At New Era Dentistry in Danville, we recognize our patients as more than just the teeth in their mouths. We treat them as whole people, supporting their overall health and well-being through oral health. Dr. David Partrite has been practicing fluoride-free, mercury-free dentistry for nearly his entire career. Even while still in dental school, he knew there had to be a better, more healthful way to do dentistry and sought additional training accordingly, including under the legendary Dr. Hal Huggins.

When you step into our office, you probably won't feel like you've stepped into a typical dental office. That's because our office is anything but typical! We also offer a healthful environment. If you even think about that typical dental office smell, it's only because you've noticed that it isn't there.
Quality work starts with the right tools. That's why at New Era Dentistry here in Danville, we're constantly investing in the latest equipment to provide you with the highest quality and most comfortable dental experience possible. Instead of taking pictures on film that needs to be developed, we use a digital imaging system that uses a sensor hooked directly into a computer.
We always welcome new patients in our holistic dental office here in Danville, where our focus is on preventive, minimally-invasive dentistry and treating the whole person. We strive to provide you with five-star service from your very first visit through the duration of our relationship! All new patients must have a dental exam and current x-rays before we can provide further treatment. If you have a full mouth set of x-rays that are less than a year old, we may be able to use those instead of taking new ones.
It's one thing to be mercury-free and never repair teeth with mercury amalgam. It's quite another to be mercury-safe - to protect patients, ourselves, and the planet from any mercury amalgam that we handle in our Danville office. New Era Dentistry is both mercury-free and mercury-safe, taking special care to protect you, along with everyone else who comes into our office.

Highly recommend! Even drive across the bay when many other dentists much closer. Skilled and compassionate. First visit consult with Dr Partrite - trust his knowledge and assessment. Dentist visits are a pleasure at New Era. Look forward to semi annual cleaning and checkups with Logan (hygienist)

I live this place, the doctor and the staff. We've been a patient for several years, since Dr. Partrite was the only doctor my daughter would open her mouth for. He's calm, cool, not an alarmist, always opting for only what's necessary and has a great 'bedside manner.' Book ahead and don't cancel, is my only recommendation, as they are hard to schedule with and appointments are hard to come by. Highly recommend.

I'm a new patient as of 4/2023. I am very pleased with my procedure. I needed a fresh approach to my dental health after so many disappointments. So far I and have no regrets and my tooth and crown are feeling great. Almost no pain or discomfort. Amazing! Dr Partrite is on the right road about biomimetic dentistry and I plan to remain a patient even though the drive from Modesto is long. Dr Partrite was sincerely kind and seemed to enjoy keeping up to date with his patients and their family's. I met his staff Jodi, Ashley and Elaina. They all go out of their way to help you. Thank you New Era Dentistry. I'll be back

I am impressed with Dr. Partrite's patience and professionalism. He carefully placed and adjusted a porcelain crown so it will fit perfectly! He is always friendly and explains the procedure clearly which makes me feel safe. Noreen, the hygienist is friendly, kind and does a great job with the cleaning. Ashley and Elina at the front desk are helpful and courteous. I am really happy with Dr. Partrite and his team!

I could not be more satisfied as a patient of Dr Partrite of New Era Dentistry. He professional, highly skilled and educated as a dentist and has state of the art equipment. I had to get an overlay which is similar to a crown. What used to take 2 visits, the first making a mold with gel getting a temp, and then returning for the crown to be installed was done in one visit.

He has a CAD camera that produces a 3D image of your teeth on his computer and after about 15 minutes the crown or/ overlay is made and installed. I was not aware of the CAD camera and it is a time saver and not uncomfortable like making the mold as in past visits.he is also trained to remove mercury fillings(SMART trained) which I also had done. He is holistic too and helps with total health.

He showed me the bacteria in my mouth with a microscope and discussed ways to improve which no dentist has ever done. I am into health and he is just what I was looking for. I wish I had a doctor like him. I would definitely recommend.

Dr. David Patrite is wonderful. He helped open my eyes in understanding how what we eat, really does show up in our health as well as our teeth. This dentist also has an amazing memory - so impressive, as he really does care about each patient and their overall health. I hadn't seen him in a some years and I felt as we talked again like it had just been a few months.

Nice new building! So glad I got went to him to remove my silver fillings that were tainted with mercury - my health, attitude and my energy has only improved without that toxic material. Great dentist!

Dr. Partrite and his entire team ran a wonderful practice - and I could not have been more impressed! I recently moved to TX and am again appreciating how great he and his team were, as I am now working with a new practice. I never had wait times; Dr. Partrite and his staff were extremely friendly and courteous; and I was always certain that he recommended care and treatments that were in my best interest. I highly and emphatically recommend this practice for anyone looking for a dentist.

This is a follow up review to my initial ones about this dentist. The issues that I was experiencing within days from Partrite poor work on an temporary appliance that I paid $750 for one and a second one $1000 dollars have both been bothering me. When you get these type of temporaries they tell you the price includes as many adjustments as needed.

