Highland Dental of Hayward

4.9(563)·1.1 km from Hayward Downtown
93Smyleee

1372, A Street, Upper B Street, Hayward, California

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 9 AM

Documented for pediatric dentistry in Hayward, with 24 services including Bruxism and Affordable Dental Care.

Read full description

<p>Highland Dental of Hayward is at 1372 A Street in the Upper B Street neighbourhood — a few blocks from downtown Hayward, near the intersection of A Street and B Street at the edge of the city's downtown grid. The practice explicitly accommodates working patients through extended scheduling: evening appointments, early morning slots, and Saturday availability are all offered. For Hayward patients who cannot take time off during standard business hours, access to pre-work, post-work, and weekend dentistry removes a scheduling barrier that causes otherwise motivated patients to defer appointments.</p> <p>CAD/CAM dental restorations allow crowns, inlays, and onlays to be designed and milled chairside from a digital scan — eliminating the two-visit protocol that impression-and-laboratory fabrication requires. At Highland Dental, a crown that used to require a temporary restoration and a return appointment can be completed in a single extended session. This matters particularly for patients whose extended-hours scheduling is itself constrained — working a Saturday appointment into a weekend schedule is more feasible when it accomplishes what used to require two weekday absences.</p> <p>Bone grafting is listed alongside dental implants, covering the pre-implant ridge preparation cases where alveolar bone volume is insufficient for direct placement. Sinus lifts and ridge augmentation before implant surgery are the most common bone grafting applications in a general practice; having grafting and subsequent implant placement at the same address maintains continuity through a multi-stage surgical process. Oral surgery and oral cancer screening round out the surgical and surveillance capabilities.</p> <p>Orthodontics and Invisalign cover alignment correction for adults and adolescents. Bruxism management — including occlusal evaluation and custom guard fabrication — is listed alongside CAD/CAM restorations, a coherent pairing since nocturnal grinding patterns drive many of the crown failures that bring bruxism patients to restorative dentistry. Sedation dentistry is available for anxiety management and complex procedure consolidation.</p> <p>Paediatric dentistry alongside adult services means the A Street address serves the household dental relationship for Hayward families. For downtown Hayward patients who need evening, early morning, or Saturday appointments — with CAD/CAM same-session crowns, bone grafting, and extended surgical capability — the Upper B Street location at 1372 A Street covers that access and clinical breadth.</p>

Hayward Dental Arts

4.9(382)·2.4 km from Hayward Downtown
92Smyleee

2, 24901, Santa Clara Street, Harder-Tennyson, Hayward, California

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 9 AM

Invisalign focus on this Hayward profile — lists Bone Grafting and Dental Bridges among 23 documented services.

Read full description

<p>Hayward Dental Arts is at suite 2, 24901 Santa Clara Street in Hayward's Harder-Tennyson neighbourhood — a commercial and residential area in the southwestern part of the city near the Union City border. Santa Clara Street at this location connects the practice to southern Hayward and the Tennyson Road corridor, accessible from residents of both southern Hayward and northern Union City.</p> <p>The service scope at this address is unusually comprehensive for a general dental practice. Maxillofacial surgery is listed — which in a general practice typically indicates an affiliated or consulting oral and maxillofacial surgeon who handles reconstructive and trauma cases beyond standard oral surgery scope. Periodontal surgery is listed separately from gum disease treatment, indicating active surgical periodontology capability: osseous surgery, flap procedures, and surgical correction of periodontal defects in patients who have not responded adequately to non-surgical therapy.</p> <p>Oral cancer screening is explicitly included — an important clinical service in Hayward's diverse community where tobacco use rates and HPV-related oral cancer risk factors make regular mucosal surveillance clinically relevant. Early-stage oral cancer detected at visual and tactile examination has a five-year survival rate that is dramatically higher than late-stage presentation, making routine screening a meaningful component of the annual dental visit. Bone grafting is listed alongside dental implants, covering pre-implant ridge preparation cases where alveolar bone volume is insufficient for direct implant placement.</p> <p>Full mouth rehabilitation is within scope — combining periodontal, restorative, prosthetic, and surgical procedures in a sequenced plan for patients presenting with extensive disease burden or restorative failure across multiple teeth. Endodontics, standard extractions, and emergency dentistry cover the acute care range. Invisalign for alignment correction and smile makeovers for combined cosmetic-restorative cases address the esthetic needs of the Harder-Tennyson patient population.</p> <p>For Hayward and Union City patients on the Santa Clara Street corridor who need a general practice capable of managing periodontal surgical cases, implant surgery with bone grafting, oral cancer surveillance, and complex restorative work in-house, the suite 2 address at 24901 Santa Clara covers that clinical depth in southern Hayward.</p>

Grovehill Family Dental

4.8(92)·1.9 km from Hayward Downtown
85Smyleee

SUITE E, 21471, Foothill Boulevard, North Hayward, Hayward, California

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 9 AM

Hayward practice known for invisalign, with Dental Crowns and Affordable Dental Care among 14 documented procedures.

