Alan T Poon, DDS

Fair, gentle, and not pushy about getting expensive work done. Highly recommended. Book way ahead of time he’s popular.

He charged me for something and then was really nice about it and said since he said it was free he’d remove the charge
Sometimes a 20−30min wait
But great ambiance good guy very kind
Once did a filling for me and stayed late because he knew I’d be outta town
Being a good person isn’t for nothing I appreciate it doc!

Dr. Alan Poon is simply the best. He’s taken up the task of repairing several of my teeth that another unskilled dentist severely messed up. This has required Dr. Poon’s expertise and that of other specialists he’s referred me to. We have made significant progress together. Also, he is very kind, patient, and compassionate.

Dr. Poon is a top notch dentist! As a patient, he catered to all my concerns and answered all questions that I had. All my appointments have been right on the clock, and I’ve never had to wait. Facilities and equipment are all very up to date, and assistants are very helpful as well. Dr Poon is highly recommended!

Dr. Poon is really knowledgeable and professional when it comes to crooked, grimy, yellow teeth. Can’t tell you if he knows anything about healthy teeth in my experience, but he probably does.

Very, very helpful! My mum, visiting (no local insurance) was in a lot of pain. Dr. Poon’s office got us scheduled last minute, on a saturday. Gave us a very reasonable estimate, checked her, took xrays, gave her meds for temporary relief and recommended a root canal. They don’t do complex procedures so we had to go to an orthodontist. My mum really appreciated Dr. Poon’s kind and patient mannerisms and his advice.

Alan Poon is great. I had broke my front teeth for about the 5^th time and they scheduled my appointment as soon as possible. My appointment was 30 minutes to closing, but he did not rush my teeth or reschedule another appointment. He stayed for about an hour after closing to make sure my teeth were properly fixed. It’s been about 3 weeks since my teeth have been fixed, and I have no experienced any issues with it. Out of the 5 repairs for my front teeth, this bond repair for my teeth was by far the best.

Dr. Poon was great during my first visit. He was very gentle during my general cleaning and answered every question I had. I’ve had bad luck with dentists in the past and was a little nervous before my dental appointment. He and his assistant are friendly and great at what they do.
I will be going back in a month to get my mouth guard and a tooth filling. Not nervous at all this time! :)

I’ll start this by saying I’ve had some very bad luck with dentists in the past. After one that botched my front teeth badly, I had found a biological dentist who I liked, but who retired last year. From there I was highly apprehensive about finding a new dentist. But I looked on Unilocal and on Zocdoc and a few other places and Dr. Poon was highly recommended. So I made an appointment for a cleaning just to scope it all out. I can’t tell you how relieved I was to find that not only is Dr Poon a terrific dentist but he’s also someone I would look forward to going to see. That is tall praise given my history. He is extremely thorough, and it’s actually fascinating to learn what he teaches you when going through your exam. Really nice guy. Really good dentist. Very nice, clean, and modern office. Friendly staff. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Poon was kind enough to clear up the billing issue. Staff mix-​up aside, what I remember from the visit is that he teaches dental hygiene techniques clearly, and he notices non-​verbal stress indicators during cleanings.

Just got done with my appointment and I gotta say I’m very impressed and pleased! I got here and filled out my paper work and was immediately seen by Dr. Alan Poon. He was very professional and super friendly!
I got my X-​rays done quickly and without pain, by the hygienist. She was super sweet and friendly too.
Dr. Poon explained everything to me about my X-​rays in detail so that I completely understood everything that was going on with my teeth. Also, I have a problem with my jaw where it gets locked if its open for too long or too wide and this is the very FIRST time that any dentist actually cared and made sure that i didnt hold my mouth open too long or too wide. I can’t tell you how happy that made me because usually dentists in the past have told me that I just need to deal with it because the need my mouth to be opened wide! He made me feel so comfortable during the whole visit. He also showed me the correct ways to brush my teeth and floss just in case I didn’t know (which also has not been done with any other dentist in the past they usually just assume you know the correct way and wonder why your teeth are bad haha!).
I am so glad that I found Dr. Alan Poon as my new permanent dentist! If you’re looking for someone that is caring, gentle but thorough, and detail oriented this is your guy! :)

