STARTING OR RUNNING A PRACTICE IN SAN FRANCISCO

Starting and running a dental practice in San Francisco can be challenging. To help navigate the complex array of permits and requirements, San Francisco set up a Small Business Portal to provide resources and links to get you started.

We recommend starting with Start a Business > Starter Kits > Permit Locator (link) >  Healthcare (along left side) > Dentist Office.

Additional resources including Hiring, Tax information, and Building Permits are provided through the portal.
