Serving the East Bay

Pediatric Dentist Serving Pleasant Hill, CA

A short 10-minute drive from Pleasant Hill to our Walnut Creek office.

Pleasant Hill sits close enough that we're effectively a neighborhood practice for families here — most arrive in under ten minutes, and a checkup fits comfortably between morning drop-off and lunch. Tooth + Tongue is a pediatric specialty office: our dentist treats children exclusively, our anesthesiologist is on site rather than on call, and our evaluations look at airway and breathing alongside teeth. Families from Gregory Gardens, Poets Corner, and the neighborhoods around DVC have been with us through first teeth, first cavities, and first orthodontic consults.

Getting here from Pleasant Hill

From central Pleasant Hill, take Contra Costa Boulevard or Pleasant Hill Road south to I-680 south, then exit at Ygnacio Valley Road and head east to San Miguel Drive. If you're near the Pleasant Hill BART station or Gregory Gardens, Oak Park Boulevard to Pleasant Hill Road is a straightforward surface route that avoids the freeway entirely. We're near John Muir Medical Center, and the building has a free lot.

Neighborhoods we see most

Gregory Gardens, Poets Corner, Sherman Acres, downtown Pleasant Hill, Pleasant Hill Park, Rodgers Ranch, and families near Diablo Valley College, Valley View Middle and Pleasant Hill BART.

Because we're so close, Pleasant Hill families often become long-term patients — children who started with us as toddlers and are now coming in as teenagers. Proximity also makes a real difference when something goes wrong: a chipped tooth after a fall at Pleasant Hill Park doesn't require a cross-county drive.

Pleasant Hill parents ask us

Can I get to your office from Pleasant Hill without using the freeway?

Yes. Pleasant Hill Road south to Ygnacio Valley Road keeps you on surface streets the whole way and takes about the same time as I-680 during commute hours.

Do you have appointments that don't require pulling my child out of school?

We hold early-morning slots and some late-afternoon times specifically for this. Given how close Pleasant Hill is, an 8:30 a.m. appointment often means your child is only a few minutes late to first period, or not late at all.

What if my child needs a filling and won't cooperate?

This is routine for us rather than a problem. We start with behavior guidance techniques designed for children, and when that isn't enough, we have sedation options with a dental anesthesiologist present. Nothing gets decided without walking you through it first.

Do you take Denti-Cal?

Yes, we accept Medi-Cal Dental (Denti-Cal), along with Delta Dental and most major PPO plans. Call (925) 949-8427 with your plan details and we'll confirm coverage before your visit.

Book your child's visit

New patients from Pleasant Hill are welcome. Call us or send a request and we'll find a time that works around school.
