San Francisco, California · Family Dentistry
Come in, sit back, and let us take good care of you.
Tidemark Dental looks after San Francisco families from first tooth to full smile: general dentistry, cleanings, whitening and Invisalign, all under one quiet roof.
The Approach
A dental visit should be the least stressful thing in your week.
Most people arrive carrying something: an old memory, a chipped tooth they have been ignoring, a kid who does not want to open their mouth. Tidemark is built around that. Clear explanations, modern equipment, and a room designed to lower your shoulders before the chair goes back.
One practice for the whole family
Kids, parents and grandparents seen in the same place, so nobody is coordinating appointments across town.
Appointments that are not rushed
We plan visits with room to talk through what we find, what it means, and what you would like to do about it.
Nothing happens without a yes
You hear the options and the reasoning first. Treatment is a decision you make, not one you are handed.
Care We Provide
Four things, done properly.
We keep the list short on purpose. Everything here is care we do day in, day out for San Francisco families.
General Dentistry
Exams, fillings, and the everyday care that keeps small problems from becoming large ones. We tell you what we see and what, if anything, needs doing.
- Exams
- Fillings
- Ongoing care
Cleanings
A thorough professional clean and a straightforward conversation about what is working at home and what could be easier. Suitable for every age in the family.
- Hygiene
- Adults & kids
- Prevention
Whitening
Professional whitening, planned around your teeth rather than a one-size shade chart, so the result looks like you on a good day.
- Professional
- Shade planning
Invisalign
Clear aligners for teens and adults who would rather not wear brackets. We map the plan out first so you know what the sequence looks like before you start.
- Clear aligners
- Teens & adults
Not sure which one you need? The care page compares them side by side, or just say so in the form.

Common Questions
The things people ask before they book.
Do you see children as well as adults?
Yes. Tidemark is a family practice, so kids, teens and adults are all seen here. If you would like the whole family looked at, mention it in the form and we will try to arrange the appointments close together.
I have not been to a dentist in a long time. Is that a problem?
Not at all, and it is more common than you think. We start with a look and a conversation, no lecture. You will leave knowing where things stand and what your options are.
How do I know whether Invisalign is right for me?
That is what the first conversation is for. We assess whether clear aligners will get you where you want to go, explain what the sequence would involve, and give you a straight answer either way.
Can I book a cleaning and a whitening consultation together?
Tell us both in the form and we will work out the best way to arrange it when we confirm your time.
I get anxious at the dentist. What can you do?
Say so when you book. We build in extra time, explain each step before it happens, and stop whenever you want to stop. Plenty of our patients came to us for exactly this reason.
