Our Doctor:  

Dr. Pappenfus received his B.A. in zoology from the University of California at Santa Barbara.  He continued his education at the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco where he received a B.S. and D.D.S. He opened his general Practice in Pittsburg in 1974, and has been involved in civic and community affairs in Pittsburg for many years.  Dr. Pappenfus strongly believes in and spends considerable time in post graduate classes keeping current with the latest accepted dental technologies.   

Our Philosophy:

Prevention of Dental problems and reduction in cosmetics is our ultimate goal.  With modern dental techniques, dental services can be performed comfortably.  We work with you, our patients, in a partnership, meeting your personal dental needs to achieve a healthy, comfortable, attractive smile that will last a lifetime.  We aim to restore and maintain your mouth, teeth and gums to optimum health while keeping your personal budget in mind. 

Since prevention of disease is of the highest importance both physically and economically, Dr. Pappenfus and our highly qualified staff are committed to help each patient become competent in his or her own home care. Our preventive oriented family practice has been in Pittsburg for over 37 years. 

We invite you to experience dental care in a warm and friendly atmosphere where your comfort is #1. 

Your Time is valuable:

We recognize that you have a lot of living to do outside of our office, so we try to take as little of your time as possible.  Our office hours reflect a concern for your schedule.  Evening appointments are available.
