A small, family-owned practice in the East Bay where visits are gentle, unhurried, and built on people we've known for decades — and the ones we're just meeting.
From the cleaning you're due for to the work you've been putting off — we'll walk you through your options in plain language, with no pressure.
Routine exams and professional cleanings that keep small things small. Gentle hygienists, every six months.
Tooth-colored fillings and careful restorative care to repair decay and protect what's healthy.
Custom crowns and bridges that restore strength and bite when a tooth needs more than a filling.
Full and partial dentures fitted for comfort and a natural look — with adjustments until they feel right.
A long-lasting way to replace a missing tooth that looks, feels, and functions like your own.
Whitening and smile improvements when you want to feel a little more confident in your own grin.
We've been part of this community since 1989. That means we know our patients by name, remember their kids, and treat every visit like we're caring for our own family — because to us, you are.
We'll tell you what actually needs doing — and what can wait. Second opinions always welcome.
No conveyor belt. We take the time to make sure you're comfortable and understand what's happening.
From a child's first cleaning to a grandparent's new dentures, we look after the whole family.
Right in front of 99 Ranch at the Pacific East Mall — plenty of free parking and a short walk from El Cerrito Plaza BART.
