Home care dentistry is an excellent option for people who may be unable to leave their homes for various reasons. At Home Care Dentists, we pride ourselves on traveling to our patients to provide quality and compassionate care.

The team at HomeCare Dentists has many years of experience providing dental care in the home environment. We bring our state of the art dental equipment directly into the residence of our patients. The appointment takes place in the privacy of their bedroom or common area of their residence. The dental unit is mounted onto a cart and is rolled into the area where we will be doing treatment. The dental unit is electric powered with high and slow speed drills, saliva ejector, high volume suction, air/water syringe, a compartment that stores the sterile water for the procedures, a cavitron unit that is used for teeth cleanings, and a light cure to set our fillings and build ups. We also bring a hand held dental X-ray gun to take digital images that display and are saved onto a laptop immediately after the image is taken. All of the dental instruments are sterilized and packaged at the office in San Juan Capistrano and are ready to be used on our patients at the appointment.
