Closing soon · 12 PM
Orthodontics focus in Oakland, with dental implants listed among 17 documented services.
Read full descriptionHide
<p>Dragon Dental is at 1808 Franklin Street in Downtown Oakland — on the Franklin Street corridor in the northern part of the downtown grid near the 19th Street BART station. The practice is multi-doctor, with Drs. Joyce Tse, Tiffany Tse, Aisha Saradi, Eric Cheung, and Semi Lim providing care at this address. The practice has served the San Francisco Bay Area — including Oakland, Alameda, and Piedmont patients — for over 20 years.</p>
<p>CAD/CAM dental restorations are listed — chairside digital crown milling that allows same-session crown fabrication from a digital scan. For the downtown Oakland professional and commuter population using the 19th Street BART station, a same-session crown eliminates the two-appointment protocol that impression-and-laboratory fabrication requires. Dental sealants are on the service list — fissure sealant application to the occlusal surfaces of first and second permanent molars is one of the most cost-effective preventive interventions in dentistry for reducing caries risk in newly erupted molars during adolescence.</p>
<p>Periodontics is listed as a distinct service alongside periodontal care — indicating that the practice manages active periodontal disease treatment beyond routine maintenance. Scaling and root planing, and supportive periodontal maintenance on an accelerated schedule, are within scope. In the diverse downtown Oakland patient population, managing periodontal disease in-house avoids the referral step to a periodontist that can delay treatment across multiple scheduling cycles for patients who are not comfortable navigating separate specialist relationships.</p>
<p>Sedation dentistry is available for anxiety management and procedure consolidation. Emergency dentistry covers acute presentations for both existing patients and new patients in the downtown corridor. Orthodontics including braces and Invisalign cover the alignment correction range for adults and adolescents. Wisdom tooth removal and cosmetic dentistry including veneers complete the clinical scope.</p>
<p>For Oakland, Alameda, and Piedmont patients at the Franklin Street downtown corridor who want a multi-doctor practice with 20 years of Bay Area experience, CAD/CAM restorations, and in-house periodontic management — accessible from the 19th Street BART station — Dragon Dental's 1808 Franklin Street address covers that clinical combination.</p>

<p>Total Health Dental Care is in Oakland's Temescal neighbourhood — a district in northern Oakland near the Berkeley border that has emerged as one of the East Bay's most active food, arts, and progressive community hubs. The practice applies a "holistic-fusion" clinical approach: integrating conventional evidence-based dentistry with a whole-person health framework that considers the oral-systemic connection, uses organic and biocompatible materials, and avoids mercury-containing dental amalgam entirely.</p>
<p>Mercury-free fillings are a specific practice commitment. Dental amalgam — the silver-coloured filling material that has been standard in dentistry for over 150 years — contains approximately 50% mercury by weight in its set form. While regulatory bodies have maintained amalgam safety for most patients, a significant and growing patient cohort prefers not to have mercury-containing materials placed, either due to environmental sensitivity, biologically-minded wellness preferences, or simple preference for tooth-coloured composite restorations. A practice that has committed to mercury-free materials provides this assurance as a standing policy rather than a case-by-case consideration.</p>
<p>Gum grafting is listed as a specific service — soft tissue grafting for gingival recession correction. Gum grafts (connective tissue grafts, free gingival grafts, or pedicle grafts) are performed when recession has exposed root surfaces, causing thermal sensitivity, root caries vulnerability, and esthetic concerns. At a holistic practice, gum grafting decisions integrate with the same whole-person framework that guides all other treatment recommendations at this Temescal address.</p>
<p>CAD/CAM dental restorations allow same-session crown fabrication in all-ceramic biocompatible materials. Sleep apnea treatment via oral appliance fits the integrative health orientation — addressing systemic sleep-disordered breathing through the dental relationship. Orthodontics including braces and Invisalign, endodontics, and emergency dentistry complete the clinical range.</p>
<p>For Temescal, north Oakland, and Berkeley-adjacent patients who want a dental practice committed to mercury-free materials, biocompatible approaches, and whole-person health framing — combined with CAD/CAM technology and comprehensive restorative scope — Total Health Dental Care's Temescal address provides that distinctive clinical orientation in the progressive north Oakland neighbourhood.</p>

