Gum recession refers to the loss of gum tissue along the gumline. This can occur as a result of periodontal disease (gingivitis, periodontitis, advanced periodontitis), the natural aging process, or abrasive habits when it comes to brushing the teeth. When gum recession occurs, the root structure of the tooth becomes exposed.
Your smile affects your self-image, and can greatly influence the quality of your interactions with others.

I had to have a wisdom tooth extracted because it was giving me problems. Dr. Marcus Lin of Kohoutek Dental did the extraction and the procedure went smoothly. I felt some pressure on the tooth but no pain and it was out before I knew it. I did not have any swelling or pain and I did not use ice packs or take any pain medication.

Dr. Lin and the staff are the best. I went to them for dental implants and couldn't be more satisfied with the results. I ended up with a fabulous smile and get to enjoy all my favorite foods. They have state of the art equipment and comfortable accommodations. I will be forever grateful to them for the wonderful job they did!

The doctor is so good and the staff is very welcoming.
I felt treated like a patient who needs help. I was treated like a human being but not like a money generating person which I had previously experienced with group dentist doctors firms. I will always recommend Kohoutek dentist

Doc.Lin is my new dentist and I'm glad.We had a lot of work to do and I get uncomfortable in the dentist chair. Doctor Lin was able to calm me down by taking the time to explain the the procedure in advance. That kept me calm and involved and out of fear. Thanks Doctor Lin for helping me through my fear and giving me a wonderful smile.😊

The lady who answers the phone is very rude. I called for an appointment for a cavity (big hole in tooth). She starts laughing hysterically and says “how you know you have cavity ha ha” with her thick Chinese accent and little understanding of English.
Then she tried to change the topic and pretend she wasn’t trying to put other people down to feel better about her own sad little life. I state, “I am trying to get my teeth checked for cavities”. They should send this lady back to whatever dump she came from.

I've been coming here routinely for about a year now. My roommate found them on our insurance list of in network facilities (Aetna PPo at the time) and came home super excited about her treatment.

It had been a long time since I've been to a dentist (since childhood) so I scheduled a routine cleaning. They are open on Saturdays and until 6 on weekdays I believe so they are super accommodating for the working individual. Check-in/registration was quick and they pretty much always start on time.. I've never waited more than 15 mins post actual appt time.

I am writing my personal review of my root canal and my kids experience with a regular checkup and cleaning.


(8/4/18 & 8/10/18) MY APPOINTMENT EXPERIENCE:

Dr. Lin and his staff were very professional and accommodating towards getting me seen straight away for a toothache I've had for about a week! He made me feel comfortable from the very beginning by giving me options and advising me which procedure would be beneficial! I agreed with him and decided to do a root canal and he explained everything he was doing throughout the procedure! After the procedure he was able to schedule me

It's a trap!

I came here for the high rate review but it is obviously not okay. The dentist is nice but his professional profile is not good enough.

He wants to conduct root canal for my tooth which is not needed. Okay, if it was a restaurant, I would rate 4 stars but this is a Dental clinic, I only have these 28 teeth for my life.

Everyone needs to gain experience and become skillful with more and more practice. I just don't like these practice on me, especially on my tooth.

Probably he will become a good dentist in the future but at this moment, I will vote 1 star to help incoming

This is totally ridiculous place, they won’t tell you anything about extra charge before you walked in. You gonna spend a huge amount on something unknown. The lady here is so unhelpful and ignoring of customer. Stay away from this dental place no matter you have insurance or not!

I hadn't been to the dentist in over 7 years due to my severe dental anxiety and not trusting dentist. Dr. Lin changed my way of thinking. He is very HONEST and sincere. Explains very well so it helped me to understand my dental issue. I am deeply moved by his professional yet gentle touch so it wasn't hurt me. Impressively skillful.
Everyone in the office is so nice and warm. The office is super clean. I absolutely love this place and would never go anywhere else. Best dentist I ever met!!!

