Her emphasis on patient comfort as well as keeping up-to-date with the latest advancements in dentistry enable her to provide her patients with the best quality of care in the field. Dr. Caparas has a wide range of experience in different areas of dentistry, from family (children as young as 2 years old) and general dentistry, cosmetic and restorative dentistry, periodontal and surgical and root canal treatments. She also offers orthodontic treatment to her patients (traditional braces and invisalign).

"I would describe our practice as low volume and high personal care.  We truly treat our patient's needs and don't try to upsell them with unnecessary treatments and products.  My patients have come to appreciate my conservative treatment philosophy and trust me when I advise them they need treatment."
