Why Choose Our Dental Practice

Choosing the right California dentist for your needs can seem overwhelming. The dental practitioner you choose plays a significant role in the overall outcome of your treatment.

Whether you’re simply getting your teeth deep cleaned or are completely revamping your smile, the end results are heavily impacted by the skill, expertise, and experience of the dentist providing your care. Inexperienced dentists can leave patients with obvious restorations, exposed to toxic materials, and potentially even in severe, ongoing pain.

At Green Dentistry, our staff are highly experienced and well-trained to offer quality care for adult patients of any age. We provide a variety of treatment options and will take the time to discuss with you the potential benefits and drawbacks of each before you decide. Then, we’ll customize your treatment plan to your needs and budget, so you can get the dental health care you need.

Your First Visit

Your first appointment with our San Francisco dentist will generally be a comprehensive dental exam to determine your unique dental health needs. No two patients are alike nor will they require the same treatment.

Your first appointment will include:

  • Gum Disease & Cavity Evaluation
  • Bite Analysis
  • Digital X-Rays
  • Teeth Cleaning
  • Oral Cancer Screening

We begin by checking you in at the front desk and helping you to complete any necessary paperwork before taking you back for X-rays, including a health questionnaire, insurance information, and emergency contact details. If you completed the online registration form above, you may only need to sign a few things before your appointment.

Our technicians will obtain X-ray images of your teeth and jaw and ask you about your health history, any oral pain, inflammation, or other symptoms you may be experiencing. Then, you’ll meet with our dentist to discuss your treatment options.

Your first appointment will be relaxed and unhurried. From start to finish, expect to spend about an hour and a half at our office. We’ll help you create a cost-effective treatment plan that addresses your most urgent needs first and leaves you with a healthy-looking smile.

Next, an experienced hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth and prepare you to meet with Dr. Patel. During your cleaning and exam, you will:

  • Feel relaxed and at ease.
  • Be educated and empowered to make good oral health choices.
  • Learn how to properly care for your teeth and gums.
  • Have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and get the answers you need.
  • Be an active participant in the development of your treatment plan.

After your exam is completed, we’ll review our findings and discuss your treatment options in detail.

Our Dedication to Patient Care & Comfort

We take the comfort of our patients seriously and offer a wide variety of services to make your visit more enjoyable. If you struggle with dental anxiety, we offer different forms of sedation to keep you relaxed or asleep while we complete your dental work.

We also use advanced dental technology to control infections, reduce patient exposure to harmful chemicals, and create accurate images for dental restoration procedures.

Filing Your Insurance Claim

For many patients, the cost of dental care is a barrier to obtaining treatment. Dental insurance can help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for many types of treatments, including exams, fillings, extractions, and most other medically necessary procedures.

We work with Humana, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and many other major dental insurance providers to ensure our patients can get the dental health care they need.

Our goal is to ensure our patients have access to affordable, quality dental care in San Francisco. We accept most credit cards and can help you make payment arrangements or apply for financing prior to your appointment.

Doctor Referrals

If you are a physician and wish to refer your patient to our office, we provide an easy, HIPAA-compliant web referral form for you to use.
