Periodontal therapy through education, compassion, and excellence.
Dr. Connie Oh and Dr. Donald Brown are specialists in Periodontics and Implantology. We manage diseases of the gum and bone, place dental implants, and perform procedures that can aesthetically enhance your smile.
If you are a new patient to our office, you can save time at your initial consultation by filling out your new patient registration forms here.
We work closely as a team with your referring dentist, but a referral by a dentist is not required to become a new patient. We welcome referrals from patients and friends of the practice. If you are in need of a general or restorative dentist, we can provide you with the names of some of the excellent dentists we work with.
We communicate with you and your dentist, ensuring that your clinical, periodontal, and administrative needs are met as efficiently and smoothly as possible.
Our goal is to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. We are here to listen to you and to help provide solutions leading to your better health. Periodontal treatment is a partnership between your periodontist, your dentist, any other treatment providers, and you. If you are anxious about receiving care, we have a variety of sedation options available to make your treatment as easy as possible.
Dr. Oh received her D.D.S. from the University of the Pacific, and continued on to her Master’s and specialty training in Periodontics at the University of California, San Francisco.
Dr. Oh hails from the east coast, and speaks Korean and French. She serves as an adjunct Assistant Professor at UCSF, and as a volunteer dentist for underprivileged children in Alameda and Berkeley through Kerry’s Kids.
Dr. Oh is the president of the Alameda City Dental Group, President-Elect of the Alameda County Dental Society, and leads a Spear Education study club in Alameda.
In addition, Dr. Oh is a member of the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, California Society of Periodontists, American Academy of Periodontology, and is a diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology.
Dr. Brown received his D.D.S. degree from Columbia University in 1969. After that he spent two years in the Army practicing general dentistry. He completed his periodontics specialty training, also from Columbia University, in 1973.
Since 1973 he has maintained a practice in Alameda specializing in periodontics, aesthetic oral surgery, and dental implants. Dr. Brown is a member of the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Periodontology.

Our goal is to help our patients. We understand that some treatment, particularly in advanced cases, can be a significant expense. If your treatment involves multiple procedures, they can usually be spaced out over time to accommodate your schedule and personal finances.
We have the following options to make your treatment feasible:
Insurance
We are preferred providers with Delta Dental PPO Premier. If you’re a member of another PPO (for instance, Aetna, BlueCross, Cigna, Delta Dental, Guardian, Metlife), it’s likely that your insurance will still cover a good portion of your treatment. We will submit all necessary paperwork on your behalf.
If your insurance plan is denoted HMO or DPO, it will exclusively cover services by providers under that plan. Call the number on your insurance card for providers. We do not accept Denti-Cal or Medi-Cal. If you are seeking a Denti-Cal provider, please click here.
Payment plans
We offer financing through the Wells Fargo Health Advantage credit card. For more information, visit WellsFargoHealthAdvantage.com/apply.
I’ve had some negative experiences with periodontists and Dr. Oh was a welcome relief. Thorough, compassionate and professional. I’m glad to have found her.
This is a really great office. All persons working here do a great job from start to finish. They are sensitive to your needs, make sure you are as comfortable as possible, and so for all work done has been great. I personally don’t care for going to the dentist but I know when I get there I am in good hands. If you are in need of a work this is a great place to start. They walk you through the process and keep you at ease.
