Convenient Access from Broadstone
One long, straight run up East Bidwell Street connects Broadstone with The Folsom Dentist. Our Folsom office sits on Hana Way in the center of the city, about 2 miles northwest of the shops at Palladio, and most trips take around 5 minutes. Students, young professionals and families looking for a dentist near Broadstone can reach us without touching the freeway.
Starting at Handy Family Park on Cavitt Drive, follow Cavitt Drive to Kilrush Drive and head southwest to East Bidwell Street. Turn northwest on East Bidwell and stay on it for roughly 2 miles, passing Folsom Lake College along the way. Hana Way, where our building stands, meets East Bidwell at a traffic signal across from Woodsmoke Way, and the whole drive is about 2.3 miles.
The office address is 785 Hana Way Ste 201, Folsom, CA 95630, and a quick search on Google Maps will show the turn. Mercy Hospital of Folsom is about 0.2 miles north of Hana Way if you want a landmark to watch for. Neighboring Willow Springs is a short drive from us as well, and Los Cerros sits directly across East Bidwell from our door.
Where Broadstone Patients Fit In
Broadstone is a master-planned part of Folsom in Sacramento County, spread along East Bidwell Street and Iron Point Road on the north side of US-50. The City of Folsom filed the Broadstone 3 Specific Plan in 1991, covering more than 570 acres of what had been agricultural land. That plan set aside room for single-family homes, apartments, offices and shopping, so the area mixes homes with workplaces and stores.
The Palladio at Broadstone, an open-air shopping and dining center, sits on East Bidwell Street near US-50. Handy Family Park on Cavitt Drive serves the homes nearby, and Broadstone Parkway runs east to Vista del Lago High School. The Folsom Sports Complex, a city recreation facility on Clarksville Road, is close by as well.
Education shapes the area's rhythm as well. Vista del Lago opened in 2007 to serve east Folsom, and Folsom Lake College sits between Broadstone and our office on East Bidwell. With a high school and a college this close, Broadstone is home to many teens and young adults, and US-50 links it with El Dorado Hills and Rancho Cordova.
Dental Questions Common Among Broadstone Teens and Young Adults
The late teens and early twenties bring a predictable set of dental questions. Wisdom teeth begin to come in, orthodontic goals that were put off in middle school resurface, and students who just aged off a family insurance plan start wondering how to pay for a cleaning. A nearby dentist who handles all of that under one roof makes life simpler.
Wisdom teeth are a good example. Dr. Brad Coons completed advanced oral surgery training at the University of the Pacific specifically for third-molar extractions, so Broadstone patients can usually have them evaluated and removed in our office. For anyone who feels uneasy about oral surgery, he is also trained to provide IV sedation, and new patients can book a free IV sedation consultation to talk it through.
Straightening is another frequent topic. Clear aligners appeal to students and young professionals who would rather not wear brackets, and our page on whether you qualify for Invisalign covers the basics. New patients can then book a free Invisalign consultation, which includes a digital scan and a smile evaluation.
Budget matters at this stage of life too. New patients who have no dental insurance and no gum disease can start with our $49 cleaning, exam and x-ray, and the adult tier of our membership plan begins at age 13. Those two options make it easier for a Broadstone student to keep up with preventive care between semesters.
Treatment Options for Patients Seeking a Dentist Near Broadstone
Tooth Extractions
Wisdom teeth, badly broken teeth and teeth that cannot be saved are removed in our office. Dr. Coons's oral surgery training lets patients stay with a dentist they already know.
Invisalign®
Clear, removable aligners gradually move teeth into better alignment. Many students and young professionals like that they come out for meals and photos.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Whitening and porcelain veneers can refresh a smile before graduation, a job search or a wedding. New patients can start with a free porcelain veneer consultation.
Preventative Dentistry
Regular cleanings and exams catch cavities before they hurt. They also give Dr. Coons a chance to watch developing wisdom teeth over time.
Crowns & Veneers
Our CEREC system can complete a crown in just one visit, which helps busy students and commuters. Veneers cover the front of teeth to change their shape or color.
Timing is often the hardest part for this age group. Our hours are Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, so many students book around a class schedule or a light day at work. Because the drive takes only a few minutes, a visit fits between other commitments far more easily than a trip across the county would.
Planning ahead also helps. If you know wisdom teeth or aligners are on the horizon, an exam during a school break gives Dr. Coons time to review your x-rays and map out the next steps. Our iTero scanner creates a digital model of your teeth for aligner planning, which makes it easy to see how your smile could change.
Meet Your Folsom Dental Team

Insurance, Membership & Financing
Many PPO insurance plans are accepted here, and we submit claims for you.

Uninsured patients receive discounts and can also join the In-Office Membership Plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is The Folsom Dentist from Broadstone, and how do I get there?
Handy Family Park on Cavitt Drive is about 2.3 miles from our office, roughly a 5-minute drive. Take Kilrush Drive to East Bidwell Street, then follow East Bidwell northwest about 2 miles to Hana Way. For anyone who wants a dentist near Broadstone, that means one main road and very few turns.
Can I get an affordable cleaning if I'm a student without insurance?
Yes. New patients with no dental insurance and no gum disease qualify for our $49 cleaning, exam and x-ray. After that, the In-Office Membership Plan costs $487 a year for anyone 13 or older and includes two cleanings, two exams, annual x-rays and 10% off all services.
How do I know if I qualify for Invisalign?
The simplest way is a free Invisalign consultation, which is available to new patients. Dr. Coons takes a digital scan of your teeth and evaluates your smile and bite. He then explains whether clear aligners can reach your goals or whether another approach would work better for your teeth.
Which financing companies do you work with?
We work with CareCredit, Proceed Finance, Cherry and Sunbit. Some treatments can also be paid through in-house financing arranged with our office. Each company sets its own terms, so it is worth comparing them before you schedule larger treatment. Our team can show you where to apply.
Do wisdom teeth always need to come out?
No. Some wisdom teeth grow in straight, stay healthy and can be cleaned like any other molar. Others become trapped, crowd nearby teeth or are hard to keep clean, and those are often better removed. Dr. Coons checks their position at your exams and recommends extraction only when it makes sense for you.
