Services
Dental Implants
Restore missing teeth with advanced dental implant technology in Walnut Creek. Using CBCT imaging for precise planning and surgical guides, our dentists provide stable, long-lasting solutions that mimic natural tooth function. Ideal for patients seeking permanent tooth replacement options that maintain jawbone health and facial structure while offering improved chewing capability and aesthetic enhancement.
Porcelain Veneers
Achieve a perfect smile with custom porcelain veneers that address discoloration, chips, and misalignment. Our thin, durable ceramic shells bond to tooth surfaces for dramatic aesthetic improvements while maintaining natural translucency. This minimally invasive procedure transforms smiles in just two visits, offering stain resistance and a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with existing teeth.
Sedation Dentistry
Overcome dental anxiety with multiple sedation options including nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation. Our techniques allow complex treatments to be completed comfortably in fewer visits while ensuring patient safety and relaxation. Ideal for those with fear of dental procedures, sensitive teeth, or difficulty sitting for extended periods.
Clear Aligners
Straighten teeth discreetly with clear aligner therapy that corrects crowding and spacing issues. Using digital treatment planning, we create customized, removable trays that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment without traditional brackets. Suitable for teens and adults seeking aesthetic orthodontic solutions with reduced visibility compared to metal braces.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Restore complete oral function through comprehensive full mouth reconstruction addressing multiple dental concerns. Combining implants, crowns, and bite correction, we rebuild damaged smiles caused by trauma, wear, or disease. This tailored approach considers both aesthetics and occlusal harmony to improve chewing efficiency, speech, and facial appearance while preventing future dental complications.

Pope Dental was great! So professional, and my appointment was quick and easy to set up. Their website is also very impressive. I was able to fill out all of my first-time paperwork ahead of time. So the office visit went just that much more smoothly.

I had the pleasure of transferring over to Pope Dental after my amazing dentist, Dr. Julie Greenlaw joined the team. They are conveniently located in downtown Walnut Creek with ample street parking along with a parking lot. Service: Every single person I encountered - from the front desk to billing to the person who took my night guard mold and the random person who answered my phone.they have all been amazing. Office: The people make this office.
Their energy and vibe have been nothing but positive. It's like endorphins on constant circulation. Technology: I went in for a mold and received my night guard days later. They have all the tools in-house so the turnaround time is quick and it's cost-effective. I highly recommend Pope Dental for anyone looking interested in great dental services performed by professionals who clearly enjoy their careers.

STAY AWAY! Patient care and patient time is not a priority at this practice. My appointment was changed 3 times on my last visit due to doctor not being available, and they attempted to change my next appointment again due to doctor not being available. One would think they would honor their commitment, as the patients do, once the appointment is made, but no such luck!

I've been a patient of Pope Dental since the late Eighties and been very pleased with their service! Here's a example why, a short time ago I was flossing my teeth and a crown suddenly came off. I immediately called Pope Dental and they were able to see me within a half hour! Dr Mojica resealed my crown and thankfully, I was in and out in minutes! Thank you Dr Pope, Dr Mojica and entire staff for your great service over all these years! Raymond Cannata

The receptionist is extremely rude. I tried to book an appointment as a new patient and she very rudely insisted I must have a ssn to have insurance and that my insurance would never let me have an account without one. Well I do have insurance and my visa is in process. I decided to look elsewhere. You should take that receptionist off the phone she's awful
