I have had work here done with both doctors for about a year and they have both been great for me. With cavity fillings I had one time where an adjustment needed to be made after a couple of days and they got me in soon after. I appreciate both people in the office who have helped me figure next dental plans out.

I’ve had a great experience with Dr. Navasero and the entire team. Everyone is friendly, professional, and makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. Dr. Navasero takes the time to explain everything clearly and genuinely cares about their patients’ comfort and dental health. They also are very accommodating and have allowed me to come in for unexpected tooth chipping a day of. The office is clean, efficient, and appointments always run smoothly. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring dentist!

I’ve been coming to Confident Smiles since 2018 because it was a block away from my house. I’ve stayed a patient, even after I moved out of Downtown, because of the excellent customer service and gentle, but effective, dental work. 10/10
