About Choice Dental Associates

After years living away from DFW, Dr. Mendoza happy to be back home with family and friends and thrilled to be offering her patients a “dental home” at Choice Dental Associates. What’s a dental home? It’s a place where you’re known by name, where multiple generations of your family—kids, parents, and grandparents—have their dental needs met in a warm welcoming setting, where the staff listens to patients and their treatment preferences, where they see the same dentist on every visit, and can pick right up where they left off.

It’s a bit of a full-circle experience for Dr. Mendoza as she remembers visiting her own Dallas dental home as a girl. It was there she fell in love with dentistry, especially the science and artistry involved in making healthy and beautiful smiles. “I want my patients to feel comfortable asking questions and learning about their oral care, like I did as a child,” she said. “I focus on education, prevention, and providing the best treatment in an honest and compassionate manner. I’ve completed extensive advanced training, so in addition to general dentistry, I can provide emergency care, oral surgery, endodontics, prosthodontics, orthodontics, pediatric, geriatric, and cosmetic dentistry, and digital dentistry, including radiographs and scans. That way, once our patients are comfortable with us, there’s little need to refer them elsewhere.”

Dr. Mendoza says the most important time she spends is just listening to her patients. “When patients come to me with a dental problem, I like to be honest and treat them like a family member,” she said. “I’m not here to sell you something but to be your partner in optimum oral health. Understanding what I’m doing and why helps alleviate dental anxiety. And the more my patients understand about their oral health, the more likely they are to do what they need to do to keep their teeth and gums healthy for a lifetime.”

When not on the job, Dr. Mendoza enjoys hot yoga, hiking, reading about history, philosophy and religions, and visiting historic sites and national parks. She’s been blessed to make medical mission trips to Guatemala and Honduras providing dental treatment in remote locations. She loves trying new things such as flyboarding, paddleboard yoga, cave diving, mountain hiking, visiting ancient churches, wildlife viewing, and new cuisines. She also enjoys hosting Smile Clinics to educate the community about keeping their smiles healthy. One of six siblings in a large Hispanic family, she can’t wait welcome you into her own growing dental family.
