Very happy to have found Dr. Chan & can’t recommend him enough. After my initial visit, his staff had a printout of the work I needed done showing what my insurance would cover & what I would need to pay out of pocket which was very helpful. I have terrible anxiety when it comes to going to the dentist and Dr. Chan & his staff are extremely understanding and supportive of that. Dr. Chan does a wonderful job of making sure you’re aware of everything that is going on and making sure you’re okay throughout any procedure. I did end up needing two urgent visits for fillings - he & his staff were quick to get me in as soon as possible which was very much appreciated. Still not a big fan of going to the dentist but it’s not as bad going to see Dr. Chan!

My experience at Classic Dental Smiles was one of the best I have had in a dental capacity. The staff was friendly and very efficient. They were willing to take the time to answer all my questions and explain their policies.Dr. Chan was not only an excellent dentist but had a very calming presence. He was interested in me as a person as well as a patient. He explained everything he was doing and constantly checked on my well being.As our former dentist has retired, our entire family of 7 adults have definitely agreed that Dr. Chan will be our permanent dentist and are very happy to have found him.

Highly Recommend! Dr. Chan and his entire staff are very professional, knowledgeable and skilled. They use state-of-the-art technology and keep up with the latest techniques in the field. Thus far have had two of the most thorough cleanings and a painless, smooth crown replaced. Very glad I found this practice!

Ive been on the hunt for a good dentist pretty much my entire adult life since moving to San Diego. Dr. Chan is the first doctor that took his time to listen to my concerns, and make a common sense approach to addressing my oral health. Finally I did not feel like my dentist was guessing, and I felt confident in my treatment plan. I come from a family with a dental background, so I know doctors like this are a diamond in the rough. I am just happy to finally have landed here after many attempts all over the county. I will be referring my own patients, family, and friends because I trust his honesty and I know they are in good hands in his office.

Excellent experience.Dr. Chan took the time to thoroughly explain all issues and gave me a rundown of what needed to be taken care of immediately and what could wait. I liked that there were pictures and x-rays to reference on a large screen as each issue was being discussed.The office is very clean, staff is friendly, and the equipment looks much more modern than your average Dental office. Parking is easy and free. Will definitely be returning for future Dental work.

I no longer have a fear of “the dread” of going to the dentist!The entire staff is so warm, welcoming & accommodating.The state of the art equipment coupled with the calming atmosphere makes for a whole new experience of ease for a visit to the dentist.They are sensitive to monetary costs of patients who do not have insurance & provide a program perfect for cash discounts.Of course, the best part is the dentist himself Brain H. Chan, DDS. He is very thorough & easily understood in explaining all procedures & goes out of his way to make each procedure seem-less & as pain free as possible.I had a crown & a filling done in less than 2 hrs. with zero pain. (Never experienced anything like this before)!The provided sunglasses & the individualized music including, headphones is just another added bonus.I appreciate & recommend him & his staff highly for any & all dentist needs.Thank you Classic Dental Smiles for taking such good care of me & my mouth!

Dr. Chan and the Classic Smile dental team are consistently careful and skillful with their excellent work!During my most recent visit, they prepared my tooth, created a crown, and installed it and were gentle & detailed in their care. With the anesthesia shots, Dr. Chan takes his time so that you don’t even feel it. The tooth looks as if it’s my own and feels perfect. Thank you so much!!!

Highly recommend!! I had the most thorough initial exam of my life here plus the most fast and painless fillings! The doctor was kind and answered each of my questions thoroughly. All my visits have been during the pandemic, and I felt safe every time! Masks were worn perfectly by all and patients waited outside in their cars until called inside.

For my teeth cleaning and partial crown experience at Dr. Chans Practice...From the front desk ladies, to Dr. Chan and his assistant with a personable manner that put me at ease in addition to appreciating their very capable expertise and professionalism, the visits were both amazing.Thank you very much for your follow-up this evening. All is good. 😁Best Regards,Lena Boyer

I have been to different dentists due change in work locations and by far Classic Dental Smiles team has been the best. From the time I scheduled an appointment to get the dental work done, I appreciate the quick and caring response from everyone. Dr.Chan used the latest technique to make my dental visit as comfortable as it can be. Thank you!

