Dr. Sam Infantino

DDS · University of the Pacific

Background

Dr. Sam Infantino is a Bay Area native who grew up in Cupertino. He studied Biological Sciences at Santa Clara University before earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of the Pacific in San Francisco, where he graduated with honors at the top of his class. After graduation, Dr. Sam joined his father's dental practice in Cupertino in 2009, gaining valuable experience before opening Infantino Dental in Los Gatos in 2016. He is committed to providing high-quality dental care in a comfortable, welcoming environment and takes pride in delivering personalized treatment tailored to each patient's individual needs. Outside the office, Dr. Sam enjoys spending time with his wife, daughter, and son. When he's not caring for patients or spending time with family, you'll likely find him on the dirt bike or mountain bike trails, snowboarding in the mountains, or enjoying time at the lake with family and friends.

Approach

Dr. Infantino runs the practice like a family doctor runs theirs — unhurried appointments, honest conversations about cost, and a stubborn insistence on doing the right long-term thing rather than the quickest quick fix. Most visits are booked for twice the time a chain practice would allow, because rushing a tooth is how small problems turn into big ones.
