Meet Dr. Von Chan – Your Trusted Family Dentist
Dr. Von Chan brings compassion, skill, and a warm chairside manner to every patient interaction. A proud dental professional, she has dedicated her career to making dental visits less stressful and empowering for individuals and families.
Her approach to family dentistry isn’t just about cleanings and exams—it’s about building lifelong relationships with patients and ensuring each person receives care tailored to their needs.
What Is Family Dentistry?
Family dentistry focuses on providing comprehensive oral health care for patients of all ages. From toddlers visiting for their first cleaning to older people maintaining their beautiful smiles, a family dentist understands the unique dental needs of each stage of life.
Our Petaluma office treats more than teeth—we care for people. With services that include preventive cleanings and exams, dental fillings, and even cosmetic options, we ensure every family member can access the care they need in one convenient location.

When you choose Dr. Von Chan for family dentistry, you’re choosing a provider who:
- Listen carefully to your concerns

Our practice accommodates busy family schedules and offers flexible appointments so parents don’t need to travel between offices for their children and themselves.
Preventive Care for Lifelong Smiles
A key element of effective family dentistry is prevention. Our goal is to catch small issues before they become big problems. Regular cleanings and exams help prevent cavities, gum disease, and more complex dental problems.
To support your lifelong smile, we offer a suite of advanced preventive services:
- Digital X-rays for Safe, Accurate Diagnostics: We utilize state-of-the-art digital X-ray technology, which provides highly detailed images of your teeth, roots, and jawbone with significantly reduced radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays.
- Oral Cancer Screenings: We conduct thorough oral cancer screenings as part of every routine dental exam. This vital, quick, and painless check involves carefully examining your mouth, throat, tongue, and gums for any unusual lumps, sores, discolored patches, or other suspicious signs.
- Fluoride Treatments and Sealants for Kids: We offer powerful preventative measures for our youngest patients. Fluoride treatments help strengthen tooth enamel, making teeth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars, thus preventing cavities. Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, effectively sealing out food particles and cavity-causing bacteria from the grooves and pits where decay most often begins.
- Personalized Oral Hygiene Instruction: Our dental hygienists will provide tailored guidance on proper brushing and flossing methods, recommend the best oral care products for your specific needs, and answer any questions about your daily routine.
Options for Restorative and Cosmetic Dentistry
Life happens, and sometimes teeth need a little help to look and feel their best again. Whether you need to repair a chipped tooth, replace a missing one, or brighten your smile, our office has you covered with comprehensive restorative and cosmetic treatments. Some of our popular services include:
- Tooth-colored fillings
- Crowns and bridges
- Dentures and partials
- Teeth whitening
- Veneers
Our goal is always to restore function while enhancing your natural smile.
