**A flawless experience from start to finish** My daughter just completed her orthodontic journey with **Dr.Tan**, and I can't recommend him and his team highly enough. **Thoughtful, no‑pressure planning** Before we ever committed, Dr.Tan met with us for two complimentary assessment visits--about six months apart--to track my daughter's dental development. Both times he said, "Not yet," and sent us home with clear next‑step guidance. I appreciated the honesty and zero sales pressure. **Transparent pricing & flexible payments** When it was finally time to begin, the staff walked us through every cost, insurance detail, and payment‑plan option. They made it easy to choose a schedule that fit our family budget--no surprises later. **Expert care with a personal touch** My daughter started with a palate expander, and we received hands‑on training so we could adjust it confidently at home. When the braces went on, the entire team was incredibly patient with our sometimes‑anxious kiddo--hand‑holding and extra time when she needed it, but also the occasional firm reminder about the importance of good hygiene. (Braces are a partnership!) **Results that speak for themselves** Fast‑forward to today: her smile is stunning, her bite is perfect, and her confidence has soared. We're thrilled with the outcome and grateful for the professionalism, kindness, and consistency we experienced at every visit. Five stars only because Yelp doesn't allow six. If you're considering braces for yourself or your child, do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with Dr.Tan--you'll be in the best possible hands! read more

I was referred here by my children's dentist she swore by this office!! Unfortunately This office never answered the phones or any of my voice mails or emails after 2 months. So I'm taking my twins somewhere else!:( read more

As a senior adult, I've just completed two years of treatment for my bite, nocturnal bruxism and teeth alignment. It's been a wonderfully pleasant experience! Dr. Tan and every member of his team--from the front office to the assistants and technicians--are highly professional, friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend Dr. Tan--happy that my dentist referred me to him. read more

One of my daughters had braces at Dr. Tan and the other from Dr. Portalupi. As a parent, I received thorough feedback at every check up from Dr. Portalupi. I cannot say the same for Dr. Tan. My daughter had wisdom teeth and Dr. Tan never mentioned them and I found out after her braces were taken off. If you are debating between the two, Dr. Portalupi has better customer service, and you receive continuous feedback on treatment. read more

Seeing a dentist is my biggest fear; seeing an orthodontist is an even BIGGER fear! Oh mom dieu, my heart dropped when I found out that I have to get braces a second time because of a bite problem and big gaps between my teeth after meeting Dr. Tan the first time. Like a fortune teller, he told me about my biting problems I never knew I had. I wore traditional braces for 2-3 years when I was living overseas. Now I'm 8 teeth short compared to a normal person AND I have to wear braces again? Yup. I guess sitting in the consultation room with beautifully painted under-the-sea theme kinda made the news less dramatic. At the same time, I was a student at UC Davis. Commuting to see Dr. Tan was never a bad drive because I knew that he and his team of queen bees would never hurt me (like EVER)! If he decided to hurt me, his team of lovely ladies would save my life! I mean he's supposed to be the man for kid's teeth right? If a kid can handle it, I can get braces again with no pain. Ultimately, I chose Invisalign for my treatment due to the fact that it was convenient for my college life - can't walk into an interview with thick braces when I smile! NOOOooo! After 2 years commuting back and forth between Davis and Woodland then San Jose and Woodland, I'm now braces-free! Thank you Dr. Tan and his amazing ladies for helping me go through a painless (mostly) journey of braces. They also helped me to connect with different dentists across Northern California to schedule my teeth cleaning. If I decide to live in Woodland, I would make sure that my family, friends, neighbors and co-workers visit you for their orthodontic needs. To those who are afraid of dentists and orthodontists, go make an appointment with Dr. Tan! I can promise you that he will not bite. Instead, he will help you have the prettiest smile of all! Plus, they will give you a cool mug with mucho Dr. Tan's freebies! Once again, thank you for your services and I wish you all the best! From the patient, who didn't listen to your advice and ate chicken curry while wearing her Invisalign (NEVER DO THAT). read more

