A neighborhood pediatric dentist for Mather families
Four miles from Mather Sports Center and a quick drive from neighborhoods around Mather Boulevard, Independence Drive, and the former Mather Air Force Base area. Pediatric dentistry from infancy through the teen years.
A short trip across the county
Mather is a smaller community within Sacramento County, situated southeast of Rancho Cordova on the site of the former Mather Air Force Base. Neighborhoods cluster along Mather Boulevard, Independence Drive, and the Sunrise Boulevard corridor. From most Mather addresses, our office is four miles north, ten to fifteen minutes depending on traffic. The most common route is Sunrise Boulevard north to Gold Express Drive.
Mather is family-heavy with a younger demographic, and the school assignments are split between Folsom Cordova Unified and Sacramento County schools depending on neighborhood. Many of our Mather families come from word-of-mouth referrals through the larger Rancho Cordova network.
What Mather families bring us
Mather's family demographic skews younger than the regional average, with a strong concentration of families with kids from infancy through middle school. The most common visits are age-one first visits, routine cleanings and exams, sealants on six-year and twelve-year molars, and the occasional restorative case as cavities are detected.
We see a meaningful number of frenectomy referrals from Mather, often through the obstetric and lactation networks at Mercy San Juan Medical Center. For special-needs families, the proximity to our office matters because the schedule of repeat visits required for sensory accommodation and desensitization protocols becomes substantially easier when the drive is short.
