Matthew C Keyser, DDS

I’ve been coming here since 2007 and think very highly of this practice. I’ve seen various hygienists, and today the woman who cleaned my teeth was very thorough and gentle. Also, Dr. Keyser is a great dentist. He performs high quality work and makes it as painless as possible.

Excellent and very competent dentist. Also, he will do the best thing for you teeth. Several other dentists out there do unnecessary cavity fillings etc to increase their bottom line. Dr Keyser does not do any of that.

After the epic saga I just had with this dental office I feel like I have to leave a review. I am a VERY nervous dental patient. Dr. Keyser and Shannon went above and beyond in being responsive to my questions and concerns after having a tooth crowned. Then, they went above and beyond AGAIN when I got a notice from my insurance that they weren’t covering it. Insurance paid, thanks to their persistence. I would highly recommend the office and I’m really glad they were recommended to me.

I have been a patient of Dr Matt since he bought the practice and was a patient of the previous owner.
I am retired and no longer work downtown and still make the journey to see him. He is genuinely a really nice guy. He is very conservative and doesn’t try to do a sales job on you. Over the years he has done a lot of work on my «aging «teeth and I never had an issue.
His super sweet office manager Kathy has been there forever and has taken great care of me. the rest of the staff are friendly and professional. They know their stuff.

Went here for several years and prices were high and service was so so. There were several times I had an appointment and had to wait 20 – 40 mins to be seen I also had a situation where the front desk person called me and yelled at me about the bill. Equipment was older and office needs upgrade. I found another dentist in the city who’s prices are 30−40% and the quality/​efficiency.
I alo had to get a root cancel re-​done by a specialist years after Dr Keyer did the original root canal. My advice is to go to a specialist if you need a root canal.

I have been a patient of Dr. Keyser for over 10 years and I wouldn’t trust anyone more with my teeth! He’s the best. Top of the line technology– I’ve worked with many hygienists in the office and have always received a perfect and friendly cleaning.
Dr. Keyser is personable and professional. I appreciate that he always has my best interest in mind. Takes care of my teeth but never tries to ‘up-​sell’ or recommend services not needed just to earn a buck (I’ve heard of other dentists that do this and it’s awful).
Warm and friendly staff makes my visit to the dentist a pure pleaser each time.
Thank you!

If they take your insurance, just go here.

I started going to Dr. Keyser a few years ago and enjoyed him. However in the last 2 years he has become too busy to actually see his patients. One day I was there for a cleaning and the dental assistant just wanted him to come in and do a quick check-​in after she finished. Well there was someone there working in (what I’m guessing) was his private office and trying to fix his computer. It was so aggravating because I waited over an hour from him but he was too occupied with this person so I just left.
Anyway, I came back a few times since then to have my 6 month cleanings and every time I notice he has a new staff member cleaning my teeth. It’s weird but the dental assistants seem to turn over very quickly here. I don’t think I’ve ever had the same person clean my teeth. What bothers me above all though is that I decided to go to a new dentist because it just didn’t seem like I was getting the actual dentist care that I should be. Well I just got a full set of xrays done by a new dentist and they advised me that I need to have a cavity that was filled by Dr. Keyser completely redone. What a WASTE of MONEY!!!
Basically, they said he didn’t do a clean enough job and missed part of a cavity and the type of material he used on my teeth was very sloppy and even highly skilled dentists don’t use the type of material because the results aren’t great. It was so sloppy that I can still to this day… about 3 years later still feel some of the material splashed on the side of my tooth. I knew the job wasn’t done right when I came by to have them file down the filling because it was bothering me a few weeks later. Even after that trip, it never felt right but I just kinda got over it.
Dr. Keyer maybe a nice enough guy but he doesn’t have the latest technology. My new dentist has xray machines that are much more high tech and they do not have as high of radiation. If you want quality care with cutting edge technology, I suggest you look elsewhere. This guy has too many patients and you don’t get the proper care you deserve.

Dr. Keyser was ok, but I went for a cleaning and they spent 10 – 15 min cleaning and said they were doing half of my teeth and that I needed to come back for the other half. They of course wanted to charge my insurance company for two full cleanings. That’s a scam in anyone’s book! I changed dentists immediately.

I’ve always dreaded dental work, so I’m not the most responsible patient. Thankfully Dr. Keyser really understands people and he always puts me at ease. He’s a skilled dentist and a good person who gets people.
His staff is friendly and funny and it puts me at ease even in situations that are naturally very uncomfortable under normal circumstances. I would recommend Dr. Keyser to anyone, especially people like me who dread dental work!

No reason to go to anyone else!

Great dentist, great office, runs on time, lovely staff.

I’ve been going to Dr. Keyser since 2010 and I have recommended him to everyone I know in SF. Great dentist, great staff, convenient location and all around just a really good dental experience.

I wouldn’t recommend this for teeth whitening. I paid over $ 600 (out of pocket) for a standard cleaning & a whitening with their zoom-​like equipment. I was told the in-​office laser treatment would whiten them substantially & I could use additional trays for touch ups (I held off on X-​rays since it was already getting expensive & I’ve only had 1 in my life).
The services were perfectly safe. But unfortunately my teeth didn’t look any whiter when they were done. When I expressed dissatisfaction with the whitening, they explained that I would need to get the trays (another $ 400?) to see any «real» effect. What??? I was weary of spending even more on a service that was already dissatisfactory.
The only real damage done was financial, but $ 620 is a lot to spend on a merely adequate cleaning job-​nothing more.

