Dr. Landeros is the best dentist I've ever been to. He's patient, smart, precise, gentle, listens to questions and responds with depth and explanation, considers your concerns, not money hungry, realistic and truly wants the best for his patients. I am very happy to see he is now working with his own practice. It's been a year since I got my crown but the quality of Dr. Landeros' work was reassured for me today. After a cleaning I got an exam from a different dentist in a different city. As this other dentist took a look at my teeth the first thing he said, and I quote, was, "Wow! Now that is a quality crown. You will have that for many years." I asked the dentist how he was able to tell the crown was done well and his response was "The margin between your tooth and the crown is virtually undetectable. The gap between your crown and the neighboring tooth is very good so food and bacteria won't get trapped and since you've told me you haven't had any problems with it and often forget it's even there that means you don't have any problems with your bite or it's alignment." This reassurance was nice to hear because when my tooth originally chipped I was very concerned. I trust Dr. Landero's opinion and highly recommend him for dentistry work, especially crowns.

I've been in search of a new dentist for longer than I care to admit. I have a lot of work that needs to be done and re done... I hesitantly made a new patient appointment with Dr. Landeros and WOW, I'm so glad I chose his practice. From the front office staff, to the dental hygienists, I was greeted kindly and treated with respect. The major plus is that I could tell that Dr. L isn't in this business for profit, he genuinely wants to give me a healthy smile!

This is by far the most calming sweet group of folks and caring dentist I have ever been to. If you have anxiety or dental phobias,work with your doctor and dr. Bonin and let everyone know how you feel. They are so great. Plus very talented and no pressure. Thank you dr bonin and staff for making all my dental care safe and non stressful.

For the past 25 years I have trusted my dental care to this office. That speaks volumes as I am quite particular. Their customer service or "patient" care is over the top. Kind, professional, through and knowledgeable. It doesn't get any better and they have made my "trips to the dentist" enjoyable. Thank you again, Ron-

I ALWAYS feel very cared for! I am impressed with how personal and supportive everyone is. Krista is a gem! She is professional, kind, compassionate, patient and gentle. I gushed about how great she is to my kids after my cleaning today, which is why I felt that I should take the opportunity to provide that feedback here. I am so grateful to have been referred to this dental office. Thank you ♥️
Shelly Hughes
The best dentist office I've ever been to. From the front desk to the back, you get amazing people with top of the line dental work and more than reasonable prices. I went in a year ago and they expertly tackled every problem whilst taking care of my huge phobia of needles. I highly recommend them and will never go anywhere else!
