Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth. A dental night guard is a device that is normally considered to be the first-line treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism). Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth.
Early and moderate periodontal disease may exhibit few, if any, symptoms. However, warning signs of advanced periodontal disease may include red, swollen, or bleeding gums; persistent bad breath; permanent teeth that are loose or separating; or changes in the way your teeth fit together when you bite.
Plaque on the surface of your teeth can produce acids that seep into the pores (rods) of the enamel and break down its internal structure. This process, called demineralization can create a weak spot on the surface of the tooth that may become a cavity if left untreated. Fluoride helps prevent tooth decay by slowing the breakdown of enamel and speeding up the remineralization process.

I've only gone here for regular cleanings and xrays, but have had nothing to complain about over several visits. They do not try to sell you unnecessary procedures and are great with educating you on your oral health. They also waived my fees after cleaning when they found I am no longer in network.

Update: after over an hour on the phone with Delta, we discovered that South Beach Dental had incorrectly filed my claim 5 times! I was insured by Delta Dental at the time of service, South Beach Dental incorrectly filed my claim over and over, and now they are seeking payment from me. The receptionist was incredibly rude even though I explained to her Delta Dental informed me I did not owe the balance, they told me patient responsibility is $0. Unbelievable that I had to call Delta Dental twice and spend hours on the phone only to discover the fault lies with Delta Dental. I will never ever return

My preferred dentist is Dr. Becky Chen. She always has a great positive attitude that makes dental visits enjoyable. What makes her such a great dentist is a next level precision that results in healthy teeth with the least amount of pain possible.
If dentists were like workout trainers, my previous dentists were body builders that left me feeling like "no pain, no gain". Dr. Becky Chen is like a yoga instructor with a low impact and zen-like approach that is highly effective. She is truly exceptional and I can't imagine going anywhere else.

I'd be lying if I said going to the dentist is ever a fun experience but it's is just something that needs to be done. I had a pre-Covid appointment that I needed to cancel. They emailed me asking if I wanted to reschedule. I was on vacation with no where to go and decided this would be a good time to get the pearly whites cleaned. I appreciated the gentle reminder because I wasn't sure they were open and am pretty lazy with such appointments.
The appointment itself was pretty short. The hygienist was nice and friendly. They provide you with glasses so you're not getting filth

My dad was military, so going to the dentist and getting medical checks and shots were standard operating procedure in our family. So was moving, and I continued to move a lot after I left my parents' home. One thing that has not changed in more than 65 years is going to the dentist twice a year. As a result, I have been to a lot of dentists in a lot of States and practices. As of today, I have been going to South Beach Dental for more than ten years, and I even cross the Bay Bridge to go there (starting six years ago). I like the professionalism and care. The staff is also friendly, but not so

I've just gotten off a call with South Beach Dental who not only refused me service, but also refused to apologize for charging me $500 for a dental cleaning that never occurred due to their office cancelling my cleaning and never following up.
Not long after my cancelled appointment, I experienced a dental emergency, called their office and emailed in an attempt to see a doctor - only to be scolded by one of their office staff that it was MY FAULT for not having come in sooner. Which I would have, except that they cancelled my appointment and never returned my calls or emails.

Had 4 fillings, very basic in two sessions. One dentist couldn't have cared less about me and the whole thing took 45 min and felt very in and out, those two fillings fell out causing two teeth to break, and needing $11k in implants, root canals, and additional surgery. The other dentist was clearly her first session ever, took 2 hours, and was a bit painful. Granted those fillings have been doing great, but that should be expected, not the exception.
To top it off they have now put a $65 collections charge on my credit report for a charge I had no idea about. I had paid with insurance and at

I've been a patient of South Beach Dental for more than a decade, having started as a patient back when Dr. Markus Watson was a solo practitioner. In the early days it had quite a positive, patient-centered vibe.
In the last year I've had quite a bit of work done at the South Beach dental office, as well as with a recommended periodontist. I have had multiple appointments including crown lengthening preparation as well as the installation of two crowns. Thousands of dollars of work for South Beach Dental, some paid out of pocket by me, but more paid for by my excellent Delta Dental plan

I have been a patient of South Beach Dental for six years now and I love them! I don't know why I haven't left a review much sooner than now.
My primary dentist, Dr. Becky Chen, has a great chair-side manner, and she is equally great at caring for my teeth. She is very instructive about my tooth care, and getting my teeth cleaned by her is actually a pleasure.
I once asked Dr. Chen why she never tried to sell me any extra dental work, such as Invisalign or braces, like so many of my other dentists had, and she said, "I only care about the health your teeth. If you want braces

I just had a cleaning this morning and inquired about getting fitted for a night guard for grinding my teeth at night, the office manager told me that they could submit it to my insurance. She then informed me that I had a credit on my account because I overpaid for some work I had done in December of 2017 and they could use that money too, over $700. Nobody told me that I had overpaid them a year and a half ago. She told me a manager would get back to me as to why no one notified me.

