About The Practice SF
Based on West Portal Avenue in the West of Twin Peaks area of San Francisco, California, The Practice SF is a dental practice serving the area. Gum disease treatment ranges from a deeper professional cleaning for early inflammation through to more involved periodontal care once bone around the teeth has started to be affected. Bleeding gums are usually the earliest sign, and the early stage is reversible with proper cleaning and better daily plaque control.
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.

Professional, warm, just an overall great experience. Dr. Guglielmoni and all of her staff are wonderful.
I came here 10 years ago when I was in college. I DID need one filling (which is why I came, and they did a good job on my filling) but after looking at my teeth the dentist told me I needed to have most of my bottom front teeth drilled on and filled. Luckily my parents work in dentistry (which I did not disclose) and knew otherwise. My bottom teeth were and are still completely fine, non-decayed, healthy, white, and none have needed any fillings. I hope the dentist I saw never told other local students the same. I am leaving a late review because I recently started reflecting on how messed up that is. This can mess with someone’s dental health for the rest of their lives.
disorganized assistant and receptionist more focused on selling services vs best interest of patient
The surgeon is extremely careful and delicate when working. The rest of the staff is also skilled, pleasant, and careful. They developed a plan for me, who has not been diligent enough and has poor teeth, that keeps them looking white and feeling clean. I go in every two months and wish I would have done that long ago.
Dr. G is so caring and personal-the best implant dentist 🦷(.periodontist ). She takes her time and is such a thorough, thoughtful and procedure-focused dentist. She went over what I was going to expect and was very mindful and asked how I was doing throughout the procedure! I’ve had implants before. Dr.G is exemplar, no comparison. The best! Follow up appointments with her makes me feel that I chose the best specialist.
Dr. G has been helping to keep a problem tooth of mine going for over four years. It finally gave out and needed extraction (my first time). While it was a somewhat difficult extraction, I came out of it none the worse. There have been no complications, and everything is healing up nicely. Dr. G and her awesome assistant Allison took great care of me! I would highly recommend this practice for Periodontal, extraction, and implant work. They are lovely people who took great care of me :) Follow up 3/6/2019 Once again, Dr. G and Allison were awesome. I opted out of having an implant on the #2 molar that they extracted. They gave me all the information I needed to make a sound decision on this. This practice is wonderful! I highly recommend them.
I recently had an extensive surgical procedure performed by Dr. Conte. He was pleasant, careful, precise, and efficient. He was attentive to my comfort and my desire for information. He was family friendly, explaining the dental issues to my wife in a clear way. I am pleased with his care and would recommend him.
