Services
Invisalign at Anchor Dental offers a professional solution for teeth alignment without traditional braces. We start with an evaluation of your dental health, followed by digital modeling to design personalized aligners. The clear, smooth aligners are removable, promoting hygiene and convenience. Our dedicated team guides each patient through a tailored plan to achieve a straighter, more confident smile safely and effectively.
Anchor Dental delivers personalized preventive dentistry focused on long-term oral wellness. Our services include meticulous cleanings, examinations for decay or gum disease, and targeted recommendations for home care. Utilizing modern dental technology, we ensure precise assessments and early intervention, reducing the likelihood of more extensive treatments in the future while maintaining your smiles health and appearance.
Our restorative dentistry at Anchor Dental prioritizes precision, comfort, and durability. Using advanced digital imaging and high-quality materials, we customize crowns, bridges, inlays, and implant-supported restorations to fit your bite and oral health needs. Each procedure is conducted with attention to detail, ensuring a natural look, proper function, and long-lasting results that support your overall dental well-being.
Anchor Dental specializes in cosmetic dentistry procedures that enhance both the look and performance of your teeth. From in-office whitening to porcelain veneers and clear aligner therapy, our treatments correct issues like chips, stains, and misalignment. We prioritize individualized care and precision, ensuring that every smile we design meets the highest standards of aesthetics, comfort, and longevity for optimal patient satisfaction.
Our practice provides expert implant dentistry designed to rebuild smiles with lasting results. Through careful imaging and examination, we plan the optimal placement of titanium implants that fuse naturally with the jawbone. Once healing is complete, custom restorations are attached, ensuring that patients regain both the appearance and strength of natural teeth while maintaining proper jaw alignment.
Anchor Dental offers expert teeth whitening solutions that enhance your smile while protecting enamel. Our services include both in-office treatments for immediate improvement and take-home kits for gradual whitening. Every approach is supervised by our dentists and adapted to each patients unique needs. You can achieve noticeable results safely and maintain a naturally bright, healthy appearance over time.

Teeth cleaning was very good especially because my teeth and gums are very sensitive, and the dental practitioner did an excellent job as well as making me feel comfortable. Dr. Yener performed examination following cleaning and was very knowledgeable about my history and recommended to me various options for ongoing dental care.

Wonderful Doctor. I've been looking for a dentist in the San Francisco area and I feel very lucky to have found Dr. Yener. She used to be the instructor at Harvard Dental school teaching the craft of dentistry to those students. No wonder why she is so thorough and efficient at the same time. Highly recommended.

I have had the privilege of going to Anchor Dental and seeing all dentists here over the past 5 years. They display and execute consistent professionalism, precision, and compassion with an overall trusting and relaxed experience and environment. They are also accommodating, proactive, and exemplify sincere care and operational excellence for their patients. I always walk out from my appointments grateful and well taken care of.
