areas we serve
Pediatric dentist for Los Altos, CA families
Los Altos families have trusted this practice for over a generation, and many make the 15 to 20 minute drive right past closer offices. The reason is simple: they want a specialist relationship worth the trip, with a conservative philosophy that treats their child's tooth structure as irreplaceable.
Worth the trip, by design
Families who drive to us come for the philosophy: prevention before the drill, honest staging of every lesion, and a plan that spans the whole childhood.
One stop for every need
Preventive care, restorative dentistry, tongue-tie release, sedation from nitrous to IV, and hospital dentistry at Lucile Packard Children's. Los Altos families rarely need a second referral.
Special needs depth
Three decades of caring for children and adults with special health care needs, with visits built around your child: longer, staged, or desensitization appointments.
Reviews that travel
4.9 stars across 222+ Google reviews, many from Los Altos and Los Altos Hills parents who found us through a neighbor.
Serving Los Altos and Los Altos Hills
We see families from North Los Altos, Loyola Corners, Rancho, and up into Los Altos Hills. School-day logistics work well here: an 8am appointment gets most kids back to the Almond, Covington, or Egan school areas before morning recess, and afternoon visits fit after pickup.
For Los Altos parents comparing options: ask any practice how they decide when to drill. Our answer, staging, documented monitoring, and defined triggers for treatment, is on our approach page in plain language. Bring your questions; we like informed parents.

Common questions from Los Altos families
Is the drive from Los Altos really worth it?
Families who make it think so. They come for conservative, evidence-based care, a full range of comfort and sedation options, and a specialist who expects to know their child for years, not visits.
Do you offer early appointments for school days?
Yes. We see patients from 8am on weekdays, which lets most Los Altos kids get a checkup and still make it to school at a reasonable hour.
What if my child needs sedation or hospital care?
We offer the full spectrum in one practice: nitrous oxide, IV sedation, and hospital dentistry at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, so you are not bounced between providers.
