Convenient Access from Fair Oaks
If you want a dentist near Fair Oaks who can handle everything from a routine cleaning to a full set of implant-supported teeth, The Folsom Dentist is about a 15-minute drive east. Our Folsom office is home to Dr. Brad Coons, a general dentist who places dental implants, restores them with crowns and performs root canals in the same building. You can stay with one dentist from the first exam through the final restoration.
The simplest way over starts at the Fair Oaks Library, next to Fair Oaks Park. Turn onto Madison Avenue and follow it east for roughly four miles, where it becomes Greenback Lane and carries you into Folsom. Take Riley Street south, then East Bidwell Street southeast to Hana Way, a 7.8-mile trip with no freeway and no tolls. We are at 785 Hana Way Ste 201, Folsom, CA 95630, where Hana Way meets East Bidwell at a traffic signal, about two-tenths of a mile from Mercy Hospital of Folsom; open our listing in Google Maps for turn-by-turn help.
Two neighboring communities have their own pages as well. Gold River sits just across the American River to the south, and Orangevale lies to the northeast along the same Madison and Greenback corridor.
A Neighborly Dental Home for Fair Oaks
Fair Oaks began in the 1890s as a citrus colony, when settlers bought five- to 20-acre tracts above the American River. Today the community sits between Carmichael to the west and Citrus Heights to the north, and Fair Oaks Village remains its town center. The Veterans Memorial Amphitheatre there hosts the Fair Oaks Theater Festival and a chicken festival each September.
The river ties the two communities together in a very literal way. The American River Parkway runs 32 miles through Sacramento County, and the Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail follows it all the way to Folsom. Walkers and cyclists still cross the historic Fair Oaks Bridge, which was built between 1907 and 1909 and now carries only pedestrians and bikes.
Dr. Coons lives in Folsom and spends his free time on the same trails, rivers and lakes that draw so many locals outdoors. Having one dentist oversee your care matters when a crown, a bridge or an implant needs years of follow-up. Families who use the parks run by the Fair Oaks Recreation & Park District will find our office an easy add-on to a day spent along the river.
The community is also home to plenty of families. San Juan Unified School District serves Fair Oaks, with Bella Vista High School and Del Campo High School among its campuses. Households with teens and grandparents under one roof can keep everyone with the same practice, from routine cleanings to more involved restorative work.
Dental Priorities for a Mature Fair Oaks Community
Fair Oaks skews older. The 2020 census put its median age in the late 40s, and roughly one in four residents was 65 or older. For many households here, the big dental questions involve keeping natural teeth healthy, replacing teeth that are failing and making older dental work last.
That is where in-house implant care helps. Dr. Coons plans implants with CBCT 3D imaging and guided surgical placement, so the planning, the surgery and the final crown all happen at one address. New patients can book a free dental implant consultation, and our page on dental implants candidacy explains what the evaluation looks at.
Schedule matters too. The office is open Monday through Thursday, 9 AM to 5 PM, which works well for retirees who prefer a mid-morning or early-afternoon visit. The drive also stays on surface streets the whole way.
Gum health deserves attention at every age, and regular cleanings let Dr. Coons catch small changes before they become bigger problems. If an existing crown or filling is worn, he can usually explain the choices at the same exam, with digital x-rays on screen so you can see what he sees.
Saving a natural tooth is usually worth the effort. Root canal therapy, performed in-house, removes infection from inside a tooth so it can stay in place, and a crown then protects what remains. Dr. Coons will explain whether a tooth can be saved or whether replacement is the better long-term choice.
Not every visit can be planned ahead. If a tooth breaks or starts to ache and you are new to the practice, the free emergency exam and x-ray gives you a focused look at the problem and clear treatment recommendations. We strive to fit you into our schedule with an emergency dental exam.
Some people put off implant surgery or a long restorative visit because of nerves. Dr. Coons is trained to provide IV sedation, and new patients can book a free IV sedation consultation to talk through whether it suits them.
Treatment Options from a Dentist Near Fair Oaks
Dental Implants
An implant replaces a missing tooth root and supports a natural-looking crown. Patients replacing one tooth or several can have the whole process handled in Folsom, including full-arch fixed teeth when a larger restoration makes sense.
Crowns & Veneers
Crowns protect cracked or heavily filled teeth, a common need as older fillings start to wear. With CEREC, many crowns can be designed, milled and placed in just one visit.
Dental Bridges
A bridge fills a gap by anchoring a replacement tooth to the teeth on either side. It is a fixed option some Fair Oaks patients choose when an implant is not the right fit for them.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns and other repairs bring damaged teeth back to comfortable everyday use. Dr. Coons reviews older restorations at each exam so worn work can be replaced on your own timeline.
Preventative Dentistry
Twice-yearly cleanings and exams remain the best defense for teeth and gums at any age. They also give you a regular chance to check implants, bridges and crowns for wear.
Once a new crown or veneer is in place, a little daily care goes a long way. Our guide to caring for crowns and veneers long-term covers brushing, flossing and the habits that help restorations last.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is The Folsom Dentist from Fair Oaks, and how do I get there?
From the Fair Oaks Library, our office is about 7.8 miles away, roughly a 15-minute drive. Follow Madison Avenue east until it becomes Greenback Lane, then take Riley Street and East Bidwell Street to Hana Way. For anyone who wants a dentist near Fair Oaks without a freeway commute, the whole trip stays on surface streets.
Is the dental implant consultation free for new patients?
Yes. New patients can book a dental implant consultation at no charge. Dr. Coons reviews your health history, examines the area where a tooth is missing and explains how CBCT 3D imaging helps plan placement, then walks you through the options that fit your situation, from a single implant to a full arch.
Can you replace a full arch of missing teeth with fixed implant teeth?
Yes. The practice offers full-arch fixed teeth supported by dental implants, and Dr. Coons handles the planning and placement in-house. Guided surgical placement helps position each implant according to a digital plan. A consultation comes first, because the right approach depends on your bone, gums and overall health.
Can you replace an old crown that feels loose or worn?
Yes. Dr. Coons first examines the crown and takes x-rays to check the tooth underneath for decay or cracks. If the tooth is sound, a new crown can often be designed and placed with CEREC in one visit. If there is a deeper problem, he explains what the tooth needs before any crown work begins.
Can I finance dental implants or other major treatment?
Yes. The practice works with CareCredit, Proceed Finance, Cherry and Sunbit, and offers in-house financing for certain treatments. Patients without insurance also receive discounts. Our team can talk through the choices once Dr. Coons has a treatment plan, so you know the full cost before you decide how to pay.