Wonderful office with a lovely crew! Being a college student I have a tough time with scheduling, Classic Dental Smile is always super understanding of that and very flexible, helping me find times that work for me. They also care very much about their patients and reach out for follow ups post-appointment, something I’ve never had done for me elsewhere. I would recommend anyone in the area to give them a visit! Even if you’re not in the area, I live in LA but still come here because they feel like home :)Thank you Classic Dental Smile!

I was very anxious to have a procedure done on a very sensitive molar. Dr Chan was so patient with me answering all my questions, several times. It took me a long time to finally make the appointment; the procedure was quick, painless and he did such a great job! I am so happy! I can now drink liquids that are colder than room temperature! I put up with the sensitivity for too long! I highly recommend Dr Brian Chan

I LOVE Dr. Chan and his team. Sonja always makes me feel welcome when I call or have an appointment. Ive had both Hygienists, Julie and Kelly, and they are both wonderful and gentle.As someone who gets more and more nervous about the dentist as I get older (which I feel like should be the opposite), I really appreciate a team that makes me feel comfortable. They dont even go out of their way to do so, thats just the way way are. Ive had a couple fillings and replacement fillings done, and its never a bad experience. Dr. Chan even calls you to check in on you at night!I had waited a while before I had insurance that would cover my visits here, and in that time I had tried three different dentists. Exhausted, I just paid out of pocket for a cleaning with Dr. Chan, and it was such a difference versus the other dentists. Finally, I got the right insurance, and I havent looked back. Honestly, I live in the area but if I ever move, Ill keep coming here because its such a wonderful environment.You wont regret coming here, I promise you. Its amazing.

I needed to get some extensive work done, and I had to rush due to Covid. Dr. Chan did a fantastic job breaking the treatment into manageable pieces while working with my insurance budget. The office staff is amazing as well. Sonja went through all the gymnastics of calling my insurance and figuring out what was and wasnt covered so we could further optimize the treatment plan. In all the fillings and other work I needed it was the best experience Ive ever had at the dentist. Dr. Chans equipment is state of the art and impressive as well.I would highly recommend anyone to Classic Dental Smiles.

I had a fantastic experience here. I had work on two occaisons and I had a good experience both times. Dr. Chan and Julie were very patient and answered any and all questions that I had. Beyond the high quality services provided here, each and every one of the people working here are quite friendly to all the patients. I think it is especially impressive during this pandemic that the staff are all very committed towards safety and have many safety practices in place to keep the environment comfortable and clean. I would definitely recommend going here in the future if high quality dental services are what you are seeking.

Dr. Chan and his staff always makes me feel comfortable and well cared for whenever I go in. They talk me through the process and make it a point to go above and beyond especially in this coronavirus time. They have taken precautions to do check ins virtually and we have our temperature checked before we get seated!

After moving down to San Diego a couple years ago, I needed to find a local dentist that I trusted. After a bad experience with a dentist office in Mira Mesa, I located Classic Dental Smiles and Dr. Brian Chan near my work in Rancho Bernardo. The staff is extremely friendly and recently squeezed me in to get some work done before I was going to lose dental coverage in less than a month. I would highly recommend Dr. Chan and his staff if you are looking for dental care in San Diego. He is worth the drive from Pacific Beach.

I highly recommend Dr. Chan and Classic Dental Smiles. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the location is easy to get to, the office is beautiful and spotless, and they have the latest in technology. Best of all is their personal touch. After having some small cavities filled (which was easy and stress-free!), Dr. Chan personally called me that evening to make sure everything was still going well and to answer any questions I might have. FIVE STARS!

Was looking for a new dentist when I moved to SD last year and have been very happy with Brian and the great team at Classic Dental. From the minute you arrive, everyone is super nice and knowledgeable and have been great during this time of COVID to ensure that patients feel safe and comfortable. Highly recommended.

I was recently forced to quit my childhood family dentist(due to retirement) and definitely was wary about trying someone new. I absolutely wish I would have ventured out sooner. The level of care, overall knowledge, technology/methods, and all around atmosphere/facility are exceptional. My prior dentist was a nice person, but you don’t know what you’re missing until you see it for yourself. I really do recommend this office to anyone and will be moving my family there as well.

I highly recommend Dr. Chan if you’re looking for a clean, high tech, efficient and friendly dentist office!

