I have worked with Dr. Pham for the last 2 years repairing my teeth and getting Invisalign. The experience has been so smooth and easy. The staff at Singelton Smile are very helpful, on top of scheduling, and are always straightforward with billing which I really appreciate. Thank you for the amazing service Dr. Pham and team! read more

Fantastic service by Dr. Lina Eltahir (hopefully I spelled her name correctly!). I've had two routine dental cleaning and check ups all done by Dr. Lina, six months apart. Each time with her careful and gentle touch, she's put me at ease making me incredibly well taken care of. The office is very upscale with some of the fanciest oral xray equipment I've ever seen. Despite this, of the two times I've been there the friendly staff had never pressured to upsell me any products or procedures. I'm also really grateful they take my insurance Delta Dental PPO as many dentist offices have slowly stopped accepting this plan. I usually arrive when they open in the morning so I've not had difficulties w parking. I suppose if you time things right you could take the water taxi that runs from Tuesday-Sunday between Alameda and Jack London. The clinic is only about 15 min away from water Highly recommend this dental office and Dr. Lina Eltahir! read more

I've been a patient at Singleton Smile for several years now, and I can't recommend them enough. Recently, Dr. Pham suggested Invisalign to address some lingering alignment issues that my teenage braces didn't quite fix permanently. While my primary goal was the functional improvement of my teeth, I am absolutely thrilled with the cosmetic results that have come along with it! The entire process has been seamless. The staff is incredibly friendly, and they make the scheduling process easy and stress-free. If you're looking for a dentist who is both highly skilled and easy to work with, definitely see Dr. Pham! read more

Dr. Pham and the entire team, from the front desk to the hygienists, are warm, patient, and created a genuinely great experience. My Invisalign process was super easy start to finish, with clear instructions and zero confusion about next steps. The results speak for themselves. My front teeth on top and bottom no longer overlap and I have a smile I'm really proud of. Highly recommend! read more

Probably one of the best experiences I've had at the dentist. I like how efficient and time conscience the staff are. The assistants and Dr. Pham are very, very thorough with their work. They are also honest and will only inform you of what needs to be done. The price is fair for all things that they do. They perform multiple initial X-Rays to look for cavities and structural issues. A 3D scan of your teeth to show you everything and the issues that are present. Consult you with what options you have and how you want to proceed. They really take care of you and treat you like family. read more

Singleton Smile Dental - General Dentistry Near Me - Alameda, California

I've always dreaded going to the dentist. Even as an adult, I would still tense up during a normal routine cleaning. I decided to try Singleton because of all the reviews. The office is very clean and modern. The staff are more friendly than not. When there's an earlier appointment or a sudden change of schedule, they'll let you know right away. During my appointment for filling replacement/cavity filling, I told Dr. Pham that I was really nervous. She made sure to tell me what step she was on. She checked to make sure I didn't feel anything. One side was hypersensitive so she made sure I had enough anesthesia. It was definitely enough because I'm still a little numb as I'm writing this. I was tense the whole time but it wasn't painful at all, other than the injection part. I'm not going to say I no longer have dental anxiety, but I know I'm in good hands! :) read more

Delta Dental patients beware -- they will put you on a 2+ year waitlist as a new patient, regardless if you as a customer decide to use/not use Delta Dental and pay for everything out of pocket. Can't help but feel this is wrong ethically and it's even more concerning this not disclosed proactively. I'd give 0 stars if I could. read more

I have been going here for several years and can't say enough how glad I am to find Dr. Pham! I've never been so comfortable at a dentist's office before! The entire team is kind, patient, and professional. They take time to explain every step and make sure you're at ease. My teeth have never felt cleaner. highly recommend! read more

I scheduled a new patient appointment at Singleton Smile Dental. I chose Singleton Smile because the practice's website states that they accept all PPO insurance, and because there are consistently positive Yelp reviews for the single dentist. This indicated a high likelihood of quality care. Shortly thereafter, I received a call from the practice. After making sure that I was the right person, the person with whom I spoke asked, "Have you seen any of our dentists before?" I said no, but this raised a small red flag because only one dentist is listed on the website and in within the Yelp reviews. The person with whom I spoke then told me, "We actually aren't accepting new patients with [my PPO insurance] right now." I replied, "Okay; that's fine. I'll keep my appointment without insurance. No big deal." After I confirmed that this was fine and that I would keep my appointment without insurance, the person stated, "We actually need to cancel your appointment on our end. I'll go ahead and do that." She then offered to put me on a waitlist for my insurance. I declined: I'd just said that I'd be happy to pay out of pocket for an appointment, potentially with a surprise dentist, and my appointment was still cancelled. This all made me really uncomfortable. Honesty, integrity, and reliability are pillars of healthcare quality and patient safety. Those pillars were not upheld within this interaction. read more

I am so happy I found Singleton Smile Dental (SSD)! It has been years since I had gone to the dentist and was really nervous about what I would find out at a visit.

