Carol Jin, DDS

I know we all don’t like going to the dentist. But I have to say I like going there. The staff is friendly and professional they really know what they are doing. You feel at ease when you sit in that chair knowing your going to get great dental service.

Total Health Dental Care staff is very knowledgable and friendly. Dr. Jin listens to her patients and give her professional opinion to help you make the right decision on your Dental treatment. Dr. Jin your Character and your Professionalism is very outstanding. Keep up the work.

Dr. Jin always goes out of her way to accommodate my kids. She is professional and patient with my kids and makes them feel comfortable even when having their cavities filled. Her office is immaculate with state of art technology and friendly staff. A life long client for sure!

As a child growing up, my parents couldn’t afford preventative dental care for me so I’ve always had issues with my teeth. Flash forward 20 years and I have chronic gum disease. I would have to get deep cleanings at least once a year and each time it would be such a horrible experience that I became very anxious every time I had a dental appointment.
Thank goodness I found Dr. Jin over 6 years ago. She is still amazing. My teeth cleanings are NOT painful anymore and she was able to determine a treatment plan for my teeth that did not require deep cleanings. I haven’t had to have any deep cleanings for over 5 years! 5 years! That is so much money saved. And I love her approach on preventative care. She warns me when I am showing signs of cavities or other issues and teaches me ways to prevent it.
Her office is soothing, modern, and they always make me feel at ease. No more anxiety, no more pain.
Thank you Dr. Jin and team!

We just had our first check up with Dr Jin for my 8 year old. Such a professional office with excellent staff. Dr Jin is so thorough and attentive. So happy to have her as my daughter’s new dentist. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a new dentist.

Dr. Jin has been our family dentist now for many years so I am glad she finally has a page on Unilocal so I can share my experiences with everyone. I had an appointment on Monday for a cleaning and checkup and upon arriving right at my appointment time, I immediately taken to the dentist chair to start my appointment. Christy, who has been doing a great job cleaning my teeth now for several years, got me situated and Dr. Jin came in, examined my teeth and recommended that I replace two of my really old fillings (they must have been over 10+ years old) that had started to crack. She then scheduled me to come in again on Thursday to replace the fillings. Now with the examination completed, Christy started cleaning my teeth. Dr. Jin uses the latest in technology and they use ultrasonic teeth cleaning technology which I find faster, more efficient and a lot less painful than the «old-​school» methods my previous dentist had used to clean my teeth. If your teeth cleaning appointment involves a lot of scraping, rinsing and spitting mouthfuls of blood into a spittoon, your dentist is old-​school. In fact, Dr. Jin does not even have a spittoon that many of us associate with a dentist chair. After the ultrasonic portion of the cleaning was completed, Christy then lightly scraped my teeth, polished them and I was good to go.
I returned Thursday to have my two fillings replaced and again I was seen right at my scheduled time. Dr. Jin replaced my two fillings with the help of Myrene, her assistant. The procedure was painless and took less time than I had expected. I had allotted 1.5 to 2 hrs for my appointment but was pleasantly surprised to be in an out of the office in less than 50 minutes.
If you value your time and want your appointments to start on time and have procedures done efficiently, painlessly and with a high level of professionalism, then I would highly recommend you pay Dr. Jin a visit.

I love coming to Dr Carol Jin’s office the staff is always nice and welcoming. I would highly recommend anyone to come her.

I really appreciate being a Dr Jin’s patient. She is a pleasure to talk to and also perhaps the fastest dentist I have even had– so efficient !

Dr. Carol Jin has been providing dental services to my family since 2012. Now I feel qualified to post my thoughts on her team here. In short, she and her team provide excellent dental services. Just like good IT consulting on back-​ends, it is hard to measure the quality of her services. But I know it is there since none of my family ever need to go back for additional or re-​treatment on same dental issues. And here is an example how she has gained my confidence and trust. d
When my kid had a jaw problem, Dr. Jin referred her to a UCSF specialist. Furthermore, she also recommended a local orthodontist who provided an excellent assessment in retrospect. She was very helpful to resolve this issue for my kid. I will always be grateful to her about it.
It is really hard to find a good dentist but I was lucky to find her thru Unilocal.
Yes, all the wonderful reviews posted here about her and her team are true.

