After trying out several other dentists in the Berkeley area, we found Dr. Benson. My husband and I have both been very pleased with him and his staff. He explains things very well, and really motivates you to take care of your teeth. He also did a couple of fillings for me that seem great. His staff is also very nice. Appointments need to booked way ahead (especially for cleanings), but once you are there, you don't have to wait around. Highly recommended in all ways.
