Planet Dental is thrilled to provide our patients with quality dental care in Laredo, Texas, and to contribute in a positive way in our community. Our dentists and team are dedicated not only to providing excellent dental care, but also to getting to know each patient individually so you can feel more at home during your visits.
We love our patients, and we love what we do! For years, we have been helping others achieve healthy smiles that increase confidence. We believe that each patient is unique, and you deserve to feel good about yourself! Each treatment plan is designed with you in mind, so you can rest assured that you are getting the care that is most beneficial for your smile.
Planet Dental is founded on creating extraordinary experiences for both patients and staff. The company initially started out with two doctors who had a vision. The vision was based on four Core Values still in existence today.
The belief in these values is how we push ourselves to excellence. They arent just words used in the office; we believe in them wholeheartedly. So much so, they accompany us in our day-to-day lives. Yet, what we believe above all else is one must have balance.
Our team understands with every interaction comes an opportunity to leave a lasting impression. We continue to separate ourselves by instilling an open communication policy, accompanied by a collaborative spirit.
The best part of my day is a gigantic smile and a high-five from a patient at the end of their visit. I love that I can provide gentle, patient-focused dental care that makes a persons mouth healthier and makes them happy at the same time.
Dentistry allows me to have an immediate, positive impact on a persons life. When someone comes to me and theyre in dental pain, I can remove it and make them pain-free again. When a patient needs restorative care, I can make it possible for them to chew properly and with comfort. And when a patient wants to improve the appearance of their teeth, I can give them a wonderful, confident, beautiful smile.
I was awarded my Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS) by the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco. Since graduation, Ive actively pursued continuing education courses. Oral healthcare is constantly changing, with new treatments, materials, and technologies being developed. The best of these allow me to provide even better, more efficient and effective, care to my patients.
After growing up in southern California, Im now glad to call Laredo my home. Im a lucky man, with a loving and supportive wife, a Yorkie named Louie, and our first child is on the way! When Im not working, I enjoy being with family and friends. I also love traveling, riding motorcycles, golf, and working out.
I love being a pediatric dentist. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful children, and the friendships that I've built with my patients and their families are one in a million. It has always been my focus to make each patient feel at home during treatment, and I work hard to give my patients the attention they deserve.
My education in dentistry has provided me with a strong foundation of knowledge and experience. Additionally, by regularly participating in continuing education, I am able to stay current on the latest technology and dental treatments. My patients deserve the best, and continuing education allows me to provide more options and better results. I am a member of several professional associations that provide me with opportunities for continuing education, including the:
I am truly blessed to live and work in such a wonderful community. I enjoy getting to know my patients and their families, and it is always such an honor to know that I have made a difference in so many lives. I couldn't ask for a better job or for a better group of people to be sharing smiles with me. I look forward to working with you.

(Translated by Google) I do NOT recommend orthodontics from this clinic, they do their job badly and then you have to pay again so that they can do it right again. They change orthodontists very frequently. My daughter received about 4 different ones in 3 years. (Original) NO recomiendo a ortodoncia de esta clinica, hacen mal su trabajo y luego tienes que volver a pagar para que te lo vuelvan a hacer bien. cambian de ortodoncistas muy frecuentemente a mi hija la atendieron como 4 diferentes en 3 anos.

I have been a patient with them for the past 8 months for my orthodontist treatment. I can say they have a very friendly staff who's always there to answer every question I have had on my treatment. They treat every patient with respect and I will definitely continue to attend here for future treatments I may need.
