Sung Je Hong, DDS, MA, INC

I get extreme anxiety from bad experiences going to the dentist. I went to Dr Hong to have my tooth pulled a molar. Dr Hongs office put me at ease and worked well with my anxious behavior. Dr Hong explained well and the shot (one of my most fears) didnt hurt. I healed quickly with no complications. I then schedule for the next item on my list to restore my teeth and gums a deep cleaning. I was surprised I was going back into a dentist chair but so far I feel confident in Dr Hongs office. The office was also very clean!
I had a deep cleaning with Joan the hygienist. The first appointment she did oneside. I was do nervous i was sick to my stomach. I heard horror stories of deep cleaning and the pain. Joan was gentle but efficient. My mouth was fine the next day. When I went back for the other side it was a breeze. Looking forward to getting my implant with Dr Hong.
I recommend Sung Je Hong DDS for dental care and Joan for great cleaning. The manager Young and Asst. Britney are also very informative and sweet.

I had a great experience with Dr. Hong today. I have had periodontal disease for years now and haven’t been able to decide on an affordable fix for my problem. After my visit today I think I may have a resolved the problem without going into debt. The front office staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly and I finally feel hopeful about my smile.

Great dentist!
I have moved quite a few places and have had many procedures with different dentists and Dr. Hong’s practice is my favorite so far! The staff is super friendly and makes you feel right at home. I cannot say enough about how great this practice is, it is one of the few honest dental groups around these days.

Your teeth couldn’t be in better hands! I’ve been seeing Doctor Hong for over 25 years. The service and expertise has been nothing short of exceptional. From orthodontic treatment, to dental surgery, to fillings and cleanings the care I’ve received has been top notch.
For a brief period at a previous employer I lost Delta Dental coverage which is accepted by CDSG. The new insurance was less than adequate and was not accepted by CDSG. The new dentist I went to was a nightmare, so much so that for a period of time I went to CDSG and paid out of pocket for the quality of care. CDSG is at the top of dentistry’s game, offers the highest quality care I’ve ever experienced, has clean and aesthetic facilities along with courteous and professional staff. I’d recommend CDSG to anyone any day and I look forward to continued satisfaction with CDSGs dental care for years to come!

I put off having my last wisdom tooth removed for 8 yrs as I needed a specialist and didn’t wanna go, I was nervous about the pain! I was referred to Dr. Hongs office to see if he could remove the hook wisdom tooth. I was pleased that Dr. Hong removed it at my first visit with no pain and it was SOOO FAST! I really like my new dentist he is funny too.

I recently had root canal treatments on two different occasions over two weeks and was so much impressed with Dr. Hong’s compassionate care and staff’s attentiveness. I will come back for future treatments.

I believe in finding a valuable good physician is like a jewel.

This guy sucks, got a lateral crown that he had to do three times and it was still a bad match with my other teeth. I had a small natural gap and he decided to build the crown to cover the gap– result, part of the crown breaking because the integrity (strength of the crown) was compromised. When I went back a couple times for cleanings afterwards, he never even talked to me after I complained. This guy is all about money and he sucks! PLEASE STAY AWAY!!!

