Family Services
When you step into West Portal Dental Care in San Francisco, CA, you'll know you've found the perfect place for your family's care.

Children's Dentistry
Helping our youngest patients grow into healthy young adults is a highlight for our team. Children undergo constant growth and development from infancy to their teen years that present unique challenges for an optimal outcome. It is at this time that we can identify and treat growth-related diseases that affect future oral health, phonetics, and overall health, setting them up for success in their adult years. We also know how important early childhood experiences are to creating a lifelong positive association with going to the dentist, and take our responsibility very seriously.
Adult's Dentistry
Sometimes dental problems follow otherwise healthy people through life. Understanding the causes of dental disease can eliminate the frustration that builds as teeth deteriorate. As we age, medical comobordities often lead to sudden changes in oral health as well. Creating a customized preventive routine can leave you looking forward to good news at your dental visits. We are also wheelchair accessible and have an elevator for those who are mobility impaired.
OrthoDONTICS
Metal grins fill the pages of many high school yearbooks. But braces offer benefits at many different stages of life. Identifying problems at an early age often allows ideal timing in orthodontic treatment, resulting in a perfect outcome. Monitoring growth and development at your child's regular preventive visits is just part of our commitment to your family's dental health.
Sealants
Deep crevices run across the chewing surface of molars. Even though a toothbrush can skim across these surfaces, the narrow grooves trap bacteria beyond the bristles. Cavities may form and end up abscessing without warning, destroying valuable tooth structure. Protecting the grooves with a bonded sealer might be worth exploring.
