Pleasant Hill Dental

If you're looking for a hassle free place with great costumer service, this is you're place. They are fast efficient and gentle. They are patient and very honest. I honestly have nothing bad to say about this place. I will come back!

I had been putting off making a dentist appointment for a regular checkup and cleaning after what I knew was too long to wait (pandemic didn't help).I had also been wanting to find a new dental office closer to work. That is when a crown, right in the middle of my smile, popped out and left me not only looking a mess, but also with some serious dental work needed.

I called over 13 dental offices on Yelp before asking my good friend to send me the contact for her dental office. That is when I called Pleasant Hill dental and met their fabulous team who got me into the office immediately. After taking x-rays and thoroughly explaining the issue and my options for treatment, they even asked if I'd like to take advantage of a cancellation with their dental hygienist for a routine cleaning!

Everyone from Luz at the front desk who explained everything about coverage and options, to Dominick who took my x-rays, and Dr. Leong (who is the most articulate and understandable dentist about what's going on in your mouth I've ever met), as well as Ellie who did a thorough cleaning. I cannot recommend this office and team enough!

I would give no star if I could. Since the end of March, I have had a tooth infection, and Dr. Zhu had no appointment for me. The office gave me one week of antibiotics and scheduled me to see Dr. Leung (eleven days later after I experienced extreme pain). I was disappointed. I went to a different dentist who took me for an emergency appointment right away.

Since my tooth infection, nobody from Dr. Zhu's office has called or followed up on my tooth infection. Today, I called Dr. Zhu's office again to inquire about the upcoming appointments on 5/19/22 for cleaning and filling, which I had scheduled last year. The receptionist, Luz, told me that Dr. Zhu would be out of town on 5/19 due to a conference, and there is no appointment scheduled for cleaning on 5/19.

I explained that the other receptionist Brandi scheduled the appointments for me, and I had confirmed the appointments with her again in January for the 5/19/22. However, Luz told me Brandi is at training. I told Luz that I was very disappointed with how they are operating their schedule and said to her that I would look for another more reliable dentist.

Within a couple of minutes, Luz called me back at 3:59 pm and told me Dr. Zhu had an appointment at 4 pm for my filling today! I told her I could not be in her office within one minute. She said she was trying her best to accommodate me!

I had the best experience. Andrew is the new asst. he is AWESOME! Did not feel a thing! I love Dr a Zhu! Meredith

This Dental Clinic is the best. I would recommend this place 100%. Staff are really nice and hospitable. Shoutout to Luz, Dr. Cheng Zhu and all the member who helped to remove my wisdom teeth. Thank you!

Just had my wisdom teeth extracted and my overall experience was amazing! My first time ever being sedated and I was a bit nervous to be put under. The staff and Dr made me feel at ease and everything went extremely well. I would highly recommend this dentist A+

Dr. Zhu, Savannah and staff are amazing! They are compassionate, patient & friendly. They went out of their way to schedule me in for an earlier appointment to do my root canal. I am so extremely thankful that we found this dental office, I highly recommend them!

After not going to the dentist for 15 years I was scared to death of my first visit. If it wasn't for pleasant hill dental i most likely would still not being going to the dentist. After my interactions with literally EVERY GIRL in the facility I will never go to another dentist. I wish I could give ten stars for this establishment. They have changed my entire outlook on dentistry and from now on I will be taking proper care of my teeth.

These people are gentle, compassionate and made the worst experience in my life (from other dentists) vanish in its entirety. If anyone is scared to go to the dentist this is 10000% the place for you. Thank you pleasant hill dental, I am excited for my next visit and will refer every single person I know to come to this wonderful establishment. I also want to say that if I ever move out of the state or country I will l literally fly here to get any dental work done. Thank you thank you thank you! P.s. Please excuse my French ladies

I WISH I found Dr. Zhu and his team sooner. If you're petrified of the dentist like I am, Dr. Zhu is the Rockstar you want to see. Great personality during the consult then he gets to work and is definitely a master of his craft. He pulled an infected, painful back molar without me knowing! Fast/painless/zero bruising. I was a brand new patient but Stephanie & Dr. Zhu treated me like a good friend They've known for years. Thank you so much to the entire team as everyone was great.

Dental Hygienist Elle was no less than outstanding during my visit for teeth cleaning. I'm normally nervpus anytime I first sit in the dental chair, but Elle immediately put me at ease and made my visit pleasant from start to finish. She showed me before and after cleaning views of my teeth -- what a nice difference! Elle even instructed me on the proper use of an electric toothbrush, a device I never had but will use from now on given her recommendation.

