Sang Tran, DDS

This man performed unnecessary and poorly skilled procedures on both my husband and my teeth when we were in college. He takes advantage of poor college students… beware!

Excellent, caring and skilled. Well versed on the latest materials and techniques. Really nice staff.
Update: Good experience continues.
I have now seen Dr. Tran a few times. My first appointment was an emergency — cracked tooth, ultimately in need of a crown. He did a great temporary filling using some advanced material that sets up with a special light. I probably could have lived with that temp solution for a year, that’s how good it felt. But even I could tell that the crown was needed. As for the crown work, I was amazed. First off, he was not stingy with the anesthetic — a very good quality in a dentist. Second, the quality of his work was very good. He did talk me into using a ceramic crown instead of gold, which concerned me a little because I grind my teeth and gold has always seemed to work better. However, the system used for creating the tooth includes a 3-​D model of the tooth and computer selection of the proper tooth surface for your bite. A machine in the next room creates a crown to the exact specification of the space the dentist just created in your mouth! It was very impressive. The crown fits great. After the procedure, I developed some serious gum pain and tenderness. I called the office and was able to speak directly to Dr. Tran. He made time for me the next morning and discovered that there was a little cement from the crown impinging on my gum. Fixing this was a bit of a hassle, as it involved numbing and drilling again. But it is all taken care of, there was no charge for the correction, and everything is fine. On top of all this, the staff is friendly, conscientious and intelligent. The chair-​side conversation is actually interesting (history of dentistry, photography, how to make shutters for your windows…) There are more crowns in my future, and I will definitely go back to Dr. Tran for this work. You can bet I’ll be making sure they get all the cement off when the crown is put in! But I anticipate an overall positive experience under Dr. Tran’s care.
