Welcome To Modern Family Dental

With the leading dentists in San Francisco and our new office in Sunnyvale (formally known as Barniv Dental). We pride ourselves on our high-quality dental work and patient focused customer service in a clean, friendly environment. Dr. Hao Tran uses only the top rated products and works closely with the top dental labs in the area. We realize that your time is important, which is why we never double book. When you walk in, your wait time will be less than 5 minutes from the time of your appointment, and you will have the doctor and staff’s undivided attention. Please do be courteous and provide at least 48 business hours notice if you must cancel or change your appointment time so that others may be seen, and to avoid a late cancellation fee.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. As cliché as that may sound, it holds true with regard to dentistry. It is the philosophy of this dental practice to take our time to educate our patients about the condition of their mouth, their treatment options, risks, benefits, alternatives, preventative measures, and limitations until they have a full understanding and no further questions. It is our duty to provide the necessary information so that our patients may play a role in making a proper decision regarding their dental care.

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT...

I’ve been going to Dr. Tran since he took over the practice from Dr. Huira – and I really thought she was a good dentist but he is even better. I’ve had a couple of crowns done from him and they are beautiful. They feel natural and match perfectly. I also really love Linda his hygienist. Can’t say enough nice things about them!

I have been looking for the right dentist for quite some time. Prior to seeing Dr. Tran, I was seeing a dentist in Oakland. The cleaning was going well until she started working on some small cavities and fillings. For 6-8 months after, some of my teeth were getting extremely sensitive to cold food and drinks. It was completely annoying. Her resolution was doing root canal. Not my cup of tea. A friend recommended me to see Dr. Tran and he fixed all my fillings. Back normal eating, no sensitivities and no root canal! I appreciate his service very much. Very knowledgeable and an educational experience. Thanks Dr Tran for you wonderful work!

Dr. Greg Polonsky

Dr. Polonsky was born in San Francisco to a family of immigrants from Ukraine and raised in the South Bay. His undergraduate education was completed at the University of California, Davis with a bachelor of science in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology along with a minor in Technology Management. There, he participated in research in molecular genetics as well as metabolomics, and received an ASBMB Certified Degree with Distinction. He then went on to earn my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry. Afterwards, he furthered his education and skills at a general practice residency at the University of California, San Francisco followed by an internship in oral and maxillofacial surgery back at UOP. At UOP, he won first place for my case report in clinical removable prosthodontics at the annual OKU-Sutro Excellence Day and published a paper at UCSF on Salivary Gland Dysfunction Secondary to Cancer Treatment where they looked at ways that cancer therapy affects patient’s oral health and what recommendations there are for the best treatment results. From working in the San Francisco community, he has learned to treat a broad range of patients, all with different oral healthcare needs. He believes that each patient requires individual care and attention and that he is there as a listener to help them achieve their ultimate goals. He is an active member of the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, and San Francisco Dental Society; always looking for ways to hone his skills and expertise with continuing education courses whenever possible. He strives to stay current with new technologies that are evolving within the dental field so that he may bring his patients the highest level of care that he can. When he is not in the office, he enjoys trying new food around the city and Bay Area, mountain biking, hiking, traveling, and discovering new music. He looks forward to meeting everyone and helping them with their dental care!
