OUR PHILOSOPHY
At dundarave dental, we take a different approach to your oral health. We treat oral health as an integral component of systemic health. The mouth is the visible gateway to the rest of the body and reflects what is happening deep inside. Dentistry is an essential health care service because of its role in evaluating, diagnosing, preventing and treating oral disease, which can affect systemic health.
Beautifully located in a peaceful and tranquil neighborhood, we let nature soothe and relax our patients. We provide ocean view seats to endless sunsets and complementary bird shows from our window feeders so our patients can sit back and relax while we take care of their oral needs.