Dr. Tan took care of me for braces 14 years ago (2004-2005) when I first started college. At the time, my teeth weren't particularly crooked but the spacing between them wasn't ideal and so I wanted to get braces to have them line up nicely. Dr. Tan was warm and friendly and during the consultation he explained everything to my mother and I himself. He explained that the price was going to be about $4000, but that $1500 would be needed up front. He explained that the $1500 was part of the $4000. However, when we paid for the braces, it was in installments amounting to $4000 in addition to the $1500 up front. Additionally, when it came time, 1.5 years later, to have the braces removed, he placed a permanent metal retainer behind my bottom front teeth and gave me a more traditional retainer for the top teeth. I had regularly scheduled visits every few weeks to see Dr. Tan to check on things, and he did so at each visit. Within the first few weeks of getting the permanent retainer behind my bottom teeth, I ate an apple, and it dented the permanent retainer, kinking it! Well, my left bottom teeth next to the kink started to shift and my canine tooth started to migrate upwards! At first it wasn't very noticeable, but after a few weeks I started to wonder why my teeth were shifting. Dr. Tan inspected them each visit and sent me along my way. Finally, when it started to be very noticeable, I asked Dr. Tan, after he inspected my teeth and was ready to send me home, what I had noticed about my teeth shifting, and he inspected the permanent retainer. His tone quickly changed and he removed it and set me up to have braces put back on the bottom teeth. I had to keep them on for a few months again. When it came time to have them removed, Dr. Tan asked me if I wanted the permanent retainer again. I looked at him in disbelief and said "no". He gave me a traditional retainer for the bottom teeth as well. All in all, this wasn't a good experience and I was seriously disappointed in Dr. Tan's misleading us about the cost and then his oversight with regards to my teeth shifting. read more

Great experience here, but Make sure your employees disinfect frequently touched surfaces..

I first went to this office 11 years ago to get my bite fixed for purely functional reasons. Every time I had an appointment, it was like visiting old friends. Such a warm, friendly and professional environment. I was very happy with my smile after it was all done. Ten years later, I am bringing my sons to Dr. Tan. Much of the staff remains the same. The office is beautifully renovated and has a lot of eye appeal for adults, yet very kid friendly. The level of professionalism and perfection has made me happy that I chose to bring my sons here. They have been quite comfortable with the process and even enjoy coming to their appointments. I would like to add that the Dr. Tan and his staff are very active in the community, giving their time and support to local schools and charities. That character trait always impresses me about businesses. read more

I literally love this place and all the staff! Everyone is always so nice and Dr. Tan is amazing! I've had my braces on for a year now and have never had a bad experience read more

Friendly staff and excellent care team! I am a dental hygienist and have been referring to Dr. Tan for years because I love the smiles he creates. My daughter is now in his care and will be getting braces on next week. read more

Dr. Tan obviously is a consummate professional which is evident in how he handles the entire dental experience. My wife was experiencing challenges with her bite as well as grinding at night, and had been expressing these concerns to her previous dentist. From the time Dr. Tan's team became part of the solution, to his correct diagnostics of her need for a night guard, the entire experience was positive. It was effortless to set an appointment and the team was accommodating to her schedule. The high tech equipment that Dr. Tan has available was crucial to him having the tools and information to design a perfect fitting night quard. The result from continued use of the guard has been a significantly improved sleep pattern and just general well being. Dr. Tan even followed up with a telephone call to ask about the experience of sleeping with the guard. This is a level of care and professional courtesy that we appreciated and is seldom part of any other service. Dr. Tan and his entire team are now her choice of providers for her Invisalign care which will be sure to be as pleasing an overall experience as the night guard continues to be. Take the time to reach out to the team and you will be surprised at the immediate comfort and compassion that you receive. read more

I had decided to get braces again a second time around after my wisdom teeth had screwed up my straight teeth! (word of advice- get your wisdom teeth removed pronto! and wear your retainers...) Braces sure isn't cheap! My original orthodontist had wanted to charge me the same price as my initial treatment with braces- it was ridiculous. After browsing different orthodontists, I came upon Dr. Tan. He and his staff were super friendly, accommodating, and are really there to get you the best treatment possible. During my initial consultation here, I had requested a Damon System type like braces (I had done research and it was a new type of braces that's suppose to work slightly faster than regular braces. it's also pricier). I also asked about the clear braces (porcelain). Talking with the staff, they suggested I stick with regular braces considering my lifestyle, and how the results would be the same. Regular braces compared to the porcelain and Damon is much cheaper, hence I really appreciated how Dr. Tan and his staff are really there to find the best suited options for their patients. They could have easily pushed me to go towards the more expensive options like most of the other orthodontists I had checked out. During the course of my 1 year treatment, the staff was always very friendly and fun to chat with. They're also very gentle and careful in their work. If it's your first time getting braces, then you may not be able to tell if a person is doing a good job on you or not because you're unsure if this is how braces is suppose to be. But let me tell you, having gone through treatment with an office that is highly recommended in the bay area before, Dr. Tan's Orthodontics surpassed my expectations. Having gone through my treatment, I have to say that I was very satisfied with my results. I can now see why they were ranked #1 in Yolo County. read more

