Hon Van Cao, DDS

The Hon Van Cao, DDS office handles general and family dentistry on Arlington Avenue. It’s one of the few practices in Riverside where routine cleanings and fillings share the schedule with more involved work like crowns and extractions. Reviews suggest patients return for consistency—something that’s harder to find than you’d expect in a city with no shortage of dental options. The numbers back that up: 61 reviews with an average 4.9 rating on Google.

Finding a dentist who does both preventive care and restorative procedures in the same visit can cut down on referrals. This place covers exams, X-rays, and basic oral surgery without sending you across town for follow-ups. If you’re mapping out a first visit or need to reschedule, the front desk answers at (951) 215-7623. The address, 3667 Arlington Ave, puts it near the stretch of Riverside where medical offices cluster—practical for anyone already running errands in the area.

Dental work isn’t the kind of thing people rave about, but the ratings here don’t lie. A near-perfect score after dozens of reviews usually means two things: no surprises on billing and no lectures about flossing. That’s about as close to a win as you get in this category. For those who’d rather not play phone tag, the online booking tool seems to be the preferred method, though calling still works fine.

The office sits just off the 91, close enough to the freeway to make it an easy detour but far enough to avoid the worst of the traffic. If you’re plotting the route, directions pull up cleanly on Google Maps. Riverside’s dental scene is crowded, but this spot holds its own without the hard sell.
