Soothing Dental

I’ve been going to Dr. Yang for 10+ years. She has kept my teeth and gums healthy and cavity free! Stella is super friendly and does some of the most thorough cleanings I’ve ever had. I love the small touches like the chapstick they offer to keep your lips from getting too dry. Overall a great practice that I’ve recommended to many friends.

Dr. Yang DDS and Dr. Saeidi DDS are amazing they are very outgoing and polite. They actually converse with the patients on a personal level. They are very knowledgeable and respectful towards patients needs. They make your dental experience enjoyable. «Who enjoys going to the dentist»!
The technicians are very friendly and personable. They relate and sympathize with your dental conditions and concerns.
They make the experience fun!
Oh and the receptionist Samantha is amazing! She is very understanding and comforting. I really really like Samantha! Great personality and very knowledgeable! She explains treatment options and financial services (insurance coverage) very well.
Soothing Dental has the most up to date technology. Current and advanced technologies make the dental experience quick and easy! Painless too!
Lastly at Soothing dental I have never felt they were trying to take advantage of me by suggesting unnecessary procedures! They have never required or made me feel I had to have unnecessary dental work done! This is why I choose Soothing Dental!

This dental practice offers a high-​level professional dental experience in an inviting environment. Dentist, hygienist, and support staff are all highly skilled and competent with the bonus of warm personalities. Also, very helpful with insurance filings, net cost calculations, and on time with your scheduled appointment. 5 stars!

WoW, the dentist sports sexy high heels and the office is swank. I have sensitive teeth and they gave me a special rinse to use before the cleaning and it was the most pain free cleaning I have ever had.

Last week I had two unusual gum-​line fillings, performed excellently by Dr. Saeid. The procedure went smoothly with no pain or problems. Once the numbing medication wore off, I was able to eat. I was also very impressed with Dr. Saeid follow up telephone call, asking how I was doing. Everything has been fine since.

I have had back luck in the past with dentists where they are almost like car repairmen, you never know what they’re going to «find» and bill you later.
Not the dentists at Soothing Dental! Dr. Saeidi is the best. She is thoughtful, thorough, detail-​oriented, explanatory, and trustworthy. My first visit to the office was when I was debating switching dentists and I was convinced immediately. Dr. Saeidi respectfully explained to me how other procedures my current dentist was recommending were unnecessary. And on top of it, when she was finished with my minor procedure they gave me a referral credit that cut my bill in half!
The entire staff is very friendly, accommodating, and remembered me when I came in for my 2^nd appt! I’m a brand new patient, I did not expect that.
I’m never going to another dentist again and it’s all I talk about. Haha

I’ve been a patient here for more than 5 years and I refer all of my friends and coworkers to this place.
In that time, I’ve never met people who care about me and my needs as much as Samantha, Stella and Dr Yang.
They’ll go out of their way to tell me why they’re doing a procedure, explain my benefits to me, and make me feel at ease. I would recommend them to anyone!

Great staffs and service. Very friendly as I walked in. I was here for a teeth cleaning. I mentioned some sensitivity in one of my tooth. They noticed a crack in my filling and Sona was able to fix it the same day. She took care of my problem right away.

Dr. Sona is incredible! Just finished getting two crowns on my teeth and she is the first dentist I’ve had that I felt comfortable with and trusted the work she was doing.
She has a very light and funny personalty and really cares while she was working on me. She called me after the temporaries were placed to see how it was working out and make sure they felt good! I am so glad I chose Soothing Dental and Dr. Sona as my dentist!

Dr. Yang and her staff are friendly, professional, gentle and serious about dental hygiene. The best dentist I’ve had in years.

Really nice folks! I had Dr. Sona. It was the first time I had visited a dentist in 5 years, so I was curious to see what had changed since (in practice and experience. Not a stereotype here.
They care, they’re nice, they’re fast, and they’re comfortable.

Absolutely love it here. Very relaxing environment, convenient scheduling. Great locations (walking distance for me), free wifi, no pain, etc.
Only thing I could possible complain about is that I don’t like the mint polish they use. Even then… they go out of their way to find me another flavor!

