Dentist on Piedmont Avenue: Piedmont Ave, Rockridge, and the City of Piedmont
The Total Health Dental Care office for Piedmont Avenue is at 1880 Pleasant Valley Avenue, Suite F, Oakland, CA 94611, just off the top of Piedmont Avenue. It is the original Total Health Dental Care office, the one the whole 13 office group grew from, and it is led by Dr. Anastasia Calciano. It is open Tuesday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, has a free parking lot behind the building plus free street parking, takes every major PPO, and puts the price of every treatment in writing before it starts. One honest note up front: the office is on the second floor and is not wheelchair accessible. If you need step free access, the Temescal, Grand Avenue, or Montclair offices are all within a few minutes.

Is the Piedmont office in Piedmont or in Oakland?
Oakland. The office sits in the Piedmont Avenue district of Oakland, on Pleasant Valley Avenue near where it meets Piedmont Avenue, a few blocks from the Highway 24 and 580 interchange. The separate City of Piedmont, the small residential city surrounded on all sides by Oakland, starts a short drive east. Both communities use this office: residents of the City of Piedmont come down the hill, and Piedmont Avenue and Rockridge residents walk or drive over. When the practice says Piedmont office, it means the neighborhood, not the city, and the street address makes that clear.
Who works at the Piedmont Avenue office?
Dr. Anastasia Calciano leads the office. She is a general dentist, and the practice describes her as blending careful dentistry with a personal manner that puts nervous patients at ease, which matters because the original office attracts a lot of long term patients who have been coming for years. The office offers the full general menu: cleanings and exams, fillings, same day crowns, root canal treatment, wisdom teeth removal, gum care, Invisalign and traditional braces, implants, sleep apnea treatment, and emergency care. Specialty procedures that need an oral surgeon, endodontist, periodontist, or orthodontist are done by the in house specialists at the Rotunda Specialty Center downtown, so there is no outside referral and no separate specialist office to find.
How do you get there and where do you park?
The address is 1880 Pleasant Valley Avenue, Suite F. Coming up Piedmont Avenue from the MacArthur end, the office is near the top, close to the Pleasant Valley intersection and the Kaiser Oakland Medical Center campus on Broadway. From Rockridge, it is a short drive down Pleasant Valley from the Broadway and College Avenue side. From the City of Piedmont, take Highland or Oakland Avenue down and across to Pleasant Valley. Parking is the easy part: a free dedicated lot behind the office, plus free street parking around the building. That makes this the most parking friendly of the central Oakland offices. Hours are Tuesday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. The phone is (510) 654-5752, and online booking is open around the clock.
Which office is closest if you live in Rockridge or the City of Piedmont?
Four Total Health Dental Care offices ring this part of Oakland, and the right one depends on where you start and whether you need elevator access.
| Office | Address | Hours | Best for | Parking and access |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Piedmont | 1880 Pleasant Valley Ave. Suite F, Oakland 94611 | Tue to Fri, 8 to 5 | Piedmont Avenue, City of Piedmont, upper Rockridge | Free lot behind the office plus free street parking. Second floor, not wheelchair accessible. |
| Temescal | 407 41st Street, Oakland 94609 | Mon to Thu, 8 to 5 | Lower Rockridge, Temescal, MacArthur BART | Free street parking, converted house |
| Grand Ave | 3931 Grand Avenue, Oakland 94610 | Mon to Thu, 8 to 5 | South side of the City of Piedmont, Grand Lake, Lakeshore | Street parking |
| Montclair | 6201 Antioch St. Suite 102, Oakland 94611 | Mon to Fri, 8 to 5 | Oakland hills, east side of the City of Piedmont | Parking garage on La Salle Avenue plus street parking |
Rockridge splits naturally: the College Avenue and Rockridge BART end is closer to Temescal, while the upper streets toward Broadway Terrace are closer to Piedmont. Hours can change, so confirm by phone or online before you drive over. The Montclair guide and the Lake Merritt guide cover the neighboring areas in the same detail.
Who does the Piedmont Avenue office serve?
This is one of the most settled parts of Oakland: long term homeowners along Piedmont Avenue and in the City of Piedmont, professionals who work at Kaiser or downtown, retirees, and a large number of self employed people and small business owners along the avenue itself. Many of them are past the age where dental insurance through an employer is a given, and that is the group the practice is built for. A 55 year old who owns a shop on Piedmont Avenue and has no dental plan is exactly the patient the membership program was designed around: accumulated dental needs, the means to fix them, and no interest in being over treated or surprised by a bill.
What if you do not have dental insurance?
Two in house plans replace insurance entirely. The $300 Cleaning Plan covers two professional cleanings a year with ozone treatment included, unlimited exams and X rays, and an oral cancer screening at every visit, against roughly $710 at retail. The $600 Loyalty Plan, about $1.65 a day, adds 50 percent off every treatment, general or specialty, with no exclusions, up to $2,000 in savings a year, which is double the $1,000 annual cap a typical insurance plan imposes. It includes direct access to the in house specialists with no referrals and a free Invisalign consultation plus 3D scan at signup, and it carries a 2 year commitment that auto renews with 30 days notice. If you do have insurance, the practice takes every major PPO, including Delta Dental, MetLife, UMR, Guardian, Beam, Cigna, Aetna, Principal, and Anthem Blue Cross, verifies your benefits before the visit, and shows you the cost in writing first. If your plan is not on the list, your first visit is free.
How does the practice keep you from being over treated?
Every recommendation comes as a written, itemized treatment plan with a price next to each line, before anything is done. You are free to take it home, get a second opinion, and come back, and the office says so plainly. Most dentists are honest, but the incentive to add a crown that could wait is real everywhere, and the fix is transparency rather than trust alone. The second opinion guide on crowns covers the questions to ask before agreeing to one.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the office for residents of the City of Piedmont?

Does the office handle emergencies?
Established patients can be seen for urgent problems when the schedule allows. New patients with pain or an emergency should book the pain or emergency option online, which routes to the Rotunda Specialty Center, or read the guide on when to choose the ER versus an emergency dentist.