I was very impressed with Elle's knowledge/expertise both technically and with client relations. Additionally, I wish to compliment the front office, specifically Luz along with Brandy in their keeping in touch with Pleasant Hill Dental's clients, and making me/them feel welcome and comfortable when we come in for the "dreaded" dental chair.

Thank you Dr Zhu and staff.amazing as always. This is the second time I had a issue that needed immediate attention in the last 10 years and the staff got me in right away. Dr Zhu was able to extract my infected tooth on the spot and I am healing up nicely. I was a bit of a wreck and in pain when I called and the staff was very compassionate and understanding.

Thanks you Luz, Kerri, Savanah, Stephine and Brandy for being so cool and reassuring me everything was going to be alright. I am usually not a baby but, Pain sucks. Welcome back Dr Zhu!

Everyone was very nice & friendly. Luz & Stephanie were both very helpful. Dr Zhu broken the tension of being at the dentist very well. would recommend to anyone who doesn't like going to the dentist. great place

I just had a broken molar yanked out of my skull, and while it was as traumatic as you can expect, I was very happy with the supreme competence of Dr. Zhu and his crew, including Savannah Richardson, in doing the deed. I highly recommend their practice.

Yesterday I was having extreme tooth pain from a busted molar. I looked up any dentist who could do an emergency last minute extraction. The number I called ended up being the after hours number and doctor Zhu himself answered the phone. From the moment we started our interaction he was tremendous and extremely helpful. They got me and appointment the very next day early morning to get me taken care of.

When I showed up Luz and Brandi were an amazing help and they both had glowing personalities as well as all the nurses and assistants in the back. There is not 1 bad soul working there. I highly recommend coming here. And especially recommend it if your like me and have extreme anxiety issues with places like this. COME HERE, all my concerns washed away while speaking with anyone here honestly. --John, happy patient

Dr Malik is the worst doctor I've ever met and an actual thief. He stole money from us and I would never recommend going to him.

Today I was in the Pleasant Hill dental office and Dr. zoo was fabulous he was actually awesome it was no pain he took care of my situation quickly is assistance were fabulous I couldn't ask for a better dentist prior visits was not the best he was pain-free praise the Lord and hallelujah I have a new dentist I only want Dr. zoo in my mouth. He is the pain-free doctor trust me he was awesome thank you Dr. zoo

Love this place! Fantastic Customer Service! Dr. Chen is efficient and I high recommend him. I felt comfortable each and every visit! Super excited to get my implants.

Most terrible experience. Let me tell you I work in Sales and I know when someone is selling and being way too pushy. This dental office is not here to help you with dental care they are here to take your money and have you continue to come back for nothing. I was told I needed filings and when I got them done I had to return and get them adjusted not once but three times.

The last appointment I had I complained about how my tooth hurt when I flossed around the tooth THEY worked on. For them to say this was a tooth they did not work on but they worked on the one next to it pissed me off. No accountability what so ever. I never had this pain until I went to there office. So of course they weren't going to help me unless I paid.

I had to option at that point to pay unless I wanted to be in pain for weeks. The dentist was so aggressive with my teeth. My experience was traumatic so much so it took me months to finally make the review. They gave me really high quotes and when I got second opinions on costs there was a huge difference in pricing. When the receptionist contacted me about scheduling a future appointment I expressed how upset I was about my experience there and she never responded or acknowledged my complaint but quick to book an appointment and take my money. These people are crooks I will never go there or recommend any of my friends, family or clients in Contra Costa and Bay Area to Pleasant Hill Dental.

I contacted this office last week due to severe pain on my lower tooth cause by a failed root canal performed at a different location. Dr. Zhu advised me get a specific treatment to subside the pain and treat the infection, so I went ahead and agreed to do so. I just received the treatment yesterday morning, and I could tell my tooth is feeling already a bit better.

I am glad I found this office, since it seems like they are very knowledgeable at what they do, and it's also close to where I live. Great doctor, great staff member. Definitely recommend them :

I just got done w my Invisalign and the experience in total could have been any better! Dr. Zhu and his team were so nice, explained everything really well throughout the months ans what to expect and always. were so complementary when I would come in! I would highly recommend their team for any wisdom teeth extractions, dental cleanings and of course Invisalign! They're the best! Thank you again! I love my new and improved yet still cute. SMILE!

I have to say Dr. Zhu is very skilled. He has a lot of experience for what he is doing. He squeezed me in for his day even he is super busy. And his staff is really courteous as well. Lala, Dr. Zhu's assistance was comforting me and helping me with my wisdom tooth's extraction. I highly recommend this place, you will get taken care by them.

