Amy Guthrie DDS

Our preventive care focuses on early detection and maintenance to preserve oral health. We use digital X-rays and DiagnoDent laser technology to identify issues like cavities and gum disease before they escalate. Patients receive personalized hygiene guidance and tools to improve at-home care, ensuring long-term dental wellness through regular cleanings and exams.

CEREC technology allows us to restore damaged teeth in a single appointment. Using 3D imaging and precision milling, we create ceramic crowns that match your natural teeth in shape and color. This eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple visits, providing durable, aesthetically pleasing results in under two hours.

We offer customized oral appliances to manage obstructive sleep apnea by repositioning the jaw to keep airways open. Our approach includes diagnostic support, appliance fabrication, and follow-up care to ensure comfort and effectiveness, improving sleep quality and overall health without invasive procedures.

Hard and soft tissue lasers enable minimally invasive treatments, such as cavity preparation without drills or anesthesia. Laser use reduces discomfort, promotes faster healing, and targets decay or gum disease with precision, preserving healthy tissue while enhancing patient comfort during procedures.

Our gum disease treatment combines scaling, root planing, and laser decontamination to remove plaque and bacteria. We use localized antibiotics like Arestin and probiotics to restore gum health, focusing on non-surgical solutions to halt disease progression and maintain stable oral conditions.

Great service, an automated 3d tooth printer created a new crown that was placed in one appointment today. Receptionist helped me make this post. Thanks, five stars!

I have been a patient of Dr. Amy's for many years and mostly I see her hygienist, Megan. Last time I was in, I explained to Amy that my teeth were hurting when I would bite down. Amy took a look and told me that I had not only a cracked tooth, but also a bad filling. We agreed the teeth should be repaired sooner than later.so, today was the day! I have to say it was one of the best experiences I have had seeing a dentist.

Her assistant was very nice and accommodating, which made me feel relaxed! When Dr. Amy came in she did an amazing job at getting my teeth numb, I felt nothing. and trust me, I have had other dentists that were not very good at getting me numb and it was not pleasant. The whole process was awesome and Dr. Amy was a total pro, through and through! She recommended a porcelain onlay which is stronger and lasts longer than a composite filling.

When she finished, she showed me what she had done and I was very pleased. I could hardly tell she had worked on my teeth, it looked that good! If you are in the area and looking for a quality dentist, she's the one for you! I am a patient for life! Thanks Dr. Amy, you rock!

Amy and Ashvin are the best in the Bay Area. My family and I have been using them for decades. Their practice is state of the art and just simple amazing experience every time I visit. The results and advise has made me cavity free, that's right, my family and I have never had any cavities in my whole entire life. Thanks for keeping my teeth and gums in excellent shape. Much appreciated by me!

Dr Amy has been our dentist close to 15 years and I just realized that I have never given her the credit she deserves, since Yelp was not even around when my husband and I started come to her clinic. Not only does Dr Amy do extraordinary good dental work, she has even seen me on a Christmas Day, and she has seen my visiting nervous brother on short notice. She is also connected with very good specialists if needed. Ashwin who is my dental hygienist is the best one you can have and the staff, professional and friendly Marie and Amanda among others, contribute to an overall very pleasant visit (said by someone who always have been if not fearful so at least concerned before visiting any type of doctor).

I literally picked Dr Amy out of a book, nearly at random, in 1990. That was like winning the jackpot! If I ever moved away I'd be another one of her out-of-state patients, no way would I look for a new dentist.

I've been seeing Dr Amy and dental hygienist Ashvin for over 20 years. They have kept my teeth and gums healthy. They both love what they do and take pride in their work. I didn't enjoy going to the dentist before I met them but I do now. Ashvin and Dr Amy have helped me figure out over the years how to keep my teeth clean and healthy between visits. I of course brushed my teeth but they helped me to brush and floss correctly.

My previous dentist told me to floss, but Dr Amy and Ashvin actually asked me what my issues were with flossing and helped me overcome them. They keep careful notes and also notice changes in my mouth and make recommendations based on my particular situation. That personal touch and care has made the biggest difference to my oral health. Dr Amy keeps up with technology that improves the patient's experience.

I had three old metal mercury fillings that I got as a teen (pre Dr Amy) that eventually cracked and broke. Dr Amy now has a laser so it is pain free to replace them with ceramic fillings. She also has a super high tech x-ray that does a 360 view of your whole mouth in one go so you get a lot more information with a lot less radiation.

I have been going to Dr. Amy for more than 20 years. That is evidence of how much of a satisfied client I am. She has always given me excellent professional care. Her office has state of the art equipment, and I have complete trust in her advice and care.
