The controversy about the safety and health implications of silver- mercury fillings still wages on. Todays technology has given us a superior, safer and more esthetic use of restoring a patients dental health. The new resin and ceramic materials are creating better mechanical and chemical bond to the natural tooth structure, reducing possibilty of leak that may result in decay under fillings.

We are proud that our office uses only digital x-rays, which significantly decreases exposure to our patients.

We attend dental meetings to say informed of new techniques, latest products, and the newest equipment that a modern dental office can use to provide state-of-the-art dental care.
As a practice, we truly believe that prevention and education are the keys for optimal care. We strive to provide dental care vs disease care. That is why we focus on thorough exams, checking the health of teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams and taking necessary x-rays and scanners. Not only are we focused on the health of your teeth, we are concerned about your general health as we review your medical history since there are illnesses that may impact your dental health.

(Translated by Google) I have been a patient of this office for 5 years. I started without health insurance, the costs with other dentists were exorbitant, Econ dental was the dental office that offered affordable services, cost effective in my pocket and with professionalism. Like any health professional (including me) a service cannot be offered without a prior EVALUATION. I went to the office after listening to the television announcement, receiving quality treatment and professionalism, I received what I heard EVALUATION, at that time cleaning was not feasible, the treatment plan was discussed, it was my option to accept or not. They also offered the optional bleaching if I wanted it and at the indicated time according to the plan. The waiting time was and is 5 minutes from the time of my appointment, it is my option to arrive before or at the indicated time. The clerical staff was courteous, cooperative, professional and friendly. The exceptional hygienists and dental assistants and the humane and professional doctors. We are treated as we treat, before criticizing, let's first evaluate our actions and reactions. We judge by how we are, the good we shut up and the "bad" we shout from the 4 winds. (Original) Desde hace 5 anos soy paciente de esta oficina. Comenze sin seguro medico, los costos con otros dentistas eran exhorbitantes, Econ dental fue la oficina dental que ofrecio los servicios economicos, costo efectivo a mi bolsillo y con profesionalismo. Como cualquier profesional de la salud (Incluyendome) no se puede ofrecer un servicio sin una EVALUACION previa. Acudi a la oficina luego de escuchar el anuncio televisivo, recibiendo un trato de calidad y profesionalismo, recibi lo que escuche EVALUACION, en ese momento no era viable la limpieza, se discutio el plan de tratamiento, era mi opcion aceptar o no. Tambien ofrecieron el bleaching opcional de YO desearlo y en el tiempo indicado segun el plan. El tiempo de espera fue y es de 5 minutos de la hora de mi cita, es mi opcion llegar antes o a la hora indicada. El personal clerical fue amable, coordial, profesional y simpaticos. Los higienistas y asistentes dentales excepcionales y los doctores humanos y profesionales. Somos tratados como tratamos, antes de criticar, primero evaluemos nuestras acciones y reacciones. Juzgamos por como somos, lo bueno lo callamos y lo "malo" lo gritamos a los 4 vientos.

(Translated by Google) EconDental is the answer to my pleas. Just like a good mechanic and a good lawyer, having a good dentist is very important. It is a matter of trust and honesty and feeling that you are attended to with care and affection. Doctor Luis G-Lopez is the owner of this Center, he HIMSELF practices the profession with passion. It has a team with over a hundred combined years of experience. The assistants are also dentists or graduates from other countries who receive the Great GENEROSITY, the opportunity to work and prosper. The Hispanic speakers and also the Anglos, we are blessed to have this team of super professionals addicted to Excellence and allergic to mediocrity. Today I felt that God was using his hands. Thank you Econ Dental Dr. Luis, you touched my heart. (Original) EconDental es la respuesta a mis susplicas. Asi como un buen mecanico y un buen abogado, tener un buen odontologo es muy importante. Es asunto de confianza y de honestdad y sentirse que te atienden con esmero y carino. El Doctor Luis G-Lopez es El propietario de Este Centro, el MISMO ejerce la profesion con pasion. Tiene un equipo con mas de cien anos combinados de experiencia. Las asistentes tambien son odontologas ograduadas de otros paises que reciben la Gran GENEROSIDAD, la oportunidad de trabajar y prosperar. Los hispanos parlantes y tambien los anglos, somos bendecidos de tener a este equipo de super profesionales adictos a la Excelencia y alergicos a la mediocridad. Hoy senti que Dios estaba usando sus manos . Gracias Econ Dental Dr. Luis, usted toco mi corazon.

If I could give this a .5 rating, it would be even lower than that. Staff is very unprofessional & obnoxious. Unattentive is an understatement! Rip people off, discounts are determined by office, whatever amounts. THEY SHOULD BE AUDITTED! I was a former patient, I'm in the dental field as well. We actually hired an employee from that office & the way she was and is still being treated is disgusting! Wouldn't let this place/these ppl work on my DOG.

(Translated by Google) They are the worst My mother initially went to them for an extraction of a tooth which they did NOT want to do. Because they preferred to do a whitening (which he didn't need) and then a crown that he didn't need either. the tooth after they took all the money from your insurance and now they tell you that you have to pay for the extraction of the tooth because you NO LONGER HAVE MONEY IN YOUR INSURANCE! (Original) Son de lo peor Mi mama inicialmente fue donde ellos por una extraccion de una muela la cual NO le quisieron hacer Porque prefirieron hacerle un blanqueamiento ( que no necesitaba) y luego una corona que tampoco necesitaba AHORA esa corona la tiene con un dolor horrible e infeccion y acudimos de nuevo para decirles a ellos que hicieron un mal procedimiento y al volver le dijeron que tenia que sacarse la muela despues que le sacaron todo el dinero de su insurance y ahora le dicen que tiene que pagar por la extraccion del diente porque YA NO TIENE DINERO EN SU SEGURO!

Prior to visiting this location for a cleaning I was a bit anxious about what to expect but after my exam/cleaning was over I walked away feeling confident and cared for ! My hygienist Sandra was very thorough, kind and to my surprise light handed which is nearly impossible to find! I recommend this location to family and friends!!!

(Translated by Google) They are shameless and shameless people. They just want to get the money from you or your insurance. They necessarily want whitening. You look at their teeth and they're all yellow. I asked them to start with the cavities that I have and by force they wanted to start with the crowns that I need. But come here. Who is going to pay? whose insurance is it? and the front desk guy with a bad temper. It does not represent customer service at all. Do not go to that place! (Original) Son gente descarada y sinverguenza. Solo quieren sacarte los chavos a ti o tu insurance. Quieren forzosamente un blanqueamento. Les miras los dientes a ellos y todos amarillos. Les pedi comenzaran por laa caries que tengo y a fuerza querian comenzar por coronas qje necesito. Pero ven aca. Quien es el que va a pagar? de quien es el seguro? y la tipa del front desk con mal caracter. No representa para nada atencion al cliente. No acudan a ese lugar !
