A modern practice with deep roots in Riverside
Legacy Dental of Riverside is the successor to Steven Francis DDS, a beloved Riverside dental practice serving the community for more than 50 years.
For over five decades, Steven Francis DDS was a trusted name in Riverside — known for personalized care, gentle service, and patients who became family. Today, that tradition continues at Legacy Dental of Riverside under the leadership of Dr. Mark Elkedwani.
Dr. Elkedwani was selected to carry the practice forward because his clinical philosophy mirrors what Riverside families have come to expect: take time with each person, explain every option clearly, and always recommend the treatment you would want for your own family.
We're modernizing what needed modernizing — digital imaging, comfortable treatment rooms, online scheduling — while preserving everything you love: the friendly familiar team, the same convenient location, and the same patient-first approach.
