Our story
Part of Midtown since 1958.
Our practice has been part of Midtown Palo Alto since 1958, caring for generations of local families. Today Dr. Shawn Sharma and our team continue that tradition with a personal approach to dentistry and a lasting commitment to this community.
We value the relationships that develop over years of care, from welcoming someone for a first visit to looking after their family as needs change. Many of our patients have been with us for decades, and some now bring their children and grandchildren.
Our approach
Care that starts with understanding.
Good care begins with listening. We take time to understand your concerns, examine your oral health and explain what we find in plain language.
If treatment is needed, we discuss the options, the priorities and the estimated costs so you can make an informed decision. Our recommendations are guided by your individual needs, with an emphasis on prevention, preserving healthy teeth and supporting your oral health over time.
Inside the practice
Take a look around.
A quiet, lamplit office on Middlefield Road, arranged so your visit never feels rushed.
Before your visit
Feel prepared from the start.
Whether you are looking for a new dental home, returning after time away or seeking a second opinion, we welcome the conversation. Our team can help you prepare for your appointment, transfer relevant records and understand the insurance and payment process.
