Serving Fremont · Office in Union City
Orthodontist for Fremont families
First, the honest part. Our office is in Union City, not Fremont. It's at 32990 Alvarado-Niles Rd. We're telling you up front because you've probably seen plenty of pages that pretend otherwise.
So why a page for Fremont? Because a lot of Fremont is closer to us than people expect, especially the north end. And we think Dr. Salins is worth a short drive.
How far is the Union City office from my part of Fremont?
It depends a lot on which Fremont you mean. It's a big city. Here's the rough picture, north to south.

This is the far end of Fremont from us, and we won't pretend it's around the corner. If you pick us from Warm Springs, it'll be for Dr. Salins, not the commute.

Is it worth driving to Union City for an orthodontist?
Only you can answer that. Here's what to weigh.
Orthodontic treatment is not a one-time visit. A typical case runs about 24 months, though it varies. Over that time you'll come in regularly for check-ins and adjustments. So you want an office you can get to without dread.
You're also picking the person who will shape your kid's smile, or your own. That's worth a few extra minutes in the car.
Dr. Salins trained in dentistry at Harvard, then did his orthodontic specialty training and a master's at UCLA. He's board certified, as a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. He's also a past president of the Southern Alameda County Dental Society, and Fremont is southern Alameda County, so he's hardly a stranger.
He plans smiles face first, looking at your lips, chin and profile before he moves a tooth. He sees every patient at every appointment, so you won't get handed off. And he works hard to make the visits fun, especially for nervous kids. Meet Dr. Salins
Why do Fremont families pick Salins Orthodontics?
Reviews are a good place to start. Our Union City office is rated 5.0 on Yelp across 146 reviews and 4.8 on Google. Read a few and you'll see the same things come up.
The other reason is simpler: people like him. You'll be seeing your orthodontist for a couple of years, so it helps if you enjoy the visits.