Review №28

Easily the best dentist I have ever had. I have been looking for a dentist like this for years. Highly skilled and efficient and explains everything clearly. Unlike some other dentists who try to put a crown on your teeth when all you need is a filling, Dr. Chan does not add on additional unnecessary work, but fixes all your dental problems before they get to the point where they get much worse. The office has all the latest dental equipment . Staff (Sonja and Andrea) are very friendly. Love Jessica, the dental assistant .This dental office is a keeper.

By far, the BEST Dentist = Dr. Chan for our entire family. Very skilled, professional, high tech & well up to date with the latest technology with a calm demeanor, great sense of humor, excellent communication skills, follows up with a personal call after every procedure. Weve been coming to this office for 31 years. When our dentist retired, we continued to come here since he took over the practice. His staff are equally wonderful & outstanding. The clinic is nicely decorated & very clean. Their pricing is competitive. Definitely, our family dentist forever!

One of the best Dentist office’s in Souther California. Dr. Brian Chan and his team make you feel at home when getting your teeth worked on. Dr. Chan’s assistant Jessica is very compassionate when I had my cavity taken care of and made sure I was doing okay during the whole procedure. I always leave their office in no pain at all and feeling great.

Classic Dental is a great office for the most advanced care for your dental health. The staff is kind and helpful and Dr. Chan is a skilled dentist. I have had a lot of dental work done over the last 50 years and Dr. Chan did a beautiful job prepping 2 of my teeth for crowns and then made the new crowns for them. No down time for me! They are perfect! It is also important to know that Dr. Chan made a follow up call to me that evening to make sure everything was going well after the procedure. I look forward to my future visits to Classic Dental. I know I can count on each one to be a positive experience.

This truly is the best dental office in town! Everyone is very courteous and professional. From the moment you walk in the door they treat you as if your time is more valuable than theirs so any wait time is non existent. I have never had an issue with any of the work done.

I needed a dentist after recently moving from DC to San Diego and was very fortunate to find Dr Chans practice. He and his staff are very welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. Dr Chan is very thorough in his examination and takes time to fully explain any recommended procedures. And for those of you who hate pain like I do, Dr Chan replaced 5 fillings and I didnt feel a thing! If youre looking for a dentist, this is the place to go. They care about their patients, communicate well and will take great care of your teeth.

I am thrilled I found Dr. Chans office! First impressions are crucial and I saw Dr. Chan initially for a second opinion. The moment you enter the office you will note it is extremely neat and clean, and the receptionists are friendly, welcoming, and professional. Dr. Chan is the same (friendly, welcoming, professional) but what impressed me most about him the thoughtfulness he incorporates into the excellent care he provides. I was so happy with his consultation that I immediately switched and recommended my husband do the same. If you are looking for a new dentist in RB-definitely give this office a try. You will not be disappointed!

Ive been going to Classic Dental Smiles on a regular basis since Dr. Chan took over the practice several years ago. Dr. Chan and his staff are all knowledgeable and skilled, and my appointments are always a pleasant experience. I also like how he keeps up with the latest technology, including one of those 3d xray machines, and another machine to create dental implants right there in the office during the same appointment (no need to wait several weeks for it to be manufactured elsewhere). I highly recommend Classic Dental Smiles to everyone in need of a great dentist.

Dr. Chan is a class act. This was was my first appointment with him and never before has a dentist given me so much individual time to discuss my dental needs. He even identifies some related chronic sleep patterns that he can treat also! I would give him more than five stars if it was possible. Thank you, Dr. Chan, I appreciate all the knowledge you talked with me about.

Dr. Chan and the entire office staff are very professional and friendly. I’m always feared seeing dentist for any type of appointment. Dr. Chan made every dental visit pleasant and calming. He has a very gentle hand when performing dental works, he is also very honest and never try to upsell you unnecessary work. Intelligent and honest doctor! Me and my husband both getting our teeth taken care of there. Definitely recommend him!

I enjoyed going to Dr. Chan’s office for dental care. He’s meticulous, patient, and has good bedside manners. I didn’t expect him to follow up on filling replacements but he did personally call to check in. The staff are very pleasant from scheduling, to rooming, and to cleaning my teeth with great care. Finally, I appreciated the text message reminder the day of my appointment; I almost overslept and the text message woke me up. :)

My family and I been patients of Dr. Brian Chan for years and have always received excellent care. The office is very modern with all the latest dentistry equipment. Last time I needed a crown, he was able to make it on-site, same day, no more temporary crown or having to wait 2 weeks. More recently I had 2 fillings done and Dr. Chan made quick work of the process and had them completed in less than an hour while still ensuring maximum patient comfort. The office staff is always both professional and friendly. Say hi to Sonja, the office manager, she’s always cheerful and pleasant to work with.

