Vincent P Lim, DDS

Dr. Lim and his staff is one of the most professional and accommodating dental offices I have ever gone to. Very unhappy with my previous dentist, I decided to go to Dr. Lim to get some work done for a chipped tooth I had. Dr. Lim was able to see me within a couple of hours of my inquiry and I was able to happily leave his office with a temporary crown. On my following visit, Dr. Lim was patient to let me look at the color and size of my veneers before putting them on. Not satisfied, he was very accommodating and said he would send it back to the lab. On my final visit, Dr. Lim ensured I was happy with my veneers before putting them on. He took his time and made sure it was perfect! I would definitely come back again and recommend him to all my friends and family!

I’ve been to many dental offices but never have I been so comfortable like how I am here at this office. I’ve visited both of Dr. Lim’s locations, Pinole and Vallejo, and both offices are very modern and clean.
I’ve received my cleanings from almost all the hygienists and each one is very gentle, friendly and easy to talk to. The dentists are all very knowledgable and I have never felt the need to get a second opinion else where. I also have never gotten the vibe that they’re trying to sell to me treatment that is not necessary. I’ve gotten many fillings here and never felt any pain or discomfort at all.
The receptionists are very pleasant and are very accurate when it comes to out of pocket costs so that there’s no surprises later down the road regarding insurance, billing, etc. This business just deserves 5 stars from the front and back and I highly suggest anyone who is looking for a dentist to come here.
Oh and also try offer one free whitening after the first initial appointment for new patients!

Dr. Lim is the best dentist in town. I’ve been his patient for years and received the most quality dental work than I’ve ever received. I had crowns done at some other places and they didn’t even last. Everything I got done with Dr. Lim is outstanding. He knows what looks good and can give you the best recommendation and treatment plan. If you want some quality dental work– crowns, filling, implants– go do Dr. Lim! Money will be well spent.

My wisdom teeth was causing me so much pain, I finally decided to do something about it. Alyson was able to schedule me on the same day! I went in & the office is beautiful. Looks very up to date & clean! I was so nervous & had lots of questions but Dr. Lim calmed me down. He talked me through & literally checked every few minutes if I was doing okay. I had 3 wisdom teeth that needed to come out. When I thought he barely started, he said it was all done & over with! I was so shocked but glad! I did cry because I’m such a baby but all I felt was a little bit of pressure. Came all the way from Napa County & would definitely recommend him! Thank you :)

Dr. Lim’s dental clinic is the best!
The clinic is spotless clean; that was my first impression when I came in. If you’re going to work on my mouth, I want to make sure the working environment is clean. Minimal yet classy décor with soft music piped on some hidden speakers. Everything looks perfectly in place. Makes you feel at ease.
The clinic is equipped with modern high tech gadgets; from the comfortable dentist chairs, to tv monitor attached to the ceiling, to x-​ray machines, to drills, etch. You can tell that a lot of thought was put into it to make clients feel comfortable and make every thing flow smoothly. BTW, free wifi at the lobby area for checking in! LOL!
The asset of this clinic is its employees! Hands down the best customer service. Two weeks prior to my appointment, I get an email reminder of my appointment. Three days prior your appointment, you get a text reminder; you can confirm or cancel through text. The day before the appointment, if you have not yet confirmed, you get a call from them. I mean, they did their part to remind you with three different medium and if you still missed your appointment, it’s totally your fault.
When you come in, you’re always greeted with a smile. The wait is never long, at least based on my previous visits. The hygienist greets you with the most calming smile and engage you with non threatening conversation. Suddenly, she’s your bff talking about the weather, food and other mundane things. She’s very gentle and always inquiring if you’re ok! After all the drilling, flossing, brushing etch. You get a oral care bag with toothbrush, toothpaste and dental floss!
I have to give Swatee, my hygienist, a special shout out and two thumbs way up!
Once done, setting up your next appointment is a breeze.
They accept major credit cards and most dental insurance. You can also ask them to bill you in terms.
I highly recommend Dr. Vincent Lim Dental office to anyone around the east bay (Pinole, Hercules, Richmond area) looking for a good dentist. You won’t be disappointed!

I love the fact that the service I get from this place ensures me I am taken care of with excellent customer service. I’ve been having my teeth cleaned for over 10 years and never had any negative complaints about this place. The staff are very helpful and friendly.
Swati is my dental hygienist and she is wonderful. I feel at ease each time she takes care of me knowing I am in good hands. Swati has the touch and expertise and am always comfortable with her service and professionalism. I definitely would recommend her to handle your dental care!!! :-)

I’m a big fan of Dr. Lim, his office, his hygienists, employees and facilities. I have been coming for several years now, for bi-​annual cleanings and they’ve been keeping my teeth clean and healthy.
I had a filling some years back and it was quick and easy. I have had 2 Zoom whitenings over 4 years and they were awesome.
The facility is very clean and modern and everyone is very professional and caring.
if you don’t have insurance it can get pricey– but very worth it.

