Ive been a long-term patient here and was surprised today when the dentist told me that he wouldnt treat me if I didnt get dental x-rays. WOW. I am tired of care providers dictating terms. I have teeth that are in great shape, have had only one small cavity my entire life, and dont eat processed sugar. Im at a low risk of dental decay and dont particularly feel like paying $200 for x-rays since Ive had dental insurance with minimal coverage. When I explained this to the doctor, he just told me that he wanted to mitigate his risk exposure. I told him, "why should I pay to mitigate your risk exposure for a service I dont want?" Thats the end of that. Like other reviewers have mentioned he also doesnt show up for half of the cleanings.....so maybe he should start by actually seeing patients as a means of mitigating risk exposure. The front desk staff is lovely and so are all the dental hygienists.

ABSOLUTE BEST! Referred by my numerous office mates who see Dr. Byun. First, I am total DENTIST-PHOBE! Dr. Byun and his staff put me at ease immediately. My appointment started off with a lovely x-ray technician/dental assistant (whos name Im ashamed to say I dont remember), whos bubbly personality alleviated my self-induced stress. She took my X-rays, and then paged Dr. Byun who came in for the evaluation of the x-rays and examination. Interesting aside: my dentist in Boston told me I had a broken tooth - which I thought very odd because I have no pain, or even sensitivity. Dr. Byun respectfully disagreed and gave me the all clear! He even took the time to go over the x-ray of each tooth I was concerned about. Most importantly to me, he was also VERY patient and understanding about my dentist anxiety. GREAT EXPERIENCE! Highly recommend to all, but especially for those with dental appointment anxiety!

The Rincon Dental office runs like clockwork and everyone is super-friendly and competent. They also take great advantage of technology including emails and text messsages to confirm and remind you of appointments as well as a TV that is located directly above each dental chair. I've had to have a few long appointments recently and have really appreciated the vertical TV. Most importantl, Dr Byun is thorough in both his care and the explanation of his care, and he is the only dentist I have ever gone to who has actually tried to talk me out of having additional work done. He is singularly focused on what is best for his patients and on building long term relationships even if it means less work for him today. I've sent a number of coworkers and friends his way and recommend him whenever anyone is looking for a dentist in SF.

I relocated to San Francisco in 2000 and had not seen a dentist in 2 years. Needless to say I had A LOT of dental work in my new future in this great Cit-tay. I was recommended to Dr. Steve by a friend who went to Dental School with him. Dr. Steve rocks! I used to be a huge dental chicken but Dr. Steve put me at ease and was real reasonable with his pricing. He really helped me out when I was in a freak accident and lost part of my front teeth. Dr. Steve put them back together and they look better than they did before. Ive gotten to know the ladies in the office as well over the last 10 years and they are sweet as apple pie. Dr. Steve now has TVs on the ceiling so you can watch 30 Rock while you get your teeth cleaned. Way to be so 2011 Dr.Steve!

Attentive staff and an efficient dentist is what Rincon Center is all about. Ive been going there for two years now and while its pricey at first, its worth it. Watch TV while they work on you - either on the flat screen on the wall or on the ceiling. Dr. Byun is an excellent dentist - he is very practical and doesnt force unnecessary procedures on you. Instead, he listens to how you actually feel and if theres no pain or harm being done, he lets things be. The hygienist that works on me has the same attitude - shell give things a chance to fix themselves, and sure enough, they do. Shes also very thorough with her cleaning - my teeth are squeakyk clean when shes done. All in all, this is a great dental practice.

I found Rincon Dental after having concern that my previous dentist was being less than honest about my dental prognosis. During my search to locate a new dentist I spoke with many friends and a few different dentists in the downtown area of San Francisco. Dr. Steve Byun came highly recommended and I felt comfortable with my decision after speaking with him directly- he is sincere, open, and friendly. Since my decision Ive had several visits to Rincon Dental, ranging from general checkups and cleanings, to fixing a crown from my previous dentist. Each visit has been great! Dr. Byun and his staff are very gentle, courteous, and caring. Im very pleased with Rincon Dental and recommend them on a regular basis.

Ive been seeing them for about 15 years (as has my wife) and recommend them very highly for all dental services, especially for folks who work (or live) in the Embarcadero/SOMA neighborhood. The hygienists are skilled and very reliable, and I appreciate Dr. Byuns general professionalism along with his direct and balanced approach to describing and providing dental care options (e.g., identifying but not pushing hard on minor but expensive cosmetic adjustments). My latest cleaning appointment was a great example of their superior service -- I was short on time, and they got me in and out quickly without sacrificing quality. Thanks!

This was the best dentist visit I have had in memory. I am usually very resistant to Novocain - so getting a filling usually comes with some pain - especially at the beginning. Dr. Byun listened as I explained this and told me he would take extra care. He asked be to raise my hand if I felt anything... and I never had to raise it once. Unprecedented! Dr. Byun and his staff were friendly, efficient, and very accommodating to my cowardice. My next cleaning was scheduled before I even left the chair! My mouth and I are very happy to have found Rincon Dental!

Dr. Byun and his staff were outstanding. I chipped two of my teeth in a bicycle accident the night before and they were able to get me in the very next morning and fix it right then and there. Super efficient check-in process and they explained all the details including how much it would cost to make sure I was comfortable with it all. Within a couple of hours, I had a brand new smile that looked as good as new. I would highly recommend this dental office - thanks again for my new smile!

Ive only had 3 dentist in my life, but Steven is the best. What I get from him is that he is not only very good at what he does but also explains everything to me and I get this feeling that everything is perfect after he has finished his procedures. I had front veneers from another dentist and they kept popping off and I had to pay for them to be replaced! I went to Steven, he replaced all but one of them and 3 years later they are still there and perfect. Cant think of a better dentist!
