About Dragon Dental
Dragon Dental is at 1808 Franklin Street in Downtown Oakland — on the Franklin Street corridor in the northern part of the downtown grid near the 19th Street BART station. The practice is multi-doctor, with Drs. Joyce Tse, Tiffany Tse, Aisha Saradi, Eric Cheung, and Semi Lim providing care at this address. The practice has served the San Francisco Bay Area — including Oakland, Alameda, and Piedmont patients — for over 20 years.
CAD/CAM dental restorations are listed — chairside digital crown milling that allows same-session crown fabrication from a digital scan. For the downtown Oakland professional and commuter population using the 19th Street BART station, a same-session crown eliminates the two-appointment protocol that impression-and-laboratory fabrication requires. Dental sealants are on the service list — fissure sealant application to the occlusal surfaces of first and second permanent molars is one of the most cost-effective preventive interventions in dentistry for reducing caries risk in newly erupted molars during adolescence.
Periodontics is listed as a distinct service alongside periodontal care — indicating that the practice manages active periodontal disease treatment beyond routine maintenance. Scaling and root planing, and supportive periodontal maintenance on an accelerated schedule, are within scope. In the diverse downtown Oakland patient population, managing periodontal disease in-house avoids the referral step to a periodontist that can delay treatment across multiple scheduling cycles for patients who are not comfortable navigating separate specialist relationships.
Sedation dentistry is available for anxiety management and procedure consolidation. Emergency dentistry covers acute presentations for both existing patients and new patients in the downtown corridor. Orthodontics including braces and Invisalign cover the alignment correction range for adults and adolescents. Wisdom tooth removal and cosmetic dentistry including veneers complete the clinical scope.
For Oakland, Alameda, and Piedmont patients at the Franklin Street downtown corridor who want a multi-doctor practice with 20 years of Bay Area experience, CAD/CAM restorations, and in-house periodontic management — accessible from the 19th Street BART station — Dragon Dental's 1808 Franklin Street address covers that clinical combination.
At Dragon Dental Group, Dr. Joyce Tse, Dr. Tiffany Tse, Dr. Aisha Saradi, Dr. Eric Cheung, Dr. Semi Lim, and our highly trained staff are experienced in comprehensive general, cosmetic, restorative, and implant dentistry. For more than 20 years, we have been providing exceptional dental care for the San Francisco Bay area, including Oakland, Alameda, and Piedmont. We offer the latest techniques and technology available, including veneers, whitening, CEREC® one-appointment crowns, dental implants

Recent Reviews
Had my first appointment at Dragon Dental today -- a standard exam and cleaning. It was the most thorough dental experience I've ever had. The staff was wonderful and kind. The office was clean and bright. And most importantly they made me feel comfortable, informed, and supported. They walked me through every step of what they were doing and explained what they saw. They sat with me and showed me every photo and x-ray of my teeth to explain where my dental health was and exactly what I can do to prevent future damage or decay. They took their time and made me feel deeply cared for as a patient. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone looking for a new dentist to visit Dragon Dental.
I Love Dragon Dental♥️ I have an extreme fear of the dentist. They’re so kind and mindful of that. Gentle hands, clear explanation of procedures and payment. Just the place you want to go if you’re afraid. They make ever effort to make sure you’re comfortable and cared for. I’ll never go to another dentist again..Dragon Dental is it . I thank you Dr Joyce and Nancy for renewing my faith in dentist 💕 I still stand on this. I’m grateful to have them providing my care❤️
Always a pleasure. I know I am in good hands with this team.
Excellent job
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.
Dr. Joyce and her staff are super experienced and make me feel very comfortable with any procedure. I just had a major procedure done and can really fall asleep in the chair.
I have been here for many many years, I would like to get a discount for seniors,in future works. I like de service of Dragon Dental a lot.
I love Dragon Dental. They're friendly and always explain everything thoroughly. I highly recommend Dragon Dental
