“She shepherded me along every step of the way. Things were explained, there was nothing I didn’t know.”
David
“You’re a patient but you feel like you’re family. You can’t meet one person in the office and not have a great experience, it’s amazing. I am definitely going to come here until the day I die.”
Deron

Our Patients Say it Best
Is our practice right for you?
We're a good fit if you want unhurried appointments, dentists who know you and your history, and modern care such as injection-free laser fillings and same-day crowns.
Being out-of-network lets us plan care around your needs and give each visit the time it deserves. We file your insurance claims for you. Depending on your plan, either your plan reimburses you, or you pay your estimated portion and your plan pays us directly. Either way, what your plan pays depends on its deductible, annual maximum and allowed fees.
No dental insurance? Ask about our in-house membership, offered directly by our practice. If you have questions about cost, just call us.

Frequently asked questions
Start with what matters most to you. Ask how long the dentist has practiced and how they keep their training current. If you feel nervous, ask about comfort options such as injection-free laser fillings or sedation. Ask how they handle insurance and whether you'll get a written estimate before treatment. In reviews, look for comments about clear explanations and follow-up, not just friendliness. A first visit is the best test: you should leave knowing what was found, what your options are and what they cost.
Dr. Tanya (Tatyana) Manyak has cared for patients in San Mateo since 2003, and readers have voted her Best Dentist 18 times, most recently in 2026. We use the Solea laser, an advanced all-tissue laser few dental offices have, for many fillings and gum procedures without a numbing shot, and CEREC to make many crowns in a single visit. We offer a comfort menu and sedation for anxious patients, and we're a City of San Mateo certified Age-Friendly Business. Appointments are unhurried, and many patients have been with us for more than a decade.
We're an out-of-network practice, so we're not contracted with insurance plans, but if your plan includes out-of-network benefits you can use them with us. We file the claim for you. Depending on your plan, either you pay at your visit and your plan reimburses you, or you pay your estimated portion at the visit, your plan pays us directly, and you pay any remaining balance once the claim is processed. How much your plan pays depends on its deductible, annual maximum and allowed fees, and we're glad to help you check before treatment. No dental insurance? Ask about our in-house membership, offered directly by our practice. Details are on our Patient Resources page.

Yes. With CEREC, we design, make and place many crowns in a single visit of about 2½ to 3 hours, with no temporary crown and no second appointment. For some teeth a lab-made crown is the better choice, and we'll explain why.
