About Franklin Dental Group

Franklin Dental Group operates on Franklin Street in the Union Street area of San Francisco, California. Implants are considered by many dentists the most durable way to replace a missing tooth, since the titanium post fuses with the jaw bone over several months and then supports a crown that functions much like a natural tooth. Enough healthy bone is the main prerequisite, and a graft can build that up first if needed.

Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.

Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, handling complex bite corrections and significant crowding more predictably than removable alternatives. Treatment commonly runs one to three years, with a retainer worn afterward to hold the result.

A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.

Cosmetic treatment is generally the least invasive branch of dentistry, built around changing how teeth look rather than fixing something broken. Whitening and bonding sit at the lighter end; veneers and reshaping involve more planning. Most cosmetic dental insurance excludes this kind of work, since it is elective rather than medically necessary.

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the space, and allows the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it.

Very sad to have to leave this dental practice but unfortunately it has gone downhill in the past couple of years. The two remaining Dentist are very kind however their best hygienist Nadine left and since then they seem to be played with non-stop scheduling issues and constant billing “mix ups”. Such a bummer as again super nice dentists, unfortunately incompetent front of house and insurance coordination staff. Can no longer recommend.

Great dentist office! Friendly staff, very thorough and knowledgeable. Very gentle with cleaning as well, and responsive to your needs. Dr Patterson takes time to explain and walk you through best treatments and options. Best dentist I’ve been to!

It is so great to have a dentist who is top of their game and local. I have know Dr. Growney since high school and my family/extended family have been going to his dentistry for over a decade. He has helpful staff, it is easy to get an appointment, he listens and he doesn’t try to “upsell”. Most of all I can’t say enough about how great it is to go to a dentist who is rooted in San Francisco and not up and leave! Five stars all around!

Kevin is the best dentist. Our family has been seeing him for years and can’t recommend his practice enough. They just remodeled their building, have multiple locations in the city, easy to get an appointment, personable staff. Kevin is excellent at his practice and the kindest and remembers all his patients and their families so well. Love the staff Nadine, Jeannine all are lovely here.

My entire family (two parents, two high schoolers) sees Dr. Patterson at Franklin Dental Group. I cannot say enough good things about the entire practice! Dr. Patterson himself is incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, and always has our best interests in mind. Routine cleanings, cavities, sensitivity, as well as recommending us to other practitioners when we have needed root canals or specialty dental devices——we have always felt like we were in excellent hands. His staff is warm, very flexible with scheduling, and really make us all feel at home. We love this place!!!
