My new local dentist spot! I came across Shinkawa Dental based on all of the positive reviews. Finding a new dentist is something everyone dreads, but I am really happy with my choice to come here. I have had a few appointments already, and my opinion has not changed. Rebecca, the front desk receptionist who assisted me, deserves praise and recognition. She made me feel very welcome on my first day. She was cheerful and made me feel important as a new patient. They also gifted me a "Welcome!" goodie bag!!! How nice is that?? Priscilla is the dental hygienist who has assisted me a few times now. She is very polite, knowledgeable, and patient. I can tell by all of the happy employees that this is a healthy work environment. I have had the opportunity to see both Dr. Gerald Shinkawa and Dr. Nichole Shinkawa. Each of them was super kind, intelligent, and made me feel at ease. They are very efficient at what they do and make you feel appreciated for coming into their dental office. As a family-owned dental practice, they are doing a great job! The office is very clean and has plenty of parking in the shared lot. Don't be afraid to make the change--you will not be disappointed! read more

I needed to find a new dentist as mine dropped my insurance. I did my research and found rave reviews for Shinkawa Dental. My first visit was today and the reviews and ratings provided accurate! The office is bright and cheerful decorated in blue, white and yellow. I was greeted upon entering the office and was introduced to all members at the front desk. I was given what was basically a pricing sheet for services the office provided as they relate to my particular insurance. I appreciated this to circumvent any questions or surprises. The dental assistant called my name, introduced herself, and provided an introduction to the practice itself. She showcased the accreditation of all three doctors (also father , son and daughter) as well as a photo walking the family. There was a little welcome gift bag in my exam chair with some small person hygiene items. The dental assistant took the time to ask about me and made me feel valued. The cleaning and exam was done by the patriarch of the practice. His mannerism and knowledge is precise and comfy at the same time. It was a great experience and happy to say that this is an an example of a door opening when another has shut. read more

Another visit, another great experience. It's really the quality of service provided here at Shinkawa Dental. The staff are very welcoming and make you feel comfortable from the beginning when checking in, to having to come to your visitation room, and to the dentist seeing you. My dentist Dr. Nicole is fantastic, she's super down to earth and is excellent at her job. I always feel a little tense but Dr. Nicole makes me comfortable and that trust makes me feel more at ease with my visits. 4/24/26 read more

My first visit to Shinkawa Dental was wonderful! The staff were welcoming and professional. Every step was explained and I felt well cared for. The rest of my family will be visiting soon. I would highly recommend Shinkawa Dental! read more

I haven't been to the dentist in 15 years due to lack of insurance. The package I bought was perfect to get started!! I was in an urgent situation, and needed an extraction. They worked me in as a first time client and Dr Shinkawa was so amazing! He eased all my fears and took great care of me. The office staff and hygienists were all so wonderful. I would recommend Shinkawa Dental to everyone. Not having insurance isn't an issue as you can get started with an exam and X-rays for for the year for under $300. Future work gets a discount. I'm healing and will stay with this family owned and run practice as long as I live in the Central Valley :) read more

Very thorough and the Dentist actually clean your teeth. They are very informative by letting you know what's going on with all concerns. They measure each tooth gum space each time. I highly recommend this dental team. I've had prior dentists I thought were great but here they exceed all others. Very friendly staff too. read more

Updated review!! 10/10!! For service, cleanliness, efficiency and listening to patients concern!! My mom and I had a cleaning scheduled. I notified the office that we are running late and they were very accommodating. Dr. Nicole took care of my mom and I in a timely manner and we did not have to wait at all. I had a bunch of problem areas this time when going for my check up and cleaning and she was able to address a lot of my concerns and reassure me that the next appointment my problem areas will be taken care of. The office staff and Dr. Nicole were very gentle and kind. I used to dread going to the dentist office, but I am reassured with each visit that I am welcomed and everything will be taken care of. It is no surprise that Shinkawa Dental also recently won 2 awards from Best of Central Valley!! if you are hesitant and nervous about making an appointment, don't be and give them a call to schedule it so that you can be taken care of!! read more

I was looking for a new dental office and came across Shinkawa Dental. The reviews were all positive so I decided to give it a try. I was in need of a cleaning and check up. The process of scheduling the appointment was quite easy. The staff were friendly during my visit. Their text reminders were very helpful and filling out forms was a breeze. During my visit, I got a cleaning. The cleaning was done by the dentist, which I didn't think too much of but did note. In the past, dentists have not done the cleaning. It's usually done by a dental hygienist. The cleaning took no longer than 15 minutes. It was the briefest cleaning I have ever had. It was not thorough at all. Next, the dentist reviewed what needed to be done. Some of the work she recommended included two crowns. When I asked the front desk how much the crowns were, she let me know that my insurance would cover it. I shared that I wanted to know the actual cost because my insurance only gave a certain allowance and I wanted to calculate what I eventually would have to pay for all the work they were recommending. She continued to say that we would know once the insurance approved. Maybe we misunderstood each other but there just seemed to be a lack of transparency with the cost. The most concerning thing was the cleaning for me. I was looking for a dentist I could trust and frequent. Shinkawa Dental was not that. However, they do have some really cool high tech gadgets to look at your teeth and their office is nice. read more

Awesome place! Excellent service! Office is well organized too. Thank you. Kind and friendly experience dentists.

Shinkawa Dental always takes good care of me and my teeth. Whenever I need advice on something I can trust them for their honest input and never let me down. it's a family owned business and that is a plus they will treat all customers like family and make sure no one leaves tjere office confised or converned about their teeth. Because of them I am able to truly say my fear of the dentist is gone. read more

I have been holding off I'm going to the Dennis for years because of traumatic experiences before. I've been one who doesn't like pain or needles which is where most of the phobia came from. I looked around and read a lot of yelp reviews and came across this family owned business and let me tell you it exceeded expectations. Dr. Adam was very polite, explained every details to having to have a root canal done. And was comforting to the fact that I was afraid of the needle and was seriously so painless. It was the best experience I've had and dentist that's far and I'm in my 30s LOL I'm glad I found a dentist I can trust. read more

Amazing! Finding a new dentist can always be a challenge, but my experience here was 100% positive from the minute I stepped through the front door.

Today was my first visit at Shinkawa Dental and it was the most pleasant dental experience I've ever had! From the moment you step into their office to the moment you leave, you are treated with respect and great care. They are a family ran business with father, daughter, and son. During my visit there, I was able to meet all of them. Dr. Nicole was helping me today but her brother and father also stepped in to introduce themselves. I just needed a cleaning today, but since it was my first time there, I also got X-rays done as well. Dr. Nicole took awesome care of my teeth and was very gentle during my cleaning. I was honestly surprised that she was the one who actually did the cleaning because usually the hygienist takes care of that. She was thorough and answered all of the questions I had. I'm so glad I made the switch over to them! If you're looking for a dentist, I highly recommend them. You won't be disappointed. read more

Even dad takes the time to step in and say, "Hi". Conversations about life are a-plenty. They genuinely show an interest in the lives of their patients. I enjoy the new state-of-the-art equipment that makes my visits enjoyable and efficient. Expect to laugh several times while in the office.
