About Rodig Smile Design

Rodig Smile Design is a dental practice on Geer Road in Turlock, California. Periodontics is the specialty focused on the gums and the bone supporting the teeth, handling more advanced gum disease, related surgical treatment, and — in many practices — dental implant placement, which sits naturally alongside that training.

Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

What does a periodontist treat?
Periodontists focus on the gums and the bone supporting the teeth, handling more advanced gum disease and related surgical treatment, as well as placing implants in many practices.
Why do dentists take X-rays?
Decay between teeth and problems below the gumline are invisible to the naked eye, so X-rays are what reveal them. Modern digital images use a low dose and are taken only when clinically justified.

Referred by family member and was not disappointed with the service. Very clean office with nice staff. Called early morning and was given 2 cancellation apts (lucky for us) for that same day, very fast, efficient and kind service was given over the phone by receptionist Samantha. Followed by great service from Jean. She was very thorough with explaining the process from start to finish, very friendly and helped ease our nerves as she talked to us during the appointment. Jean made a lasting impression on us and we plan on continuing to visit Rodig Smile!

Sometimes dental issues can cause embarrassment and hesitation in dealing with the issues. I have never felt more comfortable and confident than with these great people. I can not recommend them enough.

My Husband and I have been with Rodig Smile Design for many years now. Mostly just all cleanings because they help keep our teeth in tip top shape. It's always a great experience, never had any problems at all to make us feel like not wanting to go to the Dentist. I highly recommend them!

I’ve had a wonderful experience having root canals, cleanings, and fillings done at Dr. Rodig’s office. All staff are amazing. I have had the pleasure of meeting Laura, Dr. Fields, Alex, and Kylie. They made me feel comfortable and took very good care of me. Highly recommend!!

Great staff and (even more importantly) honest with their assessments. I switched over to this dentist a few years ago after my previous dentist was mysteriously saying I had new cavities to fill just about every time I visited. Ever since I’ve been at Dr. Rodig’s I’ve received an honest review of my teeth and have not had any cavities filled since. They do great work!

Dr. Rodig is hands down the best dentist I’ve been to as an adult, helpful, kind, funny, and knowledgeable, he does his best to show you the right options for you. I’m nervous about dentistry work and I felt as comfortable as I could in here. I had to get a filling and it was honestly almost completely painless getting the numbing injection and that’s never happened before. I would suggest this office to anyone!
