About Ho David T DDS, Inc.

David T. Ho, DDS practices at 1500 Bush Street in San Francisco's Cathedral Hill neighbourhood — a location near the Van Ness Avenue and Bush Street intersection, accessible from the Civic Center, Pacific Heights, Japantown, and Lower Pacific Heights communities. Cathedral Hill sits at the geographic centre of San Francisco, making this Bush Street address reachable from across the city's residential neighbourhoods without requiring cross-city transit.

Apicoectomy is listed as a specific service — the microsurgical removal of the root tip and infected periapical tissue in cases where conventional root canal retreatment cannot resolve persistent apical pathology. Apicoectomy requires surgical access through the gingiva to the bone surrounding the root apex, a surgical skill set that most general dentists refer to an endodontic specialist. Combined with root canal treatment, endodontics, bone grafting, maxillofacial surgery, gum grafting, periodontal surgery, and oral pathology in the service list, this Cathedral Hill practice carries a clinical scope substantially beyond standard general dentistry.

Oral pathology — the clinical assessment of abnormal oral tissue — sits between mucosal screening and biopsy referral in the diagnostic workflow. A practice actively listing oral pathology as a service monitors lesions, manages recurrent aphthous ulcers and benign mucosal conditions, and initiates biopsy of suspicious findings. Combined with the periodontal surgical scope, this reflects a practice whose clinical approach encompasses systematic oral health surveillance beyond the teeth and gingival margins.

Full mouth rehabilitation, bruxism treatment, and TMJ/TMD management address the functional occlusal pathology common in long-term patients. Gum grafting and periodontal surgery cover the full range of tissue management and restoration. Maxillofacial surgery, wisdom tooth removal, and orthodontics including Invisalign round out the scope.

For Cathedral Hill, Pacific Heights, Japantown, and Civic Center patients on the Bush and Van Ness corridor who want a general practice with apicoectomy, maxillofacial surgery, gum grafting, oral pathology, and full mouth rehabilitation in the geographic centre of San Francisco, the 1500 Bush Street address provides that clinical depth.

I have trauma from the dentist as a small child and did not go for many many years, which added shame to the existing fear. I was recommended this place by a dear friend, so I worked up the courage to go. Dr.Hung and the entire team, from hygienists to the front desk staff, are kind, incredibly helpful, and supportive. They make something I was terrified of, much easier to manage. They have fidgets and will put on whatever Netflix show you want to watch. Dr.Hung is very thorough, gentle and will talk you through every step of the process to ease your mind. She is supportive, encouraging and always gives patients options regarding their next steps of care. I am grateful to have found a safe place to get dental work!

Everyone here is so friendly and helpful! I’m thankful their approach is to take the best care of their patients and offer suggestions that may help without trying to push unnecessary treatments. Dr. Hung is so kind and professional!

We were visiting SF and my son got hit on his front tooth and was in pain. I called all ER and dentist offices near our hotel and no one had the dental xray and opened during the Fourth of July weekend. I called this place and Dr. Hung picked up the call and heard my situation and she told me to come in asap. We came in and got an xray and treated right away. She’s the best doctor and so compassionate and helpful. God bless your practice and family.

I’m sorry to see Dr. Ho go but thrilled that Dr. Hung will be his successor. She's professional and genuinely loves her work. She really cares about her patients and wants to build long term relationships. Overall would highly recommend her to my friends and family. I'm freshly postpartum and she even gave me advice for my baby's gum care and teething tips! Bonus that she speaks fluent Cantonese and we can exchange food recs!

I really enjoy my visits at Dr David Ho’s clinic. Everyone is super friendly, nice, and compassionate. Mai always does my cleanings and she is incredibly gentle, kind, and soft spoken. She isn’t judgmental, takes her time, and makes me feel well cared for. Dr. Hung also did two of my cavity fillings and was very sweet and kind. She cares about her patient’s well being and comfort level and took extra care to make sure that my fillings were polished and fit into my mouth comfortably. Really enjoyed my experience with this dentist so far and will keep coming back.

Very kind people, but I never had cavities before coming here and then during the two years I went here they found and filled many cavities. I have now moved to a new dentist who has not seen any cavities for over a year. I feel they were overdiagnosing and filling these prematurely which is unfortunate.

The service from Dr. Ho is amazing. I came in for a regular cleaning as a first time patient, and right off the bat I was surprised by Dr. Ho's professional and thoughtful explanations as he analyzed my teeth. He goes a long way to make sure you're comfortable, mindfully pointing out regions of X-Ray images before beginning and asking if you're having any issues during the procedure. The entire time, I felt I was in good hands and could trust Dr. Ho with my teeth!

Dr Ho has been my dentist for about 14 years. He is simply the best - kind and gentle and puts everyone at ease. He explains the treatment in great detail. I recently visited his practice for a cleaning and Mai is superb - attention to detail was outstanding - my teeth have never felt so clean.

I've been coming to Dr. Ho's dental office for the past 4 years. I have nothing but positive experience. All the staff are professional, courteous and accommodating. I have sensitive teeth and am always nervous about how dental staff would treat my teeth. His staff take good care of my dental cleaning, and I am never in any pain or uncomfortable situations. Dr. Ho is extremely knowledgeable and answers all your questions in a manner you can understand. His team is on top of things. This is a reflection of his commitment to providing high quality care for all his patients.
