    Dr. Emily Gentry made an effort to explain teeth cleaning and my upcoming cavity filling in a calm, clear manner. She showed me videos on how to properly floss and was mindful of my anxiety throughout the appointment (due to my past awful dental experiences). She made the visit quick and easy- would recommend!

    The team takes care to understand what you want, your history, and why you're there. No hard spells on dental work. The photos and the xrays, which they show and explain to you, speak for themselves. Gentle approach to the cleaning, lots of checking in.

    The office was centrally located, beautiful, and clean. Everyone was exceptionally friendly and walked me through all the processes, gave me feedback and tips for at home, and did a very thorough job. It was by far the best dentist experience I've had.

    I hadn't been to the dentist in 2+ years so I was very nervous about my first visit by Megan made me feel so comfortable and was very informative about my dental hygiene.

    Gentry Dentistry was an adorable boutique-like experience. I was shocked at how modern the tools they had were. The specialist doing my routine cleaning even took pictures during it to show me where my problem areas were.

    The office had great staff and was in a great location. The dental experience with Angela was tranquil, informative and very pleasant. She answered my questions and gave good advice. The office was cozy, easy to find and the water was a plus. I found my new regular dentist.

    I usually hate going to the dentist, but the people working on my teeth were very professional and made sure I was comfortable throughout. They even gave me cute little sunglasses to protect my eyes from the lights! Great space too and super convenient - already scheduled my next checkup

    Great experience. The doctor suggested me correct fixings for my teeth and did not try to oversell like my previous dentist. Proactively, gave me step by step approach of what she is planning to do and did not put me on spot about.

    Felt very comfortable for someone who doesn't love the dentist! The space was very inviting, nice location (right by bart). Staff was very knowledgeable, nice to talk with. They were conscious of pricing and scheduling treatment in a way that makes financial sense.

    Dr. Gentry's office was nice. Everyone there was helpful and answered my questions. They started by taking pictures of my teeth. I was curious so I requested a picture after they cleaned the tartar in the worst spot and they indulged my request!

    Angela was my hygienist and did an awesome job telling me what she was going to do before she did it. Dr. Gentry wasn't available so I just had a cleaning. I have a follow up appointment with Dr. Gentry next week to finish up.

    Dr. Gentry was super comprehensive, very helpful and informative in the process to getting my teeth in perfect shape. All of the staff was professional, and compared to my previous dentists, this office is by far the most advanced when it comes to technology, methods, and processes used. I felt like a celebrity client.

    I really enjoyed my visit! I had a general check-up and cleaning done. The technology was very modern and I enjoyed being able to look at up-close pictures of my teeth. The staff is very friendly and communicative, and walk you through each step. Since my wisdom tooth was hurting, they even had Dr. Gentry come in to do a quick examination despite her packed schedule.

    Overall Gentry Dentistry was a great experience. They send out a questionnaire prior to the visit which they ask you if you're uncomfortable with any part of the cleaning. Once at the visit, they offer you headphones to help with the noise. The hygienist was very insightful, and very gentle.

    I have only had one dentist my whole life so picking a new dentist in the SF area was a bit overwhelming. I found Dr. Gentry on Opencare and I was super happy with my first exam and cleaning! The office is very nice and service was fantastic for booking appointments. Definitely found my new dentist!

    Awesome experience and great dentist office! They were prompt and on time for my appointment. I haven’t been to the dentist in a long time (too long) but they weren’t judgemental at all and patiently described my teeth conditions to me. I am now looking forward to staying with them for a while and getting back on a regular cleaning schedule!

    Very friendly, professional, and awesome equipment. Look forward to returning! (never thought I'd say that). Although I did find it strange that the Dentist doesn't review the cleaning afterwards - it's a separate appointment.

    This was a pretty easy process. All I needed my insurance details and they found a dentist in the area pretty quickly! They gave a number of times available for me to chose what was convenient to me. After the appointment was scheduled, I was sent timely reminders.

    Dr. Gentry’s office takes their appointment times very seriously. They send many reminders and ask for confirmation which is super helpful, since they charge a fee if you miss your appointment. My hygienist was great - extremely personable and explained everything she was doing so I felt comfortable. Dr. Gentry was very professional for my consultation and reccomendations for my dental health. They also helped explain costs for future visit for a cavity filling. Overall it was pleasant experience and I felt everyone in the office was helpful, clear and happy.

Emily herself was also so friendly and personable. The cleaning was painless and went by quickly. Would recommend coming here!
