Where the dentist feels like family
Dr. Srijana Pokhrel opened Zen Dental Studio in 2018 to care for people the way she always wanted to. With real skill, the best technology, and the kind of warmth you would show a friend.
After years in other practices, Dr. Pokhrel wanted a place of her own. Somewhere kindness, honesty, and genuine care came first.
What began as one studio in San Francisco is now two, held to the same promise: careful, modern dentistry in calm spaces, from a team that treats you like family.
The things we care about most
Kindness first
You are a person to us, never a chart. We listen before we recommend, and we care for every patient the way we would care for a friend.
Honest, always
We tell you what we see and why, in plain language. What you decide is always yours.
Quietly modern
We invest in technology that makes care more precise and more gentle, so small things get caught early.
A sense of calm
Rooted in Dr. Pokhrel’s mindfulness practice, our studios are made to feel like a place to exhale.
We would rather show you than tell you
Good dentistry is more than a quick look and a clean. Here is what that means in practice.
Educators first
We explain what we see in plain language, so you can decide with the full picture in front of you.
Guided by the evidence
Our recommendations follow the latest ADA guidance, not guesswork or a sales script.
Better diagnostics
Modern tools give us precision that was not possible before. CBCT imaging, 3D scanning, and AI diagnostics help us find issues early and diagnose them with confidence.
Focused on long-term health
Our interest is always your long-term oral health. Areas that were not always considered important, like the health of your bite, get the attention they deserve here.
The patients who feel at home here
Our patients care about their oral health, and want more than a quick clean.
They value kindness, and offer it in return.
They love modern technology and calm, considered spaces.
Kindness, in our experience, tends to be met with kindness. That is the relationship we hope to build with you.
“My most memorable patients are the ones who genuinely cared about their oral health and were willing to work with me as a partner. Over the years, watching those improvements add up has been the favorite part of what I do. That is what I want for everyone who sits in our chair.”Dr. Srijana Pokhrel, Founder
Two studios. One standard of care.
We started in San Francisco. Before long, patients who were always moving between the city and the South Bay asked for a studio closer to home, and Mountain View followed. Two spaces now, held to the very same standard.
Small comforts, thought through
Good dentistry is the point. The details are just how we say welcome.
