I've had a great experience here and can't recommend them enough. The staff is incredibly friendly, from Carol at the front desk to Christina the dental hygienist and Dr. Chen. 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. read more

This practice is simply wonderful. They were able to get me in earlier and addressed all my concerns with my teeth. Dr. Chen is friendly, knowledgeable and fantastic. The hygienist, Gloria, did a great job, and the receptionist, Carol, was simply fantastic. Highly recommended! read more

I had a pretty bad experience with this office, mostly regarding billing. Christina determined I needed crowns and I was given a quote on the price, it seemed a bit high but I was willing to pay for the quality. Upon arrival to get the work done, they ask for ~$200 more above the quoted price upfront, saying that insurance may refund me any excess. Finally, a couple weeks after the work they bill me for another $100 without any communication! Their office pinned this on the insurance, but the insurance clarified that this office is simply overcharged for the procedure. So, the poor review is for their incompetence, as any dental office should know they can get pre-authorization for non-urgent work or at least ingest some of the balance if they grossly misquoted a patient. read more

Just got done with my first appointment at Simply Dentistry with Dr. Lee. As for a first experience, it felt comfortable and they were informative. I was given a health plan and options which was great. Office was nice. Staff was extremely friendly. Place was easy to find. After searching for a new dentist because my old office didn't take my insurance anymore, I finally found one. You got me as a new patient/ customer. You are not allowed to move or retire lol. Thank you Dr Lee. read more

So I happened to be Dr. Dustin Lee's last patient prior to his departure from this practice. Naturally, I had some concerns about who was taking over, but Dr. Lee promised that he carefully selected his replacement, to ensure a seamless transition and that the quality of care would be the same or better. I had my checkup today with Dr. Christina Chen and I can confirm that my concerns were unfounded. That's great for me, since finding a competent and trustworthy dentist isn't an easy task. I definitely recommend this dental practice. Dr. Christina Chen, her hygienists, and her staff are all excellent. read more

Dustin is the best Dentist in the area:)! Always does a great job! I has talked me through my anxiety plenty of times! Highly recommend him! read more

Dr Lee is great! Took my 1 year old daughter to see him for her first dental appt! He made it fun, came in with a teddy bear with teeth and had her brush it's teeth lol. He's clearly great with kids (and adults! I also see him for my dental exams.) read more

Simply Dentistry - General Dentistry Near Me - San Bruno, California

See all

Dr. Chen is the best dentist I have ever been to, bar none. I had not been to a dentist in 4 years and was very nervous about getting some teeth filled. Dr. Chen is so good that I didn't feel a thing but she also only put novacaine where it was needed so I didn't leave with my whole face numb like I have with other dentists in the past. I'm happy and relieved to know that I found a solid dentist I can trust. read more

I've had Dr. Lee look after my teeth for almost two years and every appointment has been great. I try to get my dental work first thing in the morning to avoid taking time off of work and the staff is always respectful of my time. Sometimes they take me in even earlier. Update: Dr. Lee is no longer there but Dr. Chen is a great replacement. She along with her staff is extremely helpful. read more

Dr. Christina Chen and the team are the best. They use the most modern equipment available and they always make sure comfort is always a priority. Their work is excellent from cleanings to extensive procedures. I highly reccomend Dr.Chen and Simply Dentistry to everyone. read more

Dr. Chen and staff are great and they genuinely care about my oral health. My only regret is to wait too long to come to her. Thank you Dr. Chen and the office staff! read more

I'm in California and needed dental services. Dr Lee was able to get me in today. Thank you Dr Lee ! I was pleasantly surprised to see what a nice office Dr Lee has. It's located in San Bruno just off of El Camino Real. It's a standalone home with beautiful landscaping. As I enter the office I felt like I was at someone's home. It's comfortably furnished and Dr Lee provides Wi-Fi, cell phone charging and bottled water. I completed the required forms and was quickly showing to dental chair. Dr Lee is so pleasant. He carefully and gently took care of my problem and I was out of there. I loved his professionalism and his evaluation following my appointment. I definitely recommend Dr Lee to anyone seeking a dentist read more

Prompt, professional and friendly staff. Great customer service. Super friendly receptionist that makes you feel very relaxed and welcome!

