Had the best experience with Dr. Paz. He worked with me to design the perfect smile and showed mock ups of what my final smile would look like. I had a lot of overcrowding, and shared with him that I would like to widen my smile. He tailored the approach to my specific needs and face shape, and my smile is perfect! I wouldn’t recommend anyone else, he is the one to trust with your orthodontic work.

Wow!!! What an AMAZING group of people. The whole team is so professional. Dr. Paz is an artist. He can change the shape of your face by putting your jaw and teeth in perfect alignment. He has taken care of all 4 of my children and even did a night guard for my grinding and lockjaw. Cindy in the office is so friendly and helps me all the time with my kids CRAZY schedule. The techs are so gentle. We have referred SO many people to this practice and NO ONE has been disappointed!! Thank you Dr Paz and team!!

Don't come here for TMJ treatment! Waste of time and money!
I was referred here by a dentist (who I will no longer be going to), and initially, I trusted the staff. They were nice and seemed knowledgable. I explained my jaw began hurting more since wearing a night guard the dentist who referred me made. Dr. Mario told me the pain was because of my bite and offered a solution: TMJ therapy. It seemed simple and I was eager to alleviate the pain, so I paid. I was also told that in a few months I may need Invisalign or even jaw surgery.
Then, on my second visit I was told I'd need to

I was 18 years old when I realized I needed braces. Thank goodness my dentist recommended Dr. Paz! I have been going to Dr. Paz for about two years now. The staff is very friendly and each visit I have they make me feel welcome and answer any questions I have. When they found out I was going to college, they were all very supportive and accommodating with me and my schedule. My teeth are now perfectly straight and I couldn't be more grateful! I love the staff and would suggest this office to anyone looking for braces! Super friendly, helpful, and supportive.

Dr. Paz is the best! Super Mario is what we call him, we have 2 generations of braces done by Dr. Paz. He is thorough and utilizes latest technology to help you perfect that smile. All orthodontist are not created equally, we now have our 2 kids one 8 and 11 getting their smiles right by Dr Paz. My wife had other recommendations but no one compared to the service here.

I am so happy to have found Dr. Paz. He was very knowledgeable about my daughter's complex situation. After a few weeks of treatment she reported that her tooth pain had stopped. He took time to explain the process without being condescending. The support staff is also top notch. Dr. Paz is a top notch orthodontist and I highly recommend him.

As an adult, I was hesitant to get braces for appearances and how others may not take me seriously especially working in a corporate environment. So I was pleased to learn that lingual braces exist! Dr. Paz came as highly recommended by my dentist, and my experience has been beyond stellar. I felt comfortable throughout the process, and my questions were answered thoroughly. The RDA/OAs were knowledgeable and patient especially with my anxious questions about when my braces would be coming off. I'd highly recommend Dr. Paz and his team if you're considering getting braces. I got my braces

Simply the best! I've been coming to see Dr. Paz since 2012 when I needed braces again due to not wearing my retainer. It was unbeknownst to me at the time, but I later felt quite lucky when I learned he is the only orthodontist known to provide both upper and lower permanent retainer options upon removal of your braces.
I struggle with my upper cuspid teeth constantly wanting to move and it's been such a relief to be able to have a permanent bonded retainer on the uppers as well as the lowers. So grateful for Dr Paz! Thanks to his superior techniques, it's been 6 years and my teeth

Dr. Paz is amazing! I work at a nearby dental office and since we have been referring patients to him for years, I have had the privilege of seeing a lot of before and after pictures. When it came time for my daughter to get braces, choosing him as her orthodontist was a no-brainer! Her teeth have come so far in such a short time, I'm very impressed.
Dr. Paz is also from El Salvador, which has won points with my Salvadoran dad who has taken two of my brothers for braces there as well. Nothing but great results all around. Dr. Paz is hilarious and as kind as they come. The whole staff is

My daughter had Invisalign treatment done with Dr. Paz. Truly a top notch experience the entire time. Dr. Paz and his staff are always warm and welcoming and there to help. My daughter is now officially done with Invisalign treatment and her teeth are incredible! They look better than I even imagined. We could not be more happy! Thank you Dr. Paz and staff for everything!

This man is an absolute genius and has been treating people with care, commitment, and excellence for the entire time I have known him, which is 17 years now.
He has done an immaculate job with me, and with everyone else I have ever seen going there. Absolutely 100% fully recommended.
Dr. Paz himself is one of the gentlest orthodontists you'll ever have.
True pleasure to come here. They do a great job, consistently, are wonderful people, and leave you with a great smile.

I am 27 years old and I am a recovered patient from Dr. Paz and company.
When I was 13 I was prescribed braces.. No big surprise. All my orthodontia was done through this office. The dental assistants were nice enough, the space was clean and had video games, which I liked. And after braces, the gaps in my teeth closed up in the front.
So why the one star?
I was also prescribed the herbst appliance which is a set of metal bars connected to your molars that push your lower jaw forward. I had an overbite.
So I wore the herbst appliance for a year and a half. When it came off with the braces and

Do NOT come to this guy. Awful experiences; ortho referred us from out of state. His degrees are from other county's; financial blonde woman - relationship ?!? Parking $20 and they do not validate; brackets broken after one day, six weeks later? Did not fix; Never cares - long waits, charges too much for lengthy experience. Go somewhere else. This office hanky panky, too much to bear. Awful, awful. AWFUL.
Local dental ppl said to get out, if can.
We can. Compromised six teeth. Jeez.
