Convenient Access from El Dorado Hills
Busy households searching for a dentist near El Dorado Hills will find The Folsom Dentist just across the county line, roughly 13 minutes from the center of the community. Dr. Brad Coons sees children, teens and parents at our Folsom office, so one practice can cover the whole family's cleanings, Invisalign and wisdom teeth. That keeps appointments, records and treatment plans in one place.
From the El Dorado Hills Library at 7455 Silva Valley Parkway, head west on Harvard Way past Oak Ridge High School, then turn south on El Dorado Hills Boulevard to US 50. Ride US 50 west for about 1.7 miles, take the East Bidwell Street exit and continue north about 2.4 miles to Hana Way. The whole trip covers 7.4 miles with no tolls. You will find us at 785 Hana Way Ste 201, Folsom, CA 95630, at the signal where Hana Way meets East Bidwell, close to Mercy Hospital of Folsom (see the office on Google Maps).
Folsom neighborhoods just west of the county line have their own pages too. Empire Ranch is one of the closest, and Folsom Heights sits just south of US 50.
Family-Friendly Care for El Dorado Hills Households
El Dorado Hills started in the early 1960s as a master-planned community. Developer Allan Lindsey and architect Victor Gruen laid it out as residential villages separated by open space, with business parks, golf courses and schools woven in. Names like Park, Saint Andrews, Crown, Governors, Lake Forest and Serrano still define those villages today.
The community sits on the western edge of El Dorado County, between Folsom and Cameron Park. Folsom Lake and the South Fork of the American River form its northern edge, and US 50 runs right through the middle. That freeway makes our office a short hop: about 1.7 miles of the drive is highway, ending at the East Bidwell Street exit.
Local life revolves around schools, sports and parks. The El Dorado Hills Community Services District runs parks, aquatics and youth programs from its Harvard Way offices, right beside the library and Oak Ridge High School. When a calendar is already full of practices and games, a dentist who can see several family members makes life easier.
Oak Ridge High School opened on Harvard Way in 1980 with just over 200 students and now enrolls well over 2,000. Younger children attend schools in the Rescue Union, Buckeye Union and Latrobe elementary districts, depending on where they live. Between school, sports and errands, busy families appreciate fitting dental visits into as few trips as possible.
Smile Milestones Every El Dorado Hills Parent Can Plan For
El Dorado Hills is a family community by the numbers. The 2020 census counted more than 50,000 residents, about a quarter of them under 18, and most households are married couples. That means a lot of growing smiles and a lot of questions about straight teeth, wisdom teeth and keeping cavities away.
Teens and adults who want straighter teeth without metal brackets can start with a free Invisalign consultation for new patients, which includes an iTero digital scan and a smile evaluation. Our page comparing Invisalign vs fixed braces lays out how the two approaches differ, so you can come in with your questions ready.
Wisdom teeth are another common milestone in the late teens and early twenties. Dr. Coons completed advanced oral surgery training at the University of the Pacific for third-molar extractions, so evaluation and removal happen in the same office. He is also trained to provide IV sedation for patients who feel anxious about the procedure.
For younger children, steady routine care matters most. Regular cleanings and exams, plus digital x-rays when they are due, help spot early decay while it is still small and simple to treat.
Accidents happen too, whether on a bike, a court or a playground. If your family is new to the practice and someone breaks or chips a tooth, the free emergency exam and x-ray gives you a focused look at the injury and clear recommendations. Should a damaged tooth need a crown, CEREC lets Dr. Coons design and place many crowns in one visit.
How Our Dentist Near El Dorado Hills Cares for Every Age
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings, exams and x-rays form the backbone of family care. Parents from El Dorado Hills can bring the kids in for routine visits and keep their own checkups on the same schedule.
Invisalign®
Clear, removable aligners straighten teeth gradually and come out for meals and brushing. They suit active teens and adults who would rather avoid fixed brackets and wires.
Tooth Extractions
From impacted wisdom teeth to a tooth that cannot be saved, extractions are handled in-house. Dr. Coons explains each step beforehand and talks through sedation if you want it.
Root Canal Therapy
A root canal removes infected tissue from inside a tooth so you can keep it. Treating the tooth early often means a simpler visit and less time away from work or school.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Professional whitening and porcelain veneers can freshen a smile before a graduation, a wedding or family photos. New patients can book a free porcelain veneer consultation to explore options.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is The Folsom Dentist from El Dorado Hills, and how do I get there?
Our office is 7.4 miles from the El Dorado Hills Library, about 13 minutes by car. Take El Dorado Hills Boulevard to US 50 west, exit at East Bidwell Street and drive north to Hana Way. It makes us a practical dentist near El Dorado Hills for families who want a short, toll-free trip.
What would the membership plan cost for two parents and two young kids?
About $1,748 a year in total. Each adult membership is $487 and each child membership, for ages 12 and under, is $387. Every member gets two cleanings, two exams and annual x-rays, plus 10% off all services, with no deductibles, yearly maximums or waiting periods. Children move to the adult rate at 13.
Is Invisalign a good alternative to braces for my teenager?
It can be, depending on how the teeth need to move. Dr. Coons provides Invisalign in-house and decides whether aligners suit your teen after an exam and a digital scan. Aligners come out for meals and brushing, so your teen needs the discipline to wear them as directed.
Will I be able to see what the dentist sees during my exam?
Yes. Intraoral cameras put close-up images of your teeth on a screen, and digital x-rays appear right away for you to review. Dr. Coons uses these pictures to explain what he finds, whether it is a small cavity, a worn filling or a cracked tooth, so you can make decisions with the facts in front of you.
How much extra time should I allow for a morning appointment?
Leave a little margin beyond the usual 13 minutes. US 50 westbound slows during the morning rush hour, which affects the stretch between El Dorado Hills Boulevard and East Bidwell Street. A late-morning or early-afternoon slot avoids most of that traffic, and the office is open Monday through Thursday, 9 AM to 5 PM.
