Our Doctors

Start by thinking about what you actually need: routine checkups for kids, restorative work, or cosmetic treatment. At Crossroads Dentistry, our doctors all handle general family dentistry, so any of them can manage your checkups and most common procedures. If you have a more specific concern, our front desk team can point you toward the doctor whose focus lines up with it. Reading each doctor's profile is also a good way to get a feel for their background and approach before your first visit.

Your first visit starts with a conversation about your dental history, any concerns you have, and your goals for treatment. From there, we take any necessary X-rays and your dentist performs a full exam, checking your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw. We'll walk you through anything we find, explain your options in plain language, and build a treatment plan together, with no pressure to decide on the spot.

Yes, absolutely. If you've seen a particular doctor before and want continuity of care, just let us know when you book and we'll do our best to schedule you with them. New patients are welcome to request a doctor after reading their profile, or we're happy to match you with whoever has the next available opening.

Our doctors see patients of nearly every age, from young children through seniors, as part of our general family dentistry practice. We take a gentle, unhurried approach with younger patients to help build good habits and ease any anxiety around dental visits. If a child needs specialized pediatric care beyond what we provide, we're glad to point you to a trusted specialist in the area.

Each doctor on our team completed dental school and licensing requirements, and many have pursued additional training in areas such as restorative dentistry, cosmetic procedures, and oral surgery. We also keep up with continuing education each year so our techniques and equipment stay current. You can find details specific to each doctor's education and areas of focus on their individual profile page.

In most cases, yes. We find that patients get the most comfortable, consistent care when they see the same doctor over time, and we schedule with that in mind whenever possible. If your usual doctor isn't available and your needs are time-sensitive, another dentist on our team can step in and will have full access to your records and treatment history.

The easiest way is to use our online request form, where you can note your preferred doctor and appointment time. You can also call our Murrieta office directly, and our scheduling team will confirm availability and get you on the calendar. We'll follow up to verify details before your visit.

Please bring a photo ID, your insurance card if you have dental coverage, and a list of any medications you're currently taking. New patients should also arrive about fifteen minutes early to complete intake paperwork, or fill it out ahead of time if we've emailed it to you in advance. If you have records from a previous dentist, bringing those along helps your doctor get up to speed quickly.
