    If you're someone who has dental anxiety, or you've put off going to the dentist for years because…read moreyou're scared, embarrassed, or worried about being judged, this review is for you. I had excellent dental care growing up until I was about 14, but I also had a traumatic experience as a child when I flipped over my bike, knocked several teeth out, and had to be strapped into a chair while a dentist worked on them. That experience stayed with me. After my parents divorced, going to the dentist stopped being a priority, and despite brushing my teeth every day, I avoided dental visits for years. Eventually, I started having tooth pain and assumed I had one bad tooth. It turned out I needed two root canals and multiple fillings. To say I was terrified would be an understatement. One of the biggest fears about returning to the dentist after a long time is the feeling that you'll be judged. Dr. French completely erased that fear. She has been nothing but kind, compassionate, and genuinely caring from day one. She's the type of person who instantly makes you feel comfortable, and honestly, she's just an incredibly cool person. The hygienists and the rest of the staff are just as wonderful. Every single person in the office is warm, welcoming, and makes you feel like they genuinely care about you. The office itself is beautiful and has such a calming atmosphere. Then there's the fear of pain. I can honestly say I experienced virtually none. Dr. French referred me to Dr. Baines at San Jose Endodontics for my root canals, and I couldn't have asked for a better referral. Both root canals were completely painless. They prescribed ibuprofen afterward, and I never even needed it. Back at Willow Glen Dental, I was also genuinely impressed by how much they've invested in technology. It's not just a beautiful office--it feels like they've made a real commitment to giving patients the best experience possible. After my root canals, they digitally scanned my teeth, designed my crowns, and milled them right there in the office. I took about an hour to an hour-and-a-half break, came back, and had both permanent crowns placed that same day. No temporary crowns. No waiting weeks. As someone who hadn't been to the dentist in years, I had no idea dentistry had come this far, and it made the entire process incredibly convenient. The same was true for my fillings and every other procedure I've had. Throughout every appointment, the team made sure I was comfortable, answered every question, and never rushed me. Yesterday I finished the restorative portion of my treatment plan after about a year and a half of care. Dr. French joked, "Last round!" and then laughed that I was probably tired of seeing them. I surprised myself with my response: "Honestly... I used to have really bad dental anxiety, and now I don't." And I truly meant it. That's one of the greatest gifts this office has given me. They didn't just fix my teeth--they completely changed how I feel about going to the dentist. I never thought I'd be someone who could walk into a dental appointment feeling relaxed, but that's exactly how I feel now. I've already recommended Willow Glen Dental and Dr. French to several friends, and I'll continue recommending them to anyone who asks. (Just don't book Dr. French too solid--I still need my appointments! ) As long as I live in the Bay Area, this is where I'll be coming for my dental care. Dr. French is nothing short of amazing. I don't know what kind of magic she works, but she's incredible. Thank you, Dr. French, Dr. Baines, and the entire Willow Glen Dental team for giving me back not only my smile, but my confidence and peace of mind. 10/10. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

I waited no more than five minutes before being called in by the dental hygienist. She struck up great conversation and made me feel very comfortable as she cleaned my teeth. Dr. French came talk to me about a couple of issues I had and provided very reasonable recommendations and paths forward for each. Very friendly dentist! The facility is brand new, very clean, and very well run. If you're looking for a new dentist, look no further than Willow Glen Dental!

The assistants, Duy, and Maria, were friendly, which made the experience even more pleasant. We also appreciated that the office was on time for our appointments. Home care is so important. I value the time they spent going over instructions with videos and explanations. It really shows they care about your long-term oral health. They also provided a care kit which included an electric toothbrush and water flosser when we started treatment! We highly recommend this office and Dr Tam to anyone looking for compassionate, high-quality orthodontic care! The office is part of a strip mall beside Asby Sports- it is located inside a courtyard opening. There are plenty of parking spots. And stores such as Target, Ross, Marshall's and Raising Canes are nearby.

