Edward Jang, DDS & Associates

I love this whole place. I love Camille at the front, all the hygienists, dentists and of course Dr. Jang! The overhead TVs for the chairs/​headphones make teeth cleanings go by in a breeze. The office is officiant, clam and flexible. Dr. Jang is kind, personable and attentive.

I’ve been going to Dr. Jang for about 10 years. His office is lovely. He has a friendly and professional staff as well. I originally chose him as my dentist for his cosmetic dentistry expertise because having healthy AND nice looking teeth are both important to me.
I went for my regular cleaning yesterday and was delighted to see Becky in his Orinda office. I used to see her in his Pinole office but when I moved, the Orinda office was closer to my house. She is truly the best hygienist!
Looking forward you seeing them for years to come!

Dr. Jang, the other dentists and the staff are fantastic, professional, friendly and make me and my family feel very comfortable. They use the latest technology and my family love them.

I’ve been going to Dr. Jang’s Orinda office for 4+ years and have been treated by Dr. Jang, Dr. Lim and Dr. Gonzalez at different junctures. They’ve all been excellent, along with the staff and hygienists. At one point, Dr. Gonzalez recommended a crown on one of my molars, but when I balked at that idea, she gladly scaled back to a less invasive filling procedure. (It was explained that it might not last as long as a crown, but I appreciated her willingness to try something less extreme at my request.) The staff is friendly, prompt and accommodating on scheduling, which I appreciate as a working mom. I’m not sure about the «up-​selling» mentioned in other reviews — I’ve never had that experience. 5 stars for Dr. Jang & team!

This office is amazing! Dr. Jang is the best dentist I’ve ever been to and he keeps his office staffed with the nicest people! I had Becky and Jen work on my teeth and they were very thorough and made me feel so comfortable. Even the girl at the front desk is very nice and welcoming. There are tvs everywhere to distract you while you’re in the chair and you will never get bored. Will recommend this office to everyone.

Dr Jang gets five stars from me because he gives 5 star service. The staff is friendly, professional and courteous, and my kids love coming here.

I will give this office one star, because the staff is competent and friendly. Dr. Jang is something else: I think he is dishonest and only interested in money. All the good reviews must have been written by his family and friends.
I tried him 5 years ago, and went to another dentist after one visit. I gave him another chance this year, because he is in my hometown and I saw all these great reviews.
I wanted a filling replaced that had fallen out: he charged me for the filling and an «evaluation». No big deal. I went back for a cleaning and Dr. Lim did an excellent job.
Then I came back to have 2 small fillings done that Dr. Lim had suggested. Instead, Dr. Jang gave me a 30 minute sales pitch that I should replace just about all my teeth with crowns. He never did the requested fillings.

This office is the best office I have ever been to. I used to go to an office in Castro Valley and thought they always did a great detailed job till I had my first appointment with this office. They spend a lot of time going over your teeth and tell you their findings. From the front desk to the back office they are a very friendly staff/​easy to talk to and always willing to help. Don’t hesitate giving this office a call because your experience there will be life changing! Dr. Lim is a great doctor who worked on my fillings, she’s very sweet and very informational and tells you what she is doing in your mouth step by step. Also the dentist office has two TVs in each station, so while you lay down you can put on a head set and watch tv which makes you feel very comfortable, especially if you don’t like going to the dentist. Overall I am very satisfied with my visits and I look forward to going to the dentist rather then dreading it. I recommend this dental office anyone!

This office is the best dental office i have ever been to. All the ladies there from the front office to the ladies in the back made me feel very comfortable, i was not scared at all. They are a very high tech office as well and i like that because the dentistry is all up to date. The doctors are all very good. Dr Jang seems like he really knows his stuff. i like that everyone there is great at explaining anything that is going on from treatment to making payments. I would not go anywhere else!!! :)

