Teeth Cleaning
Finally, after a year of procrastination, I finally made an appointment at Dental Health of San Francisco. It seemed appropriate. Almost all my health care providers were Chinese! When I was warmly greeted by Dr. Quach, I scowled and told him, 'I hate dentists.' He just smiled and insisted he would change that feeling. Everyone in the office was so nice ( where they imbibing some sort of happy gas? ). I met his lovely wife, Dr. Chen and all the staff and was in and out of there so quickly. Dr. Quach, himself, did my tooth cleaning! I was so impressed by it all, I even went home and wrote a Yelp review ( his first ). The next time I went in, he gave me a discount because a client had come in because of the Yelp review!

Fillings
Composite fillings are today's modern filling choice. They are made to match your tooth's natural color to make them virtually invisible to notice and are placed onto the tooth by bonding the filling material to the tooth so they do not have the unlikely chance of falling off. Many patients choose to replace their old silver and gold fillings with composite fillings.
Resin Composite
Bonding is among the easiest and least expensive of cosmetic dental procedures. The composite resin used in bonding can be shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth. Most often, bonding is used for cosmetic purposes to improve the appearance of a discolored or chipped tooth. It also can be used to close spaces between teeth, to make teeth look longer or to change the shape or color of teeth. Sometimes, bonding is used as a cosmetic alternative to amalgam fillings or to protect a portion of the tooth's root that has been exposed when gums recede.
Veneers
If your smile is in need of a makeover, crowns can provide predictable results. Crowns can give an unattractive tooth back its beautiful shape and color. For smaller or worn down teeth, a crown can restore the natural size of the old tooth. A crown can replace either part of or the tooth's entire structure. For procedures requiring only the areas visible from the outside, a veneer may be an alternative option.
Crowns
Wisdom teeth generally begin to form in your pre-teen years. By late teen years, the crown of the wisdom teeth will begin to erupt through the gums if there is adequate room. By mid twenties, your wisdom teeth will either be able to fully erupt or will have become impacted. Early removal of wisdom teeth makes the procedure easier for the patient to tolerate and promotes faster healing after wards. By your early forties, the wisdom teeth roots have become fully anchored to the jawbone and if required to be extracted, will be much harder and will need more time to heal.
Bridges
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding requires the least amount of a tooth's enamel to be removed, thus minimizing discomfort and keeping as much of your tooth's structural integrity as possible.
Restorative Dentistry
Here at Dental Health of San Francisco, we take tremendous pride in being able to provide COMFORTABLE dental services to our patients by using high-tech dental equipment combined with sedation options for those truly nervous patients. Restoring your smile is easier than ever in our dental office!

Pulpotomy
Stainless steel crowns, also known as 'silver crowns or caps', are a very common procedure used to restore 'baby teeth' (and occasionally permanent teeth) that have large caries or those that had a pulpotomy (baby root canal). Although most teeth can be filled with a white or silver filling material, stainless steel crowns are by far the most predictable and durable option to fix 'baby teeth' with large caries, large defects, or damaged enamel. This is particularly true in very young children that have caries at a young age, since it is preferred that the 'fixed' teeth last as long as possible.
Root Canal Treatment
Endodontics is a specialty in dentistry that deal with dental pulp. The pulp is the innermost part of the tooth, protected by the outer hard surface and enamel. In cases of tooth decay, the outer layer and enamel erodes away to form holes or cavities that expose teh dental pulp within. Bacteria, microbes, and hot or cold temperatures can effect the pulp, causing tooth aches or sensitivity. Dental Health of San Francisco is here to help keep your smile healthy and beautiful.

Dentures
There are certain circumstances where the removal of some or all teeth are required. At Dental Health of San Francisco we offer multiple denture options based upon the individual. On a case-by-case basis, we are able to evaluate the patient and find a solution that is best fit for them. If you feel you are in need of dentures, call us today at (415) 889-0968 or request an appointment online and let us help get you on your way to a smooth transition to a more functional happy smile.

Dental Implants
A dental implant is a replacement option that looks and feel like your natural teeth. With good oral hygiene, they can last up to 20 years or more!

Ridge Augmentation
Platelet rich plasma (PRP), a by-product of blood (plasma), is rich in platelets. PRP permits the body to take advantage of the normal healing pathways at a greatly accelerated rate. During the healing process, the body rushes many cells and cell-types to the wound in order to initiate the healing process. One of those cell types is platelets. Platelets perform many functions, including formation of a blood clot and release of growth factors into the wound. These growth factors function is to assist the body in repairing itself by stimulating stem cells to regenerate new tissue. The more growth factors released into the wound, the faster the healing. PRP promotes healing in bone grafting for dental implants, onlay and inlay grafts, sinus lift procedures, ridge augmentation procedures, and closure of cleft, lip, palate defects, repair of bone defects creating by removal of teeth or small cysts, and the repair of fistulas between the sinus cavity and mouth. This is of great significance to the surgeon who places dental implants. By adding PRP your implant surgeon can now grow bone more predictably and faster than ever before.
Bone Grafting
A: Not necessarily, however, as with most cases the application of PRP to a graft will increase the final amount of bone present in addition to making the wound heal faster and more efficiently.

Orthodontics
Invisalign Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment is an opportunity to improve the functionality of the teeth and bite, correct facial imbalance, facilitate better oral hygiene, properly prepare for restorations and/or implants, improve sleep, and boost self-esteem. Dental Health of San Francisco offers clear braces, Invisalign and ClearCorrect.
Braces
Sonicare is excellent in battling gum disease, dry mouth, bad breath and tooth sensitivity. Its sweeping motion is very good in cleaning around dental restorations such as implants, crowns and veneers as well as cleaning braces.

Teeth Whitening
The outer-most layer of your tooth, the enamel, is what becomes stained or discolored and adversely, whitened during teeth whitening treatment. The tooth's enamel is actually quite porous when looked at up close and thinking about it this way makes it easier to understand how teeth can become stained.
