About

Meet Dr. Anastasia Calciano, the dynamic and much-admired heart of Total Health Dental Care's Piedmont office, renowned for her unparalleled skill, empathetic care, and influential leadership in the dental world. Born and raised in the beautiful Santa Cruz, CA, Dr. Calciano's path to dentistry was paved with a deep-seated passion for helping others, coupled with an innate ability to soothe even the most nervous of patients. Her academic journey took her from the sunny campus of Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles to the halls of the University of Pacific for dental school, culminating in an enriching stint in advanced General Dentistry training at the University of New Mexico. In the dental chair, Dr. Calciano is a maestro, skillfully orchestrating a range of procedures with a special flair for crowns, fillings, and the art of restoring implant-retained dentures. She prides herself on keeping up with the latest in dental tech, ensuring her patients benefit from the forefront of dental innovation. Her presidency of the Alameda Dental Society in 2023 is just one of the many feathers in her cap, showcasing her commitment to both her profession and the wider community. For four years, she's been an active board member, channeling her energies into organizing events and fundraisers to bring smiles to the underserved. At Total Health Dental Care for over seven years, Dr. Calciano is more than just a dentist – she's a pillar of support, a mentor, and a friend to her patients and colleagues. In her role as clinical director, she's a beacon of guidance, helping her fellow dentists navigate and excel in their dental careers. But who is Dr. Calciano when the gloves come off? She's an outdoor enthusiast, a skiing, hiking, and running aficionado, always ready for an adventure in the great outdoors. Yet, her most treasured role is that of being a mom to her two young children, where she blends the joys of family life with the thrills of her professional world. A fun fact? Dr. Calciano hails from a bustling household with eight siblings, instilling in her a lifelong love for teamwork and deep empathy. Dr. Calciano at the Piedmont office is more than your typical dentist; she's a vibrant story woven into the fabric of Total Health Dental Care. Her patients not only receive top-notch dental care but are also treated to her uniquely warm and engaging approach, ensuring each visit is not just comfortable, but also a genuinely enjoyable experience.

Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?

I believe that my patients deserve the best dentistry possible and that patient experience is key to my success as a doctor. I’m dedicated to making sure each of my patients feels relaxed, comfortable and confident in the treatment. To that goal, I enjoy explaining each diagnosis and encourage my patients to ask any questions they may have. I also strive to empower my patients with the knowledge to take control of their health. I focus on prevention and use nutrition as a tool to help patients overcome long-term dental issues such as gum disease, loss of teeth and cavities. I love people and seek to develop lasting professional relationships with my patients.

What are the top 3 treatments that you focus on?

At Total Health, we do everything under one roof. Our team of specialists do everything from periodontal treatments to oral surgery, orthodontic and implants.

What are you proud of in your practice?

I am proud of the excellent dentistry and exceptional experience we provide. Our patients rave about us on Yelp and Google. It’s fulfilling to see a new patient come in with some level of anxiety and leave feeling 100% comfortable with and confident in the cleaning or treatment. Our patients leave feeling good about themselves. They leave smiling.

Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

Since dentistry is a combination of science and art, every case is fulfilling. I really love helping people. It’s an incredible feeling to see a patient smile with confidence and genuine happiness after an office visit.

    She was knowledgeable and friendly, and the entire staff made me feel comfortable and welcome. They have me a tour of the entire office upon arrival, and showed me all of the new technology that they use there. Dr Calciano took photos of my teeth to show me exactly where the problems were and I found that really comforting.
