If you've been putting off a dental visit because you're worried about cost, insurance, or finding a dentist who actually has openings, Haraz Dental Group is built for exactly that problem. We're an affordable dentist in Northwest Fresno that accepts Medi-Cal, Denti-Cal, and most PPO insurance plans, offers same-day and emergency appointments, and keeps our doors open to new patients every week — no long waitlists, no runaround.

Northwest Fresno isn't one giant neighborhood — it's a mix of established communities like Fig Garden and Woodward Park, newer developments near Highway 41, and busy corridors around Herndon Avenue where families are constantly on the move between work, school, and everything in between. Our First Street location sits right in the middle of that daily traffic, making it an easy stop whether you're heading toward River Park Shopping Center or coming from the neighborhoods closer to the San Joaquin River Parkway.
Dental anxiety usually comes from two places: not knowing what something will cost, and not knowing if the dentist will actually listen. We fix both. Before any treatment, we walk you through pricing in plain language, explain what your insurance covers, and lay out payment options if you're paying out of pocket. That's what "affordable" actually means here — not a vague promise, but a clear number before you sit in the chair.
You shouldn't have to bounce between three different offices for basic dental care. At this location, you get: General & Preventive Dentistry — cleanings, exams, and checkups that catch problems early Restorative Dentistry — fillings, crowns, and root canals when a tooth needs real repair Oral Surgery & Wisdom Teeth Removal— handled in-house, not referred out Dental Implants — a permanent fix for missing teeth Gum Disease Treatment — because healthy gums are half the battle Cosmetic Dentistry — for the smile changes patients actually ask about Pediatric Dentistry — so your kids can see the same dentist you do Emergency Dental Care — same-day help when a tooth won't wait That last one matters more than people think. A cracked tooth or sudden abscess doesn't check your calendar first, which is why walk-in and same-day emergency slots are held open during the week.
Dr. Muhammad Nadeem, our oral surgeon, has spent over 20 years focused on implants, wisdom teeth extractions, and bone grafting — the kind of surgical work that requires precision you can't fake. Patients dealing with impacted wisdom teeth or missing-tooth replacement end up in his chair for a reason. Dr. Amandeep Kaur Randhawa handles the general and restorative side — root canals, crowns, and day-to-day family dentistry. She's built a reputation specifically for working well with anxious patients, which sounds simple until you realize how many people avoid the dentist for years because a past visit went badly. You can read more about both doctors' backgrounds on our About Us page.
Three things come up again and again when patients explain why they stayed: First, nobody gets turned away over insurance confusion. Our front desk verifies Medi-Cal, Denti-Cal, and PPO benefits before your appointment, not after, so there are no surprise bills. Second, appointments actually happen on time. If you've got a lunch break or need to get back for school pickup near Bullard High or the surrounding NW Fresno schools, that matters. Third, this is a family dentist in the literal sense — grandparents, parents, and kids often see us on the same day, sometimes back to back.
We work with most major PPO carriers and accept Medi-Cal and Denti-Cal for qualifying patients, which is one of the biggest reasons families from Fig Garden to the neighborhoods near Highway 41 choose us over practices that only take one or two plan types. If you're uninsured, ask about our new patient offers — we'd rather find a way to treat you than have you skip care entirely.
Severe tooth pain, a broken crown, a knocked-out tooth from a weekend sports game — these need same-day attention, not a callback next Tuesday. Emergency slots are reserved daily specifically so Northwest Fresno patients aren't stuck sitting on a problem that's getting worse by the hour.
Don't wait on a toothache, and don't wait on affordable care that's actually nearby. Call to schedule your appointment at Haraz Dental Group, 6099 N First Street, Fresno, CA 93710 — or request your visit online at harazdentalgroup.com. New patients, Medi-Cal, Denti-Cal, and PPO insurance are all welcome.
