Dental care for Visalia, CA patients.
Unzicker Dental is in Hanford, about 21 miles west of Visalia, a drive of 25 to 30 minutes on Highway 198. Visalia has many dental offices of its own, and we are not one of them. The Visalia patients we see usually have a tie to Hanford: they work here, grew up here or have family who have come to this office for years.
About 21 miles east of our office, roughly 25 to 30 minutes on Highway 198. Our office is at 912 North Douty Street #B, Hanford, CA 93230.
Visalia and our practice.
A surprising number of people commute between Visalia and Hanford every day. If your job is in Hanford, a dentist near work can be easier than one near home. You can come in at lunch or at the end of the day without burning time off for the drive.
Others keep coming because of history. This practice opened in 1982, and some of our patients have never had another dentist. When they move to Visalia, to Fresno or even out of the area, a number of them keep their appointments here and plan visits around trips home.
If neither of those describes you and you are simply looking for a second opinion or a different kind of dental office, you are welcome too. We are glad to review a treatment plan and tell you how we see it.
