Meet Dr. Joan To

I will provide you with the compassion and quality that I do for my own family. There is no greater gift than when my patients hug me and tell me how grateful they are for the care they received from me.

WOW AND FANTASTIC! I have been treating with Dr. Joan To and her wonderful staff for about 10 years now. In a day and age where some dental offices have become somewhat akin to "used car salesmen" and try to upsell you, this is NOT THE CASE WITH DR. TO AND HER OFFICE. In fact, she and her staff go out of their way, communicate with you and collaboratively come up with the best dental plan for you (and your family members) and the best/most affordable financial plan for you as well. Dr. To is honest and upfront as well as tremendously caring and talented. About six months ago my oldest child needed her 4 wisdom teeth removed and unfortunately, the teeth were impacted, two quite significantly. Dr. To took the time to show me the concerns. Understanding the importance of education to me and my daughter, Dr. To was able to wait until school let out in June and the surgery took place then and went incredibly well. No problems and the healing process was quick and without complications, just as she assured me it would be. In November, I needed a root canal due to a basketball injury suffered as a child. Dr. To brought in a specialist, Dr. Vinh Nguyen and he was amazing. He was personable, well -educated (went to a prestigious dental school, had fantastic bed-side manner and put me at ease. I think he was done in less than an hour. The office was able to request a "rush" on my dental crown and it arrived in less than a week. As soon as Dr. To saw the crown and put it next to my existing teeth, she gave me the choice but her recommendation was that the shade of the tooth was off and she would order a new dental crown. I am so happy with her recommendation because if she had not pointed out to me that the first crown was not a precise match, I would not have noticed. I am so glad she made that recommendation. I thought she might charge me extra as she had to spend additional time with me for the second crown but she did not. I would be remiss if I did not mention other staff members, Jenny and Mariah at the Front Desk who are wizards with the insurance and who also either answer my dental questions themselves or if unsure, confirm with Dr. To. The hygienists and dental assistants, Jazzmine and Leilani are fantastic, so gentle but very thorough. Mia who I believe is an Intern is also wonderful. I know I am forgetting someone and my apologies, but THIS IS THE DENTAL OFFICE FOR YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN (AND YOUR PARENTS, TOO). THANK YOU DENTISTS OF SOUTH BAY! Lloyd

I found the Dentists of South Bay to be smart, technology driven and collaborative. I’m a challenging patient as I had Oral Cancer previously and suffer from some of the collateral damage. MICHAEL REAGAN

Great Experience here. I am a new patient and was able to get in within a week not months like other dental offices. I was able to get all my dental needs taken care of in one visit. Doctor and staff all so very helpful and pleasant to work with. Will definitely recommend this office to family and friends.

What is the Mouth-Body Connection® ?


The Mouth-Body Connection® refers to the link between oral health and overall health, and the role that the harmful bacteria and inflammation in our mouths play in chronic, systemic disease. That’s why it’s time we talked about more than your teeth. Our office prioritizes your overall health as it relates to your oral health. When we care for your smile we’re also looking out for your entire self.
