Skyline Dental Studio

I hadn’t been to the Dentist for 25 years, drink lots of coffee, smoke and didn’t floss. But I was in growing pain, so I resolved to talk publicly about my achey teeth, at which point my friend made an emergency appointment for me (and she also picked out Dr. Pihur based on Unilocal).
Needless to say, I needed a lot of work done. Dr. Pihur saved my tooth, whose filling had come loose and there was a cavity behind the filling. It seemed as if there were cavities atop cavities. She handled everything with such wit and compassion that I went in for a comprehensive exam and had her fix all of my teeth.
Turns out, it’s important to go to the Dentist often. Dr. Pihur took full x-​rays and among other things, showed me little seeds of cavities growing and reaching for the root of my teeth. They were everywhere, and regardless of where they form, they can sense where the heart of your tooth is relative to their current position and start digging their way towards it. It’s like they have a mind yet you cannot reason with them. Once they reach the heart they destroy it and kill your tooth.
Dr. Pihur fought for my teeth and did so with extreme gentleness. I was surprised at how little discomfort there was with all of the drilling and filling. Really the most trying part of the whole experience was having a lot of things in your mouth and keeping still, which is a small price to pay for saving your teeth. Nor did I feel like a leper due to my poor dental heath.
Go and make an appointment today! She is the best.

Staff is always friendly and attentive to your needs. Dr. Tatyana Pihur is knowledgeable and always explains what she’s doing in an easy to understand matter. She also cares about your comfort when she’s working on you, which is something I appreciate greatly. I recommend her to anyone who wonders what a good dental experience is like.

Dr. Pihur is incredible. She is extremely intelligent, knowledgeable, incredibly honest, and most importantly, the best dentist I have ever been to.
For a while, it seemed I was changing dentists as frequently as some people change their socks. I had dentists that wanted to do unnecessary root canals; one who cracked my tooth; another who completely screwed up a crown; one who drilled my tooth so much it couldn’t hold that same crown; one who wanted to refer me to a buddy of his for a ridiculously expensive procedure that was completely unnecessary for a problem that was caused by another dentist in his business (I am sure he was getting a handsome referral fee); and many other ones who either gouged me financially, or recommended unnecessary expenses.
Then my husband told me about Dr. Pihur. Her staff is completely professional and does not overbook appointments, which means Dr. Pihur is incredibly punctual for her appointments. Dr. Pihur, herself, is as honest as the day. Her office is incredibly beautiful and has incredible views, but her prices are very reasonable. Despite her tremendous knowledge and expertise, Dr. Pihur’s has an unassuming and very personable and compassionate nature. I have to agree with another reviewer that said Dr. Pihur is the best dentist in the Bay Area.

Dr. Pihur and all her entire office are wonderful. Always cheerful, kind and caring, Dr. Pihur minimizes the pain of going to the dentist. I get my regular cleanings here as well as had my wisdom teeth removed and it’s always been great!

Hands down– Dr. Tatyana Pihur is the Best dentist in the Bay Area and her staff is the friendliest and most competent people I’ve met in a while.
I’ve resisted going to a dentist for Years.
I finally decided that I absolutely needed to go and Unilocal (yes Unilocal) found me the best dentist… who’s also a 5 min walk away from my apt.
Her sessions start on time, she’s non-​judgmental, friendly, professional, calm and efficient. Her staff is on point– patiently explaining my treatment plan, clearly detailing copay costs and follows up with emails and txt messages.
My recent wisdom teeth extraction was painless, fast, and recovery took less than 24 hours, just as she predicted, much to the shock and awe of Everyone. Folks were scaring me with weeklong recovery stories but nope, Tatyana forecasted a 24hr recovery period and i didn’t even need pain meds after 1 ibuprofen.
If I’d known dentists could be such magical unicorns, I’d have visited a loooong time ago. I’m actually looking forward to my next cleaning!
Highly recommend Tatyana and skyline dental.
Oh and the view of Coit Tower and the bay from the dentist chair doesn’t hurt either.
And yes, they take Cigna dental coverage and copay is super affordable.

As someone who went 10 years without going to the dentist, the the thought of going through braces, was absolutely parallelizing. That is until I met Dr. Pihur. She completely put me at ease about the process every step of the way. She is the perfect blend of experience and great patient care. She has completely turned me into a dentist convert… I’m actually looking forward to my 6 month cleaning!

Wow! The only word I can say about Skyline Dental Studio. I have never felt so comfortable in dentist chair. Tatyana is super funny, smart and intelligent person. She makes you laugh and forget about fear of being drilled ;) the studio is equipped with art of state machines and computer. First time in my life and saw what is really going on in my mouth. I have been shown the pictures of my teeth before and after the treatment. Finally I found best affordable dentist in SF. Tatyana’s assistant helped me to open a credit line, so i can pay my bills on my own conditions. Also studio conveniently located in downtown, they have garage parking 1 block away.
BTW the view is amazing. Best Dental studio in San Francisco! 10 stars!!!

I’m a picky customer. I work in medicine. I know when someone is good, and Dr. Pihur is good. She’s technically skilled, has an excellent bedside manner and cares deeply for her patients. We’ve spoken several times about how much continuing education she does (it’s a lot!). I had a very difficult extraction– she was calm, collected and explained everything to me every step of the way. I was impressed. Since then we’ve been working on my smile with Fast Braces– looking good if I do say so myself. I look forward to going to the dentist… and not many people get to say that.
And not that you go to the dentist for the view– but the view out of that dental chair is one of the best views in the city.

