Services
Four things a general dentist does every day. If something needs another kind of dentist, Dr. Almaraz tells you and refers you.

A broken tooth, a swollen gum, a bad toothache: call us first.
See what to do firstThe first visit
You fill in your health history on the office's private portal, before or when you arrive; not in the contact form.
Dr. Almaraz asks what is worrying you and explains what she will do, in the language you prefer.
She decides whether you need X-rays; they are not automatic.
Before any treatment we give you an estimate in writing. You take it home and decide with no rush.

For a filling or a tooth removal we numb the area first. Many people feel pressure rather than pain. If you feel pain, raise your hand: we stop and check whether the area needs more numbing.
