Sendero Dental Studio

We’re Expanding!

by Victoria Kertz

It’s official! Dr. Jeffrey Barrera has doubled the footprint of his Rancho Mission Viejo dental practice after just three years, and to celebrate, he’s hosting a spectacular Customer Appreciation Event next month! Sendero Dental Studio is transforming an adjacent office into a state-of-the-art surgical suite with digital dental technology and sleek new patient facilities to make treatments like extractions and root canals less stressful and more efficient. The expansion is a substantial accomplishment for the growing practice, and Dr. Barrera says the experience has filled him with immense gratitude.

“When we first opened Sendero, we hoped to grow with the community. To experience this kind of growth and welcome so many new patients each month, I wanted to show my appreciation. I wanted to find a way to thank the community and invite everyone to see this beautiful, new space,” enthused Dr. Barerra. On October 20, Dr. Barrera and his team will host an event to celebrate their grand re-opening and to thank patients for their loyalty. The space in front of their Sendero Marketplace location will come alive with music, giveaways, food trucks, and fun for the whole family, just in time for pre-Halloween festivities.

The event will be open to the public, and Dr. Barrera hopes that current patients will invite their friends and colleagues to enjoy the festivities and explore all that Sendero has to offer. “We’re so incredibly grateful for all the referrals and growth, but we’re really thankful for the friendships we’ve made in this wonderful community. Our patients feel like family, and we can’t thank them enough.”

In addition to annual dental check-ups and cleanings, Dr. Barrera also offers oral digital scanning utilizing panoramic x-ray or panorex. Gone are the days of gooey, gag-inducing impressions. Sendero’s patients receive teeth, jawbone, and oral scans with this superior technology for comfort and ease.

One of the newer offerings at Sendero Dental Studio is one which patients may not immediately associate with oral health. Dr. Barrera administers patient airway scans to detect for sleep apnea. This commonly untreated disorder interrupts the breathing process and results in shallow breaths, snoring, and overall poor sleep. While it may not intuitively relate to a traditional dental checkup, increasing numbers of patients are requesting this service to improve their overall health and quality of life.

Digital airway scans provide the Sendero team with useful information in diagnosing the possible presence of sleep apnea. Once the size of a patient’s airway is mapped, Dr. Barrera partners with a sleep apnea team to review the data. Even if a patient does not suffer from the condition, the team may customize an oral appliance to prevent or minimize snoring or labored nighttime breathing. This service is just one of the many ways dental practitioners are now equipped to assist patients in achieving longer and healthier lives.

Dr. Barrera continuously strives to provide concierge-level service in a high-tech and innovative environment, but admits his dedicated and caring team of professionals give Sendero its heart. The knowledgeable and attentive administrative team and dental hygienists make certain that even the smallest detail is noticed and resolved. Associate dentists, Dr. Kisling and Dr. Limalso, also treat the practice’s growing clientele. “I’m so excited to team up with two great associates who share my vision and will be here for many years,” shares Dr. Barrera.

Sendero’s patient-first atmosphere and mission is evident in the glowing reviews found on Google and other online sites. One new patient commented on how generous the doctors were with their time. “Together, they spent over 90 minutes with me. It was the most complete and comfortable dental evaluation I have ever experienced,” she said.

If you have yet to visit Sendero Dental Studio, the doctors, hygienists and staff welcome you on October 20 for food, fun, and a tour of their newest facilities.
