Douglas S. Mitchell, D.M.D.
In 1984, I proudly founded my dental practice in the heart of my hometown, Alameda. My father, the beloved Dr. Alan Mitchell, a local pediatrician renowned for his kindness, honesty, and commitment to quality, inspired my career. His legacy became the bedrock of our practice, where I have cultivated trusting, enduring doctor-patient relationships for over forty years.
Throughout my career, I have witnessed and embraced the incredible evolution of dental technology and techniques, reshaping the landscape of patient care. Our state-of-the-art laser technology has transformed restorative work into a painless experience, often eliminating the need for numbing. Crafting crowns and bridges in a single appointment, without impressions, has become a reality. We've even ventured into treating issues like snoring, with a goal to enhance overall well-being.
The integration of advanced digital radiography and 3D imaging has broadened our diagnostic horizons beyond teeth and jaws, allowing us to uncover hidden pathologies and airway concerns. Our commitment to adopting cutting-edge technology is fueled by a sincere desire to provide the best possible care to our valued patients.
What truly sets us apart is our unwavering dedication to comprehensive exams and patient education. Many have shared, "I've never had an exam that thorough, with everything explained so well!" Our mission is clear – to create a comfortable and reassuring environment, empowering our patients with knowledge.
An exciting chapter unfolded when my daughter, Dr. Taylor Kent, joined me in practice. Her expertise, warmth, and professionalism continually impress me. Together, we strive to uphold the Mitchell Family Dentistry legacy, ensuring that every patient receives personalized and compassionate care.
To our valued patients, thank you for being an integral part of our dental family. Your trust and smiles fuel our passion. Here's to many more years of transforming smiles and building legacies.
