Ivy Chan, DDS

Dr. Chan and Shirley are warm, competent, and wonderful. I have a beautiful smile, but my enamel is very weak and I’ve had a lot of trouble over the years… I think I’ve had fillings in each of my teeth.
I had a dental emergency last year and Dr. Chan stayed late on a Friday evening to help me! She really went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of and I have not had a single problem with the tooth since. I am forever grateful and I will be returning soon for more work.
She also did a very thorough cleaning with the super sonic tool and everything. I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Chan through Unilocal after moving from Canada where my aunt was my #1 dentist.

If you review Dr. Chan through her website, the reviews are posted here:

Dr. Ivy and her staff are very personable, and it is very easy to get an appointment with her. She is meticulous with her work and produced brilliant results upon my first visit. I would refer anyone to see Dr. Ivy if they are looking for a dentist in the Nob Hill/​Pac Heights area.

Dr. Ivy truly is an amazing dentist. I had a gap in my teeth, and she completely fixed it. She has amazing attention to detail, and is an absolute perfectionist. She’s also very sweet, and makes you feel safe at the same time.
Overall, the experience was as good as it gets going to a dentist. If you are in San Francisco, and need to get your teeth looked at, Dr. Ivy is the one I recommend you see.
She’s become my regular dentist and i’m very happy about that.

Dr. Chan is an amazing dentist. Her and her staff are wonderful! They explained all my dental benefits to me and all procedures needed to be done. One of my front teeth was chipped and Dr. Chan fixed it! She made me feel better about smile and my embarrassment about my chipped tooth. I no longer have to try and hide my front teeth when I talk or laugh. She is very thorough and professional, and friendly! Plus they keep everything in the office very clean! I recommend to her to everybody wanting an AMAZING dentist. Thank you so much Dr. Chan and your staff!

My husband and I are new patients of Dr. Ivy’s and we are both very happy with the service we received. Everyone in the office, especially Dr. Ivy is attentive and courteous. If you are looking for a new dentist in the area, I would definitely come here!

Dr. Ivy Chan is an amazing dentist! I actually started here with a different dentist but the practice was sold to Dr. Chan. She is very meticulous and it has really paid off! My teeth are great.

Really hates how she puts her tools on you. Seems like she treats patients like objects. Do not recommend!

if you are afraid of dentistry, or concerned about pain, Dr. Chan is for you. Her compassion and understanding is without compare. I would not hesitate to have any loved one be treated by Dr. Chan. She is the best!

Dr. Ivy Chan is a perfectionist.
I have had truckloads of work done on my teeth and mouth and Dr. Chan has been hands down the best of all of my dentists, dental students («past guinea pig» for UOP dental school). Her attention and hard work to the detail involved helps me to have a better fitting bite and smile!
I look at dentists as medical specialists for the teeth and mouth but also, they are required to be patient «sculpture-​ers» as they match the topography of your other teeth in order to ensure a comfortable bite.
I grind my teeth at night (Kids, college, business, etc) and I have to replace my custom mouth guards every few years. Dr. Chan has made me the BEST fitted night guard I have ever owned! Also, my teeth work is always spot on and never feels uncomfortable!
Pros: Great new office with computer Xrays, Air conditioning and a bonus is your picture on the wall!
Cons: My picture on the wall!

So I’m new to SF and there are few things that scare me more in a new city than finding a decent dentist. Especially when I know that I need work on my two front teeth.
Ivy Chan made me comfortable from the moment I walked in. Her dental office is bright and cheerful, as is she. Dr. Chan chatted with me about my teeth before taking me back for an xray and deftly re-​adhering my newly detached crown. I made an appointment to return, which I did today.
The whole procedure was painless, even though she could not use topical analgesics to numb me up before the dreaded injection. 2 hours in the chair working on my front teeth and I was out the door with a great new smile. Dr Chan is professional, an excellent dentist, and her assistants are great too!
In addition, as a student with limited resources, she worked with me to resolve my dental problems within a budget I could afford. I’ve had a lot of dental work done over the years and Dr. Chan is at the top of my list. And she’s taking new patients.
