I can not say a bad thing about Dr. Navales. I've been seeing her for over 4 years and do not feel comfortable with any other dentist. She listens to her patients concerns and doesn't force certain treatments on her patients.
I have two straight and perfectly lined up wisdom teeth. I had a different dentist in the office insist on removing them. There was nothing wrong with them and I was told by my oral surgeon that they would be fine as long as I kept them clean. Dr. Navales was on board with keeping them in my mouth and avoiding unnecessary surgery.
I had two small fillings recently. She asked me if I would be okay without the numbing anesthetic. She felt it would hurt more to inject, than the actual fillings. We could always use the anesthetic if I couldn't handle it. Turns out she judged perfectly and I felt nothing. I left talking normal with the ability to feel my mouth without the excessive drooling.
I have a small bonding on my front tooth due to a very small chip. The cosmetic dentist that I saw bonded up half way to the tooth and then bonding turned turned yellow. Dr. Navales was able to removes the excess bonding and seal it for me. My natural tooth is exposed again with bonding only where it is necessary. What a difference in my smile.
Dr. Navales is friendly, gentle, caring, well educated, and the best dentist I've ever had. I recommend her for ALL of your dental needs.
