Dr. Alex grew up here in Vallejo and is proud to be back in his home community serving the people he grew up with. Dr. Alex understands what an exceptional community Vallejo is, and wants to bring the honesty and high-value care that the people of Vallejo deserve. Dr. Alex favors a minimally invasive approach, with an emphasis on integrity, communication, and long-term stability.
Dr. Alex Chaney graduated from the University of the Pacific, Dugoni School of Dentistry located in San Francisco, in 2017.He completed his undergraduate training at UC Riverside with a BS in Mechanical Engineering, and then went on to pursue dental school requirements, worked a software consulting job, before entering dental school in 2014.
Dr. Chaney aims to blend the old and new worlds of dentistry to provide the best of each, which includes the proven metal dentistry that has been around for decades, with the newer ceramics and bonding innovations that make modern dentistry ultra-esthetic. Dr. Chaney is constantly taking the latest continuing education courses to continually improve and grow as a provider, including courses in implant dentistry, implant supported prosthetics, sleep apnea and TMD treatment.He is a member of the American Dental Association (ADA), the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), and the California Dental Association (CDA). Dr. Chaney also serves as president of the local Napa-Solano dental society.
When Alex is not doing dentistry, he is often hiking, camping, biking or just hanging out with his wife Eli. He enjoys many hobbies, including ceramics, painting, creating jewelry, working on his bonsai trees, and woodworking. He is self-taught on most of these interests, and is often exploring new ideas and fields. Ask him what he's working on right now!
Dr. Chaney graduated from Dental School at the University of California, San Francisco, School of Dentistry in 1977, receiving the Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. For his undergraduate training, he attended the University of California at Riverside, and received his bachelor's degree in Physics.
He enjoys his family, with his wife Sharon, and his two boys Alex and Neil. The family enjoys hiking, camping, boating and scouting together. Everyone enjoys making things, as you can see on the art web site.
He also plays music in a country band called The Desert Moon Band. He applies his artistic talents, assisted by some of the skills he learned in dentistry, to some unusual creations. His interests in electronics, computers, metalworking and woodworking are mostly self-taught. He likes making things so much, that when he first learned about what dentists do and how much creating things with his hands was involved, he said 'This looks like the profession for me!'.
Diane is the always proficient, and oh-so-gentle hygienist. She is regularly getting rave reviews about how thorough she is, how gentle is her touch, and how clean our patients' teeth feel after she is done. She loves to laugh, and has a great sense of humor. No wonder she is so loved by our patients!
Shirley is Dr. Alex Chaneys assistant and is excellent at keeping the office running in top shape. She does sterilization, chairside assisting and taking x-rays. Shirley is often the first clinical person patients see for Dr. Alex and is very much appreciated! In her off time, Shirley enjoys travel, shopping, eating, laughing and gathering with family and friends, and sightseeing

Because Dr Chaney has kept his promise to never hurt me I have for the last 20 years been able to never fear going to the Dentist as I did before. I have referred several friends who were afraid to go to the Dentist & they are now his patients also. Thank you Dr Chaney for your dedication & commitment to giving your patients painless Dental care. Dr Alex I have seen only a couple times but he has also shown the same compassion & dedication to making your dental work painless.

If you want good old fashion doctor/ patient treatment this is the place to get it. The staff is kind and competent. I just had a crown prep with absolutely no pain involved. I have been going to Dr. Alex Chaney for several years and have been impressed by his concern for my health and the fact that he is not always trying to sell me something as my prior dentist was. The office has the feel of old fashion dentistry but with up to date techniques and practices. I would recommend this dental practice to anyone.

Have been experiencing the caring, compassionate professionalism that Dr. Victor Chaney and his Son Dr. Alex Chaney provide for years! Moved out of the Vallejo area two years ago. Now living 100 miles away and the drive to the Chaney Family Dentistry office is well worth it! Feels like home. Always welcoming from Mary to Shirley and everyone else who works there. Go see them for your dental health! BEST DENTISTS EVER!! WOO HOO

Dr. Chaney and all of the staff at Chaney Family Dentistry were efficient, intelligent and extremely kind. As a new patient this experience could not have been better - very sad that I was not aware of Chaney Family Dentistry until recently but am very happy that I am now. I highly recommend Dr. Chaney who is of the very highest integrity & knowledge. Phyllis E. Keery
