Services
General Dentistry
General dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health through preventive and restorative treatments. Services include cleanings, fillings, crowns, and bridges to address decay, damage, or missing teeth. Our approach emphasizes long-term wellness and early intervention to avoid complex issues.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry improves the appearance of teeth through veneers, whitening, and bonding. We offer porcelain veneers for stain resistance and in-house bleaching with blue light activation. Custom solutions ensure natural aesthetics and patient satisfaction with their smile's appearance.
Invisalign
Invisalign provides a discreet orthodontic solution using clear aligners to straighten teeth. Custom-fitted trays gradually shift teeth into alignment over 12-18 months. The removable design allows normal eating and cleaning, with virtual invisibility during treatment.
Periodontics
Periodontics addresses gum disease and supporting structures with treatments like implants, grafts, and scaling. Dr. Cheng specializes in dental implants and bone grafting to restore oral health. Procedures focus on preserving teeth and preventing further tissue damage.
Dentures
Dentures replace missing teeth with removable partials or full sets. Options include metal-free Valplast partials and acrylic complete dentures. Custom fittings ensure comfort and functionality, restoring patients' ability to eat and speak confidently.

Ive happily been coming to Dr. Moran for at least 20 years. Hes the kindest man! He gently took care of my elderly mother as well. My husband enjoys coming to this practice as well. I enjoy Dr. Morans skills in cosmetic dentistry as well. His niece finished dental school and came to work for him a few years ago and shes lovely making this a family affair! Its always a pleasant experience to come to Sansome Dental.

Report
Went here recently after moving from Chicago to SF and someone recommended this place. Really impressed. Very thoughtful and attentive staff, they remembered little details about me and what we talked about on the phone. Easy enough to get appointments for me and my husband on short notice. Very transparent about my insurance and what I'd have to pay/process for reimbursement. Dr. Moran and everyone else was so friendly, gentle, answered all my questions, and fixed my chipped teeth up good as new. Gladly going back every six months from now on.

Both my husband and I have been going to Sansome Dental Care for almost 20 years. Throughout different employers, healthcare plans and changing circumstances we remain loyal. If we have to pay entirely out-of-pocket we do so - because they are wonderful. From the receptionist, to the hygienist, to the Doctors they provide excellent service & care. Always friendly and patient even when I have trouble remembering appointments and other personal failings that must be irksome. I recommend without reservation.
