Smiles, In Their Own Words
I'd hidden my smile in photos for years. Dr. Navarro walked me through veneers with zero pressure, and the result is so natural my friends just say I look 'rested.' Best decision I've made.
I'm a nervous patient — like, white-knuckle nervous. The team was patient, gentle, and explained everything before they did it. First time I've ever left the dentist relaxed.
We bring all three kids here. The office is calm and modern, the digital scans mean no goopy molds, and they make the whole family feel at ease. Worth the drive from Del Mar.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept my insurance?
We accept most major dental insurance plans and will happily check your coverage before your visit. No insurance? Our in-house membership plan and 0% financing options make care affordable for everyone.
I'm really anxious about the dentist. Can you help?
Absolutely — gentle care for nervous patients is one of the things we're known for. We go at your pace, explain every step, and offer comfort options. Many of our most anxious patients now actually look forward to their visits.
How much do veneers or a smile makeover cost?
It depends on your goals and the treatment plan, which is why we start with a consultation and a digital smile preview. You'll get exact, itemized pricing before anything begins — and financing options if you'd like to spread the cost.
What's the difference between Invisalign and braces?
Clear aligners like Invisalign straighten your teeth using a series of nearly invisible, removable trays — no metal brackets or wires. They're popular with adults and teens who want a discreet option. We'll tell you honestly whether they're right for your case.
Do you see children and families?
Yes! We're a true family practice and welcome every age, from your child's very first checkup to care for grandparents. Booking the whole family on the same day is easy — just ask.
What if I have a dental emergency?
Call us right away — we keep same-day emergency slots open for chipped, cracked, knocked-out, or painful teeth. If it's after hours, our line will guide you on what to do next.
