After nearly 20 years living in San Francisco - and cycling through a new dentist every couple of years hoping to find the right fit -I can finally say I've found "my" dentist. It might sound unusual, but I genuinely look forward to my dental appointments. Especially in a world that feels increasingly stressful and anxiety-filled, that hour in the chair has become one of the most welcoming, calming, and unexpectedly enjoyable parts of my week. Dr. Tran at Thodas & Tran Dentistry changed that for me. Even though he is out of network for me and not local to me - I happily travel from SF to San Bruno because he and his team are worth it. Dr. Tran has a steady, reassuring presence and takes the time to clearly explain what's happening, what to expect, and each step along the way. He thoughtfully reviews all options, walks through the pros and cons, and makes sure you feel informed and empowered - never pressured. Georgia and the other dental hygienist are the best. My teeth have never felt this clean! Professional rocks starts. Jenny, the dental assistant is excellent - so knowledgeable, warm and friendly, and always one step ahead and ready to go. The entire staff is amazing. You're treated like a person, not a number. After two decades of searching, I FINALY feel completely confident, happy, and at ease with my dental care. Highly recommend!!! read more

"Finally found a dental office that feels like family. Christine is an amazing hygienist--thorough but very careful--and she has a ton of experience, which really shows. Dr. Kim Tran is a total pro; he's efficient, and don't push unnecessary procedures, and he make the whole experience stress-free. Also, a huge shout-out to Michelle at the front desk. Even though it was my very first time and she didn't know me, she was incredibly helpful and managed to get me in for a last-minute substitution following a cancellation. She made the scheduling side of things a breeze. Best dentist in San Bruno, hands down." read more

I've had fears coming to the dentist especially with COVID, but the staff took all the precautions to make me feel safe. The office has a friendly family mom and pop feel. Patti is great making me feel welcome and answered all my never ending questions. Dr. Tran was very gentle and his staff are so down to earth. I didn't even feel a thing when he numbed me up! But the best part was having their office dog Nami on my lap the whole time!!!! read more

Thodas and Tran General Dentistry - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - San Bruno, California

I have been with Dr. Tran for many years and always grateful for his comprehensive and excellent dental care. I recently received my routine check-up. At first, I was apprehensive to go during COVID-19 pandemic, but the dental staff eased my mind by explaining over the phone the precautions and measures they implemented for prevention. The office was immaculate, service was friendly and dental examiner was efficient during my visit. read more

After years of cajoling and the appearance of some significant dental issues, I finally talked a couple family members to go check out this place. Keep in mind that the people I brought in HATE dentists and hadn't been to one in DECADES. As you could expect, they were really nervous when they went in for their first time. The staff along with Nami, the in-house dental therapy dog (she needs some official title), were so caring, gentle, and funny throughout our time there, however, that I heard no end to the accolades as I drove them home. If the idea of going to the dentist gives you the sweats or the shakes, you should check out Dr. Tran's office. Ask them questions and let them know of any concerns you may have. They really go the extra mile to make you feel at ease. read more

I feel so grateful to have such a wonderful dentist. Today my veneer came off my front tooth. Patti said to come in the same day and managed to get me in within and hour and one half. Dr. Tran, is so personable, and professional. He explained all the steps he would be taking to get the veneer back on and I was out of the office within 45 minutes. I could not ask for a better experience. I have been a patient of Dr. Thodas for many years and when he retired I felt we were in good hands with Dr. Tran. If you are looking for a dentist do not hesitate, the staff and Dr. Tran are wonderful. read more

Best dentistry in the Bay Area! The hygienist Kim has been very thorough and amazing. Doctor Tran is also very thorough--explaining all of the different options available to me. He takes a comprehensive approach with preventive services to keep the teeth in my head until I'm in the grave, which I appreciate very much. He also doesn't try to gouge me but always looks for the most effective path for both my pocketbook and health. He also has very gentle hands that's reflected in his excellent craftsmanship. I'll be coming here for the rest of my life! read more