I've been coming here since 2016 and it used to be a consistently great experience when Dr. Abrams was a part of the team!
For some reason, within the past 2 years, the dentist I'd see for cleanings has been different nearly every time which would be fine... but not all seem to have the same standard of care and detail.
3 cleanings who may have been the worst - just so sloppy with water and saliva getting everywhere - it was really uncomfortable. Was told to not use a Waterpik.
Nearly looked for another practice after that, but decided to play dentist roulette and see who I got a few

Upselling aside, I've had a positive experience coming here the past few years for basic cleanings.
Pros: Staff are very nice, my appointments usually start on time, they are open every other Saturday which is a BIG plus, they are above the Safeway and Safeway provides 90 minutes of free parking if you buy something there
Cons: they always try to upsell me which is a bit annoying. Every time I go in there they assume I want an X-ray by default (which is not only expensive but I also want to minimize the number of X-rays pointed directly at my head). Also this last time they suggested I start

I had been going to this place for several years. Last summer I had a disagreement regarding charges from my toddlers visit. Initially I was under the impression that the front desk person and my husband had agreed on charges and settled the bill. Months later I received a notification that the account was being transferred to a collection agency. Freaked out about my credit I called the office and got a hold of Gina the office manager. She kindly explained the misunderstanding and the charges applied and agreed to give me 50% off the remaining balance and ensure the account doesn't go to

Sold me work that didn’t need to be done for a while (also sold teeth whitening to my wife, and after we paid and wasted a Saturday morning coming to an appointment, told her she wasn’t a good candidate for it). Work is done by different random dentists, so you feel like you’re on an assembly line. Regarding the work itself, the filling was way too high and it’s still painful, and the crown doesn’t feel like an anatomically normal tooth. Not even going back for them to fix it, driving two hours to see my old dentist.

Would not recommend - unprofessional and incredibly aggressive with payments. Even reported my balance to the bill collections agency.
When I got my first cleaning, the dentist told me that my insurance covers two cleanings per year and recommended that I get my second one before the year ends (this was in November so I got another one a month later).
After my second cleaning South Beach Dental gives me a call and tells me that the second cleaning was not covered under insurance. After disputing this charge, I find out in the mail that this office had sent my $150 cleaning bill to the collections

Love love love my dentist here.
I've been coming to SBD for about 3 years now and have never had an issue. My advice would be to book as far in advance as possible since getting an appt with your dentist can sometimes be difficult. Also, be aware of their cancellation policy. It's no joke and in the city, I completely understand why they charge.

My friend lost a teeth and worried if he would need a teeth implant. I visited south beach dental several years ago and Dr Chen was really good so I suggested my friend to get a consulting visit.
He took my advise and booked an appointment with Dr. Quant. The appointment was basically just Xray and the dentist looked at it and told my friend he lost a teeth. My friend asked what would be the plan to fix it. Dr. Quant told him that he had to book a 2nd appointment to discuss the plan.
The first appoint costed $140 because my friend paid out of pocket without dental insurance. The outcome

Overall, the hygienists and dentists are always lovely. But I'm switching to a new place closer to home. Here's why:
1- The cleaning itself doesn't feel thorough. There's less scraping done here than at other dental offices. I've noticed that it's done mostly with a waterpick, which ironically a staff member advised against using a waterpick over flossing. So why use it during a professional deep clean? (obviously i'm not an expert, but found this perplexing)
2- Why is there so little calendar availability for appointments relative to the dental staff size

Been here twice now to see Dr. Lotfi for my checkup and cleaning starting April 2017. I received text as well as email reminders 1-2 weeks before my appointment with option to confirm the appointment (which was made after my last visit 6 months ago). Got there on time and was seen within 5 minutes. Everyone from the staff to hygienist to the dentist were all very professional and friendly. Love that they don't try to gouge me off like the last place I went (King St Dental - DO NOT go there). Also love their location (3 mins' walk from my apartment) and their Saturday appointments!

I was a patient here for years and recommended the place to all my friends. The quality of care was fantastic and I had no issues, until I moved in 2014. Apparently I had an outstanding bill and they waited over two years to surprise me with a collection agency claim on my credit report for a trivial amount of money. They had my email, phone number, and I had mail forwarding set up, yet they did not call, write, or email me once to notify me of this bill. Instead, they sent it to collections years later and caused a massive hit on my credit score that I am currently disputing.

Going to the dentist in not my favorite thing. Especially when I have cavities, two small ones. First the environment at South Beach Dental is really nice, I can distract myself with the view. The staff are wonderful. They use the latest technology. I only needed one tooth numbed and usually I will have pain later in the day from the shot, but that was not the case. They are making a new night guard and it was an also a much easier process than my former dentist. I highly recommend South Beach Dental. This was my second visit but my son has been a patient of Dr. Watson's for years now. I regret
