“I arrived to Transcedentist almost phobic of the dentist and was totally transformed over the course of several visits to this practice. Immediately, you feel at ease by the calm, peaceful setting and the warm, welcoming staff. When you are seated in the chair, you're offered a blanket and socks. During procedures, you are given a neck pillow and repeatedly offered lip balm. The staff also utilizes several techniques to avoid injuring and/or straining jaw muscles, mindful of every detail to create a comfortable experience. This practice leverages the latest technology to optimize both precision in their work and comfort for the patient. It is also truly focused on holistic patient care with a personal touch. I was impressed by the thorough and absolutely painless dental cleaning on my first visit. They also used a high tech imaging tool, along with xrays, to scan my entire mouth, which gave stunning 360 degree insight into what was happening with my teeth, providing detailed images of the cavities that had developed. The process was extremely transparent, they talked me through every detail with the imagery to support their findings and recommendations for treatment, and it was obvious exactly what needed to be done to get my mouth back into shape after some pandemic lapses.As I mentioned, I was terrified of dental procedures due to past traumatic experiences. Dr. Praj worked with me to conduct the treatments I needed in stages to help me re-acclimate to the process, reduce procedure time, and make it more manageable for me. During my first visit to fill two of my four cavities, I arrived with a flare-up of chronic TMJ. Dr. Praj decided to change the treatment plan to complete the work without exacerbating the injury and utilized devices to ease the pain on my jaw. She even massaged the area after treatment, and went above and beyond by recommending an incredible specialist who helped me completely cure my lifelong TMJ! Absolute miracle. She also gave me homeopathic anxiety support that soothed me during the procedure.The entire staff is incredibly supportive, patient, and understanding and the way the work as a team instills both calm and confidence in the overall practice. They answered every question and took the time to understand what my concerns were so they could respond to them directly. For example, some of my fears were that I would get too numb and feel out of control (whereas most people are concerned about feeling pain!). Dr Praj explained how numbing works, how it's different for upper and lower jaw, and told me exactly what I would feel, for how long, and how to reduce the numbing sensation after the procedure was over. I cried in the chair prior to my first procedure, and they responded with empathy and compassion to help me work through my fears and feel supported in accessing my courage to take care of my health. Ultimately I have felt zero pain throughout all of my procedures, I never felt overly numb, and I was checked in on regularly to ensure comfort. Dr. Praj also checked in on me in the evening and offered suggestions if I was feeling any pain or discomfort.Over the course of my extended treatment plan, my dental phobias completely melted away. Dr. Praj is exquisitely meticulous and precise with literally every detail of her work. She brings a level of artistry and attention to her practice that is astounding. I ended up building a lovely relationship with Dr. Praj that is exactly the way I want to feel through any medical intervention if possible. I've never encountered a more incredible practice on every level. I'm moving out of the Bay Area, but would honestly come back just for dental visits.I see in other reviews that there were concerns about pricing and excess charges. I never experienced or witnessed anything like that and can't imagine that being possible here. I was able to thoroughly review pricing, including for the expensive Invisalign treatment I'm currently undergoing, and get clear answers on how much my insurance would cover the work. Honestly, I was “
