This guide is built only from the registry data behind those listings, which covers addresses, ZIP codes, provider type and registration dates. It contains no rankings. What it can tell you is how much dental care actually sits in these streets and where you would need to go for the rest.
What is listed in Campus Commons
The 34 listings sit across two ZIP codes, 95825 and 95819, and they concentrate on one road. Scripps Drive accounts for 22 of them, combining the 19 filed as Scripps Dr with the 3 filed as Scripps Drive, which are the same street written two ways in federal records. Fair Oaks Blvd has 5, Cadillac Dr has 4 and Commons Dr has 1.
Registration here leans heavily toward individuals: 26 of the 34 are held by an individual practitioner and only 8 by an organization. The names reflect that, from Agnes S Yumiaco, DMD to A Scott Grivas III DDS INC. It describes how the practice is registered, not its size or standard.
Twenty three of the 34 were registered before 2010, and the oldest goes back to 2005. That is roughly two thirds with fifteen years or more at the same registered address.

How to choose between them
With 29 general dentistry listings, routine care is well covered and you can afford to choose on fit rather than availability. Ask whether you see the same dentist each visit, how far ahead cleanings are booked, and whether the practice tells you clearly which recommended work is urgent and which can wait.
The specialties present are all thin: two orthodontists, two periodontists, two endodontists and a single oral surgeon. Two listings can easily mean no appointment this month, so treat the local specialist as a first call rather than the plan. Ask your general dentist where they normally refer and why.
None of the 34 have a website or opening hours recorded in the registry, so expect to call. Confirm on that call whether they are taking new patients and whether they are in network for your plan.
If you need something Campus Commons does not have
Two specialties are absent. Pediatric dentistry and prosthodontics both point elsewhere in Sacramento, about 1.7 miles away, where there are 39 pediatric listings and 14 prosthodontic. Neither is a long trip, and for a children's dentist you would have far more choice there than here in any case.
For general care the surrounding neighborhoods are close and well supplied. Sierra Oaks is 0.3 miles away with 42 practices, more than Campus Commons itself, and River Park has 21 at 0.5 miles. Arden-Arcade has 112 listings at 2.4 miles, East Sacramento 19 at 2 miles, Tahoe Park 6 at 1.6 miles and College/Glen 4 at 2.3 miles.
Insurance and paying
Network status is what moves the bill. An in network practice has agreed rates with your plan, so your share comes off a discounted fee. An out of network practice has not, and you may owe the difference between the fee charged and what your plan considers allowable.
For anything past an exam and cleaning, ask for a written estimate that lists procedure codes, and ask your plan to pre authorize it before treatment starts.
It is worth being clear about what these listings can show. They come from a federal provider registry holding names, addresses, credentials and specialty codes, with no fees, no opening hours and no insurance networks anywhere in it. That is why claimed listings matter, since claiming lets a practice add exactly those details. None of the 34 in Campus Commons have been claimed yet.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost crown or filling, or pain that is worsening, call the general dentistry listings on Scripps Drive and Fair Oaks Blvd and ask plainly for same day care. Since no hours are published for any practice here, calling down the list is the only way to find an opening.
Some symptoms call for an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go to the ER if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down into your neck, if breathing or swallowing is getting difficult, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop.
If nothing nearby can help today, search outward by distance at dentist directory instead of by neighborhood.
