Convenient Access from Orangevale
Greenback Lane carries most of the drive from Orangevale to our door, which makes The Folsom Dentist about a 12-minute drive from the center of the community. Anyone in need of a dentist near Orangevale can count on Dr. Brad Coons and our Folsom office for checkups, implants, extractions and everything between. We look after young children, busy parents and retirees alike, so three generations can share one dental office.
From the Orangevale Library at 8820 Greenback Lane, turn onto Beech Avenue and then head east on Greenback Lane. Stay on it through the Folsom-Auburn Road intersection; farther east in Folsom it becomes Riley Street. Turn left onto East Bidwell Street, and at the Hana Way signal, turn in. In all it is about 5.6 miles and 12 minutes.
You will find us at 785 Hana Way Ste 201, Folsom, CA 95630, close to Mercy Hospital of Folsom; our Google Maps page has the exact pin. Patients from American River Canyon on the Folsom side of the line and from Fair Oaks to the south reach us by similar routes.
Orangevale Patients of Every Generation Are Welcome
Orangevale is an unincorporated community in Sacramento County, home to roughly 35,500 people on rolling hills at the base of the Sierra Nevada foothills. It began as the Orange Vale Colony, carved from the Rancho San Juan land grant, and was once known for orange groves and olive orchards. Some of the original olive trees still line Chestnut, Orangevale, Main and Walnut avenues.
Local parks are run by the Orangevale Recreation and Park District. Orangevale Community Park spreads across about 76 acres and includes the Shady Oaks Disc Golf Course, while the Community Center Park on Hazel Avenue has a swimming pool. Pecan Park adds a dog park and tennis and basketball courts, and Casa Roble Fundamental High School serves teens from the northern part of the community.
Roughly three out of four occupied homes are owner-occupied, which gives the community a settled, stay-a-while character. Citrus Heights lies to the west, and Granite Bay sits to the northeast. For a practice like ours, that means building relationships that last, with records and care plans that follow each person through the years.
Dental Needs Across the Ages in Orangevale
Orangevale's age mix is broad. About one in five residents is under 18, and about one in five is 65 or older. Those two groups need very different things from a dentist, and a practice serving the community has to do both well.
For children and teens, the focus is prevention. Regular cleanings, exams and digital x-rays catch cavities while they are small, and good habits formed early tend to stick. For older adults, the conversation often turns to replacing teeth lost over the years, protecting worn teeth with crowns and keeping gums healthy around older dental work.
Dental implants are a common topic for that second group. An implant stands on its own without reshaping the teeth next to it, and Dr. Coons places them in our office with guided surgical placement planned from a CBCT 3D scan. Our page on dental implant candidacy outlines who tends to qualify, and new patients can book a free implant consultation to find out.
Between those two ends of life sit the parents, who are often the ones most likely to skip their own appointments. A filling that has started to crack or a back tooth that aches when you bite down tends to get pushed aside while everyone else's needs come first. Our CEREC system can rebuild a broken tooth with a crown in just one visit, and root canal therapy is done in-house when a tooth's nerve is involved. Getting those repairs done promptly usually keeps them simpler.
Treatments From a Dentist Near Orangevale
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings and exams protect the grandkids' first teeth and Grandpa's fillings alike. Orangevale families can coordinate visits so everyone stays on a regular schedule.
Dental Implants
Implants replace missing teeth with a root-like post and a natural-looking crown. Placement happens in-house, guided by 3D imaging, with no outside surgeon needed.
Tooth Extractions
Sometimes a damaged tooth or a wisdom tooth needs to come out. Dr. Coons's oral surgery training lets him handle extractions in our office, and IV sedation is available for anxious patients.
Dental Bridges
When an implant is not the plan, a fixed bridge spans the gap using the teeth on each side as anchors. It brings back a full row of teeth for chewing and smiling.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is The Folsom Dentist from Orangevale, and how do I get there?
From the Orangevale Library it is about 5.6 miles, a drive of around 12 minutes. Nearly all of it is on Greenback Lane, which turns into Riley Street before you reach East Bidwell Street and Hana Way. That single main road makes a dentist near Orangevale easy to reach even for patients who prefer simple routes.
Can grandparents and grandchildren see the same dentist?
Yes, Dr. Coons treats patients of all ages, from young children to seniors. That lets families keep everyone's care in one office, and our membership plan has a Child tier for kids 12 and under and an Adult tier for everyone older. Keeping everyone together also means one set of records and one team who knows the family.
Can I replace one missing tooth without changing the teeth next to it?
Yes, a single dental implant replaces one tooth without reshaping its neighbors. The implant post sits in the jawbone and supports its own crown, unlike a bridge, which relies on the teeth on either side. Dr. Coons uses CBCT 3D imaging to confirm there is enough bone before recommending an implant.
How often should older adults have a dental checkup?
Twice a year is the usual rhythm for adults of any age. Those visits let Dr. Coons check fillings, crowns and gums that have been in place a long time, and spot dry mouth or wear before they cause damage. Patients with gum concerns may be advised to come in more often, based on what the exam shows.
Will your office file my dental insurance claims?
Yes, our team files claims for you. We accept many PPO insurance plans and will help you understand what your coverage includes before treatment begins. If you have no insurance, the In-Office Membership Plan and discounts for uninsured patients are two other ways to keep routine care affordable.