All in a lunch break:Dr. Chan and his staff are awesome. They are friendly, proficient and fast! I had a painful broken filling and was able to get an appointment fast. Dr. Chan fixed my tooth( which ended up having a good sized cavity under the broken filling ) quickly and practically pain free all in the time of a lunch hour. He did a local block that numbed just a couple of teeth and afterwards I ate my lunch ! I’ve never had such a great dental procedure experience. Thank you Dr. Chan and staff!

Review №49

Dr. Chan was excellent in his dental care. I had to have 2 fillings recently and even though Ive had trouble with numbing agents working well for me, and other dentists starting their work before it started working, Dr. Chan used a new numbing injection agent to make the process less painful and helped me to feel at ease much faster. The fillings themselves were quick and Dr. Chan made sure to shape them in a way that enables me to bite and chew normally right away. The whole process was much faster and painless than expected.The front office and the general process of working with the staff here has also been great!

Review №51

Before going to Classic Dental Smiles, the last time I had gone to a dental office was about 7 years prior. Luckily my oral health wasnt in shambles, but Dr. Chan recommended I get work done for the few things he did notice, most notably a filling. Dr. Chan and his team works quickly, precisely, and painlessly. I also like that Dr. Chan takes a lot of pictures to show you visuals of your oral health as well as a 3-D imaging of your oral cavity- very helpful in understanding whats going on with your mouth and what is/will be worked on. If you are looking for a transparent Dentist who prioritizes your health the most, consider visiting Dr. Chan and his team.

Review №53

I find Dr Chan and his team to be superbly professional at every station within his practice. I came under Dr Chan’s care when he acquired the business from my former and now retired dentist. I felt comfortable with Dr Chan on our introductory visit and now, after a couple repaired old fillings, a crown, and an inlay (I appreciate the tooth conserving approach), I consider him one of the best dentists Ive encountered in my almost 60 years of dental visits.When Dr Chan recommends work, he provides supporting information about why in the form of high resolution photos or views of x-rays. He has a professional and friendly chair-side manner that makes me comfortable and confident in his treatment plan. He and his assistant Jessica work extremely well together as a team.On the dental hygiene side of the practice, Kelly is another bright spot in Dr Chan’s office. She’s efficient, thorough, and pleasantly informative about how I can improve my own dental care activities.Completing the team is Sonia who presents a friendly welcome to the office, schedules my appointments, makes friendly reminder calls, and works with my insurance company.Based on my experiences, I highly recommend Brian H. Chan, DDS, Inc.

Review №55

Dr. Chan and his team are amazing. Ive been putting off going to the dentist for a few years do to multiple bad experiences with a previous dentist. Dr. Chan did a full exam of my mouth and talked to me about my anxiety and how to handle my treatment plan to get my dental health back in order.Dr. Chan is extremely respectful of my needs and goes the extra mile to make sure that Im comfortable and at ease. I forgot my headphone adapter at home but Dr. Chan had that covered too! He had a drawer of headphones and adapters so that I could listen to my music while he fixed my teeth.Im not a big fan of the sonic cleaner so the dental hygienist took the time to manually clean my teeth.Dr. Chans office has the latest technology in dental care. From digital impressions to printing the crown in the office in 30 mins. He also has the latest 3D imaging technology to ensure that all problem areas are found. As an engineer, I truly value someone that invests in these technological improvements!!!I am so grateful that I found him and have told everyone at work to go him. Everyone at Classic Dental smiles is wonderful and this has truly been the best experience Ive ever had with a dentist!

Review №56

The best dentist ever! I went to my previous dentist for over 25 years and when he retired he recommended Dr. Chan. On my first visit Dr. Chan did a complete review of my teeth. He was very patient and thorough and was able through technology and in calm normal language explain and show me everything about my teeth. In the last two years I have had a crown, a root canal and a filling from Dr. Chan. His confidence and knowledge gives me great comfort. When discussing an upcoming procedure I especially appreciate when he says – “If this was my tooth this is what I would want done”. You must know that Dr. Chan is truly a state of the art dentist, gifted in practice, gifted in pleasant patient/doctor interaction, and makes any anxiety about a dental procedure disappear. I recommend him to all my family and friends. Dont wait - make an appointment!

