The cost of your specific dental treatment will vary depending on the complexity, length, and type of condition. We always discuss the estimated cost of any treatment during your initial visit. In certain cases, if your treatment plan is extensive, we may ask you for more treatment planning time to provide the most accurate quote.

Do you treat those with dental anxiety?

Yes. We understand that many people have a fear of going to the dentist and receiving dental treatment. Our team does a great job of helping patients feel completely at ease. From our private rooms and comfortable treatment chairs to gentle dentists and sedation options, we’ve got you. We make it our highest priority to make the procedure as pain-free as humanly possible and we employ the latest techniques in local anesthetics and topical anesthetics. We are patients too and know we would like the appointment as comfortable as possible.

Experience 5-Star Care

“Chris and Stephanie Padilla are great dentists. They have a top-of-the-line facility and great knowledgeable staff. They are not going to nickel and dime you. They’ll only recommend what’s necessary.”

“I saw Dr. Dunn. He was very professional, personable, and accommodating in doing a crown. Excellent experience! The crown fits perfectly, and I love the fact that the crown is created the same day as the appointment — no temporaries, no waiting for a second appointment. He was great, and I strongly recommend Padilla Dentistry & Orthodontics. A great group of people!!!”
