A neighborhood pediatric dentist for Fair Oaks families

Fair Oaks runs from the Fair Oaks Village shopping district along Sunrise Boulevard down toward the American River, with neighborhoods spread across Old Fair Oaks, Fair Oaks Ranch, the area along Madison Avenue, and the bluffs above the river. Our office is four miles south, an eight-to-twelve-minute drive depending on Sunrise Boulevard traffic.

For families near Fair Oaks Park and the village, the drive is straight down Sunrise Boulevard. For families on the western side near Fair Oaks Boulevard and Madison, the route is south on Fair Oaks Boulevard then east on Sunrise. For families on the river bluffs near the Fair Oaks Bridge, the drive uses Sunrise Boulevard south.

Fair Oaks is a community where many families have lived for two or three generations, and the dental decisions get made through neighborhood word of mouth as much as Google. We see that pattern reflected in our Fair Oaks patient population: most come in on a referral from another Fair Oaks family.

Fair Oaks has one of the more active youth sports cultures in the area, with leagues running through Fair Oaks Park, the youth soccer associations, and the high school programs. Mouthguards are a frequent conversation topic in late summer for fall sports and again in late winter for spring sports.

We make custom-fitted mouthguards that protect against tooth fractures, root injuries, and lip lacerations substantially better than boil-and-bite alternatives. The impression is quick, the turnaround is about a week, and parents who have had a child experience a sports-related dental injury once usually upgrade to custom for every following season.

For kids who already have a sports injury, we offer same-day emergency care for chipped teeth, knocked-out teeth, and soft-tissue injuries. Quick action in the first hour after a knocked-out permanent tooth substantially improves the chance of saving it, so our number is worth saving in your phone.
