About Santa Rosa Dental

Advanced Dentistry and Personal Attention for Every Member of Your Family

As a family-owned practice in Santa Rosa, CA, we care for patients of all ages with the same attentive approach. Our team takes time to understand what you need, then uses advanced technology to plan treatment with precision. You leave every visit informed, comfortable, and confident in the next step.
Reception area at Santa Rosa Dental

From the first phone call, our team works to make dental care feel easier. We answer your questions, help you prepare, and send you a link to complete your forms online before you arrive. In the chair, we explain what we see in plain language, show you your scans on screen, and share honest, personalized recommendations, so you never feel rushed into a decision. Our goal is simple: when you leave, you understand your oral health, know your options, and feel confident about what comes next.

At Santa Rosa Dental, we invest in technology that makes treatment more precise and more comfortable. Digital scans replace messy impressions, CEREC creates many crowns in a single visit, and our in-house Smile Rejuvenation Implant Center uses CBCT 3D imaging and Yomi robotic guidance for precise implant placement. Comfort gets just as much attention, with warm towels, aromatherapy, treatment room TVs, and sedation options if you feel anxious. From children’s first checkups to full-mouth reconstruction, your whole family’s care stays in one familiar place.

Advanced Technology

Better Comfort and Accuracy, Every Visit

We invest in advanced dental technology so your visits feel easier, faster, and clearer from start to finish.

You deserve care that feels simple and precise. At Santa Rosa Dental, we use CBCT 3D imaging to map teeth, roots, nerves, and bone for safer, more detailed planning. Digital scans replace messy impressions with a quick, comfortable capture, so your restorations fit better the first time.

With CEREC, we design and place many crowns in a single visit, which means fewer appointments and no temporary to worry about. For implant cases, Yomi robotic guidance adds another layer of precision. Every tool we choose serves one goal: comfortable, accurate care built around what you actually need.

Yesterday I had a dental emergency and was able to be seen here even though this is not my normal dental office. Dr. Christian Shaifer was AMAZING!!! I have extreme dental anxiety and he made me feel more relaxed than anyone EVER had before. I think it is time to switch dentists!
