Delight Dental Group has been a dental home for Folsom, California families for years, working out of a single-level office at 1625 Creekside Dr. Suite 100, just off East Bidwell Street and a short drive from the U.S. 50 corridor. Our patients live a few blocks away in Briggs Ranch, walk over from the apartments off Iron Point, drive in from Empire Ranch on the east side, or stop by after work from the Intel campus on a lunch break. Folsom is genuinely our neighborhood — we know which intersections back up at school pickup, which weekends Sutter Street closes for a festival, and which way the wind blows when the Folsom Lake bike trail is particularly busy.
What that means for you: you're not visiting a chain office that could be in any city in California. You're visiting a Folsom dental practice run by clinicians who care about the long-term oral health of the community we live and work in. Whether you need a routine cleaning, a same-day emergency visit, a single dental implant, a full smile makeover with veneers, or your child's very first checkup, we'd be honored to be the practice you call when something comes up.
Why Folsom families choose us
Folsom is unusually multilingual for a Sacramento-area suburb — a reflection of Intel's international workforce, a long-established Russian and Ukrainian community, an active Iranian-American population, and a steady flow of new families from across the Middle East and Latin America. Our team speaks English, Arabic, Farsi, Russian, Armenian, Ukrainian, and Spanish, which means most patients can hear treatment plans explained in their first language by an actual team member, not a translation app or an awkward speakerphone call to a relative.
We're also a multi-doctor practice. Dr. Fady Khalil co-founded the office and focuses on comprehensive general and cosmetic care; Dr. Sherif Hassan, who co-owns the practice with him, brings a Fellow of Oral Implantology background to surgical and implant cases; and Dr. Cyrus Sani rounds out our general-dentist roster. Having three dentists under one roof matters in practice — you can typically book sooner, second opinions happen down the hallway instead of across town, and complex cases like a cracked molar that turns into a crown-and-implant decision can be sequenced inside a single practice rather than handed off.
On the technology side, our office runs on digital workflows that you'd expect from a modern Folsom dental practice: digital intraoral X-rays at a fraction of historic radiation doses, intraoral cameras so you can see what we see on a chairside monitor, soft-tissue laser tools for certain hygiene cases, and digital scanning for crowns, Invisalign, and nightguards. You can read more about the systems we use on our dental technology page.
For patients without insurance — and we see plenty of small-business owners, gig workers, and freelancers in Folsom — we run two flat-rate in-house Smile Protection Plans. They bundle the year's preventive care (cleanings, exams, X-rays, fluoride, and an emergency visit) into a single annual fee, plus a 10% discount on any treatment beyond that. For most uninsured patients, the math works out cheaper than a single out-of-pocket cleaning at a typical fee-for-service office.
Convenient location for every Folsom neighborhood
Our office sits in a small professional plaza on Creekside Drive, just north of East Bidwell Street. From U.S. 50, the closest exit is East Bidwell — head north, turn onto Creekside Drive, and the building is on your right. There's free, ground-level parking directly outside our suite (no garages, no validation), and the entrance is single-level with no stairs, which matters for patients with mobility limitations or anyone arriving with a stroller. Most Folsom neighborhoods are well under fifteen minutes door-to-door.
| Folsom Neighborhood | Approx. Drive Time | Typical Route |
|---|---|---|
| Old Town Folsom (Sutter Street) | ~7 minutes | Riley St south to East Bidwell |
| Empire Ranch | ~10 minutes | Empire Ranch Rd to E. Bidwell |
| Briggs Ranch | ~5 minutes | Briggs Ranch Dr to E. Bidwell |
| Lakehills | ~6 minutes | Blue Ravine Rd to E. Bidwell |
| Natoma Station | ~8 minutes | Iron Point Rd to E. Bidwell |
| Folsom Heights | ~10 minutes | U.S. 50 to E. Bidwell exit |
If you commute on U.S. 50 in either direction, we're an easy mid-morning or after-work stop — appointments before 9:00 AM and around 4:30 PM book up first for that reason. Our Saturday hours are children-by-appointment-only, which keeps weekends sane for our team and reliable for parents who can't pull a kid out of school for a routine cleaning during the week.
Comprehensive care for Folsom families
Folsom is a town of multigenerational households — grandparents who moved here for the schools twenty years ago, parents juggling Folsom Cordova Unified pickup schedules, and a steady wave of younger remote workers in the newer neighborhoods east of Empire Ranch. That mix shapes how we practice. Most weeks we're seeing brand-new patients in their twenties, parents booking back-to-back family appointments, and seniors maintaining longstanding bridge or denture work in the same afternoon.
General and preventive dentistry
Most adults benefit from a cleaning and exam every six months, with X-rays sequenced based on risk rather than the calendar. Our hygiene team handles routine cleanings, deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) for early gum disease, sealants for kids and cavity-prone teeth, and oral cancer screenings at every checkup. You'll also find digital X-rays, tooth-colored fillings, and extractions covered through our general dentistry service line. If you've fallen off a regular cleaning schedule, our cleanings page walks through what your "catch-up" visit will look like — no judgment, just a reset.
Cosmetic dentistry
Folsom patients commonly come in asking about whitening, straightening, or fixing one front tooth that's chipped, stained, or shifted slightly out of line. Our cosmetic dentistry work ranges from in-office and take-home teeth whitening to porcelain veneers for dramatic smile changes, and clear-aligner orthodontics with Invisalign for adults who never want to be seen in metal brackets. We approach cosmetic cases conservatively — we'd rather refresh enamel with whitening and minor bonding than prep eight veneers when you only need two. A thoughtful smile design starts with a conversation about your everyday face, not a brochure.
Restorative dentistry
When teeth are broken, missing, or worn down, our restorative dentistry team rebuilds bite, function, and appearance — typically in the order of biting first, looking second. That can mean a single-tooth crown after a fractured molar, a multi-unit bridge, conventional or implant-supported dentures, or a full set of dental implants placed by Dr. Hassan. Implant cases are increasingly common for Folsom patients in their fifties and beyond, and we sequence them carefully — bone evaluation, surgical planning, healing time, and a final crown that matches the surrounding teeth.
Emergency dentistry
Cracked tooth at a Lakers game watch party. Knocked-out front tooth from a softball at Cummings Park. Sudden, throbbing molar pain on a Tuesday morning. We hold time in our schedule every day for emergency dentistry visits — when you call, we triage by symptom and try to see you the same day. Most dental emergencies are easier to resolve when treated quickly: a knocked-out adult tooth has a real chance of being saved if it's reimplanted within an hour, an abscess responds dramatically faster to antibiotics and drainage than to waiting it out, and a fractured cusp can often be saved with a crown when caught before the rest of the tooth gives way.
Pediatric dental care
Our pediatric dental care visits are friendly, unhurried, and aimed at making the dentist feel ordinary, not scary. We see kids beginning around the time their first molar erupts (typically twelve to eighteen months), help families establish brushing and flossing habits at home, and place sealants on cavity-prone permanent molars when the timing is right. Saturday morning visits for children are available by appointment, which reliably saves parents from pulling kids out of Folsom Cordova Unified or Buckeye Union School District classrooms during the week.
Insurance, membership, and financing
We're in-network or accept assignment for most major PPO dental plans, including Delta Dental Premier and PPO, MetLife, Cigna, Aetna, Guardian, Humana, United Healthcare, United Concordia, Principal, Premier Access, Caduceus, Dental Benefit Providers, and Liberty Insurance. That covers the great majority of plans offered by Folsom-area employers — Intel, Kaiser-affiliated organizations, the Folsom Cordova Unified School District, the City of Folsom, and most small businesses. Our patient care coordinator, Newsha, will verify your specific plan and out-of-pocket estimate before you arrive — see our insurance information page for the full list and what to bring to your first visit.
For uninsured patients, our two in-house membership plans bundle a year of preventive care for a flat fee. For larger treatment plans — orthodontics, multiple implants, full-mouth rehabilitation — we partner with both Cherry and CareCredit through our financing page, so you can spread payments across six, twelve, or twenty-four months at competitive rates rather than putting everything on a credit card.
"We try to make the financial side of dentistry as honest as the clinical side. You'll know what something costs, what your insurance is likely to pay, and what your out-of-pocket will be — before we start, not after."
Schedule a Folsom dental appointment
The fastest way to get on our schedule is a quick phone call to (916) 790-8755 — our front desk can usually find a routine slot within one to two weeks, and a same-day window for emergencies. If you'd rather request a visit online, our appointment form takes about ninety seconds and our team will call back to confirm.

