Teeth, Gums & Beyond

"I've been going to Teeth, Gums & Beyond for the last 5 years or so. Dr. Gandingco and her staff are always very friendly. Services have been great and I highly recommend this practice. Thanks for the good experience."

"My tech, I believe her name was Ellain, had the most soothing voice and calming demeanor! She really turns the experience of going to the dentist into something far less intimidating. I’ve never had more friendly experience!"

"We live in Stockton but go to Daly City for our dentist appointments!! Very family friendly and the people here are so nice! They make you feel like family for sure! We al fee comfortable and safe when we're here! We love it!"

"I love how they were the only office I was able to get an appointment with immediately. I haven't been to the dentist for quite some time but I having a toothache. They were able to squeeze me in immediately. Dr. Gandingco is super friendly. She listened to my concerns and giggled to my jokes. She gave me a referral to an endodontist for a Root Canal and then back to her for the crown. Because I have other underlying medical issues, she took those into consideration and contacted my specialist to see if what she was about to prescribe for the pain and infection was a medication I can take. She worked with me all the way through and she walked me through the steps of what will happen and explained to me the procedures I will undergo. I think I found my permanent dentist."

"I tend to have a huge amount of anxiety when visiting dentists; I’ve had a few bad experiences and it always feels like walking into the principal’s office: you end up chastised, shamed, and generally just feeling like you’ve done something terribly wrong. (Mostly from not flossing enough.) My experience at Teeth, Gums, & Beyond was so much better than it had any right to be. I called at 9am on a Wednesday, having cracked one of my front teeth late the prior night. They were able to get me in for a 1:00p appointment on the same day. Once I arrived, the dental assistant was very pleasant, took the X-ray and chatted a bit. She didn’t hound me about flossing or anything, but when she went to get the dentist, I braced myself for the onslaught of ways I wasn’t taking care of my teeth. To my surprise, Dr. Gandingco also did not hound me about dental care. She listened to what was going on, told me my options along with her recommendation, and eventually suggested that I try flossing at a lower frequency to get used to it first. I didn’t feel like a child being scolded, which was a nice surprise. In regards to the work itself, my tooth looks great and unless you’re looking closely and know what you’re looking for, you’d have no idea that anything was done to it. Dr. Gandingco also was careful with the anesthetic, so I didn’t feel any pain from it. I’m actually excited to go back for regular services now. TL;DR: Great work, great people, and I don’t fear going to the dentist anymore."