I'm a 52yo person who has been going to various dentists all my life. One major reason I never stayed with a dentist for a longtime is because most dental offices I used had a person or system of insurance billing that made me feel very insecure..."how much am I paying, why don't they tell me the costs, why do they look at me glassy eyed when I ask about costs or insurance?" A major reason why I've decide to try and make a longterm commitment to Dr. Tran is because of his billing person Patty. Patty's great and because of her I have every confidence that I'm doing the best I can insurance wise. Dr. Tran is of course wonderful as well. The whole positive experience inspires me to make my teeth a greater priority. Thanks Dr. Tran and Patty! Why is it so hard to find a good dentist with competent medical billing stuff? Dunno, but these guys have it down. Hope this helps somebody. read more

I've been with Dr.Tran for a few years now and their quality of care has remained a stalwart for my dental needs. He is a consummate professional who takes the effort and time to make me feel comfortable and ensures that I understand the procedures/work being done. He is also supported by a wonderfull staff. Whether it's Patty who takes care of all my administrative/insurance needs to the hygienists and dental assistants who treat you like family. read more

Great spot! Only dentist i've ever been too. Super friendly front office, never had a bad visit here.

I have my dental service at this office for more than 10 years. Dr. Thodas and Dr. Tran are very professionally, friendly, excellent to take care all dental problem. Definitely will continue come back even it takes me 45 minutes drive one way for an appointment. On one Sunday, my wife's crown came off, i called the office, it happened Dr. Tran was in. He had my wife to come and made a temporary fix. Good well done job, especially thank to Dr. Tran for the VIP service. Highly recommend to everyone. read more

Man!!! Dr. Trans office came in clutch for me and my irritable wisdom tooth that has been causing me pain for about 2 weeks but besides that it would come and go for years. I know I waited way too long but I just couldn't this day. I came to San Bruno to grab some pies I have bought from my sister, but knowing my tooth I couldn't even eat it . My wife and I suggested to find a spot nearby and we came across Dr. Tran. They were willing to see me even though they were about to close in 30 min . I thank God that they did because I was able to eat my pie that day . I recommend this team because they were very professional and the vibes were just "POSITIVE". I didn't feel a thing either....thank you guys very much I might have to come back in a while because I can't stop eating sweets again . read more

Just had my teeth cleaned, and impressed with the COVID-19 precautions Dr. Tran has implemented to relieve any anxiety for visiting the dentist. During these difficult times, going to the dentist doesn't need to be scary. They are taking extra precautions to make sure you and the staff are safe and healthy N95 masks Disposable gowns  Air filtration systems Face shields Rubber dams Pre-oral rinses High speed suction systems Social distancing and isolation Thermal temperature reading read more

Came to the Thodas and Tran group with a mouth full of problems. Dr. Tran and team were so kind, patient, and knowledgeable as they slowly fixed every issue. He always goes over and above to make sure you are doing well, even checking in with you afterwards. Can't recommend this place enough! Thanks Dr. Tran! - Diana read more