California Dental Specialties is a high end practice. I found them after researching who offers advanced dental reconstruction expertise for a friend. Dr. Hong was one of only eight in a 50 mile radius who is board certified in Prosthodontics. Among that small group, his qualifications stand out and he teaches at UCSF.
I was seen by Dr. Kim for general dentistry work, including deep cleaning, and filling repair.
My overall assessment: This is the best dental experience I’ve ever had. This is an outstanding practice.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
Front office and administrative personnel were friendly, cheerful and looked like they enjoy their work. Visitors are greeting immediately, and the overall attitude is chipper and positive. After my first procedure, one of the staff made 6 attempts to find a pharmacy that carried a rare prescription. E-​mail and phone reminders of appointments were sent on a timely basis. Insurance billing was handled as if on automatic pilot, billing was clearly explained. Appointment scheduling was briskly handled, even last minute changes were accommodated with no drama.
LOCATION/​FACILITIES
The practice is located in a ground floor suite in a Sunnyvale office park with ample parking. The building and suite, down to the cleanliness of the restroom was great. Equipment, tools and facilities appear to be consistent with what a specialist facility would require.
PROCEDURE/​QUALITY/​WORKMANSHIP
Dr. Kim gets my highest marks. I have high sensitivity to dental pain and she was deft in her work. At points while she was numbing me, I could not identify when she started or stopped. Dr. Kim’s filling work was similarly off the chart (well done). I especially appreciated her attention to detail in terms of the fit of the filling. She was able to improve the feel of my teeth by repeatedly adjusting the shape of the fillings. I also liked how she was able to spot calculus (high spots and edges) and to smooth things out. An analogy: if shaping fillings is like doing bodywork on a car, Dr. Kim’s work is what you’d want for a Porsche.
BEDSIDE MANNER/​FOLLOW-​UP
Absolutely lovable woman, Dr. Kim. We had fun and interesting conversations, and what stands out is that she clearly cares about patients. I received a follow-​up phone call to make sure I was doing well after the procedure. With some doctors, you feel as though you’re on an assembly line — time limited, and receiving partial attention. Dr. Kim is patient-​focused.
Anyone who has read my reviews knows that I would not hesitate to recommend improvement areas. With Dr. Kim and this practice started by Dr. Hong, I can happily say there are none that I can identify. This is another review that is a pleasure to write.

Dr. Hong has taken care of my dental needs off and on since I was a child. He has always been there for my family and we receive wonderful care and service from his office. Recently Dr. Hong and his team went out of their way to get me on the schedule for a tooth extraction at he last minute. They went WAY above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of.
I would highly recommend Dr. Hong services for your dental needs.

Had a great experience overall at Dr. Hong’s office– really clean office with lots of parking (in an office park).
They were able to accommodate my schedule and worked to fit me in before I had to move… I did a cleaning, a deep cleaning, and had some fillings all in 1 month. The hygenist is great and really thorough. I would recommend this office to anyone looking for a dentist in the area.

I’ve been to a lot of dentists in my day and I can honestly say that Dr. Hong and his staff are top-​notch.
The real benefit of this place is in the staff. The front desk staff are so friendly and patient. They work with you very carefully with financing and payment issues. Joan, the hygienist is so incredibly phenomenal.
Dr. Hong is a very nice guy. His examinations are quick, but he does take the time to talk to you about any issues that you might have.
Overall, I would highly recommend this dental office.

Dr. Hong is masterful. I’ve had a problem with my upper two front teeth for 50 years that required bonding and rebonding and repair. The bonding broke down [again!] and I consulted two dentists and an orthodontist. None of them thought they could fix it – they said the ONLY way to deal with it would be crowns — not enough tooth left to do anything else. I went to Dr. Hong for a last-​chance consult and he did the job perfectly, with rebond and some internal wires — he even sandblasted the wires to increase the surface area so it would hold. The whole thing took him about an hour and he did it without any anesthesia [I hate needles!] and barely any discomfort at all. This guy saved my two front teeh. Totally amazing.

I highly recommend Doctor Hong. He is very professional and has a lot of knowledge. My mother, my brother and I have been going to the same dentist for years but we decided to give Doctor Hong a try. We are all very happy with his services. My mom has had bad gum infections and gum problems for years and ever since she started seeing Doctor Hong her gum problems and infections have improved big time. Doctor Hong gave my mom tips on things that she needed to do to help avoid getting infections. One of the thing that I like about Doctor Hong is that he specializes in a lot of different areas of dentistry. He explains things so you can understand them. My brother also has gums problems and Dr. Hong also helped my brother and taught my brother how to care for his teeth and how to brush his teeth correctly. My old dentist did not tell my mother or brother anything about their gums for their gums. I like that Dr. Hong did that because they have both seen improvements with their gums and their infections. My mom has not gotten one since she started seeing Dr. Hong and it has been over a year since we started seeing him. She would get infections at least six times per year. His dental hygienist is super friendly and very professional too. My mother and I both enjoyed our cleaning with her. My mom and brother had some deep cleanings done to her and she did a great job on my them. She was really professional and friendly. She asked my mom a lot of questions and made sure my mom felt comfortable during her deep cleaning visits. Doctor Hong’s office is really professional, friendly service, and clean. We highly recommend Doctor Hong.

