Monica Barrera, DDS

Patients can be very scared of the dentist. I'm here to help each patient's dental issues. Do any of these apply to you?

Have you ever wanted to improve your smile? Cosmetic dentistry can help. Call me for an initial consultation!

Do your teeth need to be treated like royalty? The crowns I make are artfully prepared to match the color and shape of your surrounding teeth. My primary goal is to keep your bite even and comfortable.

Many patients come to me for help with pain or bite discomfort. In some instances, their problem is solved with a crown. Take a look at the article below. Perhaps you or a loved needs this procedure.

Do you need to see a dentist? Are your teeth getting loose? Call me.

May You have a lovely, healthy, happy 2015! Keep smiling and don't forget to brush and floss......

Have you ever woken up with a headache, or pain in the neck, pain in the shoulders? Have you been told that you brux, or clench or grind your teeth while you sleep, possibly that you have TMJ? There is a minimally invasive answer to your pain and discomfort.....call me.

Doesn't a good night's sleep make you smile? I smile thinking about waking up well rested! How about you?

Beautiful young patients come in for teeth cleaning and they are unaware of the risks to their overall health and the health of their teeth. Take a look @@

I love coffee and so do many of my patients. Did you think that it could help boost memory and help concentration? Well, it can. Big smile!!!

Which was your most surprising mouth myth?

Imagine a time when you will always be able to have strong, healthy teeth using your own baby teeth: smiling now. How about you? The tooth fairy was right on by collecting all the children's teeth. http://www.cbsnews.com//scientists-grow-teeth-out-of-urine/

BEWARE OF BLACK ICE Don't lose your beautiful smile to a walk outdoors during the winter. Please be careful not to slip and fall on the ice outdoors. Normal activities like walking your dog or walking to your car can be dangerous. The photo below happened from a fall on the ice. Please take caution.......Your smile depends upon it.
