Convenient Access from Redlands
About 15 minutes west along a single corridor is the whole commute from downtown Redlands to Spring Hills Family Dentistry in Grand Terrace. Plenty of people who begin by searching for a dentist in Redlands, CA, settle on us because that drive needs no freeway at all. Under one roof you will find general dentists, a periodontal and implant surgeon and a board-certified endodontist, which matters when a treatment plan grows beyond a filling.
From the Smiley Public Library on West Vine Street, take Eureka Street a short way and turn west on Brookside Ave. Brookside becomes Barton Rd as it crosses into Loma Linda, and you simply stay on Barton Rd west into Grand Terrace until you reach 22737 Barton Rd Unit 12, Grand Terrace, CA 92313. Plan on about 8 miles and roughly 15 minutes, with no tolls and no on-ramps. Our map listing shows the entrance once you arrive.
The drive begins in the city's historic core, a few steps from the Lincoln Memorial Shrine and the Redlands Bowl in Smiley Park. Hours and events for the library itself are posted on the Smiley Library website. Patients from neighboring Highland to the north and Loma Linda, which you pass through on the way, each have a page with their own directions.
What Draws Redlands Patients Down Barton Rd
The city has a settled, established feel. Its founders laid out the colony in 1881 and named it for the color of the adobe soil, and the city incorporated in 1888. For close to 75 years it anchored the largest navel orange region in the world.
The city sits in San Bernardino County, with the Santa Ana River along its north side and San Timoteo Canyon to the south. I-10, SR-210 and SR-38 all pass through, and since 2022 the Arrow commuter train has linked the university and downtown with San Bernardino. Mentone and Yucaipa lie farther east. Even with all those options, the quickest way to our chairs stays on surface streets.
Local landmarks reflect that orange-era wealth. Kimberly Crest, a chateau-style mansion built in 1897, overlooks the grounds that became Prospect Park. The Lincoln Memorial Shrine, opened in 1932, is the largest Lincoln memorial and research center on the West Coast, and admission is free.
About 73,000 people lived here at the 2020 census, and most homes are owner-occupied. Residents tend to stay put for years, which means their teeth carry decades of history: large silver fillings, older crowns and bridges, and the occasional gap left by an extraction long ago. We like that kind of history, because a careful exam can usually extend the life of the work that is still sound.
The city also skews a little older than its neighbors, with roughly one resident in six aged 65 or over. Our office is set up for that stage of life. Gum treatment, root canals, crowns and implants are all handled in the same building, so an older patient is not shuttled between offices in different towns.
Younger households are part of the picture too. Children in Redlands Unified, students at the University of Redlands and people who work at Esri all come through our doors. A family practice that sees every generation keeps the whole household on one schedule.
Dental Priorities for Established Redlands Households
Missing teeth are the most common concern we hear from longtime residents. Replacing them restores chewing and helps keep neighboring teeth from drifting. Our page on the benefits of choosing dental implants for tooth replacement compares implants with bridges and partials in plain language.
Implant planning starts with CBCT 3D imaging taken in the office. The scan shows bone height, nerve position and sinus anatomy, so the surgeon can place each implant with care instead of guessing from a flat x-ray. For patients missing most of an arch, Dr. Zeino offers All-on-X, which supports a full set of teeth on a small number of implants.
Gum health matters just as much. Bone loss around older teeth is often silent until a tooth feels loose, and gum disease has links to heart health and diabetes control. Regular periodontal maintenance, sometimes every three or four months, keeps that process in check.
Many of our patients spend summer evenings at the free concerts in the Redlands Bowl, a tradition that began in 1924. A loose crown or a sore tooth can spoil that kind of night out. A Glidewell® same-day crown, milled and placed in one visit, lets a patient fix a broken tooth without weeks of a temporary.
Services Chosen for Patients Wanting a Dentist in Redlands, CA
Dental Implants
Single implants, implant bridges and full-arch All-on-X restorations are planned and placed here. Retirees tired of a loose partial often start with a consultation and a 3D scan.
Restorative Dentistry
Crowns, bridges and tooth-colored fillings replace worn metal work from decades past. Ceramic materials blend in with natural enamel and hold up well to everyday chewing.
Periodontics
Deep cleanings, maintenance visits and LANAP® laser gum therapy treat pockets around the teeth. Treating them early protects both natural teeth and any implants placed later.
Endodontics
A root canal from a board-certified endodontist can save a cracked or infected tooth that might otherwise be pulled. For many patients, keeping their own tooth is the simpler path.
Preventative Dentistry
Routine cleanings and exams catch small problems on older restorations before they spread. Children and grandchildren can book the same morning as their grandparents.
Meet Your Grand Terrace Dental Team
Dr. Omran Zeino is a periodontal and implant surgeon who earned his DDS and MS at Loma Linda University after a four-year oral and maxillofacial surgery residency. Root canal care comes from Dr. Tammam Sheabar, a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics trained at Boston University. Both work beside the general dentists listed on our meet the team page.
Insurance & Financing
Most PPO plans are welcome here, including MetLife, Blue Cross/Blue Shield and AARP dental coverage. Patients with gum disease and no insurance can look at the Kleer® Perio plan, which takes 30% off procedures. CareCredit and other financing partners make implant treatment easier to budget over time.
