I was fortunate to receive a Research Scholarship at the University of Iowa, where I studied and researched Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD) and Third Molar Extractions (wisdom teeth extractions).

Here I gained much more extensive training in Dental Surgeries, Implants, Sedation, Orthodontics, and Medical Dentistry including head and neck trauma.

Hi, I’m Dr. Alex Fisher, D.M.D. I grew up in the beautiful Pacific Northwest in a town called Woodinville, Washington. Having spent most of my childhood and adolescence in the rain, I eventually decided to become a dentist and study at the UNLV School of Dental Medicine in Las Vegas, Nevada.

After making the move in 2021, I have had the opportunity to serve the people in Fair Oaks and the surrounding areas ever since. It is important for me to give my patients a comfortable and personable experience. My hope is that after our appointment, patients leave feeling informed and able to make the best possible decisions for their future dental care. I use state of the art technologies to diagnose and treat most common dental issues such as fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, clear aligner therapy (i.e. Invisalign), whitening and root canal therapy. My goal is for everyone to achieve their optimal oral health and obtain or maintain a smile they are happy to show off. When I’m not working on teeth I enjoy spending time outdoors with my wife, 2 daughters and our dog Luna. We can often be found paddleboarding on one of the many beautiful lakes in the area or camping on the beach when the weather allows. I also enjoy fly fishing and hiking when I find the time. Additionally I try to relax while tending my garden, baking sourdough on the weekends to share with family and friends, or watching movies. I also love food, cooking, and trying new restaurants and am always open to new recommendations. Read Less
