With over 25 years of experience in the Sacramento area and a long, treasured history of creating beautiful, healthy smiles, Dr. David Yasuda works hard to provide all his patients with the warm, professional, and always considerate dental care they deserve. Originally from Sunnyvale, CA, he first earned his BS degree at the University of California at Davis before going on to graduate from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry. While there he graduated in the top 10% of his class earning membership into 2 dental honor societies. Today, he is a member of the Sacramento District Dental Society, the California Dental Association, the American Dental Association, and the Interdisciplinary Dental Treatment study group of the Greenhaven area. Belonging to a study group allows Dr. Yasuda to develop strong relationships with many of the top specialists in the area so that he can work with them to deliver the best care possible for the patients.
Dr. Yasuda is dedicated to providing comprehensive oral health and overall wellness to his patients in a manner that is always gentle and compassionate. His daily goal and focus are to comfortably provide quality restorative dentistry that emphasizes esthetics and making sure it is a positive experience. Prevention is also very important to him, and he always takes the time to educate patients about dental concerns and hygiene, which he believes is the key to maintaining good health. Dr. Yasuda strives to provide the best care for his patients by staying on top of new techniques and materials. He has completed several courses at the Las Vegas Institute for advanced dental studies as well as other local hands-on training courses to be able to perform and deliver specialized cosmetic care.
Today, with all the advancements in materials and techniques he has transitioned to a more biomimetic dental practice. What does this mean for his patients? It means being able to preserve more healthy tooth structure with the end result being a tooth restored to its original strength and many times, even stronger and more esthetic than before. Traditional methods of care sometimes require us to be more aggressive in drilling which can potentially lead to the need for root canal therapy and more extensive treatment. If you have any questions regarding this type of dentistry, feel free to contact Dr. Yasuda at your convenience.
What does Dr. Yasuda enjoy most about his job? Simply put, he loves knowing that he has the opportunity and ability to provide a high level of dental care with a great team and deliver that care in a comfortable, safe environment. Whether it’s getting them out of pain and making them comfortable or boosting their self-confidence, the process is very rewarding to him. Additionally, as the dentistry world learns more about oral cancer screening and the connection between oral health and overall health, his career has become even more fulfilling, he knows he and his team can directly impact the overall well-being of patients.
Dr. Yasuda has been married to his wife Teri for over 25 years, and she is his biggest fan. Together they have 2 two sons, Davis and Scott, who keep their lives filled with excitement. When he is not in the office, Dr. Yasuda also enjoys fishing, camping, off-road four wheeling, and golfing. But by far his passion is spending time with family and friends!