Dr. Lee may no longer be there, but the experience is still great! Friendly, understanding, and helpful for all my questions!

5 "tooth fairy" stars! After a lapse in dental care, Dr. Lee, Mary, and Carol took such good care of me during my first dental appointment at Simply Dentistry. Their combined care has given me back the confidence I needed to take care of my dental health. Painless and professional. read more

My previous dentist had screwed up my dental filling multiple times. I spent some time combing through dentist reviews on yelp looking for mentions of fixing fillings. Super happy I came to Dr Dustin Lee. He fixed it and I have not had any pain or discomfort for going on one year now. I have also gotten a night guard as well as regular dental cleanings with Dr Lee. He is incredibly thorough. For example, after he got the night guard from the lab, he patiently did the fitting, carefully making small adjustments to the night guard to ensure the perfect fit. In contrast, a family member got a night guard at another dentist and didn't even get a fitting. Dr Lee patiently explains everything he sees during the cleaning. He never pushes unnecessary services. He is very personable and makes the patient feel at ease. His dental hygienists are great too! read more

I used the online form on Simply Dentistry's website to schedule an appointment as a new patient. I waited a few days for a response, which never came. At that point I decided to move on and queried a different dentist and completely forgot about Simply Dentistry. Exactly three weeks later, the person responsible for Simply Dentistry's scheduling called me on the phone and asked sheepishly, "Hi, just wondering if you're still looking for a dentist. Or have you already found someone?" Even if I hadn't found a different dentist, I wouldn't want to patronize a business that takes three weeks to respond to potential customers. In fact, I wouldn't have even felt compelled to write this review if they hadn't been so tawdry as to call me back three weeks after my initial query, as if I would just overlook the fact that they ignored me for three weeks until their backlog had cleared up. So tacky. read more

Absolutely love Dr. Lee and his staff. From the moment Carol and I connected on the phone, I felt at ease. Everyone is so kind, flexible, effective and efficient! Very thorough cleaning, great communication. My teeth feel brand new every time I leave the office, lol. Carol, Mel, Christina etc are all lovely people as well! read more

Happy to found this place. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The office and the op room was very clean and organize. Dr. Lee was very professional and takes time to listen to your dental problem. He did a good job cleaning my teeth. read more

Been seeing Dr. Lee for cleanings every 6 months. I've been trying really hard to care for my teeth more. Team is really nice and caring. Transferring records from another practice was easy. Dr. Lee is thorough and explains. Had a filling changed and was in and out within 45 minutes. It was a positive experience considering I'm scared of any drilling. No pain at all other than the pinch of the numbing portion which is all I felt! Eventually I hope to change out my silver fillings but I am not in a rush and am confident Dr. Lee will continue to monitor and let me know when it's needed. I've also taken advantage of the whitening offers and do so at home at my convenience and can get refills when I go in for cleanings! I also really like the text reminders it's helpful! read more

Such a great place! It was my first time getting my teeth cleaned since before covid. Dr. Lee and his staff are super sweet & answered all my questions. I recommend coming here for your dental needs. Thanks Dr. Lee & staff! read more

What a great team. This was our first visit and EVERYONE was so friendly and everyone took the time to make sure all of our questions were answered. Our out of pocket was explained and most importantly costs were given prior to things being done. Nobody wants surprises at the end of a dental visit. If you are new to the area and want a great dental team, this is the place to go. If you want to change to a great dental office- this is your place! read more

Dr Lee and the staff took great care of me during my last visit. The practice is very clean and everyone is really friendly. They always do a great job of explaining everything they do and give honest advice on the treatment. The building has lots of free parking so that's a huge plus! read more

My visit to Simply Dentistry earlier this month simply superb :) I had problems with my jaw and it was causing some pains. The doctor was very patient in explain every step of the procedure and took great care to address and alleviate any concerns I had for long-term impact of my bite. I highly recommend Simply Dentistry for anyone who wants a caring and detailed dentist! read more

