East Bay Periodontics and Implant Dentistry in Oakland

I’ve been a patient for thirty years. Ive received excellent care from Dr Santiago and the dental hygienists. Dental health is a crucial part of my quality of life.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Santiago‘s since he opened the practice and his predecessor Dr. Kwan before that. I couldn’t be happier with the Care I receive, the patient and thorough explanations that Dr. Santiago provides and the charming and capable staff. I give my unqualified recommendation if you’re looking for a top-notch Periodontist. And my review wouldn’t be complete without singing the praises of Katrina, the fabulous hygienist who I see regularly and helps to keep my gums In great shape and as an extra bonus, she’s absolutely delightful!, PS: they have convenient offstreet parking as well.

The staff is all very friendly. The dentists are gentle and communicative. They made a stressful procedure comfortable and quick.

Ok so I appreciate these people so much! Katrina is the best hygienist in the world! Everyone is so nice and easy in this office - important when you’re dealing w stressful periodontal issues. Thank you Dr Santiago, Katrina, Delia and everyone.

Dr Santiago is the best. He will never do anything unnecessary and always explains your choices thoroughly. Katrina is so personable and cleaning is done with such care. I have been coming here for more than 25 years. This has always been the best place for periodontal care, starting with John Kwan and now Dr. Santiago. You can’t go wrong.

Love this place. I have needed a difficult implant for years and finally found a periodontist who could do it. Well worth the wait. The staff and perios are pleasant and professional. Great parking. If I could give 10 stars I would.

I saw Dr Santiago and his staff a few years ago for check-ups and maintenance of my annoyingly aggressive periodontal disease. I went back to him this week for a consultation on some potential extractions and implants, and I have to publicly thank him for how helpful and educational he was. He did not pressure me AT ALL to do one particular thing, he was so calm and level-headed, while also weighing different options with me. After a couple weeks of wondering what to do about my current dental situation, he helped me come to the best option. Thanks Dr S!

The periodontal staff is uniformly pleasant and efficient. Dr. Santiago is highly skilled and professional and helped me through various dental procedures during the past two years. The only negative was that his office is out-of-network, so I had to pay most of the fees myself.

Evan R. Santiago, DDS, together with his office management team recently provided me with extremely time-sensitive, competent, compassionate care. As a cautious health consumer, I highly recommend trusting the care that you will receive. My experience as a brand new patient went beyond what I expected, given an uncommon situation that I was facing when referred to this office for evaluation. More specifically the ongoing communication, education and options provided has positioned me to make the best possible decision for my continued treatment.

After spending so many years with inept Dentists, its no wonder I hesitate to see someone new. However, I have to say, once meeting Dr. Santiago, and his wonderful Staff, all feelings of uneasiness vanished away. By far, if ever, Ive never met someone I have felt in better hands. Accomplished, Confident and empathetic, one could not ever ask for more. Before my implant, I would go on the reviews and reading so many wonderful things about the Dr. Santiago and his staff was enough for me - putting me at ease.....Dr. Santiago, he is amazing, I am so ever grateful that i was referred to him. You really want someone in your court to help with such a major decision....this office....they are there for you.....hugs.....Thank you so much....EVERYONE!!

Due to some horrific experiences from a few dentists, I chose to see Dr. Santiago. For the last 1 1/2 months that he has offered laser surgery (He patiently used graphics, went over the procedure, and had a printed-out list of home care) or a deep cleaning procedure throughout my mouth due to a lot of plaque build-up. First, he printed out both treatment plans with the estimated costs. Next, he told me the condition of my teeth. Thereafter, I made my decision. Since my upper teeth were more severe than my bottom teeth, I chose to have laser surgery for my upper teeth and a deep cleaning for my lower teeth. The doctor was quite accommodating with my treatment request. During the 2 different procedures, he & his assistants were gentle, attentive, and made sure I was comfortable. Both times I had little pain when I got home and he checked on my progress the next day & offered further questions if I had any. By the time my treatment was complete, I was very pleased with the progress that my gums & my teeth had made. Overall, my dental treatment was the best I ever had. Thank you Dr. Santiago, and dental assistants, and office staff for making the excellent care you had given me. I appreciate everyone's efforts & patience. If anyone was wondering how Dr. Santiago was for dental care, I would highly recommend him with both hands up. ~Sissie L.