Had a successful experience at Classic Dental. Dr. Chan is very personable and takes the time to check in with how you are feeling while undergoing treatment. I did not feel like he was trying to get me to buy a bunch of add on extras that other dentists have tried. He kept it simple. He also took the time to call me later in the evening after each procedure to just see how I was doing which was very much appreciated.

Review №59

Dr. Chan and his staff provided the best dental care I have experienced in decades. I chipped a tooth over the Thanksgiving holiday and his staff got me in right away to have it assessed and repaired. Insurance benefits and co-pays were clearly and accurately explained. I had a few cavities that needed filling also, and Dr. Chan was able to fix everything the same day saving me another visit. Dr. Chans skill and efficiency are very impressive. I appreciated that he explained everything he was doing during the procedures, as well. The equipment used at the office is state of the art. A detailed xray taken there revealed a potential problem that would have otherwise been missed. Very grateful for the help. Glad I found this place and I hope to continue seeing Dr. Chan for my dental care for decades to come. I highly recommend Classic Dental Smiles of Rancho Bernardo.

Dr. Brian Chan took over after my previous dentist retired. Going to the dentist can sometimes make me anxious but I was happy that there was never a negative change to an office I had come to trust for so many years. In fact Dr. Chan has only made it better by bringing in so many technological advances. Dr. Chan and his team have always been very thorough, kind, and made me feel comfortable.

The clinic is clean and new, the front desk staff are very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing. Even my kids enjoy hanging out in here. Most importantly, Dr. Chan was offering suggestions and accommodating my concerns in the most professional manner I’ve ever seen. Clear treatment play without any unnecessary recommendations like I got from other dentists. He followed up with me after my procedure and was willing to work around my schedule to accommendate my request for adjustment. The cleaning process also went smoothly. Knowing that I was in good hands gives me peace of mind, definitely recommend Dr. Chan’s team to anyone who is looking for a dental practice.

I like this Dentist since day 1. Everybody is friendly, respectful and you feel very welcome. Technology they used to diagnosed you is impressive and very easy to follow and understand it and so steps to take for your treatment. Dr is very patient and explains well what you need, what he did and what to expect after receiving treatment. He is gentle with your mouth and takes consideration of all you not only your mouth. Highly recommended for personalized, human and good service.

Review №66

Ive been seeing Dr. Chan for over 3 years. I recently had to go in to have a filling re-done. At the end of the appointment, he wanted to run some x-rays to see if I may need a root canal, since he spotted something suspicious. Sure enough, results came back showing that I needed a root canal.A few things regarding the root canal...1) He called me that same night (8PM?) walking me through it along with the pictures. Ive had another doctor do that with me in the past, which I thought was above and beyond. Point being, I thought it was above and beyond that Dr. Chan took the time to call me when he was off the clock to walk me through it. It wasnt even a quick hey, you need a root canal - have a good night! It was a decent-length conversation because I remember running on the treadmill for a good 15-20 minutes whilst talking to him. He was helpful in managing my expectations regarding the root canal.2) Prior to this, I just remembered cringing every time i heard the word root canal, because it sounds horrible albeit knowing nothing about it. I was concerned that it was going to be a brutal experience. Honestly, it really wasnt. There was zero pain and discomfort during the operation and post-operation, despite him advising me that I may need to take some painkillers (please note, though, that your mileage may vary here). I just felt like I was going in for a normal procedure that lasted a long time haha. To mitigate that, he did offer me some Beats headphones so that I could listen to music to help the time go by, which definitely was nice. I think the next step he can make is mount a TV on the ceiling so that we can watch stuff (one can dream, right?)3) I was concerned about the cost since it was discussed during my phone call with Dr. Chan. Sonja was super responsive via email regarding the pricing of it. I did read the negative comment left by someone on Yelp regarding the lack of clear communication from the front stuff. I can sympathize with that individual and can agree that it would have been helpful if the front office clearly communicated that I am in or out of network. I wasnt blindsided by the cost, though, since a fellow coworker had advised me that Dr. Chan is considered out of network. (shouldnt it also be the patients responsibility in determining which provider is in or out of network?)All in all, I like Dr. Chan and his staff. Theyre very warm and friendly. I liked that he was playing Christmas music when I went in in December. He also seems to have some pretty cool tech for his dental equipment/devices. He seems pretty family oriented, too, given the entertaining and cute pictures that are posted in the office. Lastly, as a fan of interior design, I like some of the other artwork and the double sliding, frosted glass barn doors.

