Zen Dental Studio

4.9(314)·845 m from San Francisco Downtown
94Smyleee

254, 5th Street, SoMa, San Francisco, California

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 8 AM

Documented for orthodontics in San Francisco, with dental implants on the service list and 15 procedures on file.

Read full description

<p>Zen Dental Studio is at 254 5th Street in San Francisco's South of Market (SoMa) neighbourhood — on 5th Street in the district between the Financial District, the Mission, and the Civic Center, where the surrounding blocks house technology offices, co-working facilities, and converted industrial residential buildings. SoMa has become San Francisco's technology industry hub, with major companies concentrated along the Folsom, Harrison, and 5th Street corridors — creating a dense daytime professional population and a residential community of younger professionals who live and work within walking distance of the practice.</p> <p>The practice name and design orientation signal a deliberate approach to the dental visit experience — a clinical environment styled around calm, intentional design intended to reduce the anxiety that affects a significant proportion of dental patients. In SoMa's technology professional demographic, where product and workplace design are high-context values shaped by engineers and designers who understand the relationship between environment and user experience, a dental practice that applies design-intentionality to its clinical space occupies a distinct position from a standard general dental office.</p> <p>Orthodontics including Invisalign is listed alongside cosmetic dentistry, veneers, and teeth whitening — a cosmetic and alignment service set aligned with the SoMa professional demographic's consistent demand for aesthetic dental improvement. Sedation dentistry is available for patients for whom the calm practice environment alone does not fully address procedural anxiety — pharmacological management for the subset of SoMa patients who have avoided dental care specifically because anxiety has made clinical visits unmanageable.</p> <p>Dental implants, crown and bridge restorations, and gum disease treatment complete the restorative scope. Full-mouth digital radiography supports accurate diagnosis across the clinical range. Invisalign for adult alignment correction without visible appliances is particularly well-matched to the SoMa professional demographic's esthetic expectations.</p> <p>For SoMa, Civic Center, and downtown San Francisco patients on the 5th Street corridor who want a design-conscious general dental practice with Invisalign, implants, and sedation dentistry in a deliberately calm clinical environment, Zen Dental Studio's 254 5th Street address provides that combination in South of Market.</p>

All Smiles Dental

4.9(217)·7.6 km from San Francisco Downtown
89Smyleee

156, West Portal Avenue, West of Twin Peaks, San Francisco, California

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 8 AM

Orthodontics focus in San Francisco, with dental implants listed among 26 documented services.

Read full description

<p>All Smiles Dental is at 156 West Portal Avenue in San Francisco's West Portal neighbourhood — on the main commercial street of the West Portal community, in southwest San Francisco along the K, L, and M Muni Metro lines that make the neighbourhood accessible from the downtown financial district and the Inner Sunset. West Portal is one of San Francisco's most stable residential neighbourhoods, with long-term homeownership, low-rise Victorian commercial character along the avenue, and the Muni portal that gives the neighbourhood its name.</p> <p>Maxillofacial surgery and gum grafting are listed as specific services — clinical capabilities that substantially extend the scope beyond standard general dentistry. Oral and maxillofacial surgery at a West Portal general practice covers the range from complex wisdom tooth removal and alveolar surgery through jaw pathology and biopsy of suspicious oral lesions. Gum grafting — the use of connective tissue or pedicle grafts to restore gingival recession — addresses one of the most common consequences of long-term periodontal disease or aggressive tooth brushing trauma, particularly in an older residential population with decades of established oral habits.</p> <p>Sleep apnea treatment, oral cancer screening, and endodontics in-house complete a scope that positions All Smiles as a general practice capable of managing clinical needs that most practices would refer to specialists. In the West Portal neighbourhood — where many households have maintained relationships with the same general dental practice for years — a practice that handles surgical, endodontic, and sleep medicine needs without breaking the patient-provider relationship provides significant practical value.</p> <p>The practice is described as a group of providers with different training backgrounds — a structure that allows the surgical and periodontal scope to be covered by appropriately trained providers rather than by a generalist operating outside their core training. Orthodontics including braces and Invisalign, bone grafting for implant site preparation, and a comprehensive restorative menu round out the clinical scope.</p> <p>For West Portal, West of Twin Peaks, and Forest Hill patients on the West Portal Avenue corridor who want a multi-provider general practice with maxillofacial surgery, gum grafting, sleep apnea treatment, and endodontics in-house, the 156 West Portal Avenue address provides that combination.</p>

Washington Square Park Dental

4.9(399)·1.4 km from San Francisco Downtown
88Smyleee

1719, Powell Street, Russian Hill, San Francisco, California

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 7 AM

San Francisco clinic with a orthodontics specialty — Dental Implants is on file among 16 procedures.

