Dr Brian Chan and his team are absolutely amazing! They are friendly, attentive, and transparent. Most importantly, they provide world class care all around. I’ve been going to Dr. Brian for the last 5 years or so, and my experience has always been pleasant. Dr. Chan and his team have my highest recommendation!

Dr. Chan and his team (dental hygienists, assistants, and office staff) have given me top-quality care with a warm and friendly environment. They have the latest in dental care technology so they are able to do things faster and better, including creating crowns for me in a single visit. I've been with Dr. Chan for over 8 years now and highly recommend him to everyone.

Our family has been going to Dr. Chan from the day he started at this location. We have always received the best care.Starting from booking our appointments and working with our schedules, to his excellent and quality work on our teeth.They answer questions and take their time with every patient. Today I had a filling done and barely knew he was giving me the shot.Dr. Chan always ask durning the procedure if you are ok and then follows up with a call in the evening to see if everything is ok. All the staff work very well together and makes a patient feel very comfortable. We know we are being well taken care of.

I'm very satisfied with all the work that was done by the team and make you very comfortable. Sometimes I almost fall a sleep during cleaning. Thank you for your great care and I'm looking forward to next visit.

Dr.Brian Chan has performed a masterpiece of planning the care for my deteriorating upper jaw. He designed a partial denture that he adapted progressively over a period of several years. The final product of this work is a partial denture that is easy to insert and comfortable to wear.

Dr. Chan and his staff are always the utmost professional and really care about our family and how we are doing. They never seem to push procedures on us that aren’t necessary and have the most up to date technology and equipment in their office. We are very happy with the service they provide.

The people are excellent. Dr. Chan explained exactly what he was planning both before and during the process. He made sure I was keeping him aware of any possible discomfort during the process. His assistant, I missed her name, sorry, was very professional and personable. They even followed up that evening to see if everything was okay. I will be going back again.

My experiences with Dr. Chan and the hygienists were fantastic. I received a cleaning/checkup and fillings in the last month, and they both were done very quickly and painlessly. They were very courteous, professional, and quick to respond to any sign of discomfort. I think Dr. Chan is a great dentist that honestly cares about his patients. He also has a cool xray machine that scans your mouth for a 3D view, which I thought was really useful, especially to see gum thicknesses around teeth. Overall, I have had nothing but excellent experiences with Dr. Chan and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist in the SD North County area.

I had the BEST dental experience of my life at Classic Dental Smiles! From the moment I walked in I felt so comfortable and Sonja greeted me as if I was an old friend. Dr. Chan is remarkable. I have never had a dentist or dental specialist who was so considerate, caring and a perfectionist. He explained each step of the procedure clearly and answered all my questions. My procedure was a little more complicated than a normal implant and Dr. Chan made sure each step ran smoothly. He was the FIRST to ever call me the night of "surgery" procedures to make sure I was OK...two times. I highly recommend Dr. Chan and his entire staff to everyone I know.

Hello, I wish to thank you and your team at Classic Dental Smiles. As I informed you, I had not been to the Dentist in 10 years. I needed a lot of attention, and you and your staff provided me with the care I needed. You worked around my schedule for my first check up and the follow up procedures were done in an efficient and timely matter. I like the new to me technology and was very impressed by the 3-D image of my teeth. I am waiting for my last three replacement fillings for teeth that I have ignored for too long. Thank you for your services. I would also like to say that your staff is very courteous and professional and you office and exam rooms make me fell welcome. Earl.

I moved to a retirement community in this area and found Dr. Brian Chan from the recommendation of some of the fellow retirees here. I have visited many dentists in my life. Dr. Chan is clearly one of the best. His office equipment is up to date and he performs excellent dental work. He explains everything carefully and easy for me to understand. He and his staff members are very friendly. I feel very comfortable in his office. I strongly recommend Dr. Chan without any reservation.