Our family loves the level of service and care from Dr. Chan and his team. His approach is very comforting and informative. Our 5 year old son (at the time) was able to have his fillings done by Dr. Chan, and I attribute that to all of the staff gently reassuring and helping him understand what was happening. We love their team and practice!

Im not exaggerating when I say that Dr. Chan and his team have changed my life! I came to him with some serious issues, and he has always been compassionate, thorough and of course highly skilled. Everyone in the office is so good at what they do! Stop searching, Dr. Chan is the best there is!

Dr. Chan and his staff are exceptional at what they do! I have no complaints from the front office to the back office. They all are very patient and understanding. Which these days is unheard of. Everyone in our household goes to this dentist office. From child to adult. I love how calm and relaxing their office always is. Sonja and Andrea are the front office gals who are always happy to help. The hygienist Julie and Kelly (hopefully, I spelled their names correctly) are very thorough. For over a year I have known that my crown has not been solid and may possibly have decay underneath. I am the worst when it comes to anesthetic, but knowing how calming and relaxed they all are, put me at ease. I had no issues with the injection, in fact I never even felt it! I was all worked up over nothing. Thank you Dr. Chan for making it painless and enjoyable. Everything else was a breeze from there. The Cerec machine also sped up the process. Instead of having to wait 2 weeks to have my crown made in a lab, then delivered and cemented - my crown only took 45 minutes total! Thank you again Dr. Chan!

I just started with Dr. Chan. Ive been into the office several times in the last few months and theyre on time. My time is valuable to me and they started at the time of my appointment and they finished when they said they would be finished. They use the latest high tech equipment. Its cool and it is efficient. The entire staff is nice, approachable, friendly and professional. Dr. Chan explains everything in laymans terms and I felt like I was responsible for my decisions. He gave me alternatives to my treatments. Also, and this was important to me, he and his staff have a great touch. It doesnt feel like Im just a piece of meat; theyre firm but gentle. Going to Classic Dental has been a great experience. I would recommend them without condition or reservation. If you need a dentist or hygienist in North San Diego county, this is where you should go.

Dr. Chan is very friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive to his patients needs. I recommend him to all my friends and family. The facility also has new dental technology which is really cool to see :) Little details like memory foam head rests on the dental chairs is a reflection of the high quality care Dr. Chan provides.His staff is equally impressive. They remember their patients names and every visit is like seeing old friends.Even though the office isnt in my neighborhood (Del Mar), it is worth the drive for me to get excellent care.

Dr. Chan is meticulous and gentle with his work. I recently had an old filling replaced and Dr. Chan was very thorough in explaining my x-rays, the procedure, and the potential risk of having a root canal (the filling itself was deep and close to my nerve). The whole procedure went smoothly and I barely felt any pain; thankfully, no root canal was needed. The staff was also vey kind and patient with explaining my dental insurance coverage. I would definitely recommend Dr. Chan to my friends and family. Thank you Dr. Chan and your staff!

My experience at Classic Dental Smiles has been exceptional. Since the first time I came in, I have greeted with a friendly, professional staff that puts my needs above everything else. Dr. Chan and his staff have been successful with attending to all of my dental needs and explain in great detail all of the work that is being performed so there is no miscommunication. I haven’t had any issues with the work that I’ve had done and am thankful the pain is gone. If you’re looking for an honest dentist that won’t pressure you and allow you to make your own decisions about your teeth, I recommend Classic Dental Smiles. I want to thank the staff for making me feel comfortable and welcome every time I visit them.

Excited to have a dentist that my husband and I can trust to make healthy decisions. I have quite a complicated case and Im thankful to have Dr. Chan walk through every step to make sure I feel comfortable with every choice to fix my smile! Whether it be routine cleanings or implants, I can depend on him to reason with me every option.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Chan for years now and he always does a fantastic job. He has such a gentle touch it’s like he was born to be a dentist. I live in LA now but I’ll drive down to San Diego just for him. Overall a great dentist and a very friendly office. Thanks Dr Chan!

