Alfred B. dela Cruz, DDS is a San Ramon dental office that provides patients of all ages with a variety of general dental services, including composite fillings, extractions, dentures, partials, root canals, whitening and cosmetic work. The practice also handles veneers, inlays, onlays (a conservative alternative to crowns) and periodontal therapy, and it uses carefully tailored anesthesia to offer painless oral surgery.

Dr. dela Cruz believes in creating a “dental experience” for each of his patients. He says he prefers to take his time, completely explain his procedures, thoroughly educate his patients and provide several treatment choices.

Alfred B. dela Cruz, DDS utilizes several high-tech dentistry tools, including an inter-oral camera and a DEKA laser for soft tissue management. Dr. dela Cruz also employs technology to maintain his patients’ calm and improve their overall experiences. “I’m especially proud of our electric handpiece,” he says. “It’s powerful yet quiet, unlike the commonly used air-driven variety with its characteristic whine.”
