Cosmetic dentistry in northern east Bay
Hey everyone!
Does anyone have a dentist they love in Berkeley or Albany area who has done good crowns and fillings work for them? Bonus if they are good with kids and can be a family dentist, but I’m really looking for me!
The dentistry recommendations here tend to focus more on Oakland and Pleasanton recommendations, or else are really dated and recommend folks who have retired.

I really like our dentist, Dr Wolfgang Boeck in Berkeley. He is honest and very skilled — I’ve had several crowns, including an implant crown, done by him. My daughter started going to him when she was 10 or so.
I have loved my care with Dr. Lawson @ Family & Cosmetic Natural Dentistry. I especially love her more holistic approach. On Solano in Albany.
This is a little further out then you are looking for but I highly recommend the Dental Center of Hercules. Their dentist Lovely is so good and gentle and she also works on kids! We live in El Cerrito and travel out there just to see her. We have been going to Lovely for probably 12 years now and have had our fair share of procedures, including cosmetic, and everything has turned out great with little to no pain.
Highly Recommend Barry Kami DDS - https://www.barrykamidds.com/. I was driving up to Walnut Creek where we had lived a decade ago but was referred to Dr. Kami 12 mo ago. He fixed a very tricky cavity on the front of a visible tooth, and just did a custom crown. Both were completely pain-free and done beautifully. They actually have cutting-edge tech in-house for scanning + x-ray, and can make crowns onsite in 90 min. I will flag that they require 100% payment upfront, and then submit to your insurance who will cut you a check for the covered portion. They submit very quickly and it's never taken me more than 30 days to get my check from dental insurance for their portion, so it aligns to paying credit card bills but want to be transparent about this as know not everyone can front the expense. If you can, you won't find a better dentist!
