AboutCharles Dental Group

I grew up around dentists most of my life. Two of my uncles are dentists. Dr. Hugh Charles, who is my Mother’s Brother, encouraged my dental interests as I assisted him in the dental office at various times.

I am the oldest of six, and lived in California most of my life. I have an amazing mother and father who taught me the value of hard work from a young age. They taught me to treat others like I would want to be treated. They encouraged me to always do my best.

The Boy Scouts of America has been a big influence in my life. I love the outdoors and camping is one of my favorite things to do. I earned the rank of Eagle Scout at the age of sixteen.

At the age of nineteen, I served a mission for my church in Asuncion, Paraguay. There I was able to share my faith with others, and do a lot of service. After coming home from my mission I attended Brigham Young University. I continued my dental pursuits by earning a Bachelor’s of Science in Zoology and a minor in Spanish. I was married to my wife, Lisa, my senior year at Brigham Young University. Then, we were off to the University of Iowa for Dental School.

I was fortunate to receive a research scholarship there, where I studied and researched Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD) and Third Molar Extractions (wisdom teeth extractions). While in dental school, two of our children were born.

When I finished my dental degree, DDS, I was accepted to my General Practice Residency Program at the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics. Here I received extra training in Oral Surgery, Dental Implants, IV Sedation, Orthodontics, and Medicine.

I graduated from Semmelweis University in 1997 and joined the Charles Dental Group family practice in spring of 2000. I feel fortunate to be a part of a highly professional team which delivers state of the art dentistry.

With continuous education and training in different areas of dentistry, particularly pediatric dentistry, I am dedicated to providing my patients the most complete and comprehensive treatment options, while ensuring each patient is treated in a comfortable caring environment.

I enjoy the technical aspects of the dental profession, the precision and the science involved in crafting fine restorative work. My emphasis is on prevention and helping patients achieve the highest level of health, function and beauty.

I provide comprehensive dental services, including oral diagnosis, radiology, restorative and cosmetic dentistry, fixed (conventional and Cerec) and partial removable prosthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, pedodontics, oral prophylaxis, emergency care and minor oral maxillofacial surgery. I believe in the importance of educating patients of all ages about good dental habits and making a visit to the dentist a positive experience.

I am a member of the American Dental Association, California Dental Association and Sacramento Dental Society.

I live in Folsom with my husband and two children. I love spending time with my family, gardening, taking care of my pets and reading books.

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 6 years learning and practicing, in sunny Las Vegas I was invited to join the Charles Dental Group as an associate general dentist.

Their reputation as high quality dental providers, pioneers in adopting the newest dental technologies, and practicing a patient first ideology, resonated with me on a fundamental level.

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.
