Air Abrasion Americas

Dr Ivan Hernandez is such a competent and compassionate professional. I had to have an extraction and was reluctant to do so. He patiently and kindly explained the whole situation and the role that tooth would play in prolonging my ongoing issues. He sent me for tomography which was the fastest, easiest, most pleasant thing ever and he used those images to explain the problems and make it very clear for me to see what my situation is. His assistant Paulina is a professional and warm person. Together they make a really great team. While the office is small, it has everything needed including a big screen TV for reviewing the images of the teeth and then for showing music concerts that were a good distraction while Dr. Hernandez worked on me. I found the cost of the 2 deep, periodontal cleanings I needed plus the other procedures, to be very reasonable, less than 80USD. I have finally found a dentist here, who I feel good about.

Efficient and friendly. Went in for an emergency wisdome tooth removal and they were able to recognize when a situation was too much to handle. They guided me to an oral surgeon. Will most definitely be returning for any future dental work.

This review only applies to Drs. Jorge Armenta and Paulina Contreras. Approximately 70% of all dental work is correcting old, failed dental work. Mine last week was 100%: 3 failed molar composite fillings and two 40 year old incisor root canal crowns. I brought in a dental CAT scan obtained the day before at SA Dentis Digital Dental Imaging. The doctors' recommendations were rational and reasonable - there was no pressure or upselling. Upon Dr. Armenta's recommendation, Dr. Paulina prepped and installed 2 molar crowns without root canals, also a very large molar composite filling. On my insistence, she worked without anaesthetic. Her work was exacting, unrushed, gentle, and thorough. I also brought in my self-care materials. I consulted with the doctors about methods, recorded progress, and prognosis. Dr. Armenta was genially supportive of my efforts. Dr. Paulina, which whom I scheduled extra time particularly for consultation regarding self-care, very capable and willingly offered advice and demonstration regarding flossing, brushing, self-irrigation of gum pockets, etc. These two doctors are fluent in English, thoughtful, careful, courteous, and highly skilled. The advice and treatment I received there was the best I have experienced in any dental office, including the US, Canada, and Europe. The cost savings paid for my 1-week vacation in Playa del Carmen. I hesitated to write this review because I want to return to this office in future - but finally felt that my desire for their continued success has to overcome my own selfish interest. I am a 68 year old chiropractor and have spent considerable time/effort/money over the past few years in researching and practising dental self-care, resolving periodontitis, remineralizing my own teeth, regenerating my gum pockets and recission with considerable success with Orawellness information and products. I try to be very courteous, but most dental offices find my desires for self reliance more or less offensive, or just silly. In contrast, while Drs. Armenta and Contreras do not promote these efforts, they were supportive and encouraging. Dr. Paulina is cognizant and approving of advances in dental remineralization and enamel permeability that others downplay. The office staff are courteous and service-oriented, although almost entirely lacking in English language skills.
