Together with her husband, Dr. Sandra has fallen in love with everything Sonoma County has to offer and they have decided to settle down locally. They recently welcomed their baby girl into the world. In her free time, Dr. Sandra loves running, working out, hiking, trying new restaurants, playing with her beloved chihuahua rescue, and of course enjoying every moment she can with her new baby.
Our office utilizes a variety of new, yet proven, orthodontic technology. Our state-of-the-art digital scanner eliminates the need for those messy impressions, while our digital CBCT imaging system captures the highest quality 3D images of your face and jaw. After orthodontic care is complete, we can use our specialized dental laser to perfect your gums. From traditional metal brackets, to tooth-colored braces, to Invisalign clear aligners, we offer plenty of options to fit our patients active lifestyles.
We believe in educating our team. We often attend continuing education seminars to keep learning. Our team consists of the orthodontic assistants, patient care coordinators and our doctor. This highly skilled team performs many detailed and technical procedures to aid our orthodontist in achieving the perfect smile result.
