Re: Expert cosmetic dentist
Claude Sidi has been my dentist for over 20 years, and is both an affordable and expert cosmetic dentist. Although I do not have veneers, I have seen the results of his work with other patients, and it is both meticulous and natural-looking. Dr. Sidi has done bonding on the tops of a couple of my teeth, as I have problems with wearing; you would never know by looking at them. I still commute to SF to see him and would not think of going to anyone else. Dr. Sidi's offices are located in the 450 Sutter building--an easy ride on BART to the Powell Street station with a nice 10-minute walk. Also, you won't meet a warmer or more interesting fellow; he's just a lovely person and his staff is exceptional. 415-391-9748. Sarah

Re: Highly skilled Dentist
I stand by my original posting under ''cosmetic dentistry'' (Nov. 2002)
Dr. Claude Sidi is the best dentist I have ever gone to (and I have been to many), and everyone I have ever referred to him agrees. And hey, if Sharon Stone sends her mother to him (and I'm sure she can send her mother to any dentist she likes), that is not such a bad recommendation, either! He is extremely competent on top of being a genuinely great human being. His office is in SF at 450 Sutter--just a 5-minute walk from BART/Powell Street station. The number is 415-391-9748. sarah

Re: Cosmetic dentistry
As it sounds as though you might not mind going into the city, I would highly recommend Dr. Claude Sidi, whose office is in the 450 Sutter building in SF. Although he has a general practice, cosmetic dentistry is his specialty. He has been my dentist for 14 years, and I still trek over to SF from Berkeley because I refuse to give him up. He is an absolute perfectionist, and as a result he does flawless work. (I think he really sees himself as an artist as much as he does a dentist; he is an amateur Impressionist painter on the side.) Claude has done bonding on my teeth due to wearing and chipping (unfortunately, I was blessed with very soft enamel) and has redone my numerous crowns, replacing them with porcelain ones to match my other teeth. Claude has formed a great relationship with the lab people in his building, and he frequently calls them in to help him with the matching process. I have also seen the results of the more extensive cosmetic work you are talking about; he is really tops in his field. My sense is that his prices are within the reasonable range. His phone number is 415-391-9748, and you can also check out his website: http://dentists.smileworks.com/Template5/default.asp?oID=12288=0=5=Claude+E%2E+Sidi%2C+DMD
Good luck. Sarah

I don't know if you are willing to travel to SF, but I have a great dentist downtown. After several dental horror stories, I was referred to him by a friend, and now almost look forward to my check ups. He is kind, gentle, does excellent work, and really makes me feel at ease. He always gives me all the options, making me feel comfortable with whatever I decide to do. His name is Claude Sidi, (415)391-9748.

Dr. Claude Sidi, in San Francisco at 450 Sutter. He is not inexpensive, but he and his long-term support staff are all very very good. I have very bad teeth and very bad TMJ, and he has kept teeth in my mouth and created very durable and beautiful facsimile teeth as necessary. I appreciate his honesty - he tells me when he cannot do something for me and provides excellent referrals for Oral surgeons in the same building. This is important becasue I have had bad dentists who are overconfident in their abilities and who try to up-sell their services. Dr. Sidi IS an expert with a very high skill level, but he is also very very honest and respectful. His office also has a GREAT view of the cityscape from the 18th floor. I discovered him 17 years ago on BPN and he is our family dentist. https://claudesidi.com/
I had a broken front tooth and got veneers front and center. I did have two done at once, because the dentist told me it would be difficult to do just one and have it match the other. I'm very happy with them. My dentist is Claude Sidi, in SF at 450 Sutter, Suite 1819, phone 415 391 9748. If you see him for a consult, I'm sure he will be honest and realistic with you about what he could do for you.
Claude Sidi, DDS. He's in SF at 450 Sutter (easily accessible by BART). He's been my dentist for over 20 years, and his work is impeccable. He's everything you are asking for - very, very careful, very knowledgeable, and the results are excellent. 415-391-9748. As a plus, his office is very well-run; staff are organized, friendly, efficient, and great at dealing with insurance issues.
