Road 200 and Highway 41

Road 200 runs out of North Fork and meets Highway 41. Turn north on the highway and stay on it into Oakhurst, where Road 426 branches off in town. Our office is at number 49414.

Every appointment, from a cleaning to a crown, happens at that one Oakhurst address, so the drive you know is the drive every time. If you need to move an appointment after it's booked, call (559) 683-4694 and we'll find another day.

Appointments and 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. To book, give us a call or use the appointment request form.

  • Let us know what you'd like to come in for. A cleaning, a routine examination and a look at a painful tooth are scheduled a little differently, and we'll book the visit that fits.
  • Ask about the sequence before treatment starts. Crowns, bridges and dentures involve a laboratory stage, so that work takes more than one visit, and healing time can add intervals of its own.
  • Ask what a treatment involves. Every treatment page on this site describes the steps in plain terms, and we're happy to answer questions before your appointment.
  • Bring a current list of medications. Anything for blood pressure, blood thinning or bone density can affect dental treatment, and so can medications that dry the mouth.
  • Ask your previous dentist for copies of your records and recent x-rays. You have a right to copies, and recent images give us a baseline to compare against.
  • Complete your patient forms before your visit.

How we can help

Dr. Robert J. Brosi is a general dentist, and general dentistry covers most of what a household needs over a lifetime. Examinations, cleanings and x-rays form the routine side of care. Fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures and root canal treatment help teeth that are broken, worn, infected or already lost. Gum disease is charted and treated on its own timetable, and it is a leading cause of adult tooth loss.

There is also cosmetic work such as whitening, bonding and veneers, and a page on jaw pain and clenching. The orthodontics and sleep apnea pages explain what clear aligner treatment and oral appliances involve. The risk of decay and gum disease depends on diet, saliva, medications and family history as well as on brushing, and we can look at those factors together at an examination. If something breaks unexpectedly, the dental emergencies page covers what to do first.

Common questions

Is there an office closer to North Fork?

Every patient is seen at our Oakhurst office, at 49414 Road 426, and we're glad to be your dentist out this way. Road 200 to Highway 41 brings you right to town.

What if the road is bad on the morning of my appointment?

Give us a call at (559) 683-4694 and let us know. Mountain weather is part of life out here, and we'll find you another day.

What happens at a first appointment?

It usually covers an examination of the teeth, gums and soft tissue, x-rays where they are needed, and an unhurried talk about what Dr. Brosi found and what, if anything, he recommends. Plan for it to take a little longer than a routine visit.
