Choosing a Dentist

March 10, 2010

There comes a time after moving to a new hood that you have to get settled.  For me, this means picking a dentist.  Luckily, I live in the Mish where there is a plethora of dental options all on the same block!

Mission Street’s Dental Dam:  This block on Mission between 20th and 21st houses dozens of dentists and more than one place to give you cavities (I’m looking at you La Quinta!)   Should I pick Gentle Dental?  Maybe Frank H. Chung?  It’s so hard to decide.  To me, dentistry is about aesthetics, so I have narrowed it down to two options.  Alejandro Arce, D.D.S. and the M.J. Bilafer Dental Corporation.

I'm on the fence about this one.

This dentist looks pretty legit.

Each of these places seem to cater to different crowds in the Mish:  A.A. to the tagged up Mission bar bathroom aesthetic and M.J. Corp. to the colorful, modern, corporate graphic designer style.  Which Mish smile should I choose?  I’m still torn!

Pi Bar and Flour+Water Getting Rusty

Dear Fancy Pizza Places of the Mish,

Don’t take this the wrong way, but I think you have a bit of redecorating to do.  I know you guys have probably been in business for years and years and haven’t noticed the subtle changes, but your signs have developed a LOT of rust.  (That tends to happen with iron in super-rainy places like the Mish.)

Maybe a new sign is in order.  Say, brushed aluminum this time?

Pi Bar's ancient Greek could use some sprucing up.

Iron + Water = Rust.
