ABOUT THE DOCTOR:

Dr. Alcaide opened his office in August 2015 with a desire to show children the benefits and rewards of going to dental visits, and as well as practicing good dental care at home. It all began when “Dr. Jeff” (as his patients sometimes call him) enjoyed seeing pediatric patients as a dental student-- he naturally made the decision to specialize a few years later. 

Dr. Alcaide completed his specialized training in Pediatric Dentistry from Loma Linda University and has been in private practice for 9 years. He is board certified, and practiced in a variety of different settings before settling in Cupertino, California.  He currently lives on the peninsula with his wife and young daughter. In his spare time Dr. Jeff enjoys spending time with family, volunteering for various children’s dental charities,  and traveling.

FOR OUR PROSPECTIVE NEW PATIENT(S):

After scheduling an appointment, you have the option of having our paperwork emailed to you, or your may complete them in office.

A required Notice of Privacy Practices (HIPAA), and Dental Materials Fact Sheet are on display in our reception area, and the Dental Materials Fact Sheet can also be downloaded from the Dental Board of California website. We are happy to answer your questions or make copies of this information for you on request.

All visits include an exam and consultation with Dr. Alcaide. Additional time is factored in to answer your most important question(s). Most new patients visits are 45-60 minutes in duration, dependent on the age of your child.

Additionally, major treatment is usually not recommended for the first visit. We do this to encourage a “no-cry” visit, which may help to strengthen the relationship between doctor and child patient prior to actual treatment.
