  • Most of our patients never know they have received an injection. That is because of our virtually Painless Injection technique. A topical anesthetic is applied to the tissue with a cotton swab, and this anesthetic painlessly numbs the spot where the doctor will give you one of the most gentle injections.
  • Care Injectable anesthetics, such as Lidocaine, prevent pain in a specific area of your mouth during treatment by blocking the nerves that sense or transmit pain, therefore, numbing the tissue of the mouth. This causes the temporary numbness often referred to as a fat lip feeling. Injectable anesthetics may be used in such procedures as filling cavities, preparing teeth for crowns, or treating gum disease.
  • We want you to be as comfortable as possible after your care. We often send our patients home with a prescription of non-narcotic analgesics to relieve any post treatment discomfort. These include aspirin, acetaminophen, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen. For more involved procedures, a narcotic analgesic may be prescribed for your comfort.
  • Keeping up with the latest technology and having a high tech office is not only more efficient, it is better for you and better for the environment. For example, our digital radiography generates 90 percent less radiation than traditional X-rays, which is both safe and eco-friendly. Our CEREC treatments are also highly efficient. It is important that our patients know they have choices in choosing health care that is environmentally conscious. Our office takes pride in thinking green and inventing new ways around the office to conserve our resources.

    Not only does digital charting, and record-keeping save paper, it is more accurate and efficient. Your health information is easier for our office to access, and easier to send by email when needed. Having a paperless office makes tracking changes to your health and dental history both time and energy efficient.

    Your dental visits can be paid for by cash, check, or credit card at the time of service. We also accept most major dental insurances and the Care Credit Card. To discuss your payment options, insurance coverage, or inquire about financing with CareCredit, please call (916) 866-9722.

    Our compassionate, friendly dental team has high standards of quality and integrity. We are motivated to achieve the best result for our family of patients. Our dental team is dedicated to providing the best possible care and comfort for all of your dental needs.

    Hello! I was inspired by my father to go into the career of dental hygiene. I worked through high school assisting him in his dental office and went to college at the SRJC where I completed my A.S. in Dental Hygiene in 2011.

    Went in for teeth cleaning and x-rays today and the experience was educational and enjoyable. Dr Von Chan and her staff are warm and engaging. This is no ordinary dental experience- this is excellent dentistry in a safe and caring environment.

    I feel completely cared for and taken care of with sensitivity and compassion whenever I am treated by Dr. Von Chan's office. Dr. Chan did an excellent job on my new crown (all in one day), and she saw me immediately when I needed to have an adjustment made on my night guard because of the new crown. I am so glad I have Dr. Von Chan as my dentist and I adore her wonderful office. They are truly the best.

    Dr Chan and her assistant Sarah did the most incredible job with a filling on my 4 year old. They made my daughter feel so comfortable on a procedure that normally would have been terrifying. We will be Dr Chan's patients for life! Thank you both so much!

    I've suffered TMJ pain, and resulting headaches, for years--decades even--and Dr. Chan is the first doctor to truly listen and help me. She has actually relieved the pain! I can't express my gratitude enough!

    Unclear on the concept of patient customer service - I received a bill from their office which was several hundred dollars above what would have been covered by my insurance. I called the office to clarify the billing discrepancy, and was informed that Dr Chan had decided to drop MetLife - go out of network. Then I was told to find another doctor who would accept MetLife. The entire reason I switched to MetLife in the first place was to go to Dr Chan... I did not receive any notification that this was going to occur, nor was I informed when my wife came in for the work. I was very disappointed how they treated my family after going there for many years... This is an unacceptable business practice, and I will never return.

    Dr. Von Chan is amazing. When my 5.5 year old refused the nitrous oxide for a cavity fix, I panicked and cringed in the corner. However, this did not deter Dr. Chan. She was super in tune with the kiddo and managed to inject the anesthesia into the gum so stealthily that kiddo had no idea it was happening. I mean.... Wow.

    My wife and I have been coming here for over year and we have always been more than satisfied with their practice. Dr. Chan is very knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough and has the most modern technology in her office. Her staff has always been very friendly and accommodating. Overall, the best dentist practice that we've been to. If your looking for a new dentist, stop looking and give them a call!
