About Blende Dental Group: Home of the House Call Dentists

Blende Dental Group: Home of the House Call Dentists provides dental care on Laurel Street in the Presidio Heights area of San Francisco, California. Sedation dentistry uses inhaled, oral, or intravenous options to help patients relax through treatment, ranging from nitrous oxide for mild anxiety through to deeper sedation for longer or more involved procedures. It is commonly used for patients who have avoided the dentist for years due to fear.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

Everyone was wonderful. We are ecstatic, evidenced by me showing up! Belinda was really something. Wonderful hands, experienced, knowledgeable. Dr. Goodman is reassuring, empathic, wonderful.

The office responded to my weekend dental issue and got me in to be treated first thing Monday morning. Problem fixed with expertise and compassion in just under an hour.

The dentist and her assistant came to my apartment and did general hygiene, check-up, and took x-rays, all while I was relaxing in my recliner. I had no idea this was possible until very recently! They were very pleasant and professional; and best of all, found my teeth are in good condition. All the equipment was contained in three large "suitcases" and one smaller kit. Very expensive, of course, but well worth it, as I have extensive arthritis and don't get around as easily as I used to.

Blende made me feel cared for at a difficult time following an accident on a scooter. I'm part way through getting all my teeth fixed, so will post with updates but so far I'm just so happy that I found them. The team is highly skilled, and very warm. I'm flying in from Austin to work with them, because they are that specialized.

I had another excellent experience at Blende Dental. I came in for my regularly scheduled cleaning and Pooja noticed an inlay on a tooth they were watching was just beginning to deteriorate (which Dr. Blende confirmed). After an extremely thorough cleaning, right afterwards Dr. Waynik was able remove the inlay and prepare and fit a temporary crown. I was grateful the work could be done in one session after the cleaning and that they caught a potential problem early (before it developed into something major). The entire staff is friendly, thorough, detail oriented and professional.

I continue to be incredibly impressed with this dental group. Yesterday, Dr. Lindsey Goodman and her team visited my mom at her facility to do two difficult extractions. My mother is in memory care, which made things much more difficult than if she had been sitting in a dental office chair. The care of these professionals showed was inspiring, they took care of extracting infected roof tips right on my mom's bed. I am eternally grateful to them!
