Van Ness Family Dentistry

Dr. Kamanin is an awesome dentist! He has been our family dentist for years. He is kind and super gentle! You do not leave his office with that, I just left the dentist’s office and my mouth hurts– feeling. See you soon for another whitening session Dr K!

van ness is a good dental clinic. I been here a couple times now for whitenings and deep cleanings. I’m always happy with the results. its the only place whose whitenings last and don’t leave me with white spots.

Dr. Kamanin is awesome! I knocked out my tooth from a air bag deployment from during a fender bender. I despised looking at myself in the mirror for not a minute longer and called the dentist listings from the Unilocal listings. I couldn’t find anyone else in the area who was able to take me for an immediate appointment but Dr. Kamanin’s assistant helped squeeze me in for one after talking to him for me. They are very kind, courteous and accommodating. My dental implant is made of a great feeling material and the tooth looks great. I am very appreciative of them and for their top notch service.

I had a dental emergency situation while on vaycay in San Francisco and needed a good Dentist ASAP. I google’d around and went with Dr. Kamanin since he had good ratings and seemed to specialize for the cosmetic procedure that I needed done. He was easy to schedule an appointment with and he is very friendly too. His work is impeccable and my chipped lower tooth looks brand new while also, matching up perfectly with the real ones. Thanks again!

I had a bad experience with a former dentist (I don’t want to call anyone out, but it’s name starts with Gentle and ends with Dental). So much so that I actually avoided the dentist for a few years afterwards. Then I found Dr. Kamanin and his lovely, sweet, helpful staff and I am the best patient ever! (At least that’s what Dr. Kamanin tells me).
The office is quiet, location is convenient for me since I travel by Muni, the customer service is great, they always remember my face and name, schedule is flexible, and I’m never there for more than 30 minutes.
This is all great stuff, BUT let me tell you my absolute FAVORITE thing about Van Ness Family Dentistry: Dr. Kamanin has never asked me to do any extra or unnecessary procedures, something I feel is really common in dentistry. He is so professional, knowledgeable, and gentle and helps me figure out how to address any dental issues without invasive (**expensive**) interventions. For example: I needed a night-​guard. He suggested that I try one from Walgreens before dropping almost $ 200 on a custom one. And what do you know? the Walgreens one worked perfectly for years, he never pressured me to go a custom one. I finally ended up getting a custom guard because I needed something more comfortable but it was my decision.
I would recommend Van Ness Family Dentistry to anyone, and I have! (Whether my boyfriend actually calls and schedules an appointment… well that’s on him)

Dr. Kamanin is the best! And he is super friendly with kids. Very professional, very knowledgeable, very polite and very fun doctor. Beautiful office, and his assistant is always super friendly.

I have been seeing Dr Kamanin for a couple of years now. He is very skilled, knowledgeable, very good at explaining possible options and always took good care of me.
I have had checkups, fillings, even wisdom teeth removed and have been very satisfied every time.
I highly recommend Dr Kamanin and van ness family dentistry to anyone and everyone. You will not be disappointed.
Thank you,

I discovered Dr. Kamanin about 9 years ago and never went to another dentist since then. He is very professional, understanding and a great specialist. When it comes to my teeth, I’m really picky and Dr. Kamanin is very knowledgeable and calming, always providing a fun and pain free treatment.

Van Ness Family Dentistry — excellent service, professional, friendly and personable staff. Knowledge, experience and skills of Dr. Kamanin are solid and comforting. Vlad is truly a family doctor all my family including two kids have been going to him for as long as I can remember.
I give it 5 starts.

I’ve been going to Dr. Kamanin since i was about 7 years old. His work was practically painless even when he worked at another dentistry that had outdated equipment. Now he has his own, where everything is brand new and let me tell you… I had 3 cavities, was TERRIFIED… and i didnt feel a thing. once the numbness wore off, i could tell one of the fillings was a little too large… the next day, walked right back in and he fixed it instantly.
His assistants are all amazing as well. if you’re looking for a new dentist, I wouldn’t recommend anyone more.

Well I have mixed feelings about this place. I was ready to have this be my regular place to go. The people are really nice, the dentist is funny and charming and the office is very clean and nice and he did a wonderful job cleaning my teeth and explaining the importance of flossing and explaining the x-​rays etc. But when it came down to the heavy duty stuff, I wasn’t as impressed and I was told to stay in pain and wait it out instead of getting any assistance for immediate relief. I knew something was wrong and I was told I’d be given pain meds, then didn’t get a prescription or anything. I had almost stopped eating the pain was so bad and I expressed that. I went to get a second opinion and they did something right then and there that gave me immediate relief.
That being said, this place has it’s good side but I wouldn’t be comfortable with any hardcore invasive work. I also feel there is a break in communication with the staff and I felt like I had to work at keeping everyone on the same page about my needs. I was also quoted different prices for services, was never informed I needed to schedule another appointment to get a dental guard etc. — I guess when you go to a dentist it’s more important that everyone is on their game and on the same page when it comes to your mouth. Being nice and friendly is the bonus but shouldn’t be the reason you keep a dentist. I think the tipping point for me was not acknowledging the severity of my pain and making sure I was taken care of.

Best dentist in the area, state of the art equipment, new office! Vlad is great! My entire family is coming here now, including my two kids, 4 and 7 year olds! 5 stars! Highly recommend this place!

BEST PLACE TO GO!!!
I hate going to the dentist, HATE IT! But recently I had to go find a dentist for some wisdom teeth issues and decided to come to this hidden gem and I’m so glad I did! I was completely AMAZED by everything and one.
The office is cozy and the receptionists are VERY sweet and polite and make the experience less nerve racking. The doctor Vlad himself is really sweet and funny and knows exactly what he’s doing. That combination alone makes sitting in the dentist chair more comfortable.
There is a t. v on the wall in front of you to show you your x-​rays and anything else about your teeth. Pretty high-​tech and awesome. Also all the technicians make everything simple and easy, especially the x-​ray procedure, and right after you see it on the t. v :)
Long story short, if you want a comfortable experience in a nice environment with friendly staff and an awesome dentist then PLEASE come here! Definitely the best dentist I’ve been to and maybe even my favorite ;)

Had a filling fall out, and as VNFD is right next to my office I just walked in during my lunch break.
They made my appointment for next day! Quick and efficient.
Doctor and nurses were courteous and knowledgeable, put me at ease from the first minutes :-)
I’ll be back for a cleaning and checkup in a month or so.
