Everyone is welcoming and makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. There is a small private parking lot, which makes visits much easier and stress-free. The cleanings are gentle but still very thorough and efficient, which I really appreciate. One thing that really stands out compared to other dental clinics is that my appointments almost always start on time. I never feel rushed, but I also don't feel like I'm sitting around waiting. Scheduling future appointments is also very easy. Overall, this is a well-run, professional, and friendly office that makes going to the dentist a much better experience.

The hygienist gravely informed me my teeth were in "terrible condition" and insisted I book cleanings three times a year -- apparently my mouth is the dental equivalent of a condemned building. They also completely misdiagnosed the cause of my tooth pain, sending me to a surgeon for two wisdom tooth extractions I didn't actually need. That surgeon? A sequel nobody asked for: sloppy closure on the extraction site, infection as a bonus feature, no prescription for pain meds, impossible to reach, and billing practices that made me wonder if I'd wandered into a used car lot instead of an oral surgery office. Also, my teeth were quite fine after a second and third opinion...

From my very first visit until now, they have consistently treated me with the utmost care, kindness, and respect. Their professionalism and dedication to their patients are something I deeply appreciate. To be honest, I've always been afraid of going to the dentist. I get anxious about the procedures, and I've often worried about being judged because of the condition of my teeth. But the moment I found San Bruno Smiles, those fears slowly disappeared. From the second you walk through the door, you're welcomed with genuine smiles and kindness from the front desk staff, making you feel comfortable right away. The dental assistants and doctors are incredibly patient, gentle, and compassionate. They never make you feel rushed and always take the time to explain everything and make sure you're comfortable throughout your visit. It's clear that they truly care about their patients, and that means so much to someone like me who has always struggled with dental anxiety. I would especially like to thank Dr. Madayag for making my teeth cleaning experience today such a positive one. She was gentle, attentive, and so kind throughout the entire appointment. Her professionalism and genuine care made me feel completely at ease. I also want to recognize Miriam, who helped me with both check-in and check-out today. She was incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming, making my entire visit even more pleasant. Thank you to everyone at San Bruno Smiles for always providing exceptional care and creating an environment where patients feel safe, respected, and valued. I wholeheartedly recommend San Bruno Smiles to anyone looking for a dental office that not only provides outstanding dental care but also treats every patient with compassion and kindness. You truly make a difference, and I am so grateful to have found you.

I am writing this review after a year of not going to this office. I started off with good…read moreexperiences with this dental office. Front desk was friendly, the dental office/equipment looked modern, and the dentists were efficient. Each procedure was explained and front desk helped with scheduling and often notifying for upcoming appointments. So the reason why I stopped going... I had a filling redone due to it coming off. However, I had pain around the same tooth for months. I couldn't eat on that side at all. I went back in for checkups to see if they can figure out what's going on. The head dentist told me to consider getting a crown since there seems to be a cracking on the tooth. They offered to cover the costs however I thought it was a bit extreme to get a crown from a routine filling. Over the next couple months, I would go back multiple times since the pain didn't go away. This included shaving part of the filling, redoing the filling, and trying to figure out my bite. And the final time I went there for a checkup, I was just told it could just be a neurological thing and almost made it sound like it was my fault and they can't do anything about it. The only reason why I kept going back was to give them the opportunity to fix what they had messed up. I ended up looking for another dentist and I told them my issue. They were able to figure what was wrong, and redid my filling. Now I have no pain.

We have paid dearly with dental treatments not needed = create massive new problems which is a greater concern of mine than the money wasted. Finally, this family clinic is like a 'relic from the past', and in the Best of Best Way. There is warmth, heart and deep, deep understanding of biological mechanisms, of caring for your teeth by working WITH nature, not against nature (and for profit). From hating to go to the dentist, I love going here, I live feeling happy for the rest of my day. I actually feel guilty, that they essentially have to 'pay' for their honesty, by only doing what's medically warranted, instead of offering harmful treatments. I'll make sure we throw some visalign-treatments etc their way. What a place. I hope they win Local Business of the Year - while still not becoming TOO POPULAR...! :)
