I want to give a shout out to Bernice Roh, the hygienist there. For all my life, I've been a plaque magnet, and had so many bad feelings about going to the dentist. Bernice is caring and thorough, and she takes time to educate you on what you need to work on. I feel much more comfortable in the dentist's chair than I have for a while, thanks to Bernice. The office is great, they stay up on new equipment, and Sylvia and Raquel at the front desk are awesome. I rarely have to see Dr. Debanne, but when I do he has done good work, at a reasonable price. My mom went here and had all of her own teeth at 90.

Dr. Kim has been outstanding all-round. His staff is courteous and professional. Wait times are non-existent. He is easy to reach and understand. He has a calm and easy-going demeanor which instills a sense of confidence in me and so far all procedures (some non-standard and several cleanings) have been flawless. It's hard to find a dentist that you can rely on and trust, and I'm thankful that I have found Dr. Kim.

I have been coming here since the receptionist staff moved from Los Portales and I'm incredibly happy I did. Drs. Debanne and Kim are very very good at what they do. I wouldn't go ANYWHERE else to have my teeth cleaned or fixed. I care about my mouth. Thanks Smile Center !

AM *SO* HAPPY I FOUND THIS PLACE! Dr. Debbane and his staff are great! I came here on the recommendation of a friend after my previous dentist suspiciously said I needed a lot of work done (all of a sudden, and only 6 months after my previous checkup and cleaning). Dr. Debbane and his staff checked my teeth and informed me that I did NOT need the work done that my previous dentist said I needed. They have already saved me thousands of dollars by avoiding unnecessary work. THANK YOU, DR. DEBBANE! Also, I'd like to mention the friendly atmosphere at the Smile Center. Everyone is welcoming and attentive. The desk/check-in staff are great! The dental assistants/hygienists are super friendly, open to questions, and very attentive. They know what they are doing and they know how to make the experience pleasant. Dr. Debbane is cool. He's friendly and honest. As I mentioned earlier, he told me I did NOT need the work done that my former dentist said I needed, which confirmed my suspicions that the former dentist was intent on draining my very good insurance (and then overlapping into MY savings). Dr. Debbane and his staff will NOT do this to you.

Dr. Daniel Kim is my trusted dentist. I went to see him for a second opinion after a previous dentist who was highly rated on ZocDoc tried to scare me into unnecessary, expensive procedures. Dr. Kim provided honest information and did not try to upsell me. He is a perfectionist when it comes to teeth. He repaired a crown for me that a different prior dentist did not properly install. I appreciate that Dr. Kim communicated with me throughout the process and thoroughly checked that everything was fitting properly. He has also set me up with Invisalign, which I'm very happy with. The staff is great. When I check-in, I don't have to wait long before someone sees me. Sylvia is efficient with making my appointments and checking me in and out. Bernice is a terrific dental hygienist. She makes me feel comfortable during my dental cleanings. It feels like a therapeutic rather than tense experience. I like that she shows me exactly where vulnerable spots on my teeth are in a mirror so I can see for myself what the concerns are. I've been highly recommending SmileCenter to my friends.

Dr. Kim and his lovely staff are fantastic! I came in with a loose built-in retainer. Sylvia at the front desk was so sweet and compassionate, and was and able to quickly fit me in that day. Dr. Kim evaluated the situation, took snapshots of my mouth to show me exactly what needed to be done and explained how he was going to take care of the problem. I'm impressed by their professionalism, care, and promptness. I highly recommend coming here.

After years of pushing off getting Invisalign, I finally decided to bite the bullet. Since my primary dentist didn't offer Invisalign, I reached out to my friends for recommendations and one of them recommended Dr. Kim and his office. I won't write out every detail or give some whimsical story about my experience as if I were Yelp Elite, but what I will say about Dr. Kim is he's incredibly good at his job. He possesses a professional demeanor with great bedside manners, often times checking with me to make sure that I wasn't feeling any pain. His attitude was always upbeat and considerate. Oh, and the actual outcome of my teeth were great, too. My whole process took 13 weeks to correct my teeth, which everyone was AMAZED at how fast it happened. I am extremely happy with the outcome. The service at The Smile Center is also top notch! They're always friendly, considerate, and I actually feel like they like their job, which is hard to say about most medical office staffs that I've encountered have been quite the opposite. It made scheduling appointments, getting followup confirmations, and billing pretty seamless. After the great service I've received at this place, I've decided to make Dr. Kim my primary dentist and will convert my wife over, too.

Dentist appointments what can i say? You can hate em or love em, either way you Need em. So why not go to a place you feel at home. Thank you to this great Team! They were so kind and informative. Silvia at front reception and Dr. Kim are delightful! Called early morning with an urgent need and was quickly given an appointment. Thank you Dr.Kim for taking care of my baby. My baby tooth that is. Yes, i am a grown adult with a baby tooth molar. Dr.Kim worked carefully to fix an old broken filling. A nice gem in the heart of the mission. Totally recommend! Thank you to the team!

