Lupe S.

I brought my sons here, who are 9 and 4 years old, and we had such a wonderful experience. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. When my oldest started to get anxious, they really took the time to put him at ease and make him comfortable. I’m so happy we found Shining Smiles Dentistry as our new dentist.
