Dr. Jose S. Castro Jr, DMD

Dentists aren’t usually the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Riverside, but they’re the kind of place you’re glad exists when you need one. Dr. Jose S. Castro Jr, DMD handles everything from routine cleanings to more involved procedures—fillings, crowns, even root canals—without making the whole thing feel like a production. The office sits at 8735 Trautwein Rd, just off the main drag in a neighborhood where the streets are quiet but the freeway’s close enough to make the trip painless.

Most people find themselves here after a sudden toothache or a reminder from their insurance that another six months have slipped by. If that’s you, the number to call is (951) 776-1330—no need to overthink it. For directions or to double-check the location before heading out, the map will get you there without any wrong turns. Odds are you’ll be back in six months anyway, so you might as well pick a spot that doesn’t make the whole thing worse than it has to be.
