Ozone Therapy
Ozone therapy is a natural, non-invasive treatment that harnesses the power of oxygen to disinfect teeth and gums. This reduces inflammation-causing bacteria without discomfort or side effects.

Dental Deep Cleaning
Dental deep cleaning goes beyond regular cleanings to thoroughly remove plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline. This helps prevent harmful bacteria from entering your bloodstream, where it can cause or contribute to systemic health problems like:
- Heart attacks, diabetes, and cancer
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Autoimmune diseases and respiratory disorders
- Bruxism, headaches, and arthritis
- Gut inflammation and mental health issues

Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation
Pinhole gum rejuvenation is a minimally invasive treatment that gently restores receding gums without surgery or sutures. This non-surgical technique treats gum recession by repositioning existing gum tissue, improving gum coverage, and protecting your teeth from sensitivity and decay.

Oral Microbiome Testing
Oral microbiome testing analyzes the balance of bacteria in your mouth to identify harmful pathogens that contribute to cavities, gum disease, and other health problems. This allows us to develop personalized holistic dental treatments targeted to your specific oral environment.

Natural Sleep Apnea Treatments
Natural sleep apnea treatments focus on addressing the root causes of sleep disruptions without relying on CPAP machines. Through oral appliance therapy and lifestyle changes, we help improve breathing and promote restful sleep naturally.

Our non-invasive TMJ treatments provide safe, drug-free alternatives for managing jaw disorders, bruxism, and the accompanying symptoms to help improve your quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Holistic dentistry considers your entire physical and emotional health when preventing, diagnosing, and treating tooth and gum issues. We use advanced dental technologies that are less invasive and require less follow-up care than many traditional treatments.
When you visit Green Dentistry, we will:
- Build a partnership based on your specific health needs
- Educate and empower you to participate in your dental care plan
- Help you achieve healthy teeth and gums for life!
We strive to make your dental exam as comfortable and restorative as possible. We look beyond your teeth to incorporate your whole-body health and offer holistic dental treatments that are minimally invasive and have few to no side effects. Our office is a comfortable environment where we provide dental care that is beautiful, functional, and designed to last for years.
At Green Dentistry, we only use safe, sterile, non-toxic, BPA-free, and mercury-free materials in all of our dental treatments.
Mercury is a toxin and should never be in your body, especially not in your mouth as part of a dental filling! As a holistic dentist and member of the International Academy of Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), Dr. Patel has studied the damage mercury and other toxins inflict upon the body. All of the materials she uses in dental treatments are non-toxic and fully biocompatible, and she is trained in the safe removal of mercury amalgam fillings.
Absolutely! Part of our philosophy as a holistic dental practice, and our approach to care, is creating a welcoming, judgement-free environment. No matter how long it’s been since you’ve seen a dentist, we are here to help you get the care you need.
Yes! We accept a variety of insurance plans. We also accept cash, credit cards, checks, and offer several financing options, including 24-month Care Credit, Lending Club and our own in-office savings plan. If you have questions about insurance, our front desk staff is happy to help you. They will work with you to check your benefits in advance.
Green Dentistry is a San Francisco dentist centrally located in Union Square, right in the heart of the city. Our office is just a short walk from the Powell Street BART station.
Your first appointment at our San Francisco dental office will take about an hour and a half. You’ll begin by completing our new patient paperwork, including a thorough health history, health questionnaire, and privacy policy. After your appointment starts, our experienced staff will ask you questions, get to know your oral hygiene routine, and listen to your health concerns.
We believe in educating patients and empowering them to improve their oral health. We’ll help you improve your home care routine, including tips on proper brushing and flossing technique. Next, a dental hygienist will clean your teeth. Finally, Dr. Patel will complete your examination and make recommendations for proposed dental treatments.
Absolutely! As a holistic dentist, we take pride in creating a relaxing, stress-free atmosphere that’s more like a spa than a traditional dental office. We offer aromatherapy, warm neck wraps, noise-cancelling headphones, and other spa-like amenities to help you relax. But the real difference is our caring team members who are committed to helping you truly enjoy your visit.
The difference is clear. Come see for yourself!
Everyone, regardless of age or circumstance, deserves a healthy, beautiful, smile that will last a lifetime.
Good oral hygiene is essential to overall health and well-being, not just a healthy mouth. The mouth is the gateway to the body, and taking care of it is an important part of staying healthy for life.
Patients should feel empowered to express their desires as well as their concerns and make informed decisions about their dental care.
Dental treatment is highly personal and should be customized to the individual patient’s unique needs, goals, and lifestyle.
At Green Dentistry, we are more than just your typical dental practice. We aspire to be a healthcare resource for our patients, helping them improve their quality of life from the inside out.
