Elite Dentistry
Michael Fonmin, DDS:
Practice Profile Page

This review is long overdue. My family and I have been coming to Dr. Fonmin’s office for 8+ years, and though we no longer live in the area we drive 1 hour twice a year for cleanings, or in my case, fly one hour. Dr. Fonmin, Erin, and the rest of the team at Elite Dentistry are stellar and extremely personable. He and the rest of the staff make sure that patients are comfortable, understand procedures which will be done and what issues they aim to solve, and detailed explanations of billing when necessary. I highly recommend Dr. Fonmin’s practice, and envision I’ll continue flying down from San Francisco to visit Dr. Fonmin (after family) for my biannual cleanings and other dental needs!

Dr. Fonmin and the Elite Dentistry staff are outstanding!  Our family has been going to Dr. Fonmin for routine and emergency dentistry for over a decade.  The services provided are delivered with gentle care and the utmost professionalism.  It’s really great to have a healthcare provider provide both great education, treatment while being very flexible to our our busy schedules.  I’d HIGHLY recommend Elite Dentistry.

Dr Fomin has been our family of five’s dentist since he first opened his practice.  He’s handled the routine  visits and emergencies.  My former dentist said PICK SOMEONE WITH A USC EDUCATION! His wife Erin is so kind – his assistants are wonderful and the place is immaculate. We also had to call him for dental advice regarding wisdom teeth extraction and timing- i had to push him but he said ” If it were my child “.  And he was totally correct. He doesn’t run late , prices are fair, and I love how he truly cares about the long term health of our family and their teeth and gums. We have recommended him to many other families and they all happily continue to trust Dr Fomin with their mouths.

I’ve been coming to this Dentistry for close to 4 years now and I have never had a bad experience. They never keep me waiting more than 10 minutes and the staff is incredibly friendly and personable. The rooms and waiting rooms are all very clean and kept presentable.

This is the first time in my life that I’ve actually enjoyed my trips to the dentist. Dr. Fonmin, Erin, and Fabiola are all super kind and professional people that make the most uncomfortable procedures bearable. When I first visited, they found several cavities (ugh), so it actually took multiple visits to finish filling. They took the time to show me the cavities they found with a little camera (mortifying, but enlightening) – something no other dentist has ever done before. They put little sunglasses on you so that you don’t have to squint up at the light shining down into your eyes. Those lights aren’t even really that bad, but it shows how considerate they are to care about even that part of the experience. Besides all that, they are all just super great people I enjoy chatting with when I don’t have tools in my mouth.

I highly recommend Dr Fonmin and his team. He is very knowledgeable, trustworthy, compassionate and truly concerned about your overall dental health. He and his team always take the time to ask how are you doing and make you feel like family. They make going to the dentist less stressful. Erin is amazing, professional and caring. She always follows up. The office is clean, well maintained and equipped with the latest technologies. I have been his patient for the last eight years and I could not be more happy and satisfied with his service. Thank you Dr. Fonmin for all that you do.

Dr. Fonmin has been my family dentist for a long time. Whether it is an emergency or not, he always concerns of his patients need and comfort.  I am very grateful that he had referred me to the best periodontist & endodontist. Erin and Fabiola are sweet ladies in the office. Erin is always helpful when  it comes to the insurance billing. Thank you for being awesome! I highly recommend Elite Dentistry for your family dentist.

Happy to have found a dental office in my area where I felt comfortable on the first visit. Dr. Fonmin and his dental assistant were both professional and informative while taking x-rays, giving a comprehensive thorough exam and teeth cleaning. Erin in reception is extremely pleasant and welcoming. Plus the office is spotless clean so back for a follow up soon!

I’ve been going here for 8+ years and still drive back to see Dr. Fonmin even though I now live over an hour away. He is a very trustworthy and personable dentist, and Erin is really sweet and welcoming as well. I also had a tooth emergency a few years ago and they were very accommodating and able to schedule me in immediately. Nobody likes going to the dentist but I’ve only had great experiences at this office. Very highly recommended!

This was my second check up and cleaning at Elite Dentistry and I am very happy.  Erin is the sweetest person on the phone and in person. She was very helpful with insurance questions.  I like that Dr Fonmin did the cleaning and exam and then the assistant polished my teeth. Their cash patient price was very reasonable. Best of all my teeth looked great after!

I have been going to elite dentistry for almost 10 years of care, compassion and expertise. The professionalism and kindness of Dr. Fonmin, his wife, Erin and the hygienists are unmatched. I never have to wait more than 10 minutes for the doctor, and scheduling is flexible. I walk out smiling brighter and bigger. I definitely recommend!

I’m a person with quite a bit of teeth problems.  My teeth and gums have always been weak all around.  Not to mention I get cavities very easily.  Due to my situation I had numerous dentist perform different work on me throughout the years.  Another thing I should mention is that my pain tolerance is very Low so quality of work and someone that has patience is very important to me.   If any dentist can work on me then I would say he is the ideal dentist.  I can sincerely say Dr. Fonmin is that rare truly exceptional dentist that I was looking for and I was fortunate to have come across him especially knowing that I have multiple dental issues to deal with.  When I got what are normally more painful procedures such as a deep cleaning, working on my root-canal and removal of my original tooth Dr. Fonmin was very attentively asking me about my comfort level all throughout and his work I was very smooth and gave me very minimal pain.   I have a healthy set of teeth today and that is all Thanks to the worked performed by a highly experienced dentist such Dr. Fonmin.  By the way, the staff there at the Elite Dentistry is very professional, funny and good-heartedly friendly as well.  I really liked this place but most importantly Dr. Fonmin’s work was the best for me by far and I would highly recommend this dentist!

Dr. Fonmin is amazing.  I usually hate going to the dentist, but he is gentle and quick.  I have been going to him for several years and my teeth have never looked better.  His staff is friendly and work around my schedule to get me in when am available

Dr. Fonmin is everything you want in a dentist – thorough, talented, gentle and honest. I saw him a few times some years ago and then came back after I moved away because my other dentist was going to charge me $1,350 for something that Dr Fonmin charged me less than $200 to do. I’ll be making the drive back to him in the future because good work and integrity should be rewarded. Erin at the front desk is fabulous too!

Super awesome dentistry! The employees here are very professional and polite. I love that they are always willing to start conversations so that you don’t get bored while having your teeth polished and cleaned (it’s a legitimate concern!) Added bonus for the awesome music selection in the background! Love this place and would highly recommend it to everyone!
