Services
At the dental practice of Dr. Steve Byun, our friendly, dedicated, and energetic dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a positive dental experience every time you visit our practice. Hello, it's nice to meet you! I work as a registered dental hygienist, and I promote healthy smiles and educate patients about their oral health.
Dentistry is the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions, disorders, and diseases of the tooth, gums, mouth, and jaw. Often considered necessary for complete oral health, dentistry can have an impact on the health of your entire body. A dentist is a specialist who works to diagnose, treat, and prevent oral health problems.
Preventive dental care is important throughout your life, no matter what your age. By practicing good oral hygiene at home and scheduling regular checkups with your dentist, you can help keep your smile bright and healthy for many years to come. Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
Bonding is a conservative way to repair slightly chipped, discolored, or crooked teeth. During dental bonding, a white filling is placed onto your tooth to improve its appearance. The filling "bonds" with your teeth, and because it comes in a variety of tooth-colored shades, it closely matches the appearance of your natural teeth.
A bridge may be used to replace missing teeth, help maintain the shape of your face, and alleviate stress on your bite. A bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks great, and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. Your bridge can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials and is bonded onto surrounding teeth for support.

I just started going to this dentist and so far they've been fantastic! From working with Mia to get set up and scheduled, to the x-ray technician (sorry, I forget her name), to my consultation with Dr. Byun - the whole experience has been impeccable. Based on the clear and comfortable welcome process and exam, and the overall professionalism I've experienced, I would highly recommend this dentist.

[edit] I stand by my impression. Whether or not the receptionist was racist, a 3rd person cannot decide what it was especially when he wasn't even at the scene. At your office, I felt discriminated against and I felt that was undeserved. Also, I would never return to this business. Thank you.
I had called the office to schedule for an appointment multiple times in the past and never received a call back so I decided to walk into the office. Mia was at the front desk asking how I came in. I said that I am looking to make an appointment because I have a cavity that needs to be filled. She

Rincon Dental is one of the best dentist offices I've been to. The staff are all super professional, friendly and helpful. Dr. Byun is the first dentist to recommend a solution to canker sores that actually works! (Watermelon Frost) On my last visit I was in a hurry because I could only find a 30 minute parking meter. They took x-rays and cleaned my teath swiftly and thoroughly and I was back to my car before I got a ticket!

I saw all the good reviews and was very suspicious. How can a place be that good? Well, I just had my first appointment, and I can confirm Rincon is the nicest dental office I have ever been to. Everyone is super smart and thoughtful. Mia, the office coordinator, was extremely welcoming and I didn’t have to wait at all to start my appointment. Arlene, the x-ray tech, is probably the sweetest person I’ve ever met. Dr. Byun was kind and thorough and even polished off a stain I was insecure about. Martina, the dental hygienist, was so nice and didn’t make me feel ashamed about my terrible flossing

I love Doctor Byun and his staff, Mia, Victoria and Charlene are amazing. I went to see them after I had a bad experience at another dental office. Rincon dental was recommended by a friend and it really was a life saver for me. I went in very scared and feeling unwell, and I left with a smile on my face. The doctor told me exactly what was going on and gave me all the information that I needed and the recommendation for an oral surgeon. He’s the best dentist I’ve ever been to, he talks with the patient and explains everything, he’s a professional, I will send all my friends to him and his

I've been a regular at Rincon Dental for over 10 years and wouldn't even consider going somewhere else. Even though I work from home full time in Oakland now, they are still worth the trip into the city. From the front desk support, to all the hygienists, to Dr Byun himself--so warm, friendly and skilled. Truly the best

Highly recommend this practice. Everyone is friendly and professional from Mia in the front office, to the dental assistants, to Dr. Byun. They are thorough to ensure you receive the proper care while taking a conservative approach and not selling unnecessary procedures. The additional safety protocols they have implemented because of COVID make me feel safe coming into the office at this time of partial lockdown.

My dentist of 27 years retired during COVID so I finally went to Dr Byun. I'd been hearing about him from friends and colleagues of mine. He and his staff made things so so easy for me. Not only did they make me feel comfortable with all the CVD protocol but they were friendly, fast and not at the expense of really quality care. I can't wait for my next cleaning!

A top dental office with extraordinary staff and fabulous dentist. Dr Steve Byun and his teem are amazing. I have been a patient for six years and can attest that this dental office does excellent work. I had several crowns and fillings done, and cosmetic dentistry too. The job was perfect and everyone is so friendly and caring that I would drive miles to keep going to this dental office over any other.

Always a great experience with this crew. I have been coming here for years and you can feel how they care about their patients. The team here will always be honest with you so be ready to take feedback, but they will always be kind about it. They are a kind wonderful staff I highly recommend. Leave early to find parking if driving, there is a garage but it fills up :)

I have been coming to Rincon dental office for 2 years now, thanks to my daughter Jenn H who referred me. Their customer service is excellent starting with Dr Byun who is so efficient, knowledgeable and professional and his sweet assistant Arlene. Frances and Mia greet you with such warmth and accommodate your schedule to fit you in when needed. Let's not forget Denise who does the best cleaning and keep my smile beautiful.
I couldn't be happier with the service I am getting.

I had my crown done and the dentist was very helpful and experienced! They gave great advice in terms of what is necessary and what might happen. They don't try to do work when not needed. The office personnels are very accommodating. If your teeth are more sensitive than normal, you should let them know and they can accommodate.

I used to really like this place, but I had an extremely bad experience. The dentist refused to help me with a critical structural issue causing me to be unable to eat on one whole side of my mouth. He told me it would "be fine" if my temporary fell out. Unbelievable. Sent me home unable to eat solid foods on one side of my mouth. Even the specialist he referred me to criticized him heavily for leaving me hanging like that. Some dentist! I won't be going back.
The receptionist and support staff are very nice, which is why I'm giving even as many stars as I am. If you have serious

Everything about the experience was friendly and informative. They were completely transparent in pricing and at no time did I feel like they were pushing an agenda to bring in sales.
My NEw York dentist had scared me off dentists and I was hesitant when referred here by a friend... my experience at Rincon was actually great. Highly recommend.

NOT recommended - I had a very negative experience with the receptionist at Rincon Dental when I inquired about scheduling a cleaning appointment.
1. The receptionist would not even discuss availability for dental exam or cleaning without verifying my insurance policy, name, BOD, ID, etc. all over the phone.
2. When I politely suggest that we should check availability first before proceeding to sign up as a new customer, she literally says with attitude "YOU KNOW WHAT, I DONT THINK WE ARE THE RIGHT PRACTICE FOR YOU" and proceeds to hang up on me.
Needless to say, I'll be vocally
