PATIENT REVIEWS

It’s weird that it states that this location is not Active but I still go to this location. I was on a hunt for a while for a great dentist and tried a few closer to home in my area (Fremont), and a lot of them were horrible experiences. I never feared the dentist as a child or teenager but as an adult exploring my options based of local recommendations from friends and family, I ran into many places that were just horrible. Left me with a bad taste in my mouth literally. Then my mom told me about this place, which is a bit of a drive and I was hesitant since my last experience with a local dentistry was so bad I never wanted to see another dentist again. She insisted that they were clean professional and were so good that she left with a root canal and didn’t feel pain. (root canals are supposed to me one of the more painful procedures). So I took her word for it and decided to give them a try. Needless to say, few years later I’m still driving 30-40 min out to see them! They are amazing, and I haven’t had a bad experience yet. I have my husband going to them too. They do call a lot for appointments, but then again I was getting the same from other dental offices. Their facilities are clean, comfortable, modern with more modern tech than the other offices I’ve seen. Their staff is really helpful and professional. I would recommend this place to anyone!

I visited Dr Dandhu and got my root canal done. I am very happy and satisfied with care and service i received from the front desk to Dr Sandhu. Its been 4 months and i never had any problem with my root canal or the crown. All in all an excellent experience. I would recommend Dr Sandhu to friend and family looking for any dental work.

Dr. Sandhu is truly such an amazing dentist! My family and I have been going to California Shine Dental for years and we always have a great experience. Dr. Sandhu is always so friendly and wants to know how his patients are doing before anything else! My family and I always talk about how much we enjoy coming here because Dr. Sandhu and his wonderful staff always take such great care of us and we are always very pleased with their work! Dr. Sandhu is really caring and will take time to make sure every patient is happy with their dental procedures. He really has every patient’s best interest at heart and will go above and beyond to make sure that everyone has a great time in his office. Most people are afraid of going to the dentist, but Dr. Sandhu and his team really help address any concerns they may have! The staff is so welcoming and helpful! With COVID, the team is taking really good precautions to keep everyone safe and healthy in their office. Dr. Sandhu is really the best dentist in the Bay Area! I would highly recommend that anyone who is in need of a dentist go check out Dr. Sandhu!

I’ve been visiting California Shine Dental for over 5 years now after a friend has recommended them to me. The front desk staff is very efficient when it comes to schedule an appointment. They always make sure to call and remind me of appointments. Rescheduling an appointment is also hassle-free. I had a very unpleasant image of a dentist in my mind due to my previous experiences. Dr. Gagandeep Sandhu was however in complete contrast of that image. Very professional and of amiable nature, he always answered whatever questions I had in great details. I had my teeth implants done here which was a long process. Dr. Sandhu explained the procedure in detail, why it is necessary, what my options are. He made sure that I was aware of all the facts and tried to make this as painless as possible. I continue to avail the services of Dr. Sandhu and Clifornia Shine Dental and would recommend them to anybody in a heartbeat.

Dr. Sandhu is a fantastic dentist and one of the best in the Bay. He and his staff know exactly what they are doing, and take great care of you and your teeth. They are very professional and kind people, and make you feel very comfortable during procedures. I have always left the clinic feeling better about my smile. Overall, 100% recommend him and California Shine Dental.

If you’re looking for a new dentist, look no further than Dr. Gagan Sandhu at California Shine Dental. Dr. Sandhu and his team are some of the most caring, hard-working, and honest people I have met in dentistry. The quality of their work and the level of care radiated by their staff is unmatched. Their office is modern, clean, and very welcoming. The wait times are next to none, and I don’t recall ever having to wait more than 2-3 minutes before being called in. Dr. Sandhu himself is very knowledgeable and performs all tests and procedures himself, giving one a sense of confidence in the care they’re receiving. During procedures, Dr. Sandhu takes his time and is very thorough in making sure everything is done properly. He always asks you if you are experiencing any pain, and accommodates you in every way possible. Dr. Sandhu is also very thorough and clear in explaining everything that he has performed and everything that he suggests be done to keep your teeth healthy and your smile glowing. Overall, if you are in need of a new dentist, I highly suggest you give Dr. Sandhu and the team at California Shine Dental a chance. You will not be disappointed!

