Featured Treatments
Our family-friendly dentists offer a complete range of services from preventive dental care to general, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry treatments. Popular procedures include:
Dental Implants
A missing tooth can impact your oral and overall health, causing jawbone deterioration and changes in your facial appearance. Fortunately, dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. If you have missing teeth, our dentists can review your implant candidacy.
Orthodontics
At our Chula Vista, CA, office, we offer several orthodontic options, including conventional and self-ligating Damon braces. We also feature the discreet ClearCorrect™ system, which uses a series of custom clear aligners, as well as Quick Aligners for straighter teeth in only a few months.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are one of the most effective and versatile restorative treatments. If you have a severely decayed, missing, or cracked tooth, we might recommend a traditional or implant-supported crown. We use porcelain and zirconia for our lifelike dental crowns.
Dental Bridges
A single missing tooth can have serious effects on your surrounding teeth, bone health, and general health. Bridges literally bridge the gap caused by one, two, or three missing teeth in a row. We offer traditional bridges anchored by lifelike dental crowns and implant-supported restorations.
LANAP
LANAP® is a revolutionary, FDA-cleared treatment protocol for the management of gum disease. Instead of the metal tools used in traditional gum surgery, LANAP uses a special dental laser called the PerioLase MVP-7. The result is quicker, quieter, and more comfortable treatment performed with greater precision. Dentists must be certified to perform LANAP. Our Chula Vista dentists are proud to offer this modern treatment option.

Our State-of-the-Art Technology
At Perfect Smiles California, our dentists use the most advanced tools to give patients the best possible treatments.
Our 3D panoramic X-ray machine can pinpoint issues that may go undetected with traditional imaging techniques, so we can accurately plan for treatments like implants and orthodontics.
Information generated from our X-ray machine creates precise treatment resources. Our team sends those scans to our 3D printer, creating surgical guides for implant placement.
We can also take 3D scans of our patients' teeth, avoiding the need for messy traditional impressions. This can mean more natural-looking restorations and more accurate treatment.

Prioritizing Patients And Their Comfort
"I had not been to the dentists in years until I absolutely had to. I was desperate and googled dentists near me. Perfect Smiles was the first dentist I called. Within minutes Bernardo returned my call, verified my insurance and scheduled an appointment for the same day. The whole staff is professional and very personable. They go out of their way to make me feel comfortable and make sure every one of my concerns is addressed. Dr. Garate and Dr. Falcon have made it feel like a family atmosphere and it is a bonus to be able to watch anything on TV as they are working on your teeth. I highly recommend Perfect Smiles."