I was recommended by my girlfriend to visit this office when I haven’t been to a dentist in over 1 year — I’m so glad I did!
⁵⁄₅ stars because of my awesome experience getting my wisdom teeth removed from Dr. Kim and having check ups on my night guard with Dr. Lim. Overall, I will continue coming back for my regular checkups — they also have an office in Pinole too!
Highlights:
1. Staff: from the desk clerk to the assistants to the doctors, they were all very nice, attentive, and will answer questions.
2. Setting expectations: a proposed treatment plan provided the costs covered by my insurance and my co-​pay on my nightguard and wisdom teeth operation… it was a good overview and set my expectations in the beginning.
3. Technology in-​house: it was top of the line and helpful. They were patient in showing me my teeth health on screen and where potential cavities could be present as well as teaching me to floss properly!
4. Reminders: I have never gotten so many emails/​mail reminders of an upcoming appt. Though I track everything on my online calendar so this was necessary for me, it felt good to think they put in this much effort to remind me nonetheless.
Overall, great staff, treatment plan with breakdown of costs, modern technology, and helpful reminders. Try them out!

I went back to this office for about a year because i trusted the person that referred me, this practice is only focused on pushing procedures on patients and maximizing profit, they forget how precious our teeth are. Very disappointed, the dentist is not honest at all!

I just came out of his office from an initial exam and cleaning. The experience was beyond great. After shopping around for dentists for over 2 years I have never been able to find the right fit. From the great customer service the front end staff exhibit to the extreme professionalism of the hygienists and dentists I couldn’t ask for anything more.
Big thumbs up to the front end staff who greet everyone by name and all make you feel right at home. I was a little irritated at first because they were running a few minutes late and I didn’t have much sleep after working an 18 hr shift. However, the front end staff made me feel so welcome and comfortable, were so nice and offered me coffee, water that i had forgotten I was ever irritated.
Dr. Jang took his time to explain my mouth and all my teeth inside of it. I had braces and had no clue why they had extracted some of my teeth but Dr. Jang covered it all in my exam. The televisions on the ceiling are definitely a plus as well. Their technology is up there compared to some of the old fashion dentist offices I have visited. Luckily I have insurance but had I not I would still pay the full price just based on my overall customer service experience at this office.

Good, clean, and friendly staff. Have not needed major work done, but did have preventative work that I am happy with.
I have recommended to several friends.
Love the tvs on the ceiling with head phones!

I just want to start off by saying that I have the WORST GODDAMN TEETH EVER. Despite keeping up good oral hygiene my teeth are naturally soft, and I’ve had several root canals, caps, and fillings– there is not a single virgin tooth in my mouth. That said, you can believe me when I say I have seen a significant number of dentists. Dr. Jang is the only dentist I have trusted and liked enough to settle on as my permanent provider.
I cannot believe some of the nasty, petty reviews on here. Dr. Jang is a dentist that specializes in cosmetic work, and he is very good at what he does. His goal is to ultimately turn out every patient with a perfect set of teeth and dental work. He has high standards and an attention to detail I’ve rarely seen in other dentists. That is why, as some of the reviews on here note, he recommends more work than most people feel they need done. He approaches every set of teeth as a project, and tries to lay out a plan with each patient to achieve perfection. This may mistakenly be taken by some with a persecution complex and fear of spending money as an attempt to empty their wallet, when it is simply a sign of his high standards. I’ve improved more in my time with Dr. Jang than with any other dentist because of the long-​term plan we’ve worked on together intent on improving the overall quality of my teeth– not simply fixing problems as they arise.
If you want high quality work and aim for care that will last longer than the period you’re in his chair then this is your guy, Dr. Jang is not a cheap wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am fixer-​upper. You can go anywhere for that. I’ve had SO MANY problems with old fillings and caps, but everything Dr. Jang has done on my teeth has withstood the test of time, and he’s fixed up a lot of the failings of former dentists too.
I used to be terrified of the dentist due to bad experiences when I was younger, and the frustrating regularity with which I found myself in their care. From the beginning I appreciated how the Orinda office was set up more like a house than a sterile medical environment, they’ve done a very good job of giving it a non-​threatening, comfortable ambiance (the T.V.s hung on the ceiling above the chairs are a nice touch too). And while I’ve had many kind dentists in my time, Dr. Jang stands out to me as one of the most sensitive, understanding, and kind people I’ve been fortunate enough to have work on me. He’s also retained all of his (very friendly) staff for longer than I’ve ever seen at any other dentist, which as much as anything else should stand as a sign of his character.

