Snug Dental

Snug Dental is a children’s dental and anesthesiology practice based in San Jose, California, focused on making essential dental care safer, more comfortable, and accessible for young patients. Its team combines pediatric dentistry with general anesthesia, helping children who need extensive treatment, have special needs, feel anxious, or find it difficult to sit through a regular appointment. Services include preventive care, checkups and cleanings, and restorative treatment, with sedation available when appropriate.

Board-certified anesthesiologist Michael Mellenthin, MD, provides anesthesia care, while general dentist Beverly Yamasaki, DDS, is known for her compassionate, patient-centered approach. The practice aims to reduce stress for children and give parents confidence that necessary care is being delivered with attention to safety and comfort. Snug Dental works to maximize insurance benefits and accepts Medi-Cal (Denti-Cal), helping make covered preventive and necessary treatments more affordable.

The office also offers family resources, including pre- and post-operative instructions, first-visit forms, and information for referring providers
