Dr. Brian Kong graduated from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco and received his undergraduate degree from UCLA where he studied Economics and Psychology. Although he enjoyed living the city life in Los Angeles and San Francisco, he returned to his hometown of San Jose, and is loving his short traffic-free commute to work. Hes a member of the Santa Clara Dental Society, Golden State Spear Study Club, and the Silicon Valley International Team for Implantology Study Club..

Dr. Brian looks forward to going to work each day and relishes spending time and getting to know his patients. He believes in providing the best, least invasive treatment possible, while using the latest materials ,techniques, and technology. His goal is to help his patients achieve beautiful, healthy smiles in a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. In order to stay at the top of his field, Dr. Brian takes numerous postgraduate dental education courses each year, studying with some of the best dentists in the world. Hes been across the globe learning about dentistry, including Germany, Boston, and Scottsdale.

In his free time, Dr. Brian loves to snowboard, play basketball, golf, fish, wander around Home Depot, or play with his yellow lab, Bear. Hes hooked on online shopping, Costco samples, and Togos sandwiches. Its difficult to pry him away from the TV when any UCLA, Warriors, Niners, or Giants game is on and he thinks the television DVR is one of mans greatest inventions in case any of those teams are playing at the same time. He also actually admits he should floss better.

Dr. Ariel Canda received her Bachelors degree in Biology at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas and continued to the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry for her doctorate. She moved to Orange County after graduating from dental school to give the warmer weather and the change of environment a try. After practicing there, she realized how much she loved the Bay Area and decided to move back to establish her career and her life.

She grew up as an Air Force brat but calls Las Vegas, Nevada her hometown. She visits her family in Vegas whenever she gets the chance. If shes not home working on an arts and crafts project or binge watching her TV shows (or doing both at the same time), you will probably find her at Michaels, at an ice cream shop, in a kickboxing class, or at Disneyland!

I love this dental office! The front desk, hygienists, and dentists are very personable and professional. The cleaning services are quick but they take their time to answer any and all of my questions and concerns. There is always ample parking and the office is easy to find.

I hadn't been to a dentist in 3-1/2 years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Kong's dental hygienist was so gentle and accomplished that I felt totally relaxed. Dr. Kong's staff and patients were all masked, and I felt totally safe. I have recommended Willow Glen Dental to several friends already. Thanks, Dr. Kong!

Willow Glen dental has continuously been the BEAT dentistry professionals I have ever been to so I continue to return for all my years near or far. X-rays are quick, digital, and easy. Also, exacting with minimal X-ray. They gave me a full body shield from the X-ray each time. Top-quality experienced team. They also will refer you to the best professionals that will service your teeth as you need for your health, safety, and/or beauty. Staff are always kindly-supporting, friendly and complimenting, and extremely-knowledgeable in their field (based on my low to high experience)... Whether it's finding your insurance on a whim, finding ways to support your life/financial/circumstances/needs, giving you reinsurance that you and/or your insurance is okay/good/great, as well as giving you reassurance that we will never discriminate, and we believe in unity as well as diversity, based on my personal experience over the years. the review may be long, but it is authentic, specifically Dr. Kanada THE BEST, recently hygienist Kasandra (hope I got the spelling or I will correct) was THE BEST top 100, and Dr.Kong can look at you from far and know your dental needs. I have many years experience and maybe my first review for Willow Glen dental but I should have done it sooner. Personally, I care for others more than myself, and tend to forget about my needs, but at Willow Glen I feel taken care for. All take care of my dental needs, but as an extra they make me feel confident and beautiful. This is an honest review, not paid for. If anything I paid for it, and took my time to write this better the people.

An excellent dental practice. A conservative, needs-based practice with no pushiness/overselling of procedures like some other places I've been to in the past. All of the staff are professional, efficient and personable, with good oral health as their goal. I've been going there now for quite a few years now. Highly recommended.

I've been a patient of Dr. Canda since 2019 and it has been nothing less than an excellent experience. Dr. Canda and staff are fun, personable, and, most of all, they are meticulous in the work they perform. I've never like a number and that means a lot when it comes to healthcare. Dr. Canda is great to work with. Her advice, guidance, and work are of true excellence. She's responsive to any questions and does her best to accommodate my crazy schedule. Thank you all for being sooo awesome and fun to work with!

Courteous, knowledgeable and helpful staff explain everything that they are doing. I decided to try Willow Glen dental after being dissatisfied with my current dentist. I felt comfortable right away. Before my initial appointment I completed a much more thorough intake form that asked questions about things that I never knew were related to my dental health. I wish I had come here years ago.

As a patient of this practice since 1976, I have always seen my regular dentist. The practice has grown, and as such has undergone changes. Unfortunately, I'm disappointed yet again that my daughter's appointment was not with the dentist we requested. She was not happy being seen by another in the office. It was a surprise to her. Please stop reassigning patients without advance notice. Had we known her preferred dentist was not available or too busy, we would have changed the appointment.

I've been coming here for years and they are always on top of the schedule and they're very efficient get get the job done and get you in and out but not sacrificing the human touch. Always friendly always efficient always thorough. The front staff especially is very good at their wait list. If you have to move an appointment they put you on the wait list and they really contact you when things become available. Exceptionally efficient front desk which is rare.
