Being a dentist is my life: it is what I know to do best. I love what I do and think my patient family understands my passion and appreciates my attentiveness to their comfort and needs. Working with people of all ages, with unique experiences, stories, and dental needs and expectations makes my day enjoyable. It also presents a good challenge, because I need to figure out how to help each person in the way that is right for them. I think that this makes me a better dentist. Each of my patients deserves individual care and that is what I give them.
I love the interaction I have with patients, getting to know each on a personal level, and providing them with the dental care they need. It is rewarding to make a person feel better physically and emotionally, to educate them about their oral health, and to help them be happier!
My Doctorate of Dental Medicine was obtained at Centro Escolar University in Manila, Philippines. After passing the Bench Board for Foreign Graduates, I passed the California State Boards and have been a licensed dentist in California since 1996.
One of the most exciting aspects of dentistry, I find, is that the field is always evolving. Ongoing research leads to new techniques, materials, and technologies, which can improve all aspects of care: from diagnostics and treatment planning to procedures and outcomes.
Through continuing education attending meetings, seminars, lectures, and taking courses I stay current on the latest developments. Carefully assessing each new option, I am able to incorporate changes that improve patient care and provide the high-quality dentistry each of my patients deserve!
My father served in the US Navy and much of my early life was spent in Rhode Island and Virginia. I then lived in the Philippines for ten years while attending college and dental school, and have called Culver City my home since 1996.
Family is my happiness. I am married and have two wonderful children, both of whom are in college. My son is in business school but also has an interest in engineering. My daughter is a kinesiology major with a pre-health track and is intending to go to dental school and then, hopefully, join my practice! While my kids are at college our home is not empty as we have two dogs for company.
If not at the office I tend to be found at home, which is where I relax. But I do enjoy outings with friends, and my family likes to vacation and travel. I especially like gathering with my siblings. Im one of five sisters and all of us are in the dental field. My parents did an excellent job raising five girls!
I enjoy helping patients and knowing that we made them want to smile again! Dr. Edith is the most honest, sincere, genuine, and nice person I have ever met and this team is incredible. Everyone is always supportive, helpful, and enthusiastic to provide the best care for our patients!
I handle billing and scheduling, along with treatment planning and occasional dental assisting. I have my X-ray certificate, have studied ADA coding, practice management, scheduling, and customer care, and have been with Dr. Edith since 2015
I like seeing patients achieve their optimal oral health and knowing I made a difference in how they got there. The icing on the cake is when someone expresses their appreciation for what I and everyone here has done for them. Were not just a dental team: were a family, caring about one another and putting our best foot forward to make our patients happy and healthy!
I handle patient screening, take dental radiographs, remove dental plaque and calculus, and apply preventive material. I also provide education and counseling about proper oral hygiene and nutrition. I started in the field in 2002, have an Associate degree in Dental Hygiene from West LA College, and have worked with Dr. Edith since 2003.
I love having one-on-one relationships with patients and getting to know each other on a personal level. One of my favorite parts of my job is seeing the positive results of hygiene therapy and education. Its rewarding to work for a doctor and with a team that feels like a big family. We share the goal of maintaining or improving our patients oral health while providing the best service we can!
I work with patients to address their oral health situations. In addition to routine preventive and maintenance care, I provide supportive periodontal therapy and personalized education and motivation. My career started in 1996 and I joined Dr. Edith and this team in 2001: I was a dental assistant from 1996 to 2004 and have been a dental hygienist since 2006.
When not working I like spending time with friends and family, especially my two beautiful girls, Julia and Jianna. And whether big or small, I love planning surprises for my loved ones, especially my daughters!
I love to interact with people, learning why they have come to us and helping them achieve their dental goals. It feels good when they become part of our patient family! I believe in the commitment and care Dr. Edith has for each and every patient and know that is shared by the team. We are an extended family, including our patients!
I work on treatment planning, billing and accounts receivable, and scheduling. Ive been in the dental field since 1997, joined this practice in 2019, and have studied customer care, ADA coding, practice management and implementation, and marketing.
Outside the office, I love to cook and enjoy my time with family. With two young children, most of our leisure time is spent at museums, zoos, and amusement parks, and on Sundays, we attend church as a family.
I like that my job is to help people. Its enjoyable to interact with our patients, making sure they are comfortable before, during, and after every procedure, and seeing their healthy smiles! Dr. Edith is an amazing woman who is always willing to help and does so with a smile. She and the team are dedicated to providing the best care to the patients!
I assist Dr. Edith chairside, making sure she has everything needed while also supporting our patient. Im new to the dental field and this practice, having started in 2021, and I love everything about it. I am a Certified Dental Assistant and hold additional certificates in X-ray, Coronal Polish, and Dental Law and Ethics.
I am a very friendly person who is always laughing. I love to go out with friends and family. I love shopping, traveling, camping, and crafting, but most of all I love spending time with my four guinea pigs. And I love helping people, too.
You will always be warmly welcomed and helped to feel at home in our office. If there is ever anything you need to make a visit more pleasant, please let Dr. Edith or one of our staff know: we will move mountains to earn your trusting smile!
