Montclair & Piedmont Dental Offices Debut Art Rooms Featuring Local Artists
Total Health Dental Care is excited to announce something truly special happening in our Oakland, CA, dental clinics — the debut of our new art installation initiative at our Montclair and Piedmont dental offices!
What started as a vision to create a more welcoming, Apple Store-inspired environment has blossomed into something much more meaningful: a platform to support local artists and bring our community closer together through the transformative power of art.
Bringing Art Into Your Dental Clinic
Total Health Dental Care believes the healthcare experience should be about more than just treatment. That's why we're introducing our innovative Art Room concept, designed to transform your dental visit into something truly meaningful and calming.
Our new art installation represents a fundamental shift in how we think about healthcare environments. By incorporating carefully curated artwork into our dental offices, we're creating spaces that promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, and foster a sense of community connection. This initiative aligns perfectly with our dentistry philosophy, recognizing that emotional comfort and mental well-being are integral parts of overall health and the dental experience.
The Art Room is about creating an environment where healing can happen on multiple levels. When you walk into our offices, you'll immediately notice the warmth and openness that art brings to the space, making your dental care experience more comfortable and personally enriching.
Featured Artist at Montclair Dental Location – Jeff Cohen
We're proud to showcase the remarkable work of Jeff Cohen at our Montclair office. Cohen brings a unique perspective to his art, combining his background as both a psychotherapist and former architect to create paintings that explore the depths of human emotion through masterful use of color, line, and texture.
Cohen’s artistic journey reflects a deep understanding of how physical spaces and visual elements can impact our emotional state—making his work perfectly suited for our dental environment. His paintings invite viewers to pause, reflect, and find moments of peace amidst the complexities of daily life. Each piece tells a story of resilience, healing, and human connection.
Visit Jeff Cohen's Art at Our Montclair Dental Office Location:
6201 Antioch Street, Suite 102, Oakland, CA 94611
Hours:
Monday-Thursday
8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
The art viewing is complimentary for all visitors, whether you're a dental patient or simply an art enthusiast looking to support local artists.
Featured Artist at Piedmont Dental Location – Sara Divya
Our original Piedmont office is home to the beautiful and contemplative work of Sara Divya, an artist whose paintings invite stillness, wonder, and a profound sense of belonging. Divya’s art creates an atmosphere of tranquility that perfectly complements our commitment to providing compassionate, patient-centered care.
Divya's artistic style focuses on themes that speak to the human experience of finding peace and connection in our fast-paced world. Her work encourages viewers to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with themselves—exactly the kind of mindful experience we want to create for our patients. Through gentle brushstrokes and thoughtful composition, Sara's paintings transform our dental office into a sanctuary of calm and reflection.
Experience Sara Divya's Art at Our Piedmont Location:
1880 Pleasant Valley Avenue, Suite F, Oakland, CA 94611
Hours:
Tuesday-Friday
8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Like our Montclair exhibit, Sara Divya's art is free to view during regular office hours. We encourage community art project enthusiasts and anyone interested in experiencing local talent to visit and immerse themselves in her inspiring work.
Supporting Local Artists Through Our Montclair & Piedmont Dental Offices
One of the most meaningful aspects of our Art Room initiative is our commitment to support local artists directly. Art has the power to heal, inspire, and bring communities together. We want to ensure that the talented artists who create these transformative experiences are fairly compensated for their contributions.
That's why 100% of all art sale proceeds go directly to the artists themselves. When you purchase a piece from Jeff Cohen or Sara Divya, you're not just acquiring beautiful artwork—you're making a direct investment in local creativity and supporting the vibrant arts community that makes our Bay Area neighborhoods so special.
Enhancing the Patient Experience Beyond Dentistry
Our Art Room initiative is part of a broader transformation designed to make your dental experience as comfortable and welcoming as possible. Inspired by the clean, open design principles of Apple Stores, we've reimagined our office spaces to promote feelings of calm, connection, and openness.
Research consistently shows that exposure to art can significantly reduce stress and anxiety, important benefits in healthcare settings. By incorporating carefully selected artwork into our dental offices, we're creating an environment where our patients can find moments of peace and reflection before, during, and after their treatments.
We understand that visiting the dentist can sometimes feel stressful, and we're dedicated to transforming that experience into something positive and enriching.
Our design updates also include more open floor plans, natural lighting, and comfortable seating areas where visitors can truly appreciate the artwork and feel at ease. These changes reflect our understanding that the environment plays a crucial role in healing, wellness, and dental services.