Dr. Chan and his courteous staff made my dental experience such a positive one. I dread going to a dentist and I have some jacked up teeth. Dr. Chan explained all the steps and the action plan to tackle all my issues. His office has all the latest equipment and most importantly a great staff that takes incredible care of their patients. From the check in to the chair every step was thumbs up. I referred my friends to his office and he did not have to compensate for my endorsement. Everyone in this office loves what they do. From now on I am going to enjoy all my dental visits. Thanks Dr. Chan. See you soon.

As someone who avoided going to the dentist for 14 years, I was surprised at how good of an experience it could be. The entire staff here is very friendly and caring, the office is very modern and up to date with impressive technology, and everything from cleaning to crowns have been fast and painless with great results. If youre like me and dragging your feet about your teeth Id highly recommend giving them a try!

Absolutely the best dentist and staff I have ever been to. I was so lucky to have found this office. I had a lot of problems on my teeth. I needed crowns, filings and possibly root canals. I knew I was going to be spending a lot of money in getting my teeth taken care of so I wanted to make sure it was well done. I was very intimidated to actually go to a dentist and have to hear everything that I needed but Dr. Chan was always extremely professional and he never made me feel judged. He has top equipment and top quality products. I truly feel like I’m getting top quality everything. I have been there about 4-5 times in the last few months and I am so extremely happy with every procedure. I drive all the way from Chula Vista to RB to see Dr. Chan and I haven’t regretted it once. Not to mention he has the best staff. Everyone is very sweet and extremely professional. I have been and will continue to recommend Dr. Chan. I can’t imagine finding a better place for dentistry.

For a mom of four, going to the dentist takes a considerable amount of scheduling but its actually a pleasure to do it to come to Dr. Chans office. The office itself has a spa feel and the staff are so pleasant and kind that they set you at ease as soon as you step in the door.Ive known so many people go to a dentist only to end up feeling like the dentist cheated them by overcharging and doing mediocre work but Dr. Chan doesnt push you to get unnecessary procedures done and his use of the latest technology assures you that you wont be back in the office with the same problem in a few months.The integrity and excellence that is evident in all the staff and services at Classic Dental Smiles makes it the only dental office that Ive recommended to others and our friends have become satisfied clients of Dr. Chan as well!

Its always difficult to find a good dentist when you move to a new place. I was lucky to have found Classic Dental Smiles where Dr. Chan and his staff are all friendly, courteous and professional. They made me feel comfortable and have excellent service. I highly recommend them to anyone.

Dr. Chan was very friendly, courteous, and professional. He always made his best effort to ensure that I was comfortable throughout a filling procedure, which was quick and absolutely painless. His staff were also very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend Dr. Chan for anyone who is looking for a new dentist.

Multiple positives and zero negatives...each person in the office is excellent at their job and kind, which makes the whole experience easy. I like that Brian (Dr. Chan) uses state-of-the-art tools and processes, including 3-D modeling of your head and teeth. These tools enabled him to create a perfect-fit, partial crown for me while I waited! Pretty amazing, not to mention cool. No one on the staff tried to sell me services or unnecessary upgrades, which seems to be common now in dental offices. Finally, Brian was precise yet gentle - enabling me to have a pain-free experience and healthy, nice-looking teeth. I am moving my daughter over to his care.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Chan and his team. Their great facilities, service, professionalism, and quick, painless procedures made me a loyal patient :) More than anything though, I was impressed by Dr. Chans warmth and genuine communication style. Because Ive moved around a fair amount, Ive gone to several different dentists, but can honestly say that Dr. Chans patient care exceeds any other dentist Ive had. I mean.. how often are you inspired to go online to write a review about your DENTIST? :)

Dr. Chan and his staff are truly dedicated to providing patients with top notch patient care. Every visit, I am greeted with warm smiles by his friendly staff. The office is very clean and outfitted with the latest technology. He and his team are very knowledgable and thus are able to provide patients with the best dental procedures and services (he helped get my teeth pearly white for my wedding =D).Having been a patient of Dr. Chan for several years, I can confidently say that he genuinely cares for all his patients and will go the extra mile to answer all your concerns and explain every facet of your dental care with you.Look no further than Dr. Brian Chan for all your dental needs!