I am going to this office for last 4 years and the services provided by them are excellent. Prices charged by them are very reasonable and less as compare to my previous dentist. Dr Sandhu, Dr, Kaur and other staff members are very helpful and provide complete information during the checkup. They also helped my mom who was visiting USA & suffering from tooth ache. Dr. Sandhu did a thorough checkup , treated the problem and charged zero dollar. Try this place and trust me you wont regret.

if you are looking for a friendly, knowledgeable, super patient dentist – then this is your guy i have been a patient of his for over 5 years – talk about commitment he never fails to greet you with a smile, and ask how everyone, including the dog, is doing he has a diverse set of patients as well as staff he tries to be as convenient for you as possible – since his staff is pretty large there are a few good doctors to chose from and two locations the quality of care as well as the flexibility they offer makes California Shine Dental one of the best dentist offices in the south bay area

Dr Sandhu has been our family dentist for a few years now. I have recommended him to many friends and acquaintances. This is group of honest and competent folks. The practice has a low-pressure environment – and very trustworthy professionals. We have never been coerced into superfluous treatment. My kid’s have been going to the practice too; We have been very happy with the care and treatment that has been provided. Personally, Dr Sandhu’s sincere advice on regular dental hygiene – and his list of things to look out for as i age – has been very helpful for me. Community connections and Philanthropy: On a couple of occasions i have sent some folks to Dr Sandhu – folks that have needed some monetary concessions. I am grateful for Dr Sandhu’s generous turn on those occasions.

I had my first root canal done here two weeks ago and Dr Sandhu and his staff did a great job. Being new to this country and having no insurance it’s a pain to have a tooth issue and at the same time paying superb dental cost, but Dr Sandhu offers payment plan that’s really affordable. Aside from the A+++ treatment I got from them, the facility is super clean and they are using the latest technology (x-rays, monitors, etc).  I would definitely recommend this dental clinic to everyone who would need dental services, even asked my husband to transfer here.

I came here last week because my denture was bothering me. I thought it won’t be easy because I have never been to this dental office. But I was surprised, Dr. Sandhu is so knowledgeable and good that just in 1 hour, he fixed my denture that I am able to eat well again. I wanted to thank Dr. Sandhu and the staff of California Shine Dental. Thank you!

I am a person who never write reviews because sometimes people exaggerate things about a business, but I am writing this today because I think the world should know how good California Shine Dental is. Dr. Gagan Sandhu is wonderful. He is a magician who can remove the pain from your teeth instantaneously. The staff is caring and the office is very comforting. He shows you everything on the TV before starts working on your teeth so that you are comfortable with the treatment and also, you are aware of what he is going to do. Very very good experience. IF YOU HAVE A DENTAL PROBLEM, CALIFORNIA SHINE DENTAL IS THE ONE FOR YOU. YOU WILL BE VERY HAPPY WITH THEIR WORK. God Bless you, Dr. Sandhu.

My son had very crooked teeth and I didn’t know if he should go for braces or invisalign, so I thought to take the risk. I don’t have much money, but just wanted to do it for my son. I heard Dr. Sandhu’s show on the radio and thought to give him a try. He recommended invisalign and after a year the results are tremendous. Very very happy with his work. Trust me, he knows what he is doing. Confident, knowledgeable and a superb dentist!!!! That’s all I can say.

I was looking for a dentist… my friends suggested many… but the Dental Office was near my house. After searching the web, I finally found California Shine Dental. As it turned out, California Shine Dental was a cozy little place. Everyone at the office, from the receptionists to Dr. Sandhu to the dental hygienists are extremely nice and they’ll do an excellent job on your teeth. I would say visit this place and you will be happy with the experience.

Dr. Sandhu is great! He and his team are very organized and the office is always kept clean. When I come in for my appointments I am always there for less than an hour. His job is the best. I have gone in for regular teeth clean ups, deep cleans, cavities and I have felt no pain. He is very considerate and always cares to ask his patients how life is going for them. I recommend his office to anyone looking for a good dentist. I will be taking my son to his office when he is old enough to see a dentist!

