Standards of care vary around the world. We believe in providing the highest quality of care as comfortably as possible. Staying abreast of the ever-changing field of dentistry and using the latest techniques and technologies enables us to deliver the highest standard of dental care.
In addition to being clinicians, we are educators. After spending many years learning the science and art of dentistry, we are passionate about it. We involve you in the process of your health care and help you to make the best decisions. We do this by teaching you about your treatment options and setting aside time to satisfactorily answer all of your questions.
We strive to create a positive environment every hour of every day. We do this for our clients, families, friends, neighbors, and ourselves. We bring our best to work and we work our best, every working day.
A Canadian native, Doctor Barinder Cheema might have become a hockey player instead of a dentist, but a certain uncle in his family had a very great influence on his eventual choice of career. Visiting his uncles dental office, it became inspirational to see such big changes among people walking in with pain and out with a smile. As a result, Dr. Cheema crossed the border to the University of Washington in Seattle and earned his degree in dentistry. Now he brings his abilities to save teeth and restore smiles to the Placerville Dental Group.
Dr. Cheema enjoys taking the time to hear about any problems you may have with your teeth. He always seeks to clearly explain the state of your oral health, to point out the procedures that can help you protect it, and to answer any of your questions before starting treatment.
A trilingual dentist, Dr. Cheema speaks Punjabi and Hindi, alongside English. His goal is for every patient to feel comfortable in our local office and for all clients to have the same experience they had with his uncle to walk out with a smile!
Blending art with science, dentistry is my passion. I consider it a privilege to be a dentist, to have a real impact on the health of my patients. I studied to become a dentist right here in California at UC San Francisco and graduated in 2006. Sacramento is my hometown, and I spent my undergraduate years at UC Davis, so I returned from the Bay Area to establish a dental practice in Northern California.
My approach towards dentistry is best described as comprehensive. This gives me the ability to handle the basics, like cleanings and cavities, and the complex, like oral surgery and orthodontics. This means that everyone in your family can receive their dental care at the Placerville Dental Group.
While dentistry occupied much of my time when I first started out, my marriage to Nancy in 2010 began my life as a family man and a father. Our daughter Ella entered our world one year later and her younger brother Liam followed shortly after. In 2017, we welcomed our twin boys Jonah and Derek. At home, I enjoy caring for our own garden beds as a way to relax at the end of the day.
When I am at the office, I make my recommendations for your dental care the same way I would for my own family. My parents, grandfather and other relatives live nearby, and I often serve their dental needs. You undoubtedly have many of the same concerns that they do and I understand this. Therefore, when I treat a son or daughter, mother or father, what I suggest is honestly based on the best possible care for your teeth.
