What we do

Everything your smile needs, in one familiar place

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.

Checkups & cleanings

Routine exams and professional cleanings that keep small things small. Gentle hygienists, every six months.

Fillings & restorative

Tooth-colored fillings and careful restorative care to repair decay and protect what's healthy.

Crowns & bridges

Custom crowns and bridges that restore strength and bite when a tooth needs more than a filling.

Dentures

Full and partial dentures fitted for comfort and a natural look — with adjustments until they feel right.

Dental implants

A long-lasting way to replace a missing tooth that looks, feels, and functions like your own.

Cosmetic & whitening

Whitening and smile improvements when you want to feel a little more confident in your own grin.

Who we are

A true mom-and-pop dental office

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.

Honest recommendations

We'll tell you what actually needs doing — and what can wait. Second opinions always welcome.

Gentle, unhurried care

No conveyor belt. We take the time to make sure you're comfortable and understand what's happening.

All ages, all stages

From a child's first cleaning to a grandparent's new dentures, we look after the whole family.

Easy to get to

Right in front of 99 Ranch at the Pacific East Mall — plenty of free parking and a short walk from El Cerrito Plaza BART.
