Dentistry that fits between the commute and the trailhead.
Turtle Rock households juggle Uni High, UCI and Concordia calendars, Bommer Canyon weekends and a commute up Culver. Here's how we make the dentist the easy part.
7 am starts, before the Culver crawl
Tuesday–Thursday we open at 7. Be seen, grab a coffee, and still make first period at Uni High or a 9 am at UCI.
Parents & teens, back-to-back
Book your high schooler and yourself in one block, one drive down University Drive instead of two afternoons.
Sports mouthguards for Trojans
Custom-fit guards for University High athletes, plus night guards for grinders.
Same-day emergencies
A chipped tooth on the Bommer Canyon trail or a Saturday toothache, call and we'll hold time for you.

From Uni High to lifelong residents.
One office for the Uni High junior getting a mouthguard, the UCI grad student on a campus plan, the commuter with a 7 am slot, and the longtime resident who wants a dentist who remembers their name.
Close to home, and it feels like it.
We're a small, independent practice, the same faces every visit, and a team that remembers your name and which show you were halfway through.
