Services
At Anchor Dental, we provide Invisalign treatment using clear, custom-made aligners designed to straighten teeth discreetly. Our process begins with a comprehensive consultation and digital impressions to create a precise 3D model for planning your treatment. Each aligner gently shifts your teeth, allowing easy removal for eating and cleaning. This modern approach ensures comfort and effective results for a healthier smile.
Our preventive dental services at Anchor Dental help patients maintain excellent oral hygiene and prevent dental complications. Through routine professional cleanings, check-ups, and X-rays, we identify and treat issues before they escalate. We also provide customized advice on daily care practices and healthy lifestyle choices, empowering you to protect your teeth and enjoy a radiant, long-lasting smile.
At Anchor Dental, our restorative dentistry services are designed to repair and rebuild teeth affected by damage, wear, or loss. From crowns and bridges to implant restorations and full-mouth rehabilitation, we focus on restoring comfort, function, and balance. Each treatment is tailored to your unique dental needs, ensuring a natural, healthy smile that enhances confidence and daily performance.

Everything went well, until I was told the bill was $450. I have been getting my teeth cleaned with an exray for over 50 years in SF and have never experienced a price like that. I am a Social Security recipient and my monthly amount is $660...as a result, I was unable to pay my bill at your office - I did pay a $200 partial payment and will send you the remainder today. However, this charge is not sustainable for me in the future, sincerely, Peter Munks

Wonderful Doctor. I've been looking for a dentist in the San Francisco area and I feel very lucky to have found Dr. Yener. She used to be the instructor at Harvard Dental school teaching the craft of dentistry to those students. No wonder why she is so thorough and efficient at the same time. Highly recommended.

Enter into a space where high professionalism is paired with cutting edge technology and reasonable evaluation where the patients needs are top priority!
I received the best dental cleaning Ive had so far in the Bay Area.
Afterwards Dr. Yener guided me through my treatment plan where she thoroughly explained the pros and cons of each step. I really felt well informed without being pushed to one or the other option.
Needless to say that the whole staff is super friendly and professional!
The office is very quiet, there is a calm athmosphere where you feel almost like in a spa oasis.
Thank you very much Dr. Yener & Team!