I can't believe I've waited so long to post a review. Kohoutek Dental is stellar! I've been with this practice since the employees were at another location and I continue to bring myself, friends and family here.
I don't think I've ever experienced such professional detail oriented and honest dentistry.
Every employee with Dr Lin is the best, kindest and most supportive.
They are great with children and have made going to the dentist a fulfilling experience.
When I had some serious issues with a tooth, Dr Lin put his own time and energy into making sure I

I like everyone else fear the dentist. I just started seeing Dr. Lim and the experience has been wonderful. If you are looking for a dentist that is personable and makes you feel at home come here. I had 4 teeth extracted 7 shots but it wasn't painful or uncomfortable. I am actually looking forward to repairing the rest of my teeth. Dr. Lim is definitely a find.

I've stayed with this practice since Dr. Guo and I'm even happier with Dr. Lin. Since he offers a wider variety of services, I took advantage of his ability to perform pinhole gum surgery. The procedure was difficult and the recovery was long, but Dr. Lin and his staff took great care of me throughout the procedure and kept a close eye on my during recovery.

I now have a normal gumline and look forward to being able to get some teeth whitening!

This was my first time using this dental office today. I ussualy go all the way down to San Jose. So today I got on yelp and called a few places to get a veneer re cemented back on in order to save some time of not dealing with the 1 hour traffic. I called a few different offices but I had the best feeling about this one due to the staff being so freindly when I had called. I went and was treated like VIP once I was there. I went in and was out quicker than a trip to the grocery store. The Dr. was extremely freindly and made me feel welcomed and comfortable. I will def be back here in the future

I've had awful experience with dentists before due to painful cleaning sessions with my old dentist and I must say that the dentists here in Kohoutek are different! I've had a few sessions with Mimi already and she's very sweet and gentle. She makes sure that she knows the patient well in order to give proper advice. She has many years of experience making her suitable for the job. All my siblings go here because of the exceptional service. Recommended.

I had a limited amount of time to get my procedure done because although I am from the Bay Area, I have been a missionary in Africa for the last 15+ years. So, when I return to get dental work done I am always in a rush and need lots of work done. Add to that, our organization uses Careington and I have to get a pretreatment estimate (PTE) for everything. Therefore, I am a very demanding client, not by choice but dictated by circumstance.

With that said, I had to get 4 crowns done in a short amount of time (long story short, I had fractures in my teeth). The receptionist, Iman and another

Since we moved to the area, the hubby and I have driven past this dental office for about a year now.

We had been faithful to our dentist in San Jose, until he sold his practice.

So here we were 6 months later, like abandoned orphans, needing a teeth cleaning. So naturally, I turned to yelp, looking for a worthy dentist and hoping they were covered by my insurance.

And yes they were! And with glowing reviews!

And the icing on the cake is that they are a one stop shop. They have an Orthodontist and Endodontist on site! What at great deal! And given my history of root canals, this definitely

After going to a dentist in downtown Hayward a year ago who had dollar signs in her eyes, I decided to give Kohoutek Dental a try (apparently Dr. Guo moved her practice from Alvarado-Niles to Kohoutek and changed the name of her practice to match the street name).

I really like Dr. Guo and her staff. She is very thorough, and she and her staff are very friendly (a must in my book). Dr. Guo did a great job at fixing 3 older fillings that were no doubt done by the inferior dentists at Smile Care (I will never, ever consider going to a dental chain again). It took her a little bit longer to

Hmmm, i have been going to Dr. Guo for about 4 years. She has really built up her practice over the years from when they used to be located on Alvarado Niles Road by the Chamber of Commerce.

Now she has regular specialists on rotation so it's a pretty much a one stop shop now. Their new office (on Kohoutek) is pretty high tech with digitalized photos so no more biting those stupid things that make you gag when you need to take an x-ray, definitely a plus.

Her staff is relatively professional. The only thing i didn't like about her staff was that one of her assistants, "L"
