Alexander Ham, DDS & Tiffany H. Ham, DDS, MS

They are the best dentists our family has ever had. They are sweet, caring and knowledgeable. Dr. Tiffany Ham was great with my kids! Very patient and makes the kids feel comfortable. Dr. Alex Ham is also very professional and kind and knows what he is doing. I referred my parents to them also and they even love coming here. Unfortunately we had to move but my mom still insists on driving an hour for her regular check-​ups because they don’t compare to anyone else!

We thought we had a great dental office for our kids before at another practice, but after coming here for a second opinion on a procedure, we can’t imagine going anywhere else. We have a further drive now but its totally worth it. The waiting room is full of random stuff to keep the kids entertained (and have coloring pages if you ask) and staff is always cheerful and welcoming. After just a couple trips, the boys look forward to getting their sticker, balloon, and prize from the «vending» machine, which is basically a dispenser that has a random assortment of kiddie stuff.
Highly recommend… apparently many others are also recommending because we just found out today that they’re opening a second office in Walnut Creek.

The receptionist Deanne is absolutely horrible and is the reason we won’t be returning. Dr ham is great as is Donna.

Simply Amazing! Dr. Tiffany and her assistant Lauren took great care of my daughter this afternoon. My 4 year old had hard time at our general dentist and we are so glad to find her. I was loosing sleep worrying about how my kid would respond to her new dentis, but Dr. Tiffany and her team made us feel at ease from the moment we step into her office for consultation visit. Dr. Tiffany really made the procedure a breeze and a fun adventure for my kid. I was surprised how well my daughter did in the chair. My daughter enjoys her experience here and looks forward to her next visit. Thank you Dr. Tiffany, we are so grateful for all you’ve done!

My first visit with Dr. Ham was great. His dental assistant was very nice and took her time with my cleaning. He was very thorough and sociable. I was seen right away too which was a huge plus for me as past experiences have not been so great in that department at all of my other dentists.

When I was a kid, I didn’t like going to the dentist. My kids on the other hand, love going to the dentist. If I had Dr. Ham as my dentist as kid I would too. They’re great dentists and more importantly, good people. The staff there are super friendly too. If you have kids and looking for a dentist, go see Dr. Ham. The only downside is that they’ll want to come to the dentist more often.

Dr. Alex and Dr. Tiffany are fantastic! My son sees Dr. Tiffany and she has SO much patience with my son who is not the most eager patient! My whole family (me, my husband and my parents) go to see Dr. Alex. But this week I was so super impressed with them. I had to take my grandmother in for an emergency tooth extraction and Dr. Alex made sure to squeeze her in and be really patient with us. This is a GREAT family dentist office!

I would highly recommend Contra Costa Dentistry, they make it fun and it was a great experience. My three-​year-​old especially liked watching a movie on the ceiling and earning prizes. He even sat still for a full cleaning and x-​rays which I never thought was possible. All day he kept saying «Mommy, the dentist is FUN!» which to me deserves MORE than 5 stars!

A big Thank You to Dr. Tiffany and Dr. Alex Ham for creating a warm and professional practice! Every family needs this practice!
My daughter loves, loves, loves Dr. Tiffany Ham! She makes the process very smooth and keeps the child’s comfort in everything that she does. Dr. Tiffany is thorough and explains what she is doing to the child and parent. We love it here and my daughter looks forward to her cleanings!
I have seen Dr. Alex Ham as well, and he is just as amazing! Kind and professional, he fixed my front chipped tooth and did my cleaning quickly and thoroughly! I left with a much bigger smile then when I arrived!

I can’t rave enough about both Drs Ham. After moving to California, I searched out a well-​reviewed dentist. It can be so hard to find a dentist that is trustworthy and caring, but I think we’ve hit the jackpot!
Dr. Tiffany Ham is amazing, amazing, amazing! My 2 year old went in for dental work and popped up to give Dr. Tiffany a hug as soon as she came out, if that doesn’t clue you in, I don’t know what does! My 9 year old is equally happy to sit in Dr. Tiffany’s chair. She is so positive and upbeat, her personality just clicks with kids. She really takes any scariness out of a dentist visit and goes the extra mile to make sure that little ones are comfortable. From going over every single tool and what it does and her endless smiles, I just can’t say enough great things about her. I am really thankful to have found the Hams, especially since my kids have needed a bit of extra dental work.
Dr. Alexander Ham is fantastic with adults. My husband has had a lifetime of negative dental experiences and a huge aversion to dentists, so it is hard finding someone that doesn’t attempt to make him feel awful and overwhelmed. Not an issue with Dr. Ham! I’ve also found him to be extremely detailed and great at breaking down a treatment plan.
Their hygienists are also fantastic. They typically pull double duty and handle the front desk, always friendly and detailed whether they are answering phones or cleaning teeth. Its clear that the doctors really make sure their philosophy extends to the rest of their staff and they make a fantastic, positive team.
The office is just big enough, with a small waiting room and two exam rooms (one for each doctor). They have cute decorations for the holidays as well as plenty of magazines, toys, and a small table for tiny kids. The children’s exam room is fun, with kid-​friendly items tucked everywhere. Both rooms have TVs above the chair and kids can choose from several movies at any given time to watch while being seen. The parking lot is easily accessible, just make sure you go to the right office! There are several dentists in the office park. I have never run into traffic en route to the office, despite it being close to a school and across the street from a library.