I been coming here for probably a little over 2 years and have always had a great experience. Dr. Jin is really thorough and does a great job making you feel comfortable in the dental chair. They have more modern equipment and a very clean office, it doesn’t even feel like a dental office.
The staff here is also very personable and have been very honest with me in regards to pricing.
Even the past few weeks I’ve kinda looked around just to see what the other dentists in the area have to offer and I think this practice is the best. Oh yeah … I always leave with a bag of goodies!

I discovered Dr. Jin through a mailer than I got and boy am I glad I decided to take action and go there. The service is wonderful, From Laurie at the reception to the various dental assistants and then Dr. Jin who is kind and courteous.
I had some work done recently there and they were nice enough to follow up the very next day to see how things were going.
Love this place and highly recommend it.

I love Dr. Jin! Our friends referred us to her, and we haven’t looked back since. It helps that she is also located so close to our house.
On my previous check-​up visits, the hygienists have been very good, and Dr. Jin’s exam is quick and efficient. Today I had to get an old cracked filling re-​done, and I am amazed that I was in and out of the office in half an hour. This included a 5 minute wait in the lobby. The numbing shot was also the *least* painful that I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot of fillings over the years). She also has great «bedside manner».
The office also pay attention to details. My second-​to-​last cleaning was on ²⁄₁₄ of this year, and I walked out of the office with a pot of flowers for Valentine’s Day. I also receive emails with promotions for dental work, so keep an eye out for her emails and don’t delete them.
Overall, she’s as good as it gets — if you were my friend looking for a dentist, I definitely would refer you to her in a heartbeat.

We moved to San Ramon from Fremont last year. My husband started going to this office since it’s only 2 blocks away from his office and he saw some good reviews from Unilocal.The office is clean and the service is friendly. But I was disappointed with their knowledge. My 2 years old daughter’s 2 front teeth changed color to brownish yellow for some reason. We went to see Dr. Jin. She looked at her teeth for a minute and told us there was nothing she could do because the color is inside the teeth. She told us not to worry cos all the kids are going to lose the front teeth in a few years and grow out the new teeth around age of 6. But my daughter is only 2 years old, that means she has to smile with the yellow teeth for another 4 years. I felt sad and disappointed after we came out from the office. But I didn’t give up. I started searching online for solutions. I found a solution! I brushed her teeth with adult tooth paste for only 3 days, the color of her front teeth were much brighter, I tried for a week, the yellowish brown color was almost gone. I went to see my old dentist in Fremont, my old dentist told me that the surface of baby’s teeth is not as smooth as the adults, that’s why it’s easy to store the dirt. She polished her front teeth for a little bit, her teeth went back to WHITE. A month later my insurance statement showed there was a $ 380 charge from Dr. Jin’s office for that 5 min visit. My Fremont dentist didn’t even charge us for polishing my daughter’s teeth. I decided to go back to my Fremont dentist even I need to drive for 30 minutes to get there.

Dr Jin is a PPO office. They are all very nice here with a very welcoming office and yes it’s nice they have coffee/​tea/​water for you. They are there to make you comfortable. Very professioal manner in dealing with you and willing to work with you on appt times. They have forms online which is helpful. This was my first time and I only did a teeth cleaning. They did a great job. I asked for some advice on care which they werre great in giving. My daughter went to them first. I noticed that they were very attentive to her. With myself as well, they were good to ask if I was comfortable with the procedure or with the equipment they were to use. I recommend them.
6÷3÷13 Update-​had 2 cracked fillings. Dr. Jin did a great job. She was very kind in procedure with her RDA. Sure the injections hurt, but she did a good job. She was very communicative on where she was at. She explained what she was doing. You feel like she does care and that’s nice given its not easy going to the dentist.
And yes, there is a refrig with water or Pellegrino and there’s a coffee pod machine too. Very friendly.