This is by far the best dentist I have ever gone to. Very honest. Dr. Pihur is amazing. She’s also extremely friendly, thoughtful, and honest. It is a clean relaxed environment that makes going to the dentist a much less scary experience. She listened to all my questions and gave full and clear answers I will not going anywhere else from now on. Thank you so much for making my teeth look great! Looking forward to next appointment :)))

Honestly, I’ve been looking a dentist in SF for a while. I’ve tried at least 4 or 5 but nobody could offer a perfect service. All the time something went wrong. Fortunately, I met Tanyanu. Besides being a wonderful person with positive energy, she is also highly professional in her field. She is really thoughtful about her clients! Gladly, I found my dentist:)

Dr. Pihur is so intelligent, caring, funny, and pleasant in addition to being truly masterful as a practitioner. Her cleanings are incredible — she takes the time to be both gentle AND thorough. Her attention to detail is exceptional. What I love best about her is how tuned in she is to what’s happening for me during procedures. She’s very present.
Dr. Pihur has single-​handedly cured my massive fear of dental work and I honestly look forward to seeing her! She is my dentist for life — I love her. Please treat yourself to the BEST dental care and go see her!

Phobia — an exaggerated and often disabling fear usually inexplicable to the subject and having sometimes a logical but usually an illogical or symbolic object, class of objects, or situation.
Everyone has phobias. Some have Arachnophobia, some Thanatophobia, some Vehophbia…
I have dentophbia. Let’s not elaborate on my dental details, but let’s just say I would rather be tried by Holy Inquisition, followed by Gestapo questioning.
I HAD dentohbia, until I met Dr. Pihur. The office in itself deserves a separate review but here are a few major points: clean, bright and does not smell like medical office. The personal assistant is very efficient, and views from the dental chair are spectacular.
Dr. Pihur started with the dental hygiene, which was a bliss that yield a pretty comprehensive dental plan inclusive of fillings, extraction, and few other scary things.
I sucked it up and decided to proceed with my initial 2 front teeth. Drilling and filling. I have not felt a thing. The Doctor and her assistant were super attentive. The entire procedure was a piece of cake!
I would never imagine that I would say this, but I do look forward to my next appointment! And I live and work in Menlo Park. Yes, it is worth totally worth it.

I saw Dr. Pihur for a same-​day wisdom tooth removal appointment and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I was expecting a complicated procedure with a long recovery period, but in the end it took less than an hour, with what seemed like only ten minutes between the administration of anesthesia and the removal of the problem tooth. Dr. Pihur was able to answer all of my questions and put me at ease about the procedure and post-​operative care. Highly recommended!

Had my first visit to Dr. Pihur for a cleaning/​check-​up today and it was great. Ultra-​professional practice with an incredible view. She was really informative and took the time to answer all my questions. Receptionist was super-​helpful and nice. Although I miss my former dentist who was also awesome (in Marin) I had to find someone closer. So happy to have found his equal (dare I say better even?) in Dr. Pihur and her practice!

If you want friendly, professional, honest and great results, then you’ve found the right place!

Knowledgeable, current and practical, Dr. Pihur is a fabulous dentist supported by equally amazing staff. She cares very much about your comfort level — first you fill out a form that states your preferences, and then she actually follows through. She’s personable and has a great «bedside» manner, always explaining what she’s about to do or why she’s doing something. I love that transparency.
Her receptionist is speedy and very accommodating. Before I became a patient, she patiently got me some quote estimates without even knowing if I was going to come in or not. Even today, she was able to get me some quotes for some dental work that Dr. Pihur and I talked about in within the same visit. Great service all around!

Dr Pihar is the BEST! I am soo glad I read the previous Unilocal reviews and found her. She is so friendly and I feel like we could be best friends. Who says that after a dentist appointment?
A few days ago I had a teeth cleaning and she did an amazing job. She also filled a few cavities and it was painless. I totally recommend her to anyone.

I am very, very happy with Skyline Dental!
Most of that happiness comes from Dr. Pihur herself. She is charming, professional, and very committed to helping me do the best thing for my teeth. She is perhaps the first dentist who has actually convinced me to floss.
I won’t say that I look forward to going to the dentist, but I *almost* do because of Dr. Pihur.
The view from the dental chair is really amazing, too. I highly recommend Skyline Dental and Dr. Pihur.

Hi, my name is Cassidy and I’m a Pilates instructor here. in downtown San Francisco.
I went to Skyline for a regular cleaning appointment.
Yes, the office is conveniently located and yes it has an incredible view!
What I really appreciated was the thoroughness of the exam and cleaning plus the incredible friendly and experienced staff. It’s a relief to know I am in good hands and will be well taken care of from now on. Thank you Skyline!

Dr Pihar was amazing yesterday. It had been considerably too long since I had seen a dentist, and I was ready for lots of pain.
She was SO gentle, and not at all nagging about my lack of dental visits.
The pre appointment paperwork asked tons of questions about me as a patient, including things like do I not want to see the equipment used, do I not want to be alone in the chair, do I object to the smells of a dental office. None of these concerned me, but immediately impressed me and showed how much she wants to put her patients at ease. Even her choice of office is relaxing with one of the best views on the City that I have ever seen.
The Doc really cares about her patients and wants us to he comfortable at all times. Best chairside manner that I have every seen. Even her voice and conversation is all about being soothing and calming. Not to mention, she is charming and very funny, and told one VERY inappropriate and VERY funny story about a recent encounter on a SF street. I will not repeat her story here, but it was like talking to a friend, and the story makes me giggle even this morning. She is a great judge of people and instinctively knew how funny I would find it.
She is one of those incredibly beautiful women for whom her beauty is her least interesting trait.
I plan to be a LONG TERM patient. I cannot recommend her higher, and my teeth feel GREAT this morning! She apologized at the start of our appointment that she had a bad headache and might not be as friendly as she wanted to be., if I only saw her «B» game, I can’t wait to see her at her best!
Thanks, Doc ! I’ll see you soon!
