Dragon did a fantastic job fixing my front teeth after an accident. I went from being the whistling kid in the Christmas song to lookng like nothing had happened - 100% can't tell the difference. They were pleasant and wonderful throughout.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Joyce and the entire team at Dragon Dental in Oakland. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re greeted by one of the most polite, professional, and accommodating healthcare teams I’ve ever encountered. Everyone genuinely goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable and at ease, and Dr. Joyce is exceptional, kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. It’s clear that patient care is their highest priority. If you’re looking for a dental practice where you’ll be treated with compassion, respect, and outstanding care, I highly recommend Dragon Dental.

The best dental experience I’ve had in my life. As a black woman, it’s nerve wracking navigating healthcare because I’m not sure if I will always be treated with kindness, respect, and care. These lovely dentist did just that and more. A patient for life.
