A Little More About Our Practice...
A Clean & Safe Office
Do you ever feel worried about cleanliness in dental offices? We understand your concern. That’s why we go to great lengths to ensure that our practice exceeds all ADA and OSHA recommended standards for cleanliness and safety. We have a dedicated area with state-of-the-art sterilization technology where every instrument is wrapped, disinfected, and made ready before your visit. Each room is also sanitized between patients. Additionally, we perform weekly spore testing with a third party infection control center. You can rest assured that your safety and your comfort are our top priorities. We worry about the cleanliness of our practice so you’ll never have to!
A Kid Sensitive Office
We strongly believe that everyone deserves a healthy and attractive smile – adults and children alike. Children’s habits, such as teeth brushing and finger sucking, are of primary concern to dentists, because they can seriously affect children’s smile development. Dr. Flores and our entire team understand that these habits must be treated with sensitivity and patience. Also, we are aware that some children feel uneasy and even scared about dental visits. We have a gentle, calming manner that will help your child (and you) feel more at ease.
Information & Accommodations
We empower you to make smart choices for your oral health and smile enhancements through information and thorough consultation, easy and accommodating financing, and comfortable facilities and care. We also make sure that we are well informed about your medical history, current medications, and any other factor that might affect your dental health and treatment.
