Laurel Smile Dentistry

4.9(623)·6.5 km from Oakland Downtown
93Smyleee

3630, MacArthur Boulevard, Redwood Heights, Oakland, California

Open until 6 PM

Documented for pediatric dentistry in Oakland, with root canal treatment on the service list and 26 procedures on file.

Read full description

Laurel Smile Dentistry is at 3630 MacArthur Boulevard in Oakland's Redwood Heights neighbourhood — on the MacArthur Boulevard corridor in the hillside residential area of east Oakland. MacArthur Boulevard at this address runs through the Redwood Heights and Laurel district communities toward the hillside parks of the Oakland hills, accessible from the surrounding east Oakland residential streets and the communities between the Fruitvale and Dimond districts.

Sleep apnea treatment is explicitly listed alongside the general dental and restorative services. In the Redwood Heights and east Oakland hillside demographic, access to oral appliance therapy for obstructive sleep apnea within the general dental relationship removes the separate referral step to a sleep medicine specialist. Mandibular advancement devices prescribed following a physician's sleep study diagnosis are an effective intervention for mild-to-moderate OSA and for patients who have tried CPAP and cannot tolerate it long-term. Managing this within an existing general dental relationship simplifies the coordination considerably.

Snap-On Smile is offered alongside conventional veneers — a removable resin appliance that clips over existing teeth without enamel preparation. For patients in the Redwood Heights area who want cosmetic improvement without committing to irreversible procedures financially or clinically, Snap-On Smile provides a lower-barrier option. Conventional veneers, dental bonding, and whitening address the full esthetic range for patients who want a permanent cosmetic result.

Bone grafting alongside dental implants covers pre-implant ridge preparation for cases where alveolar bone has resorbed following tooth loss. Full mouth rehabilitation and prosthetics dentistry handle complex multi-tooth restorative cases combining implants, crowns, bridges, and periodontal management in sequenced treatment plans. Oral cancer screening provides annual surveillance for the MacArthur Boulevard patient community.

Paediatric dentistry, emergency dentistry, wisdom tooth removal, and a comprehensive restorative menu round out the clinical scope. For Redwood Heights, Laurel district, and east Oakland MacArthur Boulevard patients who want a family dental practice with sleep apnea management, bone grafting capability, and full mouth rehabilitation, the 3630 MacArthur Boulevard address covers that clinical range in the hillside east Oakland community.

Advanced Dental Concepts of Oakland

4.6(381)·345 m from Oakland Downtown
84Smyleee

1708, Franklin Street, Downtown Oakland, Oakland, California

Open until 4 PM

Oakland clinic with a orthodontics specialty — Root Canal Treatment is on file among 26 procedures.

Read full description

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

More about root canal treatment at this clinic

Root canal treatment in-house is a meaningful capability for a downtown practice serving patients who may develop acute dental pain during work hours. Irreversible pulpitis — the most common cause of acute dental pain requiring endodontic treatment — is not a condition that waits for a specialist referral appointment.

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?
