13 Reasons Californians Are Visiting the Dentist More Than Ever in 2025

Educational

At Sandy Dental PC, we’ve noticed a big shift: more Californians are prioritizing their dental health. From tech workers in Silicon Valley to busy parents in the suburbs, people across the state are booking more appointments — and not just for cleanings.

So why are people in California seeing the dentist more in 2025?

We break down 13 real reasons Californians are making oral health a priority — and how you can benefit too.

13 Reasons Californians Are Visiting the Dentist More Than Ever in 2025

1. Remote Work = More Flexibility for Appointments

Since the rise of remote work, many patients now have flexible schedules to book dental appointments during regular hours — no need to wait for Saturdays or miss work.

2. Dental Anxiety Is Being Treated Seriously

More clinics now offer gentle dentistry, sedation options, and anxiety-reducing amenities. At Sandy Dental PC, we specialize in making patients feel calm and safe from the moment they walk in.

3. Cosmetic Dentistry Is More Affordable Than Ever

From teeth whitening to veneers, Californians are investing in their smiles thanks to flexible financing and more affordable cosmetic treatments.

4. Increased Awareness of Gum Health

Social media and health podcasts are educating people on how gum health is linked to heart disease, diabetes, and overall wellness. This has led to a sharp increase in periodontal care visits.

5. Preventive Care Is In

Rather than waiting for pain or problems, more people are booking preventive cleanings and exams every 6 months. This helps them avoid costly procedures later on.

6. Orthodontics for Adults Is Trending

Invisalign and other clear aligners are huge among adults — especially millennials and Gen Z — who want a straighter smile without the look of traditional braces.

 

7. California’s Wellness Culture Includes Dental Health

People who care about clean eating, fitness, and mental health are now including oral health in the mix. Holistic, biocompatible dental options are gaining traction across the state.

8. More Dental Insurance Options Through Covered California

With better access to dental plans through Covered California, more people now have insurance — and they’re actually using it to get regular care.

9. Post-COVID Catch-Up Appointments

Thousands of Californians skipped dental visits during the pandemic. Now, they’re catching up on everything from cleanings to fillings and crowns.

10. Rise in Teeth Grinding and Stress-Related Issues

Stress and anxiety have led to a spike in teeth grinding (bruxism) since 2020. Custom-fitted night guards are becoming a common preventive treatment.

11. Smile Makeovers for Career Confidence

In a competitive job market, many are investing in cosmetic treatments like whitening, bonding, or veneers to feel more confident in interviews and client meetings.

12. Tech-Savvy Dental Clinics Make Booking Easy

Californians value convenience. Many modern clinics now offer online booking, text reminders, paperless records, and same-day treatment options — making it easier than ever to stay on track.

13. Environmental Concerns Spark Interest in Eco-Friendly Dentistry

Sustainability matters to many Californians. Eco-conscious dental practices using digital X-rays, biodegradable materials, and paperless systems are becoming increasingly popular.

Whether you’re overdue for a checkup, looking for a cosmetic upgrade, or simply exploring your dental options, now’s a great time to take care of your oral health. Sandy Dental PC is proud to support California’s growing movement toward smarter, healthier smiles.
