Cosmetic Bonding in San Francisco
Cosmetic bonding at Anchor Dental in San Francisco is a minimally invasive dental procedure designed to improve the appearance of teeth by applying a tooth-colored composite resin directly to the tooth surface. It can correct small imperfections such as chips, cracks, uneven edges, gaps between teeth, and mild discoloration, enhancing overall smile aesthetics. The resin is carefully shaped and polished to blend naturally with your existing teeth, often completed in a single visit. Cosmetic bonding is a cost-effective alternative to veneers for many patients seeking a more confident and attractive smile.
Restorative Dentistry
Our restorative dentistry services focus on repairing and replacing teeth so the mouth works together as it should. From individual restorations to more complex rehabilitation, we plan every case with precision and attention to detail. The goal is lasting strength, improved comfort, and a healthy smile that looks and feels natural.
Implant Dentistry
Our implant dentistry treatments are designed to replace missing teeth with stable, long-lasting implants. We carefully evaluate bone health, place the implant surgically, and allow time for proper osseointegration. After healing, a personalized restoration is attached, helping improve oral function, appearance, and overall dental stability.
Teeth Whitening
We offer advanced teeth whitening solutions that restore clarity and vibrancy to your smile. Under professional supervision, our treatments address common stains while maintaining enamel integrity. Each whitening plan is personalized to ensure predictable, uniform results. Our goal is to help you achieve lasting brightness that enhances confidence without appearing artificial.

With advanced training in prosthodontics, implant dentistry, and restorative care, she brings global clinical experience and academic leadership.

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

The facility is well-maintained and organized, the hygienist is gentle and provides valuable tips on maintaining healthy dental habits, and previous concerns regarding insurance claims were addressed promptly and resolved satisfactorily.

I am always well served at Anchor Dental from reception through to the end of my procedure. Once again my dental hygienist, Lydia, provided a thorough deep down cleaning. I have been a patient of Dr. Hallisy's for many years and can vouch for their outstanding care.

New to San Francisco, but I was able to get an appointment with Dr. Yener quickly and she accepted my insurance. She was personable, asked the right questions about my dental history, and conducted a comprehensive dental examination. Her recommendation for two fillings was thoughtful and she performed that work without any pain. Overall great experience; I have recommended her to my wife.

Dr. Yener and her team are fantastic! They're professional, friendly, and genuinely care about their patients. Dr. Yener only recommends what's necessary, never pushing unnecessary treatments to make a quick buck. Highly recommend!

I was raised to believe that the planets align for a reason, and if you believe in science, you can understand why they do. After my first visit at ANCHOR DENTAL yesterday, I am now uncertain if I just lucked out when I searched for a dentist located at West Portal ( I wanted to take the MUNI train) or if meeting Esra Salihoglu Yener, DDS, PhD., was kismet! From my initial contact with Sally, the receptionist, to my cleaning with Mary, my dental hygienist, I knew I was in good hands.
The entire ANCHOR DENTAL was kind, patient with my chatty nature, and listened. After this initial ANCHOR DENTAL experience with Esra and team, I will be recommending this practice to my young adult son, and I plan to back in June.
