Javier Torres, DDS

I’ve been going here for almost a decade. Professional service, excellent staff. I recommend.

He is one of the two dentists I have been to here on Mission and he’s amazing.
Actually when he saw me many many years for a cleaning he predicted that I would need surgery to correct my bite. I had seen several other dentists but Dr. Torres saw my bite issues from the beginning without me asking any questions.
My orthodontic now and his assistants said to me that Dr. Torres is knowledgeable and must very good if he was able to analyze these issues which a few other dentists didn’t care mention or emphasize. Actually a dentist I had from my insurance removed teeth and in the years I saw her never even mentioned my issues were due to bite problems or guided me to seek a specialist (TMJ, open bite, etc).
Dr. Torres is very honest and I never received unexpected bills after any procedure like I did with my previous dentist.
They are straight forward from the beginning and you know exactly what you’re getting done, how much insurance pays and how much you will pay. Highly recommended!

Doctor Torres was able to find time for me in under 12 hours when I had a tooth emergency. When he saw me, he was patient, polite, pleasant, friendly, sympathetic.
And nobody cares, because the three things you actually check about on Unilocal:
1) It didn’t hurt at all,
2) He did a really good job, and
3) The price was reasonable
In particular, his needle work with my gums was excellent. I actually felt more pain from the cotton batting under my lip than I did from the needle.
I’m not a person who has had a ton of dental work, but I’ve had more than zero, and I recommend Dr. Torres without qualification.

I recently visited Dr. Torres for a routine check up, he is a very friendly man that did a thorough check on my teeth. Only one cavity this time, it’s okay haven’t had one in five years. His staff is wonderful, all very friendly!

Dr. Torres and staff are very nice, accommodating and professional. It means a lot when you have a dentist you feel is honest and trustworthy and has your best care in mind. Thanks guys!

His staff was fine, and the cleaning was great. but the consultation with Dr. Torres himself was very subpar. He took about 15 minutes just poking around in my mouth and refused to explain to me what he was doing even though I asked him twice. We just didn’t click. He kept trying to upsell me on more x-​rays and tons of fixes I wasn’t convinced I needed. Then came the annoying e-​mails from the front desk telling me I needed to come back – sent as an attachment in PDF that was using an impersonal template and had tons of typos. Clearly unprofessional.

I love these guys! The whole clinic is full of pleasant people and Dr. Torres is the best of them. I had my teeth cleaned there and after I had a deep cleaning. I recently got my braces taken off and my teeth are not very healthy and super sensitive. I told them I can’t handle pain anymore so they should use more anesthesia on me. I didn’t feel a thing!!! Thank you!
Will be back soon for fillings, 100% sure I’m in good hands!

The manager contacted me apologizing about my visit, shows how much they care about thier patients ever since then the staff has been great, especially over the phone. My appointment is the end of the month, a little nervous about my procedure but I am pretty sure everything would be great! Thanks Jessica!

I am still going to Dr. Torres’ office. Why? It’s because of him. First of all, he’s great at what he does. He’s not trying get me to do things that I don’t need. He practices preventative care. I know I am in good hands with him. Also, he’s an extremely warm human being, someone who deeply cares for his patients. I like going just to see him. In the last year, he’s brought on a dental hygienist, Jaime. I’ve never experienced teeth cleaning the way Jaime cleans teeth. He’s extremely meticulous about the way he uses his tools, so I’ve never felt any pain in the cleanings. Finally, I can’t say good enough things about the warmth front office and back office staff. This place is a hidden treasure in San Francisco.

Like most other normal human beings, I’ve always felt a building sense of dread as my dentist appointments near. However, after going to see Dr. Torres and his staff today, I feel completely different. Sure, it’s still the dentist and they’re scraping at your teeth and whatnot, but the staff is so wonderful that it’s more than bearable. My old dentist always seemed very busy and dismissive when I asked him questions, but Dr. Torres really took his time and was very present. The other staff were fantastic too, making me feel very comfortable even though it was my first time there and I had a major toothache. I learned so much about my teeth: information that no one else ever bothered to share. Plus, Michael Jackson was pumping through the office speakers… not too shabby. I’ll definitely be coming back here.
Bottom line: really thoughtful, kind and knowledgeable people putting their patients first. Go!

Dr. Torres and his group are really fun people to visit. I’ve never liked going to the dentist but I always look forward to coming here. His staff will definitely take care of your teeth. He explains everything and takes the time to listen. I am very happy with the service here.

I was suffering from a broken and infected molar and went to Dr. Torres for options. I called late on a thursday and although I was not a patient they gladly took me in. I decided to have him clean it out and fill it until I could decide what exactly I wanted to do with it. He did a great job however my tooth was so deeply infected that the procedure eventually irritated the infection making the pain unbearable. I immediately called Dr. Torres as he instructed me to do in the event of an emergency. He and his assistant Georgina came back immediately to remove my tooth. I arrived to his office around 9:35pm and left pain free just before Midnight. Although it was late Dr. Torres and his assistant Georgina treated me with the utmost care. The entire tooth extraction was painless. I went to Dr. Torres with overwhelming pain and I left being overwhelmed with gratitude to him and his amazing staff!

I feel very blessed to know Dr. Javier Torres.
Not only is he extremely competent, he is incredibly
kind, compassionate and very intuitive.
My friends have RAVED about his excellent dentistry, and his professional, caring and gentle manner.
We are lucky to have such a wonderful dentist and person here in SF.
Thank you Dr. Torres!

I LOVE Dr Torres. Hands down he is the most patient, best quality, and most affordable dentist you could want. He is efficient, super friendly, and really cares about you. I have spent about three years going to him, five crowns and so many cavaties – he has saved my whole mouth!
He is incredibly affordable and is willing to work with you if you need a payment plan which is rare.