Staff is always so friendly and helpful with my mom, who has Alzheimer's. They go out of their way to make sure she's doing ok during each step of her treatment. Thank you wonderful staff!

Carrie and the entire staff are awesome here! Welcoming and sweet. Don't hesitate to go here for a great, quality experience

Dr. Zhu and his staff are awesome! Very friendly folks that make sure you have a painless experience. I'd highly recommend!

Hands down the best group of dental professionals I've ever dealt with. Dr. Zhu, Luz, Lala, and Savannah made the whole process easy and as painless as possible! At one point we were all laughing and actually having a good time! I can't say enough good things!

Wow! All I can say is what a mess of an experience. First I was informed that I would only get X-rays and an exam, no cleaning. I had to make another appointment for that. Red flag one! I told he Xray tech ( who honestly did a great job ) that I needed to excuse myself for a moment. When I came back, I found the Xray tech and the "dentist" talking about my X-rays without me.

When I sat back in the chair, Dr. Marjan told me of all the dentil things I needed. I needed, according to her, eight fillings and five extractions and two crowns! I could not believe what I heard! I cancelled my next appointment and are currently looking for a new dentist. Beware of a dental office that has picture ads of smiling people, they'll come after your money hard

Best dentist place in pleasant hill! I had a regular check up and cleaning here and had An amazing experience. The dental hygienist Kerri is very friendly, kind and extremely thorough with the cleaning. She spends her time (45 mins) to do a cleaning using a combination of ultrasonic tools and hand tools as well. Will definitely be returning here again for my future cleanings! In addition the customer service is very friendly and the place is extremely clean and pleasant to be in.

Seriously my favorite dentist! Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. They always address my concerns and answer my questions. I always feel comfortable and well cared for while at this dentist.

I'm not great at reviews, but I love my dentist office. The whole staff. They always know who I am and welcome me with a smile and a nice hello. Even when I'm not there for myself. No one ever gets mad at me for not flossing, they just give me gentle reminders of why I should. I don't know quite how long I've been going there, but I've never had anything but a pleasant experience. I recommend them to everyone.

Dr. Z & staff are very thorough and educated. They know their stuff! Extremely nice staff. They really listen to their patients and work with them to plan out the best strategy to help resolve dental issues as well as prevent future exasperations of current issues. Dr. Z can also administrator locals with expert skill. I appreciated his demeanor and skill.

Great Service DR. Zhu did Excellent jobs for my implant and crown. Receptionist and Assistants very helpful and friendly He is the best dentist and professional.

Better get a 2nd Opinion or you will get taken to the cleaners for ALL YOUR MONEY I went to Dr. Marjan in the hopes to find a new dentist, and found myself searching yet again. I found the staff to be friendly, the dental/xray technician to be superb, then waited to hear from the Dentist. As a 36 year old who has had consistent dental care all their life, I was appalled to hear I would need 17 fillings, a deep cleaning, and even a CROWN.

To break this down, the overall dollar amount being $4,879.00 and my out of pocket cost would be $1,533.00. (I have GEHA dental insurance, comprehensive, and with no annual cap.) I didn't receive a cleaning from them, and honestly felt rushed to set up future appointments with them, to which I declined. I scheduled an appointment with to Dr. Philip Gruell (DDS) in Alameda for a secondary opinion, and wouldn't you know, NO CAVATIES, NO DEEP CLEANING, AND NO CROWN.

I don't know what type of practice Pleasant Hill Dental is running, but it is certainly not with the patient's health or well being in mind. This practice is looking for your money, plain and simple. Advice to keep in mind, NOTHING better or stronger than your original teeth, if you are being told you need a CROWN, a BRIDGE, or other major dental work you NEED to get a secondary opinion before opting in.

They have a great team! Dr. Zhu does great work. He's always cracking jokes, which makes me laugh and puts me at ease. Luz, Savannah and Jessica are really sweet. They make you feel comfortable and well taken care of. I'm so happy to be a patient there!

Great cautions during COVID. Attentive staff and great service. Highly recommend the clinic for all services.

Great service, the girls at the front desk are top notch. Just had a routine cleaning, Kerri did an excellent job and suggested an additional treatment for an ongoing issue that she performed. Even called me an hour and 10 minutes before the appt. to remind me to take the medication I needed before the procedure. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Definitely a great place to go.

Dr. Zhu is great and entire staff are always gentle, caring, professional & truly cares about your well being. Kerri is the BEST Hygienist ever! Dr Zhu has a great sense of humor and enjoys his staff. You're always in good hands when a patient here & they will work with you when finances are tough to juggle. Look no further, they're the best!

