Dr. Priyanka Saxena has been practicing dentistry since 2003 and holds dual dental degrees, a DDS from the highly regarded UCSF School of Dentistry, San Francisco, California and a BDS from Mumbai, India. A recipient of the ‘Outstanding Peer Award’ at UCSF and an honors student, she has always stood out for her commitment to excellence.

Dr. Saxena’s practice approach is rooted in preventive care, with a firm belief in “Saving Every Tooth” whenever possible.

She takes time to understand your unique dental needs, focusing on providing the most appropriate, comfortable treatments for each patient. And outside of her practice, you’ll find her running half-marathons with her husband, swimming with her two daughters, or cooking up family favorites. Her energetic Goldendoodle dog, Bambi, keeps her busy too!

Our modern office is equipped with the latest technology and designed to feel like a welcoming retreat. From the moment you walk in, you’ll be greeted by a caring, skilled team ready to help you maintain a healthy, radiant smile.

Our Philosophy

Your smile is part of your whole health story.


Dr. Saxena doesn't just treat teeth — she treats people. Every appointment begins with listening: understanding your concerns, your lifestyle, and your goals before a single instrument is picked up.

Her approach is rooted in preventive care. By addressing small issues early and pairing treatment with guidance on nutrition and healthy habits, she helps you build a foundation for a lifetime of confident, radiant health.

Her office is 100% mercury-free, using only biocompatible materials chosen for safety and long-lasting results — because what goes in your mouth matters.

Your smile is part of your whole health story.

Beyond the Chair

The person behind your smile.


Dr. Saxena's warmth isn't something she switches on at work — it's simply who she is. Her patients often say she makes them feel like they're catching up with a friend, not sitting in a dental chair.

That energy follows her everywhere. When she's not caring for patients, you'll find her chasing half-marathon finish lines with her husband, splashing in the pool with her two daughters, and trying (mostly successfully) to tire out Bambi — their very enthusiastic Goldendoodle.
