Thank you for visiting our webpage.
We are a general dentistry clinic that treats patients of all ages. Located in Riverside, CA, we have been serving the community since our practice opened in 2003.
After Dr. Craig Chidley retired from a twenty-year dental career in the United States Air Force, he founded Chidley Dentistry with his wife Brenda. The clinic prides itself on personalized dental care that treats the individual. At Chidley Dentistry, we realize that every patient is unique. A treatment plan for one individual may not be appropriate for another, depending on a multitude of factors (age, health, hygiene, financial, etc.). At Chidley Dentistry, we focus on providing quality dental care that is appropriate for that particular patient’s wants and needs.
Chidley Dentistry has a small staff: Dr. JR Chidley (general dentist), Brenda Chidley (office manager), two dental assistants, and a dental hygienist. Our family-type atmosphere and small staff allows the doctor and support team to give each patient the individual attention they deserve. Once you come to our clinic, you will see that we know each patient on a personal level. This continuity of care and familiarity makes the dental experience at Chidley Dentistry comfortable, consistent, and positive.
Dr. JR Chidley received his dental education at Creighton University, and post-dental school training in the United States Air Force dental corps. We pride ourselves on a conservative dental approach, with an emphasis on patient education.
What Makes Our Clinic Unique
We are not high volume, nor do we want to be. This allows us to take the extra time to educate the patient on all dental-related matters: prevention, diagnosis, explanation of procedures, treatment alternatives, insurance-related questions, and so on. In addition, we make a strong emphasis at our clinic to keep a punctual schedule. We value your time, and do our best to see our patients without delay.
We look forward to helping you with any dental questions or needs you may have. Please feel free to navigate our webpage for additional information.
Thank you and have a wonderful day.
Patient Testimonials
This dentist is the real deal. I don't know how else to say it... give them a try--they will be your dentist for life! I have had the pleasure of being a patient with Dr. Craig Chidley when he opened his Riverside practice in the early 2000's. Years later, when Dr. JR Chidley joined the practice, I switched over to him. However, they are more like a team than anything else. Not only are they fabulous dentists, but they are wonderful people as well. I feel so comfortable and welcome every time I visit the office. They are extremely honest... they…read more →
I am extremely happy with Dr. J.R Chidley and his staff. He is very professional, has a sense of humor and friendly. I am always nervous when I go to the dentist, but Dr. Chidley made me very comfortable and explained about my dental situation very thoroughly. He is very fair and honest in estimating the cost of dental work needed and he does not take advantage of his patients and does not recommend any extra and unnecessary work. By the way I did not know that he is a professional tennis player! Ask him about tennis while he is…read more →
Dr. JR Chidley has won me over with his honesty in coming up with my plan of care. I had been going to my former dentist practice in Huntington Beach for 30 years and loyally stuck with all 3 owners... (Dentist #1 retired, Dentist #2 passed away and Dentist #3 is in her 40's and going strong). As a cash paying patient with a I'll-do-anything-you-say attitude, I was treated like a Queen there. For years I thought my teeth were terrible because I always needed more and more work: replace all my silver fillings with white ones, replacing my $500…read more →
