Born in Santa Barbara and raised in nearby Ventura, David Partrite originally moved to Northern California to attend UC Davis, where he graduated summa cum laude with a degree in biochemistry. After taking a year off for travel, he began work on his dental degree at UC San Francisco. Loving the Bay Area, he decided that this was the place to live and raise a family.
While in dental school. Dr. Partrite began to realize that old school dentistry was not how he wanted to practice. So after dental school, he sought further training with Dr. Hal Huggins, a pioneer in mercury-free dentistry, as well as through the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology.
Silver mercury amalgam fillings and other metal restorations were not only unaesthetic, he learned. They can have an extremely negative impact on overall health, as well. Clearly, there was more to dentistry than just teeth.
When not caring for patients, Dr. Partrite enjoys spending time with his wife Audrey and their two children, Taylor and Lucas, and helping coach his kids sports teams. Hes also a musician, having played the piano and the guitar since he was 5 years old. Since Taylor has taken up the piano, they have yet another way to spend time and have fun together!
At New Era Dentistry in Danville, we dont do assembly line dentistry. You wont be just another patient in a packed waiting room. We offer individualized care for each person who comes to us for dental help.
We also offer a healthful environment. If you even think about that typical dental office smell, its only because youve noticed that it isnt there. Ionizers and HEPA filters in each treatment room thoroughly clean the air we breathe. Carpet-free spaces mean no fibers that any harmful particulate matter can get trapped in. Our treatment rooms are cleaned and sterilized between patients with nontoxic, biodegradable disinfectants.
On December 14-15, there is going to be a hearing held in Washington D.C. to discuss the safety of dental mercury amalgam. Currently, the FDA rule on dental amalgam acknowledges that The developing neurological systems in fetuses and young children may be more sensitive to the neurotoxic effects of mercury vapor, but inexplicably still says that it is safe to expose even these vulnerable populations to mercury a know neurotoxin and reproductive toxin.

This is my all-time favorite dentistry office. I live all the way in San Francisco and continue to come all the way to Danville because I love the staff and the care that I get here. A special shout out to Noreen, who has been my hygienist for years and actually helped get me to the office when I had slight transportation issue today. Everyone here is first class.. They also give you the best complementary toothbrushes you could ask for after your appointment they gave you the best complementary toothbrushes after your appointment!

First timer,was hesitant to switch after so many years with my previous dentist, left due to the hygienist retiring and the office becoming pushy to get you to some unnecessary procedures, New Era is different in a way that they are like a,family, they are small but have the latest technology, Mike,the hygienist is very good, They don't use anything unnatural, don't push you for treatment not needed, the doctor is very attentive, i like the way they take their xray,latest machines, i felt comfortable They have something that measures the level of bacteria in your mouth which was very interesting, I switched because my wife also had switched earlier from the same office we both had used for 12 years, Totally happy,

I live this place, the doctor and the staff. We've been a patient for several years, since Dr. Partrite was the only doctor my daughter would open her mouth for. He's calm, cool, not an alarmist, always opting for only what's necessary and has a great 'bedside manner.' Book ahead and don't cancel, is my only recommendation, as they are hard to schedule with and appointments are hard to come by. Highly recommend.

I'm a new patient as of 4/2023. I am very pleased with my procedure. I needed a fresh approach to my dental health after so many disappointments. So far I and have no regrets and my tooth and crown are feeling great. Almost no pain or discomfort. Amazing!!! Dr Partrite is on the right road about biomimetic dentistry and I plan to remain a patient even though the drive from Modesto is long. Dr Partrite was sincerely kind and seemed to enjoy keeping up to date with his patients and their family's. I met his staff Jodi, Ashley and Elaina. They all go out of their way to help you. Thank you New Era Dentistry. I'll be back
