Dr. Greg Polonsky

Dr. Polonsky was born in San Francisco to a family of immigrants from Ukraine and raised in the South Bay. His undergraduate education was completed at the University of California, Davis with a bachelor of science in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology along with a minor in Technology Management. There, he participated in research in molecular genetics as well as metabolomics, and received an ASBMB Certified Degree with Distinction. He then went on to earn my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry. Afterwards, he furthered his education and skills at a general practice residency at the University of California, San Francisco followed by an internship in oral and maxillofacial surgery back at UOP. At UOP, he won first place for my case report in clinical removable prosthodontics at the annual OKU-Sutro Excellence Day and published a paper at UCSF on Salivary Gland Dysfunction Secondary to Cancer Treatment where they looked at ways that cancer therapy affects patient’s oral health and what recommendations there are for the best treatment results. From working in the San Francisco community, he has learned to treat a broad range of patients, all with different oral healthcare needs. He believes that each patient requires individual care and attention and that he is there as a listener to help them achieve their ultimate goals. He is an active member of the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, and San Francisco Dental Society; always looking for ways to hone his skills and expertise with continuing education courses whenever possible. He strives to stay current with new technologies that are evolving within the dental field so that he may bring his patients the highest level of care that he can. When he is not in the office, he enjoys trying new food around the city and Bay Area, mountain biking, hiking, traveling, and discovering new music. He looks forward to meeting everyone and helping them with their dental care!
