Dentist

About a mile north of De Anza College, Dentist handles the usual—and the unusual. A six-stoplight radius around Vallco Parkway keeps them busy with fillings, crowns, and root canals, but the practice also sees plenty of routine cleanings and urgent extractions. They don’t do panoramic X-rays on walk-ins, but if you need a cracked molar splinted or a chipped veneer fixed, they’ll have the handpiece running by the time the numbing gel sets.

The single-story building sits on the west side of Torre Avenue, just past the auto-parts recycler. You’ll spot the glass storefront between a dry cleaner and a martial-arts studio. Call ahead if you need a night guard or a simple bonding job—408-255-2551—and they’ll pencil you in between the morning crown prep and the afternoon denture adjustment. Parking is tight after school lets out, so check the map for the pull-through lane that avoids the angled spots.
