Serving Galt, CA

Galt's family dentist, eleven miles south.

Eleven miles south on SR-99, our Lodi office is the natural choice for Galt families looking for a long-term family dentist that grows with their kids.

Welcome, Galt Neighbors

Caring dentistry - a short drive from Galt.

Galt to our Lodi office is one of the easier dental trips in the region: a straight shot south on SR-99, fifteen minutes outside of rush hour, parking right at the front door. The practice is small enough that the front desk staff have time to learn your kids' names, and the schedule is built for households splitting commutes between Galt schools and Lodi or Stockton jobs. If you're looking for a long-term family dentist that grows with your children - preventive care first, restorative care when it's genuinely needed - the route is simple and the door is open.

About Galt

Galt - and how we fit into life here.

Galt sits at the southern tip of Sacramento County, just over the San Joaquin County line, on the edge of the Cosumnes River floodplain. ZIP 95632 covers the city and the surrounding agricultural belt of dairy operations, fruit orchards, and the famous Galt Market on Tuesdays and Wednesdays - one of the largest open-air flea markets in Northern California. Galt Joint Union Elementary, Galt High, and Liberty Ranch High anchor a school system that families consistently choose Galt for.

The city itself is compact - under ten square miles, around 26,000 residents - but the population covers a wide range: ag-industry families, retired couples in the McCaffrey Square area, teachers who work at Galt-area schools, and young families moving in for the small-town pace and the still-affordable single-family homes. Many commute to Stockton or Sacramento for work, which puts a Lodi dentist directly on the south route - genuinely convenient, not a detour.

I have very high dental anxiety and had put off going to the dentist for quite some time after a bad experience. After a thorough search, I came across Dr. Cheung's practice and I'm so glad I did.
