Sandcastle Pediatric Dentistry

The best kids office! Staff are all friendly & patient. Dr Ortega has been wonderful with my 6 year old and her care. Explains things well, talked her through a tough procedure. It’s a nice clean office, interesting toys to play with in the waiting room & TVs mounted on the ceiling for a great distraction during cleaning or procedures.

Our three children have been receiving dental care from Dr. Ortega and the team at Sandcastle since they opened. We love the team there! The hygienists and clerical staff are friendly and definitely cater to dealing with pediatric patients. Dr. Ortega is amazing! He has great chair-side manner and has been great with providing preventative care tips to keep kids out of the chair. You can’t say that about every dentist! We’ve had everything from regular checkups to sealants and extractions. We always believe our kids are well cared for and not just another “number.” Dr. Ortega takes the time to put the kids at ease and explain everything to parents. He even makes follow-up calls/texts after procedures to check in his patients! Our kids love going because they get prizes (sticky hands

I'm so lucky to have found this dentist through a friend. My 4 year old had refused dental treatment twice and Dr. Mark and his team worked some kind of magic to get in a cleaning, xrays and exam. Magic, I tell you. Also, the staff and lobby are so welcoming and put him at ease immediately. He felt safe even though he cried through most of the cleaning.

We came here for a second try/opinion… The first dentist recommended my son be put to sleep and included teeth that didn’t exist on their original treatment plan so I was excited when we found this doctor- I normally don’t leave negative reviews, but I feel this experience is worth sharing for other parents. I brought my son in for treatment and made it clear that he does not do well with feeling confined or having his nose covered. Despite that, the office insisted on using nitrous oxide. After going through the already stressful and upsetting process of numbing him, the dentist ultimately decided he was “not a candidate” and recommended full anesthesia — being put to sleep — to complete the work. This was incredibly frustrating and honestly traumatic for my son, especially considering

Excellent dentist! My daughter needed a tooth extracted urgently. Dr. Ortega was able to see her the same day. He has such great bedside manner and put my very nervous daughter at ease. Sandcastle's staff is equally amazing. They were all so welcoming and professional. Highly recommend!!!