I needed to schedule an emergency visit (major tooth pain and used Unilocal to find a well reviewed Dentist and ZocDoc to schedule a visit with Dr. Alan Poon.
The office is new, the check-​in process is smooth, and the equipment, including the Digital x-​ray made this dental office visit excellent. Dr. Poon clearly described his diagnoses and the three options that were available to resolve the issue. He laid out the pros/​cons of each approach and made sure that I understood the path of least resistance.
Dr. Poon was able to abate the pain, and referred me to an Oral Surgeon to have it fully dealt with. Following my visit to the Oral Surgeon, Dr. Poon called that evening to see how I was doing and if everything went smoothly and if I needed anything. That’s customer service. Will continue to bring my family to his practice.

Dr Alan Poon is the best dentist I have ever had. Since we moved to the US a couple of years ago, me my wife and my son have been visiting him, for the cleaning, and I have got a lot of cavities done from him. He is really meticulous, and a perfectionist.
I would highly recommend him.

I’ve been a patient of Alan’s father for many years, and was nervous when I found out I’d be transitioned to his son. both Alan and his father have that rare combination of gentleness and thoroughness that is so valuable in a dentist. I cannot recommend them enough.

I’ve been a patient of Alan’s father for 25 years. When he told me that he was transitioning his son into the business, I was a little nervous. I’ve known Dr. Poon since I was 5 years old and it’s scary to let go of that type of relationship.
However, Alan has his father’s gentleness and outgoing personality, so the transition was easy. Alan also has the benefit of having a completely remodeled office with state of the art equipment. His assistant took digital X-​Rays and Alan went over each tooth with me on a big monitor that was within easy viewing from the dentist chair.
He explains things well and strives to educate you so that you’re motivated to be preventative at home.
One of the best things that Alan learned from his father is to not do procedures that people don’t really need. In other words, he doesn’t try to artificially increase your bill the way many people do now in the medical profession.
I look forward to Alan being my dentist from here on out!

I just got finished with Dr. Alan Poon and I must say it was a surprising experience. Not that Dr. Poon was significantly different from most dentists, but it was that the small details ended up making all the difference in the world.
First of all, Dr. Poon takes the time to explain to you what is happening in very laymen terms. I found that very refreshing and in a way very effective towards prevention. He has a device that has a camera which allowed me to see my cavity on screen. This effectively freaked me out but also makes me REALLY want to do something about it.
Every step is explained so that you don’t feel at all hesitant about the process and what’s happening. I’ve always felt that the worst part of the dentist was not knowing what’s happening in your mouth as the dentist is elbow deep into your business. All you’re doing is staring at the ceiling. But with Dr. Poon I felt very engaged in the entire process leaving me less hesitant and exponentially more confident in the entire experience.
One last thing is about the office itself. I was pleasantly surprised that the office did not have that standard «dentist» aroma. Good or bad, that «dentist» smell always alerted my gag reflexes. Dr. Poon’s office has a very cozy and familiar feel to it. The office is tastefully appointed with what seems like all the new and cool dental gadgets which gives me a sense of confidence.
Again, these are minor details but for me it leaves a huge impact on the my time in the dentist chair. I wouldn’t say that going to the dentist is the bane of my existence like most people but i still don’t enjoy it very much. The surprising comfort of Dr. Poon’s office definitely helps ease that pressure of the semi-​annual check-​up. Anything that helps make a generally unfavorable experience much more bearable is a win in my book. Thanks Doc!

