Blende Dental Group: Home of the House Call Dentists

The Blende Dental Group is Home of the House Call Dentists. Our vision is to remove barriers to dental care among vulnerable populations.

Changing lives one smile at a time: awake, asleep, or at home. We have been serving both general patients and those with special needs, including seniors, phobics and others with physical, medical or cognitive challenges in the Bay Area for over 35 years. As Chief of the Dental Division at California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) as well as Kaiser Permanente Hospital, Dr. Blende and his team have been able to provide seamless care - in the patient's home, in our offices, or in the hospital - in order to deliver appropriate treatments tailored to each individual's needs. Facts about our practice:

1) Trailblazers in both sedation dentistry (early 1990’s) and house call dentistry (early 2000)

2) 60% of our patients come to us as referrals from other dentists, physicians, care managers and social workers. These patients cannot be treated in a conventional dental office setting

3 ) Perform over 200 house calls, over 400 sedation cases, and partner with over 40 senior communities each year

Better healthcare happens when professionals work together!

Julia Hollander Campbell joined fellow healthcare professionals at the CMSA/ALCA-NYC Annual Chapter Celebration during National Case Management Week.

For patients with complex medical or dental needs, collaboration among dentists, physicians, care managers, and other healthcare professionals can make a meaningful difference in accessing appropriate care.

We're proud to be part of a community that recognizes the importance of teamwork, communication, and individualized treatment.

Thank you to the CMSA-NYC and ALCA New York chapters for bringing together so many dedicated professionals, and congratulations on a wonderful event!

Dental care can be harder for people with ADHD, and it is not always about motivation.

ADHD can affect:
• remembering to brush and floss
• scheduling and keeping appointments
• time management
• sensory tolerance
• anxiety around dental visits
• following multi-step treatment plans

For some patients, simple accommodations can help make preventative care feel much more manageable. Clear instructions, reminders, breaks, predictable appointments, and sensory-aware care can all make a difference.

For patients with more significant anxiety, sensory challenges, or special-care needs, sedation dentistry may also be worth discussing.

Healthy smiles start with prevention. 🦷✨

October is , and we’re celebrating the dental hygienists who help patients care for their oral health every day.

From cleanings and preventative care to education, encouragement, and helping patients feel more comfortable in the dental chair, hygienists play an important role in lifelong dental health.

At Blende Dental Group, we’re grateful for the professionals who bring skill, patience, and compassion to every patient, especially those who may need a little extra support to comfortably receive dental care.

Here’s to healthier smiles and the hygienists who help make them possible. 💙

Intermittent fasting. Carnivore. Keto. GLP-1 eating patterns. High-protein diets.

Today’s biggest nutrition trends can affect more than weight, energy, or metabolism. They can also influence oral health.

Changes in hydration, saliva production, reflux, eating frequency, and exposure to acidic or sugary foods can all affect the teeth and gums. Even a diet that reduces sugar may create other concerns, such as dry mouth, enamel erosion, or nutritional gaps.

In our latest blog, we look at several of today’s most talked-about diet trends and what patients should know about protecting their oral health along the way.

Read the full article to learn how your diet may be affecting your smile.

When dental care becomes one more thing to manage.

For family caregivers, healthcare coordination can be a full-time responsibility.

Appointments, medications, transportation, meals, paperwork, and changes in a loved one’s health can quickly add up. For older adults who are homebound, medically complex, or living with dementia, dental care may be particularly difficult to coordinate.

But becoming more dependent on others doesn’t make oral health any less important.

Caregivers may play an important role in helping loved ones maintain daily oral hygiene and recognize signs that something may be wrong, from difficulty eating to changes in denture fit, swelling, bleeding, or increased agitation.

The challenge is often not recognizing that dental care matters. It’s making that care accessible.

The latest House Call Dentists blog from our team explores caregiver burnout and the barriers that can make dental care difficult to manage, along with how in-home dentistry can help reduce some of the logistical burden.

September is World Alzheimer’s Month. 💜

Alzheimer’s disease and dementia can affect many aspects of daily life—including the ability to maintain consistent oral hygiene and attend routine dental appointments.

For patients living with cognitive changes, preventive dental care can be especially important. Regular exams, cleanings, and early attention to dental concerns can help support oral comfort and overall well-being.

Caregivers also play an important role in helping loved ones maintain healthy daily routines, including brushing, flossing, and keeping up with dental visits.

This month, Blende Dental Group is recognizing everyone affected by Alzheimer’s, from patients and families to caregivers and healthcare professionals.

Let’s continue to make compassionate, preventive oral care part of the conversation.

Preventing dental emergencies is a team effort.

For individuals living in group homes or receiving daily support, maintaining good oral health often depends on strong communication between families, caregivers, support staff, and dental professionals.

From establishing consistent oral-care routines to recognizing changes in eating, behavior, or comfort, every member of the care team can play an important role in identifying concerns early.

At Blende Dental Group, we believe dental care is most effective when it’s connected to the bigger picture of a patient’s overall care.

Our latest blog explores how families, group home staff, and care teams can work together to support better oral health and help prevent dental emergencies.

At Blende Dental Group, our philosophy is simple: exceptional dentistry begins with exceptional patient care.

Our practices are built around creating experiences that are thoughtful, personalized, and centered on each patient’s individual needs. Dr. Waynick’s house call is one example of how that philosophy extends beyond the traditional dental office.

Whether care takes place in one of our practices or in a patient’s home, our goal remains the same: to provide excellent dentistry while making every patient feel heard, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.

We believe the way you care for patients is just as important as the care you provide.
