Welcome to Rockridge Smiles: Home of the Healthy Smile.

We welcome you to our unique and thriving dental practice, where residents of Oakland, Berkeley, Piedmont and the greater East Bay Area come to smile. Your smiles are our business and our pleasure: smile makeovers, smile design, and smiles spurred by helping you to maintain healthy teeth in our comfortable, convivial office.

Though we love to smile and laugh, we’re very serious about what we do—providing high quality dental services in a safe and caring environment. We pride ourselves on being dentists who take a personal approach. Ours is a relationship-based dental practice: we get to know our patients well and always put their needs first. We work with them to carefully map out plans for dental services and procedures that will be in the best interests of both their dental and financial health. This patient-centered approach has resulted in a successful practice whose many loyal, smiling patients stick with us for our family-oriented atmosphere as much as for our expertise in dentistry. In one case, we’ve had four generations of the same family come to us for dental care! To learn more about each of us and why we love what we do, visit our Staff page.

We provide a full range of preventative, cosmetic, and restorative dental services. Click here to view them. Whether it’s a total smile makeover that you’re looking for or a regular fine tuning of your already impeccable dental health or something in between, we can help you. We believe in keeping up with the latest dental research and technological developments, and then adopt those which we feel will best serve our patients’ needs. It’s our view that being overly concerned with being on the “cutting edge” of every new dental technology misses the point: we don’t just incorporate the newest practices, we incorporate the best practices. Some of those may have been invented yesterday, and some have served the most successful dentists for decades. We encourage you to visit our Services page for a fuller sense of the dental services and procedures we offer.

Please explore our Web site to learn more about us, the dental services we can provide you, and the dental procedures in which we have expertise, and then get in touch by email or phone. For directions to our conveniently located office in the Rockridge neighborhood of North Oakland, see our Location page.

We look forward to hearing from you and to seeing your smile.
