Services
General Dentistry
Our general dentistry services encompass preventive care, diagnostic imaging, and restorative treatments for patients of all ages. We emphasize early detection of oral health issues through bi-annual checkups and professional cleanings. Our team addresses common concerns like cavities, gum disease, and dental trauma while coordinating complex treatment plans that integrate specialized services when needed.
Dental Implants
Implant dentistry offers permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium root replacements that fuse with jawbone tissue. We provide single implants, hybrid dentures, and implant-supported bridges that restore chewing functionality and facial structure. The process includes bone grafting when necessary and utilizes 3D imaging for precise placement, ensuring long-term success rates exceeding 95%.
Endodontics
Our endodontic specialists preserve natural teeth using microscopic root canal therapy for infected pulp tissue. Advanced imaging identifies hairline fractures and complex canal systems requiring retreatment or apicoectomy procedures. Patients receive detailed post-operative care instructions and temporary restoration guidance while coordinating permanent crowns with referring dentists.
SureSmile Aligners
SureSmile technology straightens teeth discreetly through custom-molded, removable aligner trays. Treatment planning uses digital impressions to map tooth movement over 6-18 months, with bi-weekly tray changes tracking progress. This orthodontic solution addresses crowding and spacing issues while maintaining oral hygiene accessibility, particularly beneficial for adult patients.
Oral Surgery
Board-certified oral surgeons perform extractions, bone grafts, and TMJ treatments in-office under various sedation options. Wisdom tooth removals prevent adjacent tooth damage while ridge augmentation prepares extraction sites for future implants. We also address sleep apnea through surgical airway improvements and correct gummy smiles with crown lengthening procedures.

Questions
Do you accept dental insurance?
We accept most major insurance plans and will file claims on your behalf. Coverage details for specific treatments can be verified during your consultation.
Are financing options available?
Yes, we offer Sunbit financing with no hard credit check, allowing treatment costs to be paid over 72 months through manageable installments.
What emergency dental services do you provide?
We treat urgent issues like toothaches, broken fillings, cracked teeth, and knocked-out teeth outside regular hours with same-day appointment availability.
Can I whiten teeth with existing dental work?
Teeth whitening works best on natural enamel. Crowns, bridges, and fillings won't respond to bleaching but can be color-matched to whitened teeth during restorative work.
How do implants compare to dentures?
Implants preserve bone structure and function like natural teeth, while dentures require adhesives and may cause discomfort. Implant-retained dentures offer improved stability over traditional removable options.
What orthodontic alternatives exist to metal braces?
SureSmile Aligners provide nearly invisible, removable straightening trays that correct mild to moderate alignment issues in 6-18 months with minimal lifestyle disruption.

Went in for my 6 month checkup and cleaning. Mellissa, the hygienist, did an outstanding job. I've been going to St. John's Family dentistry for several years and am always pleased with the work they do.

The staff at this dental practice is outstanding from the moment you walk in, the front desk is personable, warm and attentive. Everyone is so friendly and professional. They were so thorough and made sure I understood my treatment plan options, the process and cost. Cannot recommend Dr. Rojas highly enough! Her exceptional skill set, her professionalism, her attention to detail, along with her strong interpersonal skills and humor, made the entire process actually enjoyable. Likewise, Sabrina is very accommodating and knowledgeable. Overall pain free and stress-free experience! The location is great, there is rarely ever a wait time when you arrive for your appointment. Excellent, highly recommend.

My appointments keep getting canceled within 24 hours of the appointment. Super irritated that they can't hold to their schedule or call me instead of sending me a text message telling me to call to reschedule. Moving on to find a reliable dental practice.

This office is amazing! Dr. Corral is very down to earth, and honest! I am insanely anxious with dentistry, he was just the best dental team I've had in 57 years. 5 stars aren't enough.
