About Yerba Buena Dentistry

Yerba Buena Dentistry is at 401 Washington Street in San Francisco's Financial District — a location within the downtown commercial core, accessible from the Embarcadero waterfront, Jackson Square, and the Transamerica Pyramid corridor. The practice name references Yerba Buena, the pre-1847 village that became San Francisco — a historical acknowledgement of the city's identity. The Financial District address places the practice within walking distance of the dense professional population that populates this part of San Francisco during the workday.

Sleep apnea treatment is listed alongside full mouth rehabilitation, periodontics, prosthetics dentistry, and a comprehensive surgical and restorative scope — services that position this Financial District practice as a whole-health general dental option. For the Financial District professional population, an oral appliance therapy option for mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea managed within the general dental relationship provides accessible non-CPAP management. Oral appliance therapy can be initiated at a routine dental appointment without a separate sleep medicine referral, making it a practical first intervention for Financial District professionals who are diagnosed OSA patients tolerating CPAP poorly.

Periodontics at this Washington Street address — advanced periodontal disease management beyond the scaling and root planing available in general practice — is available in-house rather than requiring a specialist referral. For patients whose gum disease has progressed to the point requiring surgical periodontal management, keeping that treatment within the established general dental relationship avoids the disruption of coordinating multiple provider relationships across San Francisco.

Full mouth rehabilitation and prosthetics dentistry serve the complex restorative cases that accumulate in an urban professional population. Dental sealants and paediatric dentistry alongside adult services make Yerba Buena a household dental option for the residential population in the surrounding Jackson Square and North Waterfront communities. TMJ/TMD treatment, sedation dentistry, braces, and Invisalign round out the clinical scope.

For Financial District, Embarcadero, and downtown San Francisco patients on the Washington Street corridor who want a full-scope family practice with sleep apnea treatment, full mouth rehabilitation, and periodontics in-house, the 401 Washington Street address provides that combination.

At Yerba Buena Dentistry, located in the financial district of San Francisco, 94111, we offer comprehensive dental care and pride ourselves in creating beautiful smiles. Combining the latest in dental technologies with professional expertise and ongoing education, we provide our patients with outstanding treatment.

Orthodontic care assesses how the teeth and bite are developing and guides each patient toward the treatment that best fits their goals.

Traditional braces use fixed brackets and wires to correct crowding, gaps, and bite problems across a wide range of cases.

Horrible at explaining themselves! On my first visit, the dentist didn't tell me I had any cavities until I went to the front desk and the receptionist asked when I wanted to schedule 11 fillings. Why would the receptionist be telling me about all these cavities, but the dentist never once brought them up while they were doing my routine cleaning? Feels like they are trying to push unnecessary treatments.

My husband saw Dr. Zhu for an exam, and we had a great experience. He did not recommend any unnecessary treatments and took the time to smooth the edge of one of my husband’s teeth that had been injuring his cheek, something none of his previous dentists had addressed. We highly recommend all the dentists at this office. Dr. Yadav and Dr. Liou are both exceptional, knowledgeable, gentle, and truly caring. You can be assured you’re in excellent hands here.

I absolutely love Yerba!!!! 10/10 highly recommend. I commute from Vallejo to SF just to be seen by their professionals. They offer top of the line customer service and dental care. The office is extremely clean and the open floor plan still offers much privacy. They also prioritize your overall health. With an elevated blood pressure reading, I was prompted to see my PCP before resuming dental work. It was a game changer. Some offices will disregard your vitals and still perform procedures. I have been monitoring my blood pressure ever since and even stopped drinking coffee as a result of that appointment. The have been more than a dentistry they have been a life savior. Again, I highly recommend.

My experience was very positive. A quick visit including xray, consult and cleaning was only an hour and a half. Everyone was very professional and friendly. Highly recommend! Also I get very anxious at the dentist, but felt very at ease here.

I am writing to share my positive experience during my first visit to Yerba Buena Dentistry. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed. The receptionist was very helpful in contacting my previous dentist to obtain the necessary information. Dr. Zhu was very gentle and clearly explained the appointments I needed to make. Overall, I am very satisfied with the office.
