Fight Oral Cancer

Show & tell

San Francisco cosmetic dentistryIs that a piece of food caught in your teeth? Made you look! And a good thing too. Sometimes patients are so nervous about what they'll find - especially oral cancer - that they just don't want to see. But visual monitoring is essential for early cancer detection. It's important that you check your mouth and let us know about sores or ulcers that bleed easily or do not heal, white or red patches or lumps that don't go away, and lingering soreness.

With early detection, most oral cancer can be cured, yet 70% are identified at an advances stage. That's why we always check your tongue, lips, cheek lining, and gums at every regular visit.

Screening for oral cancer is a team effort. We rely on you ... and you know you can count on us.

Success!

What's luck got to do with it?

Lucky people smile twice as often and engage in more eye contact than unlucky people do. According to scientists, this leads to more social engagements, which in turn generates more chances for positive experiences. Cosmetic dentistry can give you the confidence to smile more ... maybe that's all the luck you need!

Whether you're looking to network socially or professionally, here are some cosmetic options...

Sparkle-up your smile with teeth whitening, If you're considering cosmetic dentistry for the first time, this simple procedure can produce striking confidence-building results.

Illuminate the shadows with white fillings. Replace dark, older fillings with new natural-looking materials that can be matched to your enamel.

Generate a younger, more attractive smile with bonding or veneers which offer value-added benefits! They can cover the deepest stains, repair cracks, chips, and rough edges, plus disguise gaps, re-proportion, and balance the appearance of your smile without braces.

Add strength and beauty to your smile with natural-looking crowns. If your teeth have been weakened by root canal therapy, multiple fillings, or trauma, porcelain crowns will restore strength and improve appearance.

Create a more balanced and symmetrical gumline with veneers or gum sculpting. Whether your gums have begun to recede or you have been longing to reveal the beautiful enamel under too much gum, we have a technique that will work for you.
