Getting to the office
Highway 49 is the road through Ahwahnee, and you stay on it the whole way until you're in Oakhurst. Where Highway 49 meets Highway 41 in town, Road 426 branches off, and our office is at number 49414.
The final stretch takes the most attention. Addresses on Road 426 sit further apart than a map suggests, so watch for the number itself rather than for a block of buildings. Our directions page has the approach written out along with a map.
How we can help
Dr. Robert J. Brosi is a general dentist, and general dentistry covers most of what a family needs over a lifetime. These are the pages that describe what each treatment involves and what happens at the appointment.
- A household preventive schedule: examinations, cleanings, x-rays where they are needed, and the soft tissue screening that accompanies them.
- A tooth that has broken, and the filling, crown or root canal treatment it may need to stay in place.
- Bleeding gums, which are usually a sign of inflammation and a good reason to come see us. The periodontal care page covers diagnosis and treatment.
- Crowding or spacing that has changed over the years. The orthodontics page explains what clear aligner treatment involves and what it can correct.
- Concerns about the appearance of front teeth, and the conservative cosmetic options to consider before any treatment that removes tooth structure.
- Morning headaches and a sore jaw, which are sometimes related. The jaw pain and clenching page explains evaluation and treatment.
- A broken tooth, a crown that has come off, or swelling. The dental emergencies page explains what to do first.
Booking an appointment
To make an appointment, give us a call at (559) 683-4694 or use the appointment request form. It helps to have a few things ready when you call.
-
Let us know what you'd like to come in for
A cleaning, a routine examination and a look at a specific tooth are scheduled a little differently. Tell us what's going on, and we'll book the visit that fits.
-
Have your medication list handy
Anything for blood pressure, blood thinning or bone density can affect dental treatment, and so can medications that dry the mouth. A written list is the easiest way to share names and doses.
-
Check our office hours
We're open Monday through Wednesday from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm and Thursday from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm, and closed Friday through Sunday.
-
Ask about records if you're changing practices
You have a right to copies of your dental records. Asking your previous office for recent x-rays before the first visit gives us a baseline to compare against.
