Dr. Svetlana Yesin, DDS

Background

Dr. Svetlana Yesin was born and raised in Pervomaisk, in Ukraine's Nikolaev region, to parents who were both dental technicians. As a child, she spent countless hours in their lab watching crowns and dentures come to life, and it was there that her love of art, science, and helping people first took root. Becoming a dentist felt like an impossible dream at the time, so after finishing youth art school, she trained as a nurse, launching her career in healing.

In 1993, Svetlana and her family immigrated to the United States, settling in San Francisco, and the Bay Area has been home ever since. After earning her RN nursing license, she worked as a neurosurgery and orthopedics clinical nurse at UCSF Hospital.

That nursing experience sparked a deep interest in how oral health connects to whole-body wellness. She completed her pre-dental studies at San Francisco State University and was accepted into UCSF's School of Dentistry.

After graduating from UCSF in 2002, Dr. Yesin wasted no time seeking out mentors in holistic dental education, blending her formal training with the latest research in biological dentistry. She spent the next six years honing her craft at several modern dental offices before opening her own practice, Integrative Dentistry, in 2009, where she's devoted herself ever since to state-of-the-art, safe, and compassionate care.
