General & Preventive Dentistry in Danville, CA

A beautiful smile starts with a healthy foundation.

At Michael Kriston DDS, general and preventive care isn’t something we rush through to get to the “real” dentistry — it is the real dentistry. The thoroughness of your exam, the precision of your cleaning, and the early detection of problems you can’t see or feel yet — these are the things that protect your teeth for decades, not just until your next appointment.

Dr. Kriston has been practicing dentistry in the San Ramon Valley since 1987. In that time, one principle has stayed constant: when you take care of the foundation, everything else — cosmetics, implants, complex restorations — becomes easier, more predictable, and longer-lasting.

Our General & Preventive Services

Teeth Cleanings & Dental Exams

Routine dental cleanings help prevent cavities, gum disease, and keep your smile healthy and bright.

Gum Disease Treatment

Periodontal therapy helps treat infection, protect your gums, and preserve long-term oral health.

Oral Cancer Screening

Preventive oral care focuses on maintaining healthy teeth and gums through exams, hygiene, and education.

Sleep Apnea & Snoring Treatment

Oral appliance therapy offers a comfortable, non-invasive solution for managing sleep apnea and improving sleep quality.

Night Guards, TMJ Appliances & Sports Guards

TMJ/TMD treatment addresses disorders of the jaw joint and surrounding muscles that can cause jaw pain, headaches, clicking or popping sounds, difficulty chewing, and chronic facial discomfort.

Emergency Dental Care

A cracked tooth, sudden pain, a knocked-out crown, an infection that won’t wait — dental emergencies happen without warning, and they need attention the same day.

Sedation Dentistry

Dental anxiety is real, and it keeps too many people from getting the care they need. Dr. Kriston holds a California oral conscious sedation permit and has provided sedation for over 20 years.

Technology You’ll Notice

Every operatory is equipped with intraoral cameras so you can see exactly what Dr. Kriston sees. Digital X-rays reduce radiation exposure by up to 80%. Our Carestream 3D CBCT scanner provides detailed imaging for complex cases. And AI-assisted diagnostics help catch problems at their earliest, most treatable stage. Technology doesn’t replace clinical judgment — it sharpens it.