Read full description

<p>Grovehill Family Dental is at suite E, 21471 Foothill Boulevard in North Hayward — a neighbourhood on the northern edge of the city near the Hayward Hills foothills, accessible from Foothill Boulevard, one of the main east-west arterials connecting central Hayward toward the Union City boundary. The practice positions itself around digital dental technology, specifically citing digital radiography as a clinical tool that reduces radiation exposure compared to traditional film radiography while providing immediate high-resolution images that can be magnified, contrast-adjusted, and shared with specialists without the delay of film processing.</p> <p>Digital radiography is not simply a convenience upgrade — it changes the clinical workflow meaningfully. The reduction in radiation exposure is approximately 70-80% compared to conventional film, which matters most for patients who require more frequent radiographic monitoring: those with active caries, periodontal disease, or implant follow-up protocols. Immediate image availability means the dentist can review radiographs on-screen with the patient during the same appointment, turning a diagnostic image into an educational tool that explains what is happening in areas of the mouth the patient cannot otherwise visualise.</p> <p>Cosmetic dentistry at this address includes porcelain veneers and teeth whitening. Invisalign for adult orthodontic cases provides an alignment option for North Hayward patients who want to correct crowding or spacing without fixed appliances. For patients who want to improve their smile without committing to full veneer cases, whitening represents a low-intervention entry point that can be completed in one or two appointments.</p> <p>Dental implants, crown and bridge restorations, dentures, and root canal treatment cover the restorative and prosthetic range. Gum disease treatment addresses the periodontal reality in a general practice — prophylaxis, scaling, and periodontal maintenance for patients with a history of attachment loss. Family dental care and general dentistry provide the preventive backbone of the service offering.</p> <p>For North Hayward and Hayward Hills patients on the Foothill Boulevard corridor who want a family-oriented general practice with digital radiographic infrastructure and a full restorative service range — including implants, Invisalign, and cosmetic options — the suite E address at 21471 Foothill covers that combination in the northern part of the city.</p>

A Street Dental

5.0(34)·669 m from Hayward Downtown
84Smyleee

713, A Street, Hayward, California

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 9 AM

Documented for porcelain veneers in Hayward, with 11 services including Dental Crowns and Dentures.

Read full description

<p>A Street Dental is at 713 A Street in downtown Hayward — within walking distance of the Hayward BART station and accessible from the surrounding Mission and downtown residential neighbourhoods. The practice is led by Dr. Quynh Tonnu and serves the diverse Hayward community from a transit-accessible downtown address that removes the car-dependency that limits access to many suburban dental offices.</p> <p>NightLase is listed as a distinct service — a laser-based treatment for snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnea that is uncommon in general dental practices. NightLase uses an Nd:YAG laser delivered intraorally to tighten the soft palate and uvular tissue through photothermal collagen remodelling. The thermal effect contracts existing collagen fibres and stimulates new collagen formation, reducing the palatal laxity that causes vibratory snoring and, in mild OSA, contributes to airway collapse during sleep. The procedure is non-invasive, requires no anaesthesia, and is typically completed over three treatment sessions.</p> <p>Sleep apnea treatment is also listed as a separate service — likely oral appliance therapy using mandibular advancement devices for patients with mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea needing a positional airway intervention. Having both NightLase (for snoring and very mild OSA) and mandibular advancement devices (for mild-to-moderate OSA requiring more active airway management) at the same address gives Dr. Tonnu's practice a more complete non-CPAP sleep dentistry toolkit than is typical in general dental offices.</p> <p>Oral cancer screening at downtown Hayward provides clinical value in a community context where tobacco use and other risk factors are statistically higher than in more affluent Bay Area cities. Integrating visual and tactile mucosal examination into the routine appointment — for patients who may not otherwise access head and neck cancer screenings — provides early detection value that is disproportionate to the time required for the examination.</p> <p>General dentistry, root canal treatment, dentures, veneers, and mouth guards round out the service profile. Custom mouth guards for bruxism prevention or sports protection are a high-value preventive service at any general practice. For downtown Hayward patients who commute via BART or live in the surrounding Mission district and want a practice with laser sleep treatment, oral cancer surveillance, and core restorative services, A Street Dental's transit-adjacent address covers that clinical combination.</p>

Jupina Dental: Joan Jupina, DDS

4.7(87)·2.9 km from Hayward Downtown
78Smyleee

101, 24700, Calaroga Avenue, Southgate, Hayward, California

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 8:30 AM

Sedation Dentistry focus on this Hayward profile — lists General Dentistry and Sedation Dentistry among 2 documented services.