I had a great experience getting a cleaning at Dr. Alan Poon’s office.
Dr. Poon is very professional and has an excellent chairside manner. He explains to you everything that he does, e.g., going over your X-​rays with you on the display screen and describing polishing of your teeth (apparently dentists always do this at your cleanings, but I didn’t know it was called polishing — no one had ever told me).
I really appreciated Dr. Poon’s sensitivity to my sensitive teeth. He made sure not to apply water or air pressure to those tender spots and asked me throughout the procedure whether I was comfortable (which I was). I’m always afraid of having the cold water sprayed onto my gum line where my gums are receding — it’s one of the worst feelings in the world. So instead, Dr. Poon asked Erica, my hygienist, to spray the water into my mouth cavity and let me swish it around myself. Wonderful solution! The water was also a good temperature, not too cold.
The cleaning was very thorough. Erica prepared some mouthwash beforehand and placed it next to the chair so that I could rinse my mouth after the polishing. That was nice since the polish generally leaves a gritty feeling in your mouth.
Lastly, Dr. Poon showed me proper brushing and flossing techniques, which I somehow did not know for my whole life until now. Call me a nerd, but I’m excited to apply what I learned!
The office is newly remodeled with state-​of-​the-​art equipment. All staff members were friendly and knowledgeable. For a good time at the dentist, visit Dr. Poon!

Alan Poon is a good friend, which is why I was reluctant to use him as a dentist, but due to some embarrassing pain in my teeth, I decided to visit him during the holiday break.
Alan did a great job keeping the appointment professional and did an even better job making sure I was comfortable and aware of what was happening. He also did something no previous dentist did for me, explain to me in general terms where the pain came from and what was needed to resolve the issue. Long story short, the pain is gone, and I will definitely be taking better care of my teeth. Thanks Alan.
From a random office visit, I was very impressed with the way he handled the appointment and I will definitely be seeing/​recommending Dr. Poon again. PLus the office facilities were super nice and updated.
Dentist appointments are no fun, but it’s even worse when you don’t know whats going on. Alan made it bearable and did a great job winning over my trust. Good stuff man!

I usually go back home in Nor Cal to do a teeth cleaning during the holidays. Not sure what it is about home and clean teeth. I tried to book an appointment with Dr David Poon but he had no availability during my stay so they suggested I go with Dr Alan Poon, his son. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it went as perfect as a dentist appointment could go.
When we stepped in, Alan told us about the updates they had made to the offices, and the remodeling and new machines him and his dad had added. New machines are always good since you don’t want them sticking old bacteria infested crap in your mouth. The assistant ushered me off to take photos of my teeth with these new machines. They are pretty good about telling you the costs up front and if your insurance covers it or not and my PPO did, but just be sure to ask just in case.
Alan looked over the xrays and verified that everything was according to what my last dentist said. Then, he did the cleaning himself and was super thorough and gentle and made sure to explain everything he was seeing. I think the explanations were key for me since you never really understand what the dentists are telling their assistants and you always feel like you’re being duped. Rest easy, no crazy recommendations (true story, a doctor had once recommended $ 10k worth of treatments for me).
He makes you feel very comfortable, and provides good explanations and tells you areas you should watch out. Definitely recommended. Also. Ladies. I believe the good doctor is single.

I’ll be honest, I haven’t been to the dentist in many years. The thought of going the dentist scares me. I think the reason is because of my bad experiences in the past. So, recently I decided to ask my family and friends to refer me to a good dentist in my area. One of my friends, who I really trust, referred me to Dr Poon. I was a little hesitant to go at first, but I really needed to see a dentist (bleeding gums). So, I decided to take a chance.
Staff: My initial impression of the staff was that they were really friendly and helpful and made me feel comfortable.
Facilities: I was pleasantly surprised to see the facility was modern and clean.
Cleaning Process: Normally I experience pain during cleaning because of my sensitive gums, but Dr. Poon really paid attention to my discomfort and frequently asked whether I was doing okay. He noticeably tried to make my experience a pleasant experience.
The only reason I give a 4 star is because I still hate going to the dentist, but I definitely will go back for my next cleaning.