<p>Uptown Dental is at 1701 San Pablo Avenue in Oakland's Uptown neighbourhood — on the San Pablo Avenue corridor in the arts and cultural district that runs through northern downtown Oakland. The Uptown district has developed as a hub for Oakland's arts scene with concert venues, restaurants, and a mix of residential and commercial development that characterises this part of the city. Dr. Christopher Thomas, DDS leads the practice from this San Pablo address.</p>
<p>NightLase is a listed service at this Uptown Oakland address — a laser-based treatment for snoring and mild sleep apnea using photothermal collagen remodelling of the soft palate. The Nd:YAG laser is delivered intraorally and tightens palatal tissue by contracting existing collagen fibres and stimulating new collagen deposition, reducing the tissue laxity that causes vibratory snoring and, in mild cases, contributes to airway collapse during sleep. NightLase is completed over three sessions without anaesthesia, with effects persisting for approximately 12-14 months before retreatment. For Uptown Oakland patients with snoring that disrupts sleep — their own or a partner's — the non-invasive laser approach provides a lower-commitment alternative to CPAP or mandibular advancement device therapy.</p>
<p>Maxillofacial surgery is on the service list alongside general dentistry — indicating either an affiliated surgeon or in-practice capability for jaw-level procedures beyond routine extractions. At a general dental practice, maxillofacial surgery listing covers complex impacted teeth, jaw cysts, and surgical biopsy of jaw lesions that require surgical expertise above the standard oral surgery level that most general dentists maintain.</p>
<p>Dental implants, crown and bridge restorations, and dentures cover the tooth replacement range. Extractions, dental fillings, and general dentistry provide the restorative and preventive foundation. Teeth whitening and veneers address the cosmetic demand of the Uptown arts and professional community.</p>
<p>For San Pablo Avenue patients in the Uptown, Lake Merritt, and downtown Oakland communities who want a general practice with NightLase sleep treatment, maxillofacial surgical capability, and core restorative services in an accessible Uptown location, Dr. Thomas's 1701 San Pablo address covers that combination.</p>

<p>Advanced Dental Concepts of Oakland is at 1708 Franklin Street in Downtown Oakland — a block from the civic and commercial centre near the 19th Street BART station. Franklin Street at the 1700 block is in the northern part of downtown, accessible from BART transit and from the Uptown, Grand Lake, and residential communities north of downtown. The practice has served the Oakland community for over a decade from this location.</p>
<p>CAD/CAM dental restorations are listed — chairside digital crown milling that eliminates the two-visit impression-and-laboratory protocol. CAD/CAM at a downtown Oakland address is meaningful for the transit-connected professional population: a crown that can be designed, milled, and cemented in a single extended appointment removes the need for a temporary restoration and a return visit. For commuters using the 19th Street BART station who factor appointment number into their dental care decisions, a same-session crown changes the calculus significantly.</p>
<p>Periodontal surgery is listed alongside routine periodontal care — indicating active surgical periodontology beyond non-surgical scaling and root planing. Periodontal surgery covers osseous surgery, flap procedures, and guided tissue regeneration for patients whose attachment loss has not been controlled by non-surgical management alone. TMJ/TMD treatment addresses jaw dysfunction and bite irregularity cases involving more than occlusal guard therapy — including comprehensive occlusal analysis and functional assessment for patients with persistent jaw pain or headaches of dental origin.</p>
<p>Oral surgery and wisdom tooth removal cover the extraction range from straightforward removals to impacted third molar surgery. Sedation dentistry is available for procedure consolidation or anxiety management. Orthodontics alongside Invisalign covers the alignment correction range for adults and adolescents in downtown Oakland. Emergency dentistry handles same-day acute cases.</p>
<p>For Oakland residents and downtown commuters on Franklin Street who want a general practice with CAD/CAM same-session restorations, periodontal surgical capability, and TMJ assessment — accessible from BART — the 1708 Franklin address provides that clinical combination with over a decade of presence in the downtown Oakland community.</p>

How to Choose a Dentist in Oakland - California
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
Oakland is the East Bay's largest city — a community of roughly 440,000 on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay that is simultaneously one of the Bay Area's most economically diverse cities and one of its most rapidly gentrifying. The dental implant market in Oakland reflects that duality: the established Black, Hispanic, and Asian working-class communities in the Fruitvale, Eastmont, and San Antonio districts, who access the UCSF-affiliated and FQHC dental programs at Medi-Cal rates; and the rapidly growing tech-adjacent professional community in Rockridge, Temescal, and the Uptown corridor, who expect the same implant quality standard as the San Francisco market at a slightly more accessible Oakland price point. UCSF School of Dentistry's training influence on the Oakland dental market is significant — many of the East Bay's best-credentialled practices are UCSF graduate-owned.
Smyleee evaluated Oakland dental implant providers on specialist credentials and UCSF or equivalent training, CBCT surgical planning protocol, implant system quality, Medi-Cal and commercial insurance billing, and patient outcome consistency across single and multi-unit implant cases. These ten Oakland practices are the implant providers the data confirmed as most reliably serving the East Bay's full economic range with quality implant care.
