Dental Arts Dentistry
Han Tak, DDS:
Practice Profile Page

Just had a belated dental check up and cleaning visit. Dr. Tak was friendly and she took time to explain how my teeth were doing reviewing the xrays and pictures she took. Office was clean and organized. Had no problem with the insurance verification. I would be happy to recommend my friends to see Dr. Tak.

Dr. Tak is the best and her entire staff is amazing! I have been going to her for almost 2 years now and I would never go any place else. I have had over 6 dentists and this one is by far the best. Her work is impeccable and as someone who is very cavity prone and terrified of needles, I’ve never felt more comfortable with any other dentist. Whether you need regular dental services or cosmetic dental services she’s your gal. I’ve had both and she is undefeated!

Never in my life did I imagine leaving a review for a dentist or dental practice. But here I am. Dental Arts Dentistry is the place you want to be if you’re extremely scared of dentists or anyone looking at or poking in your mouth, which I was for a very long time. I grew up not liking to sit in the dental chair. The whir of that metal instrument and the sound of scraping against teeth – yikes and ouch! But after four visits to Dental Arts in the last two months, I can say with confidence my dental phobia is slowly but surely exiting out of my psyche (lol). Met Dr. Han Tak about 15 years ago. Their practice was new at that time, their service was excellent but due to convenience, I went to another practice which turned out to be a waste of my time and resources. That other practice didn’t do much to improve my overall oral health as they were herding patients so fast, and providing dental plans that cost a lot of money with little benefit. I should have just stayed with Dental Arts. Fast forward to 2019, I decided to visit Dental Arts again. Saw Dr. Han again over the Christmas holidays. She provided a complete dental plan with reasonable rates. She explained the procedures patiently and was very professional. By January 2020, I was done with gum surgery by her partner, Dr. Slamat, and I’m definitely on my way to better oral health. What I liked best is that this office did not practice dental shaming. I’ve met so many dentists and hygienists who can be quite rude. Dental shaming is when they look at you with disdain after they have a first glance at your mouth. Dental shaming is when they give you that clucking of their tongue telling you in so few words but with expressive non-verbal cues how horrible you are for not taking care of your teeth. Why pay hundreds, or thousands, of dollars only to be shamed like this? Frankly, I never went back to those other practices after the dental shaming. Sure, I wanted to get my teeth cleaned but I didn’t need the shaming portion. Nobody does. Thankfully, there was none of that shaming at Dental Arts Dentistry. Dr. Slamat was very thorough and highly-skilled in his work. I was very nervous but he was able to work expertly while at the same time, effectively helping me manage my anxiety. He actually made the appointments fun. He explained the procedures very well and he was not in a hurry to run off to the next patient. I’m really pleased with the gum surgery – again, never in a million years did I think I can actually say that. There is minimal wait time at their office during appointments. They are also very responsive to text messages, in case of any dental issues or emergencies. The dental assistants were quite friendly and knowledgeable – shoutout to Cindy and Walter! Cindy was a wonderful dental assistant as she was very careful not to poke too much during those 2-hour gum surgery sessions. I really appreciate that, too. Overall, Dental Arts is a small practice but they take very, very good care of their patients. I hope the service continues to be excellent over the years.

Dr. Kim Tak was awesome! She was very thorough and took her time going through the photos and x-rays with me. I went in for a routine cleaning and that’s exactly what I got. She told me about potential issues that may arise in the future, but didn’t pressure me into doing any unnecessary procedures right away

I’ve always hated the dentist. Always. But with Dental Arts Dentistry, I don’t mind so much. Dr. Tak is kind but very straightforward. She’s corrected my flossing and brushing too. They are usually very gentle and will even wrap you up in a blanket if you are cold. The few procedures I underwent that were above my pain threshold, I was told exactly what to expect so there were no surprises. Everyone there is friendly and the place is spotless–even the bathroom is clean from top to floor. Payments: I’ve always been told before any procedure exactly what my insurance is covering, etc. They broke down every number to me in all my procedures and having done my research, I know the prices are fair/comparable. Making appointments: Never had a problem–they always call with a reminder and I’m even able to make/reschedule appointments via email (convenient when I’m in the office/meetings all day). They’re very understanding with my reschedules. I will probably continue to come here as long as they’re here. I’m not sure about parking–you may want to call but I don’t think they validate. I usually walk there.

Without a doubt, one of the most caring, skilled and efficient dental offices I have ever been to – and I have been to a lot!  Dr. Slamat and Dr. Tak, a husband and wife team, are incredible together and complement each other’s skills in a way only a husband and wife can do.  The office is spotless, the atmosphere is quiet and relaxed, they take the time to make sure you’re comfortable, and charge you a fair price.  My husband, who had to have numerous extractions and gum surgery, absolutely hates dentists.  This is the only place he will go.  They offered him exceptional service, opening early for him, ensuring he was comfortable and secure, and took as much time as he needed to get himself relaxed for the procedures.  To top it off, they prepared a little care package, complete with chicken soup, to take home with him!  Can’t recommend this practice enough.

It appears you will either have a great experience or horrible…I have been several times now…and have been extremely pleased with their service…both Dr. Slamat and Dr Tak…Their dental hygienist are very friendly making me feel welcome and comfortable and the front staff is kind enough to schedule my next visit while following up with reminder calls which I find very helpful. I would highly recommend either one of these doctors!!!
