Convenient Access from Riverside
Riverside stretches across more than 80 square miles, yet from City Hall our Barton Rd office is only about 10 minutes away. Spring Hills Family Dentistry, a private family practice in Grand Terrace, gives households searching for a dentist in Riverside, CA, five doctors in one building, including a periodontal and implant surgeon and a board-certified endodontist. That means fewer referrals and fewer waiting rooms when care gets complicated.
Starting at City Hall, 3900 Main St., follow 9th St and Lime St to Mission Inn Ave, then pick up SR-91 east. The 91 carries you into the big 60/91/215 interchange on the city's northeast side, where you continue north on I-215. Leave the freeway at the Barton Rd exit and drive east to 22737 Barton Rd Unit 12, Grand Terrace, CA 92313.
Plan on about 6 miles in total. Most of it is freeway, so the drive feels much the same whether you set out from a historic home near the Mission Inn or a tract near the University of California campus. Use our Google Maps location to route from your own street. Patients from Downtown Riverside and Northside have their own guides with closer starting points.
One Office for Every Generation in a Growing City
Riverside is the largest city in the Inland Empire and the seat of Riverside County. It is also a young city, where a large share of residents are children and households tend to be family-sized. When a family that size needs dental care, the practical question is simple: can one office handle all of us?
Here, the answer is yes. General dentists see children for their first cleanings and adults for routine checkups. A periodontal and implant surgeon treats gum disease and missing teeth, and an endodontist handles difficult root canals. One office keeps everyone's records, so the doctors can see the whole picture.
The city's roots run deep. Riverside is known as the birthplace of California's citrus industry, and the California Citrus State Historic Park still preserves demonstration groves and a museum on the industry. Families who have been here for generations often want the same thing from a dentist that they value in their community: continuity.
Newer arrivals want something else, which is a practice that is easy to reach and easy to understand. Clear treatment plans, upfront costs and a front desk that answers the phone make a difference when you are still learning your way around a new city.
Children across the city attend two main public districts, with Alvord Unified covering the west side and RUSD serving much of the east. Whichever school your kids attend, twice-yearly checkups fit neatly into the start of each semester. Neighbors in Jurupa Valley, across the Santa Ana River, and in Moreno Valley to the east often make the same short trip to see us.
How Riverside's Size and Pace Shape Your Dental Care
Three freeways, I-215, SR-60 and SR-91, meet in Riverside, and many residents spend part of each day on them. Commuters who log those miles every weekday have little time to spare. Our Wednesday and Thursday hours stretch until 7 PM, and Friday opens at 7:30 AM, so a cleaning can fit before or after the drive.
Weekends here often mean a hike up Mount Rubidoux, a picnic at Fairmount Park or a walk through the citrus groves. Active families tend to collect active-family dental problems: chipped incisors, cracked molars from a hard snack on the trail, sore jaws from clenching through a long week. The office offers same-day appointments for those surprises, so a weekend accident does not wreck the work week.
Gum disease is the other quiet issue in a busy city, because it often surfaces in middle age without much pain. Bleeding gums and loose teeth are not just mouth problems. Our page on how periodontal health impacts your overall wellness explains why the doctors take early gum changes seriously.
Students add one more layer. UC Riverside, La Sierra University and Riverside City College all draw young adults who may be choosing their own dentist for the first time. Many neighborhoods have their own page on our site, but the citywide answer stays the same: one office, every age, a short drive north.
Care Families Expect When Choosing a Dentist in Riverside, CA
Preventative Dentistry
Routine exams and cleanings for kids, parents and grandparents form the base of every family's care. Digital x-rays read with Pearl® AI support help the doctors catch decay early.
Periodontics
Gum treatment stays in-house with Dr. Omran Zeino, a periodontal and implant surgeon. LANAP® laser therapy is one of the options he offers for patients with deeper gum pockets.
Dental Implants
From a single implant to All-on-X for a full arch, replacement teeth are planned around detailed 3D scans. Placing and restoring the implant under one roof saves patients extra trips.
Restorative Dentistry
Ceramic crowns and bridges repair teeth weakened by large fillings or fractures. Glidewell® same-day crowns are printed in the office, finishing many crowns in one visit.
Sedation Dentistry
Adults who have put off care for years can talk with the team about sedation. It can make longer appointments more manageable for anxious patients.
A first visit usually starts with a conversation about your goals, followed by digital x-rays and a full exam. When a crown or other restoration is needed, intraoral scanners capture a digital impression instead of a tray of putty. If the doctors need a closer look at bone or roots, CBCT 3D imaging is available on site, which keeps the planning visit and the treatment visit in the same building.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Spring Hills Family Dentistry from Riverside, and how do I get there?
Our office is about 6 miles from City Hall downtown, a drive of roughly 10 minutes. The route runs along Mission Inn Ave to SR-91 east, then north on I-215 to the Barton Rd exit. Anyone weighing a dentist in Riverside, CA, can compare that with a crosstown drive inside the city itself.
Do patients come from Riverside's west side near La Sierra?
Yes, patients drive in from every corner of the city, the La Sierra and Arlington side included. From the west, SR-91 runs east into the same 60/91/215 interchange used from downtown, then I-215 north leads to Barton Rd. Expect a longer trip than the 10 minutes from City Hall, since the city is wide.
Is your office in Riverside County?
No, the office is in Grand Terrace, which belongs to San Bernardino County. The city's northern neighborhoods end at the county line, and our building sits just beyond it on Barton Rd. Crossing that line changes nothing about booking, paying or keeping up with your family's recall visits.
Will I be referred out for gum surgery or a root canal?
Usually not, because both specialties practice inside this office. Dr. Omran Zeino handles periodontal and implant surgery, and Dr. Tammam Sheabar is a board-certified endodontist trained at Boston University. Keeping that care in one place saves extra paperwork, another set of x-rays and a second commute across the city.
Can households without insurance save on implants or crowns?
Yes, the Kleer® Membership Plans take 30% off procedures, including major work like crowns and implants. Adult Complete, Child Complete and Perio plans also cover routine cleanings, exams and unlimited x-rays. There are no waiting periods, so a member can start treatment right away instead of waiting months for benefits.