I really like this place. When I moved to the US, I was nervous about finding a dentist that would take care of me well, and a friend recommended this place. 3 years later, I still love Soothing Dental. They take great care of me every time I come, are very friendly and professional. I even once had a wisdom tooth extracted, and the whole procedure took 15min and was completely painless. Incredible.

I’ve been coming to Soothing Dental since I moved to the city about 8 years ago. The team is professional, the space is updated/​immaculate and the energy is relaxing. I’m always feel confident in my care and my cleanings.

Friendly, professional service every time. This office never makes you wait when you show up during your scheduled appointment and they’re flexible when things come up.

I really like my dentist. I go for cleanings every 3 months and see Stella and she’s just great. Very friendly and does a great job. Dr. Saeid just replaced a popped crown and the whole process was excellent. No pain and very satisfied with the results.
The office space is at the top of the 450 Sutter medical/​dental building. Beautiful views of the city with a nice décor.

I really enjoy visiting this office. Lovely décor and friendly, thorough group of professionals. Stella makes a cleaning as painless and enjoyable as a cleaning can be. I feel I’m in good hands with Dr Saeid and Dr. Yang.

I have been coming here for years and I always look forward to my visits. The whole team is very friendly, the space is very elegant, and cleanings and other treatments have always been excellent. Thanks Soothing Dental!

I think I’ve been going here for close to 9 years. Dr Yang has been there the whole time and is always amazing. I’ve only had one appointment with newer dentist, Dr Saeidi, and she is fantastic. The staff is super friendly and helpful. They are out of network for my insurance and still really helpful about finding the best way to manage that.

I’m not a fan of going to dentists but this one was just different!
Great atmosphere and friendly assistance. Had a very relaxing time while I was doing my whitening here.
I did the Zoom whitening with laser which resulted in super white teeth (love it). I was in the chair for like 2 hours. They had TV glasses and noise canceling headphones and had Netflix. I watched Friends the whole time that I was in the chair. It was great.
I was cold and I told them and they brought a blanket which was nice.
I will definitely be going back for some other procedures that I’ll have to do.

Dr. Yang and her staff are dentistry wizards. They make every visit comfortable and enjoyable. I would recommend them to anyone.

I hardly ever write reviews but Dr. Greg Ganji is amazing and I wanted to make sure people know it.
I had a huge triangular dark space between my two front bottom teeth that I hated and found really embarrassing. I avoided smiling my whole life and at least once per day someone would tell me I had food stuck in my teeth because the dark space looked like a piece of spinach. I had asked every dentist I have ever visited if they could fix it and they all said no that the space was too large to fix and they didn’t have the skills. Dr. Ganji was able to fill the space and my teeth now look and feel amazing. It has been over a year and no issues whatsoever.
Whenever he works on a tooth for a cavity or a crown he checks to see if that tooth could be improved in any way (built up to improve bite, needs reinforcement etc). He also has never recommended work that doesn’t need doing and has fixed a lot of sloppy work from previous dentists. I completely trust him and highly recommend him.
The dental hygienist has also worked wonders on my gums. I forget her name but she is wonderful too.

I am very pleased with the results of my recent visit with Dr. Ganji!
After having my braces removed, my teeth were left with unattractive spaces, known as black triangles. Usually people are happy about having nice straight teeth after braces but the black triangles really bothered me. I tried going to my dentist who I’ve been seeing for 10+ years and after a long and painful appointment, I could not see a difference in appearance and I felt that she was not honest about her ability to fix my problem. Frustrated, I went online and researched the best solution for the black triangles and found a procedure that is only done by two dentists in San Francisco, including Dr. Ganji. I came in for a consult, scheduled my appointment, and after a short appointment my teeth look amazing. I can’t recommend Dr. Ganji enough. I will never go back to my old dentist!

On Thursday, 2÷12÷15, I had a consultation with Dr. Suzie Yang to see if I was a candidate for a certain dental procedure. The office looked very nice and clean.
Dr. Yang and her staff members in the office were very professional and nice. From start to finish I was treated very good.
Even though I wasn’t a candidate for the dental procedure I was interested in I’d highly recommend Dr. Yang.

Still love them. They even saw my mom from Iowa when she was in town and had a dental emergency. She still talks about how cool this… trip to the dentist was. really.