I first went to Classic Dental Smiles on 1/23/18 to have cleaning & also had a complete evaluation & X-Ray Series. I was previously given an estimate by Nelson Howard, DDS in R/B of a little over $27,000.00 to do necessary dental work. After my X-Rays & evaluation by Brian H. Chan, DDS of Classic Dental Smiles, I was given an estimate of 2,839.00 to do my dental work. At first look at my dental work to be done, Brian H. Chan, DDS said, "probably about $2,700.00 would be their cost for dental work", after I told him my quote from Nelson Howard, DDS!!! I love every thing about Classic Dental Smiles from the time I first walked into the office! The whole staff starting with Sonja Lehr (office mgr.) & every one else are very friendly, prompt, & professional. Brian H. Chan, DDS does the best dental work which I have ever experienced! Brian calls me every evening after my dental work is done just to see how I am doing! No dentist in my life time has ever done that & I aim 78 plus! Brain called me last night at 8:36! Classic Dental Smiles also has their OWN IN HOUSE DENTAL PLAN, which is fantastic, & with I will be switching to this November! I could go on & on about all the very positive things at Classic Dental Smiles, but this should be sufficient! Jim Dennis, Phone 858-382-1255

Dr. Chan and his entire staff are incredible. Every time I go in for an exam or cleaning, I am greeted by the friendly staff and never have to wait more than a couple of minutes before I'm seen. I also recently had some dental work done (veneers) and could not be happier with the results! From the initial consultation until the work was completed, Dr. Chan walked me through all the steps and provided me with all the information I needed to know exactly what was going to be done and what the end result was going to look like. Throughout the process, he listened carefully to how I wanted my teeth to look and went above and beyond to ensure that the results were perfect. The work itself was painless and not as scary as I had anticipated. This was because Dr. Chan did everything possible to ensure I was comfortable throughout the procedure (e.g., giving me a headset to that I could listen to my music and even giving me a blanket so that I could be warm and cozy). The whole thing went very smoothly and as comfortably as is possible in a dentist’s chair. I definitely recommend Dr. Chan’s office to anyone who is looking for a caring and highly professional dentist. Thank you to Dr. Chan and his entire staff!

Dr. Brian Chan not only does exceptional work but encourages his patients to discuss their concerns and options. He is a good listener and I highly recommend him. He is also backed by a very competent staff.

I went to Classic Dental Smiles because the dental technician from my old dentist moved there and she was the best I'd ever had. She told me Dr. Chan was a wonderful dentist and I soon had an opportunity to discover how right she was. Besides taking a great deal of time showing me his top-of-the-line equipment and going into detail about exactly what he was going to do, Dr. Chan did a wonderful job. I almost want to go again, and that's a first for me with dentists.

Dr. Chan has been my dental provider since he opened his practice at the end of 2011. I am a loyal patient because of the quality of care he provides and the positive experience I have with every appointment. He takes the time to get to know me and my preferences. He practices with the latest dental materials, technology, and expertise. He's honest and fair and explains in detail each treatment. I find comfort in knowing he genuinely cares about my oral health, and therefore, my overall health as a senior. His staff is very friendly and professional. His office manager, Sonja, treats patients as if they were guests in her home. Dr. Chan recently replaced a filling that I lost, at no charge. My health plan only offers DHMO plans. But, I would rather stay with Classic Dental Smiles than change dentists.

I have been seeing Dr. Chan ever since he took over the dental office from Dr. Aanerud, I think it was in 2012. He has done a phenomenal job taking care of my teeth. I have a lot of gold inlays, and he had to replace a couple. The new ones look even better than the old ones. Dr. Chan has modernized the office and is working with the latest dental technology. I just left his office from a visit that I dreaded, because I needed another inlay replaced and new that I would have to have a temporary inlay for about 2 weeks until the new gold inlay was ready. Well, using the latest up-to-date technology, he made a composite inlay right in his office and got me out of there and completely done without any pain whatsoever. The staff in his office is extremely nice and helpful. I highly recommend Dental Smiles and Dr. Chan.

Toothache! Called the office and was very professionally provided an appointment by a friendly Sonia. Dr. Chan examined my tooth and used state of the art x-ray to evaluate a fracture. My options and cost were provided before any work was performed. Jessica provided excellent chairside assisting. Dr. Chan and his staff listened to me, were friendly and provided comfort during my procedure. I now have a restored tooth with a quality crown. Thank you!

Initially I called Dr Chan's office due to an urgent matter. I spoke with Sonia who was very helpful and was able to provide me with an appointment for that morning. When I went in for my appointment, the office looked very nice and neat and the entire staff was very accommodating! Dr Chan was able to work me in to his schedule and took care of the problem that same day. He even called me at home that evening to check on me. I must say, compared to my previous dental experience, I had no soreness or after effects of the procedure. I was extremely impress with the overall experience and plan to have my entire family switch to Dr Chan for our dental care.