Dr. Tiffany Ham is an exceptional pediatric dentist. She is very knowledgeable and great with kids. My daughter just lights up when she sees Dr. Tiffany! She has never had a cavity (fingers crossed)… but if she ever did, I’d feel completely comfortable with Dr. Tiffany doing her dental treatment.

Couldn’t ask for a better dental experience. Both Dr Hams are wonderful. They are very honest and caring people. Highly recommend choosing them for your dental needs!

Dr. Tiffany is wonderful! She is always endlessly patient and upbeat with my less-​than-​enthusiastic toddler. She is so gentle and friendly, but it is clear she is passionate about good dental care in children. The staff is always incredibly friendly and helpful as well! We really enjoy our appointments and would recommend to anyone looking for a pediatric dentist!

Great service, knowledgable & friendly doctors, easy to schedule an appointment. My son and I are happy to have found this family practice where we can both be seen.

I would give them ten stars if I could. From my initial call to schedule an appointment all the way through the cleaning, they were top notch. My three year old was a bit hesitant going in, but they were so kind and fun, he forgot he was nervous and had a great time.

Dr Tiffany and Dr Ham are wonderful! Personable and very clear in their instructions. I felt in great hands and am happy that I found this great office!

Our first visit and I’m really impressed! Its a little pricey but not outrageous. After all dental care is pricey, but the staff is realy friendly and informative. My daughter and I felt very comfortable. They asked if I wanted to go in the exam area with her which was really nice, but being 8 years old my daughter decided against it. They talked to her and I about the usual stuff: brushing and flossing techniques, eating habits, and what to do in a tooth emergency. Definitely coming back

My 3-​year old had her check-​up with Dr. Tiffany yesterday, so, of course, she woke up this morning and asked if she could go to the dentist again today.
What? This doesn’t happen with your children? Ha! I never would have imagined it either.
As someone who had extremely negative experiences with dentists as a child, it was essential to me that my daughter get started with the best possible experiences so that great lifelong habits might be formed. Drs. Ham have created the perfect environment for fostering this experience with their Concord practice.
Dr. Tiffany Ham will patiently walk your child through every piece of the equipment so that they might not be startled by each part of the cleaning routine. She gives you tips so that you can continue to reinforce that familiarity at home. («Get an electric toothbrush and get her used to it a few weeks before her next appointment, so the noise of the cleaning equipment in her mouth isn’t scary and new.» — Worked like a charm!)
The approach is kind, fun-​loving, and holistic, and, if all else fails, they have tvs on the ceiling for watching videos during the appointment. Teeth-​cleaning + watching Frozen = my daughter’s dream scenario!
Thanks, Drs. Ham!

OMG, my 3 kids first time here. I was looking for a dentist before and before today I’ve always just looked for a dentist who didn’t scare my kids. Lol anyway, I found dr. Ham on Unilocal and decided to give them a try. THEY LOVE IT! All three of them! Especially my youngest (5) which was very important because he has always been weary of dentists. It’s been all day and he’s still talking about his awesome time. He wants to know when he can go back! No lie! Lol dr ham is superrr friendly and the kids get to watch a movie has they get their teeth shined up! They even get stickers and a special token for a prize! So happy to have found a great family dentist =]

I usually don’t Unilocal about doctors and dentists, but since good medical professionals are hard to find these days, I feel like I should share this with the Unilocal community.
I was referred to Dr. Ham by a close relative of mine. Initially, I was hesitant to leave my old dentist since he was very good, but since Dr. Ham came highly recommended and his office is close to where I live and is open on Saturday, I decided to make the switch. I went to Dr. Ham’s office for a cleaning last Saturday. The procedure went extremely well. I did not experience any discomfort or pain the whole time. Dr. Ham was very patient and clearly explained every step to me. I felt very comfortable with him.
The greatest feature of Dr. Ham’s office is that there is a flat screen TV mounted on the ceiling, right above the dental chair. I have never seen that in any other medical office.
After the cleaning, I got a chance to talk to Dr. Ham. I found out he is an Air Force major and is a big supporter of Blue Star Moms. As a law enforcement officer and a public servant, that is a big plus in my book.
Dr. Ham’s wife, a pediatric dentist, also works in the same office. Before my procedure, I was watching her interacting with one of her patients (a little girl). I was really impressed by her demeanor. She did a great job putting the little girl at ease. The little girl was smiling and giggling. I don’t think there are too many kids in the world that would smile and giggle in a dentist/doctor’s office.
If you are looking for a new dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Ham and his team. I am really glad I made the switch.