Sorry for the delay in posting my update. After my last review, Dr. Yang contacted me to see if she could fix the problem. I appreciate their desire to fix the issues they have with their clients. They did fix the crown with a less expensive option (I now have a gold grille, jk, but it is a gold tooth) and didn’t offer a refund for the difference but that’s ok. At least the tooth is better.

I’m really pleased with the excellent care and attention I have received at this dental office! I found my way to Dr. Yang because of her non-​evasive gum rejuvenation procedure that she offers, which, incidentally, I found far more palatable than having the roof of my mouth harvested for a gum transplant. But I was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful won over by the outstanding office staff and quality of treatment I received there. Dr. Yang is especially wonderful, and I am switching dentists to become a patient with them! Great dental office! Thanks!

Dr. Suzie Yang and her Team have saved me from a path of dental decay and what would have proved to be a terrible amount of horrible pain. As a result of over zealous brushing, I have been hearing about my receding gums and that I would eventually have to deal with it. The only method seemingly known to the practice of dentistry to ‘repair’ a receding gum line was and is the barbaric grafting procedure-​taking skin from the roof of your mouth, grafting it on to the gum line, then suturing. Only a small area can be done at a time and it involves a world of pain and time to heal before attacking more. There’s no way I was going to go through that. I know many that have. Horrible experience. I started doing some homework and found my answer — Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation. There are only a handful of DDS that are trained in performing this amazing, modern, treatment of the future. This is how I found Dr. Suzie Yang. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with our results! To think I ever even entertained the notion of having to undergo the barbaric method of grafting makes me shudder. Dr. Yang is a true artist. I never thought that I would enjoy seeing my dentist but Dr. Suzie and her amazing team have changed that. If you have receding gums, call Dr. Suzie Yang for a consultation. No longer is there anything to be afraid of or put off going to your dentist for a cleaning or whatever because you live in denial land about your gum issue. I am so happy and my gums look amazing. Thank you Dr. Yang and the Team. Oh yeah, and I never had to wait around in the waiting room for my scheduled appointment. My appointment time always turned out to be well, you guessed it, MY appointment time. Soothing dentistry (artistry in this case) is the right description.
Thank you so much, Dr. Yang. I am forever grateful.

When I first came into this office, the first thing I noticed was how nice it looked– it reminded me of a nice hotel lobby. I went here for a check-​up and a deep cleaning. The ladies in the front office I believe their names were Lily and Sam were very nice and greeted me promptly. In many dental offices I’ve been to I had to wait a long time, but not here! The last time I was in, I had x-​rays done and a deep cleaning. The dental assistant was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. We had a good short conversation. I met Dr. Yang who was also very nice and took a look at my X-​Rays and told me that I needed a deep cleaning (not much of a big surprise since I honestly get too lazy to floss most of the time :-(. I was then moved to another room where the hygienist Stella, did the deep cleaning for me. She was very sweet and careful to not hurt me. Every now and then she would ask me if I was okay during the whole process. As much as many people (like me) hate going to the dentist, this place made being at the dentist a lot easier and a lot less painful. I would recommend this place to anyone!

The care and concern are exceptional! From the front office staff to the hygienist and Dr. Yang, the attention and hospitality is excellent. Not easy compliments to earn for a dentist, but they do easily!

For years when drinking or eating anything cold, really bothered me, however it seemed this year had gotten worse. When our family moved to Fremont recently, I consulted a new dentist and she recommended I receive «grafting» on my gums, which was offered through another specialist in her office. After discussing my needs with this specialist, to complete all the «grafting» required, would cost me a little more than $ 10K. Knowing a friend of mine works at Dr. Ganji and Dr. Yang’s dental office, I decided to have a second opinion completed.
Dr. Yang assured me that what my dentist’s office «recommended» with all the «graft» work was not required. But to focus on the areas which were most critical, those gums which have receded to the point of what is causing my sensitivity. Therefore, my total cost, including what my insurance covers is $ 3K.
My testimony with what Dr. Yang has done, is the word «amazing». She insured I felt no pain, her office made sure I was distracted from all the noise and any concept of what gory details happening around me were covered up. I was able to go to work that afternoon, with a slight case of numbness, however no pain. I slept well that night, still no pain and woke up, as if nothing happened.
Additionally, if I were to utilize the original specialist from the dentist office, recovery time would have been substantial, as she was still operating under the old way of «grafting». With the recommendation of not being able to eat specific items, like spicy food for at least 6 weeks. Being the type of person who loves spicy food, I do not know how I was going to survive that long.
After 1 week of the surgery, I accidentally ate something spicy and yet again felt no discomfort. During my 2^nd week, follow up appointment, my gums and the collagen applied are working in tandem, as they have shown my gums to be back to original state.
I am ecstatic with the results and look forward to after 6 weeks of recovery time, when I no longer worry about eating or drinking anything too cold!
I highly recommend utilizing Dr. Ganji and Dr. Yang for your dental and «teeth grafting» needs, especially if you are sensitive to pain.

