About My Dentist San Francisco

My Dentist San Francisco is a dental practice on Sutter Street in the Union Square 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.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

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. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

Commonly inhaled sedation, oral sedatives taken beforehand, and intravenous sedation for more involved cases. They differ in depth and in how long the effects last, so what is offered depends on the treatment and the practice.
Will I be unconscious under dental sedation?
Usually not. Most dental sedation leaves you conscious but deeply relaxed, often with little memory of the procedure afterward. General anaesthesia, where you are fully unconscious, is reserved for specific circumstances.
Is it normal for teeth to be sensitive to cold?
Mild, brief sensitivity is common and often relates to exposed root surfaces or worn enamel. Sensitivity that lingers after the cold is removed is more significant and worth having examined, as it can indicate the nerve is involved.

I inquired about getting some cosmetic dental work done and My Dentist San Francisco called me back right away. During my initial consultation, I instantly liked Dr. Shirvani. She was friendly, listened to my concerns, gave me her honest feedback and recommended what she would have done if she were me. Dr. Shirvani checked my insurance coverage for all the recommended treatments and didnt try to upsell me on other services. The staff were also friendly and made me feel welcome. I look forward to starting the journey to having a more confident smile at My Dentist San Francisco.

In addition to my previous posts. I’m again reiterating how I love both Dr. Shirvani and Dr. Maria Rodriguez and staff at My Dentist in San Francisco. I had to reschedule my orthodontist appointment and they were able to fit me into their busy schedule. The team are always happy to help. I am extremely pleased with the progress being made with the Invisalign treatment. I should be done in a couple of months and I can confidently rely on Dr. Shivani’s and Dr. Rodriguez’s expertise. I again highly recommend Dr. Shirvani and Dr.Rodriguez for your dental needs, expertise and game plan for a healthy and amazing smile. Thank you so very much!

Dr. Shirvani and her wonderful staff took great care of me once again just recently when I had some emergency issues . She got back to me right away even though it was her day off. She allowed me to come in at my convenience and did a thorough examination, found the problem and sent me to a wonderful endodontist. Also aware of my starving artist pocketbook, she didn't even charge me . Wow thats service to make anyone smile 😁.

For 26 years, I have been looking for a trustworthy, caring dentist, and I am so excited to say I have finally found the one! Dr. Shirvani absolutely blew me away with her work. She is incredibly precise, attentive, and takes the time to make sure you are completely comfortable. I was so incredibly pleased with her work and only wish I had found her earlier in life. Her attention to detail and genuine patient care are unmatched. If you are looking for a dentist who truly operates with excellence and integrity, look no further. I cannot recommend her enough!

I’ve had a really positive experience at Doc Shirvani’s office. The staff is always welcoming, professional, and makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. They take the time to explain everything clearly and genuinely cares about patients’ comfort and long-term dental health. Appointments are organized, the office is clean, and I never feel rushed during visits. I appreciate the honesty and kindness they show every time. Definitely a place I would recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and friendly dentist.

Visiting Dr. Leyli Shirvani’s dental clinic was truly a wonderful experience. After seeing several other orthodontists, I chose this clinic and was treated by Dr. Maria Fernanda Rodriguez—an orthodontic specialist who is both highly skilled and a genuinely kind person. My smile has been completely transformed; my teeth are now beautifully aligned. She understood exactly how to correct my teeth, and the results exceeded my expectations. Dr. Maria Fernanda Rodriguez did an outstanding job!

This is an excellent dental practice. Dr. Shirvani is thorough and efficient and also takes the time to listen to one's dental concerns. The dental hygienists are very good and office staff are helpful and actually answer phone/emails. Recently had a orthodontic consult with Dr. Rodriguez and highly recommend.
