★★★★★

I am very fortunate to have Dr. Tan as my dentist:) He is very nice and experienced. i have visited at least 5 different dental places in irvine and I chose Dr. Tan over the other ones because he cares about his patients very much. So far I have extraction and implants done and I am very pleased with the results. The other staffs are very professional and approachable. Michelle is Dr. Tan’s sister and she is in charge of billings and everything 🙂 she is the sweetest person ever. I would definitely recommend Dr. Tan to other people.

I have been seeing Dr. Tan for 10 years. I saw 3 other dentists before him and I can say Dr. Tan is the best among them all. He is always nice and very patience in explaining the issues of your teeth. He took his time in his treatment, so you never feel rush and uncomfortable. He won’t never suggests you to do any treatments that you don’t need. I am very luck to find him. And I will recommend him to all my friends or colleagues.

My family and I have been with them for about 8 years. This is where I got my braces and where my family gets their regular check-ups. Their dentists are very nice and professional. Michelle is also very accommodating of our schedule and needs. Would definitely recommend to friends looking for a new dentist.

We are very happy to have Dr. Tan to be our family’s Dentist since we moved to Irvine on July 2001. We not only experienced the best care of our teeth by Dr. Tan, we also experienced the continuing improving and upgrading of the office equipments, treatments,  and environment. Believe that’s why both our 2 college kids (both born in this country, and both study at UC-Davis now), still making appointments only with Dr. Tan and fly more than 400 miles for the visits.

I have been seeing Dr. Tan for my dental services for 16 years now. I am so grateful of receiving professional services from him. I also had a dental implant here in the past year. It was a smooth and comfortable experience. Thank you, Dr. Tan.

Been searching for a great dentist and a friend of mine referred me to Dr.Tan. He and his staff are friendly and answer any questions you may have. Dr.Tan and his staff take the time to explain everything about your cleaning. A big plus is that they are opened on Saturdays!

This office is great.. My family and I have been coming here for years. We moved out of the City, but I still drive into Irvine for our Dental and Ortho needs. The staff is awesome and they really care about their patients.

★★★★★

Our family has been going to Dr. Tan’s office for over 15 years. He delivers exceptional service, and offers helpful advice and plentiful options regarding different treatments without forcing you into deciding on a plan. Dr. Tan really cares about patients.
The receptionists at Dr. Tan’s office are friendly and caring: the day before your scheduled appointment they will call and remind you of your appointment, and after a major procedure or surgery, they always call as a post-procedure follow-up.

Dr. Tan is very knowledgeable and gentle! Came in for an extraction and he handled my teeth with great care. The procedure went smoothly with minimal pain. All thanks for Dr. Tan and his staff. I would highly recommend all my family and friends.

★★★★★

I had a good time in this place! I would normally get  a regular cleaning every 6 months and my teeth would always end up feeling fresh and hygienic! The dentist was also very polite and helpful, the staff were also very friendly and it really encouraged me to come back here.

Christine W. from Irvine, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I’ve had a missing tooth for a while and have been considering an implant but I was afraid how the cost and the idea of having something planted into my mouth. My friend  referred me to Dr. Tan and after getting a  consultation and  fully exam from Dr.Tan I decided i was ready for the implant.I walked in scared for the process but with Dr.Tan’s experience he made me feel comfortable and finished the procedure in less than an hour. He gave me a prescription for antibiotics and pain killer  but it hasn’t really been hurting after. I think Dr. Tan is very reliable and walked me through the process and the price is very reasonable.

I’ve been to Dr. Tan’s office for over 6 years now. Before coming to Dr. Tan, I’ve gone to two other dentists in the Irvine area but didn’t find them as good as Dr. Tan. Dr. Tan is an excellent dentist who is extremely professional and really good at taking care of the patients needs. He has done a tremendous job over the years on my teeth and I’ve never had any problems after each of my visit. Just came back today from my semi-annual cleaning. As usual, I’m a happy customer. Dr. Tan’s office staff is also very professional and courteous. Very easy to work with. Highly recommended!!

The dentist is something I usually dread and would never take initiative to go. However, I was in dire need of a checkup so I came to SC Dental because it is in close proximity to my work. Upon entering, I was greeted by the front desk people. They were very friendly and made sure I knew the exact costs and what my insurance would cover. The assistant, Edith, was soo patient with me while I gagged half the time during the X-rays. Dr. Tan was extremely kind and gentle during the whole process. He explained to me the process of the periodontal chart and why he was evaluating my gums. A few minutes into the conversation and I could feel Dr. Tan knew exactly what he was doing and well experienced. I appreciate how he explained the terms and procedure to me without sounding like jargon.

Best Dentist I have been too! Dr. Tan and his entire staff take their time to explain everything to you and make you feel very comfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Kenna L. from Locust Grove, GA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I’ve been going to Dr. TAN for almost 5 years I believe and I can say hands down he’s the best. Such a sweet and professional demeanor with a top notch approach to dental care. I’ve had deep cleanings, a crown, teeth whitening, fillings, regular cleanings and a root canal with him and it hasn’t disappointed ever. The staff take their time and explain everything to you, answer questions and just make you extremely comfortable each and every time. He even takes Saturday appointments!!! I mean, come on that’s cool. I know a lot of people are leery of dentists in general but Dr. Tan, Michelle and the entire staff treat you like family. And they actually now have two locations for even more convenience. I’m grateful that our family found him. Kind of a weird thing to say about your dentist, but you’ll say the same after you’ve seen him too. For sure! Thanks Dr. Tan:)
