Image Orthodontics has announced the opening of its new, state-of-the-art facility located on Folsom Street in San Francisco’s Mission District. The clinic is headed by Dr. Yan Kalika, a highly regarded orthodontist with over 20 years of experience in the field. This new location enhances the practice’s ability to offer top-quality orthodontic and dental care, utilizing the latest technology for effective and comfortable treatments. With Dr. Kalika’s expertise and commitment to patient care, the clinic aims to provide more individuals with access to advanced services in a modern and welcoming setting.
Dr. Kalika, who holds a DMD and MS, is recognized as an authority in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. He is an active member of several professional organizations, including the American Dental Association and the American Association of Orthodontists.
“Our new Folsom Street 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,” Dr. Kalika stated. He emphasized that the clinic’s design is inspired by contemporary aesthetics, aiming to create a sustainable and inviting space where patients feel at ease.
Situated at 2595 Folsom St., the clinic features advanced AI-driven technologies alongside the latest innovations in orthodontics and pediatric dentistry. Dr. Wilson Ng and Dr. Noosha Daftary will join Dr. Kalika as skilled orthodontists at this new location. Dr. Ng has worked closely with Dr. Kalika for many years, mastering the high standards of care for which he is known. He is dedicated to providing personalized attention to each patient. Dr. Daftary is recognized for her meticulous care and commitment to creating a positive environment for all patients.
Dr. Ng expressed his enthusiasm about joining Image Orthodontics: “I am committed to offering patients advanced, accessible, and comfortable treatments. The field of orthodontics is always evolving, and each case is unique. At Image Orthodontics, we are raising the standard of care in the Bay Area.”
Dr. Daftary added, “Orthodontics requires both precision and compassion, and I am dedicated to providing the highest level of care for our patients.”
Accessibility remains a core mission for the new clinic. Monica Real, office manager at Image Orthodontics, stated, “We believe everyone deserves superior orthodontic care, which is why we accept a wide range of insurance plans. From children to seniors, every patient deserves a healthy smile.”
The clinic’s interior was designed by internationally acclaimed Ukrainian designer Tatyana Denisenko, who focused on sustainable development and purposeful design. “I wanted to create a space that feels timeless and relevant,” Denisenko said. She designed a cozy waiting area that fosters warmth and friendliness, making patients feel like guests in a friend’s home rather than visitors in a medical facility.
The new Folsom Street location embodies Image Orthodontics’ mission to provide exceptional dental care through innovative technology while ensuring that everyone can achieve a healthy and beautiful smile.
