About Us

Evidence Based Dentistry is a small group dental practice in Menlo Park grounded in one principle: treatment decisions are guided by clinical evidence, not convention. Dr. Victoria Berezina and her team evaluates each patient individually, selecting the most conservative, tooth-sparing intervention supported by the literature. We also coordinate directly with specialists when complex restorative or surgical cases require multidisciplinary management. Our hygienists and Dr Berezina function as a single clinical unit; preventive visits serve as an ongoing diagnostic checkpoint and restorative treatment is informed by continuous hygiene-level surveillance. The result is care that prioritizes long-term tooth structure preservation alongside precise execution of aesthetic and functional outcomes when restorative needs arise.

Technology

Every restoration at Evidence Based Dentistry follows a single, end-to-end digital workflow — from initial digital impression through final cementation — with no design decisions outsourced to an external laboratory. Dr. Berezina designs each restoration in-house using CAD software, to a tolerance of one micron, and restorations are fabricated from biocompatible ceramics selected for both esthetics and clinically-proven biocompatibility. Digital X-ray sensors substantially reduce radiation exposure relative to film, and an electronic anesthesia delivery system enables single-tooth, site-specific anesthesia for less discomfort and reduced side effects, such as lip numbness.

Your Patient-Centered Dental Home

At Evidence Based Dentistry, we believe care works best when it's continuous, coordinated, and built around you. Drawing on the patient-centered medical home model used in primary care, we serve as your dental home: a consistent point of contact for your oral health, where your history, ongoing needs, and treatment goals are tracked over time.

This means closer coordination if you need to see a specialist for a root canal or oral surgery, clearer communication between visits, and a care plan that adapts as your needs change – all grounded in the same evidence-based, minimally invasive philosophy that shapes every treatment we recommend.

Our Services

We offer a comprehensive range of services grounded in evidence-based, minimally invasive dental care.

Digital Restoration Design

All dental restorations are designed in-house by Dr. Berezina using advanced computer-aided modeling.

Minimally Invasive Dentistry

We always use minimally invasive practices to conserve native tooth structure and minimize drilling.

Complex Care Coordination

For patients requiring specialist endodontic or oral surgical care, we work closely with our colleagues to optimize your pre-procedural dental hygiene, desired operative outcomes, and post-operative dental restoration for the most anatomically robust and esthetically pleasing results.

Preventive Care & Cleanings

Our hygienists are experts at incorporating deep cleanings and infrared intraoral laser therapy for promoting a healthy oral microenvironment via attention to periodontal health.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Our cosmetic dentistry approach is guided by a comprehensive evaluation of your oral anatomy, facial proportions, and tooth coloration, allowing us to achieve refined, natural-looking results that complement your individual features.

Invisalign

We offer clear aligner therapy for a straighter, more confident smile.

Office Policies & New Patients

New Patients: To help your first visit go smoothly, please email our office at and request a copy of our new patient intake forms. Please send these completed forms back to us via the above email address at your earliest convenience.

Cancellations & Scheduling: We ask for at least 48 hours' notice if you need to reschedule or cancel, so that time can be offered to another patient. Patients that either no-show for their appointments, or arrive more than 10 minutes late, will be charged a cancellation fee and will have to reschedule their appointment. If your preferred time isn't available, we're happy to add you to our wait list and will reach out as soon as an earlier opening comes up.
