Dr. Epstein's Newspaper Article! 


Creating smiles that outwardly reflect the beauty and vitality his patients feel on the inside is the goal and continued reality at the office of Dr. David W. Epstein. A graduate and part-time faculty member at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco, Dr. Epstein completed his residency at the VA Hospital in San Antonio, Texas where he was trained extensively in restorative and cosmetic dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, implantology and anesthesiology. He offers full service dentistry and has trained with specialists to perform root canal therapy, periodontal surgery, fixed and removable prosthetics, and TMJ therapy.

"We take pride in creating the most comfortable, relaxing, and friendly atmosphere we can provide for our guests," comments Dr. Epstein. The ambiance begins with the location of the modern-style office in the foothills of Novato California in Marin county, just 20 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Upon arrival to the office, patients will find television, music, and movies available in each operatory, making the procedure they are undergoing their secondary focus during their appointments. For those with dental phobias, Dr. Epstein provides nitrous oxide, oral and IV conscious sedation to ease patients into a relaxed state of mind, making heir visits seem more like a dream than reality

Dr. Epstein is a member of the ADA, CDA, Marin County Dental Society, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the Academy of General Dentistry, the American Society of Dental Anesthesiologists, the American College of Implant Dentistry, the International Congress of Oral Implantologists.  He is also a part-time faculty member at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry.


Dr. Epstein and Staff's MISSION STATEMENT

To unconditionally commit to excellence in everything we do,

To love and take care of people so well, they regard us as their second family,

practice Vision.

To provide only the highest "quality of care" with love and respect

To respect our work environment and take care of it as if it were our own homes

To regard each and every person in the practice as family

And to act in a professional manner at all times.


Our practice is devoted to restoring and enhancing the natural beauty of your smile using conservative,  procedures that will result in beautiful, long lasting smiles!

High Standards

A standard of excellence in personalized dental care enables us to provide the quality dental services our patients deserve.  We provide comprehensive treatment planning and use restorative and cosmetic dentistry to achieve your optimal dental health.  Should a dental emergency occur, we make every effort to see and care for you as soon as possible.

Education & Prevention

As a practice, we are true believers that preventative care and education are the keys to optimal dental health.  We strive to provide “dental health care” versus “disease care”.  That is why we focus on comprehensive exams – checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking digital x-rays when necessary.  We also know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease.  Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, we are also concerned about your health.  A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.

Uncompromising Safety

Infection control in our office is also very important to us.  To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes using "Universal Precautions," standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).

Training & Expertise

As your dental health professionals, we want you to be confident knowing that we are a team of highly trained and skilled clinicians.  We pride ourselves in providing the care you need to keep your smile healthy.  To give you the best possible service and results, we are committed to continuing education and learning.  Our team attends dental lectures, meetings, and dental conventions to stay informed of new techniques, the latest products, and the newest equipment that a modern dental office can utilize to provide the most up to date evidence-based dental care.

A Positive Experience

Building a foundation of trust by treating our patients as special individuals is vital to our success.  We understand how uneasy some patients may feel about their dental visits, and how we can make a difference in providing a relaxing and positive experience.  Our entire team is dedicated to providing you with excellent, personalized care and service to make your visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

Dr. Epstein is also certified by the state of California in Conscious Sedation, which includes oral sedation and IV Sedation. So if you are fearful, ask us about sleeping through your treatment.

We thank you for allowing us to take care of your dental needs and look forward to serving you.
