General dentist, aligners and family care
Dr. Priya Raman, DDS
“Nobody should feel embarrassed walking in. My job is to make the next step feel small.”
Background
Dr. Raman studied at the University of the Pacific's Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco and completed a general practice residency at a community hospital in Oakland. She is a Diamond-level Invisalign provider and has planned more than 900 clear aligner cases.
She is especially drawn to preventive care and to patients who have avoided the dentist for years. Her appointments start with conversation, not instruments, and she has a gift for explaining treatment options without pressure. Families often book back to back with her so parents and children are seen together.
Outside the studio: Priya is learning ceramics in the Mission, which she says has made her even more particular about tooth shapes.
