Orthodontics are an excellent way to straighten your teeth. While orthodontic treatments are used to straighten teeth for an enhanced smile, they can also help restore functionality to teeth, jaw, and bite. The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that all children should have an evaluation with an orthodontist by the age of 7 regardless of how many teeth have erupted.
Steven L. Francis DDS Inc. offers cosmetic dentistry services that are designed to improve the appearance of your smile through the use of advanced dental procedures. A dazzling smile is a necessary asset in today's society. From job interviews to relationships and dating, a nice smile gives you the ability to make lasting first impressions, which comes with many benefits.
Regular dental cleanings and exams are vital to maintaining your oral health and preventing future complications. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that patients visit a dentist twice every year. Most insurances will cover two visits as a result of this recommendation. This is because traditional brushing methods are unable to remove tartar, though plaque prevention is still possible.

I'm looking for my forever dentist and I think I've found him! The whole office, from the moment they picked up the phone, were so kind and caring. The doctor took a look at my tooth and he gave me real and honest advice. Other dentists would have taken that opportunity to probably drill open my tooth and take some money. But, you don't get that here! I received wonderful and honest care. Thank you to Dr. Francis and everyone else in his office!!

We've been going to Dr. Francis for several years now. They are the best dentist we've ever been to, and I've been to many over the years. They are honest and reasonable and they care about their customers. We are so lucky to have found them!

If you are looking first class dentist, stop looking and book an appointment here. These folks are pretty incredible at every step of the process - booking, explaining, service, insurance, etc. It's all good! And they don't come any nicer and experienced than Dr. Francis!

Best dentist hands down! I've never met one who cares as much and isnt in the business for the money. From his staff to his wife thank you for taking such good care of me! I feel more confident than I've ever felt.

This is a top notch dentist. Dr. Francis is genuine, patient and explains it all. I moved to Long Beach and I'm so fortunate he works one Saturday a month. I drive to Riverside because he's gentle and so educated and excellent at what he does.
My crown fell off, he took me right away and fixed it. Oh, and by the way he didnt do that work or it would of never come off. Overall the office is so friendly you feel like your home. Love it here!!

Oh my gosh! I can not say enough about Dr. Francis and his staff. Everyone is very friendly and professional. The facility is modern and clean. Dr. Francis is the best dentist I've ever been to. He is gentle and thorough and takes the time to explain what's going on. I resent had a major procedure done and I could not be happier with his work and the experience over all. I feel like this whole team is willing to go the extra mile. He is very affordable as well. If you need a dentist, look no further.

The staff was very friendly and got me in on short notice. The offices are kept very clean. Dr. Francis was extremely professional and made me feel very comfortable. Best of all they were not judgemental about my less than perfect teeth which is a nice change of pace. The prices are reasonable as well if you don't have insurance.

I have been a patient with Dr. Francis since I was about 5 five years old (I am 32 now). I am one of few people I know who actually looks forward to going to the dentist every six months, and that is in large part thanks to the wonderful staff and atmosphere at Dr. Francis's office. The front desk staff are always extremely friendly, and the hygienists are knowledgeable, patient, gentle, and very personable. I am always impressed that they remember details about my personal and professional life and chat while working and it is never awkward. Dr. Francis works with my whole family, including

I have a strong phobia of dentists. Dr. Francis is very in tune with this problem and spent extra time and care giving me what I needed to get through the process of getting work done. I was nervous changing dentists but since I moved I wanted someone closer and I feel like I found a home for dental care here. It is a wonderful dental office and I feel very confident that going to Dr Francis to get any dental work done is done with expertise and the utmost in care. I feel like I'm in good hands.

I have been a patient of Dr. Francis since I was about 4yrs old, my family as well are patients. The staff is not only friendly but knowledgeable and can help you understand your insurance benefits. Dr. Francis is very kind, friendly, honest and patient when I have been nervous about treatment. I feel he is very conservative when letting me know what is needed and how to fix it. Not pushy like I hear other dentist can be.

This office is the place to go for your dental needs. The staff is so friendly, amazing at the work they do and won't make you think you need unnecessary work other practices are known for. They have taken care of my kids, me and my now ex. They even been there for me through my divorce. They work with all budgets and have spectacular payment plans for all budgets. Very rare to find a practice that is like extended family you only see a few times a year. And beyond that it's impeccably clean. Rose, Rosie, Dr Francis and the rest of the staff are all top notch.

Let me start by saying it's been at least 8 years since I've been to the dentist. So I had no reference point except for as a child. But this has got to be one of the best offices around. Put this on top in case you stop reading. They will work with you if you have no insurance. They want you to be able to get your teeth fixed.

Office and building- extremely clean and up to date. Building is practically brand new in the riverwalk area. Easy parking, single level, and large waiting room.

Staff- all the supporting staff for the doctor was amazing. From scheduling on the phone

Dr Francis has been my dentist since I was a young child, I am now 32. He now sees my children as well, ages 8 and 11.

He has always been sympathetic, understanding of my nervousness, throughly explains all procedures and never recommends services that aren't needed. He is an HONEST man. Dr Francis is not out for your money, he is looking out for your health.

I've had many positive experiences with him. One that sticks out in my mind the most though....,

**My daughter woke up with a terrible toothache Christmas morning. I never expected him to call me back when I left a message

I came here after going to a different dentist (to get a second opinion )the first dentist told me I needed so much work done and the bill was quite a few thousand more than I could afford. The staff was fighting in the back room. I left feeling so confused as to what happened. I called dr Francis office and they got me in and I couldn't be more pleased! they all had smiles on there faces never made me feel rushed they explained everything they were doing. I found out I needed a fourth of the work done that the 1st dentist told me I needed. I have never left a dentist office feeling so at

I've only been here once and will probably be my new permanent Dentist while living in Riverside. I can't speak for the work of Dr. Steven himself since he didn't really do any work on me. I came here looking for a new Dentist because I move to Riverside about a year ago. Interior was very nice and very well kept, probably one of the nices public restroom I've been in too. All the staff inside the office were very professional and welcoming. My dental assistant did an awesome job explaning everything she was doing and answered all my questions.

This is ABSOLUTELY the best dentist there is. Amazingly friendly staff, the place is very clean. Dr. Francis is very nice, patient and personable and he does excellent work. I have a fear of dentists, and they have always taken that into account and made me very comfortable. The prices are beyond fair and reasonable. I have nothing but respect, praise and admiration for thia dentist office. Go here, you wont be sorry!
