Channing Dental has served the Berkeley community for more than eight decades. We combine the warmth of a local practice with technology your grandparents could only dream of.
When Dr. Hites opened his practice on Channing Way in 1941, the East Bay looked very different. Through eight decades of change, one thing hasn't: our commitment to this community. Dr. Suri and the team carry that same spirit forward with modern technology, compassionate care, and a belief that great dental health should be accessible to every Berkeley family.
We see neighbors, not patients. Every person who walks through our door gets the same care we'd give our own families.
Open until 8pm Monday through Thursday, and Saturdays from 9am to 3pm. We work around your schedule, not the other way around.
Our team speaks English, Spanish, Mandarin, Hindi, Punjabi, Russian, and Amharic. You'll always understand your care.
Channing Dental is the first practice in Berkeley to offer the Yomi Robotic System for dental implant surgery. Yomi provides haptic-guided precision that no human hand can match, resulting in less discomfort, faster healing, and outcomes that last a lifetime.
From a child's first cleaning to a full-mouth rehabilitation, we handle it all — under one roof, blocks from campus.
Cleanings, exams, fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals, and preventive care for every age.
Veneers, bonding, full-mouth rehabilitation, and smile makeovers that look completely natural.
Tooth extractions, wisdom teeth, bone grafting, and robot-assisted dental implants with Yomi.
Invisalign clear aligners and clear braces — straighten your smile without the metal mouth.
Gum disease treatment, scaling and root planing, and gum grafting from our board-certified periodontist.
Same-day appointments for dental emergencies. Toothache, accident, or infection — we make room for you.