So I am one of those people that hates the dentist. Hates the dentist, hasn’t been to one in years, and hates needles to top it off. All that aside, I love this office! Originally I came to this office because they were one of the few that take my crappy work provided insurance AND they are open on weekends. I have since had a deep cleaning and my teeth whitened. I am so happy with the results and the treatment. The service is great, the office is clean and state of the art. I feel like a horrible person because I cannot remember my dentists name but she is amazing. Super sweet, super kind and patient to boot. She tried really, really hard to help me through getting a shot to numb my gums but when she realized I couldn’t manage it she still did a remarkable job on my teeth with minimal pain or discomfort. I have since recommended this place to a few family and friends and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dentist, especially if you’re similarly afraid of the dentist like me haha 🙂

Just got my wisdom tooth taken out and there’s no other dentist I would have trusted with this difficult procedure! Dr. Sandhu was extremely patient, helpful, and informative throughout the process. He is clearly very highly experienced and knowledgeable about his work.  Unlike my previous dentist, Dr. Sandhu was very caring and patient to my sensitivity. He is also extremely honest as he informed me that my other wisdom teeth do not need to be taken out as they grew straight and are not problematic. My previous dentist tried scamming me and told me I must remove them all! My appointment was at 4 and I was out before 4:30 including my numbing time so they are also very quick and efficient. Great office, great location, and they are also very good with working out your schedule to accommodate appointment.

I’ve been coming here for over 3 years and after having horrible experiences with other dentists I finally found somewhere I like going. Dr. Gagan Sandhu is super nice and I really like and appreciate that he explains everything he is going to do or what is going on with your teeth. He answers all my questions and he makes you feel comfortable. His office is very nice and clean. The front desk staff is very nice and helpful as well. I had some issues with my insurance, but Dr. Sandhu made sure I cleared things up first with my insurance before scheduling any appointments to avoid me paying out of pocket which I really appreciated. Overall great dentist place.

Amazing team of dental care providers that truly care for their patients and always go above-and-beyond to ensure you leave the clinic satisfied. Dr Sandhu is very knowledgeable and experienced, which makes him a great dentist for kids and adults alike. I’ve been going to them for my dental work for years, and am overall very satisfied with their services. Highly recommend!

Geez. I did not realize that this dental office had only 3 stars. Meh. I guess you can’t always trust yelpers (this is something I find true anywhere I go) I’ve been going to Dr. Sandhu for about a month now and have had nothing but superior service. He is kind and does not make you feel rushed when you’re there. I’ve had dentists who have made me feel like I was a walking bucket of cash and that’s definitely not a feeling resonated through this office. The dental clerks and assistants are nice and so is the office. It’s clean and looks really professional. Another plus is that his office is open on weekends so it really helps when you’re not wanting to take any days or hours off of work. It’s actually one of the reasons why I chose the office. I came here mainly to get some cosmetic crowns dealt with and if you’re in a similar situation I know it’s really hard to commit to an office since not a lot of people post about their experiences. Wellll. Dr. Sandhu uses a top notch office in SoCal so the crowns come out beautiful! There was a problem with mine and we’re having it repaired ASAP. I love that Dr. Sandhu addressed the problem and dealt with it professionally. I would recommend this office for your cosmetic needs. I have yet to do a cleaning with him but I wouldn’t expect anything less that great from this office

My experience with Dr. Sandhu and the staff of California Shine Dental was fantastic. I was not a patient at this clinic but rather an observer trying to get more exposure to private practices in the bay area. I’m a dental student and I’ve seen the entire spectrum of dentist interacting with patients – from dentists who are overly aggressive and are merely trying to meet a production quota to those who are too shy and can’t give proper treatment to patients. Dr. Sandhu both listens to patients needs, expectations and *most importantly* dental related fears and crafts a custom treatment plan that ensures top quality care for each and every patient. Another thing I noticed is that Dr. Sandhu isin’t rushed to see a certain amount of patients, prior to beginning any treatment he will always ask how a patient is doing, ask about developments in their life or if they have done anything exciting since last meeting, these little things that I’ve learned from Dr. Sandhu really help patients to be more comfortable in the dental chair and foster a sense of trust and compassion. Everything I’ve learned from Dr. Sandhu helped me treat my own patients better and more importantly – helped me forge a stronger bond of trust with them. I’m excited to see what else I can learn from Dr. Sandhu going forward. 10/5 stars!

