Used to be scared of the dentist not anymore everybody there has made it so relaxing and little to no pain.

Google Reviewer

After finally building up the courage to visit the dentist I am beyond happy that I chose Downey Modern Dentistry! Everyone was very nice, professional and reassuring and made my worries disappear. The Hygienist Marie Hernandez was the highlight of the visits with her positive attitude and awesome sense of humor and made me feel at ease even with my years of neglect of oral hygiene. Can’t thank them enough and look forward to a journey of healthy happy teeth!

Google Reviewer

I was really impressed by the care I received from Dr. Desar and her dental assistant Julie. From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed. Dr. Desar personally greeted me and took the time to understand what I was hoping to get out of my visit. Both she and Julie were incredibly caring and professional throughout the whole process. I truly felt seen and cared for. Highly recommend!

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.