The best dentist in town!
I was sooo scared of needles before Dr.Lim. He has made my experience so comfortable. Bring the whole family!

I had an appt here a few weeks back and as much as I like the hygienist I don’t know why I keep coming back. I know to slot of people the front staff shouldn’t matter that much but to be honest they can make the whole experience a positive or negative one. So I walked in and the receptionist greeted me with «Hi, they will be right with you» my cleaning went Great but after I was done they presented my treatment but it felt like they didn’t even want to. The girl was like «this is your total» no explanation on my insurance or nothing. I looked at my fees and they were way off when I questioned this I was give an answer like I don’t know your fees so this is what it is. I then decided to request my X-​rays because I didn’t like her attitude and she rolled her eyes at me and said «can Send these to you later because we’re about to close» like really!?! How long can it take to send and email. Although I like my hygienist I won’t be going back just because the front staff is not friendly.

Pricey, but the service and quality care are worth it. Haven’t seen Dr. Lim yet, we were seen by a different dentist in his office. She was super friendly and actually familiar with my rare medical condition! The office being closed on Fridays which is our best day is the only other flaw for us.
We rarely have to wait for more than a few minutes if at all once we arrive.
Their web site is informative too.

If I could give 10 stars I would.
Dr. Lim is the best dentist I’ve seen out of the 15 – 20 in my lifetime.
Thanks to mindless chomping of Jordan almonds, I broke a molar. This was my first incident of major dental work and I wanted only the best dentist to do the work. I definitely shopped around and had 2 other consultations by popular SF dentists before being referred by a friend to Dr. Lim. His website alone impressed me and he lived up to my expectations in person.
Dr. Lim is kind, gentle, expert in his trade, professional, not an upseller and efficient. His office is well-​equipped with only the most advanced dental technology. He worked like a highly skilled brain surgeon for the mouth. It was more interesting to watch him work than listen to an iPod or watch something on the ceiling screen. Even his entertaining gum chewing was done with excellence. I felt nothing during the entire two hour ordeal and found the experience to be surprisingly pleasant.
The dental assistants really know their stuff. It’s clear from observing interactions and watching them work that Dr. Lim is not only an amazing dentist but a good teacher/​boss. The front desk staff are professional and very nice which is a bonus.
I’ll be going to Dr. Lim from now on. Despite the drive.
PS — The one negative review here is silly. The reviewer did not even see Dr. Lim. What doc would do work without a good assessment, a commitment from the patient and have necessary legal documents signed?

I would not recommend this dentist office to anyone.
Here are my issues why:
1. I needed to get a filling on one tooth and instead of just agreeing to check my one tooth and doing an xray on that tooth, they insisted on checking my whole mouth and a new whole set of xrays which is very costly.
2. After I got them to agree on just the single xray, they said that if I did not sign the waiver for cancelling an appointment with in 48 hours to be charged, that they couldn’t see me. So I gracefully accepted and told them I could not sign the waiver and left the office with out getting my tooth filled or fixed.
I can not sign a 48 hour cancellation contract because sometimes my work schedule changes and I have to cancel or reschedule with less time then that.
That’s all I got.

I have managed to survive 35 years without any major dental work excluding the biannual teeth cleanings. I’ve also gotten my wisdom teeth pulled but was completely sedated so don’t remember any of it. So naturally I was a little devastated when I managed to crack one of my molars. Dr. Lim assured me I would not feel a thing! I was very apprehensive because I always hear so many nightmare stories of people’s horrific dental experiences. But as the needles went into my mouth, I shut my eyes and next thing I knew, the upper portion of my mouth was numb. I did NOT feel a thing thru the ENTIRE procedure. He talked me thru everything and was very gentle! He is incredible! What provided so much anxiety for me became quite a pleasant experience actually! I would highly recommend Dr. Lim and his team ANY DAY!!! He cares about every patient and makes sure they are all okay and relaxed. He is professional, very respectful and most importantly highly skilled. Everyone who works there is friendly and nice. His office has state of the art equipment. Xrays are all digitally done at your chair. You don’t need to walk to another room just to spend 30 minutes taking Xrays. They can also make crowns right there at the office so no need for a double trip. The office is also very clean and beautiful. I was most impressed with the large and well decorated bathroom. Thank you Dr. Lim and team for doing such amazing work! My teeth and smile can’t thank you enough. I look forward to seeing you again for my next visit and encourage anyone who is looking for a dentist in the east bay to come here!
