Yudin Igor,DDS

Dr. Yudin is skillful with his hands and well-​trained. He did a lot of work on my teeth over the years when I had excellent dental insurance. He is more interventionist than I prefer at this time, however.

A lot of folks might find Dr. Yudin a little rough on the edges, but that’s okay with me. He didn’t try to upsell me on any procedures and prices are cheap. His my dentist’s dentist, so that should tell you something. The only reason I found out about Dr. Yudin is because I had to have an emergency root canal on a Saturday and my dentist recommend me to him.

I went in for a cleaning and to have a crown put on. No problems, he was gentle and I thought all was well. However, the crown was not put on properly and caused discomfort. Instead of going back, I went to another dentist who is going to fix the poorly done job.

I have been seeing Dentist Yudin for past three years now and he is the only dentist I have trusted. He has done fillings, root canals, and all 4 wisdom teeth extraction and I have never felt pain during the procedures. He explains what he is doing and the staff is very supportive. You can tell he wants the best for the dental health of his patients. He is gentle, knows what he is doing and very honest. Glad I found a dentist like him!

Dr. Yudin is awesome! I started with his practice several years back and would never go anywhere else. His staff is patient and knowledgeable. I used to be very nervous at the dentist, but Dr. Yudin explains everything and I felt comfortable right away. He even completed a procedure another dentist couldn’t. 5 star dentist!

I think Dr. Yudin does a great job on this big-​ol-​scaredy cat. He is gentle and talked me through everything while having cleanings, fillings and a crown replaced. I needed a lot of work since I did not go to a dentist for about 2 years since the last one was… lacking in service but that’s my fault. I was very satisfied with the suggestions Dr. Yudin made as he fixed some old problem-​ed fillings (10years +) that I thought I just had to live with. I found everyone at the Oakland office to be nice, helpful, and accommodating to my needs and not at all pushy with service.
Also of note is the fact that even after all of the work I’ve had done, the pain the next day was minimal or non-​existent. I have rarely experienced this even with other very good dentists. If it’s time to go to the dentist, go see Dr. Yudin!

While I found everyone at the office *extremely* accommodating and nice, I had an experience very similar to David L. I went in for something routine, and left with the strong message that it was absolutely urgent for me to have very expensive re-​do work and the same mouth guard for grinding. Was it really necessary?
This didn’t feel right to me, so I went to have a second opinion (we’re talking serious out-​of-​pocket here, even with insurance). The other dentist, who had lots of positive reviews on Unilocal,was very good, and just didn’t see any urgent need for such work. So, I cannot say that Yudin is bad, or was wrong — read this review carefully. I’m just saying that he seems to treat aggressively, more so than most dentists, and more than other dentists would recommend.

I didn’t enjoy any part of my experience at this dentist office.
I had to wait a half hour while in the chair which I can forgive, traffic sometimes sucks.
However, then I was told on first appt without x rays that I had two new cavities, two old cavities that need to be replaced, and that I need a mouth guard to stop grinding my teeth. I felt like I was being sold things I didn’t need. Went back to my old dentist, had one cavity done and felt like he actually cared about my dental health, not just making more money.
Also, the hygienist barely cleaned my teeth. She forgot to do the top section and when I reminded her, insisted that she did.
Crappy service and the focus on taking advantage of patients means this is a place to avoid. Confusing as I saw a positive review of him on some dental site.
