The Community San Francisco Gentle Dental is conveniently located in the shopping plaza at the northeast corner of Mission Street and 21st Street. Our office is across from Children’s Choice Pediatric Hospital.
We offer many ways to pay for the dental procedures you need. We accept nearly all major dental insurance plans, offer payment plans for many dentistry services, and provide discounted payment through a Dedicated Dental Plan, which reduces costs of most procedures by 20 percent or more. We know how difficult it can be to find the time for dental appointments, so our practice is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and until 4 p.m. on Saturday.
Our highly experienced team specializes in orthodontics and general family dentistry services, including consultations, biannual exams, teeth cleaning, fillings, root canals, crowns, and much more. We also offer teeth whitening. Our kind and attentive staff will make sure you’re as comfortable as possible.
Give our friendly administrative staff a call at 415-787-4272 to schedule your appointment today.

:: Initial review after my first visit -- I'm very happy I chose this dental office on my first try. I hadn't been in to the dentist for more than a few cleanings in a couple of years, and I was happy to be treated so well. Both by the dentist and from the office staff. I could tell immediately that the staff were going through all the details with my complicated insurance to make sure as much of my dental work as possible would be covered. I'm very happy to be scheduling another visit soon!

Dr. Issa and Dr. Moattar were my providers and they were both very friendly and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire procedure. I would recommend them to anyone! Also, Roxanne assisted during the procedure and accommodated to all my needs. Overall impeccable experience at this office every time I've been here

I've been here twice already, and each time I have great service. Dr. B (his name is a lot longer) is amazing. He's really nice and makes sure you understand what's going on. He also likes to talk about 'Scrape Escape,' I won't spoil it haha,but when you visit, ask him (: the Orthodontist (whose name is also long) is so sweet ! He made me less nervous about getting braces and explained to me why I needed them and what I needed to do. José, is also amazing. He's an assistant I believe and does a good job ! All the women at the front are so sweet and don't make taking the time to talk about your insurance or whatever other questions you have. I hate the dentist, doctors in general lol, but I love going here. Wouldn't trade them at all (:

Very pleasant experience. I was there today and nervous having had a veneer pop of my front tooth last night. Dr Punch was great- honest and direct- and cemented it back on. Dr Punch also took the time to talk to me about the future and how long veneers last. The front staff - very nice, even dealing with my insurance which is limited until February 1. It is cheaper insurance and I was upset that my company switched to this lesser plan. I was on an emergency exemption today to get the veneer repaired with said limited insurance. I was nervous about this - and having to go to a new dentist due to the insurance change... My uncle is a dentist...My brother a maxillofacial oral surgeon. And I know from stories passed at the Thanksgiving table that patients are not always easy...today I was one of those difficult patients. And so, I wish to thank the staff at Gentle Dental - they were so helpful and professional, and all the while I was being a nervous (and difficult) patient. Lastly, this is a business. SF commercial rents are high and one needs to make a decent wage to live in or near this city. The charges at Gentle Dental are very reasonable. -Kate Simmons

My family and I are new to the area, I'm going to put in a call to see what I can do to switch my husband and myself to this office rather than where we are currently. Great, fast and awesome service. Thank you!!

This place is great! Wait times weren't too long and they numbed me good so I didn't feel my cavities being filled. The noise freaks me out but they were so nice and patient with me....thanks! I can't wait for my bleaching trays to come in either, time for my smile to shine ;)
