Our Services
Unique dental care experience in Vaksman Dental
Partial Dentures in South San Francisco
Vaksman Dental Group provides partial dentures service in South San Francisco for patients missing one or more teeth who want a removable tooth replacement option that supports chewing, speech, appearance, and long-term oral health.
Missing teeth can affect the way you eat, speak, smile, and feel in everyday situations. Partial dentures are custom removable dental appliances designed to replace some missing teeth while working with your remaining natural teeth.
Our dental team evaluates your teeth, gums, bite, missing tooth areas, and long-term oral health goals before recommending the right denture solution for your needs.
Dental Filling in South San Francisco
Vaksman Dental Group provides dental filling service in South San Francisco for patients with cavities, tooth sensitivity, minor chips, worn fillings, cracked fillings, and restorative dental needs.
A cavity or damaged filling should not be ignored. Tooth decay can start small, but it may become more painful and more complex to treat if it reaches deeper layers of the tooth. A dental filling can repair the affected area, restore tooth shape, and help protect your smile from further damage.
Our dental team evaluates your tooth, symptoms, bite, and overall oral health before recommending the right restorative option for your needs.
Gum Disease Treatment in South San Francisco
Vaksman Dental Group provides gum disease treatment service in South San Francisco for patients with bleeding gums, swollen gums, bad breath, gum recession, plaque buildup, tartar, and periodontal concerns.
Gum disease can begin quietly. In its early stage, called gingivitis, symptoms may be mild and easy to overlook. Without professional care, gum disease can progress into periodontitis, a more serious condition that affects the gums, bone, and tissues that support the teeth.
Our dental team evaluates your gums, teeth, plaque buildup, tartar, gum pockets, and oral health history to determine the stage of your condition and recommend a treatment plan based on your needs.
Nitrous Oxide in South San Francisco
Vaksman Dental Group provides nitrous oxide sedation service in South San Francisco for patients who feel anxious, nervous, or uncomfortable during dental visits. If dental anxiety, fear of treatment, or a strong gag reflex has made it difficult to keep up with care, our team can discuss whether nitrous oxide may be appropriate for your appointment.
Nitrous oxide, often called laughing gas, is a mild dental sedation option used to help patients feel calmer during treatment. It is inhaled through a small mask placed over the nose and is typically mixed with oxygen. Most patients remain awake, aware, and able to respond to the dental team during their visit.
Whether you are scheduling a dental cleaning, filling, crown, emergency dental visit, or another procedure, our team can review your health history, treatment needs, and comfort goals to determine whether nitrous oxide is a suitable option.
All on 4 dental implants in South San Francisco
All on 4 dental implants are a full-arch tooth replacement option that uses four dental implants to support a complete set of upper or lower replacement teeth. This treatment is often considered by patients who are missing most or all of their teeth, have failing teeth, or want a fixed alternative to removable dentures.
At Vaksman Dental Group in South San Francisco, we help patients explore personalized implant solutions designed around comfort, function, appearance, and long-term oral health. Every case begins with a detailed consultation to determine whether all on 4 dental implants are the right option for your gums, jawbone, bite, health history, and smile goals.
Vaksman Dental Group provides implant dentistry for patients in South San Francisco and nearby Bay Area communities, including Daly City, San Bruno, Millbrae, Brisbane, Pacifica, and San Mateo.
Periodontal Disease Treatment in South San Francisco
Vaksman Dental Group provides periodontal disease treatment service in South San Francisco for patients with bleeding gums, swollen gums, gum recession, loose teeth, persistent bad breath, gum infection, or signs of bone loss around the teeth.
Periodontal disease, also called gum disease, affects the gums and supporting structures around the teeth. In early stages, gums may become red, swollen, tender, or bleed when brushing or flossing. As the condition progresses, gum tissue can pull away from the teeth and form deeper pockets where bacteria and tartar can collect.
Our dental team evaluates your gums, teeth, bone support, oral hygiene, symptoms, and dental history to determine the right next step. The goal is to control infection, reduce inflammation, protect your teeth, and help you maintain healthier gums over time.
Tooth Extraction in South San Francisco
Vaksman Dental Group provides tooth extraction service in South San Francisco for patients with severe tooth pain, damaged teeth, infected teeth, loose teeth, impacted wisdom teeth, or urgent dental concerns that may require removal.
A tooth extraction is usually recommended only when a tooth cannot be predictably saved or when removing it is the best option for protecting your oral health. Whenever possible, our dental team evaluates whether the tooth can be restored with another treatment before recommending extraction.
If a tooth does need to be removed, we will explain your options clearly, help you understand what to expect, and create a treatment plan focused on comfort, safety, and long-term dental health.
Cosmetic Dentistry in South San Francisco
Vaksman Dental Group provides cosmetic dentistry services in South San Francisco for patients who want to improve the color, shape, balance, symmetry, and confidence of their smile.
Whether you are concerned about stained teeth, chipped teeth, gaps, worn edges, missing teeth, uneven tooth shape, older dental work, or mild spacing concerns, our dental team can help you explore cosmetic dentistry options designed around your smile goals and oral health needs.
Cosmetic dentistry is not only about appearance. A beautiful smile should also feel comfortable, function properly, and support long-term dental health. At Vaksman Dental Group, we evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, existing dental work, and facial features before recommending a personalized treatment plan.
This page gives you an overview of cosmetic dentistry as a complete smile-planning service. For detailed information about individual treatments, patients can visit the dedicated pages for services such as dental veneers, teeth whitening, Invisalign, dental crowns, dental implants, and dental bridges.
Wisdom Teeth Removal in South San Francisco
Vaksman Dental Group provides wisdom teeth removal service in South San Francisco for patients experiencing pain, swelling, jaw discomfort, gum irritation, infection, or problems caused by impacted wisdom teeth.
Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, are the last molars to develop. For some patients, they come in normally and do not cause problems. For others, wisdom teeth may become impacted, partially erupted, difficult to clean, or positioned in a way that affects nearby teeth and gums.
Our dental team evaluates your symptoms, oral health, tooth position, and X-rays to determine whether wisdom teeth removal may be recommended. If removal is appropriate, we explain your options clearly, answer your questions, and help you feel informed before treatment.
TMJ Treatment in South San Francisco
Vaksman Dental Group provides TMJ treatment service in South San Francisco for patients experiencing jaw pain, teeth grinding, clenching, headaches, facial tension, clicking sounds, bite discomfort, and difficulty chewing.
TMJ symptoms can affect more than your jaw. They may interfere with sleep, eating, speaking, and your ability to relax comfortably throughout the day. Some patients notice mild jaw clicking, while others experience recurring pain, morning headaches, tooth sensitivity, or visible signs of grinding.
At Vaksman Dental Group, our dental team evaluates your teeth, bite, jaw movement, muscle tenderness, and oral health history to help identify what may be contributing to your symptoms. From there, we recommend a personalized treatment plan designed to protect your teeth, support jaw comfort, and improve everyday function.