I’m here sippin Pellegrino, watching trees swayin’ in the wind, leaves are falling, the sky is blue– and am ready to fall asleep from the serene view and comfy chair — WHOOPS, reality check — I am at D. r Jin’s office, a newbie, first timer!
I’ve been looking around for a good dentist — keeping my fingers crossed — and YES — she’s the one. Dr. Jin is THAT GOOD, like all the previous Unilocalers before me (I bow to you and am joining your club)… Dr. Jin has the magic touch, very friendly and office staff is superb…
Got to confess, I always dread going to the dentist, but am glad I did, and even made follow up appointments. Let me tell you… it did not hurt one bit!
Thinking of having your teeth cleaned? Need a check up?
Go see Dr. Jin!

Dr. Jin is by far the best dentist I have ever had… Personable, very thorough and attentive, and everyone in her office is extremely friendly. In every other dentist office I’ve been to, the hygienist does most of the work and the dentist just shows up at the end to review the x-​rays and do a final check — but not here! Dr. Jin comes in first, checks everything out, and does the majority of the cleaning herself. She takes the time to explain everything, and highlights all the potential issues she is keeping an eye on. The office is spa-​like and very clean and utilizes high tech equipment. The ultrasonic cleaning is painless and effective, so very little scraping is necessary. She is covered under my insurance, so cost is not a concern for me. Highly recommended!

What can I say. I have been going to Dr. J for 5 years now. Excellent service. Great location. I mean there is not anything negative I can post. Every visit has been great. I am quite glad to have her as my dentist.

The dental assistant seemed to be in a tearing hurry and made mistakes. She even entered my email wrong. Normally when somebody is getting a client’s email for the first time, they are extra careful, because in the online world we are in, this is crucial. Not for this dental assistant. The «bite» X rays were also done in a tearing hurry. Normally they ask you whether the bite is proper, especially for the X rays for the posterior areas of the mouth. She did not do anything of these. Went about the X ray thing like a robot. While I don’t expect a dental assistant to exhibit the courtesy of a receptionist, I don’t expect him/​her to be a robot either.
Regarding Dr Carol, I would like to provide my opinion after my ‘consultation’ appointment scheduled in a week from now.
I find it interesting that a lot of the reviews here refer to how ‘pleasant’ their experience was, how ‘comfortable; they felt etc etc. I can understand such a focus if it were for children. But if you are an adult, please comment on how effective the treatment was. Did it solve your issue? Was it cost effective? Please provide ‘adult like reviews. This will help me and others. Don’t say ’ I was super scared initially etc etc and how the dentist sweet talked you and made you feel ‘at home’ etc etc. Everybody WILL do this to earn your business. What matters is the stuff they deliver ultimately.

I really don’t like going to the dentist at all and tend to make excuses to avoid them for anything other than cleanings. Dr. Jin and her staff are very accomodating and understanding of people who feel this way, and they all do the best they can to make people feel comfortable when getting work done. The entire office is very nice. But most importantly, Dr. Jin does very good work. She seems to be very efficient since the work doesn’t take very long yet is still done very well.
Dr. Jin has cleaned my teeth 3 or 4 times and has filled 3 cavities and has done a great job all around. So not only are they all nice to this big baby, but Dr. Jin and my hygienist do great work too. Don’t believe me? Just check out my smile :-)

Good Dentist but expensive!
If you want cookies, high tech, and chatter, she is good. If your looking for a deal, keep shopping.
Everything is maxed out cost wise and I got charged for procedures that had always been covered by other dentists in the past. Ultimately they let me slide, but every time was a battle.
If you have super premium insurance and don’t care then she’s good, but if you have some co-​pays, get ready to spend!
PS — forget about a discount!
