Our Orthodontist San Jose office is located on Berryessa Road, right off the 680 behind the Safeway shopping center. Our practice uses the most current appliances making orthodontics more comfortable and shortening treatment times. Computer terminals at each treatment chair allow Dr. Rene Yabar to view complete treatment records and images with a click of a mouse. Patients’ records are available immediately when needed for consultation with our patients or their dentist. The majority of our staff at this location speaks Spanish and because we are credentialed with most insurance plans including denti-cal, Image Orthodontics can offer patients deep discounts on their orthodontic treatments.
