Dental care in San Francisco — how UNO is different.
There are hundreds of dentists in SF. Here's an honest description of what makes UNO a fit for some patients — and not for others.
Who we're built for.
People who want a real consultation, not a 10-minute exam. People who care about how their smile looks, not just whether it works. People who hate dental marketing and prefer a written plan with prices. People who'd rather have one dentist for years than rotate through whoever's on duty.
Who we're not.
We're a fee-for-service PPO practice — we don't bill Medi-Cal or HMO plans. We're not the cheapest dental option in SF, and we don't try to be. We're also not a chain, so we can't open extra evening hours at peak demand.
What you can expect.
First visit: one hour with Dr. Amjad Kandar. Intraoral camera tour, digital X-rays, written estimate before any work begins, insurance verified in real time. Same-day emergencies held open every weekday. More about our approach →
