About Dentist Turlock - American Family Dentistry and Orthodontics
American Family Dentistry and Orthodontics is at 1520 Fulkerth Road in Turlock — on Fulkerth Road, one of Turlock's main east-west arterials, accessible from the surrounding residential communities in Stanislaus County's largest city. The practice name combines family dentistry and orthodontics in the same facility, offering both general dental maintenance and orthodontic correction to the Turlock and Central Valley patient community.
Orthodontics including braces and Invisalign alongside endodontics and oral surgery makes this Fulkerth Road practice significantly more comprehensive than a standard family dental office. Endodontics in-house covers root canal treatment within the established patient relationship, avoiding the specialist referral that most Turlock general practices require when a tooth needs root canal treatment. Oral surgery covers the extraction and alveolar surgical scope — from routine extractions through wisdom tooth removal and implant site preparation — that completes the tooth-loss management sequence without requiring a separate oral surgeon appointment in Modesto or Fresno.
Dental sealants for paediatric preventive care and children's dentistry are listed explicitly. Sealant application to first and second permanent molars at the time of eruption is among the most cost-effective preventive interventions in paediatric dentistry. A family practice with a paediatric preventive focus applies sealants systematically as part of each eligible child's recall schedule rather than treating sealant application as an elective add-on.
TMJ/TMD treatment and mouth guards address the functional occlusal conditions common in Turlock's working population. Sedation dentistry is available for anxiety management and complex appointment consolidation. Smile makeovers, veneers, and cosmetic dentistry cover the appearance-focused treatment range for the Turlock community.
For Turlock and Stanislaus County patients on Fulkerth Road who want a family dental practice with in-house orthodontics, endodontics, oral surgery, and paediatric care in a single Turlock location, the 1520 Fulkerth Road address provides that comprehensive household dental scope.
Here at American Family Dentistry, you’re not just a number. You’re part of our family. That’s why we strive to carry out what we promise to you when it comes to your oral health. What matters the most when you come into our office is your comfort. We understand that going to a dentist can be overwhelming, and we wanted to make sure your dental visit is pain-free and you’re completely relaxed during your treatment.

I’ve been coming to this office for over 20 years and I have never been disappointed. Very friendly team always willing to help. Love this place!
Best dentist ever!
The staff is very professional and personal. Dr. Chahal and the family business has always been exceptional. We have been seeing the practice for over 20 years. They are amazing!!
I’ve been going to American Family Dentistry and Orthodontics for over 14 years, and I can honestly say they’ve always provided amazing care. The staff is always kind, welcoming, and professional, and they make every visit comfortable and stress-free. The dentists and orthodontists take their time to explain everything and truly care about their patients. The office is always clean and organized, and they consistently provide great service. After 14 years of coming here, I highly recommend American Family Dentistry and Orthodontics to anyone looking for a trustworthy and friendly dental office!
Kayla and Dr. Paul are amazing! They made me feel super comfortable. I recommend this office to anyone that is afraid to visit the dentist. It is worth your time! They care about their patients greatly.
I hadn't been to the dentist in a couple of years because I was always nervous about going. My wife found the place and it had really good reviews. I went in and had cavities, they used a laser method which I didn't have to get numbed which was great. Dr. Chahal was great as I felt no pain and the experience was great overall. My family and I are glad we are coming here now. Would 100% recommend.
Steven is the one who always cleans my teeth, he does a wonderful job, also offers reasonable advice. Karen at reception also very sweet and pleasant. Ladies in the office are always welcoming and explain insurance coverages thoroughly. I drive two hours to come to this dental office, well worth it.
Steven was so kind, smart and explains any question with compassion . He does so great with his cleanings and ensures his work is nothing short of top notch care. I have a few cleanings already in his care but this is the first time I am leaving a review. If you have been putting a cleaning off , book with Steven, if you are feeling a little anxious, it’s okay-book with Steven.
Dr. Caseras was absolutely great. Very friendly, straightforward, and informative. I am not a fan of dentists but my experience here has definitely been very different than any other office I've been to. I highly recommend it for anyone!
I love coming to here at Family Dentisty my wife and I have been coming here for 5 years now and I love it. Dr. Paul is amazing and very professional always checks on me if I’m doing okay during a procedure or cleaning. The staff and high genius are amazing very friendly and always welcoming and I’m always satisfied with my cleanings and other procedures. They also just added the new laser technology which is amazing. I tried it for the first time for one of my feeling and I loved it. It was fast procedure and no pain at all, I was in and out within 25 minutes. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a new dentist. They also do Pediatric Dental and they have a specialist for that Dr. Gureet.
