This is the best part of what we do! Our patients have never been numbers to us, and it shows in the generations of Southland families who have trusted us to treat them and their loved ones. At Long Beach Orthodontics we truly value that trust, and are wholeheartedly invested in you and your smile goals.
We believe that a happy, healthy smile is priceless. But we know that orthodontic care can be a strain on the budget. Thats why we strive to make it easy for you to achieve your smile goals through competitive rates, zero percent financing, and automatic payments.
I have been working in the orthodontic field for more than 20 years. Im very passionate about orthodontics and enjoy being able to help patients achieve the smiles of their dreams. Welcoming our patients and knowing they will receive the best care possible is very rewarding.
Iearned my license as aRegistered Dental Assistant in 1978. I have performed my duties as an RDA ever since.Workingin orthodontics is especially gratifying when treatment is completed and we see happy and satisfied smiles.The patients are friendly, fun to work with, and I like being a part of a team who delivers good results for them.
When I'm at home relaxing, a good book is something I look forward too. Exercising is an important part of my life, walking in the mornings begins my day. Bike riding is also part of my exercise plan and I enjoy a ride with friends. On weekends we are at local car shows with our 1932 Sedan. Vacations areusually planned around car events alsoandwe travel with people who enjoy the old classiccars and hot rods.
I have been a dental assistant since 2004, and became a registered dental assistant in 2005. I have experience working in general dentistry, oral surgery, and orthodontics. I enjoy making patients comfortable. I also enjoy seeing patients confidence levels rise as treatment progresses and love their big smiles at the end of treatment.
I have been in the dental field for over 30 years. I have experience in general dentistry, periodontics, oral surgery, pedodontics, and orthodontics. My desire has always been to be an orthodontic assistant because I am very passionate about the profession. The way I am able to communicate with my patients has always been my strongest attribute. I see my patients like family! It excites me when I finally get to show my patients the before and after photos of their teeth because together we accomplished the smile they always wanted.
I am a morning person. I love waking up with the sun to get my day started! On my days off from work, exercising, walking my dog, reading, attending to my garden, taking care of my grandchildren and spending time with my beautiful family fills my days with happiness.

They're really quick and accommodating. I have issues with gag reflex, sensitive teeth and being a mouth breather but they were really nice and made it easier on me while still doing their job. Overall, really good experience.

This place is really great. They have quality and professional staff, it's super clean, their prices are reasonable, and they explain things really well. My fourteen year old son has been going there for braces, and even he has good things to say about his experience there. It's been a really great experience for us so far, and I highly recommend them.
