Questions About Our Dental Office?

Your Trusted Family Dentist in Redwood City, CA

During your first visit to our Redwood City dental office, our team will review your medical and dental history, take any necessary X-rays, and perform a comprehensive dental exam, checking your teeth, gums, and bite for any signs of cavities, gum disease, or other concerns. A professional dental cleaning may also be performed to remove plaque and tartar buildup and help keep your teeth and gums healthy. If needed, digital X-rays may be taken to give the dentist a clearer view of areas that cannot be seen during a regular exam.

New patients can also take advantage of our $150 New Patient Special, which includes the exam, X-rays, and cleaning, plus a complimentary teeth whitening kit.

Your dentist will review the findings with you, answer any questions, and discuss recommended treatments or preventive care to maintain your oral health. Schedule your first visit today.

Yes. Bay Area Dental Office welcomes new patients from Redwood City and nearby areas. Our team provides comprehensive dental care including preventive exams and cleanings, restorative treatments, and cosmetic services for patients looking for a trusted local dentist.

New patient visits typically include a full dental exam and professional cleaning, and digital X-rays if needed. During your appointment, the dentist will review your oral health, answer any questions, and recommend any treatments that may help maintain or improve your smile.

Bay Area Dental Office provides a wide range of general and cosmetic dental services including cleanings and x-rays, root canal treatment, crowns, veneers, dental implants, braces, bridges, and composite fillings and bonding. Our goal is to provide comprehensive dental care for patients in Redwood City, California and surrounding areas.

Most patients should schedule a professional dental cleaning and exam every six months. These routine visits help remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing at home can miss, especially around the gumline and in harder to reach areas. Cleanings also help reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and persistent bad breath.

At your visit, the dentist can also check for early signs of issues like gum inflammation, enamel wear, cracks, and developing cavities, so problems can be addressed while they are still small and easier to treat. Some patients may need cleanings more often than every six months, such as those with gum disease, a history of frequent cavities, smokers, or patients with certain medical conditions. Your dentist can recommend the best schedule based on your oral health and risk factors.

Here is the quick breakdown:

Every 6 months – standard preventive schedule recommended by most dentists and dental associations.
Every 3–4 months – patients with gum disease, heavy plaque buildup, or higher risk.
Once a year – sometimes acceptable for very low-risk patients with excellent oral health, but most offices still prefer twice yearly exams.

The reason for two visits per year is that plaque hardens into tartar in a few months, and early cavities or gum disease can develop without symptoms. Seeing a dentist twice a year helps catch those problems early before they become more expensive or painful to treat.

Yes. Orthodontic treatments such as braces are designed to correct misaligned teeth, crowded teeth, and bite problems such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites. By gradually guiding the teeth into proper alignment, orthodontic treatment helps improve the function of your bite as well as the overall appearance of your smile.

Straightening teeth can also make daily oral hygiene easier because properly aligned teeth are simpler to brush and floss. This can help reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and uneven tooth wear over time. During a consultation, the dentist can evaluate your bite and discuss whether orthodontic treatment may be beneficial for your dental health and smile goals.

I always take the opportunity to leave a review after my visit. The service at Bay Area Dental Office continues to be exceptional. The team always treats me with excellence, from the front office to the back in the dental chair. Everyone I’ve interacted with is talented, attentive and friendly. Additional review: I’ve always worked with Dr Meza for years, who is excellent, but I have more recently worked with Dr Hernandez. He diagnosed a dental issue properly and treated it perfectly. In the few times that he treated me, I can conclude that Dr Hernandez is highly skilled and talented. Great “bedside manner” and clear communication. This office has an outstanding team, from front to back.

Owner's reply
Thank you, John! We’re grateful for your continued trust and kind words. Always a pleasure having you at the office!
