Suzanne Sablan, DDS

Dr. Sablan is the most caring professional dentist you could find. I highly recommend her. The office staff is so friendly
I have always dreaded going to the dentist, but not to Dr. Sablan
I trust her implicitly

Everyone here are super friendly! I came here to get my wisdom teeth taken out, and I was scared out of my mind. I’m a type of person who hates going to the dentist, so I was very anxious about it. But they were really nice and walked me through the procedures, and made sure I was comfortable. Unfortunately, they do not offer you to sleep, so you’ll have to be awake for it. They made sure I was numbed for the procedure because I do not want to feel any pain through my operation. Dr. Hanna was the surgeon and Suzanne assisted, both were super friendly. Dr. Hanna was great. He explained everything he was going to do and made sure I understood it. The operation went well, didn’t feel much pain, phew! But I did swell up like a ballon. They were not lying! Overall, my experience here was great. If you need to find a place to get your wisdom teeth out, this would be a good place to go.
BONUS** They offer free small water bottle in their waiting area.

you will definitely walk out of here with a smile. Manny was the person that did my cleaning and he is very friendly, thorough and goes the extra mile to ensure your a comfortable patient. The ladies at the front were all very helpful, they had all my information prepared and ready to go for the end of my visit. Efficient

What can I say, great service, great staff and a Dentist who make you feel very comfortable.

Always a great experience at The Dental People. My entire family is seen here. We’ve been going here for years and I’ve never had one bad experience.

Friendly customer service, but taking x-​Ray is a nightmare, the device that you need to bite hurts your mouth, even though I complained about it.

We consistently get excellent care here. Everyone is very nice and friendly. The office is clean and we have little or no waiting time for our appointments.

The Hygienists were very professional, accommodating to my concerns. They knew exactly who I was and knew exact what I was coming for. Very prompt, didn’t have to wait long in the waiting room. The Hygienist was very easy to talk to, explain my concerns and made sure I was comfortable at all times through the procedure.

Just got my cleaning done. Second time at this place and have no complains. I live in San Francisco but come to this place for my dental needs. Recommended by family friends.
Front desk is friendly. Didn’t have to wait to get my cleaning done. Had my fillings done here too and everything has been perfect.

Dr. Sablan is a wonderful person and dentist! She talks you through everything so that you thoroughly understand the treatment plan and her staff is great!

This place is awesome! Dr. Sablan really knows her stuff! She is so professional, has a sense of humor, and educates her patients well. She made sure that I was clear with my root canal before I scheduled an appointment. The rest of the staff are also very helpful, comforting, funny, and informative. They helped out with whatever they can before and after my appointments and made sure I left with a smile. The fees are better priced than other dental offices around as I’ve shopped around prior to coming here. I recommend The Dental People to everyone I know.

I love this place! I was terrified of the dentist before coming here but now I love going because of Dr. Sablan! I have referred so many people to her because she and her whole staff are so nice. The receptionist, Danielle is the best. I was crying on the phone when I made my first appointment and she assured me everything would be ok and didn’t think I was a weirdo haha.
Turns out I had gotten a horrible infection in one of my wisdom teeth because I hadn’t been to the dentist in 5 yrs. Dr. Sablan took me in for a free consultation and in the calmest way possible told me that my wisdom teeth need to come out asap. She went over all the options for me since I have such sensitive teeth and was so terrified of having them take them out without being put to sleep. Ended up going with the laughing gas and it was great! I highly recommend her!!! Best dentist I’ve ever had and I’m definitely over my fear now thanks to her :)
She will cure your anxiety. Trust me on this one.

This place is OK for a regular 6 months cleaning but nothing beyond that. It was a total ripoff for me even though I had a very good insurance. On top of that, they accidentally took out my old filing and refused to do it again free of charge.

She noted I had a bad cavity after taking an xray, but another dentist could not find it???

This is probably a poor analogy, but the best way I’d like to think about this dental office is to treat it like a local oil change shop. It has friendly staff and does a simple dental cleaning job quickly. But I would not suggest relying on their service and recommendation for anything more serious beyond the normal 6-​months cleaning.
If you are just looking for a place for your 6 month cleaning, this is probably an OK place to go. But if recommended for any major procedure, I’d highly recommend to get a 2^nd opinion to confirm the necessity of the procedure.

