Where Road 426 actually goes
Road 426 branches off Highway 41 in town, and once you are on it the addresses spread out quickly. Number 49414 is easy to drive past the first time, and people do. The directions page has the approach written down, and calling from the car to be talked in is a normal part of the day here.
Nearly everyone else reaches this office on one of three roads. Highway 41 comes up from the south through Coarsegold and down from the north out of the Yosemite gateway country. Highway 49 arrives from the northwest past Ahwahnee. Road 200 feeds the highway from the North Fork side. If you live in Oakhurst, none of that applies to you, which is rather the point.
What happens in this building
Dr. Robert J. Brosi is a general dentist. Where a case belongs somewhere else, you will be told plainly rather than after the fact.
- Exams, cleanings and digital x-rays, including the screening part of the visit that has nothing to do with cavities.
- Crowns, bridges, dentures, implants and root canal therapy for teeth that are broken, failing or already gone.
- Veneers, whitening and tooth-colored fillings, planned so the result still looks like it belongs in your face.
- Diagnosis and treatment of gum disease, which is close to silent until it is advanced.
- Jaw pain and clenching, clear aligners and oral appliances for diagnosed sleep apnea.
- Broken teeth, lost crowns and swelling, handled as early in the day as we can manage.
Living in town changes what you can book
Most of this schedule is built around people driving in from somewhere else. Patients from North Fork, Wawona and Mariposa need long appointments planned well ahead, because the trip costs them most of a day either way. That has a useful side effect for anyone in Oakhurst: when a longer block opens up on short notice, you are the person who can take it.
So tell the front desk you are local and ask to be called if something frees up. It is also worth booking the next cleaning before you leave the building, because the recall slots that suit school runs and work shifts fill first.
The office runs Monday to Wednesday 8:30 am to 5:00 pm and Thursday 7:30 am to 4:00 pm, closed Friday through Sunday. The early Thursday start exists for people who have to be somewhere else by the middle of the morning.
Questions from people who live here
Do you have another office anywhere else?
No. There is one location, at 49414 Road 426 in Oakhurst, and everyone is seen there by the same people.
Something broke this morning. What are the odds of being seen today?
Better if you call early. Emergency time goes to whoever calls first, so a call at 8:30 is worth a great deal more than one at 3:00. Start with the dental emergency page while you wait.
I have not been to a dentist in years. Is that going to be a problem?
Not for us. A first visit runs longer because it covers the whole mouth once, properly, and ends with a written picture of where you stand. What to expect as a new patient.
