. The office lady said that there is NOTHING that could be done and I can call Delta insurance and get more details. Well I didn't take that, I spoke to the Doctor who ASSURED me that they would file the claim again and he was sorry I was lied to..... well it's been 10 days and crickets. No refund, no claim has even been filed, my money was just kept .... Super shady office lesson of the day: don't front any money!
