These guys go the extra mile! I needed new dentures in a hurry and some issues came up that was going to cause me to have to wait longer but they made it happen! I am forever grateful and impressed by their caring and demonstration of that.
Somebody said people who have good experiences usually don't review, so why not give my little opinion. Firstly, this entire building is full of beautiful women, everyone has a smiling face and comfortable energy. The only man I encountered was the actual dentist, Dr. Sandoval, (that's not to say there aren't more that's just what I'VE encountered). This is one of the most down to earth and understanding dentists west of the Mississippi! (Or so he claims🤭) Complete honesty, I was able to breathe easy in an uncomfortable environment. I have autism and severe social anxiety that can either make me silent or talkative, no inbetween, and they were so patient with me! I have a severe underbite that tends to throw some hygienists and they maneuvered it with stride. I didn't even mind having my mouth hanging open while he did his best to multitask. He and the nurse were very communicative and detailed on what they were doing, how long it would take, etc. (I ask a lot of questions🫠)
I can't lie, my first impression was a rocky one, but the entire staff was so welcoming from the moment I walked in to the time I walked out. Idk about anyone else but that's my experience, hopefully it helps the next person that may be nervous about willingly paying strangers to put their fingers and strange tools in your mouth 😇
Very professional place and personnel.
Would like cleaning schedules asap

What are dental fillings?
A tooth filling is a restorative treatment that repairs a tooth that has been damaged by decay or minor fractures. When getting a filling, your dentist will remove any decay in your tooth and then fill the leftover space with either composite resin, glass ionomer or amalgam. This restores the shape, function and strength of your tooth while helping to minimize any discomfort or sensitivity.
