Stephen Henry, DDS

Tres souriant, sympathique… Parle beaucoup trop et surtout abus de toute l equipe au niveau des tarifs ! 190 $ de co– pay pour un detartrage !! Plus fluor et dentifrice qui etaient en plus !! En un rdv, ce cher dentiste a explose le plafond de l assurance.

All my co workers go here and have nothing but great things to say about them so I decided to check it out.
I’m on board! Dr Henry is great… very personable, knowledgable, gentle and funny. His staff is excellent and so friendly! Kristina and Marcie are the only two I’ve dealt with directly and they are great! The team really listened to me and my gripes about another dental office and were careful not to suction my mouth to death (my peeve).
If you’re looking for a dental office that you won’t dread going to, this is the place.

I was referred to Dr. Henry by a friend 20 years ago. At the time, I worked in Foster City. I live in SF and am happy to drive to his office. I really dislike going to the dentist but Dr. Henry has always taken care of me.
If you are looking for a new dentist, I highly recommend you consider Dr. Henry.

I had to sadly change to a different dentist, but my new dentist said, «someone did some stellar work in your mouth, I can tell they spent time and care with much talent!!!»
I said yep, that was Dr. Henry!!!

Like many people, I am pretty scared of the dentist chair and make a big deal out of a minor operation about my teeth. So when my previous dentist told me I will need a filling or maybe a crown and it might not be a very easy to fix my tooth, I went ahead and searched for a 5 star dentist around.
I am so glad I found Dr Henry. He was extremely patient about answering my endless questions and telling me about my choices. And no need to mention, he did an excellent filling job on my tooth. He definitely looks like a professional who knows what he is doing and I absolutely felt like I am in good hands while I was opening my mouth wide.
Besides, although I told him my previous dentistry group which he was familiar with, he did not put in a bad word for them which tells me a lot a dentist’s personality. I have seen some dentists around the bay area who are really interested in their financial gains but not that interested in what works best for you. And I think Dr. Henry is NOT one of them.

Great dentist. Very patient and kind. I’m scared to go to dentist, Dr Henry and his staff always put me at ease. They also call you and remind you of your appointments.

So, there I was enjoying a wonderful Plumb my wife brought home from Trader Joes, and thinking of the wonderful experience provided by Dr Henry’s Office on the treatment that Donna gave me using some advanced Laser on my lower teeth which had been noticing were not as bright and white due to my Age and in spite of my Brushing with my Oral B Tooth Brush.
I had begun experiencing a Loose Tooth … as you face the mirror it is two teeth in from the front two on the left side. Well, OUT it came after the first Bite of that wonderful Plumb.
Great… another opportunity to visit Dr Henry and all the Beauties at his Office in Foster City. I called for an Appointment and contacted Bise, his wonderful pleasant assistant, who handles any Insurance Issues without a hitch. She made an appointment to correct the problem in early November as I Ok’d it as I was not experiencing any Discomfort.
I told Bise that I would have to Deal with my Wife teasing me about the GAP caused by my missing eye tooth. Bise then suggested that the Timing of the Tempestuous Tooth Failure would be something I could turn into a POSITIVE Experience by being dressed as Trailer Trash or Meth Head for Halloween.
Anyway, I have Unilocaled Dr Henry as recently as 2012, and I am Confident that Dr. Henry can Turn me from a Halloween Character to the Greg Gorgeous I am. I am looking forward to my visit as Dr. Henry makes a visit to the Dentist so Pleasant. I also get a chance to talk to him about the latest in Electronics and Metal Detection Equipment, as years ago, I located his Lost Gold Wedding Band using a White’s Metal Detector, I purchased through Golden State Metal Detectors in Foster City.
In the mean time, when I Floss the Area, I’ll have to use something the size of a Cowboy’s Rope. Must Keep Up the Flossing, no excuse, to keep Donna and Susie Happy as well as a Healthy Smile and Gums that my Wife can’t criticize or make fun of.

My tooth was cracked and Dr Henry made time to see me on the same day. He did a great job of assessing the issue and explaining the corrective action. At the end of the assessment he gave me his cell phone in case there was any issue until the next appointment. So I scheduled a follow up appointment to correct the problem by inserting a crown. Procedure was flawless and not painful at all.
Dr Henry is very knowledgeable and takes the time to make sure you are comfortable with the approach. His staff is very professional, explained all the health care benefits /​coverage, and upon arrival I was taken directly to Dr Henry. Definitely a great experience all around.

My 8 year old daughter fell off her bike and chipped both of her adult front teeth. I was very worried and my daughter was just about to start school again. We saw 2 other dentist and talked with 3 other cosmetic dentist over the next month but decided on seeing Dr. Henry because he was so detailed in his answers, very experienced, and professional.
He took his time filling the teeth, coloring, and rebuilding with compound bonding. We were done in about an hour and we left happy.
The office was nice, clean, and staff was very professional and most important, very understanding.