When I went in with my husband with genuine concerns of pain and pressure on my entire right side of my mouth and Jaw and to get them both adjusted Partrite was not able to adjust the upper appliance due to his lack of knowledge on how to do the adjustments instead he comes up with excuses and gets defensive on why he can't adjust the appliance because it'll start "falling out" to get you out of his office.

Instead about 6 months later he decided to send me a vague letter to find another dentist. I reached out because both my husband and I were confused by the letter since we remained professional and respectful the whole time regardless of all the time and travel wasted with this guy. I asked what was the reason for the letter? His response was because of the issues we've had with the flipper.

So instead of fixing the issue by adjusting the appliance which you basically pay for the service when you buy the appliance he disenrolls patients. After I tried to find other dentists to fix his work on the appliance that has been causing me severe pain and shifting of my arch and teeth the dentists told me I need to go back to him for an adjustment and a have him redo the appliance because basically the material that he used for impression for the flipper shrinks I explained to them that I can't because of he basically disenrolled me over the flipper.

They said they could make me a new one if I want and to try to get my money back to pay for it. The new dentist spoke to him to which Partrite was able to to convince them he did nothing "wrong" and refused to return my money so I can purchase a new appliance. Forward almost 12 months later. My upper arch is narrower and my teeth have shifted as well.

I am dealing with multiple occlusion on the RIGHT side and two teeth one is a lateral front tooth are clicking and moving from the extreme pressure from the upper appliance. The front tooth has experienced the most trauma and currently dealing with significant abscess like pain to the point that my lip or tongue on it/against it makes it move and hurt.

I am unable to bite or apply light pressure using my finger. And guess what? While the pain is still sever When I remove the the upper appliance the pain isn't as significant so I've been having to remove it while I eat to avoid further damage and get some what of relief. Finally I found a dentist last week while I was in so much pain looking to try and get answers on my tooth pain and get images done to make sure the tooth is ok that is willing to adjust both appliances I got from Partrite.

That was able to tell me immediately the following about the upper appliance that has been causing me all the pain: 1) the front tooth pain is caused by the flipper by pushing against it (forward and up )so much trauma to my perfectly healthy tooth that right now it's showing a "start of something" that I am having to do treatment to try and save the tooth and will need the appliance to get adjusted while I wait for a new one to try and save and not lose the tooth.

Never mind that the tooth is loose! I sure hope I don't lose it. All thanks to Partrites negligence. 2)The flipper is uneven and is pushing against the roof of my mouth on the right side. 3) due to it being uneven and thicker on one side it was restricting my tongue (tongue position is essential in order to not develop or exacerbate tmj pain) 4)the tongue position was effecting my airway significantly (effects oxygen). 5) the shifting of the teeth caused my the appliance caused occlusion so the dentist had to shave down perfectly healthy teeth to try and take some pressure of the tooth and give me some relief.

Since I can't even have my mouth at rest without the tooth hurting if touched by other teeth. I hope this review helps people not make the mistake I made by going with this guy for temporary appliances. It's not worth. Here I am spending thousands trying to save a tooth that I might end up losing according to the dentist. There's no guarantee that it will be saved.

Let me guess. Partrite is going to get back on here and get defensive again? Please do not listen to him. I have absolutely no reason to get on here and waste my time typing all this out unless this has All happened and all is true. Feel free to message if you have any further questions.

I found New Era Dentistry as I was looking for a holistic dentist in the area. What a great experience! The staff was super friendly and the service was top notch. Dr Partrite spent time explaining things to me and I never felt rushed. Highly recommend

It really is New Era Dentistry. In addition to the typical cleaning and checkup, I had my oral microbiome tested and got great information on how to manage my gum health. I felt that they really worked with me on my personal goals of care.

Even after a year away it was great to return to New Era. Apparently they had taught me well because I had a good exam a quick and fun cleaning session with Morgan and digging Dr. Partrite's Covid haircut.

I have been coming here for the past 3 years, and this review is long overdue. After having dentists in 4 different states and 2 countries, I am so happy to have found the best ones and best hygienists in California! I'm so comfortable in their hands, and confident that I'm getting the best treatment. The office is extremely clean and beautiful, and everyone is sweet and down to earth. I'm switching my son to this office instead of taking him to the pediatric dentist office, where they push for unnecessary x-rays. My in-laws have been coming here for many years, and they are the ones who highly recommended Dr. Partrite's office. I'm so glad they did!

I love Dr. Partrite. He has been our family dentist for many many years and we have never been disappointed. I love that he practices non-toxic dentistry and I also love how he keeps up with the latest in non-toxic and dental technologies I can't say enough good things about him and his amazing staff. They are the best.

Dr Partrite is awesome. Super kind and gentle, always tells me what to expect to feel during dental procedures He also squeezed me in to repair a filling I broke within 2 days. That was super helpful. He seems to have a wonderful medical mind with a definite holistic approach. I appreciate his commitment to continued research and learning also. He's been a voice of reason during crazy 2020. And Noreen is an awesome hygienist with a positive energy and a kind manner that makes cleanings actually enjoyable. Favorite dentist by far!
