Total Health Dental Care · Specialty Center

Specialist care.
Without the runaround.

You shouldn’t have to climb a mountain to get your dental needs met. Book directly with our specialty team and get a clear path to care.

In pain? Call and ask about same-day specialist availability.

Total Health Dental Care’s specialists see patients without a referral. Our oral surgeon, Dr. James Connors; endodontist, Dr. Amanda Lavorini; periodontist, Dr. Irene Louie; and orthodontist, Dr. Darryl Caesar, all work at the Rotunda Specialty Center, 300 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, Suite 100, in downtown Oakland, two blocks from the 12th Street BART station. The center is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Phones are answered seven days a week at (510) 495-1075. Patients in pain are seen the same day, and because all four specialists share one building, most are treated at that first visit. Every patient receives a written estimate before treatment. We accept all PPO plans, and Cherry payment plans are available.

Dental care should be easier

You need help.
Not another phone number.

First, an appointment. Then a referral. More phone calls, another consultation, and another wait for treatment. When you’re hurting, losing sleep, or worried about your teeth, that process can feel exhausting.

At THDC, you can start with our Specialty Center. We help coordinate your appointment, insurance questions, and next steps—so you can focus on getting better.
