Sacramento & Arden Arcade Dentist
Where Relationships
Matter Most.
Root-cause dentistry for Sacramento and Arden patients.
Most dental practices treat what they can see. We spend the first appointment finding what is actually driving your concerns, then show you everything before recommending anything.

Kois
Center Trained
Most people who call us have already been to a dentist. Sometimes a fix didn’t hold, sometimes something was never fully explained. Sometimes they’ve just been putting it off because no one made them feel like it was worth dealing with. That’s usually where we come in.
Our Philosophy
We Find What’s Actually Wrong.
“The best dental work is the work that never had to happen. That starts with understanding the cause, not just the symptom.”
Before Dr. Tex makes a single recommendation, he and your Health Relationship Coordinator walk through a full risk assessment: your bite, your tissues, your joints, and your goals. We call this a co-discovery appointment. You see what we see. Nothing gets proposed until you understand why.
This is not how most dental practices work. It is how Kois Center-trained dentists work.
Co-Discovery Appointments
Your first visit is a conversation, not a cleaning. We map every risk factor together before treatment is discussed.
Risk-Based Treatment Planning
Every recommendation is rooted in Kois-trained protocol, not revenue targets or insurance schedules.
Long-Term Health Relationship
Your dedicated Health Relationship Coordinator stays with you from first visit through every follow-up.
Why Patients Choose Us
This Practice Works Differently.
Six structural differences patients notice at their first appointment. Each reflects a deliberate decision about how to practice dentistry.
Root-Cause Diagnosis
Your exam starts with a risk assessment across four systems: periodontal health, bite mechanics, airway function, and esthetics. You see the findings before we discuss anything.
Kois Center Training
The Kois Center trains clinicians to diagnose risk as a system, not in silos. Fewer than 2% of practicing dentists hold this training. Dr. Tex is one of them in the Sacramento area.
Whole-Body Health Lens
Airway, TMJ, sleep, and systemic markers are part of every comprehensive exam. Oral DNA testing is standard, not an upgrade. Your mouth and your body are connected.
Health Relationship Coordinator
Before Dr. Tex enters the room, your Health Relationship Coordinator has built your health history and established trust. Most dental practices do not have this role.
Fee-for-Service Freedom
This practice is not contracted with insurance companies. Every recommendation is driven by what your oral health requires. Not by what a coverage policy will reimburse.
Dr. Pepper, Therapy Dog
Dr. Pepper is a certified therapy dog who attends appointments for patients who want comfort. Many anxious patients say the effect is more meaningful than any sedation option.
Insurance & Fees
We Are Out-of-Network. Here Is What That Means.
We do not accept insurance assignments or contracted reimbursement rates. This is intentional. Insurance contracts limit treatment options and push dentists toward volume. We chose not to operate that way.
Most PPO plans reimburse 50-80% of covered services when you see an out-of-network provider. We file claims on your behalf and provide detailed itemized receipts for every visit.

Signature Services
Built For Patients Who Want More Than Maintenance.
Our implant and cosmetic cases attract patients from Sacramento, Arden, Carmichael, and Roseville. Complex cases are where this practice thrives.
Premier Service
Dental Implants in Sacramento & Arden
A missing tooth is a structural problem, not just a cosmetic one. Bone resorbs within months of tooth loss. Implants stop that process by replacing the root, not just the crown. Dr. Tex places and restores implants in-house, single-tooth through full-arch reconstruction.
Premier Service
Cosmetic Dentistry in Sacramento & Arden
Cosmetic results that last start with a healthy bite. We design smiles that are structurally sound, not just aesthetically pleasing. Every cosmetic case begins with Dr. Tex’s risk assessment to ensure what we build will still look excellent in ten years.
Premier Service
Korr Tooth Whitening
Professional whitening that delivers lasting results. We use Korr, a clinically superior system trusted for its precision and color stability. Every whitening case is paired with our partnership with Master Ceramists, a high-caliber dental laboratory specializing in aesthetic smiles. When your result needs to coordinate with existing restorations, that relationship matters.
All Services
Comprehensive Care From One Practice.
We handle general, cosmetic, implant, and restorative care directly, and when a specialist is the right answer, we refer to providers we trust personally. Every specialist in our network is someone we would send a family member to.
