If you're looking for a dentist El Dorado Hills residents can get to easily, here's the honest version first: Creekside Dentistry isn't in El Dorado Hills. We're in Folsom, at 825 E Bidwell St, Suite 400, about a 15-minute drive from El Dorado Hills Town Center via US-50 West.
Patients from El Dorado Hills are welcome, and the reason to make the short trip is simple: one office handles nearly everything a household needs, from a child's first checkup to a complete set of implant teeth.

When every appointment includes a drive, two things matter more than usual: how many visits a treatment takes, and how many different offices you end up visiting. Creekside is set up to keep both numbers low.
- One dentist from plan to finished tooth. Dr. Hamid Nasr places and restores dental implants himself, in the office, including full-arch cases where an entire upper or lower set of teeth is replaced. The same doctor who plans your treatment is the one who completes it, so you aren't carrying records between practices.
- Fewer trips for crowns. With CEREC, a crown is designed and milled here while you wait. Many patients have an exam, a root canal, and a finished crown in a single appointment, which saves a second drive and a temporary crown.
- 3D imaging in the building. Implant planning uses cone-beam 3D imaging on site, so bone, nerves, and sinuses are measured before treatment begins, without a separate trip to an imaging center.
- Dentistry and medicine under one roof. The building is shared with Folsom Medical Center, the internal medicine practice of Dr. Sholeh Rahimi, M.D., Ph.D. For patients managing health conditions alongside dental care, that convenience adds up.
Dr. Nasr has 30 years in dentistry, 26 of them in this community. He is a member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and the International Dental Implant Association, and he has lectured nationally and internationally on cosmetic and implant dentistry.
What you can have done here
Most of what a household needs over the years is available in one place:
- Family and general dentistry: cleanings, exams, digital X-rays, fillings, and care for kids through grandparents
- Dental implants: single-tooth replacement, planned in 3D
- Full-arch implants: a fixed set of teeth on implants for people missing most or all of their teeth
- Same-day crowns: CEREC crowns designed and milled in one visit
- Cosmetic dentistry: porcelain veneers, in-office whitening, and tooth-colored fillings
- Invisalign: clear aligners planned from a digital scan
- Emergency care: call the office for a broken tooth, severe pain, or swelling

Your first visit
Getting started takes a phone call or a few clicks.
- 1Book. Call (916) 983-8777 or request an appointment online, and tell us what brings you in, whether it's a routine checkup, a chipped tooth, or a second opinion on implants.
- 2Fill out forms ahead of time. The new patient page explains what to bring and what to expect, so your visit starts on time.
- 3Bring the basics. Your insurance card, a list of the medications you take, and any recent dental X-rays you have.
- 4Exam and conversation. Dr. Nasr examines your teeth and gums, takes digital X-rays as needed, and explains what he sees in plain language. If treatment is recommended, you'll get a clear plan and the cost before anything starts.
Since you're driving in, mention it when you schedule. We'll keep it in mind when we plan the number and order of your visits.
If dental visits make you anxious, tell the front desk. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is available, and Dr. Nasr can prescribe medication to help you relax before your appointment. If you take it, you'll need someone to drive you to and from your appointment.
Insurance and payment plans
Creekside accepts most PPO dental insurance plans. Before treatment, the front desk checks your benefits so you know what's covered and what your share will be.
What a treatment costs depends on what's involved: how many teeth, which materials, whether imaging or several stages are needed, and what your plan covers. For larger treatment such as implants, in-house monthly payment plans can spread the cost over time.
Whether you searched for a dentist in El Dorado Hills or simply one worth a short drive, we'd be glad to meet you. Call (916) 983-8777 or book your first visit.
