Convenient Access from Natoma Station
Parents in west Folsom who want a dentist near Natoma Station can be at The Folsom Dentist in about 7 minutes. Our Folsom office is on Hana Way, where it meets East Bidwell Street, and Dr. Brad Coons cares for children, teens and adults there. Cleanings, fillings, crowns, Invisalign and implants all happen under one roof, so a growing family needs only one dental office.
Start at the elementary school on Turn Pike Drive and follow the neighborhood's main street, Natoma Station Drive, out to Blue Ravine Road. Turn right and stay on Blue Ravine heading east for close to 2 miles, then turn right onto East Bidwell Street and left onto Hana Way. The whole trip is 2.9 miles, and it usually takes around 7 minutes. Ernie Sheldon Youth Sports Complex sits on Natoma Station Drive at the start of the drive, and Mercy Hospital of Folsom is about 0.2 miles from our door at the far end.
The address is 785 Hana Way Ste 201, Folsom, CA 95630, and you can open our location in Google Maps to plan the turn onto Hana Way. We also see many patients from the neighboring Prairie Oaks and Willow Springs neighborhoods, which sit along the same stretch of west and central Folsom.
Why Natoma Station Households Feel at Home Here
Natoma Station is a neighborhood inside the City of Folsom, in Sacramento County, tucked between Folsom Boulevard and Blue Ravine Road on the west side of town. Its center of gravity is the neighborhood school, Natoma Station Elementary, part of Folsom Cordova Unified. A few blocks away, the Ernie Sheldon Youth Sports Complex keeps its lighted tennis and basketball courts, hockey and futsal rink, and ball fields ready for practices and games.
The name itself has local roots. The City of Folsom notes that "Natoma" comes from a Maidu word meaning clear water, and the neighborhood sits just south of Lake Natoma, where the neighborhood's main drive is one of the access points to the paved lakeside trail. Rowers, cyclists and runners share that shoreline with families out for an afternoon stroll.
That mix of school runs, practices and trail time is why convenience matters so much to local parents. Our office is open Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and the short drive up Blue Ravine Road makes a late-afternoon appointment before the 5:00 PM close realistic.
What Natoma Station Parents Should Know About Young Smiles
Children in an active neighborhood face two very different dental risks. The first is slow and quiet: cavities that start between back teeth long before they hurt. The second is sudden: a stray ball, a fall on the rink or a handlebar to the mouth. Regular cleanings and exams handle the first, and a plan for the second keeps a scary moment from turning into a lost tooth.
For everyday prevention, our cleanings and exams include a careful look at each tooth and digital x-rays when they are due. Dr. Coons uses an intraoral camera to show parents and kids exactly what he sees, which makes it easier for a child to understand why brushing along the gumline matters. Sports drinks and sticky snacks after practice are worth discussing at these visits, because frequent sipping keeps teeth bathed in sugar and acid.
For the sudden kind of problem, new patients can use our free emergency exam and x-rays. We strive to fit you into our schedule with an emergency dental exam, and Dr. Coons will walk you through treatment recommendations once he has seen the injury. Wearing a mouthguard for contact sports is still the simplest way to protect young teeth on the field or the court.
Parents deserve the same attention their kids get. Plenty of adults put off a cracked filling or a sore back tooth while the family calendar fills up, and small problems tend to grow during those months. When a tooth needs a crown, our CEREC system can restore it in just one visit, which means one trip down Blue Ravine Road instead of two. Adults who have lost a tooth can also have dental implants placed right here, with guided placement planned from CBCT 3D imaging.
Care From a Dentist Near Natoma Station
Preventative Dentistry
Twice-yearly cleanings and exams are the backbone of care for kids and parents alike. Catching a small cavity early means a simple filling instead of a bigger repair later in the school year.
Restorative Dentistry
Chipped edges, worn fillings and cavities that slipped past summer break are fixed here in our Folsom office. Repairs are matched to the tooth so a smile looks natural again for school photos.
Invisalign®
Clear aligners come out for meals, practice and games, which suits the busy Natoma Station routine. New patients receive a free Invisalign consultation that includes a digital scan and smile evaluation.
Root Canal Therapy
A hard hit can injure the nerve inside a tooth even when the outside looks fine. Root canal therapy is done in-house, so a parent driving over from west Folsom does not need a second office for treatment.
