Spring Dental

Great dental office. Professional and on time. The dental and admin staff are great too. My scaredy cat daughter has learned that the dentist is not so bad with Dr. Tehrani. Thank you for accepting my (crappy) insurance. Don’t let the strip mall appearance fool you. This is a great dentist.

Outstanding! Dr. Tehrani has created an incredible practice that is professional and patient ordinated, with staff that is friendly and great at what they do! Dr. Tehrani is very knowledgeable, informative and thorough.
The office is clean, modern, efficient and technologically advanced.
I highly recommend «Spring Dental» if you are looking for a great dentist or if you’re not that thrilled with your current dentist.

Dr Tehrani has been my dentist for the past 4 years, and I have nothing but great things to say about her work and her staff.
They are efficient, professional, and caring. I also referred my husband to her and he’s absolutely happy with her services as well. Highly recommend this dental practice.

I saw Dr. Christallyn Tan and she was fantastic. She is very friendly and sweet and I really liked her cleanings. I’ve had some dentists that gave me cleanings that felt too gentle, like they barely did anything, and others who were too aggressive, but hers were just right.
I had to get a deep cleaning the first time I went and she warned me that I might feel some pain after the anesthetic wore off, but I was fine; no pain.
I also had to get a few fillings and I feel that she was really careful and took her time to do them right. When I moved and had to get a new dentist, he noticed and complimented her work. He told me my fillings were done really well. It’s been a couple of years now and I’ve never had any issues with my fillings.
I like that she didn’t push any products on me. She seemed really knowledgeable and answered my questions and explained the reasons for her recommendations. I think she is a really diligent dentist and it’d be nice if I could still go to her for my cleanings.

This place is a joke. I call them up, say I need a filling fixed and cleaning. They make an appointment w you right away. Try making you take x rays, even though you give them x Rays from six months ago. Then they say HAVE to x Ray bc the x Rays given aren’t good enough? Cmon now. My previous dentist has been doing this since these doctors were still in their daddies ballsack.
After they take the x rays, they go on to try and make you sign a document, telling you what is owed at the end of the procedure. My insurance card clearly says $ 50 co pay for dentist. Which means I pay you $ 50 today, they submit to my insurance, I get an explanation of benefits and THEN I pay whatever the remaining balance is. Not how they operate apparently. Don’t get ripped off. Go somewhere where they actually do the right thing. If I could give zero stars I would.

I really wanted to like Dr. Tehrani. The office is nice and new, but that doesn’t hide the shoddy work she has done. About two years ago, I went to her repeatedly for cleanings, fillings, and a root canal/​crown during a few months when I had dental insurance. ALL of the fillings that she did for me ended up breaking within 6 months, and I had to have them redone at a different dentist, wasting time and money.
Worst of all, my crown was so horribly done that food kept getting caught underneath. I had my crown redone elsewhere and had to pay $ 300 to get this done… that would have been money saved if it was done right in the first place.
Finally, I’m now about to get my root canal redone. Randomly, the entire gum area where the root canal was done swelled up and filled with puss, and I had to rush to the dentist and be put on antibiotics. Now that the swelling is gone, I’m going to have to get the root canal REDONE. Another huge expense, and lots of trouble. I live in NY now and have had this root canal checked by two dentists here, both of whom said «I thought they did better work than that in California!» when they were reviewing x-​rays of my root canal.
This has all been a hassle, a waste of time, and a waste of money — all of which could have been saved if she had done her job right in the first place. Honestly, if you are going in for anything beyond a cleaning, do NOT go here! I should have heeded the warning signs early on when she was telling me how much she hated being a dentist as she was working in my mouth…

Dr. Tehrani is great! Fast and thorough. Her staff are all helpful and awesome. Thank you ladies!

I went to Dr. Tehrani on May 12^th for a six-​month check up. Once again, she was thorough and professional: her check-​up and cleaning were really well-​done. My 5 star rating of June 2013 remains in effect. Congrats!

Best Dental experience I’ve had in a long time. Great facility and technology. All members of the staff were personable and seemed to truly care about my visit there.

I was surprised at the crummy little location it’s located in. But when I entered in it was all modern and clean. However, I was assigned to a «traveling» dentist (one who is called in for new «marks»). She was hurried and made sure she found lots of problems with my mouth that needed fixed. She didn’t really have any patience to answer my questions, and the dental assistant was berated by her for not «knowing» exactly what she wanted. Very unprofessional all around. The receptionist was very friendly and tried to be as helpful as possible. No Dr. Tehrani or any other regular staffed dentist around. It’s common now days for practices like this to operate like a drive through (by the dentists).