I’ve been coming here for a long time now and it’s about time I wrote a review. First of all I grew up with british education about teeth. I am a Brit that does not have those pearly whites I see walking around town!
Since coming to this office I have learnt to take much better care of my teeth. In fact just got back from seeing Dr Ganji to fix a chip in the rear or my front toth and I couldn’t be happier — not only is the chip fixed but my two front teeth look better than they have in a decade (seriously).
I’ve actually seen the vibe of the practice change over the years, it was good when I started and it’s great now. I appreciate Stella, Dr Ganji, Dr Yang and the whole crew a bunch.
I’m trying to do my bit in looking after my gnashers, I personally think they do theirs and some.

This practice should be closed down by the Dental Board for trying to scam and sell their patients on procedures and services that are not needed. We go to a dentist because we TRUST them to be an expert and tell us what we need for healthy teeth and gums — not so they can scam us for money for their fancy office.
I have always been told that I have healthy teeth and gums. I’ve been going to Dr Ganji and Yang for 3 years and always felt a little uncomfortable about the experience. Dr. Ganji is never friendly… always Always felt like I was trying to be sold something or being told that I need a service… such as extra sealant, or a deep cleaning, or a new mouth guard… the list goes on.
I went for a routine cleaning last year — the hygienist and Dr Yang told me my teeth and gums look great… then I went back 6 months later and they told me that I need a deep cleaning because there’s so much build up under my gums. I was surprised and questioned it because I couldn’t understand how my gums could go from ‘looking great’ to needing a deep cleaning in just 6 months — especially because I floss almost every day.
I decided to get a second opinion from a periodonist. He did an examination of my gums, looked at my xrays and read the report from Dr Ganji’s office. He looked at me and said ‘not only are your teeth perfect, but I haven’t seen gums this healthy in a long time… you don’t need a deep cleaning, you need a new dentist’.
so with that — I will never give another dime to this office… they really should be reported for abusing their license to make extra money off of people.

I think the dentists are staff here are really nice people. Their office is also very welcoming, which I appreciate.
BUT, I ended up leaving this dentist because I always felt like they were trying to give me unnecessary treatments. Here are just a few examples over the course of a couple of years.
— Insisted I use fluoride, but omitted to tell me my insurance did not cover. Was like $ 25, but still, you need to let me know these things
— Insisted I needed a custom made mouth guard because I was grinding my teeth in my sleep. I don’t grind in my sleep, I do while I work. So, I attempted to kick this habit, which I did and never had a problem again. That would have been a waste of like $ 300.
— Insisted I needed a «deep cleaning» when I go to the dentist every six months and take care of my teeth. People, my teeth are healthy! At this point I had enough and went to a new dentist. The new dentist did a cleaning and although they said I had a bit of extra tarter, they cleaned it right off without charging me extra like these people wanted to do.
— Oh yea, and the selling of the toothbrush. I mean, I know this is a business, but it’s awkward that you do that.

Hands down-​best dentist office. Luxuriously furnished to keep your comfort in mind. They have given me excellent care and tolerated my insane schedule. Ive been coming for about 5 years now, love my cleanings, invisiline treatment turned out AMAZING. YOU’VE FOUND YOUR DENTIST!

Just a quick note to highly recommend Dr. Greg Ganji, as I have been very happy with the dental care I have received since I switched over to Greg and Suzie Yang’s dental practice.
Greg is precise and efficient. I just got a new crown to replace an old one (again from a past dentist). Greg numbed the area perfectly, so I was not in any discomfort, and he went right to work. The drilling was not as intense as I expected, I was rather comfortable, I (and more importantly my teeth and jaw) left the session feeling great!
This quality and care has really helped me remove the sense of dread and avoidance I used to experience before going to the dentist.
Thank you Greg and Suzy for the great dental work!

