Arthur M Muncheryan, DDS

I’ve been going to Dr. Muncheryan for over 14 years. He does the most gentle Novocaine injections since I HATE needles! Over the years, I’ve done root canals, crowns and captivity fillings all done by Dr. M. In fact, they were so pleasant that I will manage to fall asleep in the chair. He has a TV in every room so you can space out and not freak out when they’re working on your teeth (or is that just me?)
Plus I love Connie the hygienist who’s cleaned my teeth countless of times. She knows my routine so well, that there’s always two Advil’s ready for me before we get started, topical to put on my gums b/​c I hate any kind of pain and my goody bag packed with treats before I leave. (Ok so floss is not really a «treat»)
Can a dentist office spoil you? I guess so…

Great Dentist, great office staff. Have been going to Dr. Muncheryan since 1980. I hated going to the dentist as a kid but this guy puts you completely at ease and makes the visit pleasant. The three times a year cleaning I get is also terrific. Staff warm and friendly. None of my fillings have fallen out from the 1980s! Recommend, especially to those who have a fear of dentists. This dentist and company will help you through it.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Muncheryan! Not only is he exceptional dentist but he also has a way of making even the most nervous person (me) feel calm. Thoughout my different procedures he has always made sure that I was absolutely comfortable and in no pain whatsoever!!! He explained everything to me from A-​Z. He is so gentle, you don’t even know that he started the procedure. He is truly a miracle worker!!! I actually had to call Dr. M on a Friday night, and without even thinking twice, he said, «can you meet me at the office now?» ONE IN A MILLION, that’s all I can say!!!
Dr. Muncheryan’s team is also fabulous. Everyone there is so genuinely concerned about you, they truly make you feel at home. Rebecca is probably THE best dental assistant that I have ever met in my entire life. She is kind, caring and is right next to you throughout the entire procedure! Jim and Virginia are the most upbeat, friendly and professional office managers any one could ask for. They ALWAYS greet you with a smile, and welcome you with open arms. Connie, who is an incredible dental hygenist, is wonderful. Like Dr. M., she explains everything from A-​Z, and gives your teeth the BEST cleaning EVER!!! Everyone in the office is just too good to be true!
I DEFINITELY recommend Dr. Muncheryan and his team to everyone!!! There is no one better!!!

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Muncheryan and his staff for almost 13 years now. I used to work for Dr. Muncheryan when I was in high school, and because of his encouragement and support, I decided to become a dentist too! Not only that, I am also a current patient as well. When I was living in SoCal for 2 years, I used to fly back just so I could have Connie, the hygienist, clean my teeth. She is very gentle and thorough, and I can’t imagine going to anyone else.
As a dentist, I can truly appreciate the quality and care that Dr. Muncheryan puts into his work. His many years of experience make him very knowledgeable, and he is very good at explaining things when you don’t understand. Rebecca, his assistant, is very attentive and does a great job of creating a comfortable environment during the procedures.
I really enjoy my visits to the dentist, especially when Jim and Virginia at the front desk are so friendly and welcoming. It’s great to catch up with them each time I’m in the office. You can tell that Dr. Muncheryan and his staff genuinely care about their patients. I highly recommend going to Dr. Muncheryan for all your dental needs.

This review is for the office staff only, not for Arthur Muncheryan himself. Very poor customer service. Virginia is rude and strange. Completely inappropriate. I would not recommend this office.

This is the first dentist office that doesn’t make me have butterflies in my stomach and sudden pains the second I walk through the door. I’ve been going here since 2006 and never thought once to Unilocal about them till today. Connie is hands down one of the best hygienist I have ever had and I have had a lot. I like the toothbrush they give, Oral B. They have little lip balms. I love the staff. Virginia, Jim, Connie, Dr. Muncheryn, and Rebecca. This is the first place that they know me by name and I remember their names. I never remember anyone’s name. I like it here a lot.

I went to Dr. Muncheryan after having been failed by Gentle Dental. I took him my xrays from Gentle Dental, and the same complaint (a toothache). He exaimined me, explained why the x-​rays (copies) that Gentle Dental gave me were of low quality (they weren’t contact sheet copies), and proceeded to find that Ihad a dead tooth (which was causing the pain). Two days lafter, I had a root canal, Six days after that, and I’m pain-​free for the first time in a month.
Dr. Muncheryan is friendly, open, –conscientious-​, skilled, and explains everything that’s going on. He was open to helping me understand that, sure, a «deep cleaning» (something Gentle Dental pushed on me with a sledgehammer) was a good thing, but could and would wait for another time (when I had better insurance) but that a root canal? No, that was something to do –now– unless I wanted to lose this tooth. And yes, I could lose this tooth, but that was up to me.
The operation was the opposite of what I imagined dental surgery to be like. Almost no pain at all. And as I said, 6 days later, and I’m pain-​free.

