At Pediatric Dental Specialists, we take the anxiety out of dentistry and orthodontics. But don’t take our word for it, see what our patients have to say!My son is very comfortable with the doctors, they have an extremely kid friendly atmosphere

I love Dr. Cortez and how he provides information that I am able to understands. I have referred so many people over to Dr. Cortez, because I know that they will love his work. He takes pride in working with children. He makes you feel welcome
-Ryan K.

My kids are taken care of by specialists in an environment where they are looking out for them--not trying to figure out how to charge me for more things. The staff is very kind and polite with all of us!
-Martha G.

It is a very comfortable environment for both me and my son, who is 2 1/2. I trust the staff and they are all very friendly.
-Michael E.

The office is able to work with children with special needs. The staff takes the time to explain things when I have questions. I like the personalized book they gave my children when they were new patients.

I'm new and was very impressed by the atmosphere and the friendly staff and dentist. But, the most important thing was that my daughter felt comfortable. This website is just the icing on the cake! Great idea...

What's So Special About an Orthodontist?

"Dentists, Orthodontists, they're all the same right?" We hear our patients asking this question as they wonder about the difference between an orthodontist and a dentist. Before becoming an orthodontist Dr. Planells started out in dental school and earned a DDS (dental degree), just like Drs. Cortez and Sanchez. After dental school however, Dr. Planells decided she wanted to learn more about orthodontics, which is one of nine specialties within the dental field. So she stayed in school for a few more years and became an expert in orthodontics and pediatric dentistry, focusing on tooth and jaw alignment and bite problems like overbites and under bites.

Other dental specialties you may have heard of include endodontic (focusing on the soft tissue inside your teeth), periodontic (focusing on the gums and other tissues surrounding your teeth) and prosthodontic (focusing on restoring and replacing damaged teeth).

Isn't it nice to know there's a dental expert here to help you through any type of treatment your teeth, jaw and gums might need?
