Dr. Suzie Yang

Dr. Suzie Yang grew up in the SF Bay Area and was drawn to dentistry as a child — she used to ask her elders what they would do differently in life, and, much of the time, the answer was: “take better care of my teeth.” This led Dr. Yang to be passionate about dentistry. Dr. Yang did her undergraduate studies at UC Santa Cruz before attending the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry at the University of the Pacific in San Francisco. After dental school, she stayed in the Bay Area because of the diversity and strong school system. Before joining Total Health Dental Care in 2020, Dr. Yang owner her own dental practice in downtown San Francisco for 14 years. In 2011 she was voted “best dentist” in San Francisco in the San Francisco Bay Guardian magazine! Dr. Yang has nearly 20 years of dental experience, focusing on individualized care and taking pride in delivering painless, high-quality dentistry. She empowers her patients by educating them and offering various treatment options so they can choose what is best for their health. When she’s not practicing dentistry with Total Health Dental Care, Dr. Yang enjoys surfing, snowboarding and being a parent.

Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?

I believe that my patients deserve the best dentistry possible and that patient experience is key to my success as a doctor. I’m dedicated to making sure each of my patients feels relaxed, comfortable and confident in the treatment. To that goal, I enjoy explaining each diagnosis and encourage my patients to ask any questions they may have. I also strive to empower my patients with the knowledge to take control of their health. I focus on prevention and use nutrition as a tool to help patients overcome long-term dental issues such as gum disease, loss of teeth and cavities. I love people and seek to develop lasting professional relationships with my patients.

What are the top 3 treatments that you focus on?

At Total Health, we do everything under one roof. Our team of specialists do everything from periodontal treatments to oral surgery, orthodontic and implants.

What are you proud of in your practice?

I am proud of the excellent dentistry and exceptional experience we provide. Our patients rave about us on Yelp and Google. It’s fulfilling to see a new patient come in with some level of anxiety and leave feeling 100% comfortable with and confident in the cleaning or treatment. Our patients leave feeling good about themselves. They leave smiling.

Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

Since dentistry is a combination of science and art, every case is fulfilling. I really love helping people. It’s an incredible feeling to see a patient smile with confidence and genuine happiness after an office visit.
