Meet Dr. Priyanka Saxena, DDS
Dr. Saxena’s unique approach to dentistry is what sets her apart from the rest. Her 1-on-1 appointments are designed to make you feel comfortable and relaxed about your smile and overall health. When you visit Dr. Saxena, you’ll be amazed by her attentiveness, friendly and calming nature, and, most importantly, her commitment to your health and wellness.
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. Dr. Saxena views dental health as a part of overall wellness, emphasizing the importance of nutrition and healthy habits alongside treatment. Her office is mercury-free, using only biologically compatible materials for safe, lasting results. Her goal is to make the dental visit of her patients so comfortable and pleasant that they do not neglect future dental care and maintain a healthy mouth for life.

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.

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.
Half-marathon runner — the same endurance she brings to every patient.
Swimmer and proud mom of two active daughters.
Weekend cook, specializing in family favorites and comfort classics.
Bambi the Goldendoodle keeps the whole family on their toes.
