Services
Periodontal Maintenance
Ongoing gum health management following periodontal treatment. Our maintenance program includes regular cleanings, pocket depth measurements, and personalized oral hygiene guidance. This proactive approach prevents disease recurrence while monitoring bone and tissue health. Patients receive tailored recommendations for home care routines and risk factor management.
Dental Implants
Permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium posts anchored in the jawbone. We offer single implants, implant-supported bridges, and dentures. Our comprehensive approach includes bone grafting when needed to ensure proper implant placement and long-term success through guided bone regeneration techniques.
Bone Grafting
Surgical procedures to rebuild jawbone structure for implant placement or facial support. We utilize autogenous, allogenic, and synthetic grafting materials to restore bone volume. This includes ridge augmentation, sinus lifts, and socket preservation techniques to maintain facial aesthetics and dental function.
Periodontal Surgery
Advanced treatment for severe gum disease and cosmetic gum enhancement. Procedures include pocket reduction, gum grafting, and crown lengthening. Our surgical techniques focus on preserving tooth-supporting structures while improving gum aesthetics and reducing recession.
Pocket Reduction
Minimally invasive procedures to eliminate deep gum pockets that harbor bacteria. Through scaling, root planing, and guided tissue regeneration, we reduce pocket depths to prevent disease progression. This helps protect against bone loss while improving access for daily oral hygiene maintenance.

I was referred to SF Perio by my regular dentist five years ago. The first course of business was to re-build the bone for rear molars on both sides. The repair went flawlessly and I got to keep my teeth. For the past five years, I have been seeing them for regular cleainings. I find that the Doctors and staff are very professional, competent and NICE. I don't often write reviews but in the case I am happy to provide a strong recommendation.

I have nothing but good things to say. Ive had teeth extracted and implants put in and I would say the work and service have been excellent. From the receptionists to Melissa the treatment coordinator to Angelica and Jose the assistants to Dr. Olivares I felt at ease and knew I was in good hands. The office is very thorough and professional. Id highly recommend Dr. Olivares if you need any of her services.

Update 6/14/21 - final check today by Dr. Paquinelli after the implant crown was placed by my regular dentist last week. Dr. P said things are looking good and he'll see me again in a year to see how the gum is doing in one area. Really happy I stayed with this office for another implant, and really appreciate Dr. P's sincere care for the best possible outcome for my case. THANK YOU! Prior review below -
Dr. Pasquinelli did an amazing job for my 1st implant (front tooth) about 20yrs ago and it exceeded its expected lifespan. Since then, his office has grown but the same quality of service and

I booked an appointment specifically to have my new Zirconia implant checked. The office is full of friendly and cheerful people. At the appointment the Dentist had no idea what to look for so she didn't know how to critique my new Zirconia implant. The visit was a waste of time and a loss of $199.00. I am disappointed.

I came here on a recommendation from my dentist and am thrilled that they connected me with Dr. Olivares. Her practice prioritizes a holistic approach, which resonates with my lifestyle and values.
