Safe Amalgam Removal
Our protocol follows IAOMT guidelines for mercury-safe removal using rubber dams, vacuum systems, and room filters. We implement protective measures for both patients and staff while ensuring proper biohazard disposal. This procedure helps reduce toxic burden while supporting systemic health improvements.
Biocompatible Materials
We use compatibility testing to identify materials that work with your body's chemistry. This prevents adverse reactions while using durable porcelain, composite, and zirconium options for fillings, crowns, and implants. Our mercury-free approach ensures safer dental treatments.
ALF Orthodontics
Advanced Lightwire Functional appliances address misalignment through cranial osteopathy principles. This method improves breathing patterns, dental arch development, and facial symmetry without traditional braces. Treatment creates natural space for teeth while supporting airway health.
Ozone Therapy
We apply ozonated water and oils to eliminate pathogens in dental procedures. This natural antimicrobial accelerates healing after extractions, reduces sensitivity, and treats periodontal disease. Ozone integration enhances treatment outcomes through improved oxygenation and immune response.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Custom-made aligners straighten teeth discreetly using gradual pressure. Treatment improves bite function, airway space, and smile aesthetics without metal brackets. Series changes every two weeks offer comfortable, predictable orthodontic results for adults seeking subtle correction.

Questions
What makes biological dentistry different?
Biological dentistry considers oral health's impact on whole-body wellness, using non-toxic materials and addressing systemic connections through nutritional and functional medicine partnerships.
Do you take dental insurance?
We accept PPO insurance plans and assist with claims submission. Patients should bring current dental and medical insurance information to their first visit for proper coverage verification.
Is mercury filling removal safe?
Our IAOMT-certified protocol uses protective barriers, air filtration, and cooling techniques to minimize exposure during amalgam removal while following strict environmental disposal regulations.
How do biocompatible materials work?
Compatibility testing identifies materials least likely to cause immune reactions. We use porcelain, composite, and zirconium options that bond safely with your body's natural chemistry for durable restorations.
What ages do you treat?
We provide family dental care for all ages, with ALF orthodontic treatment available for children as young as 6 years old through adult orthodontic solutions.
Do you offer emergency dental care?
While we don't operate 24/7, we provide same-day appointments for urgent dental issues like infections or trauma during regular business hours with after-hours phone support.

My lovely dentist. Loving and caring. Firm when she needs to be. She's also equipped with the ozone, which I was used to from Europe and surprisingly it was quite hard to find a dentist who works with it here in Bay Area. I've been in her care for more than 5 years and have no issues with my teeth since then. I was very lucky to find her.

Finally a dentist who cares about my overall health and not just the teeth. Very pleased with the materials and equipment being used which are personally well researched by Dr Yesin. We know so little about the toxicity of some of the modern filling materials but I feel confident that in this office, I will get the best available.

My kids and I have been working with Dr. Yesin for years and we think shes great. I appreciate her focus on kids integrative care: rather than removing crowded teeth to make space she uses a method that guides the palate and teeth to grow more spaciously, retaining all the teeth and giving them beautiful smiles to boot. This is a gentler and more inexpensive alternative to what most orthodontists usually resort to. Shes kind and personable and we like working with her.

Avoid this dentist. Came here to have my teeth cleaned. During examination she removed one of my fillings!! Even chuckled while she did this. Caused me great pain and agony. I could not get a follow up appointment with her to have this addressed. One of her assistants was especially rude to me complaining of the quality of my teeth. Turns out I have a genetic condition that caused my decay but guess they are only use to clients with perfect teeth. Had to go to another dentist to get that tooth removed. Would never recommend.

This place is a joke. Dr. Yasin is nice but my experience with the office has been a nightmare. When I wanted to make an initial appointment it literally took me months to reach a front desk person. When I finally got my teeth scanned for Invisalign, I never heard from them that the results had returned. I called them and they were like "oh yeah, the results are ready, you should come in." Then they charged me for a $450 appointment that never happened. That was a YEAR ago. I've spent HOURS trying to chase these people down to fix the problem and always get the same "we&apos