Nothing but praise for Dr. Alan Tan and his team. They are courteous, professional, and makes you feel comfortable and at home from the moment you step into the door. High technology starts at the very first contact as you check yourself in at a kiosk at the front desk. Reception has many amenities from multiple multimedia sources to a beverage center. The treatment area is orderly and clean. The team is friendly and proficient with their work. Dr. Tan, with his many years of clinical experience, continues to stay abreast of the latest proven dentistry including but not limited to digital impressions, Spear Education Leader, clear aligners. Needless to say I highly recommend Tan Orthodontics for any of your orthodontic needs. read more

Amazing team Dr. Tan has. They are all so helpful and nice. Would recommend to everyone. Great with kids!

My name is Erinn C. And I am a women in my early forties and have two children. We utilized the orthodontic serves of Dr Tan for both of my kids and was thrilled with the final result. Subsequently I decided it was time for me as I have always wanted the perfect smile. Dr Tan put braces on me and after one and a half years of correcting a difficult set of teeth, my braces are finally off and like with my kids, I am thrilled with the results. I finally have the smile I've always wanted. I would also like to add that the Tan Orthodontics staff was always professionl and courteous. I also felt Tan Orthodontics was competitively priced and very accommodating with regards to financing. Lastly I would like to point out that Dr Tan's aftercare was exceptional and he was great at making himself available to my kids and I "on a moments notice". Given the amount of time and resources I've put into my kids and i, it's nice to know our smiles are protected by Dr. Tan............ read more

When our seven year-old daughter began to get her permanent teeth, we knew that she is going to need braces. Having had braces myself as a teenager, I know the process of going in every month and enduring the pain and not being able to eat for a week after the braces are tightened. We want to choose a good orthodontist because we want our daughter to go through this only once and with the best possible outcome. An experienced orthodontist who knows what he's doing will make a huge impact on the outcome of our daughter's teeth. Being in the dental field myself for over 13 years, I've seen many cases where patients had to repeat their orthodontia because they didn't have it done correctly the first time. Having braces is not only about getting straight teeth, but proper alignment and occlusion are all very important. We chose Dr. Tan because he is not only very knowledgeable in these areas but conscientious as well. He ultimately strives to achieve what's best for his patients. From our initial consultation, we were impressed. The staff at Dr. Tan's greeted us warmly and were incredibly friendly. Alex, the treatment coordinator took our daughter in for x-rays, got down on her level and started chatting with her. During the examination, Dr. Tan explained everything clearly, how his approach would be in treating our daughter. He was very honest and stated that it would be a long process spread over time but with a successful outcome. He addressed our concerns and answered all of our questions. We felt very comfortable with Dr. Tan's recommendations and are excited to move forward with a second appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Tan and his staff for any of your orthodontic needs. read more

My 11 and 8 year old sons have been patients of Dr. Tan for four years. In those past four years, we have received nothing but the BEST care from Dr. Tan and his team! They are friendly, enthusiastic, kind, and always smiling. Dr. Tan is the BEST at what he does. He and his staff are very knowledgeable and gentle with the patients and always take the least invasive route when possible. Dr. Tan and his team are very accommodating and make each and every visit very comfortable for patients. They are extremely thorough and efficient. They really strive to give you the best care and the best smile. Dr. Tan makes his office fun and really treats his employees and patients well. For example, Dr. Tan often has contests and prizes for the winners. He has a monthly drawing for the patient with the "best brushing." The prize can be movie tickets, a Target gift card, etc...One example how Dr. Tan makes his office fun is by having "PJ Day!" It's usually every winter. Patients, Dr. Tan, and his team dress up in pjs and enjoy donuts while drinking hot cocoa. Dr. Tan's office has recently been remodeled and looks beautiful! Fresh, warm, and tasty cookies and water are complimentary at every visit, and there is always an enjoyable (and appropriate) movie to watch while waiting. Another great thing, that I especially love at Dr. Tan's, is that the office is CLEAN! The hygiene at Dr. Tan's is fantastic! Overall an amazing doctor and staff! I highly recommend Dr. Tan and would never go anywhere else! read more