Dr. Hong saved my mouth.
Back when I was in college, I did something stupid. Actually, I did a lot of stupid things, but this was pretty bad. I got a cavity, and since I have this immense fear of the dentist, I did nothing about it, thinking that it would just… go away. Sadly, that’s not even the stupid part. About a month later I was craving bubble gum, so I popped a giant wad of double bubble into my mouth. All the sudden, I started thinking «I didn’t know double bubble was crunchy…» Yea, that was my broken tooth. Gross, sad, horrific. Again, I did nothing. A couple weeks later I woke up at 5am with the most horrible pain in my jaw that I’ve ever experienced, and went in and was told I needed a root canal (you know, it actually sounds worse than it is). The emergency dentist (this was in another town) gave me some meds and told me to book an appointment with my dentist at home. So I went home, braved the Dentist’s office, and listened as he told me that it would take TWO WEEKS for my crown to come in (of course, this was after the 30 minutes of scolding and disbelief that this was the worst cavity he’d ever seen). Although I deserved this punishment, my college/​traveling schedule was going to make it really difficult to return again in a fortnight. Cue, Dr. Hong.
Dr. Hong not only made me feel super comfortable and put my fears at ease, but he has this magical machine that made my porcelain crown in not two weeks… but in AN HOUR. He even let us watch it being made. He made sure to explain to me everything he was doing so I wouldn’t be scared, and his staff was also super nice and professional.
I would definitely recommend Dr. Hong!
And I’ll never chew double bubble again.

I’ve been going to Dr. Hong for years. My 6 children, myself and my husband have all gone to him. Also friends and relatives. We have all loved him and have never had a problem. My husband has always had terrible teeth and Dr. Hong has been wonderful in treating his teeth over the years and recently giving him implants that have worked out wonderfully. Absolutely no problems. Sooo much better than dentures! Dr. Hong has state of the art technology, too. I cracked a molar and went to his office (I don’t have to wait days or weeks either to get an appointment) and in 2 hours came away with a new crown that matched my other teeth. He uses a computer to map your teeth, which sends it back to a cutting machine that makes the color-​matched crown. I could have left and come back, but I opted to wait. They leaned the chair back and dimmed the lights, and I took a nap. He then fitted the crown, made slight adjustments and I was done. No having a temporary crown put on and coming back again in 2 weeks for a fitting that might or might not fit right. I have rarely had to wait in their waiting room, so I know he doesn’t over book and I never feel rushed either. Even when I just go in for a cleaning with his hygienist, Dr. Hong takes the time to come in and talk to her about my teeth and check the x-​rays if I’ve had them taken and discuss with me any treatment I might need. He also doesn’t recommend treatment just to make money like other dentists I took my kids to before I discovered Dr. Hong. He is honest and cutting edge when it comes to dentistry. He also teaches prosthodontics at UCSF. I can honestly say I’ve never had a better dentist in my life

Stay away!!! (zero stars)
I went to Dr. Hong for years and all he did was mess up my teeth. My fillings weren’t done correctly so underneath them my teeth were rotting. Thank goodness I noticed in time to go to a new doc who was able to salvage my teeth. I had 4 fillings total and 3 had to be dug out and re-​done because Dr. Hong didn’t drill out the cavity completely.
Over the years Dr. Hong’s bedside (chairside) manner went barreling downhill. He seemed to always be in a rush. If there’s 1 thing I hate more than anything, it’s being shoved out the door when I’m paying top dollar for services rendered.
I wouldn’t trust this guy with my dog’s teeth (if I had a dog).