My sisters and I have been going to Dr. Muncheryan for the past few years and they make it plesant to go to the dentist. Dr. Muncheryan is great dentist with a kind demenor. The rest of he staff is also WONDERFUL. Virginia and Jim always give a great big smile and a kind ‘hello’. Connie is super nice, and Rebecca are very gentle and attentive when she is helping out. I hope this review is helpful to someone looking for an awesome dental office.

get a second opinion.

Dr. Muncheryan is a great dentist. He was able to fix the bad crowns that I had from my previous dentist. Food was getting caught under two of my crowns. The new ones that Dr. Muncheryan made fit like a glove. I no longer have any problems with food getting trapped underneath them. Connie the dental hygienist does an excellent job of keeping my teeth clean and is very professional. I highly recommend this office to anyone in search of a dentist. The staff is great!

It’s nice to actually look forward to going to the dentist! Everyone is so nice there, I consider them my second family! They always remember what I’m up to in life and care about knowing more. But down to business… in all my years of going to the dentist, I have never found a staff more thorough than them. They are gentle and efficient, and all around a great team.

I can’t imagine a better solution for dental needs. Work is done with great care and integrity. The staff is conscientious with a delicate touch and Dr. Muncheryan is always willing with a full explanation of the what, why and how of the work to be done. His depth of knowledge of various techniques and choices makes it no surprise that he taught dentistry for years. The office is also very conveniently situated with regard to transportation and parking.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Muncheryan for 10+ years now and absolutely love him and his staff. Connie, the oral hygienist, is the best and she always does a wonderful job on my teeth. Even after I moved out of SF, I continue to go to him and only him. No matter how far I have to travel, Dr. M is the only dentist for me.

I come from a family of bad teeth. I also have intense dental fear. As a kid, my mom took me to a clinic and every visit brought me a different dentist, ranging from awkward to creepy boy who called little girls «sweetie» and «honey». I avoided the dentist between the years of 6^th and 10^th grade, then ended up with a dentist who always looked like he was in tremendous stress. It didn’t help that the day he gave me a filling was a day after his toddler knocked over a pot of hot oil onto his leg. We only went to him because he made a lenient payment arrangement with my mom since we didn’t have insurance. I finally became an adult and picked this guy as my dentist. I can’t remember how I found him (I think a referral from a co-​worker?) but I’ve been a patient of his since 1999.
So what makes him so awesome? He cares about the quality of work he does. Anal retentive = awesome. He’s also very conscientious about people’s previous dental trauma and always makes sure I’m comfortable. Not only is he awesome, but his entire office is awesome. They provide excellent customer service that is above and beyond.
I had a root canal on a molar yesterday that took 4 hours and this morning, they called me to make sure I was okay. Whenever I get anything major done, they call me that evening or the next day to make sure everything’s good. I’ve also gotten «get well» cards when I’ve canceled due to illness and gift cards for referring new patients (I’ve referred at least 5 people who continue to see him). Last month, they had to cancel my appointment because they had a power outage and for the inconvenience, they gave me a $ 10 Starbucks card. I didn’t feel inconvenienced but I appreciate their consideration.

from time to time, i suffer from anxiety about going to the dentist. finally, i have found dr. muncheryan who i can only describe as a dental ninja. his work is careful and practiced, and so unobtrusive (in re: pain, swelling, etc) that i can generally go right back to work afterwards. manages to do all the drilling and such without applying too much pressure, so i often leave with my teeth feeling better than before they were filled, instead of spending days and days all puffy and irritated afterwards, dining on popsicles and pudding.

for instance, today i had to get a root canal, which i had been putting off for more than a year. one hears a lot about how painful root canals can be, and i was scared going in because i hadn’t had a ton of work done on my teeth before. i imagined i would have to spend my day with an ice pack strapped to the side of my face, explaining to friends and coworkers «AH HAHH A OOT CANAAH». in fact, after a couple of advil, i was good as new, though i still stopped and got a milkshake. c’mon. everyone likes a milkshake after the dentist!
