I grew up around dentists most of my life. Two of my uncles are dentists. Dr. Hugh Charles, who is my Mothers Brother, encouraged my dental interests as I assisted him in the dental office at various times.

I am the oldest of six, and lived in California most of my life. I have an amazing mother and father who taught me the value of hard work from a young age. They taught me to treat others like I would want to be treated. They encouraged me to always do my best.

At the age of nineteen, I served a mission for my church in Asuncion, Paraguay. There I was able to share my faith with others, and do a lot of service. After coming home from my mission I attended Brigham Young University. I continued my dental pursuits by earning a Bachelors of Science in Zoology and a minor in Spanish. I was married to my wife, Lisa, my senior year at Brigham Young University. Then, we were off to the University of Iowa for Dental School.

I was fortunate to receive a research scholarship there, where I studied and researched Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD) and Third Molar Extractions (wisdom teeth extractions). While in dental school, two of our children were born.

When I finished my dental degree, DDS, I was accepted to my General Practice Residency Program at the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics. Here I received extra training in Oral Surgery, Dental Implants, IV Sedation, Orthodontics, and Medicine.

I have been a part of the Charles Dental Group for almost 24 years now. Two more children have come into our family now, making that a total of four amazing children. We love to be together as a family, and some of our favorite things to do is go boating, camping, and to Santa Cruz.

We are a water loving family, from water skiing, wake boarding, swimming and water polo. I have been involved in the schools here, mostly coaching varsity water polo at El Camino High School. I have also continued my affiliation with the Boy Scouts of America as a Scout Master and District Leader.

I really enjoy the opportunity I have as a dentist to serve you. I have seen families grow in our Practice and now see their children. I even have a granddaughter of my own, what a wonderful blessing that is.

I also have the privilege of my daughter Bryanne working a as a Dental Hygienist in our Practice. Our Dental Group is truly a family atmosphere. It is a place where you can feel safe, cared for, and loved.

I am a family practice dentist, which means I provide continuing, comprehensive dental health care for the individual and family. I chose family dentistry because I want to build long lasting relationships with patients while providing comprehensive dental and preventative care.

I worked with the Charles Dental Group for many years while pursuing my career as an oral health care provider. I thoroughly enjoy practicing dentistry utilizing evidence-based medicine, while integrating clinical expertise.

I was born and raised in Sacramento, CA. I graduated from California State University, Sacramento with a bachelors degree in biology. I then entered University of Nevada, Las Vegas School of Dental Medicine in 2004. I have been married over 13 wonderful years to a very supportive and patient young lady. Together we have four beautiful daughters who keep us busy.

I graduated from Semmelweis University in 1997 and joined the Charles Dental Group family practice in spring of 2000. I feel fortunate to be a part of a highly professional team which delivers state of the art dentistry.

With continuous education and training in different areas of dentistry, particularly pediatric dentistry, I am dedicated to providing my patients the most complete and comprehensive treatment options, while ensuring each patient is treated in a comfortable caring environment.

I enjoy the technical aspects of the dental profession, the precision and the science involved in crafting fine restorative work. My emphasis is on prevention and helping patients achieve the highest level of health, function and beauty.

I provide comprehensive dental services, including oral diagnosis, radiology, restorative and cosmetic dentistry, fixed (conventional and Cerec) and partial removable prosthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, pedodontics, oral prophylaxis, emergency care and minor oral maxillofacial surgery. I believe in the importance of educating patients of all ages about good dental habits and making a visit to the dentist a positive experience.

I grew up in southern California with a passion for research and science. After graduating Summa Cum Laude from University of California Los Angeles, I received a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures in 2009. While obtaining this degree, I volunteered at community dental clinics and health fairs as well as shadowing a dentist. These opportunities inspired him to pursue a career in dentistry.

Through his efforts with Remote Area Medical (RAM) and UCSF Community Dental Clinic, I provided dental services for patients with limited access to care. Encountering patients suffering from advanced periodontal disease with hopeless dentition sparked my interest to save teeth through different treatment modalities and further my education in periodontics.

During my residency, I taught pre-doctoral dental students in clinic and through lectures. In addition, I presented to general dentists at the Suffolk County Dental Society Meeting. Towards the end of my residency, I was chosen to participate in the Straumann National Resident Symposium.

