Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They provide a durable, natural-looking solution that preserves bone density and supports crowns, bridges, or dentures. Ideal for patients seeking long-term functionality and aesthetics, implants mimic natural tooth roots for stability and comfort.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom clear aligners to straighten teeth without metal braces. The removable, nearly invisible trays gradually shift teeth into alignment, correcting gaps, crowding, and bite issues. Suitable for adults and teens, this treatment offers convenience and comfort while improving smile aesthetics and oral health.
IV Sedation
IV sedation delivers medication directly into the bloodstream to relax anxious patients during dental procedures. Administered by licensed professionals, it ensures comfort for complex or lengthy treatments while allowing patients to respond to commands. Effects wear off within hours, requiring a driver for post-appointment transport.
Teeth Whitening
Zoom teeth whitening uses hydrogen peroxide gel activated by a special light to remove stains and brighten smiles in one hour. Safe and effective, it targets discoloration from food, drinks, or aging. Results last up to a year with proper care, offering a quick, non-invasive cosmetic enhancement.
Emergency Dental Care
Emergency dental services address acute issues like toothaches, cracked teeth, or knocked-out teeth. Prompt treatment prevents complications such as infections or tooth loss. The practice provides immediate care for pain relief, trauma management, and restoration of oral health during urgent situations.

Dr. Soto and his team are exceptional. I am very grateful to have been under their care. From the very front desk crew, to the dental assistants, Doc himself and the kind person helping me to my car, they all are consistent, professional, caring, personable, knowledgeable and reassure you that you are safe. I know that I can trust in this office and feel very comfortable recommending them highly for your dental needs. Especially sedation for an anxious person as myself.

I went to Dr. Soto's office very reluctantly, as I have a terrible fear of the dentist; which has contributed to the current state of my dental health, unfortunately. I was in terrible pain, I made the appointment and I am so happy I did! What an incredibly empathetic, professional, and efficient team. Dr. Soto made me feel very comfortable, he agreed IV sedation for my procedure was the best course of action for my particular dental issues and I cannot thank him enough, he is an amazing doctor!
I woke up to a very soothing team by my side, I want to thank every single person in the office, the hygienist that reassured me countless times, Jessica for answering my many questions; and so compassionately reassuring me. Also Megan for checking on me over the weekend. You are truly an amazing practice. Also a special thank you for my edible arrangements, what a sweet gesture, thank you all! I look forward to future visits ( I can't believe I'm saying that) to get my dental health in the right direction!

Dr Soto has been me and my family's dentst for many years. He and his staff have been very warm and welcoming from our 1st office visit. I am confident you'll feel the same. It appears that he hand picked the best office staff as well as hygienists. You won't regret choosing him as your dentist.
