Convenient Access from Gold River
For residents weighing a dentist near Gold River against offices across Sacramento, The Folsom Dentist is a straightforward 15-minute drive east. Our Folsom office on Hana Way is led by Dr. Brad Coons, who restores worn and broken teeth with crowns, root canals, implants and complete smile rebuilds. Many of these treatments happen in our own office rather than through referrals.
Begin at Gold River Discovery Center on Roaring Camp Drive, then follow Poker Flat Drive to Gold Country Boulevard and turn south on Hazel Avenue. Take US-50 east for less than a mile, exit onto Folsom Boulevard heading north, and turn right on Blue Ravine Road. Blue Ravine leads to East Bidwell Street; turn right there, then left onto Hana Way. The drive covers 7.8 miles and usually takes about 15 minutes.
Our address is 785 Hana Way Ste 201, Folsom, CA 95630, near Mercy Hospital of Folsom, and the Google Maps listing will route you in from your own street. We also welcome patients from Fair Oaks, across the American River to the north, and from Orangevale a little farther north.
Gold River Residents Can Rely on Our Practice
Gold River is an unincorporated community in Sacramento County, a planned development of about 25 "villages" set between Rancho Cordova, Folsom and the American River. When Rancho Cordova incorporated, Gold River chose to stay outside the new city, and it remains a census-designated place of just under 8,000 residents. Housing includes detached single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes and a condominium development.
Green space is never far away. Gold River Park, run by the Cordova Recreation and Park District, sits on Gold Country Boulevard between Empire Village and Bret Harte Village. The American River Bike Trail has several access points in the community, including Gold Country Boulevard and Nimbus Road, and Lake Natoma lies just upstream of Nimbus Dam. The Nimbus Fish Hatchery, run by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, raises millions of Chinook salmon a year right on the community's edge.
Families with younger children have Gold River Discovery Center, a San Juan Unified K-8 school, close by. Still, the community's residents skew older, and that shapes what local patients ask us for. We see patients Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Long-Term Dental Health for Gold River Adults
Gold River's median age sits in the mid-50s, and about a third of residents are 65 or older. That profile brings a particular set of dental needs. Teeth that have handled a lifetime of chewing wear down, older fillings crack around the edges, and crowns placed long ago may start to leak or loosen.
Many of those problems are fixable without starting from scratch. A cracked tooth can often be capped with a CEREC crown restored in just one visit, which saves a second trip down US-50. When a tooth's nerve is involved, root canal therapy in our office can preserve it. Once new crowns are in place, our guide on caring for crowns and veneers long-term explains the habits that help them last.
Some patients arrive with several worn, broken or missing teeth at once. For them, full-mouth rehabilitation pulls crowns, implants and other restorations into one coordinated plan instead of a string of separate fixes. Dr. Coons walks through each stage before anything begins, so you always know what comes next and why.
Restorative Care From a Dentist Near Gold River
Full-Mouth Rehabilitation
A complete plan for patients with widespread wear or several failing teeth. Patients get one roadmap that covers function, comfort and appearance together.
Crowns & Veneers
Crowns protect teeth weakened by large or aging fillings, and veneers refresh worn front teeth. CEREC technology lets many crowns be completed at a single appointment.
Root Canal Therapy
An old filling that leaks can let infection reach the nerve. Root canal therapy clears the infection and keeps the natural tooth, done right here in our office.
Restorative Dentistry
Replacing cracked fillings and repairing chipped edges keeps small problems from growing. Regular checkups help us find those weak spots early.
Dental Implants
When a tooth cannot be saved, an implant replaces it with a post and crown that stand on their own. Placement is planned with CBCT 3D imaging and done in-house.
Meet Your Folsom Dental Team
Dr. Brad Coons pursues ongoing education at the Kois Center in Seattle and handles complex cases such as guided implant placement and full-arch fixed teeth in our office.

Insurance, Membership & Financing
Larger restorative plans can be financed through CareCredit, Proceed Finance, Cherry or Sunbit, and in-house financing is available for certain treatments. We accept many PPO insurance plans and file your claims. Patients without insurance receive discounts, and the In-Office Membership Plan covers routine visits for one flat yearly fee.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is The Folsom Dentist from Gold River, and how do I get there?
Plan on about 15 minutes for the 7.8-mile drive from Gold River Discovery Center. Hazel Avenue leads to a short stretch of US-50 east, then Folsom Boulevard, Blue Ravine Road and East Bidwell Street bring you to Hana Way. For anyone wanting a dentist near Gold River, that is a simple trip with only one brief freeway segment.
What is the easiest time of day to drive in for an appointment?
Midday appointments are usually the easiest drive. The route uses a short stretch of US-50, and that freeway runs slower at rush hour, so a late-morning or early-afternoon visit tends to avoid the busiest traffic. Our hours are Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and the front desk can help you choose a time.
What is full-mouth rehabilitation?
Full-mouth rehabilitation is a coordinated plan to rebuild many teeth at once. It can combine crowns, implants, bridges, root canals and other restorations so your bite, comfort and appearance are addressed together. Dr. Coons maps out each step and its order, and treatment can be spread over several visits to suit your schedule and budget.
How can I make my dental crowns last as long as possible?
Good daily care and regular checkups are what keep crowns working longest. Brush twice a day, floss around each crown where it meets the gum, and avoid chewing ice or hard candy. Cleanings let Dr. Coons check the edges of every crown for wear or leakage, so small issues can be repaired early.
Is the porcelain veneer consultation free?
Yes, new patients can book a free porcelain veneer consultation. Dr. Coons looks at the shape, color and wear of your front teeth, talks through your goals and explains whether veneers or another option suits you best. It is a no-cost way to learn what a refreshed smile could look like before committing to treatment.
