Meet the Dentist
Dr. Leo Arellano, DDS
Dr. Arellano earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the UCSF School of Dentistry in 1984. His training has continued for nearly four decades — periodontal surgery study through the University of the Pacific, and complete dentistry coursework with Dr. Peter Dawson and Dr. Frank Spear.
He is a member of the American Dental Association, the California State Dental Association, the San Francisco County Dental Association, and the San Francisco Study Club. The practice is the result of decades of careful, conservative dentistry delivered to a loyal patient base.

Technology With Purpose
Technology used for clarity, comfort, and better treatment planning.
We invest in tools that meaningfully improve diagnosis and patient experience — not for their own sake. Digital imaging gives a precise view of what's happening below the surface. LANAP laser therapy and the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique let us treat periodontal disease and recession less invasively than traditional surgery.
Digital imaging
Low-dose digital x-rays and advanced diagnostics for accurate planning.
LANAP laser therapy
Nd:YAG laser-certified treatment for moderate to advanced gum disease.
Pinhole Surgical Technique
Minimally invasive gum recession treatment, no scalpels or sutures.
Cosmetic & restorative planning
Diagnostic mock-ups before final restorations are made.