Family, sunny weather, and great opportunities led myself to drive 2,865 miles to Sacramento after graduation. I joined the Charles Dental Group family practice in the summer of 2016. I thrive on providing quality dental care at the highest level of excellence in a comfortable setting.

I provide diagnosis and treatment of the various forms of periodontal diseases, dental extractions, soft and hard tissue grafting, placement of dental implants, and sinus grafting. I believe in providing every patient with comprehensive and individualized care.

I am a member of the American Academy of Periodontology, Western Society of Periodontology, Academy of Microscope Enhanced Dentistry, American Dental Association, California Dental Association, and Sacramento Dental Society.

At Charles Dental Group, we provide clear braces throughout the Fair Oaks area. Straight teeth are important for your overall oral health. When teeth are crooked, they can become stained and infected more easily. By straightening teeth, we can improve your appearance and decrease the risk of getting cavities at the same time. We can also address issues that you may have with your jaw by aligning your bite. Clear braces are truly a comprehensive way and discreet way to address oral health concerns.

We understand that while many people want to have straighter teeth, many teens and adults are uncomfortable with the traditional metal braces on their teeth for more than one year. While they are not as discreet as people wish, metal braces are an effective tool for straightening teeth. The procedure works by placing a metal bracket onto the surface of each tooth and running a wire through those brackets. It is impossible not to notice when someone is wearing traditional metal braces. While the treatment works, it can also negatively impact a persons' appearance while doing so. This has led many people to seek out a better option, one that we provide.

At Charles Dental Group, we offer clear alternatives for adults and teens the greater Fair Oaks area. We can straighten teeth and move them into the perfect position so the patient has a beautiful and radiant straight smile. If you have crooked teeth, unsightly gaps between your teeth or a misaligned bite, then we can help to correct these issues and more. Clear braces work just as effectively as metal braces but with some major improvements. Clear braces are much more difficult to notice, making them ideal for busy professionals, teens and those that do not want to negatively impact their current appearance during the process.

There are several types of clear and barely visible options to choose. One operates similarly to traditional metal braces where we place a bracket onto each tooth and thread a wire between the brackets. The difference is that instead of being made out of metal, the brackets for clear braces consists of a tooth-colored resin that blends in with the natural tooth. The wire is also tooth-colored so that the braces themselves are almost invisible and difficult to see. We find that this solution works well for teens and adults that are able to practice proper dental hygiene with the clear braces. Otherwise, food can stain the brackets. This solution is an excellent alternative to traditional braces and is just as effective at addressing all oral health concerns.

Clear braces also come in the form of aligners. Clear aligners look like a full retainer that surrounds the teeth and are worn on the upper and lower teeth. Aligners are more convenient to wear than metal braces since patients can remove them when necessary. One of the major concerns that people have with wearing braces is that they do not come off until the treatment is complete. If, for example, you get braces then decide to get married, you will either have braces in your wedding pictures or need to pay to remove them and reinstall them after. Simultaneously, if you have a big presentation at work and want to impress a client, your braces cannot come off for the meeting. This leaves many adults apprehensive about committing to a two-year treatment plan. We understand that appearance is important for more than vanity. It impacts your ability to create a professional image and retain your own self-image. As a Fair Oaks provider of clear braces and aligners, we make it so that you do not have to compromise your appearance or lifestyle while straightening teeth; aligners are a key component of that.

We treat both teens and adults and understand that both can benefit from similar treatment options. While children may not be able to wear clear braces, teens can wear clear braces if they take proper care of them. The main difference between clear braces for teens and adult braces, is that teens may need to use their aligners for a longer period of time. With such a busy schedule, we expect teens to remove their aligners more frequently to do things like play sports.

Invisalign is an orthodontic system made up of a series of clear plastic shells that fit tightly around the teeth. This treatment is a process of wearing these clear and removable aligners, which gradually straighten your teeth. Unlike traditional braces, there are no brackets and wires. These are made of flexible plastic, specifically, a patented

Tooth extraction, or dental extraction, is the removal of a tooth from the mouth.

Dental fillings play a vital role in treating tooth decay. If tooth decay has progressed beyond its earliest stage, a filling will help restore the tooth to its former, healthy state.Tooth decay is damage caused by bacteria, which, when combined with food, causes plaque.
