Marina Tooth Fairy Dental
Hibret Benjamin, DDS:
Practice Profile Page

Life is good when you make time to floss! Isn’t it great to get positive feedback from your dentist? This is the best place to get dental work! From the dentist, the dental assistant, to the admin/registration person, I was made to feel like a friend who came to visit, not a patient to talk down to and “fix.” Modern, clean, efficient, and I feel welcomed when I arrive. How often does a person look forward to going to the dentist? Almost never. So then, take this chance to be happy with your dentist! You will recommend Marina Tooth Fairy to your closest friends too!

Dr Hailu is skilled, qualified and personable. Alexis and the rest of the staff are kind and professional. Our whole family goes here and we all love the office. Our son feels comfortable in the dentist chair! I am able to get sedation when I go into a dentist office panic. My husband won’t admit it, but he is pleased that Dr. Hailu and Alexis are always reminding him of what he needs to do to take care of his teeth! As soon as I can, I plan to use her for veneers too. From all I have seen, the equipment is current, the dentistry is great and the ambiance is as pleasant as can be. You will not be dissappointed!

I have always had such a good experience both with Marina Tooth Fairy and with Dr Benjamin!! They are always on time (which I appreciate, usually need to get straight to work after), text and email me about appointments (which I’m always forgetting about until the reminders), and my appointments are always so quick (who likes sitting around with a bunch of stuff in their mouth?). Staff is friendly, location is great and easy to find, and I couldn’t be more thankful for their extended hours for someone who works long ones. Thank you!!!

Well I been/am Dr Hailu’s patient for about two years and by far one of the best dentist out there. she is expereinced and knows what she is doing, which I think is very important. I fdefinitly feel secure about my tooth knowing that i am in good hands. she also employs a very modern and a sophisticated equipment so as to render the best service and care to her patients. Her entire staff are very freindly as well as knowledgable. I strongly recomend to anyone who is looking for clean and professional dentist care.

I’ll admit it had been awhile since my previous dentist appointment – the experience I had at Marina Tooth Fairy made me wish I had gone in sooner! From the second I walked in the door, I felt comfortable. My appointment was on time and the entire staff was more that willing/able to answer all my questions/concerns. It’s not often you say that you look forward to your next dental visit, however, in this case I can confidently say I’m looking forward to seeing Dr. Benjamin and her team again. Thank you!

About seven or eight years ago, I had the good fortune of meeting Dr. Benjamin.The timing was perfect because I had recently relocated to the Bay Area and I knew that I needed to find a dentist but hadn’t yet made it a priority to do so. Dr. Benjamin gave me her business card and encouraged me to make an appointment for a cleaning, which I eventually did. The first thing that surprised me was that, Dr. Benjamin personally cleaned my teeth – I had been accustomed to a dental hygienist performing the cleaning and the dentist coming in afterwards for consultation. That was impressive. The next thing that impressed me was the way that Dr. Benjamin discussed her diagnosis of my oral health with me – she took pictures of what she was seeing and showed them to me. Where there were issues, Dr. Benjamin did a good job of helping me understand what the issue(s) were, what my choices were and the possible outcomes for each of the available options. Having lived and worked in nine states and having had to find dentists and doctors in each of those states, I came away from that initial appointment extremely impressed. I felt then as I do today, that Dr. Benjamin is far and away the best dentist that I have had the good fortune of finding. She does a lot of things right and clearly is extremely deliberative and conscious of her business choices she has made and continues to make – from the most ridiculously comfortable chair anyone might ever recline back in to the anxiety-reducing music, to the friendly and approachable staff to the use of modern technology for appointments, follow-up, etc. For me personally, those things reflect savvy and intelligence and more that anything – even though I am always very anxious when I’m in the chair – I know that you can’t go wrong when you’ve got someone that smart helping you out. As far as the work itself, Dr. Benjamin replaced all of my silver fillings and crowns. Maria is right there at her side helping me to stay calm through these procedures, and for that I am very grateful. Clinically, my oral health is excellent and I’m proud of the progress that I’ve made since 2007. I hope that Dr. Benjamin continues her practice for a long time to come and that I’ll be lucky enough to remain one of her patients.

Marina Tooth Fairy Dental is awesome. Dr. Benjamin and Dr. Bui are fantastic. Great doctors that truly take care of their patients. The staff is amazing, welcoming and so friendly. Office is in tip top condition with all the modifications due to Covid. The office staff and doctors take all the precautions to make sure it’s a safe environment. Appointments are always on time too. I have my entire family going there. I was sick of trying to get an appointment for my kids at their previous dentist after the appointments were cancelled during SIP. Marina Tooth Fairy was able to accommodate my kids (3 and 6) dental appointments immediately. They are great with the wiggly kids and husband. I know that my family’s teeth are in great care with Marina Tooth Fairy.

This a great dental office and Dr. Benjamin is outstanding! Making appointments, dealing with insurance, etc is easy and seamless. Dr. Benjamin is a recognized expert in the city, uses the latest dental technology, takes time to explain what she is recommending, and if necessary refers you to other equally great specialists. I’ve had more dental work here than I care to admit and the experience has been great!

I became a patient of Dr. Benjamin’s for the first time yesterday. Dr. Benjamin, and her staff are extremely professional, caring, and compassionate! Every employee I met, seemed happy to be there, and enjoyed their job! A rarity, these days, for sure! Katelin was my hygienist, in almost 60 years of my life, the best hygienist that ever cleaned my teeth, with zero pain! Her first concern was to make me comfortable ! I would recommend this practice to anyone looking for a great dentist and great patient care! Thank you so much Dr. Benjamin! Words cannot express, what a wonderful, and caring experience it is, to be your patient!

So here’s the deal, I hadn’t been to the dentist sin something like 5 years, it was ridiculous and more than that it I was terrified! Well that all changed when I walked into Dr. Hibret’s office, that beautiful, warm, friendly office! They cleaned my teeth which wasn’t the most fun I’ve ever had (my fault for the 5 year gap!) but they are so thorough and so gentle and most importantly they know what they are doing and do it well! They set me up with a monthly payments for a dental plan and make sure I come in twice a year for cleaning and make sure to scare the crap out me to make sure my mouth is happy and healthy! I love the team and I love going to the dentist now! Thank you Dr Hibret and crew! My teeth are so much happier and healthier! If you’re looking for a dentist, you’ve found the right one!
