Refresh Dental

General dentistry in Berkeley doesn’t always mean a trek downtown—some practices operate just off the main drags, like the one at 2999 Regent St #501. Refresh Dental handles the usual suspects: cleanings, fillings, crowns, and the occasional emergency extraction when a molar decides to rebel. The building sits near the edge of the Elmwood district, where the student energy of Telegraph Avenue starts to quiet into residential side streets. It’s the kind of place where you’d schedule a routine checkup between classes or on a lunch break, assuming your calendar cooperates.

Dentists in this part of town tend to cater to both long-term locals and the transient university crowd, though no one advertises student discounts or last-minute appointments—those details are usually sorted over the phone. For the record, the number is (510) 845-2240. If you’re mapping it out, the entrance is on the fifth floor, which means you’ll want to confirm the suite number before heading up. Directions, as always, are best pulled from the map.
