I am always very nervous when going to the dentist but everyone I encountered was kind and professional and very mindful of my fears. I had a very good experience and would definitely recommend the practice to anyone. And it is located only 4 blocks down the hill from my home so that’s a big plus too!

I have had some bad experiences with dentist to the point I got anxiety at times would become very nervous and did want to go. I was referred by a friend and I must say that that the office staff and Dr. Benjamin were very kind and caring. It was a good feeling. ❤️ I’m going to refer Marina Tooth Fairly to others! Thanks so much!❤️

Great folks here, never much cared for the dentist but the Tooth Fairy makes it nearly painless! If any dentist can perform eight fillings in one visit and make it feel easy and brief, that’s a five star dentist in my book.

Great first experience here! The staff listened to my concerns, explained everything to me and what I should be doing and did not try to upsell expensive add-ons that I don’t necessarily need (this happened at a different place and was so annoying)! Def recommend

I’ve come here for many years and have never had a bad experience. Everyone is so friendly and professional. I have had all my dental needs met. I recently had a procedure and was able to schedule it and have it done so quickly. I’m always impressed when I come. And the location and view of the Golden Gate Bridge is another plus!

Both the front office staff AND the back office practitioners are kind, efficient, and actually make me completely willing to come in twice a year.
