Pineda Maritess, DMD

Love Dr Pineda and Michael who mans the front desk! They are warm, friendly, professional and very helpful. Highly recommend!

Let me start off by saying i have seen every dentist in my life. I am plagued by some of the worse unlucky bad genealogy type teeth ever. 2 failed root canals, 1 failed implant, 5 total root canals, and over dozen cavities and I’m only 30 years old. Dr. Maritess is so professional, so blunt and honest. Her staff is great brenda is sweet and very easy going. At the front office (argh i forgot his name) always got back to me always took the time to talk about the best pricing, gave me great deals and is a very humble gentleman. I really like him. I think he does a great job running this office.
it is a small office nicely tucked away off the street, but the staff and doctor here are great people and really take their time with the dental work you need. Dr. Maritess didn’t rush anything she went over a fine tooth comb to make sure every little detail was done to my teeth. I couldn’t be more proud to come here for my teeth.
Thank you guys!

Best service, hands down! Highly recommended for all your dental needs! I go to her more than my primary care provider!

Dr. Maritess is the best!!! I switched over from Glendora Smiles because I moved and regretted it. They were charging us services we didn’t even need and I have great insurance and it was coming out very pricey!!! I went back to Teeth and Gums and commute from Azusa to see Dr. Maritess and I am not leaving ever. She gives it to you straight, does not charge for extras (like a fancy toothbrush or 3D xrays), and always very friendly. She always asks about our family and treats us like good friends. I love the services they provide, you can watch a movie while getting your teeth cleaned! That’s the only way I get my husband in. Would highly recommend! The only downside is the wait, but that’s anywhere you would go that’s great.

Caring and straight forward. Staff and Dr. Pineda made sure I was comfortable during the entire procedure. They offered movies while on the seat. I lied the overall experience.

Dr. Pineda, the lady dentist behind Teeth and Gums has been taking care of my pearly whites since 2011. And she deserves some recognition! She does a very good job, and she has very light hands, and really really painless. Her clinic is super clean and modern. Oh i love sitting on the the high tech dentist chair with the personal tv and you can watch a movie while waiting.

Dr. Maritess Pineda did all of my dental work from 2009 to present
Its a small office 3 rooms. Usually only about 3 people working in the office including herself. Everyone is kind, helpful and inviting.
Pristine clean, new looking and nicely decorated.
She plays DVDs for you while you are getting dental work so you don’t get nervous or bored. She is informative, answers questions and has a good sense of humor.
I have had the following dental work here:
4 – 6 fillings
1 crown
2 veneers
several cleanings while I had braces
x-​rays
Bleaching
I got referrals for the rest.
Braces
Root canal
Wisdom teeth removal.
My smile looks AMAZING!
She is very patient. I had to send my 2^nd veneer (1^st was perfect) back to the 3^rd party lab (not her fault) 4 times but we finally got the color it right. She custom mixed the cement for me to match my teeth when the lab couldn’t get the color right.
SHE NEVER PRESSURED ME TO DO COSMETIC WORK OR TRY TO UP-​SELL ME ON SERVICES OR PRODUCTS AND I APPRECIATE THAT. While some dentists may try to scam you into getting treatments you don’t need, she is very honest and direct about the treatments you need and your options.
I have insurance and what I paid out of pocket seemed fair, although I was a student when I got a lot of these procedures done so it seemed pricey at the time. You get what you pay for and the service is well worth it.
Don’t be cheap get the white fillings! you will eventually want to get the silver ones removed anyway when they turn black and you finally make enough money to do so.

Dr. Pineda is an awesome dentist! Her staff is really on the ball and they cut the BS and service you as best they can. Waiting is nonexistent and they don’t use any scare tactics to get you to do dental work you don’t really need.
The entire office is super clean and very modern, with a personal tv at the dental chair.
I had a root canal done to the top back molar and Dr. Pineda did a great job!

Lovely dental experience. Salon-​like atmosphere inside, very friendly staff who learn your name. Open on Saturdays!- Amazing.
I watched a movie on a TV attached to the chair. Pain-​free experience, even when getting a filling! Looking forward to future visits.
Thanks Teeth & Gums
