Dr. James A. Coxis a native Californian who has been practicing dentistry and living in the Palo Alto area since 1976. He graduated from Woodside High School before attending the University of California at Santa Barbara, where he graduated with honors, with a Degree of Bachelor of Arts, and a major in Zoology. Dr. Cox received his dental training from the University of California at San Francisco School of Dentistry and graduated with honors in 1976.
In the pursuit of excellence and advancement of patient care, Dr. Cox is committed to expanding his education. He has completed the world-renowned Nobel Biocare Surgical and Prosthetic Curriculum and utilizes the latest techniques in oral implantology. Dr. Cox has restored dental implants for nearly 35 years and has surgically placed implants for almost 20 years.
Dr. Cox is a member of the American Dental Association, the California Dental Association, the Mid-Peninsula Dental Society, is Co-Chairman of the Mid-Peninsula Dental Society Peer Review. He is highly respected by his peers within Palo Alto as well as those within other state Dental Societies.
From the beginning of his career Dr. Cox has been committed to providing the highest quality and care to his patients. During his first 15 years he not only became a master craftsman and dental artist in designing and creating his patient's crowns, bridges and dentures but also became highly esteemed in the technical aspects of creating aesthetic restorations. He has presented lectures to dentists and dental laboratory technicians on technical and aesthetic aspects of restoration. As a result of this commitment, our office is one of only a few in the area that houses its own dental laboratory for the creation of dental restorations.
Our office is a digital (paperless) dental office. This means all x-rays and charting are made and recorded with the aid of the computer. Using this technology allows us to maintain your dental records electronically, and cuts down the unnecessary paperwork used with traditional paper charting. Traditional paper charting is difficult to keep standardized from doctor to hygienist to assistant. Using our dental software, this problem is eliminated by use of consistent charting methods that are accurate and precise, making it easy to read your dental chart and see up-to-date information. Digital charting standardizes the charting process so it is clear, easy to understand, and enables us to provide the most accurate and precise care to our patients. When needed and permitted, this method also allows us to quickly and securely share information with your other health care providers.
Our office utilized electronic claims processing. By filing your claim electronically, treatment information and supporting x-rays are efficiently submitted in a standardized format. The benefit to our patients is a faster turnaround time for explanations of benefits and claim payments.
As a courtesy, our office processes your claims. As patients are responsible for all charges which are not covered by insurance, payment is due at the time of service for insured members on non-contracted carriers. This is called fee-for-service. The carriers generally send claim payments directly to the plan subscriber within 30 days of claim submission. Patients with insurance under contracted carriers are responsible for their portion of fees at the time of service.

Cox and Miranda, DDS is the best place clinic I've ever been to because everyone is friendly, and I felt comfortable. I was late most of the time, but they were very flexible, and the accommodation was fantastic. Dr. Miranda did a great job with my tooth implants, and the staffs are all awesome!

Simply the very best in Northern California. Their staff is also top notch, friendly & efficient. Just the way it should be. I had an urgency - very old filling fell out- and received an appt. the same day I called. 30 minutes later, all fixed. Can't get any better than that! New (to me), Dr. Ymas, is a great addition to the practice. Congratulations.
