Get a glimpse at our dental treatments.
Our focus on prevention helps keep your child's smile healthy and bright. We offer comprehensive exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants to protect your child's teeth from decay. Our team also provides personalized oral hygiene instructions to empower your child to maintain their dental health at home.
When cavities occur, we're here to help. Our restorative treatments, including tooth-colored fillings, are designed to repair damage and prevent further decay. We use the latest techniques and materials to ensure your child's comfort and the longevity of the restoration.
Our Solea laser allows us to perform many procedures without anesthesia, making treatments quicker, more comfortable, and less intimidating for children. From cavity preparation to soft tissue procedures, laser dentistry offers a gentler approach to dental care.
If your child experiences dental anxiety or requires extensive treatment, we offer nitrous oxide. This safe sedation option allows your child to relax in the dental chair and wears off a few minutes after. It's safe, effective, and we typically only recommend it if other alternative behavior techniques aren't effective.
Understanding that some children have unique requirements, we foster comfortable, stress-free visits for children with special needs, addressing both their dental health and emotional well-being. Our dedicated team has extensive experience and specialized training in creating positive and enriching dental experiences for children who face various physical, behavioral, and developmental challenges. We are here for you, every step of the way.
Dental emergencies can be scary, but we're here to help. We offer same-day appointments for urgent dental issues, ensuring your child receives prompt, compassionate care when they need it most. If your child has a knocked-out tooth, severe tooth pain, infection, or if you're unsure if your child is having an emergency, give us a call. We're here to help.

Altarinda Road is a school street before it is anything else. The Orinda Union School District keeps its office at 8 Altarinda Road, a few doors from ours at number 3, inside the John Muir Health building.
The town's name reaches further back. Orinda comes from Katherine Fowler Philips, a 17th century poet her admirers called the Matchless Orinda. Four Mexican ranchos, then a railroad summer town, then a suburb shaped by the Caldecott Tunnel in 1937 and rebuilt since, in 1964 and again in 2013.
The Orinda Theatre opened in 1941. It still anchors Theatre Square, down Orinda Way from the Orinda Library at 26 Orinda Way and Orinda Community Park at 28 Orinda Way. We serve families across Lamorinda, from Orinda, Lafayette, and Moraga, who cross that tunnel in both directions to reach us.

The Caldecott Tunnel is the trip. When an incident closes a bore on Highway 24, traffic can back up about 9 miles, toward Acalanes Road. Know your side of town before you set out. Our office is on the Village side of Orinda, not the Theatre District side. On a tunnel morning, leave a real buffer or call us and we will make it work.
Orinda BART parking fills on weekdays, a point BART itself makes to riders. Driving families have Theatre Square's underground garage, where parking is validated, as the dependable alternative near the Village. If your plan depends on a BART lot space on a weekday morning, have a second plan.
The same California oral health assessment, due by May 31 of the first public school year, with the check done up to 12 months ahead. What differs here is the return address. Orinda families file through Orinda Union, and our Lafayette and Moraga families through their own districts, all in Contra Costa County, not Alameda County. Bring the form to your visit and we will complete it for your district.
If this will be your child's first time with us, here is what to expect at a first visit.
This office serves Orinda Union, Lafayette, and Moraga school district families.
For a dental emergency in office hours, call us first at 925-253-8190 and we will tell you what to do. If a tooth has been knocked out, or there is swelling and it is after hours, hospital emergency care is close: John Muir Health in Walnut Creek and UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in Oakland both see children.
Questions before your visit? Call us at 925-253-8190.

Have questions? We have answers!
We suggest scheduling your child's initial dental appointment by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth erupts. This follows the guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. Early visits promote good oral hygiene habits and can help prevent future issues.
We may suggest fluoride treatments if necessary as recommended by the AAPD. For children who cannot spit, we apply a light coating of fluoridated toothpaste, and for those who can, we use a pea-sized amount. This method helps prevent cavities and strengthens teeth against decay.
We typically recommend check-ups every six months, but we may suggest more frequent visits based on your child's individual needs. We'll collaborate with you to establish the best schedule that fits your child's needs and lifestyle.
In the event of a dental emergency for your child, such as a lost tooth or severe tooth pain, contact our office immediately. We prioritize urgent cases and will provide guidance on the next steps. Acting quickly can often save a tooth and alleviate pain.
