I moved to Grass Valley in 2013 and as a new dentist living in this area, I would like to tell you a little bit about myself. I graduated from University of Chile with highest honors in 1990. I have dedicated my career to cosmetic and family dentistry, oral medicine, children and adults with special needs and I have participated in dental research on preventive strategies while working as a clinical instructor for 10 years in Dental School.
Also, I have participated in several dental programs to help the community. After completing all the requirements, I received my California Dental license in 2007. I am a member of the American Dental Association, California Dental Association and Past-President of Butte-Sierra Dental Society.

Services
Turn right off Brunswick Road going towards the airport just around the corner from the Bank of the West (on your right) and Chase Bank (on your left). The sign at the uphill entrance reads "Brunswick East". Going up the driveway, you will see our building (565 Brunswick Road, Suite #2) on your left.
Whether your dental needs are a complete exam and cleaning, a full-mouth restoration, or anything in between, we promise to provide you with exceptional care as we enhance the natural beauty of your smile. Below are just some of the many services we regularly provide to our patients - with a gentle touch and with stunning results.
We see young patients who, because of fluoride, sealants, regular dental examinations and cleaning appointments, and good brushing and flossing, have zero dental disease. Organized dentistry has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars promoting water fluoridation because it reduces tooth decay (60%) in our young (1-13) patients.
Digital radiography (digital X-ray) is the latest technology used to take dental X-rays. This technique uses an electronic sensor (instead of X-ray film) that captures and stores the digital image on a computer. Digital X-rays reduce radiation 80-90% compared to the already low exposure of traditional dental X-rays.
According to research conducted by the American Cancer Society, more than 30,000 cases of oral cancer are diagnosed each year. More than 7,000 of these cases result in the death of the patient. The good news is that oral cancer can easily be diagnosed with an annual oral cancer exam, and effectively treated when caught in its earliest stages.

I was a long-time patient of Dr. Turner's...since 1981. When family and friends moved to GV, I would send them to him...He was fantastic. So when he announced his retirement.... I became worried. There was no need. He painstakingly did a search for the BEST to take over his practice. .... He found her in Dr. Ljubica Petrasic. It was an easy comfortable transition. She and her staff are top notch.... and her expertise in the field of dentistry leaves us very fortunate to have her here in our Grass Valley community.
