ME Dental, San Francisco

This review is from one experience, I have not seen ME Dental for more than that. The cleaning was all super smooth and straightforward, no qualms there. The neutral review is only because Dr. Moran said that I had 2-3 (can't remember exact number) cavities that needed to be addressed, which subsequent dentists did not find. Personally, I have developed a habit of always getting 2nd/3rd opinions on dental work, because I take really good care of my teeth. So I went to a 2nd dentist with the same X-rays from this office, and they didn't see any cavities. About a year later, I went to a 3rd dentist following an insurance change for a routine checkup and they also looked at the image and didn't see any. (Nor did they mention it at the exam, in which they did a pano image, rather than more bitewings.) To be clear, I am not a dentist or any kind of science person and am not suggesting otherwise - I acknowledge that multiple professionals can come away with different diagnoses. As well, I am not writing this with any negative emotion - it's been about a year and I didn't get the cavity work done, so it didn't affect me back then either. I am simply sharing my singular experience in this regard. UPDATE => later the day after I posted the above review, Dr. Moran reached out. She clarified that this is her policy, in her words: "My philosophy is to address something when it is small and early to avoid future dental work that may be more intensive." And she helpfully annotated imaging that clarifies the diagnoses she stands by. I hope this is helpful for folks to evaluate whether or not approach might best align with your expectations. Also, forgot to add, a 4th dentist online commented that a clinical exam is also an important part of making a diagnoses, in conjunction with the X-ray. When this dentist looked at just the X-ray, said: "you probably need to do one onlay in 44, and maybe change a filling in 15 and 45." (Note, Dr. Moran further responded and said that this dentist is using a different numbering system, and 15 maps to #5 and 45 maps to #29, and 44 is #28, and an onlay is a 3/4 crown.)

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Moran for several years now, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about her care. Most recently, Dr. Moran helped me address long-standing jaw issues related to teeth grinding and a collapsed bite. After careful evaluation and thoughtful discussion, we decided on veneers to restore proper bite height. The result has been genuinely life-changing. Chewing feels effortless now, and I experienced an immediate and lasting reduction in jaw tension and discomfort that I had been dealing with for years. What really sets Dr. Moran apart is not just her technical skill (which is exceptional), but the way she listens and explains things. She is incredibly thorough, meticulous, and detail-oriented, while also being warm, patient, and reassuring. I always feel heard, never rushed, and fully informed about my options. Dental work can be stressful, but Dr. Moran has a way of making the entire process feel calm and collaborative. I trust her completely and am extremely grateful for the care she’s provided. If you’re considering veneers or dealing with jaw pain or bite issues, I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

I recently called ME Dental in San Francisco to help my mother in law schedule an appointment and learn more about their veneers and payment options and the experience was great from start to finish. The front desk staff was incredibly polite, professional, and knowledgeable, they took the time to walk me through every detail about veneers costs, the treatment process, and available flexible payment plans. My mother in law lives alone in SF and she’s been wanting to restore her smile and confidence for a long time. The team at ME Dental made me feel better, entrusting their care for her. They explained how Dr Olivia (I think that is her name) customizes each veneer case to match natural teeth perfectly. I felt reassured, respected, and well informed throughout the entire conversation. Thanks to their kindness and expertise, we will be scheduling an appointment with them to begin her smile makeover journey. It’s refreshing to find a dental offices now a days that truly goes above and beyond for their patients.

Hands down the best dentist in SF! I have been living in SF for 10+ years and after many dentists I am so grateful to have found ME Dental. Olivia and her team are incredible, very thorough and do such a wonderful job. I have gone to her for everything including getting a crown, general cleanings and Invisalign. I feel so much more confident in my smile and never felt more beautiful on my wedding day!

I had a great experience at this office with Dr Moran. The entire staff was professional, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. I’m very happy with my treatments and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and friendly dentist!