I dread going to the dentist, but I have had a set of very positive experiences here. I changed dentists after a negative experience with my old dentist and a change of job.
Dr Tehrani and the rest of the staff were friendly and more importantly communicated throughout each procedure to let me know what was going to happen.
A long term issue, which my previous dentist had failed to resolve, was fixed quickly and inexpensively by Dr Tehrani.

I’ve had my teeth cleaned here a handful of times. Dr. Tehrani did the cleanings. In a perfect world, a hygienist will be the only ones cleaning my teeth, but when they doctor is willing to do it and will give you a cash discount, that’s great too.
I felt like I received good cleanings here. And she honored the «new patient» price that I had paid on my original visit again on subsequent visits. This didn’t make the cleaning inexpensive, but it was a nice guesture.
Take good care of your teeth and SMILE often. :D

I originally found Spring Dental on Unilocal two years ago, and I’m surprised I haven’t written a review yet! Both Dr. Tehrani and Dr. Tan are amazing! Both are professional and genuinely care! Everyone in my family goes here, and I WON’T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY. The rest of the staff is amazing as well! (Angie at the front desk is awesomely helpful all of the time!) Dr. Tehrani personally called me regarding my daughter’s overgrown gums, due to her braces. She called my daughter’s orthodontist to discuss the matter, and followed up with me via email and phone. I have never experienced so much personal attention from any Dentist before, and it’s so refreshing to know that she’s looking out for me and my family! I recommend Spring Dental to anyone who lives within 50 miles of Walnut Creek… They are THAT great!!!

No one likes going to the dentist, but once in a while all of us need to take care of our health.
I was very fortunate to have both dentists work on me. Dr. Tan did the discovery and made recommendations. Then Dr. Tehrani drilled and filled. The local anesthesia did the job, but did not ruin the whole day. What a team!

Dr. Christallyn Tan is totally the most caring, sweet, gentle and yes… she cares!!! My whole family especially my 8 yr. old son loves her :)

Great friendly staff, Doctors are very caring. Always on time state of the art, clean modern office! I have been in the dental field myself for 25 years so i am picky!

I’m petrified of the dentist, and dread going in for cleanings. The sound of the scraper makes me nervous and sends me running! But I was immediately put at ease by the friendly staff, who were all completely understanding about my fears.
The ultrasonic cleaning was painless and didn’t take long — and my teeth feel super clean. For the first time in my life, I am not dreading my next cleaning. Soooo happy I found this dentist! (thanks, fellow Unilocalers!)

The equipment is state of the art and the doctors (Dr. Tehrani and Dr. Sarvin) are lovely, if not a bit young.
The décor is really nice and relaxing. As my brother said: That’s the nicest looking strip-​mall dentist’s office I’ve ever been too!
The doctors and staff are nice, but sometimes things there seem a bit haphazard. Once, some bonding work I had done broke off of my front tooth within a week. When I brought the chip in for examination, the dental tech giggled about it and was kinda like, «Oh well». It’s cool though. They’re nice.
All in all, they’re pretty good.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Tehrani this afternoon and am quite impressed. Like the other reviewers have said, the office is modern and comfortable, very high-​tech, and the staff (Hope and Nancy I believe) are friendly and attentive. I too barely had to wait to see the doctor. After years of being treated as an inconvenience by doctors and dentists, I am thrilled to finally have a dentist who treats me like a patient and customer.
While answering my questions she had several opportunities to upsell me and instead gave me the straight facts and informed me of my options. Being a college student I really appreciate that.
I look forward to continuing as a patient of Dr. Tehrani!

Great Dentist! Dr. Tehrani is so respectful and nice. I have had some pretty bad dentists in the Walnut Creek area whether it be an expensive dentist or someone w/​bad schooling. There are not too many dentist on this site who get 5 stars so trust me when I say that she is excellent!
I checked her out because there was a good review about her on Unilocal and they were right! Everyone at the office is nice and it is clean. I’ve had a cleaning and cavities filled so far and the experience has been excellent.
My insurance covered it and I am so happy I found her. I wish there were more honest dentists like her around!
