Creating A Legacy of Care

Dr. Edgar Rivera

Dr. Rivera is renowned for his chair-side manner which seamlessly blends a kind heart, and skilled hands. His sense of humor further aids in alleviating the nerves of even the most anxious patients. Dr. Rivera specializes in sedation, implants, and full mouth restorations. Devoting over a decade of refining his expertise in these fields, Dr. Rivera's patient's frequently commend his gentle touch and meticulous attention to detail.

But what really lights Dr. Rivera up is seeing the transformation that he can bring to his patients' lives. He loves nothing more than helping his patients get their confidence back, and he takes great pride in watching them walk into a room with their head held high again.

That's why he focuses on creating a warm and welcoming environment in his practice, where patients can feel comfortable and at ease.
