The chickens in the parking lot are quite entertaining for kids waiting to be seen
Gnaz A.

To any parent who wants to jump start their kids in their journey of dental health: don't look any further! I never ever in my whole life imagined taking a couple of 3 and 5 yr old kids to dentist could be this easy and this fun. Dr B and his team are superb. The whole experience from the parking garage to the waiting room, to the actual dental work to the presents and coming out is just so fun that as soon as we get back to the car my kids are asking when we will come back????!!! If your kids are anything like mine, they're not good at waiting in the car to be called in or sitting still in the waiting room. No need to worry and bring a luggage full of toys, they've gotten taken care of that.The chickens in the parking lot and the fish tank in the waiting room are guaranteed to keep the kiddos so mesmerized that I had no problem getting there 15 minutes early and let them enjoy. Then comes the admission, all in a mini laptop in the lobby, pre-loaded and easy to check in. And the most important part, the actual dental work. I can't tell you enough about how friendly and kid the staff is, in greeting the kids and clearly explaining to them exactly what to expect. Then offering the menu...yes there is a menu! From which they can choose both flavor of toothpaste as well as the flavor of the vitamin after cleaning! The kids LOVE the menu and that they can make choices. Genius! And then of course the after dental work presents from. The balloon and the sugarless candy and the toys... Dr B and his crew have made this experience so well that I'm sure my kids are so well set up to successfully and pleasantly take care of their teeth throughout the rest of their lives AND enjoy it at the same time. I'm forever thankful to have found Dr B and his team. Keep up the great work.

Goldilocks, this chair is waaaay too big for you!

His gentle, friendly manner and genuine care for kids are immediately obvious. He takes the time to explain everything in a way that's easy to understand, and he always makes sure my child feels comfortable and involved during the entire appointment. What really stands out about Dr. Pang is his ability to connect with children. My daughter used to be nervous about going to the dentist, but now she actually looks forward to her visits! The office is clean, welcoming, and designed with kids in mind--it feels more like a fun space than a medical office. Dr. Pang doesn't rush through appointments, and you can tell he truly loves what he does. He's patient, professional, and always goes the extra mile to make sure your child receives the best care possible. Dr. Pang not only remembered us but also asked about our trip, making the experience feel especially warm and personable. If you're looking for a pediatric dentist who combines skill, compassion, and a genuine love for children--look no further. We can't recommend Dr. Pang highly enough!

I really appreciate how efficient and thorough the staff is when scheduling appointments and during our visits. They are so well staffed that things work like a well oiled machine. One of the best things is being able to get appointments after school so that I don't have to take any time off to get my kids here. At our old dental office, only morning appointments were available and it was super inconvenient for working parents. Want to give a special shout out to our dental hygienist Kevin who did a great job today and our orthodontist Dr. Janice! I'll always recommend SVPD!

Our hygienist was amazing - she was attentive, listened carefully, made notes and then not only did she listen well, but she conveyed the information to Dr. Nancy and Dr. Nancy came in having read my input form/listening to the hygienist. Might not sound like a big deal, but for the first time I felt like I had a true partner in my child's care, much like his pediatrician. I felt heard, I felt supported and then she carefully went through his mouth and we talked through treatment options of what made sense. She also answered all of my questions. Front desk came with a complete explanation of what was covered/not - everything was clear, in writing, and was able to click a button that said proceed! Another incredible service - once you agree to your treatment plan, you get an email with the PDF that not only shows what you agreed to but the actual teeth impacted. I know this seems silly but I have never seen the actual tooth number/letter up until now for my child and he is age 8. The building is a bit odd looking from the outside, but the office is bright and fresh and welcoming! We are absolutely thrilled to have found this dentist and looking forward to our next visit!

I'm so grateful for their patience and understanding. Thank you to every single staff member for making this visit such a positive one. I highly recommend this place for kids, especially those who have dental anxiety. Truly a wonderful team!

The "bill" never provided an explanation as to what exactly they were for. I asked for an itemized bill, in which they could not produce for months. It wasn't until August that someone called me back to tell me verbally what the charges were (x rays that I didn't know my child took), but still nothing on paper and I received a notification every month about my outstanding mysterious balance. In early Nov, they finally produced an itemized bill that I have attached. I'm still not sure why under 3 years old oral evaluation isn't covered by my insurance, but that's what I was told. I paid the statement balance and today, 12/5, I receive yet another notice that I owe $7. There was no explanation, but comparing the two statements, which I have included here, it seems they randomly changed some charges and even added a charge. This is fraud because the last six months they have sent me a different bill this whole time and now all of a sudden after I paid they decided to change the charges with no explanation? It is also harassment to continue to email someone without providing any explanation for the charges. It's their responsibility to make sure the charges are correct and it seems they're just arbitrary at this point. Stay away from this incompetent business.

