All Smiles Dental

I’ve been coming to Dr. Ho for about 1 and a half years. Wonderful dentist who is thorough with his cleaning and cavity work. He is also very educational and told me about how to floss better, which I started doing and the next visit it looked like I had better gums/​teeth.
What puts Dr. Ho and his staff over the top is their attention to service and care. The other day I had a chipped tooth after biting into a pebble in my meal (not eating there again). I immediately called the office, and initially I had booked for later that week. 10 minutes later, I realized the chipped tooth was a little sensitive and called back and ask if they could see me that day. Luckily he was able to squeeze me in.
I went in the same day, he looked at the chip and patched it up good as new.
If you are looking for a competent, wonderful, and friendly dentist, Dr. Ho and his staff is where you need to go.

I visited Dr. Cuong Ho today for a dental emergency regarding molar pain. Dr. Ho proceeded to ratchet up the pricing unnecessarily and deceptively.
1) He said a full clean was necessary and would cost $ 1,100. Yet, I recently had a full clean and there is insufficient reason for another.
2) A dental practice a few doors from them is charging less than $ 210 for the same procedure, with extras, and equal quality.
3) He viewed 2 — molars that have been major pain and expenses, and said he’d have to do root canals on them for $ 3,000+.
Truth, they are prime extraction candidates due to non-​use. Extraction would cost approx. $ 100 per tooth! $ 3,000 — $ 200 = $ 2,800 overcharge (excluding my insurance payment). How exorbitantly greedy is that?
His website touts his Vietnam immigrant «makes good» story. Yet, he obviously has no qualms cheating Americans with price gouging for unnecessary procedures while smiling to their faces posing as a «nice dentist». There’s nothing nice about robbing people in pain and trusting him for help.
*Note: To all those enamored of Dr. Cuong Ho, re-​check your dental bills to determine if the procedures were necessary, or if they could have been done for thousands of dollars less. Then you’ll understand — just because he smiles and is «nice» to you, doesn’t mean he’s your friend or advocate — financially, dentally, or otherwise.

I’ve heard really great reviews about this office so I decided to call and see about making an appointment. However when I called to make an
the appointment I spoke to a really rude man who rushed me on the phone and hung up in my face. Very unpleasant. Definitely not even going to consider this office.

I have to give them five stars because I recently went and had work done on my teeth. They were very polite as well as showed me what my insurance would pay and what I would have to pay before they started the work. I was happy with the work as well as having my teeth whiter then ever! About two months later I started get letters in the mail saying I OWNED money! What?! Very confused I went back up there and demanded answer. The assistant secretary was very patient with me and even called my insurance company to clean up this messy situation. After about an hour of phone calls we finally cleared the problem and I was given a refund. Sooooo with that being said they know how important their clients are and are willing to make sure you continue to come back!!!

I typically hate going to see the dentist but this place makes you feel relaxed. Best dentist I’ve ever had!

Best Dentist ever!
I found this Dental clinic on Unilocal last minute as I was having extreme pain with an impacted wisdom tooth of mine. Dr. Ho got me in right away and was able to remove my tooth swiftly and skillfully. He is a very pleasant person and I do not think I have ever seen a Dentist hustle and move as swiftly as Dr. Ho did. I was in an out in under 45 minutes, during which time he saw two other patients as well. I did not for a minute feel neglected and was very impressed by his ability to jump back and forth between patients. The best part of my entire experience, however, was the fact that Dr. Ho took my cell phone number and would send me text messages over the next few days to check up on me and answer any questions that I had. He is by far the best Dentist I have ever had and I will never go anywhere else as long as he is still practicing!

Best experience I’ve had at a dentist. Period. My filling cracked on Saturday night, and after searching for dentists who are open on Sunday (a rarity), All Smiles Dental was one of the few. Dr. Ho responded to my call immediately and I was in his office no more than an hour later. His work is masterful and quick. I am so relieved to come across his practice!

Updating my review after my appointment today– Dr. Ho & his staff go above & beyond for their patients. I reached out to Dr. Ho for an emergency appointment & he scheduled me for the next day! Kim is a sweetheart! She gave my daughter chocolate & of course a cute pink kid toothbrush for after the chocolate. Even though it’s a bit of a drive for me coming from South San Francisco, I’m definitely not switching dentists after being so comfortable with Dr. Ho & the staff members. They are worth the drive! Lol thank you again Dr. Ho & Kim!

Talented endodontist at a well run business — recommended.
All Smiles is open on the weekend (rare in my world), were able to fit me in for Saturday afternoon root canal even though I didn’t reach out until Friday night when Advil stopped working and I could not fathom waiting for my 6 day off appointment. Dr. Ho texted me within a half hour of my appointment request, gave me an appointment time for Saturday and gathered key bits of info to know in advance. Saturday at 2:30, we started right on time and Dr. Lau was my guy. He clearly and calmly communicated what he was going to do and what might happen in a worst case scenario — excellent bedside manner. Then Dr. Lau performed the root canal as good as a root canal can be. When I felt the smallest bit of discomfort, he ceased what he was doing and added more Novocain (or whatever numbing potion we’re using these days). I would definitely recommend Dr. Lau for root canals. Dr. Ho texted me to check in the next day to see how I was doing. Nice touch.
It was a bit cold in the office so I asked for a blanket and since they didn’t have one they put the lead apron on my legs, which was actually kinda nice though my feet were still cold. I told Dr. Ho and he said he would be getting a patient blanket. They offer a cash/​check discount which is helpful and appreciated by folks like me with lame or no dental insurance.

