We've been a dental home for Lafayette children for years, and a good share of our new families arrive because another Lafayette parent sent them. Many are families whose child needed something a general dentist couldn't comfortably handle — a young toddler with early decay, a child with sensory sensitivities, or a treatment plan that called for sedation with an anesthesiologist in the room.
Most Lafayette families reach us in about 12 minutes. Highway 24 to I-680 north is the standard route, and the Ygnacio Valley Road exit puts you two turns from our door. Morning appointments and afternoons after 2 p.m. tend to be the smoothest for traffic.
Quite a lot. We're a pediatric specialty practice, so the pacing, the language, and the room itself are designed for children. When anxiety or treatment needs go beyond what behavior guidance can handle, we have a dental anesthesiologist on site rather than referring your child out to a hospital in another city.
Yes. Late-afternoon slots fill first with families coming from Lafayette and Orinda, so book those a few weeks out. If you can manage a morning appointment, you'll usually get your pick of times and a shorter drive.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first visit by the child's first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth appearing. That first visit is mostly about establishing a dental home and giving you guidance — it's short, low-key, and often happens with your child on your lap.
New patients from Lafayette are welcome. Call us or send a request and we'll find a time that works around school.
