Why this practice

Made for people who've been putting this off.

Sacramento Dental Medicine runs on a simple idea: clear answers, gentle hands, and enough time to do things right. You'll always know what we found and what happens next, before any treatment begins.

Straight answers first

No upsell, no scare tactics. An honest read on your teeth, and a plan you understand before you commit to anything.

Comfort, by design

Computer-guided anesthesia, an unhurried pace, and a team that treats dental nerves as normal, because they are.

Diagnosed, not guessed

CBCT 3D imaging and digital X-rays show the full picture before we recommend anything.

Full-scope care

From first cleanings to full restorations.

Preventive, cosmetic, restorative, and surgical care in one place, from a team that knows your history, your goals, and exactly how you feel about dental chairs.

Oral surgery

Extractions and wisdom teeth handled gently in-house, with specialists brought in when a case calls for one.

Technology & comfort

Modern tools, calmer appointments.

Nothing in these rooms is for show. Every tool earned its place by making visits measurably better: clearer diagnosis, gentler treatment, fewer surprises.

  1. CBCT 3D imaging

    A full 3D view of teeth, roots, and bone, so implants and surgery are planned on the whole picture.

  2. The Wand STA

    Computer-controlled numbing that trades the dreaded syringe for a slow, precise, barely-there flow.

  3. Soft tissue laser

    Treats gum tissue with less bleeding, less soreness, and faster healing than traditional tools.

  4. Digital X-rays

    Sharper images at a fraction of the radiation, on screen in seconds.

  5. Oral cancer screening

    Part of every routine exam, because with oral cancer, early is everything.

  6. Modern sterilization

    Distilled-water lines and strict protocols in every treatment room, every day.

Meet the doctors

Two doctors who will actually know you.

No rotating cast of strangers — the same two doctors, and both would rather explain too much than too little.

Dr. Michael Narodovich, DMD

Family & cosmetic dentistry

Dr. Michael Narodovich, DMD

Patients call him Dr. Mike. He's who people ask for after years away from the chair: modern technique, steady hands, and zero judgment about how long it's been.

Gentle by default · Anxious-patient care

Meet Dr. Narodovich
Dr. Lucas L. Sheppard, DMD

Endodontics

Dr. Lucas L. Sheppard, DMD

A root canal specialist and U.S. Air Force veteran, Dr. Sheppard takes on the complex cases. He diagnoses carefully and explains each step, which is how the words "root canal" stop being scary.
