About SF Cosmetic Dental Group
SF Cosmetic Dental Group operates on Sansome Street in the Telegraph Hill 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.
Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.
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.

Dr. Garrison is awesome! Very thorough and efficient!
This is our twentieth year of going here. This is an update 25th year. 28 now. All good. That should say it all, particularly as our original reason for choosing SF Cosmetic Dental was a commitment to minimum pain. The staff, Cindy (our usual hygienist- although we have used others occasionally) and Dr. Roth are great, knowledgeable and very nice. No change, still great
Timely, efficient, safe and fast! Plus I love the staff!
An amazing staff. It's always a great visit. I highly recommend Cindy, my favorite hygienist!
I love the team at SF Cosmetic Dental Group. They're so warm, welcoming, and make every appointment feel seamless. Amy is my favorite hygienist. Her cleanings are so gentle and she gives tons of great advice.
I just moved to San Francisco and chose Dr Aaron based on reviews. I was not disappointed. He listened carefully and answered all my questions. I feel like I’m in good hands.
I cannot recommend Dr. Aaron Rose highly enough. After years of looking for a dentist I was happy with, I finally found the absolute best. I’ve been seeing him for a couple of years now for multiple procedures, and everything he does is handled with total excellence. What I appreciate most is how caring he is. I’m usually quite an anxious person at the dentist, but when I’m with Dr. Rose, I don't feel anxious at all. He truly cares about his patients and makes the whole experience easy. If you're looking for an amazing dentist in SF, he is the one!
Dr. Aaron Rose and his team at SFCDG are consistently stellar in every respect. I just had a temporary crown placed, and the experience was flawless from start to finish. From Gina, their excellent and always welcoming office manager, to Amy, my wonderful and thorough hygienist, to Kristin, Dr. Rose's exceptional and seamless assistant, I’ve received nothing but the very best care in the many years I’ve been going to this practice. Dr. Rose sets that tone with his gentle, calming, and meticulous manner—one that might make you forget, until you’re in the chair, just how skilled, experienced, and confident a dentist he truly is. He’s also exceptionally communicative, clearly explaining each step along the way to keep you informed and at ease. I highly recommend this team—you’re in for an outstanding, and surprisingly enjoyable, dental experience all around.
Went in for a filling this morning. Got there just in time; and had no wait time. I was ushered in; prepped; administered anesthesia, waited 10 minutes for it to kick in and the procedure took not more than 20 minutes. I was outta there; right after. The doctor explained everything, at each step of the process as we moved along. I've been going to this dentist group for a little more than ten years and have nothing but good happen there. Dr. Rose is terrific ... That's my experience as of today, Dec. 18, 2025.
