Image Orthodontics has officially opened a new state-of-the-art office on Folsom Street in the Mission District. The clinic is led by Dr. Yan Kalika, DMD, MS, a highly respected orthodontist with over 20 years of experience in the Bay Area.
This new facility enhances Image Orthodontics’ capacity to deliver top-notch orthodontic and dental care. It features the latest technology designed to provide effective and comfortable treatments in a modern and inviting atmosphere. Dr. Kalika is recognized as an authority in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics and is an active member of several professional organizations, including the American Dental Association and the American Association of Orthodontists.
“Our new location is built on three key principles: providing exceptional orthodontic and pediatric dental care, ensuring accessibility by accepting most insurance plans—including Medi-Cal—and creating a patient-centered environment focused on comfort,” said Dr. Kalika.
The Mission clinic incorporates advanced AI-driven technologies and the latest innovations in orthodontics and pediatric dentistry. Dr. Ng and Dr. Daftari will join Dr. Kalika as skilled orthodontists at this location. Dr. Ng is known for her precision care, while Dr. Daftari is celebrated for her meticulous approach and commitment to patient comfort.
“The field of orthodontics is always changing, and each case is unique,” said Dr. Ng. “At Image Orthodontics, we are raising the standard of care in the Bay Area, building on a legacy of over 20 years.”
Dr. Daftari added, “Orthodontics demands both precision and compassion. I am dedicated to providing the highest level of care to help each patient achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.”
Accessibility is a fundamental aspect of the clinic’s mission. Monica Real, the office manager, stated, “We believe everyone should have access to quality orthodontic care, which is why we accept various insurance plans. Our goal is to make this neighborhood one of the happiest and most confident areas in San Francisco.”
In line with its commitment to innovation, Image Orthodontics commissioned Ukrainian designer Tatyana Denisenko to create the clinic’s interior. Denisenko explained that her designs focus on sustainable development and purposeful aesthetics. “I aimed to create a timeless space that feels cozy and comfortable,” she said, adding that she wanted patients to feel more like guests in a friend’s home than visitors in a medical facility.
With this new office, Image Orthodontics continues its mission to provide exceptional care while embracing modern technology and design principles.
