Convenient Access from Chino Hills
Parents who want a dentist in Chino Hills, CA for the whole household have an easy option just north of the 10. DNTL Studio is about 20 minutes from Chino Hills City Hall, in downtown Upland, and most of the drive stays on surface streets. Dr. Valay Desai and Dr. Prashant Amin care for teens, parents and grandparents alike, with visits from 8 AM, Monday through Thursday.
Leave the civic center through the City Center Drive roundabout and pick up Boys Republic Drive to Peyton Drive. Head north on Peyton Drive and continue on Garey Avenue into Pomona, then turn east on Orange Grove Avenue to reach I-10. Take the San Bernardino Freeway east for about five miles and exit at Euclid Avenue, then drive just over half a mile north. Expect about 12.6 miles and roughly 20 minutes, without touching the 71 or the 60.
The office is at 168 N Euclid Ave, Upland, CA 91786, on the east side of Euclid between E A St and 9th St. The art moderne Cooper Regional History Museum and the Upland Metrolink station are about 0.2 mile east, and Euclid's landscaped center median makes the avenue easy to recognize.

A Family Practice Built for Chino Hills Schedules
Chino Hills was laid out as a set of master-planned villages, each with its own parks and shopping, on land that was once part of the 1841 Rancho Santa Ana del Chino grant. The San Bernardino County city incorporated in 1991 and counted 78,411 residents in the 2020 census. The Chino Valley Freeway forms its eastern edge, and winding Carbon Canyon Road links it west toward Brea.
Homes here tend to be busy ones. Between work, school and weekend activities at the Chino Hills Community Center on Peyton Drive or the historic McCoy Equestrian Center next door, parents need a dental office that respects their time. Our team works to make each visit efficient, and we explain clearly what each child needs before any treatment starts.
DNTL Studio is privately owned, and that shows in how we work. We get to know each patient's history, remember the details from one visit to the next and keep the atmosphere calm and welcoming. Teens who dread the dentist may find the relaxed, family-friendly setting a pleasant surprise.
Nearby, Chino Hills State Park covers more than 14,000 acres of open hills where three counties meet. That outdoor lifestyle is part of what makes the area appealing, and healthy smiles are part of enjoying it.
Growing Up in Chino Hills: Teen and Family Dental Priorities
Chino Hills teens attend Chino Hills High School and Ruben S. Ayala High School in Chino Valley Unified. The teen years bring their own dental milestones. Wisdom teeth start to come in and sometimes crowd the back of the mouth, while many students want straighter teeth before senior pictures.
Clear aligners are popular with this age group because they come out for meals, sports and photos. Our iTero digital scanner creates a digital model of the teeth, so there are no messy impression trays. For new patients, a free Invisalign consultation is the first step to learning whether aligners make sense.
Parents benefit from the same attention. A regular cleaning and exam schedule, explained in our cleanings and exams page, keeps small issues small for every member of the family. When a tooth does need more work, we talk through the options plainly and help you decide what to do first.
Care for Families Comparing a Dentist in Chino Hills, CA
Invisalign
Removable clear aligners straighten teeth gradually without brackets or wires. Teens and adults can start with a free consultation as new patients.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
When third molars are impacted or crowding other teeth, removal can prevent pain and infection. Dr. Amin is experienced with complex wisdom tooth cases.
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings, exams and digital x-rays help our dentists find cavities and gum problems early. Regular visits are the simplest way to avoid bigger repairs later.
Root Canal Therapy
An infected or deeply decayed tooth can often be saved by cleaning out the inner pulp and sealing it. Saving the natural tooth keeps your bite stable.
Life with teenagers rarely runs on a predictable schedule, and dental problems are no exception. A cracked molar from a hard snack or a sudden toothache during finals week needs prompt attention. Our office offers same-day appointments whenever possible, Monday through Thursday, so a painful tooth does not have to wait for a routine opening.
Weekday rush hour on I-10 adds time to the drive, so a late-morning or early-afternoon visit is often easier. That window also tends to fit around school pickups and after-school practices. The front desk is happy to suggest times that work for your household.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is DNTL Studio from Chino Hills, and how do I get there?
From Chino Hills City Hall, our office is roughly 12.6 miles away, or about 20 minutes by car. Peyton Drive and Garey Avenue run north into Pomona, and Orange Grove Avenue connects to I-10 east and the Euclid Avenue exit. If you need a dentist in Chino Hills, CA with simple directions, we are at 168 N Euclid Ave in Upland.
What problems can impacted wisdom teeth cause?
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling and infection in the gums around them. They may also push against the molars in front, trap food that leads to decay, or in some cases form cysts in the jaw. X-rays show whether a tooth is stuck, and Dr. Amin is skilled in complex wisdom tooth removal.
How much does an Invisalign consultation cost?
Nothing, if you are a new patient. Our Free Invisalign Consultation is a chance to have your smile checked and talk about whether clear aligners suit your teeth and goals. If you decide to move forward, the team will review your insurance benefits and payment choices, including CareCredit, before treatment begins.
What are the warning signs that a tooth might need a root canal?
Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, a deep toothache when chewing, a darkened tooth or a small bump on the gum near one tooth are common warning signs. Some infected teeth cause no pain at all, which is why routine x-rays matter. Calling early gives the best chance of saving the tooth.
How should my teen care for their teeth during Invisalign treatment?
Brush and floss before putting the aligners back in after every meal or snack. Food trapped under the trays sits against the teeth for hours, which raises the risk of cavities. Rinse the aligners when you take them out, drink only plain water while wearing them and keep regular cleanings on the calendar throughout treatment.