I really must say I enjoyed going in to see Drs. Ganji and Yang. The office is beautiful, the staff are friendly, there is a table set with tea and one can request a cd player with choice of cd’s while undergoing treatment. Stella, the hygienist, is fantastic.
I did switch to a new dentist much closer to my work and home. The reason I subtract one star from Dr. Yang’s review is that her office failed to forward my x-​rays in a timely fashion, the result being that I had to pay for a new set ($ 242) that wasn’t covered by insurance. I emailed Dr. Yang’s office about this snafu a couple of months ago, but got no response to my inquiry.
But, loved the view from her office, got friendly, professional service and was only left in the waiting room long enough to enjoy a cup of green tea…

If you have copious amounts of time to fix ongoing billing issues and want to be billed for procedures without formal informed consent, then this is the place to go! Unfortunately, my life is too busy for that!
After four year with these folks, I am leaving because the billing department is horrible. I had my teeth cleaned in March and was later sent a bill because they told me my insurance coverage changed (which is incorrect on their end). They blamed me for not knowing about the change and told me that I am responsible for any costs not covered by insurance. They even told me that out-​of-​pocket costs are NOT discussed with clients upfront because everything is an «estimate,» but any procedures that they complete or «suggest (up-​sell)» is the client’s financial responsibility outside of insurance coverage. There is no full disclosure of out-​of-​pocket costs to clients, which is completely unethical and POOR business practice. So In theory, you can be sent a bill for $ 1000 out-​of-​pocket without knowing beforehand! And good luck getting any billing issue (s) rectified because they are so disorganized.
Similar reports can be found by other reviewers below (Adrienne C, Brandon R, Michelle A, et al.).
I would not recommend this place to any of my friends, family, or acquaintances at all.

I apologize for the length. The basic outline: They’re great. The remaining chapters are optional reading.
There I was today, back at Dr.‘s Ganji and Yang’s and was surprised to realize it’s been four years that I’ve been seeing them. I wasn’t sure if I had written a review but I just looked and lo and behold I had written a positive review almost four years ago. I feel just as strongly about their practice as I did then if not more so
I am anything but a prolific reviewer but when someone is truly outstanding I try to remember to Unilocal about it.
Most of the staff are the same folks as when I first started there. Every single person I have encountered, every single time I’ve been there has been extremely pleasant. I can think but of only a few places that I can say that about.
I think both Dr.‘s are incredible. They have achieved outstanding credentials and while being completely professional they have created an environment with a certain style and ease that it’s actually a nice experience going whether for a simple cleaning or a dental implant. Maybe it’s something about a husband and wife in practice together that makes it kind of special. Coincidentally the dentists who I was sorry to leave behind in San Diego when we moved back up here were also a husband and wife.
Dr. Ganji has had to do complex work on my teeth over the years. Some of which has necessitated him referring me to a dental surgeon for different portions of the restoration (kudos to both Dr. Edmond Bedrossian and Dr. Len Tolstunov who are also top notch in their fields). Greg is a good guy, thorough, thoughtful, gentle, very clear in explaining things and creating treatment plans that work for me. I’ve only had some work done by Suzie a couple of times but she always makes me feel completely comfortable. They are simply lovely people. I also think it’s pretty cool that they are avid surfers and have chased waves around the globe.
My partner was blessed with a beautiful set of teeth who also sees both Dr. Ganji and Dr. Yang and he feels just as strongly as I do about them. My first dentist I had as a kid I saw up until the age of 23. In the intervening 20 years before meeting these doctors I had lived in several other cities and had therefore experienced a long succession of dentists in which to compare and these two are truly special.

Going to the dentist is never fun, at least so I thought.
Everything about these guys is great. Dr. Yang is a pro, she kept me very informed on what was happening and what my options were, the entire staff was extremely friendly and attentive to my patient needs. Ive had three appointments with them and all have been an extremely positive experience. Initially went here because a friend recommended them, and I have been very happy the entire time. Thanks Dr. Ganji and Dr. Yang!