I reviewed his website and saw the words Anxious Patients and was curious what they could do to help with my anxiety of going to the dentist. I met Dr.Lee and we discussed my anxiety and he listened and took action. He explained everything I needed to know, what treatment options I had and answered my questions in layman's terms. I've been coming to my visits regularly and feeling more comfortable each time. This is the first time in my life I actually trust my dentist. There is not enough words to describe how great his practice is, the welcoming staff and his sidekick Mel. I am so much happier after leaving the office with a renewed confidence and a beautiful smile. read more

Dr. Lee and his whole team at the office are so nice, familial, and honest! Carol, Christina, & Dr. Lee's assistant are so sweet! I feel taken care of at the office and the experience is so easy. In general, I don't feel pressured to do any unnecessary procedures like some places in the past -- I'm made aware they're available and the outcomes of my decisions. That's really important for me. read more

With Dr Lee I feel at ease because you can tell that he has your best interest at heart. Dr Lee is not aggressive in his treatment recommendations which I like. He and his staff are really friendly too! The Simply Dentistry office has a warm vibe and seems to be well-equipped with the latest technology. I'm really happy with the way the filling on my front tooth turned out (after several other dentists filled it not so competently), and am so glad I can trust Simply Dentistry with my dental care. read more

I'm so happy to have found Simply Dentistry and Dr. Lee. I came in for a pretty straightforward cleaning and found out I had two undiagnosed cavities! (Grr I brush twice a day and floss!)... but Dr. Lee and his staff helped me to get the cavities filled and it was a breeze. Dr. Lee has professional, cheerful and calming demeanor. I never felt pressured to do more than what I needed, which speaks highly to this practice's character. The office is nice, clean and comfortable. They're right off the 101 and have easy free parking. The office is also right next to the train station, which is a huge plus. This was only my first visit with Dr. Lee, but I'll definitely be back! read more

I appreciated Dr. Lee's precision and efficiency. I hadn't been to a dentist in two years, and Dr. Lee was able to do both an oral exam and cleaning in record time. Through observations alone, he was able to recount my dental history, including whitening practices, the impact of crowding on two ceramic dental implants, incisor wear, and a filling I forgot I had. It turns out that filling is in its end stages, and I was impatient to get it replaced immediately, Dr. Lee advised that I wait because it still had some life left. I really appreciated this as it demonstrated he isn't driven by money. read more

If you're looking for a dental practice that's warm, comforting, and incredibly good with anxious patients - look no further. After nearly a decade of not going to the dentist out of fear, I came across Dr. Lee's practice on a anxious patients website, and decided to give them a try. From the first scheduling call with Chris at the front desk, to the now three visits with Dr Lee and Mel, I've felt like all of my concerns and fears were met with incredible empathy and professionalism. They've given me numerous options for putting myself at ease from allowing me to bring in headphones, to explaining the process in as much (or as little) detail as I'd like, multiple points for asking questions, and medication options if I felt I needed them. On top of all that - Dr. Lee's approach to dental care feels like keeping your teeth as healthy as possible, preventative maintenance now to prevent more extensive work later. He is non judgemental when it comes to past lapses in dental care and provides great advice for establishing good habits moving forward. I strongly recommend Dr. Lee and his practice for your next dental visit! read more

I am so happy I changed dentist because Dr Dustin Lee is brilliant and cares about his patients' concerns and listens attentively. The staff are very friendly, always smiling when you walk into the dental office which is very nice and modern and has positive energy! To top it off, there's parking and it's 5 minutes away from my house. Dr Lee is also very thorough but careful when cleaning my teeth since I have very sensitive gums. My daughter is also very happy that I chose Dr Lee as her adult dentist. read more

I contacted Simply looking for an emergency appointment near South SF after breaking a tooth (as my usual dentist in SF was closed for vacation). Carol was super responsive and quickly found me an appointment, and also worked diligently to validate my insurance due to Cobra election timings. I was seen to address the immediate issue and scheduled a follow up for a crown on the broken tooth. Throughout the procedure Dustin and Mel were both informative explaining the procedure, kept me informed, and also took lots of care and attention and unhurried service despite the next patient had arrived. I really appreciate their genuine and open dialog, and feeling like they are taking all care and attention to provide a really thorough and thoughtful service. read more

