Paul B. Tan, DMD
Dr. Tan provides the highest level of comprehensive and compassionate dental care to each patient. His practice utilizes the latest in dental technology in order to deliver treatment in the most comfortable, gentle, safe, and efficient manner.
After graduating in 1989 with honors from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts, Dr. Tan completed a prestigious VA/Stanford hospital residency in Palo Alto where he served as the program’s first chief resident during the second year while treating medically compromised patients.
Dr. Tan started and built his current practice since 1992 and his office has been located in the landmark, Art Deco Shell Building @100 Bush Street in the heart of the San Francisco financial district for the past twenty three years.
In addition to the art of practicing dentistry, Dr. Tan takes great pride as a community leader serving as a former board member for the SF LGBT Center and San Francisco AIDS Foundation. He enjoys cultural events, nature hikes, gardening, and spending time with his two adorable young dogs, Rupert and Dahlia.
Nancy S., RDA
I've been working with Dr. Tan for over thirty years now and it has been a wonderful experience. My role as a registered dental assistant allows me to interact with patients on a personal level to ensure they achieve their optimal dental health. I enjoy working with the rest of the amazing team members in providing comprehensive dental care. Dr Tan and I are passionate about our work and hope to have the opportunity to see you soon!
In my free time I enjoy cooking, reading mystery novels, taking hikes and long walks in the park. I'm proud to have raised two great adult sons and grew up in San Francisco after my family came from Puerto Rico when I was young.
Grace G., Business Manager
I'm very pleased to join Dr. Tan's dental team as business manager who coordinates scheduling appointments and developing treatment plans among my primary responsibilities in helping our patients.
As a native San Franciscan, I have over fifteen years experience in the dental field and completed a degree in marketing at San Francisco State University. I'm the proud mother of two beautiful young daughters and enjoy reading and taking scenic walks in my spare time.
Janice C., RDH
I am very excited to join Dr. Tan and his team! I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon and moved to San Francisco recently in 2023. I earned a Bachelors of Science in Human Physiology from the University of Oregon and Dental Hygiene from Pacific University.
I enjoy applying my skills, knowledge, and experience in providing care to my patients. My goal as a dental hygienist is to help patients achieve and maintain optimal wellness with their periodontal health. I am passionate and dedicated to educating my patients both in and outside of the dental practice. I feel fortunate to have participated in several global outreach programs including those in Cambodia and Jamaica and look forward to doing more volunteer work.
In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my friends, trying new restaurants, traveling, and hiking. Since I'm relatively new to San Francisco and the Bay Area, feel free to give me recommendations on places to explore, eat, and hike! I look forward to meeting you soon.