Local context: a quick Folsom snapshot
Folsom sits at the edge of the Sacramento metro area where the suburban grid gives way to the foothills and the American River. The city's identity is shaped by three threads: Folsom Lake and the Folsom Lake bike trail that traces the lake's western shore down to Lake Natoma; the Intel Folsom Campus, which has anchored a tech-employer base since the 1980s; and Old Town Folsom's historic Sutter Street district, which still feels more 1880s than 2020s on a quiet Sunday morning. The Folsom Premium Outlets sit near the eastern edge of town, the Palladio at Broadstone draws weekend traffic from across the region, and the Folsom Powerhouse State Historic Park preserves the Gold Rush–era hydroelectric plant that powered Sacramento. The original residential neighborhoods around Lakehills coexist with newer master-planned communities like Empire Ranch and Folsom Heights, where many of our youngest families live.
The city's school system — Folsom Cordova Unified and the K–8 elementary feeders — is one of the strongest reasons families relocate here, and we see that demographic clearly in our schedule. Mid-morning slots fill with retirees and remote workers; after-school slots fill with kids and teens; and Friday afternoons are dominated by people squeezing in a cleaning before the weekend. According to the City of Folsom, the population has grown past 80,000 residents, with steady residential expansion south of U.S. 50 in the Folsom Plan Area. For a snapshot of what makes the community tick, the Folsom Chamber of Commerce is a good starting point.

Frequently Asked Questions for Folsom Patients
How do I find your Folsom office?

From U.S. 50, take the East Bidwell exit, head north, and turn onto Creekside Dr. Look for our suite signage at the front of the building. There is free, ground-level parking directly outside the entrance, and the suite is single-level with no stairs.
Are you taking new Folsom patients?
Yes — we are actively welcoming new patients from Folsom and the surrounding area. New-patient visits typically include a comprehensive exam, any necessary digital X-rays, and a one-on-one discussion of your goals before treatment is planned. To get on the schedule, call (916) 790-8755 or use the online appointment request on our website. Most new patients can be seen within one to two weeks for non-urgent visits and the same day for true dental emergencies.
Do you accept the major insurance plans Folsom employers use?
We accept most major PPO plans, including Delta Dental Premier and PPO, MetLife, Cigna, Aetna, Guardian, Humana, United Healthcare, United Concordia, Principal, Premier Access, and several others.

What languages does your Folsom team speak?
Our team speaks Arabic, English, Farsi, Russian, Armenian, Ukrainian, and Spanish. That reflects the genuinely multicultural makeup of Folsom and the broader Sacramento region — and it means most patients can hear treatment options explained in their first language by a team member, not a translation app. If you would like a specific language for your visit, mention it when you book and we will match you with the right team member.
