Services
Cosmetic Bonding in San Francisco
We provide cosmetic bonding as a conservative option for improving the appearance of chipped, cracked, or uneven teeth. Using tooth-colored composite resin, we carefully restore form and balance while preserving natural tooth structure. Treatment is typically completed in one visit. This approach offers an efficient and affordable way to enhance your smile with minimal intervention.
Restorative Dentistry
Through restorative dentistry, we help patients repair the effects of time, daily use, and previous dental work. We take a thorough, individualized approach to restore damaged or missing teeth with solutions designed for durability and balance. This care supports oral health, improves function, and helps patients feel confident in their smiles.
Implant Dentistry
We provide implant dentistry to replace missing teeth with durable dental implants designed to function like natural roots. Our process includes comprehensive evaluation, precise surgical placement, and a healing phase that allows the implant to integrate with the jawbone. Once complete, a custom restoration is attached to restore strength, comfort, and appearance.
Teeth Whitening
We provide professional teeth whitening designed to safely enhance the natural brightness of your smile. Our dentist-supervised treatments effectively lift stains caused by everyday habits while protecting enamel health. Each option is carefully customized to your goals, delivering consistent results with minimal sensitivity. The outcome is a refreshed, healthy-looking smile that appears naturally bright.
Dr. Esra Yener
We deliver care under the leadership of Dr. Esra Salihoglu Yener, a dentist with extensive experience in prosthodontics, implant dentistry, and comprehensive treatment planning. Her professional path includes advanced education, clinical practice, and academic teaching. This foundation enables our team to provide thoughtful, high-quality dentistry supported by modern techniques.

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.

Dr. Yener was very easy to understand and explain what may be required in the future. Dr. Hallisy has retired and she was excellent in all manners so its a change but so far so good.
