Meet Your Periodontist

Dr. Janice Kaeley

A graduate of the University of Melbourne School of Dentistry in Australia, Dr. Janice Kaeley later earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. During her time at USC , she discovered her passion for periodontics and dental implants. It led her to pursue specialty training in periodontics and implantology at Indiana University, where she earned a master's degree in dental science and a minor in oral pathology.

Today, Dr. Kaeley provides cutting-edge periodontal procedures in the communities of San Ramon and Turlock. She maintains active memberships in the American Academy of Periodontology, American Dental Association, California Dental Association, and Contra Costa Dental Society.

Start Living Without Limits Again

Missing teeth create problems that go way beyond how you look. Maybe you avoid certain restaurants because the menu seems too challenging.

Perhaps you've stopped laughing freely because you're self-conscious about the gaps. Even simple conversations might feel stressful when you're worried about pronunciation.

Your social life and daily routines shouldn't revolve around dental problems. Permanent tooth replacements give you so much more than just a prettier smile. You'll be able to crunch through fresh vegetables, speak with perfect clarity, and show genuine joy without holding back.

Traditional removable teeth often cause embarrassing moments when they shift unexpectedly. Tooth-supported bridges require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth. Our implant solutions work differently because they integrate directly with your jawbone tissue. This creates a foundation that's actually stronger than what nature originally provided.

After the healing period ends, no food will be off-limits. Crusty pizza, fresh corn, sticky treats, and tough jerky will all be fair game again. You'll forget you ever had dental work done because everything feels so natural.

We know dental anxiety is real, and we take those concerns seriously. Feel free to tour our facility, chat with our team members, and get answers to every question you have. There's absolutely no obligation to move forward until you feel completely ready.

Your first visit starts with an examination where we listen carefully to your biggest concerns. After that, we'll show you exactly how we can solve your problems step by step.

Every person has unique needs, so we create custom plans that work specifically for your situation. We focus on learning what matters most to you and answer any questions that worry you. Some people need fast solutions. Others want to take their time or have budget considerations. We'll build an approach that matches exactly what works best for your life.

These are our top treatments that have changed how patients feel about their smiles:

  • Implant Dentures - These upgraded dentures connect safely to small posts placed in your bone. You can remove them for washing, but they lock securely in place while you eat and speak.

  • Complete Arch Replacement - We carefully position four to six implants that hold up a full set of upper or lower teeth. All-on-X implants require only regular brushing and flossing for maintenance.

  • Individual Tooth Restoration - Missing a single tooth? We can install one implant topped with a custom crown that perfectly matches your existing teeth. The result looks completely natural.

  • Immediate Tooth Replacement - Arrive with missing teeth and leave with a brand new smile the same day. You'll receive provisional teeth immediately, followed by your final restorations after healing.

  • Full Mouth Reconstruction - For patients requiring extensive treatment, we develop comprehensive plans to rebuild entire smiles using implants combined with other advanced procedures.

I had a very pleasant, professional and thorough initial consultation. A much better experience compared to another initial exam consultation I had at another San Ramon periodontist. I was presented with the LANAP option (the other office never mentioned it, probably because they don't have the equipment).

Best in the Bay Area

I am now 3 months after the surgery and amazed by the results!! My gums are not sore/swollen at all & do not bleed anymore! I had consulted and done treatment last year for an entire year with another dentist and they were unable to repair my gums. I have only heartfelt thanks for Dr. Kaeley...

I am now 3 months after the surgery and amazed by the results!! My gums are not sore/swollen at all & do not bleed anymore! I had consulted and done treatment last year for an entire year with another dentist and they were unable to repair my gums. I have only heartfelt thanks for Dr. Kaeley for helping me repair my gums. Dr. Kaeley will check my pockets next year and I could require another round of LANAP depending on how deep the pockets are. Dr, Kaeley is very knowledgeable & experienced. I don't think there is another gum specialist here in the Bay area like her.

I am beyond happy to have found this place. They're so caring, gentle and all the staffs are so friendly. I used to be so deathly afraid to get a basic cleaning for my teeth because no matter how much I tell them to be gentle at other places (due to sensitive teeth), they don't seem to listen but when I started going here for my gum treatments, I always look forward to going now. Please go here if you need periodontics treatment because they are ABSOLUTELY the best.

Great Health Suggestions

Tracy was great! Gentle. She also provided great suggestions on how to maintain my oral health. I greatly appreciated her suggestions as I know my oral health impacts my general, overall physical health.

Dr. Kaeley is awsome. I just had laser treatment (lanap) today and it went great. It was quick, painless. Dr. Kaeley was very patient with me and even joking during surgery. That made me to calm down little bit :). She explained everything what she was doing and she even called me in evening to ask how I am doing and if everything is ok. I recommend Dr. Kaeley to everyone.
