We use digital imaging and modern tools to diagnose accurately and plan your care clearly. Your comfort matters, and we work hard to make each visit as comfortable and straightforward as possible.

Getting to the Office

Location is everything, and we make it easy. From Arden-Arcade, take Business 80 west toward midtown Sacramento, or use Arden Way. Both routes converge near our office at 1105 E Street, Sacramento, CA 95814. The drive is typically 10-15 minutes depending on traffic and which part of Arden-Arcade you're coming from.

Parking is hassle-free. Midtown Sacramento has abundant street parking and nearby lots. You won't spend 20 minutes hunting for a spot. Our location also puts you near other midtown services, so you can stack errands if needed.

We recommend arriving 10 minutes early for your first visit so you can complete paperwork comfortably. Subsequent visits can be quick checkups or longer procedures, depending on your treatment plan. Call (916) 538-6900 if you need directions or have questions about access.

General and Preventive Care

Most dental problems are preventable. That's why we emphasize preventive care as the foundation of our practice. Regular checkups and cleanings catch small issues before they become expensive, painful problems.

Our preventive services include professional cleanings, thorough exams, and early detection of cavities, gum disease, and other concerns. We use digital X-rays to see what the eye can't, and we explain findings in plain language. If we spot something, we tell you exactly what it is, what it means, and what your options are.

We also recommend fluoride treatments and sealants for patients of all ages who want extra protection. For kids, these preventive measures are especially valuable in preventing cavities during their most cavity-prone years. For adults, consistent preventive care extends the life of your natural teeth and often saves money long-term compared to restorative work.

Cosmetic Dentistry Options

A bright, even smile makes a real difference. You don't need dramatic cosmetic work to feel confident, but if you want it, we offer several proven options tailored to your goals.

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular services. Professional whitening is faster and more effective than over-the-counter kits. We can brighten your teeth safely in one office visit, or provide custom trays for gradual at-home whitening.

Porcelain veneers are thin shells that cover the front of teeth to hide discoloration, gaps, or shape issues. They're durable and look incredibly natural when done well. Dr. Castro and Dr. Karavan have extensive experience creating smiles that look beautiful and feel authentic.

Invisalign clear aligners are a popular alternative to traditional braces. They straighten teeth gradually and discreetly. No one needs to know you're undergoing orthodontic treatment. They're removable, so eating and cleaning your teeth is normal. Many Arden-Arcade patients choose Invisalign because it fits their busy lifestyles.

Beyond these services, we also offer bonding and reshaping to refine your smile. During a cosmetic consultation, we discuss what's possible and what makes sense for your bite, health, and budget.

Restorative and Implant Work

If you have damaged, decayed, or missing teeth, we restore them to full function and appearance. Modern restorative dentistry doesn't leave you with obvious repairs.

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing a missing tooth. An implant is a titanium post anchored in your jawbone, topped with a natural-looking crown. Unlike bridges or dentures, implants preserve bone and feel exactly like your own teeth. They're a significant investment, but they last decades and improve your quality of life.

Crowns and bridges strengthen damaged teeth or replace missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth. They're faster to place than implants and are also long-lasting when properly cared for.

Tooth-colored fillings repair cavities with materials that match your natural enamel. We rarely use old silver amalgam fillings. Your teeth look more natural, and the treatment is straightforward.

Dentures, both full and partial, are custom-made to fit your mouth and restore your bite. Modern dentures are comfortable and look natural. We help you adjust to wearing them and ensure a proper fit.

Dr. Castro and Dr. Karavan will discuss which restorative option suits your situation best. Some patients need only one tooth fixed, while others require a full smile reconstruction. We create a phased treatment plan that fits your timeline and budget.

Emergency Dental Access

Dental emergencies don't follow business hours. A sudden toothache, cracked tooth, or lost filling can be incredibly stressful and painful. We prioritize emergency patients and often have same-day or next-day appointments available.

Call (916) 538-6900 and explain your emergency. We'll get you in as soon as possible. Common emergencies include severe tooth pain from decay or infection, cracked or chipped teeth, lost or broken fillings or crowns, and gum abscesses. We diagnose the problem, relieve pain, and plan proper treatment to prevent future issues.

If you experience severe bleeding, broken jaw, or trauma to the mouth or face, go to the emergency room first. But for most urgent dental issues, we're your first call. Having a trusted dentist you can reach during an emergency is invaluable.

Insurance and New Patient Information

Insurance coverage: We accept most major dental insurance plans. We handle claim submission for you and work with your insurance company to maximize your benefits. If you're uninsured, we offer flexible payment plans and discuss all pricing upfront before treatment begins. There are no surprise bills at Sacramento Dentistry Group.

New patient visit: Your first appointment includes a comprehensive exam, digital X-rays, and a detailed conversation about your oral health history and goals. We take 60-90 minutes for new patients because we want to understand your situation fully. This is not a rushed, impersonal appointment.

What to bring: Bring a photo ID, your insurance card (if insured), and any relevant medical history. If you have dental records from a previous dentist, request them transferred to us beforehand.

Scheduling: Book online or call (916) 538-6900. We offer morning, afternoon, and some evening appointments to fit your schedule. We're committed to seeing new patients promptly, usually within one week of your call.