Professional Protection for Your Teeth

A dental mouth guard is custom-made by a dentist to fit your mouth comfortably and provide maximum protection.Root Canal
Root Canal Specialist
If you are experiencing severe tooth pain, it is important to seek immediate dental care as it may be a sign of an underlying dental issue that requires prompt attention. One such issue that can cause significant pain is an infected or damaged tooth root, which may require a root canal procedure to treat. While the idea of such a procedure may cause some anxiety or fear, it is a common and highly effective treatment option for saving a damaged tooth and alleviating pain. The alternative option of treating the canals is to do nothing or extract the tooth, both of which will leave you toothless. Remember, you only have one set of adult teeth, which you need to eat, so you want to care for your teeth to the greatest extent possible.Cavities
No one likes hearing that they have cavities. But when you do get them, you need to act fast before it becomes more serious and more painful. Vaksman Dental Group is a practice committed to providing complete cavity solutions to ensure a healthy smile and mouth. We don’t just provide standard cavity cleaning, we also provide corrective solutions for continuing health.
Our solutions include porcelain fillings, composite fillings, as well as inlays and onlays. Our dentist will work with you closely to give you the best dental solution for your needs. We’ll help you ensure that your teeth stay healthy and free of cavities and other damages.
Don't Let Cavities Ruin Your Smile: Prevention and Treatment Tips
Dental cavities, also known as tooth decay or dental caries, are probably the most common dental issues. Cavities occur when bacteria in the mouth produce acids that attack your tooth enamel. Over time, this acid erosion causes destruction and even holes in the teeth. Besides destroying the beauty of your smile, cavities unfortunately also lead to pain, sensitivity, and other oral health problems. If left untreated, cavities usually get worse and will eventually require a root canal. They can even potentially lead to tooth loss. Do you experience any pain or notice spots on your teeth that shouldn’t be there? It is important to see a dentist as soon as possible. A dentist will diagnose the problem by examining the teeth and sometimes using dental X-rays to confirm the diagnosis. Do not hesitate to contact a dentist for cavities before it gets too bad.Dental Crowns

Dentures
When many of your teeth are loose or painful, they may, unfortunately, be beyond saving. This condition is usually caused by advanced periodontal disease. And if you are not a good candidate for implants, then removing your teeth and replacing them with dentures may be the best way to eliminate the infection, restore the health of your mouth, and allow you to eat again. Periodontal disease causes bone loss, and bone if you don't catch it in time there will be very little structural support for the teeth. So, the dentist will have to remove them.
At Vaksman Dental Group, we understand the impact that missing teeth can have on your daily life. They can affect your ability to speak clearly, enjoy your favorite foods, and feel confident in social situations. We believe that everyone deserves a smile they can be proud of. Let us help you regain your smile and confidence with our high-quality dentures that are custom-crafted to fit your unique needs.

What our happy patients say about us.
Jorge M.
Very professional, always helpful and smiling even early morning.
I've had Bernadette, Dr Wolfson and a few other people of their staff taking care of me and always felt they were doing everything to my best interest.
Of course they offer from time to time additional services but I never felt pressured to anything. I'm very happy and I'll keep going there as long as they offer the same quality. Thank you team, very good job !

The staff was wonderful. I went in for a cleaning, and they made sure it was a smooth, painless process. I am happy to say I found a new dentist as a recent transplant to SF. I am really happy with their practice. Dr. L'ebo is wonderful and so was her staff.
