About Your Dentist
John Contreras, DMD
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” - Benjamin Franklin
My Mission
“Dentistry is a rewarding profession that is constantly evolving. My aim is to keep implementing cutting-edge technology so I can offer my patients optimal treatment. I seek to not only address my patients’ concerns, but also find it necessary to educate them on how lifestyle choices can affect their oral health. I never grew up fearing the dentist due to the great care I was provided with, and I aspire to do the same for my patients.”