Read full description

<p>Jupina Dental is at suite 101, 24700 Calaroga Avenue in Hayward's Southgate neighbourhood — a residential area in the western part of the city near the Hayward Hills foothills and not far from the California State University East Bay campus. Calaroga Avenue at this address connects the practice to the Southgate community and surrounding residential streets. Dr. Joan Jupina, DDS leads the practice as a single-practitioner general dental office.</p> <p>In a single-practitioner practice, the dentist who conducts the initial examination is the same clinician who places the filling, manages the gum disease, and handles any acute dental concerns that arise between recall appointments. This clinical continuity differs structurally from larger group practices where care is distributed across multiple providers — the ongoing relationship allows the dentist to build a comprehensive understanding of a patient's dental history, risk factors, and treatment preferences over multiple years rather than treating each appointment in relative isolation.</p> <p>Sedation dentistry is explicitly listed at Jupina Dental — which in a general practice context means oral sedation or nitrous oxide analgesia, or a combination. Dental anxiety is one of the most common reasons patients defer necessary care, and its clinical consequences are well-documented: patients who avoid dentistry due to anxiety present at eventually unavoidable emergency appointments with more advanced disease than those who maintain preventive recall schedules. A general practice that offers sedation access removes the barrier for patients who want to maintain their dental health but find appointments physiologically stressful.</p> <p>Sedation also serves patients who want to consolidate multiple procedures into a single appointment — combining cleaning, fillings, and any additional restorative work in one session rather than multiple separate visits. For working adults in the Southgate neighbourhood managing time constraints, a sedation-facilitated consolidated appointment can accomplish what would otherwise require two or three separate bookings.</p> <p>General dentistry at this address covers the full preventive and restorative range: comprehensive examinations, radiographs, prophylaxis, fillings, and maintenance recall. For Hayward Southgate patients — particularly those managing dental anxiety that has previously led to deferred care — Dr. Jupina's suite 101 address on Calaroga Avenue provides a sedation-capable general dentistry option in a neighbourhood-accessible location near Cal State East Bay.</p>

Uppal Dental Care

4.2(25)·4.1 km from Hayward Downtown
68Smyleee

STE 4, 1191, West Tennyson Road, Harder-Tennyson, Hayward, California

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 10 AM

Hayward clinic with a invisalign specialty across 14 documented services including Braces and Affordable Dental Care.

Read full description

<p>Uppal Dental Care is at suite 4, 1191 West Tennyson Road in Hayward's Harder-Tennyson neighbourhood — a commercial corridor running parallel to Mission Boulevard that connects to the Union City border at Alvarado-Niles Road. West Tennyson Road at this address is accessible from the surrounding residential communities of southern Hayward and from across the Union City boundary, making the practice convenient for patients on both sides of the municipal line.</p> <p>Smile makeovers at this address mean sequenced cosmetic and restorative work planned to improve the overall appearance of the smile rather than addressing individual teeth in isolation. The planning phase of a smile makeover involves evaluating tooth shade, shape, size relationships, gum symmetry, and lip support — factors that determine whether a given patient's goals will be achieved by whitening alone, or whether bonding, veneers, or crown work are necessary, or whether orthodontic alignment must precede cosmetic work to achieve a stable and long-lasting esthetic result.</p> <p>Dental implants and dentures cover the prosthetic range — from single-tooth replacement through full arch restoration. For patients in the Harder-Tennyson area who have experienced tooth loss, the choice between implants and conventional removable prosthetics involves factors of alveolar bone volume, systemic health status, cost, and patient preference. Having both options at the same practice means the clinical recommendation can be made without a predetermined bias toward whichever single modality the practice offers.</p> <p>Root canal treatment in-house removes the specialist referral step for the most common indication for acute dental pain and infection management. In communities where multi-step specialist referrals can result in treatment delays — or where patients fail to follow through on referral appointments — in-house endodontics provides the tooth with treatment at the appointment where the diagnosis is made, preventing the progression from reversible pulpitis to irreversible necrosis during a referral waiting period.</p> <p>Braces and Invisalign cover orthodontic cases from traditional fixed appliances through aligner-based adult treatment. Wisdom tooth removal, cosmetic dentistry, bridges, and crowns round out the clinical scope. For Harder-Tennyson and southern Hayward patients on West Tennyson Road who want a general practice managing orthodontics, prosthetics, and endodontics without specialist referrals, the suite 4 address at 1191 West Tennyson provides that coverage.</p>

How to Choose a Dentist in Hayward

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated July 15, 2026Independently reviewed

Hayward sits at the geographic heart of the East Bay — a city of roughly 160,000 between Oakland and Fremont on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, at the junction of BART's green and orange lines and the I-880/I-92 interchange that makes it one of the Bay Area's most transit-accessible mid-size cities. The city's demographic profile is among the most diverse in the East Bay: large Hispanic, Filipino, and Afghan communities in the central and west Hayward flatlands, alongside the professional and educational workforce from California State University East Bay on the Hayward Hills. The dental market in Hayward reflects that diversity — a mix of Denti-Cal-participating practices serving the insured lower-income patient community and mid-market general practices along Mission Boulevard, Jackson Street, and the Southland Mall corridor.

Smyleee evaluated Hayward dental clinics on practitioner credentials, multilingual team capability, Denti-Cal and commercial insurance billing range, new patient accessibility, and clinical outcome consistency across preventive and restorative dental care. These ten practices are the Hayward dental clinics the data confirmed as most reliably serving the full demographic and economic range of the East Bay's most diverse mid-size city.