First off, Me and my wife used to go to other dentist at berryesa rd but we rarely saw our dentist there. we were always encountered by dental technicians ,it was like in/out we had no doctor client relationship…..so we decided to change our dentist and we r glad we did .we landed at california shine dental and we have been sooo happy ever since..Dr Sandhu and his staff r the best in bay area..Dr Sandhu personally cleaned my and my wifes teeth(which other dentist never did) He answered all our questions and suggested what was best for our oral hyigiene..his staff also scheduled our next appointment at appropriate time which fits our schedule.. so no hassles..we have been recommending Dr sandhu ever since to everyone who is looking for dentist..This is our family dentist now. Thanxxx Dr Sandhu and his staff for giving us shining smile

Dr Sandhu and his team at California Shine Dental are the best dental care providers in the Bay Area. They are fast, efficient, knowledgable, caring, and very professional. Over several years, not once have I left the clinic in pain or unsatisfied with Dr Sandhu’s work on my teeth. Also, their clinic is modern, clean, and extremely welcoming. Overall, if you are in search of a new dentist in the Bay Area, definitely give Dr Sandhu and California Shine Dental a try! I guarantee they won’t let you down!

I’ve been coming to California Shine Dental in recent past and had a great experience.. The staff is super nice and helpful. I haven’t been to too many dental places in this area but based on my knowledge I would say there is lot of technology at this place and i felt like, it is a hub to get cured of any dental problem. Highly recommended !!

Everyone at California Shine Dental is amazing! I’ve been going to them for almost 8 years. They always try to accommodate my busy schedule, even if I call and try to get in at the last minute. Beverly & Jean are wonderful and friendly.  The whole team is also very good with children. I’ve been taking my son since he turned two and he’s now 5 years old. The doctors and staff make him feel comfortable, so much that he is not scared of going to the dentist which makes it easier for everyone. I’ve referred some family and friends and all love going to CA Shine Dental as well!!

We first came to this dentist because my boyfriend broke a tooth partially, but it was causing him a lot of pain. Dr. Sandhu was able to see him the same day for a partial crown. Came back a week later for the porcelain crown and he’s been good since. Payments are affordable, they work with you depending on how much you are able to pay. I liked their service and tried to see if they could take my braces off. Since Aetna does not cover orthodontists for people over 21, I paid out of pocket for my retainers. However, they have treated us with the utmost care and patience. I’ve never had to wait more that 10 minutes to be taken back. The dentists and staff are very knowledgeable in case I have follow up questions or concerns and even let me know of future procedures or cleanings that I will eventually need so that i am kept in the loop. Appointments are easy to get and I appreciate that they offer Saturday appointments for those days I can’t take a day off. Thanks to Dr. Sandhu’s office we are doing better with our oral care and hygiene. No more braces for this girl after 6 years! 🙂

I had one implant done at California Shine Dental by Dr Sandhu. It was my most pleasant experience. Dr Sandhu is experienced, knowledgable and very nice person. There was no pain. He explained me everything in great detail. I am very happy and will recommend Dr Sandhu to all my friends. Front desk staff was very courtious and helpfull. This dental office is very neat and clean and looks like a five star facility. Music was very pleasant and soothing. My experience was great. Harris M

I heard Dr. Sandhu’s show on KLOK 1170 and he seemed to be very knowledgeable, so I thought to visit his Dental office. He is in San Jose which is a little far for me, but oh boy, he has an amazing office. You enter and it seems like you are in wonderland. It has beautiful decor and an gorgeous roof giving it a sky look. I don’t know about others, but I have never seen a dental office that beautiful. Now, coming to the treatment. Dr. Sandhu is very knowledgeable. He actually know what he is doing. He was very helpful and didn’t seem to fumble when it came to me asking him questions. I ask tons of questions. 🙂 One thing I need to understand though, when we extract teeth of kids that are 5-7 yrs old, they come out so quickly, but not sure why it takes time for extracting adult teeth? I think I need some clarification on that question. Anyways, now coming to his staff. I felt at home talking to his staff. His front-desk is very calm and answers your questions well even though the dental office is very busy. The office manager is nice too and she was willing to answer questions that the front-desk couldn’t answer. Honestly, I recommend Dr. Sandhu and California shine dental. They are good. Give them a try. I know people are scared of dentists and dentists are not anybody’s favorite, but when you are in pain, you need to get your teeth checked, so if you can, visit California Shine Dental. I think you will like them.

