Trusted Dentist Near Fresno State
Between classes, shifts, and everything else pulling at your schedule, the last thing you want to worry about is whether a dentist near campus is actually any good. Haraz Dental Group sits a quick drive from Fresno State, off the Shaw and Cedar corridor, and has built its reputation on one simple standard: treat every patient — student, staff, or longtime Fresno family, the way you'd want a friend treated. Our office is easy to reach from campus. Head down Cedar Avenue or Shaw Avenue, past Woodward Park and the neighborhoods around Old Fig Garden and Sunnyside, and you'll find us on N First Street. Students living in the dorms or off-campus housing near the Duck Pond and Bulldog Stadium, faculty commuting in from Clovis, and staff who've worked the area for years all trust us with the same care. It's a fast-moving, mixed community — young students living alongside longtime homeowners — and we've built our schedule to work around both: early appointments before an 8 a.m. class, later slots after a shift ends.
Why Trust Matters More Than Convenience
Anyone can open a dental office near a university and hope for foot traffic. What actually earns trust is different: doctors who explain things clearly, prices that don't surprise you at checkout, and a team that remembers your name after the first visit. That's the standard we hold ourselves to, and it's why so many Fresno State students end up staying with us long after graduation, even after they've moved across town or taken a job in another part of the city. We'd rather earn a patient for years than rush through a single appointment.
About the Doctors You'll See
Dr. Muhammad Nadeem brings over 20 years of experience as an oral surgeon, specializing in dental implants, wisdom teeth extractions, and bone grafting. If you're a student dealing with impacted wisdom teeth — a common issue in your late teens and early twenties — Dr. Nadeem is exactly the surgeon you want handling it. Dr. Amandeep Kaur Randhawa oversees general and restorative dentistry, including root canals and crowns. She's especially known for putting anxious patients at ease, which matters a lot for anyone who's been avoiding the dentist because of a bad past experience.
A Full Range of Services, Close to Campus
You don't need to drive across town for different dental needs. Our office covers: General & Preventive Dentistry for routine cleanings and checkups Restorative Dentistry, including fillings, crowns, and root canals Oral Surgery & Wisdom Teeth Removal, led by Dr. Nadeem Dental Implants for missing or damaged teeth Gum Disease Treatment to catch and manage periodontal issues early Cosmetic Dentistry for whitening, veneers, and smile improvements Pediatric Dentistry for faculty and staff raising young families nearby Emergency Dental Care for pain that can't wait until next week
Insurance and Affordability, Explained Simply
We accept Medi-Cal and Denti-Cal, along with most PPO insurance plans, which matters a great deal for students on tight budgets and staff comparing coverage options. Before any treatment begins, we'll walk you through exactly what your plan covers and what you'd owe out of pocket. Affordable care shouldn't come with hidden fees or vague answers, and we make a point of avoiding both.
When You Can't Wait: Emergency and Same-Day Care
A chipped tooth before finals week or a sudden abscess during finals season doesn't care about your schedule. Call us directly and we'll do everything we can to get you in the same day. Whether it's a cracked tooth, a lost crown, or a wisdom tooth extraction emergency, our team treats urgent pain as a priority, not an inconvenience.
Serving the Fresno State Community and Beyond
Beyond students and university staff, we regularly see patients from Sunnyside, Old Fig Garden, and the neighborhoods bordering Clovis to the east. Many longtime Fresno families near Fresno State have been coming to us for years, which says more about consistency than any advertisement could. We've also worked with plenty of international and out-of-state students who don't have a hometown dentist to fall back on, and we make sure that first visit feels straightforward, not stressful. Whether you're new to the area or you've lived near campus for a decade, you'll be treated like you belong here — because you do.
New Patients Are Always Welcome
If you're a freshman getting your first checkup away from your hometown dentist, a grad student who's put off dental care too long, or a faculty member looking for a family dentist your kids can grow up with, we'd love to meet you. There's no judgment for missed appointments in the past or gaps in care, just a fresh start with a team that listens.