Cleaning went okay but then this dentist told me I needed a bunch of work that I know I did not… I went to him since I was in the area on a project job. The appt was on the day and time I needed but this guy had me worried I needed extra work even though I had just been to my dentist over a year ago.
He wanted to replace all my silver fillings and I had to have a big consult over all of it. I felt like I was buying a car. While I waited I could hear the hygienist (Beth or Becky) being extremely unprofessional & bad mouthing other people. I thought great what will she say about my mouth?
Ugh the cleaning was fine but I think this dentist assumes everyone has a lot of money to spend on dental work and goes out of his way to charge costs WAY ABOVE what your INSURANCE would charge. Be careful. Some of the reviews here that are positive are written by his own employees and should be taken down-​last I checked thats not okay.
Perhaps better REAL reviews will come in when he is less greedy & realizes we can’t all afford to make our mouth perfect the way he suggests.
*New fancy equipment & a pretty modern office doesn’t equal money well charged to patients!*

After going to Dr. Jang for multiple cleanings, and bringing my children as well, I needed some major dental work done. I consulted with him about it, and after a lengthy meeting where he basically scared me to death about the future of my mouth, he refused to tell me exactly what the charge for the proposed work would be and made it seem much more complicated than necessary. In fact, he said the charge would be «between $ 10,000 and $ 20,000»! As if a ten thousand dollar difference would be no problem!
I found another dentist to do the work (and it is beautiful) for significantly less and with no long-​winded scare story – AND, they gave me a printed cost estimate that they have been true to.
Another time, I went in for a cleaning and check, supposedly by Dr. Jang, but they put me with an «associate» dentist who was actually an orthodontist, and who also scared me (see a trend here?). He talked and talked about my mouth but didn’t make much sense. He made it seem like I was going to need all kinds of (ultimately unnecessary) work.
When I did see Dr. Jang, I found his attitude to be consistently condescending and overly ominous, but he takes our insurance so we kept going for basic cleanings. Imagine my surprise when he said he would not see me again (just for a cleaning) because of MY «attitude»! (huh?) He tried to recover and give me a lengthy explanation about «continuity of care,» because I had gone to other dentists instead of using his office for the 10−20K job. I walked out mid-​lecture and slammed the door behind me (literally!). I had had enough of him. It was a humiliating and upsetting experience, overall.
I don’t know what it is with Bay area dentists. Many of them just seem to care about the money more than anything else. Maybe I just have bad dental karma, but I have learned one thing: you really have to shop around. Glad I finally found a good one.

After reading great reviews, I went to visit to Dr. Jang.
Reception Staff: «Oh, you won’t be seeing Dr. Jang today. Dr. ??? will see you.»
So, I got some other guy, which I can’t remember his name. Maybe that’s good. I know I’ve got some problems with my teeth. That is why I’m here in the first place. I really didn’t need to hear a lecture about «the long process it will take» to get my mouth in order. At least my mouth is clean, because I don’t swear much. And, I didn’t come to be seen by the Junior Varsity.
The staff was very nice to me and get the two stars. The dental assistant that took my pictures and xrays was great. There was a issue with my insurance, which in the end, was corrected and handled nicely by the admin staff.
If someone tells you that Dr. Jang is great, he just might be. I never saw him and quite frankly, I never will.

Dr. Jang is awesome — His office is extremely current with the latest in dental technology, he is very punctual and the office is clean and modern.
He does a beautiful job and his staff are all helpful, upbeat and friendly.
My smile looks better than ever! Thanks, Dr. Jang!

I first went to Dr. Jang for my two children, but I was so impressed with the staff that I changed to his office as well. It’s a beautiful facility (state of the art), but it’s the people who really make the place sparkle.
Thank you!

Dr Jang and his professional staff are great at making their patients feel comfortable from the moment you step foot into the office. My children look forward to going to see Dr Jang, the high tech multimedia center at each dental chair is a great incentive for the little ones (and big ones!). We always receive 5 star treatment with Dr Jang and will be lifetime patients! Thank you Dr Jang and your wonderful staff!!! We’re lucky to have you.
