I had a badly broken upper left front tooth. I called Kevin Barry DDS’s office and they took me for an emergency appointment that very afternoon. Kevin and his staff did an outstanding job of making, and placing a beautiful temporary cap. I get the permanent cap in two weeks.

Our Practice Stands Out For Exams and Cleanings in San Francisco

We aren’t just a dental office—we’re part of a dental destination. Our building is a hub for specialists, and we work closely with trusted periodontists, endodontists, and oral surgeons. When Dr. Barry refers a patient to a specialist, we personally walk them there—and they’re often seen the same day. This level of care sets us apart.

Inside our suite, you’ll find amenities designed for your comfort. We offer cozy blankets, a peaceful environment, and personal attention every step of the way. And unlike other offices, we respect your time. You won’t sit in the waiting room for long. We stay on schedule so you can get back to your day.

Absolutely! Here’s your section rewritten as a bullet list with full sentences:

The Benefits of Dental Exams and Cleanings

  • Patients rely on routine dental exams and cleanings in San Francisco to maintain strong, healthy teeth and gums.
  • Each visit helps prevent common issues like cavities, gum disease, and other oral health complications.
  • Our hygienist performs a detailed cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing often miss.
  • After cleaning, the dentist completes a comprehensive exam to check for decay, gum problems, bite issues, and other concerns.
  • Dr. Barry reviews any findings immediately and discusses your treatment options clearly and thoroughly.
  • Our team focuses on prevention and early intervention to help you avoid discomfort, reduce long-term costs, and keep your smile in great shape.

Exams and Cleanings in San Francisco for All Ages

Children

We help kids build strong oral hygiene habits from the start. Dr. Barry monitors tooth development and catches issues before they become more serious. Regular visits help us prevent cavities, guide proper alignment, and create a positive dental experience early on.

Teenagers

Teenagers experience big changes, and their dental needs shift just as quickly. Our exams detect issues like early signs of gum disease, the need for orthodontic care, or potential problems with wisdom teeth. These appointments give teenagers the tools and habits they need to care for their smiles for life.

Adults

Regular cleanings and exams protect against developing problems even if your teeth feel fine. The dentist checks for worn enamel, gum disease, and cavities. These appointments also allow us to screen for signs of more serious conditions, keeping your entire body healthier.

Seniors

As we age, oral health becomes even more important. Dr. Barry helps older adults manage dry mouth, sensitivity, and gum recession. We also maintain crowns, dentures, or bridges so your bite stays strong and comfortable. These visits reduce the risk of tooth loss and infection.

Our Technology and Services

We’ve invested in cutting-edge dental technology to make your care safer, faster, and more accurate. We use a CBCT scanner for detailed 3D imaging, an intraoral scanner for mess-free impressions, and laser dentistry for precise, gentle treatments.

Need financing? We accept CareCredit, making getting the care you need when you need it easier. Additionally, our multilingual team speaks Japanese and Spanish, so you can feel comfortable and properly informed.
