Pediatric dentist in Palo Alto, CA
Palo Alto is the community this practice was founded to serve in 1994, and it is still our largest family of families. Three decades later, many of the Palo Alto kids in our chairs are the children of children we once treated. That is not a marketing line; it is the reason the words "of Palo Alto" are in our name.
The original, not a franchise
The area has no shortage of new dental brands. We are the community practice that has served Palo Alto children since 1994, with the same founding principle: it is our privilege to care for people, not just teeth.
Conservative, evidence-based care
We stage every lesion, reach for prevention before the drill, and explain every trade-off so you decide with full information. Structure removed is gone forever, so we treat preservation as the default.
Special health care needs expertise
Thirty years of caring for children and adults with special health care and medical needs, backed by affiliations with Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and El Camino Hospital.
4.9 stars across 222+ Google reviews
Palo Alto parents talk to each other. Our reviews reflect decades of first visits, nervous kids won over, and families who stayed for two generations.
Rooted in Palo Alto since 1994
We know Palo Alto childhoods because we have watched thousands of them unfold: first teeth, first lost teeth, mouthguards for middle school sports seasons, wisdom-teeth conversations before college. Families come to us from every corner of the city, from Duveneck and Community Center to Ventura and Greenmeadow, and from the Stanford faculty and graduate housing communities.
Appointments are built for real Palo Alto schedules. We see patients Monday through Friday from 8am, which means checkups can happen before school drop-off or right after pickup, and our Sharon Park location lets you skip downtown traffic entirely.
