Meet Dr. Tan, Your New Family Dentist

Dr. Tan is a California native and grew up in Sacramento before moving to Boston for dental school at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. She’s happy to have returned to her home state and to offer expert dental care for patients of all ages at Friendly Family Dental. By owning and operating her own practice, Dr. Tan can turn her vision of ideal dental care into a reality.

What is that vision? An office where people of all ages, with all kinds of dental health issues, and from all walks of life can get individualized, comfortable, and judgment-free care. As an independent dentist, Dr. Tan’s goal isn’t meeting corporate metrics or maximizing profits. Instead, her top priority is always to protect your oral health and keep you smiling brightly with a personalized treatment plan that fits into your lifestyle and your budget. Visit us today, and see how we can keep you smiling brightly in San Diego!

Comfy Care For Kids & Adults Of All Ages

Comfort comes first at our office. Everyone comes into Friendly Family Dental with different past dental experiences. Whether you love your regular checkups, hate the dentist, or are somewhere in between, we understand! Dr. Tan and our team will always take the time to listen to you, learn about your concerns and past experiences, and take steps to ensure that you feel as comfortable as possible at our office.

That goes for your kids, too! As a family dentist, Dr. Tan serves patients of all ages, from toddlers to teens. And with our fun, informative, educational approach to dentistry, we set children up with the knowledge they need to maintain a great oral hygiene routine and keep their smiles healthy for years to come.

Comprehensive Care For Every Smile

From simple cleanings and orthodontic care to fillings and crowns, we offer a wide variety of dental services at Friendly Family Dental. Our primary areas of focus include:

  • Preventive dentistry – Six-month checkups and cleanings are absolutely essential for your oral health, no matter your age. We also offer deep cleanings for gum disease, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants, too. And with her focus on patient education, Dr. Tan can help you prevent common oral health issues like cavities and gingivitis.
  • Invisalign – Braces aren’t your only option for straightening your teeth. If you’re self-conscious because of gaps in your smile or crooked teeth, Invisalign from Friendly Family Dental may be right for you. Compared to braces, Invisalign is more comfortable and convenient. And best of all, your aligners are nearly 100% invisible when worn. Wondering if you qualify? Schedule an orthodontic consultation with Dr. Tan today.
  • Restorative treatment – Even with a healthy lifestyle and good oral hygiene, you may still get a cavity, chip a tooth while eating, or even lose a tooth due to an accident. We’ve got you covered! Dr. Tan offers a full suite of restorative dentistry services including fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, and more. With treatment from Friendly Family Dental, you can restore your smile, your oral health, and your self-confidence, too.
