“Comfortable”
I think this is the only time I can say, in my entire life, that I actually enjoyed going to the dentist! First off, the office is too cute. Everything is impeccably clean and has a charming ambiance. The dentist was so patient and kind, explaining everything to me in detail and giving me multiple options for treatment. I’ve also been in pain after teeth cleanings before, but she was so gentle that I felt absolutely great. She was committed to making sure I was comfortable and informed. Will absolutely be coming back!

Frequently Asked Questions
dOES YOUR OFFICE ACCEPT MY INSURANCE?
We are in-network with many major insurance plans and can help you navigate the insurance side of dentistry. Once you are scheduled, our office will check to confirm coverage.
how often should I go to the dentist?
The American Dental Association recommends dental visits once every 6 months. These routine exams are crucial for offering conservative treatment and preventing issues before they arise. We emphasize prevention to help you maintain the healthiest possible smile, though some patients may require more frequent visits based on their individual needs.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT MY FIRST APPOINTMENT?
The first visit is all about getting to know you and evaluating your oral health. We start off with an office tour, and then begin a thorough, comprehensive exam, which includes oral cancer screening, intra-oral and extra-oral exams, periodontal (gum health) measurements, and imaging (x-rays and photographs). Based on this data and our discussion of your dental concerns, we work with you to prioritize next steps in treatment to ensure a healthy, beautiful smile. Depending on each patient’s needs, we may or may not be able to complete a cleaning at the first visit.
How can I make an appointment?
For your convenience, you can schedule an appointment online (see link at top of page), via phone (CALL OR TEXT 925-409-3040), or email ([email protected]).
What if none of the available appointment times work for me?
If none of the available appointment times work with your schedule, give us a call or send us an email and we’ll make every effort to accommodate your needs with weekday evening hours and weekend hours.
are dental x-rays safe and necessary?
Dental radiographs allow for proper diagnosis and treatment of your teeth. They can detect cavities, bone loss, infections, and other anomalies. The radiation from dental x-rays is minimal, but we always weigh the risks against the benefits when recommending x-rays. Our office uses state-of-the-art digital sensors that produce high quality images with the lowest possible radiation dose. We also specialize in alternative, no-radiation intraoral imaging techniques, such as transillumination and fluorescence, to supplement x-rays.