Absolutely gaslit by a severely misinformed dentist at this office. I went in with a…read morewell-researched plan for my very challenging child that I was hoping to have an open discussion about and instead was gaslit and repeatedly having to defend my stance. 1. Glass ionomer is absolutely a viable option for a tooth with no enamel (as my child has) as a preventative measure/temporary solution, three dentists later and all the ChatGPT and Gemini data I can consume, I was right. It was literally designed to adhere to challenging teeth situations, including my child's, a no enamel tooth (which is actually quite rare, so there probably is some enamel present) and in his case, one that has not fully erupted. The chemical reaction that takes place does not need "hooks" to bond - it literally is an acid-base reaction to either enamel OR dentin creating a true chemical bond and thus a seal to temporarily protect said tooth. Both enamel and dentin contain hydroxyapatite - the key player is Calcium. The polyacrylic acid has negatively charged carboxyl groups that can chelate to calcium ions. So when GIC is placed on the tooth (regardless of whether it is dentin or enamel), the acid conditions the surface, some calcium is available on the surface and the polyacralate chains form ionic bonds with surfac calcium and you get a chemical adhesion layer. Only difference is that with dentin, mineral density is lower, more organic matrix present and more moisture - so while it is a lesser bond, it still absolutely chemically bonds and would give the tooth some protection while we wait for it to fully erupt, for him to mature and hopefully continue work through his gag reflex. Basically buy time. Chemistry was my favorite class. 2. When I say no stainless steel cap or amalgam - I MEAN NO STAINLESS STEAL - and you are also WRONG if you think they do not contain nickel. Nickel is literally the ingredient needed to allow dentists to FORM the cap. It's not for you then to debate me for 10 minutes. I do not want the added release of Nickel into his system, a metal his father has a KNOWN ALLERGY TO. My child already has brain inflammation - I do not need to increase his load. Instead of listening, I was questioned multiple times about "how allergic my husband really is" or my favorite "all my other PANS/PANDAS patients are fine with the stainless steal". DO NOT CARE. Until you hold your child while he is convulsing himself to sleep because his brain is inflamed and his motor tics are out of control, you don't get to push your narrative. I am telling you as his parent what I need from you. Don't gaslight me into something because it is easier and cheaper for you. The rest of the office, awesome - great hygienists, awesome front desk - so sweet, great with kids. If you have a kid with no issues and just regular checkups, probably fine. But if you have a unique situation that requires thoughtful consideration with knowledgeable dentist, I would NEVER take my child back here. He deserves better care and as a parent, I have standards = a dentist who doesn't gaslight and understands the very basics of the treatments they are responsible for giving.

She is four years old now and is very comfortable 'going to the dentist'. The office is warm, big prop trees divide the space between the office and the waiting room. There are enough books to keep a small classroom entertained and my daughter felt catered to. The dental hygienist was so kind and offered me a spot to sit to watch my daughter. She asked if they could do X-rays which I agreed to. They were careful to explain how the teeth would eventually push through and at what angles. My daughter was busy watching a movie with provided headphones, so none of the procedures seemed to bother her. After her cleaning, she got to choose a prize and enter into a drawing to win a bicycle. All very exciting to a four year old. She'll look forward to more of the excitement. I had to email their front staff to fill out a form for her TK registration earlier this summer and they replied within four hours of my request. I was impressed with their response time and as a busy mom, I am grateful for the help!

We've brought our oldest son here since he was one and have had a pleasant experience for the most…read morepart - the staff is really nice and great with kids. We first started at a location in Sunnyvale and then moved here when that location closed down. They're pros at soothing kids to get through their cleaning appointments, and handle big feelings with patience. However, today, to be honest, our 5.5 year old son has not been consistent with flossing and we haven't been enforcing it for a number of reasons. X-rays showed that the enamel on his teeth was starting to come off of his top rear molars and the dentist we saw stated her concern about cavities forming, and recommended preventive care with applying silver diamine fluoride. I've had fluoride treatments after cleaning all the time and didn't think twice to consider this is different from what I've had applied after flossing by hygienists I've seen. What a foolish mistake. I should have not trusted this dentist's advice and asked for alternative options, and that would have also spared me from a rather unpleasant conversation with my spouse. Silver diamine fluoride leaves a PERMANENT BLACK STAIN on teeth once applied. Let me repeat, the effect is PERMANENT and forms within 24-48 hours after application. BE WARNED. This was NOT mentioned verbally by the staff. I was handed a clipboard to sign off on it for insurance purposes and probably to ensure they're not liable if we're not happy with the results, and they just ushered my son through this step like cattle, and did not pause to explain the main bullets on what this would do. They also ask you TO REFRAIN FROM USING YOUR PHONE, which makes sense, as we should be paying attention to what is happening to our kids. So how am I supposed to give my full attention to my son while he's being treated, and research what this treatment is at the same time? The information pamphlet was handled in the middle of the chaos and the details about the staining is on the SECOND PAGE. They're short staffed and have one dentist working and have to plow a flurry of kids through. Not great. Again, I'm responsible for this, but what are these kids to them? Just an avenue for revenue to get a quick cash grab from insurance companies? I think that's accurate. This is a private company and this is the United States. We will not be bringing our kids back. Recommend to avoid and find a family dentist office. Get your kids to practice better dental hygiene practices and avoid being duped by silver diamine fluoride.