My wife and I both went to The Dental People when we moved here. My wife left first: she had two fillings done in teeth that had been watched by previous dentists for years, and those fillings caused her major tooth sensitivity that she still has to this day.
I lasted a couple years longer, perhaps because I’ve had so much dental work that I tolerate tooth sensitivity better than my wife does. In the end I had to leave because I just couldn’t be confident that the work would be done well. I had a crown done (it’s a rear molar, so it was a gold crown), but apparently they took a bad impression, and it had to be «shaped» with a drill (multiple times) so it didn’t impact my upper molar. That’s not supposed to happen. So from day one, my crown has had a hole in the gold layer that’s supposed to protect it. My new dentist has to check it at very visit for structural integrity.
I also had a filling done on one of my other molars. Except now I’ve got a temporary crown on that tooth, because in the span of less than two years the filling broke. The 5 – 6 year old filling right next to it, done by my old dentist in Kansas? That one’s doing just fine. Fillings are supposed to last longer than two years.
I also was pushed into getting a night guard, likely because they wanted to blame my crown damage on teeth grinding (which I don’t do; furthermore, if I did grind my teeth and the grinding caused the damage, the older gold crown I have directly *above* the damaged crown would show similar damage, and it doesn’t). So for some reason I acceded to a night guard. Except the first night I tried it, it didn’t fit. I wore it anyway, and my teeth ached the entire day afterward. Not to mention that they shouldn’t have pushed me into a night guard anyway because I was in the process of getting a dental implant and didn’t have all my teeth, so the night guard would be instantly obsolete in a few months anyway.
Competence isn’t just a problem with the dentists here: at one point during a cleaning the hygienist literally started to try to pull one of my ceramic crowns off. Ceramic crowns typically have a «seam» above the gum line where they attach to the tooth, and I kid you not, he started tugging at the crown with his metal cleaning pick like he wanted to pull it off. Multiple times! Until I went «AAAAAH» and he stopped. Why would he do that?
Anyway, to sum it up: 2 bad fillings for my wife, (at least) 1 bad filling for me, 1 bad crown for me, 1 bad night guard for me. This isn’t the level of competence I expect from a dentist, and I’ve had *a lot* of dental work in my life. Are they nice people? Sure. Great. Maybe they’re fun to hang out with. But they just don’t do quality dental work. If you’re one of those lucky souls who never gets cavities and never has trouble, by all means — go to the Dental People for your cleanings. But as soon as you need actual work done, find someone else.

I drove by the The Dental People and decided to stop in and see if I could get a cleaning. They were able to get me in an hour after I stopped by
They were professional, courteous and informed me about everything that was going to happen.
The cleaning was painless and very quick, although they did want me to come back in for a «deep cleaning» where other dentists merely did both the cleaning and deep cleaning at the same time, so I was a little confused with that. other than that, though, the experience was very good !

I love Dr. Sablan and her staff! I have been with her for about 2 years and they’ve taken really good care with me. Previously, I used to have an absolute fear visiting these tooth doctors, until I met this extremely caring staff.
Recently, I got into a bad car accident and the air bag that popped out chipped a part of my front teeth. Rather than going to the hospital to find out if I had a concussion or anything serious like that, I decided to call the Dental People to check out my teeth. I know, vain, but hey, I felt fine at the time except for the fact that I had a broken smile! The front desk heard my ordeal and immediately booked me in that same day, a few hours later! That’s the kind of service you receive, ALL the time!
I urge all of you who are looking for the best quality service for your pearly whites, to go check out the Dental People off of Stevenson Blvd. And if you’re looking for a cleaning, Manny’s the Man. =)

2 stars for the nice staff. However, I will not return for the following reasons:
–Dr. S filled a cavity in between my teeth. After a few days I was in pain. She refilled it a 2^nd time. Few days later, pain. Went back and explained what I was feeling and she said she had to fill it a 3^rd time. I decided I would get a second opinion.
We made an appointment with another Dr. We picked up our X-​rays from Sablan and when we got to the other dental office, the staff at the new office realized Sablans office switched my X-​rays with my husband’s X-​rays. Yikes.
The new dr took a new bite wing and immediately identified the cause of my pain, a pocket. The filling wasn’t done right twice.
Sablan’s office is really high tech, flat screens, etc. but I would have preferred not having to endure so much pain for what started as a small cavity and having to foot the bill to resolve the problem.

I really want to give 5 stars but I had to remove 1 star for one of the lady Hygienist. I think she was new. I don’t remember her name. She was a bit older lady. She was very nice and sweet lady but she was way too rough and it was very painful. I think getting tattoos was least painful then her scraping my mouth apart. I will be requesting different Hygienist perhaps Manual on my next cleaning. Manual was my first Hygienist. He was awesome. Very gentle and same time he cleaned them very well. Manual get 5 stars from me.
I would give 5 stars to Dr. Sablan. She has not done actual work on me as yet. I’ve visited few times for our plan. She is very experience, very calm and explain very well. I feel very confident already about the work we are about to do. She showed me the model of the work she about to do on my upper veneer. I was very impressed to see them. I am just very excited and have a good feeling about this. I am hoping the actual good work will make me change from 4 stars to 5 stars. Until then stay tuned!
Dr. Sablan just completed with my veneer today. It was a bit of the long process but all worth it. The reason it took a bit longer was Dr. Sablan took her time and make sure they look and feel perfect. I am totally happy with the result. Just the way I expected or even better. The whole staff are delightful and over all I think they deserve 5 stars. I still have more work to be done with Dr. Sablan tho. I finally feel like I found my dentist. I wish I found her in my early 20s :)
Oh BTW, that lady Hygienist is no longer working there. I feel really bad. I swear! I hope it was not because of my comment :(