As many others have commented Dr. Chan and the Classic Dental Smiles team are thorough in their expert care, while having you in and out in no time. I really appreciate how they are able to make the office feel professional and friendly all at once. The biggest barrier for regular dental appointments is often just making the appointment; but the CDS staff makes that easy by scheduling the next regular cleaning before I leave and allowing me to change the appointments via email to fit my schedule. The text and email reminders as the appointment nears help too.

I moved to CA three years ago and have been so pleased with the care provided by Dr. Chang. He has provided me a root canal, crown, filling and cleaning without pain and the latest technology which makes the experience as pleasant as possible.. The office staff is kind, appointments are easily scheduled and timely. I am pleased to recommend his services.

Easily the most thorough and kindest dentist Ive ever had. Ive only been three times (once for a routine checkup and cleaning and the other two times for fillings) and they have all been extremely enjoyable and comfortable. Dr. Chan and his staff are all very friendly, welcoming and professional as well.

Ive had a lot of dental work done over the last couple of months and it has been a pain-free, pleasant experience. Sonja makes sure you are checked in and welcome. Dr Chan is absolutely the best. He explains everything and is very gentle. He and Jessica work as a perfect team. Kelly, the hygienist I saw, was very thorough and so pleasant. Going to the dentist was never someting to look forward to, but at Classic Dental Smiles its not something to fear and youll probably have a good time. The end result? Excellent!

After an accident, I needed a have a tooth redone as it was publically noticeable so I wanted to get it done as soon as possible, and was referred to Dr. Chan by family members.The tooth was redone surprisingly quick, but I found out my childhood fillings also needed to be redone, so began the new process.His professionalism from the onset has remained throughout the repeated treatment, giving a constant reminder that if I have any questions or concerns that I should not hesitate to contact him, and has checked in with me after hours.Even at an hours commute, his exceptional standard of care reduces it to a minor inconvenience.

Dentists are not my favorite place to visit. However, Dr. Chan and everyone else in Classic dental smile are very friendly, welcoming and professional. Theyre always working to make sure you are comfortable. In any moment I feel discomfort while in treatment. Dr. Chan is very skillful and careful with his patients. I definitely recommend this clinic if you are looking for one.

When our familys old dentist retired it took us a long time and went through several different dentist to find Classic Dental Smiles. Dr. Chan and the hygienists and the whole staff are competent, very professional and courteous, in addition to being accommodating to changes in my busy schedule. I am extremely pleased with their service and am glad I found them.

Excellent service! The dentist and hygienists anticipate your needs when looking at your teeth. They could tell I was nervous just by how my hands tensed and this is the first place Ive been offered headphones during a filling to drown out the sound of the drill (also the first place Ive EVER been so relaxed I almost fell asleep while on the chair). Ive had some excruciating tooth aches in the past and am usually nervous when it comes to drilling but Im never worried with Dr. Chan!

Review №99

Ive only been to visit Dr. Chan twice, but both times its been an incredibly positive experience. I normally live in Chicago, but came to the studio when I was visiting my parents over breaks. The first was just a routine checkup and teeth cleaning, but my cleaning was incredibly thorough; Ive been to a couple of dentists in the past few years (by virtue of moving around a lot), but this was by far the best one Ive had. The second was to have my fillings redone; I had to get four (or six? A good sign that I couldnt feel every single one of them) fillings redone, and Dr. Chan let me put on headphones and listen to my music the entire time. In fact, it was so easy and painless that I almost fell asleep in the end - something that I didnt know could happen at the dentist! He also called later on that evening to double check (after the anesthesia wore off) that my fillings were even and that everything felt fine.Since I live in Chicago, I also asked Dr. Chan for some recommendations to dentists in my area, and he was extremely helpful in providing a couple of names there too - for sure goes above and beyond in all services.Would recommend this studio to anyone and everyone!

My experience with Dr. Chan and his staff has been positive in all respects. In the past, I have had dentists that have given my inferior care. But, once I walked into and spoke with Dr. Chan, I realized that this was the dentist I want to remain with. He is knowledgeable, attentive to detail, a perfectionist and always welcomes you with a smile. He uses the latest in technology and has a fantastic staff. I would recommend him to all of my friends.