As soon as I even think about going to the dentist I get the nervous anxiety sweats… yet I hate bad teeth and demand that my teeth look fantastic. As you can imagine this makes me very, very picky about dentists. I can’t say enough great things about this office!
The people you see the most are the hygienists and they are fantastic. Very professional, very gentle, and have very advanced care options. The laser cleaning is probably the single best thing I’ve done for my gum health in my life. I even did this cool saliva testing thing — I love cutting edge technology like that! Most importantly my experience has been painless every time.
Dr. Henry is very professional, very thorough, and very gentle as well. There are a few areas we are watching and he checks them every time I come in and we discuss how each area is doing. He gives a prioritized treatment plan and works with you on addressing each item. I feel very well taken care of under his care. If the look of your teeth is important to you, he will make sure you’re thrilled with how you look when you smile.
5 stars all around!

Dr Henry has only been my dentist for about 6 months but I’ve been extremely impressed. I need a lot of work done, at least I thought I did, due to what other dentist/​oral surgeons have said. The first time I sat in the chair I told dr Henry I was told I need an implant. He said let’s first see. After evaluating he said let’s just monitor. You don’t need one now. The idea that he could have said yes, and then $ 2000 later was possible, but he didn’t shows he’s not about taking advantage. Dr Henry also uses Dental Lasers and yesterday he did 4 cavities in my mouth with no shot. I was amazed. I hate shots and he did the cavities and my pain was like 1.5 out of 10. He also explains everything and takes time in answering questions. He even has a laser pointer to show you things on the xrays. The staff is also really warm and engaging. The entire office is excellent. If you are looking for a dentist I would totally recommend Dr Henry.

Dr Henry and his staff are all professionals.
I’ve been going to him since 2007 and although he is not in my insurance network (which means more out of pocket money for me) he is worth it. I trust him and his expertise. He has a great personality and makes me feel comfortable. You get what you pay for when you visit Dr Henry. I highly recommend him.

After seeing the excellent reviews, I did book an appointment here though it seems like a professional setup just wanted to point out to my fellow Unilocaler’s they are exorbitantly expensive. I have comprehensive dental insurance from my company and they mentioned initially that the initial cleaning would be free which is the case everywhere. I had only one cleaning session and i was charged some $ 200+ extra out of pocket. When I called about to ask about the same, They mentioned it is laser cleaning and costs more. After the clean up I was also given a figure of 10K out of pocket to fix other issues in my teeth which did not need any root canals (They told me not to worry about the amount and to sign up for some fancy loan program). Of course hearing the amount knowing that I had insurance i got a mild heart attack, If i did not have insurance I guess i wouldn’t be writing this today :), Of course i told them I am not interested. What really annoyed me is they even made me pay out of pocket for the cleaning after telling me its free. I am sure Dr Henry is highly qualified and never got to get any dental work done with him, So my post here is just to let folks know that this will cost you. I mean a lot. After this experience i saw Dr Maria Chu at Metro dental and she did not charge anything so i saved 10K by switching my dentist.

Dr. Henry has been my dentist from 1984 and he is the best. He doesn’t upsell or do unnecessary work; he is a bargain. He is highly skilled, willing to explain everything to me, and he really gets the anesthesia right – no pain. Susan Ko is my hygenist. She is very thorough, takes her time, is cheerful and again – she answers all my questions and includes me in the decision making.

No, your eyes are not deceiving you. This dentist has five stars from all his patients. Unheard of, you say? Not if you knew Dr. H. He’s like the Inspector Gadget of dentistry. He’s smart and has a lot of cool toys that will make you comfortable while he gives you a smile worth a million bucks. Okay, so he’s a bit pricier then your average, run-​of-​the-​mill dentist, but he’s much cooler too. I wouldn’t trust this never-​ending smile to anyone but Dr. H.
TIP: His hygienists are great. They use the pain-​free laser cleaners!

AWESOME with KIDS too!
I’ve read some Unilocal with complaint regard cost/​charges for this practice– and I just have to say, to balance that out– Dr. Henry participates in «Give Kids a Smile’, providing FREE dental care.
He was kind, gentle, genuinely engaged and highly skilled with our 4 year old Special Needs son. We can’t thank him enough. Like millions of Americans, we have fallen victim to both the economy and –our greatest devastation-​inability to get insurance. Life could be different in our country– please be aware & see
.
So, although this practice is not advertised as a «Pediatric Dental Practice» Dr. Henry sure fit our needs and provides excellent care for those in need for free. We are very grateful for his gift!

Been going to Dr. Henry for 10 years now. Front office staff is very friendly and helpful. All of the hygienists are great. Dr. Henry always comes by and is sure to answer any and all questions. He is very big on preventative care (which I like) and will always explain the pros/​cons of each procedure he recommends.

you should see my pretty veneers! awesome! If you are nervous of Dentist he is the best you can get. He has a great personality and makes getting your teeth fixed as «fun» as it could be.

My family and I have been Dr. Henry’s patients for the entire time that he has had his office in Foster City. We now drive an hour each way to get to him, and it’s worth every second, and more. Kind and caring, those qualities reflect not only Dr. Henry, but his entire staff. And, he always has the latest dental gadgets that not only seem to enhance the professional services we receive, but are also way cool. Highest recommendation here.

I’ve been going to Dr. Henry for about two years now. He has always been friendly and attentive during my check-​ups. When he first found some cavities he was able to do the fillings the very next day. I wouldn’t always expect that sort of availability, but it was great to be able to take care of them so quickly.
highly recommended if you are looking for a dentist with an easy going and friendly demeanor.
