Your First Visit

Some places hum with an ease that’s hard to explain. The light falls just right through the windows, the team knows each other’s rhythms, and everything from the giggles at the front desk to the scent in the waiting room just feels… good.

That’s Los Gatos Dental Group.

Dr. K and Dr. Diercks didn’t set out to build the biggest practice in Silicon Valley, just the kind of place they’d want their own families to go. They spend their days side by side with a team that knows when to turn on the music, when to slow things down, and when to simply listen. They’ve studied the art and science of dentistry for years, layering in digital tools like lasers and same-day technology that make treatments simpler, gentler, and faster.

But what anchors it all is something quieter: an unspoken agreement that dentistry should feel human.

Every patient here gets real, unhurried time because that’s how trust is built. Not with slogans and over-bright whites, but with small, consistent kindnesses that make you feel taken care of long after you’ve left the chair.

Warm welcome
Step 1:

A Warm Welcome

Our front desk team will welcome you with a smile. We’ll confirm your forms and help with any last-minute details so you can settle in without stress.

Digital records
Step 2:

Digital Records & X-Rays

We’ll take any necessary digital X-rays or 3D scans (no messy dental goop!) to give your dentist a clear picture of your oral health. These modern tools mean less radiation, faster imaging, and better precision from the very start.

Comprehensive exam
Step 3:

Comprehensive Exam

Dr. Karamardian or Dr. Diercks will take time to understand your medical history, lifestyle, and goals, whether you’re dealing with gum disease or looking to polish your smile with porcelain veneers. Then, they’ll complete a detailed exam of your teeth, gums, and bite, explaining everything as they go so nothing feels mysterious or rushed.

Personalized plan

Personalized Plan & Next Steps

If we notice anything that needs care, we’ll walk you through your options, explaining what each involves and why it matters. Together, we’ll build a plan that fits your life and helps you reach your healthiest, happiest smile.

Financing your care

Financing Your Care

Dental care shouldn’t come with surprises, and especially not financial ones. Our team helps you understand every detail of your coverage and payment options.

  • We file insurance claims on your behalf to maximize your benefits.
  • No insurance? Ask about our LGDG Savings Plan, which helps families save on essential treatments all year long.
  • We also accept CareCredit and LendingClub financing to make larger treatments more manageable.

Top Tech to Make Care Easier

Here’s the secret: all the fancy tech isn’t really for us, it’s for you. It’s what lets us skip the goopy impressions, the endless waiting, and the “hold still while this makes a weird noise” moments.

The iTero scanner snaps a full 3D model of your smile in seconds, so you can actually see what we see. Same-day crowns mean you walk in needing a fix and walk out fully restored; no temporary crowns that fall off at dinner!

Even our tiniest tools are built for kindness – air abrasion dentistry lets us treat early cavities without the buzz of a drill, and laser technology painlessly removes infected gum tissue and helps us avoid stitches.

Staying Calm in the Chair

If your heart races at the thought of sitting in a dental chair, we get it. And you won’t be met with judgment here. We notice the white knuckles, the nervous laugh, the way you try to be brave. That’s where we slow down. We’ll talk through what’s happening, make sure you can breathe easy, and never move faster than your comfort allows.

Sometimes it’s a blanket. Sometimes it’s music in your ears or a calm hand on your shoulder. For more anxious patients, we have gentle sedation options too.
