Dr. Michael L. Rosenthal, graduated from the University of Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco and went on to complete a one year general practice residency with the Veterans Administration Hospital in Milwaukee Wisconsin. He then joined the teaching staff at UOP Dental School. During that time he established Dentistry By Design of Marin a family oriented dental practice in Novato.
A comprehensive dental exam will be performed by Dr. Rosenthal or Anand at your initial dental visit. Examination of diagnostic x-rays (radiographs): essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss. X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions. Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues and gums for any signs of oral cancer.
A composite (tooth colored) filling is used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks, fractures, etc. The decayed or affected portion of the tooth will be removed and then filled with a composite filling. There are many types of filling materials available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

I have been going to Dentistry by Design for many years, and am so happy with their care. Both dentists are wonderful, professional and expert in their field. It is always a pleasure to visit their office and have their care over the years. Staff, each one, plus Kathy, Susie, Wende, Mary are so very helpful and professional. It is a privilege to have their compassionate and wonderful care. I would recommended them! Super dental care!

A very nice helpful group of people who do their best to accommodate you in time of need. Dr. Rosenthal is the best dentist I have ever had. I have not been seen by any of the other dentists at Dentristy by Design but I'm sure they are very good too.

I am a long time patient of Dentistry By Design. I have never been disappointed. Everyone is very professional, and they have the latest equipment. During this time of Covid I really appreciate the safety protocols they have in place.

Best dentist I've ever been to. I used to not like going to dentists because I'm dental-phobic (if that's a term) but I've had a perfect experience with Dr. Anand the years I've been going there. He is the best and his staff is also top notch and friendly. I couldn't recommend them more.

I used to hate going to the dentist, almost PTSD like. Now I sometimes fall asleep in the chair. It blows me away! This office, Dr. Anand, the office staff, the hygienists are just the nicest, most accommodating dental staff I have ever come across. They seem to specialize, or at least are masters at, people who are squeamish about the dentist. They are friendly and I feel like I am getting excellent care there.

Dr. Anand has been seeing my family for 15 or more years. He is very pleasant and cooperative. His cleaners are the best?