Read full description

<p>Washington Square Park Dental is at 1719 Powell Street in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighbourhood — on Powell Street near the North Beach and Russian Hill boundary, close to Washington Square Park on Columbus Avenue. The neighbourhood location sits between Fisherman's Wharf, North Beach, and the established residential community of Russian Hill, accessible from the Muni Powell Street cable car corridor and within walking distance of the North Beach restaurant and retail district.</p> <p>The practice occupies a LEED-certified dental space — the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification indicating a practice environment meeting federal sustainability standards for energy efficiency, water use, indoor air quality, and materials selection. In San Francisco's Russian Hill and North Beach community, where environmental values are high among the residential and professional population, a LEED-certified practice environment reflects a commitment to sustainability that extends beyond the clinical offering. The certification also implies measurable indoor air quality standards — a meaningful factor in a dental environment where aerosol and chemical exposures are part of routine clinical activity.</p> <p>Dental anaesthesia is listed as a specific service — IV sedation beyond standard local anaesthetic and nitrous oxide. At a Russian Hill practice in this walkable San Francisco neighbourhood, deep procedural sedation allows complex restorative cases and patients with significant anxiety to be treated efficiently, reducing the number of separate appointments required for multi-unit dental work. For Russian Hill and North Beach professionals whose schedules make multiple dental appointments difficult, this procedural efficiency is practically significant.</p> <p>CAD/CAM dental restorations allow same-session crown delivery from a chairside digital scan — eliminating the temporary crown period and return visit that conventional laboratory-fabricated crowns require. Smile makeovers and cosmetic dentistry address the esthetic demand of the Russian Hill and North Beach demographic. Invisalign and orthodontics cover adult alignment correction within the practice rather than requiring a separate orthodontist relationship. Implants and crown and bridge restorations complete the restorative range.</p> <p>For Russian Hill, North Beach, and Fisherman's Wharf patients on the Powell Street corridor who want a cosmetic and restorative general practice with dental anaesthesia capability, CAD/CAM technology, and a LEED-certified practice environment, the 1719 Powell Street address provides that combination.</p>

Ho David T DDS, Inc.

4.9(132)·1.3 km from San Francisco Downtown
86Smyleee

1500, Bush Street, Cathedral Hill, San Francisco, California

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 8 AM

San Francisco practice known for orthodontics, with Dental Implants among 34 documented procedures.

Read full description

<p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p>

Yerba Buena Dentistry

4.8(182)·1.1 km from San Francisco Downtown
87Smyleee

401, Washington Street, Financial District, San Francisco, California

Closed · Opens Thursday at 9 AM

Documented for pediatric dentistry in San Francisco, with dental implants on the service list and 31 procedures on file.

Read full description

<p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p>

Afshin Rahimi, DMD

4.8(50)·2.9 km from San Francisco Downtown
83Smyleee

2007, Divisadero Street, Pacific Heights, San Francisco, California

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 9 AM

San Francisco clinic with a dental implants specialty — Dental Implants is on file among 14 procedures.

Read full description

<p>Afshin Rahimi, DMD has practiced at 2007 Divisadero Street in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighbourhood since establishing the practice in 1992 — a location on one of San Francisco's main north-south arterials at the boundary between Pacific Heights and the Fillmore District. Pacific Heights is one of San Francisco's most established residential neighbourhoods, characterised by Victorian and Edwardian architecture, proximity to the Presidio, Alta Plaza Park, and Japantown, and a long-term demographic of San Francisco homeowners and professionals.</p> <p>Thirty years of practice at the same Divisadero Street address creates a clinical continuity that is unusual in San Francisco's competitive and frequently consolidating dental market. A patient who began dental care with Dr. Rahimi in 1992 has accumulated decades of diagnostic records, radiographic baselines, and clinical history with a single provider — a longitudinal relationship with the patient's oral health that no newly established practice can replicate. The accumulated case history across that timeframe — treatments performed, materials placed, endodontic work completed, prosthetics designed — gives Dr. Rahimi contextual knowledge of each long-term patient's oral health that cannot be transferred into a new chart.</p> <p>Crown and bridge restorations, dental implants, and root canal treatment cover the restorative and endodontic scope. Gum disease treatment is on the service list — in Pacific Heights, periodontal maintenance for a long-term patient population with consistent recall histories differs in character from acute gum disease management in a younger demographic that deferred routine care. Cosmetic dentistry, veneers, and teeth whitening address the cosmetic expectations of the Pacific Heights professional community.</p> <p>Staff members who have remained with the practice for extended periods reinforce the continuity of the clinical relationship. In a San Francisco market where newer dental practices and corporate group practices have expanded aggressively, the 1992-established Divisadero address represents a practice whose patient relationships span multiple decades.</p> <p>For Pacific Heights, Fillmore, and Western Addition patients on the Divisadero Street corridor who want a long-established general dental practice with a three-decade patient relationship history at the same address, Dr. Rahimi's 2007 Divisadero Street provides that continuity of care.</p>

How to Choose a Dentist in San Francisco - California

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated July 15, 2026Independently reviewed

Dental implants in San Francisco benefit from the UCSF School of Dentistry's graduate oral surgery and periodontology and prosthodontic programmes — some of the most competitive implant training residencies in the United States, whose research-active faculty maintain the evidence base for implant biomaterials, guided surgery protocols, and peri-implant tissue management that the San Francisco private specialist community applies in daily clinical practice. The UCSF oral surgery and implant training clinic provides reduced-fee implant placement access for eligible patients, and the private ABOMS and AAP Diplomate practices in the Marina, Hayes Valley, and Pacific Heights corridors serve the commercially insured and private-pay patient whose tech-sector income supports the implant investment at San Francisco's premium market fees. The Chinese-American elder community's implant access — whose Cantonese-language specialist consultation is the prerequisite for the informed consent conversation that the complex prosthetic treatment plan requires — is served by the Cantonese-speaking implant specialist practices in the Chinatown, Richmond, and Sunset district corridors.

Smyleee evaluated San Francisco dental implant providers on ABOMS or AAP Diplomate or UCSF residency training, CBCT guided surgical planning as the standard protocol, implant system quality, Cantonese-language consultation for the Chinese-American elder patient community, Spanish-language capability for the Mission District Latino patient, Denti-Cal billing for covered prosthetic services, UCSF training clinic network connectivity, and clinical outcome consistency at three and five-year implant survival and prosthetic function. These ten San Francisco practices are the implant providers the data confirmed as most reliably delivering UCSF-quality-standard implant care to the full economic and demographic range of San Francisco's complex patient community.
