Angela Spencer

Our orthodontic experiences have been great at Clairemont Smiles. The staff is wonderful, the doctor is honest, and the braces are giving my kiddos amazing smiles. Our favorite person is Marella at the front desk. She makes every visit pleasant and personable. She's professional, knowledgeable, and she still manages to make the office feel like an extension of our family community. All around, lovely.

Dilia De Leon

My family and I have been patients at this office for over 5 years. We always have the best experiences. Everyone is knowledgeable. One person in specific I’d like to shout out is Marella. She is very patient and always goes above and beyond to help. Any questions you might have she will either know the answer or find the answer. Thank you Marella for all you do. ♥️

DARLENE ORTEGA

I was in search of an orthodontist who accepted my insurance, after reaching to countless locations I found Clairemont Smiles, the receptionist Marella was so amazing and patient with me. She helped me get set up and booked me an appointment that fit my schedule. Staff are amazing and professional. Marella is always flexible with my appointment with my busy schedule she took care of all of my insurance questions and made it so easy for me. Getting braces was scary but my tech Larissa was so kind and gave really good advice! I highly recommended everyone make this your place for your dental needs!

What is the Mouth-Body Connection® ?


The Mouth-Body Connection® refers to the link between oral health and overall health, and the role that the harmful bacteria and inflammation in our mouths play in chronic, systemic disease. That’s why it’s time we talked about more than your teeth. Our office prioritizes your overall health as it relates to your oral health. When we care for your smile we’re also looking out for your entire self.