Excellent customer service. Everyone was very nice and professional. The office was very clean and modern.

Absolutely horrible experience at Singleton Smile. If I could give zero starts I would. I wish I could comment on the actual dental experience, but I never got to experience it because their administrative system is a complete mess. I found Singleton Smile through yelp and decided to go with them because of the great yelp reviews. Their yelp page links to their zoc doc profile for booking -- fine I have seen this many times before. I made an appt for Tuesday the Thursday before. Everything seemed fine! I get a call, without caller ID, at 7:30 am the following day, Friday. The caller leaves a voicemail saying that they just need more info to confirm my insurance. They didn't say anything to make me believe my appointment was at risk of cancellation. This seemed totally normal and because my insurance requires me providing my social to the office to identify me, I decided I would rather provide this in person. Worst case scenario, I planned to pay out of pocket for the cleaning. I have done this countless times at dentists, including for my wisdom tooth surgery, without issue. Okay so Tuesday morning, the morning of the appointment, arrives. I have been getting zoc doc notifications every day saying things along the lines of "get ready for your Tuesday morning appointment at singleton smile with Dr. Pham!" The morning of, zoc doc prompts me to do my online check in to speed along my appointment, which I do. Everything points to smooth sailing. I arrive to the appt 15 mins early -- mind you I had to rearrange my schedule and miss a meeting for this appointment -- to check in and clear up my insurance confusion. Well, this is when everything turns sour. The administrator says that there is no appointment for me. I'm like what are you talking about? I just got a text five minutes ago telling me my appointment is about to start?! She then asks if I have a certain type of insurance; I say I do. "Ohhh we are not accepting clients with this insurance, there's a waitlist". I'm like well can I just pay out of pocket? Apparently this office has some sort of slimy, special deal with this insurer where if someone with that insurance wants to pay out of pocket, they have to turn them away. This is how she describes it at least. This is ridiculous because I could have just as easily never stated my insurance at the time of booking and not been treated this way. Furthermore, it was never communicated to me in any way that my appointment would be cancelled. In the call that I mentioned earlier, they already knew which insurer I had and stated that they just wanted "more info". If what the administrator at the front desk said is true, they never would have accepted my appointment with this insurance. So when they called me on the phone, knowing what insurance I had, why didn't they tell me that they were canceling my appointment? So, they went ahead and cancelled my appointment. My frustration and disappointment is around this: 1) If my insurance was a problem, this should have been clearly communicated to me over written communication via text or email, which I provided at the time of booking. This way, I could have cleared things up or at least known my appt was cancelled before taking time out of my day to show up. 2) I was getting multiple notifications a day from Zoc Doc confirming that I have an appointment. Considering that Singleton Smile's yelp LINKS YOU TO ZOC DOC to make the booking, they should be making scheduling updates through zoc doc. One of the most frustrating parts of this experience was the administrator telling me "well Zocdoc confirmation isn't a real confirmation." If this is the case, then you should not have zoc doc be the only booking system YOU link to make an appointment. She was basically discrediting Zocdoc and the validity of appointments made through Zocdoc, but the practice literally links you to Zocdoc to make appointments. It all seems so hypocritical. 3) If my appointment was never validated through your office, you need to reach out to me directly and tell me that instead of wasting my time and letting me come here at 8:45 am on a workday. I don't care if you provide that information through Zocdoc or through contacting me directly or leaving a voicemail where you explicitly state you are not taking my appointment, but you need to inform me of that ahead of the appointment. I just don't think that it's an acceptable way to do business to waste people's time like this. 4) Lastly, I don't know what kind of insurance scheme they have going, but it seems really ridiculous to me that I can be a customer ready and willing to pay for a service and they still won't provide it to me for no other reason than that they have a special deal with my insurer that states that they won't accept out-of-pocket payments, but then they also will not accept patients with this insurance because there's a waitlist. read more

I typically don't leave reviews like this because I don't find them helpful, BUT I called this office to find out if they were accepting new patients and if so, could I schedule an appointment. The girl that answered the phone was so rude that I just decided to hang up. I think she said her name was Vanessa. So if you call and she answers, I recommend asking for someone else to help you! read more
