Bernadette De Santos

We were referred to Dr. Desantos by our dentist and thank goodness we were! We have had a very positive experience for both of our young kids, and I’d definitely recommend her without any reservation. We did expanders and phase 1 braces. She was thoughtful, warm, and made the kids feel comfortable. And her whole office staff is friendly. Plus it was so easy to communicate with her office to schedule appointments or ask questions. And the location is so convenient. Highly, highly recommend.

Dr. DeSantos agreed to fulfill my specific request - to fill the gaps formed between the expander bands and the tooth. This allowed us to enjoy our vacation instead of having to interrupt it and go home to see our orthodontist. She was the first (out of three) orthodontist to dry brush the child's teeth before manipulations with the expander. Highly recommend!

I have used Dr. DeSantos and La Costa Orthopedics for two of my kids braces and have had an amazing experience. Her and her staff are so welcoming and kind. I highly recommend them!