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Keyser since 2008. As always, he is courteous and friendly, has a great sense of humor. I also appreciate his sincerity and honesty. Overall, he is a very good dentist.
A few years ago, during a routine check he discovered that I needed a rather complicated root canal for one of my teeth, as it was part of a very old bridge set. He explained that he would be able to do an «okay» job if I wanted him to do the root canal, but he would strongly suggest and recommend me to go to an endodontist colleague of his who could do a much better job instead. The only thing was that it would cost a little bit more with the insurance if I go that route so he left it for me to decide. I was very surprised by such honesty and professional ethic! And sure enough, the endodontist he recommended did a great job — my complicated root canal procedure went just as smoothly as it could be expected, no flaw, and no pain afterwards. At the end, his recommendation actually ended up saving me time, less pain and hassle. I truly appreciate such honesty from my dentist, who’s more concern about his patient’s well being than his own ego! Our previous dentist was too ego centric, so arrogant he treated his staff as if they were his domestic helpers or something. He messed up with my husband’s dental care, he was super expensive, gave too much attitude and we finally had it. That’s when we switched to Dr. Keyser (we found him through Unilocal) — a huge difference in our experience, and we’ve been very happy with his care.
I’ve been assisted by a few of his hygienists for dental cleaning in the past and I can say that almost everyone did a great job. In my last routine cleaning this week, Caitlin (I think that’s her name) did an amazing job and was very thorough in cleaning my teeth. My teeth are very porous and I do a lot of green juicing for my diet and I also drink a lot of green tea, so over time my teeth developed stains that are pretty difficult to remove no matter how long I flossed and brushed my teeth with my Sonicare — and I am very diligent and serious when it comes to my dental hygiene.
I raised my concerns to Caitlin before she started with my routine cleaning and she told me she’d pull every trick to ensure she could get to those stains. Sure enough, my teeth felt and looked VERY clean after she finished — no stain left! Thank you, Caitlin (and I apologize in case I didn’t spell your name right).
Also, Shannon at the front desk is always very professional and friendly and I appreciate how she usually very good at sending email reminders prior to my appointments and very accommodating when scheduling my future appointments. Kathy, who handles the accounting was also very helpful in the past with explaining some questions I had regarding confusing charges from the insurance company. Overall, we only have good experience when dealing with Dr. Keyser’s office and his staff.
I highly recommend Dr. Keyser and his team to anyone who is looking for a great dentist.

Let me start of by saying how terrified I am of dentists… VERY!
I avoid seeing them and do everything I can to put off/​postpone/​cancel my visits. But thanks to my husbands coercion and fixing of the appointment, there was not much I could do, but to face my fear.
So, I made that walk from home to their clinic at 115 Sutter and took the lift to the 10^th floor. And all this while I was quaking in my keds.
The ladies at the reception were lovely and made me feel good about the fact that I made it on– time to an early appointment. I was then introduced the hygienist, Cailin, who very intuitively picked up on the fact that I was a little nervous. We had a little chat and viola! I was at ease. All the procedures were explained, my doubts were clarified and we started the process. She was smooth with her techniques, gave me a heads up as to what she was doing at every step and took great care of me.
Dr. Keyser then came in to assess my dental records and he too was great to talk to and seemed to really care about the ongoings.
I never thought I would ever say this, but I do look forward to meeting these guys again for they are just so nice and also for the sake of my pearlies.

Had an emergency dental need – my crown came off mid-​flight en route to San Francisco and I had three hours between landing and a meeting in the financial district.
Not only did they fit me in to re-​cement my crown, but they were incredibly efficient and reasonably priced in doing so.

I have very difficult teeth (read: I am difficult when it comes to dental work). I refuse to use anything that numbs my mouth, even if I have to get fillings. The staff here is super nice and accommodating of that and super patient with me. I always come out feeling like I have a whole new set of teeth when I walk out of there.

I had a massive toothache over the weekend and come monday morning, I needed to see somebody close to work (in SF). I called up this office and they had an opening in the same day.
I walked a few blocks north of market and found this building. There is a lobby desk, but just go straight to the elevators and I think it’s floor 10. At the end of one of the hallways, it’ll open up to this office.
I filled out my forms and was attended to shortly. The dental assistant was very amicable and friendly. Dr. Keyser swung by and evaluated my situation, and said that I would need to come back for a filling.
They set me up to come back in a week to get it done.
It was quick, and for the most part painless.
Dr. Keyser was super professional, but at the same time shows genuine interest in my dental health and me as a person. He explains everything without the jargon, so that anybody can understand it.
I would highly recommend Dr. Keyser and I’ll be back!

Finding a new dentist can be a frustrating experience. Luckily my friends who recommended Dr. Keyser were spot on.
The Pros:
+ QUICK. I was in and out for an exam and cleaning in less than an hour.
+ PROFESSIONAL. Dr. Keyser was friendly and funny. I liked him. The gentleman who did the cleaning was also friendly and funny. I like it!
+ EASY. The lady at the front desk had me checked in, verified my insurance, and set up my next cleaning in just a few minutes. Efficient, friendly, and awesome.
The Cons:
— Parking can be a pain, but luckily for me there is dedicated motorcycle parking on the surrounding blocks.
4 stars for now. I will update if I have any actual dental work done.
