  My 81-year-old mother had been dealing with recurring tooth infections for several months. Without dental insurance, we were worried about the cost of treatment, especially after being referred to a periodontist. A friend recommended Dr. Vela, and we couldn’t be more grateful. After learning about our situation, he quickly came up with a treatment plan that included extracting the problem tooth and performing a deep cleaning. He answered all my questions with confidence and professionalism, and I felt comfortable moving forward. Over the next few visits, my mother’s gum inflammation improved remarkably. Today was her fifth and final treatment, and her gums are completely healed! We were also pleasantly surprised by  the reasonable cost. Thank you so much to this wonderful dental office for your kindness, expertise, and care. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist!
