San Ramon, CA · Since 1992
Every recommendation we make begins with a single question: if this were our own family, what would we do?
A San Ramon practice built around unhurried conversation, careful diagnosis, and treatment recommended only when it earns its place.
Our philosophy
Do less, preserve more. Act when it matters.
We believe in conservative, minimally invasive care. If your smile is healthy, we won't over-treat it. If we see something that could affect your oral or systemic health, we'll bring it to your attention with clarity, respect, and a plan that makes sense.
You'll always know why we're recommending something and what the path forward looks like. And if the honest answer is to wait, we'll tell you that too.
Signature services
What we spend most of our time on.
Cosmetic & Smile Design
Veneers, bonding, whitening, and full smile design. Guided by a preservation-first mindset, we do what improves the smile without overtreating the mouth.

Preventive & Family

"Love the new office, contemporary, comfortable, new! Efficient hygiene team, entertaining doctors, personable office staff, not to mention quality care providers! Available when there's an emergency, like when my husband broke his tooth eating a sandwich or when I got my front tooth knocked out in a lunchtime game of volleyball!"
"Dr Hakim and Dr Patel are great. Had a great experience with a problematic tooth, much analysis and in the end they did the right thing. Have been with them for several years and they do a great job!"
"Dr. Patel replaced my old crown with a new one. The procedure was handled perfectly. The entire staff is courteous and professional. A+ highly recommend this company."
Technology
A diagnostic tool built by dentists. One Dr. Patel helped design.
Trust AI is a clinical co-pilot for reviewing X-rays and planning treatment. It doesn't decide anything for us; it helps us see the same finding twice, from different angles, and explain it clearly to the person in the chair.
- Trust AI: AI-assisted diagnosis and treatment planning
- iTero: digital scanning, no more physical impressions
- CBCT: 3D imaging for implant planning and complex cases
From Trust AI, the diagnostic co-pilot we use at San Ramon Dental Excellence.
New here?
If it's been a while since your last visit, you're not alone. You won't be judged.
We start with a conversation, not a lecture. First visits are unhurried, and we'll spend more time listening than lecturing about what should have been done sooner.
See our approach to new patients →What to expect on your first visit
- 01A warm welcome and an unhurried tour of the office
- 02A conversation about your history and what brought you in
- 03A digital exam with AI-assisted diagnostics
- 04A one-on-one discussion of what we found and what it means
- 05Time to think, and a plan built around your priorities
The best conversation is the one that hasn't happened yet. Start it today.
