Why Fiesta is Different
You have many choices when it comes to dentistry in the Mesa area, but we are different! Our practice is a place where we strive to develop a rewarding dental experience for you and your child.
We are trained pediatric dentists.
After dental school we pursued several years of specialty training, in hospitals, that qualifies us to work exclusively with children. This training provided us with experiences in emergency rooms, operating room anesthesia, and pediatric medicine. This has built a broad base of knowledge that we may use to help treat your child’s dental needs. We understand that your child’s mouth is connected to the rest of their body.
We hold advanced training in sedation.
As part of our residency training we provided multiple levels of anesthesia to our patients. This allows us to answer any questions you may have about sedation options, as well as safely provide sedation for your child. We want you to ask questions and feel comfortable with our expertise.
We will not hold your child down or strap them down.
We believe that quality dental care cannot be completed on a child that is being held down against their will. A bad dental experience can lay the foundation for a future of poor dental health. Our specialty training allows us to offer you options for completing your child’s treatment. We will treat your child how we would like our own children to be treated.
We use state-of-the-art equipment.
Our office strives to be paperless! You can complete the new patient information online before your first visit, and it will be electronically transmitted to us. We use digital radiographs and then show you the “pictures” on the computer screen.
We know that children are not “little adults.”
Children have specific needs and we pride ourselves on fulfilling them. A visit to the dentist should be a happy and exciting time for the child. It should also be a time of learning and education. We focus on educating the child and parent on preventive care.
If your child does need treatment our goals are:
- To provide a safe environment for your child
- To provide your child with quality dental work
- To provide an atmosphere appropriate that your child enjoys
- To always raise your child’s self-esteem
To assist in these goals, we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas), minimal and moderate oral sedation, and general anesthesia in our office.
