About Riverside Dental and Orthodontics in Riverside, CA
Riverside Dental and Orthodontics is a full-service practice at 4942 Arlington Ave., built so patients in the 92504 area can get general, cosmetic, restorative, and orthodontic care from one team instead of coordinating between separate offices. Below is how we approach a visit, what to expect the first time you come in, and what we care about as your local dental home.
Why We Keep Dentistry and Orthodontics Under One Roof
A lot of dental problems don't stay in one lane. Crowded teeth affect how you clean around them, which affects gum health; a worn bite affects the teeth that eventually need crowns or root canals. Splitting that across a general dentist in one building and an orthodontist in another means each side is working from a partial picture. We built this office so both sides of your care share the same chart, the same x-rays, and the same conversation about your goals — whether that's straighter teeth, a repaired tooth, or simply staying ahead of problems before they start.
That also means fewer trips across Riverside for families juggling school pickups and work schedules. One address on Arlington Avenue, one phone number, one team that already knows your history when you call.
One Practice, Every Stage of Your Smile
General & Preventive Care
Routine cleanings and exams, fillings, and gum disease treatment to catch small issues before they turn into bigger ones.

Dental implants, crowns, root canals, veneers, and teeth whitening for repairing and refreshing your smile.
Orthodontics for Every Age
Clear aligners and traditional braces for teens and adults, plus pediatric dentistry and wisdom teeth care as your family grows.
What a First Visit Here Actually Looks Like
New patients tend to worry the most about the unknown part of a visit — what will they find, what will it cost, how long will it take. We keep the first appointment structured so none of that stays a mystery longer than it has to.
You'll leave with a clear picture of your current dental health and a plan you actually understand, not a list of codes. If treatment can wait, we'll tell you that too — not everything needs to happen on day one.
- A conversation first — your history, concerns, and what brought you in
- An exam and imaging only where it's actually needed
- Findings explained in plain language, with time for questions
- Treatment options laid out before anything is scheduled
- Call to verify current insurance and payment plan details before you arrive
The Values Behind Every Appointment
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a first visit to Riverside Dental and Orthodontics?
A first visit starts with a conversation about your dental history and any concerns, followed by an exam and, if needed, imaging to see the full picture. Our team walks through what we find in plain language and lays out options before any treatment begins, so you leave knowing exactly what's next and why.
I feel anxious about dental visits. How does your office help nervous patients?
Tell us up front and we'll adjust the pace of your visit around it. We explain each step before we do it, pause when you need a moment, and never rush a conversation about your comfort. Many patients who put off dental care for years find the first visit is the hardest one, and it gets easier from there.
Do you treat children as well as adults, or just one age group?
Our office sees patients across a wide age range, from a child's first cleaning through adult restorative and orthodontic care, so a family in the 92504 area can often keep everyone's appointments at the same address instead of driving to separate offices.
Does someone on your team speak Spanish or other languages besides English?
Language availability on our front desk and clinical team can vary day to day. Call (951) 588-6641 before you book and our staff can tell you who's scheduled to work with you so there are no surprises at check-in.
Why keep general dentistry and orthodontics in the same office?
When your restorative dentist and your orthodontic team share one chart and one office, decisions about your bite, your gums, and your smile get made together instead of getting relayed between two practices. It's fewer appointments to juggle and one team who already knows your history.
