First impressions are important, and one of the first features people notice about you is your smile. If you don't, however, feel like you can smile with confidence, feel free to laugh without covering up your mouth, or if your smile has an imperfection that makes you feel self-conscious, then cosmetic dentistry will be able to help you.
For many patients with crooked, misaligned teeth or malocclusion, orthodontics are the best choice to achieve a comfortable bite and attractive smile. Traditional metal braces, however, aren't always an ideal option when it comes to moving teeth and dealing with food restrictions, comfort, appearance, and maintenance.

Excellent customer service, excellent dentist, Dr Rosales, his dental assistant Amy, and the front desk Olga & Maria are very kind and efficient. Dr. Rosales and his staff stayed open during a recent holiday when most other doctors would be closing for the holiday. You guys rock! They stayed open after hours to take care of an emergency dental procedure. You cannot get that kind of service & dedication anymore. And besides, excellent dental expertise....the procedure was as pain-free as could be and well-tolerated! If you are new to the area and looking for a great dental team that is

I have been coming to this office for dental cleanings and procedures for about 2 years now, and they have been consistently excellent throughout my experience. I've met both Dr Fotinos and Dr Rosales on multiple occasions and both took time to explain things clearly and ensure that I knew exactly why they recommended anything that they did. Scheduling has always been very easy, and the text reminders they send are super convenient so you don't forget your appointment. Finally, everyone there has always been very friendly and professional, and I can't really think of anything I want

My daughter decided that she no longer wanted to be seen by a kids dentist and decided to join me at Dr. Fotinios'.
We decided to have her see Dr. Rosales.
Dr. Rosales and his assistant were VERY kind and gentle to my daughter (who was very nervous). My daughter left with a smile on her face after having two cavities filled. She said she felt no pain and "coolly" said the experience was no big deal. :-)
Thanks for the good care.

I'm not one to write reviews often, but Dr. Fotinos's dentistry practice is the exceptional! Utterly professional, thoroughly knowledgeable with great attention to detail. I never question their skill or quality of work! And my cleaning with their hygienist was impeccable. She was meticulous and unrushed! If you're looking for a great dental practice and great dentist, Dr. Fotinos is the best!

I was beyond impressed with my appointment at Dr. Fotinos's office.
My appointment was on time as usual, and my cleaning with quick and painless. I had a routine check-up with Dr, Fotinos after my cleaning. He was able to isolate the minor discomfort I had been having and fix it on the stop. They also took high-resolution images of potential future issues and booked a time to take care of it--hay presto. I felt taken care of.

All my life I have feared going to the dentist and have dealt with high anxiety. Seeing Dr. Fotinos and Dr. Rosales has taken away my anxiety. They are very calming with their techniques and I look forward to going to the dentist. The office staff is kind and friendly and know exactly how to calm my nerves. I have been coming to this office for many years and will continue to do so. There is no one better in my opinion.

My concers were why I got the percedure that I didnt need at all...Why it wasnt any filling under my crown? Obviously, why I got charged $84 extra. I always paid the whole amount. Before, you guys were charging me some%s to secure the appointment & then charge the rest remaining. Im pretty sure nobody willbe ok to get check after two months without any explanation.

Nothing but rave reviews for Dr. Rosales, Amy, and all of the staff here at Dr Fotinos' office. I hadn't visited a dentist in the past 4 years due to a traumatic experience at my last one. Even prior to that experience, I would only schedule dentist appointments once there was an issue. I knew I was way overdue and ended up scheduling an appointment because of some sensitivity I was experiencing and because I read positive reviews online. On my first visit, they asked about my prior experiences at the dentist and took pictures and x-ray. Dr. Rosales went over the photos/x-rays, what he saw, and

I've had many dental problems growing up as a child and Dr. Fotinos provided many preventative and cosmetic treatment for me. He saved my smile through his expertise, honesty, and dental education. I feel so educated and automatically in better shape and mood each visit. If you guys want the best highest quality dentist or orthodontist I recommend Dr. Fotinos and Dr. Rosales. I got clear correct, whitening, and veneers.

Speechless. I have never felt more comfortable visiting the dentist ever before. It's difficult finding a good dentist who is there.
for YOU. I'm talking attentive, transparent, patient, knowledgeable, friendly, understanding, the list goes on... and the staff as well! - just came back from my third visit, left feeling ever so great. As my session went, Dr. Fotinos shared great knowledge about general oral hygiene and function, in such a way it was very easy to understand and where I can use the advice/tips/knowledge in my daily life to prevent anything unwanted in the future.

Best dental experience EVER! Dr. Fotinos is, hands down, the most wonderful dentist I've ever been to. I highly recommend Dr. Fotinos & his entire staff!

During my initial exam, Dr. Fotinos was extremely thorough & took the time to explain his findings. He then gave me a couple of treatment options that not only restore existing issues but include preventing future ones!

I just left his office after having several fillings (the first phase of my treatment plan) & actually feel like I was at the spa, not the dentist! Dr. Fotinos & Stacie made me feel so at ease while

Do not go here.

1: I feel I was lied to and that the treatment I received was not necessary, and vastly more expensive than what was actually required.
2: I have never been in such excruciating pain when getting numbed before. The doctor responded to my literal screaming with "yep, that's your nerve".
3: here I am, 3 weeks after treatment, and I am in pain. I went in to have my filling fixed and the dentist convinced me I needed two new fillings and he removed HALF of my tooth. I didn't agree to that much removal, and once I saw it, it was already done. He also stated immediately

My entire experience working with Dr. Rosales and his staff and been beyond five stars. When I spoke with Olga just to ask if they were taking new patients I already knew this was the place for me. Over the pandemic, I quit drinking, lost some weight, and really took charge of working on my mental health which lead to my overall health. I read how important dental care is and how it can affect your health (dementia, health problems, etc) My first appointment could not have gone better. I tend to overshare I guess and when I spoke with Dr. Rosales about why I was there and my goals he treated me

I switched to Dr. Fotinos because I was unhappy with my last dentist, and I'm so happy I did.
He's absolutely AMAZING!! He definitely takes the time to answer all your questions, and since my first visit I was baffled for how much he cares about his patients. He recommended some treatment to fix my front teeth, and I couldn't be happier.
Everyone is so friendly and courteous, and the communication is always on point!
Do not think twice! Visit this office and you won't be disappointed!

This dental office is one of the best, if not the best, offices that provides top-notch services to its clients. Everyone is highly professional and respectful. Dr. Rosales explains everything in detail to make sure you understand what the current situation is, and what treatment is needed. Olga, at the reception desk, is very respectful, patient, and nice. Their hygienists also know their job very well!
Overall, it's the dental office you would want to consider for your life time!

Dr. Fotinos and team have been phenomenal. I went without insurance for many years and had old metal fillings that needed to be replaced- not an exciting prospect. However, this has been one of the least painful, easiest to schedule, and overall best experiences I've had in healthcare period. I would recommend this office to anyone seeking dental care.

Dr. Rosales is the man. He gives you his personal phone number because he's that class act. If I had kids I would give them to Rosales because I trust him more than myself. But instead, I have teeth and Dr. Rosales treated them like he really cared. They're constantly asking you how you're doing or what fears you have. They recognize that dentistry isn't something a lot of people like, but they incessantly work to help remove the psychological barriers if you have any. I was bleeding a lot day of my wisdom teeth removal (my friends insisted I go back and make sure I'm alright) and Rosales was able