I've been searching high and low for a dentist who would take time to listen to my concerns, explain plan of care and treatments, break down costs, and finally met the dentist I've always prayed for. The office staff is exceptional, warm and welcoming. Highly recommend.

Dr. Chan and his team are top notch! I recently required some extra dental work and they took excellent care of me from beginning to end. Dr. Chan took his time and answered all my questions thoroughly. He offered options and advised a solution that was best for me, which turned out to be the least intrusive and most cost-effective. That showed he cared about what was right for me. He and his team then worked hard to ensure the most professional results were achieved in a careful, thoughtful, and painless manner! They listened to my concerns throughout the process, answering all my questions along the way. I had to go in for multiple visits and they fit me in each time in a timely manner. I am very happy with the entire process and the results of the work done by Dr. Chan and his team!

Dr. Chan and his staff are true professionals. They take the time to get to know patients as people. I appreciated Dr. Chan's written treatment plan for me. The office is clean, friendly and inviting, with all the latest technology to make you comfortable during dental procedures. Dr. Chan is very knowledgeable and found problems that my prior dentist didn't, which would have worsened over time if not fixed. I spent two mornings in the chair and had no discomfort despite having work done on multiple teeth. Dr. Chan is empathetic and kept me informed of what was going on. I am absolutely impressed with this wonderful dental practice.

The operation was quick and easy. The numbing was done perfectly and there was absolutely no pain. I didn't need any medication post-operation, only one Advil. I was recovered the next morning and never experienced any aching after I took the Advil. Overall the surgery was done perfectly and I have no concerns or complaints.

Dr. Chan is everything you want in a dentist: detail-oriented, genuinely concerned, personable, professional, kind, and technologically savvy. He and his assistant, Jessica, make a great team. They tend to the patient's every need, welcome questions, are fast and efficient, and work together really well. Sonja at the front desk is terrific, too. The office has a warm, friendly feeling, everyone's super nice, and the quality of the work is superb. I had major work done, and I highly recommend Classic Dental Smiles...because they certainly improved mine!

After a horrible experience I hadn't been to a dentist in over 2 1/2 years. Dr Chan has restored my feelings about dentistry. He and his staff were amazing. I was completely comfortable and zero pain. I will be telling all my family and friends. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. And i actually will be going regularly. Thank you so much.

Hands down the BEST dentist I have gone to--and I have been to MANY of the years. No more finger clinching moments in the chair waiting for the OUCH moment. I just had an old failing filling replaced and I'm HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY with the results. The whole staff is friendly and makes the once dreaded trip to the dentist actually pleasant! I recommend Dr. Chan to ANYONE looking for a caring dentist that does a GREAT job.

Dr. Chan was both friendly and helpful/knowledgeable. The service was great, start to finish and the dental work was top quality. I chipped my tooth and called Dr. Chan's office. Sofia helped schedule me within 24 hours. I had an appointment next day! She even had to rearrange a bit of scheduling to make it work, but she was able to fit me and help me out immensely. When I arrived at the office both Dr. Chan and his dental assistant Jessica were friendly and offered a very comfortable environment in which to have dental work done, which I'm sure is up there on everyone's favorite activity list. Ultimately I had a filling, which was taken care of quickly and easily. I sat down in the chair and a few minutes later I was done. The best part is, the filling looks great and you can't even tell it's there! Dr. Chan did great work for a very reasonable price. Thanks guys!

I used to dread going to the dentist. I don't anymore. Dr. Chan is a very gentle dentist who cares about his patients' comfort. He uses advances in technology to enhance his craft and keeps up-to-date on ways to provide the best service. He also has good communications skills which are so important. I know I'm in good hands with Dr. Chan.

I recently had to have some fillings done. I was so nervous about the whole procedure but the staff was quick to ease my fears. The nurse help my hand while the shot was administered in my gums. Dr. Chan was so skilled that I hardly felt a thing. Once the procedure got underway I did not feel a thing. I wore headphones to drown out the noise and before I knew it it was over. I felt absolutely no pain before, during or after the procedure. The most impressive part was that Dr. Chan even called me at home later that night to see how I was feeling. We have been searching for a dentist for so long and I know we have finally found the place for us. I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Chan and his entire staff!