The facility, staff, care, and expertise of the dentists are all impeccable. I've gotten all four of my wisdom teeth pulled out at the same time, during COVID, and the procedure was short and the wounds healed perfectly. I also get my regular cleanings done here, and one thing to note is that the ladies at the front desk are amazing-- they'll call you a few days before to remind you of your appointment and handle any issues with rescheduling with ease.

    I recommended this Dental office because of the beautiful clean hospital,friendly staff,and…read moreinexpensive treatment costs.

    I have horrible teeth. I know, I know-- look at my smile and you'll think, "What is she talking…read moreabout?" (not to be cocky). But seriously, I've had over 50 cavities and one root canal in my short 21 years of living. I don't eat a lot of sweets, and I take great care of my teeth, but my enamel sucks. I think it's because when I was young I was sick all of the time and spent too much time in the hospital, so my enamel never formed correctly. So despite my efforts, I always have a cavity or two every time I go to the dentist. Damn my soft, sensitive teeth!! I've gone through a LOT of dentists, and I mean a LOT. Most of the time I just try them once and never return because they're such assholes. I hate it when dentists take my oral hygiene personally. Like, they think they're my dad or something (Crappy dentist: "You aren't brushing your teeth good enough! *sigh of frustration* Don't you care about your teeth!? Here, watch this video on teeth brushing!! *puts on instructional video meant for 5 year olds*"). I also hate it when dentists don't listen to you or address your concerns. I went to one dude who refused to anesthetize me while he was doing a periodontal cleaning (read = scraping my gums), my gums were bleeding like crazy and I cried the whole time and he STILL refused to give me something for the pain. What an ass! Couldn't he have at least given me a topical anesthetic? Anyway, one day I got a flyer for Dr. Watanabe. "Aw what the heck," I thought. I needed to see a dentist anyway. So I made an appointment. About two years later, I'm still seeing Dr. Watanabe and I can honestly say that I love my dentist. I don't dread going to the dentist anymore. He's kind, considerate, gentle and knowledgeable. He listens to your concerns and answers any questions in a thoughtful manner. Most importantly, he knows what he's doing. He explains what he does and why he's doing it, and whatever he does, he does it RIGHT. He's also just a cool guy overall. You can tell that when he talks to you while he's drilling, he's just an easy-going, friendly guy and having conversations with him come naturally; it doesn't feel forced or awkward at all. He went to UC Berkeley and he has a lot of interesting stories to entertain you with. He's also pretty understanding. There have also been several times where I've missed appointments and I was never charged for not keeping them. Dr. Watanabe not only does "regular" dentistry, but also orthodontics, invisalign, and aesthetic dentistry (veneers, bleaching, etc). So you can see him for all your dentistry needs-- hurray! :D Overall, I can't recommend Dr. Watanabe enough. Even though I've relocated to Hayward, I still continue to be his patient. The drive is definitely worth it. I don't think I'll ever find a dentist as good as Dr. Watanabe, so I hope he doesn't retire for a long time. EDIT (5/26/09)***: I forgot to mention that his staff is also great, especially his dental assistant. I always forget her name, but she's always so kind and friendly!

I mentioned needing to discuss with my doctor first, the receptionist said "your doctor is not a dentist, they wouldn't know" and continued to tell me to get the scan. I called and reached out 4+ times to resolve the issue and request a refund, they at first told me they would fix the issue, then completely ignored me. - Receptionist was rude and dismissive. One visit they charged me over 2,000 before the work was done or started, the total was WAY over my estimate. She would not explain or go over the charges. I saw the dentist, who had a completely different treatment plan, and then did not do the work, I had to call 3+ times to get a refund, for work that was not even done. - No clear way to email them, or get in contact. Very suspect and poor business practices. - delivered two crowns about 6 years ago, they were not fitted properly, they were too big when mounted, so they just put more cement in to make sure the scan even at the gum line, to absolve them of responsibility. I didn't know how to advocate for myself at the time and trusted them as id been going to them for so many years.