Dr Kim is very good at what he does - efficient and thorough. Makes going to the dentist office a pleasure. The office staff are delightful as well. This office uses only the best quality material for fillings so you know you are being taken care of with high and exacting standards Dr Kim gives you a full range of options for elective procedures and isn't pushy or a salesman like some dentists. Highly recommended!

Go see Doctor Kim! He's probably the best dentist I've seen. Extremely knowledgable and great at the job, while also providing excellent value. Most of the time I am very skeptical about dentists trying to upsell me, but with Dr Kim I felt very at ease putting my trust in him.

I've seen dr. Kim at the Smile Center for many years. I cannot recommend them enough!!! This is an oasis of astounding customer service. The front desk is great!! They are totally friendly and remember your name. They have digital x-rays you can see right away! Dr. Kim is honest and attentive, a true patient advocate, and does more than just look at your teeth briefly. The bill is always surprisingly low. This place goes above and beyond, the extra mile.

My whole family has been seeing Dr. Kim for several years. He is professional, meticulous & gentle. The day after my tooth was pulled in May, he took time to call & check up on how I'm doing. He cares!! The whole staff is so friendly & trying to make you comfortable as possible. I definitely recommend Dr. Kim!!!

Best Dentist in town! Who likes dentist visits? I personally hated it! Till I met Dr. Kim and his crew! I love the professionalism and kindness of VIP service! This is my family dentist moving forward!

The Smile Center is an excellent place to have your dental work done! My husband recommended them, so I gave them a call and they scheduled me for an appointment that same week. Sylvia and Raquel at the front desk are so welcoming and accommodating to ensure that your dental appointments go well. The staff and Dr. Kim are very courteous, and are attentive to any dental concerns you may have. Every visit/procedure is completed with care and special attention to detail. I appreciate that I'm seen on time, if not taken in a few minutes prior to my scheduled appointment! I have not been disappointed since I have had my dental work done at the Smile Center!

The Smile Center provided me with the best dental experiences in my life. I have a history of bad dental experiences and have a mouth full of less than par dental work. After my experience at The Smile Center, I am not as afraid to go see the dentist and actually look forward to my appointments. Dr. Daniel Kim and his staff are very professional and courteous. From the minute I walked into the office, I was treated like a close family member. Dr. Kim takes his time to explain all the procedures that are necessary. Sylvia and Raquel in the front are very knowledgable and thorough explaining dental insurance coverages. Dr. Kim was very gentle and I barely felt a thing during my procedure. The office is located in a great spot in the Mission district, super close to the Bart station. I would recommend The Smile Center to anyone looking to get quality dental work.

The Smile Center is definitely the best dental office I have ever been to! I can tell that Dr. Kim and the entire staff there truly care about each and every patient. I was recently referred to The Smile Center by a friend and I'm so glad I made an appointment to see Dr. Kim. During my initial visit, Dr. Kim examined and cleaned my teeth, and also did a comprehensive review of my dental history. I have very sensitive teeth, so any dental procedures usually end up being very painful to me. Dr. Kim and his assistant were very gentle during the entire process, and kept me informed on every single procedure he was performing. It was such a relief to have a much more comfortable dental cleaning! After the cleaning, Dr. Kim also took the time to explain my overall oral health, and gave me very useful tips to deal with my sensitive teeth. I can also say that Dr. Kim is a very trustworthy and honest dentist. He didn't try to upsell any unnecessary extra out-of-pocket procedures that, unfortunately, a few other dentists have suggested to me in the past. Overall, Dr. Kim is an outstanding dentist who I absolutely trust to have my family and friends see him. In fact, my wife just had her appointment with Dr. Kim and had a great experience as well!

Dr Kim was brilliant - he was always responsive to email questions and flexible with appointment times. My teeth look perfect now and all thanks to him!

I called up Dr. Kim after experiencing some pain in one of my lower back molar recently. The office was able to bring me in that same week, and was very thorough in checking whether I had the proper insurance/coverage for the services I needed. The visit was very efficient, and I got all of the work I needed done all within one visit (x-rays and temp crown). And most importantly, the pain's gone away! I've been to various dentists in the past few years, and have to say this experience was as hassle and pain-free as it gets. Dr. Kim is very caring and gentle with his patients. I'd highly recommend him to anyone with fear of the dentist!

The Smile Center is my go to for dentistry and has been for years! Let's be honest, no one gets excited about going to the dentist. And it's never fun when you realize that ache below your teeth isn't going to go away on its own. But here's the thing. I LOVE GOING TO THE SMILE CENTER. Seriously. Why? Because I know I will be well taken care of. Everyone who works here--from the person who makes your appointment, to the assistants to the Doctors--is compassionate, friendly and caring. They love what they do and it shows. You can feel it. I have had a lot of dental work done here--cavities, root canals, fillings replaced, cleanings, you name it. Just don't tell my mom. She would be so disappointed that I had to get work done at all. But her judgments aside, I can highly recommend Dr. Debbane and The Smile Center for all of your dentistry needs.

The dentist's office was always a place of terror for me. My experience here changed that viewpoint almost immediately as I entered The Smile Center. Dr. Kim treated me like family and his knowledge of dentistry was only exceeded by his accommodation to my needs and comfort. I am definitely smiling more after going to The Smile Center.
