Dr. Llanell Vararaj

What happens when a dentist sets up practice on a street where students, professors, and long-time residents all brush past each other daily? Dr. Llanell Vararaj offers routine cleanings, fillings, crowns, and emergency care at 909 University Ave—steps from the Berkeley campus and the quiet side streets of the Southside neighborhood. The office handles everything from preventive check-ups to root canals; patients can also request cosmetic treatments like whitening or veneers. It’s a straightforward setup: one address, one phone line, and a steady stream of people who need reliable dental work.

Directions to the practice are easiest to pull up on a map, but the number to call is (510) 665-6058. Whether you’re scheduling a first visit or rescheduling a missed one, the line connects directly to the front desk. For anyone navigating the mix of old apartment buildings and newer cafés along University Avenue, the office sits mid-block, just past the corner of California Street. A quick tap on this map link will drop a pin where the sidewalk meets the door.
