As I reflect on my practice over the last 30 years, I am grateful for the friendships that have developed and grown with my patients. I consider myself very fortunate that so many of my patients choose to see me even though they have moved out of the area and even out of state.'
'Treating my patients with respect and kindness, I encourage them to ask questions. I believe this builds a solid foundation of trust and open communication. My patients entrust me with their care, so I am committed to taking the time to explain dental procedures. I want each of my patients to make an educated and informed decision about his or her dental treatment.

Quality care founded on educationWith the field of cosmetic and restorative dentistry always changing, I can never consider my education as complete. To provide the level of quality care that my patients have come to expect, my learning is and remains ongoing. I have always been an avid student and I always will be. My extensive experience in all areas of family dentistry including: Cosmetic Dentistry; Endodontics (root canals); Prosthodontics (crowns, bridges, and dentures); Implant Restorations and Oral Surgery, allows me the unique perspective of offering patients a comprehensive treatment plan.
Committed to professional growth and improvementDentistry is still my passion. There are so many new advances in technology and the delivery of dental care it will always keep my interest. Through continuing education and the development of a talented staff, I continue to be challenged to grow as a professional. Each year, I take a variety of continuing education courses and attend many hours of seminars to provide patients with the kind of dentistry they deserve. Meeting with my colleagues on a regular basis helps improve the care we offer patients.

Quality care founded on educationBeing a member of various professional organizations provides me with the avenue to exchange ideas and learn a great deal about whats new indentistry. With over 200 continuing education credits in cosmetic dentistry and implant dentistry, I strongly believe in continuing education. As dentistry is constantly changing, I want to be able to offer you the latest advances in both technique and technology. I am committed to understanding my patients dental needs. By providing the necessary information and options available, each patient is afforded the opportunity to make informed decisions for his or her oral health care. My goal is always to provide quality dental care with a gentle touch.
Dedication to communityAfter graduating, I used the education and training I had received to provide dental care to people less fortunate while on several Mission trips to Peru, Mexico and China. What an incredible experience to meet other people and learn about their cultures! Back here in Orange County, I volunteer at several free clinics in the area.

Today, I had my dental check-up appointment with Dr Andrea Fortes. As always, I was taken care of very well! She is very thorough and even agreed to follow up on an issue so that my good dental health will continue! I am appreciative of her professionalism. Anne Champagne

I have been using this practice for my dental health for over 40 years. They have never disappointed me. They truly treat you like family. Times that I had a dental emergency they always fit you into their schedule. Dr. Fortes is truly a remarkable professional. Allows plenty of time for your visit. Always explains the service needed and answers questions. The staff at this practice are professional and very courteous. And, they know what they are doing. Give your oral care the treatment it deserves and visit this practice. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed.

Dr. Fortes always goes above and beyond. I came in to have a tooth checked out because I was in pain, I had such an amazing visit that I referred my whole family. From the front office staff to the hygienists, assistants, this office is very professional and customer service at its best. Thank you so much Dr. Fortes, Leslie, Liz, Joanna and Jessica.

Dr. Fortes and her staff are simply the best. I have been a patient here for over 25 years...first with Dr. Mumolo and then with his new young dentist, Dr. Fortes. The dental care is top notch and they place a high priority on dental care as part of an overall health strategy. You only get one set of adult teeth, trust this dental.practice to help you keep them for life.

I started out as a patient of Dr. Mumolo's over 20 years ago and now both of my children are patients of both Dr. Fortes and Dr. Mumolo. The doctors are very gentle, kind and take care in explaining the work they are doing. The office staff and dental support team are all amazing. They really do take time to get to know you and care for you as an individual. And the treatment is top notch! I highly recommend both Doctors and their entire team.

Just the BEST! Dr. Fortes and her staff are so amazing, both my kids are get this.... excited to go back! They offer FREE teeth whitening with regular hygeine appointments. It is amazing that they offer this, but part of the reason they do this is because whitening can hurt your teeth and they don't want people, especially teens to damage their teeth doing the wrong thing. They put patients at ease, they are caring, they are excellent dentists up on the latest technology, and I highly recommend them!
