About Family Dentistry
Regency Dental Group is a true family practice. We care for kindergartners at their first visit, teens in braces, parents juggling schedules, and grandparents managing crowns and partials, all in the same office with the same team. That matters for two practical reasons. First, one office means one set of records, one phone number, and back-to-back appointments so you are not driving across Solano County for separate providers. Second, a dentist who has seen a family for years understands its patterns: the inherited enamel that chips easily, the teenager who grinds during finals week, the parent whose gums flare whenever life gets stressful.
Our clinical range covers almost everything a family needs. Preventive cleanings and exams are the foundation. Tooth-colored fillings repair cavities invisibly. Same-day CEREC crowns rebuild broken teeth in a single visit, which is a genuine gift for busy parents. We provide teeth whitening, veneers and bonding for adults who want to refine their smile, and gum disease treatment for the many adults who have early periodontal changes without knowing it.
We see children from age 3, when most kids can sit for a short, friendly visit. Early appointments are about trust as much as teeth: a ride in the chair, a count of the teeth, a polish, and a prize. Children who grow up with positive dental visits become adults who keep their appointments. For adults with dental anxiety, we offer oral sedation and a genuinely patient chairside manner.
Dr. Lance Carter is a general dentist. When a family member needs care outside a general dentist's scope, such as complex orthodontic treatment, wisdom teeth surgery or advanced gum surgery, we coordinate the referral with a trusted local specialist and stay involved in the plan.

Is it right for you?
Families who want a single dental home rather than separate offices for children and adults. Parents who value consistency and a team that remembers their kids. Adults who have put off their own care while managing everyone else's. Households moving to Vacaville, Fairfield, Dixon or Travis Air Force Base who need a practice that accepts new patients and is in network with Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife and Dental Benefit Providers plans. Children age 3 and older can be seen here; if your child is younger, has special healthcare needs, or is very fearful, we will tell you honestly whether a pediatric dental office would serve them better.
What to expect at your visit
New families usually start with a comprehensive exam and cleaning for each member, scheduled together when possible. Kids meet the team, ride in the chair, and have their teeth counted and polished. Adults receive a full exam with X-rays as needed, periodontal charting and a conversation with Dr. Carter about any concerns. From there we build a simple, prioritized plan for each person. Urgent issues come first, then preventive maintenance, then elective improvements, on a timeline and budget that make sense for your household.
Why choose Regency Dental Group
Continuity is the quiet advantage of a family practice that has stayed in one place for decades. Our hygienists and assistants have long tenures, so your family sees familiar faces rather than a rotating cast. Dr. Carter explains treatment in plain language and shows you what he sees on the screen, which builds the kind of trust that makes children willing patients and adults confident decision-makers.
Our office is equipped for efficiency: digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and CEREC technology that lets us design and mill a ceramic crown while you wait. For families, that often means a broken tooth is fully repaired in one afternoon instead of two visits weeks apart. We also handle the administrative side well, verifying insurance in advance, explaining costs before treatment, and offering CareCredit for larger treatment plans.
Cost, insurance and timing
We see children age 3 and older. Infants and toddlers, children with significant special needs, and children requiring general anesthesia are best served by a pediatric dental office, and we will refer you. Dr. Carter is a general dentist; orthodontic, surgical and periodontal specialty care is coordinated with local specialists when needed.
