About Fong David M DDS

Fong David M DDS operates on Franklin Street in the Downtown Oakland area of Oakland, California. Implants are considered by many dentists the most durable way to replace a missing tooth, since the titanium post fuses with the jaw bone over several months and then supports a crown that functions much like a natural tooth. Enough healthy bone is the main prerequisite, and a graft can build that up first if needed.

Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.

A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.

Cosmetic dentistry covers treatment aimed primarily at appearance — whitening, veneers, bonding, and reshaping among the more common options — for patients who are less concerned with a problem that hurts than with how their smile looks day to day. The right combination depends on what specifically you would like to change.

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the space, and allows the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it.

Gum disease treatment ranges from a deeper professional cleaning for early inflammation through to more involved periodontal care once bone around the teeth has started to be affected. Bleeding gums are usually the earliest sign, and the early stage is reversible with proper cleaning and better daily plaque control.

Delivering the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted, and the excellent experience you truly deserve. Dr. Fong’s goal is to help you see just how different his practice is from other healthcare offices. It starts with genuine friendliness and respect for your time. When you call for an appointment, his staff will find a convenient time that fits your schedule, and when you arrive, they will greet you by name, find out if you have questions, and make sure you get in to see Dr. Fong promptly.

I came in for a routine teeth cleaning & was concerned that the ultrasound scaler will aggravate some teeth that are sensitive my dental hygienist was very understanding & added stuff around my jaw to lessen the sensitivity & had no issues whatsoever concerning the sensitivity issues. I had a little bit of an issue with the left lower molar that was taken care of with on contact antibiotics with instructions on aftercare for the following week. Dr Fong usually is not on staff on Fridays he looked in after the cleaning was done . This whole experience I can say was a pleasant one. BTW…the dental hygienist name is Silin; She’s a “Keeper”!

I had a great experience with Dr. Yu and the rest of the team. I didn't have a dentist in Oakland and was experiencing some pain so I needed an emergency visit. I was able to get an appointment in two days and it was a super smooth experience. Dr. Yu asked plenty of questions and made me feel very comfortable. Although they're out of network, I would consider revisiting in an emergency.

Is it weird to love a dental practice? My husband and I love Downtown Oakland! They’ve taken such good care of us not just through cleaning but invisalign, chipped teeth, etc.! And the people who work there are cheerful and relaxed. In fact, we have never been there when someone was not laughing….

I had a wonderful experience as a new patient at Oakland Downtown Dental. I was genuinely impressed by the level of care and attention throughout my visit. The cleaning was very thorough, and the exam was incredibly detailed—they even walked through gum recession on a tooth-by-tooth basis, which made me feel very informed and confident about my dental health. The entire experience felt both professional and personal. Little touches like validated parking and a handwritten note sent a few days after my appointment really stood out and made me feel cared for beyond just the visit. Highly recommend to anyone looking for thoughtful, high-quality dental care!

Huge shoutout to the team at Downtown Oakland Dental! I had a dental emergency right before the holidays when a crown came off, and they were so accommodating and fast. They offer same day crowns which was such a relief. The office is stunning and feels very welcoming. The appointment was very easy and the staff are so kind and efficient. I do not enjoy dental work but Dr Barry made the same day crown procedure fast and painless. If you’re looking for a dentist that balances high-level efficiency with real compassion, this is the place. Highly recommend! Next I will be going for a teeth cleaning and teeth whitening. Hands down one of the best dental practices I have experienced.

Huge shoutout to the team at Downtown Oakland Dental! I had a dental emergency right before the holidays when a crown came off, and they were so accommodating and fast. The office is stunning and feels very welcoming, not like a typical sterile clinic. From the front desk to the chair, the service is professional and seamless. If you’re looking for a dentist that balances high-level efficiency with real compassion, this is the place. Highly recommend! Next I will be going for a teeth cleaning and teeth whitening. Hands down one of the best dental practices I have experienced.

Dr. Fong and his staff are among the most pleasant and helpful healthcare service providers I've ever used. They also have far more technology than other dental offices with which I’m familiar, with monitor displays of just-taken x-rays so you can be shown any problems, as well as the overall condition of your teeth. I can't say I actually look forward to my dental appointments, but I do appreciate the friendliness, professionalism and competence at Downtown Oakland Dental.
