I am passionate about dentistry. It is part of my familys heritage and the way that I chose to leave a footprint in this planet. After more than two decades of being a dentist, I have learned a lot from my patients, from their experiences and their stories, and I feel like I owe it to them and to my family to be the person who can bring some light, some order into all the chaos from the incredible amount of misinformation available in the media. My goal is to point patients in the right direction and help them find a path that will lead them to a more healthy and happy lifestyle. Dr. Marin
As a third-generation, Dr. Oscar Marin proclaimed his interest in dentistry at the age of three. Once he was old enough, he began working in the lab at his fathers dental practice. There, he saw the meaningful interactions his father had with his patients, and the positive effect he had on their health and their lives. More so, he saw how happy his father was at work, and how much his patients trust and relationships meant to him. Those moments cemented his decision to follow his fathers footsteps to become a dentist.
Dr. Marin and his wife Diana have two daughters, Nicole and Valentina. Family time always takes priority, but when he has a free moment, Dr. Marin enjoys running, hiking, mountain biking, and playing the guitar. He also produces our patient-education podcast Marin Dental Media and loves adding new content to our YouTube channel.
To me, being a dentist has been so fulfilling. Whether Im helping with a patients self-esteem because of misaligned or missing teeth, getting someone out of pain, helping them eat their favorite foods again because they had missing teeth, or even assisting in the diagnosis of an underlying systemic issue that the patient was unaware of, my ability to enhance someones quality of life through dentistry is what motivates me. Dr. Quinto
Dr. Paul Quinto often hears from patients, I hate coming to the dentist. He doesnt take it personally. He understands the feeling is rooted in fear and anxiety, but also understands that those feelings can change. Through building trust, providing honest information about treatments, and treating each patient with genuine compassion, Dr. Quinto seeks to eliminate peoples negative feelings about going to the dentist. His mission is to make people smile, after all!
A second-generation dentist, Dr. Quinto saw the difference his mother made in the lives of patients in her practice. He saw her compassion and the ease at which patients trusted her. He saw her positive attitude brought home from work every day, and realized the quality of life that dentistry provides is not only for patients, but for dentists as well.
Dr. Quinto completed his dental education at Loma Linda University. Since then, he has stayed up to date on new advancements in techniques and materials in dentistry, in order to give patients the best possible experience. This commitment to education goes beyond himself to his patients as well. He enjoys seeing the A-ha! moments when his patients understand what needs to be done and become collaborators in their own treatment.
Dr. Quinto is not ashamed to admit that his favorite hobby is eating. You can usually find him in the kitchen trying out new recipes that (hopefully) his daughters also enjoy. They are his harshest critics! The best family times are spent in the great outdoors, looking for new adventures and exploring off the beaten path.