I was referred to Dr. Tran by a close friend after my dentist of over 30 years retired. My dental history is quite extensive so I was a bit apprehensive to have to start all over with someone new. But I'm glad I did because I didn't know what I was missing with all of the modern amenities that are now available. My first consultation with Dr. Tran was fantastic! The office waiting area is stocked with magazines and coffee, all to keep you comfortable before your appointment. Patty who manages the office desk is so warm and inviting; you can immediately feel that this office has your best interests and are going to take care of you. Dr. Tran did a full examination, took xrays, and even did an oral cancer screening. Never have I ever had that done! He explained in in detail everything he saw from the xrays and the work that will need to be done, including a root canal (which I figured I needed). Dr. Tran prioritized what needed to happen first and what could wait, and said that he'd work with how my insurance was structured to help me plan my finances. An honest dentist who isn't trying break me...he's a keeper! Two days ago I had my root canal procedure. Now let me tell you, this is my seventh root canal. Yeah, you read that right SEVENTH! What can I say, I've inherited a yuck mouth. When Dr. Tran numbed me with novocain he was so gentle, he explained what he was going to do, he spoke to me in a soft calming voice (probably to help if I had anxiety, but I'm a seasoned novocain recipient ), told me to think of somewhere happy like Disneyland (he knows me already) and then he was done! Wait, what...I barely felt the needle. He waited until I was fully numb, shot me up again to make sure I was really numb and he prepared for the root canal. I was able to wear earbuds and listen to music while he was working and this was a first for me. I love my music so this was just an added comfort level for me. So comforting that I fell asleep! When I say Dr. Tran is gentle, I'm telling you, everything thing he did from the drilling to the canal clearing to the filling of the tooth was with the most gentle touch. He didn't use my face as a hand rest like I've experienced in the past! He takes the time to do the procedure right while keeping the patient in mind at all times. He explained how to take care of my tooth while I waited for my crown and manage pain in the days to come. I took Ibuprofen that day as the novocain wore off, but the day after I didn't need anything. No pain, no swollen cheek, no sensitivity...I'm mind blown! This is not how recovery has been in the past. If you're looking for a caring, considerate, gentle, but most importantly a highly skilled dentist, look no further! I highly recommend Dr. Tran and his entire staff. read more

My fiance and I were looking for a dental place to clean and whiten our teeth one month before our wedding. This was conveniently located 10 minutes away from my work. The office was very tidy and clean. All the staffs there were welcoming and knowledgable. Dr. Tran was able to squeeze us in for a cleaning and get fitted for whitening trays all in one appointment. They had a TV in front of each chair so I was watching the animal channel while my teeth was getting cleaned. ^_^ The process was very smooth, my hygienist was very gentle and pointed out where I should floss and brush more. They gave us a quick tutorial for whiten our teeth and addressed all our concerns about teeth sensitivity. Overall, great service! I think I'll be coming back here for all my regular check ups! Thumbs up! read more

I would totally reccomend !!! he gave me 3 shots of lydocane and it was pain free!!! worked on 2 teeth and the next day it was like nothing happened!!! best dentist ever!!! if you need a dentist or are looking for a new one I would guarantee you an amazing time !!! also the front desk lady was so nice and he has an amazing assistant Alice!!!! read more

Let's be honest. I'm not the most dedicated when it comes to my teeth, but I do my research when it comes to picking a dentist. I checked out at least five different places until a friend recommended me to give Dr. Tran a try. I went in for x rays and a cleaning and he made an hour and a half long process pass by seamlessly. I was very impressed about how he talked me through the entire process which I greatly appreciate. My previous dentist didn't really talk to me at all so it would just be me staring aimlessly at ceiling. Dr. Tran explained what he was doing and kept me engaged every step of the way. I have recommended many of my co workers and friends ever since and am set for another apt to fill in a cavity he found. :( Overall, fantastic service with reasonable rates. read more

Dr Tran is an incredible practitioner. He has always been highly attentive to any of the concerns or questions that I've had. I would recommend Dr. Tran to anyone seeking a youthful, energetic, personable, and intelligent dentist for their family. read more

Dr. Kim Tran is an amazing doctor that makes you feel at home immediately. He is very transparent and makes things easy to understand and does not make me feel like he's a salesman. He took the time and was able to explain my dental work in detail and had examples to help me better understand what was happening. He even explained my insurance coverage, which meant a lot since many dentist tend to gloss over and hide. The environment is very serene and has what looks like the latest dental technology (Chairs, Xray machines and cleaning equipment). My family has been going to Dr. Trans practice for years and Dr. Tran is really one of the only doctors I feel comfortable recommending. TBH, it was a stark comparison when transferring from our previous dentist and I don't know how we managed after seeing Dr. Tran. Just make sure you can get a good time on his appointment calendar! read more
