About Idalia Lastra, D.M.D.

Dr. Idalia Lastra takes a conservative approach to tooth movement, working around gum and bone growth, and often handles early phase-1 treatment for younger kids.

Dr. Idalia Lastra is described as conservative in how she moves teeth, timing adjustments to accommodate a child's gum and bone growth rather than rushing results, and early treatment for younger patients comes up more here than usual. Reviews also mention results holding up well, including one patient whose teeth stayed straight decades after treatment, and an office equipped with a CT scanner and 3D printer. A few reviews note long waits, sometimes over an hour, though the practice has also been described as fitting in emergency visits quickly.

After many years of having Dr. Lastra treat 4 kids in my family, I find myself needing her services. So grateful for her care and attention, I wouldn’t trust my smile to anyone else.

Depending on the traffick I will drive 1 to 2 hours every time I have an appointment and every time I end up driving it without any care in the world as I know that every time I go it is worth it. Doctor Lastra is a master of her craft and very patient. She takes her time with each case and almost feels like the more challenging a case is the more fun she is having. She is amazing and there is not enough words to describe it. Along with her charisma and skills, there is also the front desk and other staff who are all amazing people. Everytime you check in or out it is very fast and efficient. All in all, I have been coming here for many years now, and I will never switch to another dentist. Some of the nicest and most skillful staff, along with the ease of access. Maybe I just get lucky but everytime I come there is always parking. Every appointment is fast and efficient. They are also available and quick to attend to any emergency(teeth related, of course, lol). I usually never write long reviews, but they are so good that they need a long review. Much love, Dr. Lastra <3
