About us
How nervous are you?
We're two dentists, a hygienist and a front desk that picks up the phone. Move the dial and we'll tell you what we do differently for you.
Just a checkup
We do the cleaning at your pace. If you want headphones with your own music or sunglasses for the light, they're on the armrest.
A bit tense
We tell you each step before we do it, never during. You raise your hand and we stop. Every time.
I'm really not looking forward to it
Come by first with no treatment booked: see the room, sit in the chair, leave if you want. Then we book a longer slot, first thing in the morning.
It's been years
Say so when you call. The first visit is talking and looking, nothing else. Nobody scolds you for how long it's been.
- Hand up, we stopNo debate and no look.
- We tell you beforeEvery step is explained before we touch anything.
- Price before the workYou get it in writing and decide at your own speed.

FAQ
What people ask in a low voice
What if I'm embarrassed about my teeth?
We've seen everything and we don't judge. First we look and walk you through the options, no rush and no lecture.
When should I bring my child?
Around the first birthday or when the first tooth shows up. The first visit is short: a look, a talk, a sticker.
I don't have insurance. Can I come?
Yes. We give you the price in writing before we start, and there's a sample in-house plan from $29 a month (demo).
Will someone speak Spanish with me?
Yes: on the phone, at the desk and in the chair. The paperwork comes in both languages.
How fast can I get an appointment?
For a checkup, usually within days (this demo has no real schedule). For pain, the same day when we can.
Are clear aligners right for me?
It depends on the mouth. At the free consult we look together, and we also tell you when they're not a good idea.
Can I bring music or a friend?
Of course. There are headphones, but your own music and your companion are welcome in the room.

Notes from the sticker drawer
Things we say out loud in the office, written down.
KidsHow to brush a two-year-old who refuses
+ Read the note
First let them do it with their own brush, even if they only chew it. Then you go over it quickly, singing.
A soft brush that fits their hand, a smear of toothpaste the size of a grain of rice, and two minutes at most at the start. If one day it doesn't work, no harm: try again tomorrow.
First time backWhat happens at a first visit after years away
+ Read the note
You sit, we talk, and we look with a small mirror and a light. If an X-ray is needed, we tell you what it's for before taking it.
At the end you get in writing what we saw, ordered by what matters first. You decide what gets done and when.
AlignersAligners or braces: what to ask before you pay
+ Read the note
Ask how long the treatment lasts, how many visits are included, what happens if you lose a tray, and whether retainers are in the price.
And ask to see the plan before you sign. A good quote fits on one page and makes sense.
