My job today in the field of dentistry is due to profound childhood experiences. As a child I was never aware that I should visit a dentist regularly, nor was it on my familys priority list. I only went when I had a toothache; thus I developed a fear of the dentist. It was not until I grew older that I began to educate myself about proper dental health and regular dental visits. As a result, both my fear of the dentist and toothaches disappeared. My job as a treatment coordinator is most rewarding when I am able to see patients, who were once fearful, become happy. The positive results of their treatment allow them to continue visiting their dentist on a regular basis and maintain proper dental and overall health.

PACIFIC DENTAL CARE THE OFFICE ITSELF The practice was originally established as a small satellite practice in 1985. Some of our patients today were among the original few who were brave enough to venture in the doors of that fledgling practice. After purchasing the practice in March 1991, Dr. Bueno made several changes that exist today. Our hours were extended to offer more availability to our patients, with less regard for a longer weekend for us. Thus, we are open as early as 7am and as late as 7pm, with hours from 9am to 6pm on Fridays. There have been many changes in the way dentistry is practiced as well. We do not rely solely on the tried and true techniques. As our patients know, we are constantly researching and investing in new technology to make the dentistry we offer to our family of patients the best. From the use of video exams in 1989, to the introduction of laser dentistry in 1990, to the drill-less air abrasion in 1992, to the use of new techniques in root canal therapy and orthodontics in 1994, to the use of computer-aided crowns and porcelain restorations in 2002, we strive for the best and deliver it on a daily basis. Our office is fully computerized and allows us to provide the best dentistry available today. Our commitment to excellence in dentistry is a desire to deliver the best care in a modern facility with the best dentists. Our continued pursuit of education allows us to keep abreast of the best dentistry has to offer as soon as it's available. This allows us to make it available to our patients as soon as possible. We offer you the latest technology in a warm, friendly environment. Pacific Dental Care....Catch The Wave! |
