Serving San Joaquin County from north Stockton

One practice for San Joaquin County

James Van Sicklen, Jr., DDS has cared for San Joaquin County smiles for more than 30 years from the same office at 1372 W Robinhood Dr Ste E, Stockton. He earned his undergraduate degree at the University of the Pacific here in Stockton and his DDS at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco, and he has practised in this region ever since.

The office sits in north Stockton rather than downtown, which is the practical reason patients travel to us from across the county. Highway 99 and Interstate 5 both feed into the area, and you can reach us without working through city-centre traffic.

The same care, wherever you drive from

The pages above differ in how you get here and what patients from each community most often need. What does not differ is the treatment itself. Every patient sees Dr. Van Sicklen rather than whoever is on rotation, and much of a first visit is spent explaining your individual treatment and getting to know you before anything is scheduled.

Because we treat every age in one practice, households are usually seen together, from a child's first visit through routine exams and cleanings to implants and dentures. The full range is on our services pages.

If something happens suddenly

Distance matters most in an emergency. If a tooth is broken or knocked out, a restoration comes loose, or a toothache becomes debilitating, call (209) 951-3436 rather than waiting for a reply to an online form. Our emergency dentistry pages set out what to do in the first few minutes, which genuinely affects the outcome for a knocked-out tooth.

Before your first appointment

We are currently accepting new patients from across the county. Completing your new patient forms in advance means more of the visit is spent on your teeth than on paperwork, and our patient information page covers insurance and payment. We accept most major plans including Delta Dental, along with cash, check, major credit cards and CareCredit.
