John R. Licking DDS Inc.

Los Altos dentistry isn’t flashy. It’s steady, quiet work—cleanings, fillings, the occasional crown—done in offices tucked behind redwoods and quiet driveways. John R. Licking DDS Inc. sits at 730 Altos Oaks Dr, a short jog from Foothill Expressway, where the pavement gives way to tree-lined curves. The practice handles routine check-ups, digital X-rays, root canals, and pediatric visits without fanfare, the kind of place where parents swap carpool tips in the parking lot while waiting for their kids’ fluoride treatments. Emergency slots open up same-day for sudden toothaches, and clear aligners are offered for adults who’d rather skip metal brackets.

Directions are simple: plug the address into your map or follow the link here. When you need to call ahead or confirm an appointment, the number is (408) 736-6255. The neighborhood rolls up early, so evening slots fill fast—best to book mid-morning if you want sunlight on the drive home.