Here's what I can say about Dr. lee snd entire staff!!! They do their work with all their heart accommodating as best that they can communicating is the most that I've ever seen any office do. Dr lee constantly following up how I feel after major work . staff very accommodating always listening. I would highly highly recommend this office. I had an emergency situation with a tooth without hesitation Dr lee was able to accommodate me and start the process. He's very conveniently located parking in the back or on the street very clean and follow all protocol for COVID-19. From what I know they except most insurances call ahead and they'll explain again very accommodating and put their heart into the job you're not just another customer your a friend as well like family there . If you need a dentist try them ... I usually see christina for my cleanings who is by the way excellent book ahead for her . Carol and Christine staff in front always welcoming greeting when you walk in ! Give them a try ! read more

My husband and I both followed Dr. Lee from his previous practice, and I recently had my first appointment with him in San Bruno. Dr. Lee and his staff were professional, personable, and super accommodating, especially after I had to reschedule at the last minute due to illness. I also appreciate how straightforward Dr. Lee is about what are (and aren't) recommended procedures and practices for me, and that he takes the time to explain why. Highly recommended. read more

WOW. Dr. Lee is AMAZING! From the moment I walked through the door, I felt welcomed. Nadine is a gem and a sweetheart. She tackled every question and request I had while staying charming and relaxed. Dr. Lee is the friendliest dentist I've met! He is EXTREMELY thorough and does not pressure you or pitch you. He takes his time and answers all questions. He created a treatment plan, prioritized it, and then told me to let them know if I wanted to have the work done. This is after me telling the office that I want ALL work done. No pressure at all. He's very sincere and honest with what you need, I always respect honesty. Mel, his assistant, is very personable and friendly. Though she was polishing my teeth, she managed to make it a fun and enjoyable process. She's quite funny and easy to talk to. I'm coming back for all of my work, their prices are fair and very competitive. read more

Dr. Lee is personable, thorough, and detailed. He thoroughly explains treatment options and makes sure that you are comfortable during procedures. Of all the dentists I've had, he is the first dentist where I felt as though he truly cared about my outcomes and where there was no judgment about any dental issues or questions I had. I highly recommend him and his entire practice!! read more

Dr. Lee rescheduled his entire day to help me with an emergency, and he took incredible care of me and fixed the problem immediately. Very professional and highly recommended! read more

Great, friendly team. Really easy to schedule and helpful staff! Teeth cleaning was fast and pretty easy too :)

I hadn't visited a dentist in a few years and was a little apprehensive about my first time , but this place won me over! Dr Lee was super friendly, highly courteous and took his time to check my teeth ,provide options and explained what he was doing in a clear and straightforward way.His experience , skillful evaluation & execution gave me a sense of confidence as the work progressed. He was very gentle, patient and offered suggestions for dental hygiene. Dr. Lee and his team are phenomenal!!! I highly recommend using their service for all your dental needs. read more

Dr. Lee is really friendly & precise. It's easy to get fooled by his young demeanor, but I've been more than satisfied with all of his treatments so far! Before the treatment, he'd start by starting a very friendly & personable conversation which makes you feel less anxious. A really nice benefit for me (like many others) who are anxious of dentist visits! During the treatment, he'd briefly explain what he's doing. What I especially like is that he's a little bit of a perfectionist, so he'd make sure your new filling perfectly fits in your mouth. When I was getting my cavities filled, I felt that the teeth fit quite well, but he'd adjust it tiny bit more and to make it fit in a lot better. He also would make sure anesthesia is properly administered - I didn't feel any pain when it was getting injected. What I also liked is after major treatments he would personally call you later in the day to make sure you are feeling OK, and ask you to come by the office if there are any other problems. All of the staff members are very approachable and are very professional as well, and it's a pleasure visiting the office. read more
