A Note from Dr. Tessier
“I love my work- Coto de Caza Quarterly

As A general, family dentist, I get to enjoy the full spectrum of providing dental care for my patients. Along with the pleasure of watching a mom and dad and their kids all come into the office to get their teeth cleaned and checked;
or, relieving someone’s pain or anxiety; or, the satisfaction of a cosmetic case, where we take old, crooked, discolored teeth and make them clean and white, either with veneers, or porcelain crowns, or tooth colored plastic fillings; or, orthodontically repositioning teeth, either with Invisalign removable aligners or metal braces.

The most amazing thing is seeing a person’s whole face and even their posture change when they feel good about smiling and not being embarrassed about their teeth.

A beautiful, new smile is a virtual face-life.” – Michael Tessier, D.D.S.