Elevated level of professionalism from everyone you encounter. Concern & courtesy is standard. I am so glad I found Pleasant Hill Dental.

Love the dental hygienist Kerri! She is a lovely person and does a great job.

Dr. Zhu and the rest of the staff are extremely kind and welcoming and I believe they truly care about their patients. I also want to give a shout out to Kerri, she has been cleaning my teeth for over a decade and is absolutely awesome.

Dr. Zhu extracted my husband's wisdom teeth on short notice with precision, efficiency, and professionalism. Although it was a complicated case, Dr. Zhu and his staff addressed all issues and questions in attentively and with no issues. We were really impressed and highly recommend this practice to anyone who is thinking of oral surgery and wants the best care.

I had my first visit here, and all I can say is that I've never felt so comfortable with a dentist, hygienist, and the staff. In my current situation, I did not really want to deal with the scolding or judgement or any of the other typical stressors that comes with most of my previous dental experiences, but everyone here was kind and engaging!

You could also tell how they enjoy working with one another, and it makes the atmosphere so much more enjoyable for a nervous patient! I'll likely update this as I go, but when I am particularly impressed by a business that exceeds all expectations, I do feel it should be shared with the community. If you're worried about your current dental situation, they treated all their patients with this kind of care and kindness as far as I could see! *as I am on my 3rd visit of part of an ongoing treatment that I expected to need, I am still incredibly impressed by how well they take care of everyone.

Luz is the best! Helped me with everything I needed & more. She was very informative about Care credit, something I knew nothing about. The office is very clean & modern. Their ct scanner is something I've never seen at a dental office, very quick & easy. Dr. Zui is the great, went out of his way to help me. Jessica is was also very sweet & helpful. Overall great experience

Dr. Zhu and his fabulous team truly care about the health and comfort of their patients. They spent the time to involve me and make the entire experience pleasant! Exceptional customer service! I highly recommend!

I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Zhu on a short notice for a tooth extraction, noting his many favorable reviews here. My regular dentist does not offer nitrous oxide gas as a form of sedation. In a word, I was so surprised at the quality of the services here. The staff was friendly, supportive. Dr Zhu was extremely kind, engaging and talented. The procedure was totally painless and successful. I am just so relieved! I recommend this doctor and his practice most highly.

I recommend Pleasant Hill Dental, the staff are very friendly they do a great work, Dr. Zhu is a great dentist, patient and kind. fast and painless. Dental Implants and Bone density are Dr. Zhu' s Expertise. Book your appointment today For your dental concerns consult Pleasant Hill Dental. Thanks Dr Zhu for your great job!

Pleasant Hill dental is a great place to take care of your teeth and gums and that general area. They're friendly and skillful and they don't waste your time. I'm so done with other dentists that take so long that you have to pee twice while you're there and also have to call the dog sitter and explain why you're going to be late.

Not only are they skillful and competent, but I have an aversion (and probably a disability) when it comes to dealing with billing, insurance and money in general, but they were so incredibly patient with me and walked me through everything and didn't make me feel stupid. The fact that moments later outside I tried to open the door to a truck that only looked like mine made me feel stupid but they didn't have anything to do with that.

The dentist I was going to retired, so I decided to switch it up and give this place a shot for teeth cleaning. Wow, I should have come here sooner. The equipment is way more modern and painless. I got x-rays, and the piece you bite down on is way smaller. I was used to this huge thing that hurt the roof of my mouth, so I was pleasantly surprised.

Then they use some sort of sonic teeth cleaning tool that is completely painfree (though high pitched), which allows them to be more gentle when they eventually scrape your teeth. The staff was very nice- the reception, dental hygienist, and Dr. Zhu. They all answered my questions, and best of all I felt like they were honest. I was tired of dentists constantly pushing me to get all these expensive procedures. Dr. Zhu told me his recommendations, but wasn't pushy.

Dr. Zhu is my favorite dentist ever. I inherited bad dental structure from my parents, and Dr. Zhu has been amazing at working with me to restore my smile and with it my confidence. I wasn't planning on changing dentists, but when Dr. Zhu took over this practice and assured me that he was going to take care of me and my smile I knew he was my dentist for life.

The staff here is professional, warm, and caring. Dr. Zhu is knowledgeable, fast, and funny. If you struggle with anxiety and trust in the dentist chair, this is the perfect dentist for you. He makes you feel confident and safe because he takes the time to walk you through every possible outcome. Dr. Zhu and his staff are more than my dental team, they're family!