I visited dr sandhu and got my root canal done. I am very happy and satisfied with care and service i received from the front desk to dr Sandhu. Its been 4 months and i never had any problem with my root canal or the crown. All in all an excellent experience. I would recommend dr sandhu to anyone looking for any dental work. 🙂

I came to know about Dr. Sandhu from a friend. I went there for fillings. As you enter, the office looks great. It is very clean, beautiful, elegantly designed with wonderful interior decoration. Receptionists at the front desk were very helpful and courteous. Dr. Sandhu did my fillings. It was virtually painless. He is very soft speaker and knowledgeable. I am very satisfied with my dental work. I will recommend all my freinds to Dr. Sandhu. Michelle

It amazes me to see how tooth ache can ruin one’s day…..I was not able to work, sleep or eat, my tooth was aching so bad. I had no choice, but to go to a dentist. I was scared of them, but no choice, had to go….my tooth ache was killing me. I didn’t have the time to look for any dentist, so I landed at California Shine Dental….Oh my God! Dr. Sandhu is the best. He is a magician dentist. He examined my case, looked at it carefully (not in a rush), explained me the entire situation, showed me everything on a plasma TV so that I saw everything with my own eyes and then, started the treatment. My pain was gone. I will highly recommend him. California Shine Dental and Dr. Sandhu are the best. If you need a dentist, do not look further, go to California Shine Dental. I guarantee you will be happy with them.

I am new to the bay area and was looking for a dentist because I was having exuberating tooth ache. I found California Shine Dental as it was close to my home and I am so glad I found it. Dr. Sandhu is an awesome dentist. He was very helpful and my pain was gone as soon as he was done with the treatment. God Bless you, Dr. Sandhu! You are the best.

What can i say, they are simply the best in bay area. Dr Sandhu has that magic in his hands that even scaredy cats like me calm down. Whole family has been going to him for almost 10 yrs. Always had good experience. His office is very clean and modern and has fancy look ever since i asked them to change their old worn out sofa. Staff is very kind and takes care of insurance claims right away. Dr sandhu’ dad also helps him in running clinic and i can tell age is just a number for him. CSD is gem in evergreen area and we will continue to patronize them . Thanks Dr sandhu and team

Little bit of a different review as I was not a patient at California Shine Dental. I am an aspiring dentist finishing undergrad and was given the wonderful opportunity to shadow Dr. Sandhu even though I had no relation/connection to him! I started shadowing Dr. Sandhu in mid December, which is his most busy time of year due to everyone taking appointments to use their insurance before the end of the year, and was able to see him operating at his peak work load/most stressed. Regardless of how many patients he has to see in a day, Dr. Sandhu always makes an effort to connect with his patients in order to make them feel comfortable and works as efficiently as possible while still providing the best care possible. Although some previous reviewers have complained on some occasions about not being able to see the doctor for more than 15-20 minutes, that is honestly all the time this doctor needs in order to assess X-rays, identify any issues, and then treat most patients. That being said he does spend a greater amount of time with patients that have more issues and thus need more interventions and does not make you feel rushed if you have any questions or concerns. While on the chair Dr. Sandhu always makes sure to ask the patient from time to time if they are doing OK and notices if you are squirming or feel uncomfortable and either pauses or adjusts to help you feel more comfortable. All in all, I would highly recommend Dr. Sandhu and his team at California Shine Dental as they are the real deal and have the knowledge, equipment, experience, and compassion to give you a great experience! (If they don’t have the knowledge/equipment they will refer you to a a specialist and not try to upsell you!)

Dr. Sandhu and his team are the reason why my family and I have amazing pearly white smiles for the last almost ten years! He is very professional and friendly. If he notices a little chip or cavity during just a simple cleaning, he takes care of it right away. From the front reception area, to the dental chair, and back out everything is always smooth, clean, and fast. You won’t meet another kind hearted dentist like Dr. Sandhu in the area! Highly recommended even if you just need a simple dental cleaning!