I was referred to Dr Ho by my brother who apparently had the most painless and blissful wisdom teeth removal experience ever!
I didn’t really experience any pain from an impacted wisdom tooth but I wanted to get all 4 removed. Due to past experiences, I was a bit anxious and nervous the day of the surgery because I’m not very fond of dentist. Dr Ho was very friendly and reassuring that it was not going to be painful at all. I really liked how he explained the process of the extraction as it was happening so I knew what was going on; that really made me feel at ease. I got all 4 wisdom teeth removed on Saturday morning and was back at work on Monday.
I must say, I’m very glad my brother referred me because my experience was just as painless and blissful. I would highly recommend Dr Ho to everyone.

I came in for an emergency procedure and had some trouble with my insurance. The team was so patient with me and really helped me out. Dr. Ho was so kind and I had to get a root canal and the other dentist that did the root canal was so thorough and helpful. He kept making sure I was comfortable. Definitely will make this my go to dentist now. Thanks guys!

Excellent and professional, I highly recommend Dr. Ho and his team.
I came in initially for a routine cleaning, but it turned out that I needed a deep cleaning, and based on a past experience, well… I was totally chickening out about it. But, it was totally (and amazingly) pain-​free, and for the rest of the day I had this weird feeling that I hadn’t actually gone to the dentist — there was also no residual discomfort, no gum bleeding, etc. This is an excellent, excellent dentistry, and one of the best you’ll find around S.F. (and perhaps anywhere!)

Dr Ho and his team are great! I had an extraction done (6 months ago) and now working on an implant. They are flexible to schedule and work on Saturdays and Sundays which is a plus for people who are busy during the week.

Best dentist ever!
I needed an emergency wisdom teeth removal and Dr Ho was kind enough to fit me in on the same day. Additionally, he didn’t rush me at all throughout the whole process.
As for the teeth extraction skills… He is excellent. Took my wisdom teeth out in one clean piece! No cutting or anything. I ended up with no pain and no swelling at all. He even gave me a little box to display my beautiful (kinda?) INTACT tooth.
Overall, Dr Ho is a very kind, patient, and skillful dentist. Highly recommended!

I found Dr. Ho on Unilocal because of his glowing reviews. I had never been to this practice but Dr. Ho came in on his day off to extract my wisdom teeth. He made time for me because he knew I was in quite a bit of pain. The operation was very quick and relatively painless. He was very professional and the operation seemed very routine for him. He answered all my questions and provided me with a sheet of paper with what to expect for the next 48 hours. I was impressed with his care, attention and speed.
He even followed up on his personal phone that night and the next day to make sure I was doing okay. This was a great experience and I would recommend All Smiles to anyone.

My SO needed to come in for an emergency appointment (we are new patients) as Dr Ho was one of the very few dentists that were open on a Saturday and that was willing to see us on such short notice.
Even though we didn’t have an appointment he still managed to squeeze us in between patients due to the urgency of his tooth needing to be pulled out. Dr. Ho was extremely professional and nice and we were so lucky to have found his office!
Dr. Ho provided excellent service and after treatment care along with detailed information. Dr. Ho even took the time to check up on my SO later that night to make sure he was doing okay and also answered questions regarding his recovery process. I am amazed to say the least!
If you are ever looking for exceptional dental care come here for Dr. Ho as you will definitely be taken care of.

My first deep cleaning, so nervous.
Cuong doctors attentive serious working attitude.
Let me relax.
Clean white teeth.
Thank you for your professional services.

Dr. Ho is an amazing dentist! Best I have ever had. This is a no fuss type of place. They make sure you are taken care of as quickly as possible. Had to get my wisdom tooth out because I was in so much pain and they got me in a day after calling! They take insurance and always keep you in the know of cost and what they can do. If I wasn’t getting dental work done this would be one of my favorite places in SF. Lol OK exaggerating a little but they are truly wonderful.
Dr. Ho texted me and checked in to make sure I was OK that’s right he texts!
Felt safe and in good hands always.

Best dentist I have been to! (And I have been to a lot). An old full crown on my front tooth broke off, I called dr. Ho and he was able to see me immediately. There team had molded me a new tooth, and attached it in only 1hour. The amazing part is that the temp looks better than the previous crown!
The staff is always very nice and does a great job! Go to all smiles!

Had a dental emergency and needed surgery to remove a wisdom tooth.
Called for an appointment on Sunday, specified what was needed and was told that Dr. Ho was out but told to make an appointment the next day (Monday) to meet him.
Came on Monday, in worse pain, and found out Dr. Ho was still on vacay.
Was given Dr. Nguyen, who was not only really rough during the examination but rushed it too! Then to top it all off, he said he wasnt the right person for an extraction and referred me to another doctor! Wtf! Are you kidding me!?! He charged $ 400 for it!
What a scam and WASTE OF TIME!
Never going back to this place again.
