Member of the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, and San Francisco Dental Society. Graduate of the American Academy of Facial Esthetics. Top Invisalign® provider with hundreds of completed cases.
More about Dr. Kandar →Independent. Boutique. Held to one clinical standard — the kind of practice patients deserve, without the volume games of corporate dentistry.

Most major PPO plans — and a few you might not expect.
UNO accepts all PPO plans and runs three in-house affordability paths for everyone else — pick what fits, no judgment. We’ll walk you through every cost before any treatment begins.

01
In-house Membership
From $99.99/mo bi-annually ($599.94 every six months) or $200/mo month-to-month — unlimited cleanings, exams, full-mouth X-rays, 3D iTero scans, and at-home whitening trays, plus 10% off every other treatment we offer.
No deductibles, no annual maximums, no waiting periods, no claim forms. Cancel anytime after the initial six-month term. The smartest path if you don’t carry dental insurance — pays for itself after just one cleaning and one filling.

A real, unhurried exam
Your first visit is 60 minutes with Dr. Amjad — full exam, digital X-rays, oral-cancer screening, and a professional cleaning. You leave with a clear written plan and a real cost estimate before any treatment is scheduled.
Care that fits your life
Next-day crowns, evening Invisalign® check-ins, late appointments, and 0% financing through CareCredit and HFD. We work around your schedule — not the other way around.
Questions, answered.
Do you accept my insurance?
We accept United Concordia, GEHA Connection Dental Network, Guardian, Sun Life, Ameritas, UnitedHealthcare, Principal, Lincoln Financial, Cigna, Careington, Humana Dental, and Mutual of Omaha. If you're uninsured, ask about GleamBar — our in-house membership.

498 Jackson Street
Jackson Square, SF.
UNO DENTAL San Francisco sits inside the Jackson Square Historic District — original brick warehouses, tree-lined alleys, and a few of the city’s best food blocks. Loveski across the street, Cotogna a block over, Kokkari two blocks down. Steps from the rumored future home of Jony Ive’s new hardware studio with OpenAI (SF Chronicle).
