A second-generation family practice

It started in a goat barn.

Dr. Rob Oliver grew up here in Sonoma County. In 1998, when his father — also a pediatric dentist — retired, Rob took over the rural practice his family had built. The first office was a converted goat-milking barn on the family property, with his grandmother working the front desk in the early days.

That same warmth still runs the show. As word spread, the practice outgrew the barn, and in 2006 a second office opened in Windsor. Two generations later, the mission hasn't changed: specialized dentistry for children and adolescents in a warm, caring, child-friendly environment.

  • Sonoma County born & raised — these are our neighbors' kids
  • Trained at the University of the Pacific, with pediatric residency at LSU
  • Members of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry

What we do

Everything little smiles need — under one friendly roof.

From a first “happy visit” to sealants, gentle fillings and comfort options for anxious kids — care matched to each child, at every age.

Preventive Care

Gentle exams, cleanings, digital X-rays and fluoride — building healthy habits from the very first tooth.

Sealants & Fluoride

Quick, painless protection for the deep grooves of new molars, where cavities love to hide.

Gentle Fillings & Air Abrasion

Tooth-colored fillings and air-abrasion technique that often means less drilling and less fuss.

Comfort & Sedation Options

From nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) to mild and IV sedation — matched to your child and their comfort.

Special-Needs Care

A patient, welcoming practice for infants, children, teens and children with special healthcare needs.

Emergency Dental Care

Knocked-out tooth, a bad ache, a playground tumble? Call us — kids' emergencies don't wait.

The first visit

No tears. No tricks. Just a really good first visit.

Most kids walk out asking when they can come back. Here's how a typical first appointment goes.

  1. 01

    Say hello

    A warm welcome, a tour, and time for your child to get comfy before anything else happens. No rushing.

  2. 02

    A gentle look

    We count teeth, take a peek, and explain everything in kid-language — “tooth counter,” “tickle brush,” “magic camera.”

  3. 03

    Clean & protect

    A gentle cleaning, fluoride, and sealants when they're helpful. Comfort options like nitrous are there if needed.

  4. 04

    A plan, together

    We sit down with you, answer every question, and build a simple plan to keep that smile healthy at home.

Good questions

Parent questions, answered.

Still wondering about something? A real person answers the phone — call us anytime.

The general guidance is by their first birthday, or within six months of that first tooth. Early “happy visits” keep things easy and head off problems before they start — and give us a chance to coach you on home care.

Gently, and at their pace. We explain everything in kid-language, never rush, and offer comfort options ranging from nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) to mild and IV sedation when they're the right fit. Most nervous kids leave proud of themselves.

Yes — warmly and routinely. We care for infants, children, teens and kids with special healthcare needs, and Dr. Mauger has a particular focus in this area.

Whichever is closest! We have offices in Sebastopol (8901 Barnett Valley Road) and Windsor (8911 Lakewood Drive, Suite 15). Give either a call and we'll get you scheduled.

Please call the office and our front-desk team will walk you through your coverage and options before your visit — no surprises.

Ready for a happier trip to the dentist?

New patients are always welcome at both offices. Call the location nearest you and we'll find a time that works for your family.
