Daniel Ponce, DDS

My two sons have been coming to see Dr. Ponce for 3+ years now and actually look forward to the visits. Front office staff are cordial and pleasant and the hands on RDAs are knowledgeable and take the time to teach my sons how to clean/​floss better. Dr. Ponce is fun and professional but also knows how to talk to a young child so as not to be intimidating. He is like their best friend that we only see every 6 months. The kids also enjoy the video selection, bean bag mountain, fish tanks, and toy box. We all strongly recommend Dr. Ponce.

Dr. Ponce is a wonderful pediatric dentist in a superb pediatric dentistry office. He’s witty, articulate and able to communicate effectively and easily with his young patients. He inspires trust in the kids, something you want in your kids’ dentist.
My children are now entering college, but they don’t want to leave his practice and don’t mind being the Tall Kids on their visits.

Dr. Ponce is super awesome! Both my kids love him. My Father-​In-​Law is a retired periodontist and he gives Dr. Ponce two thumbs up as well. (My FIL loves to tag along on my kids dental visits.) He is kind, smart, gentle and does a great job of gaining the kids’ trust.

We’ve just started with Dr Ponce. My 6 year old was pretty apprehensive, but left delighted. They offer movies to help keep the children entertained during cleaning. I personally found Dr Ponce to be really good with children and adults. After hearing such great things, my four year old can’t wait for her appointment! This office does only take certain insurance. If you do not have one of them, you pay in full at the time, and they will submit the paperwork to your insurance, and your insurance will reimburse you. Worth the hassle. It’s a great office.

my 7 year old hasn’t been to the dentist in…2 years… oops. turns out she has SIX cavities. we went slow and did the sealants first… then came the big day to do the fillings. we split the visit up and on the first visit my daughter decided she thought it «just isn’t fair to kids to have to do this». it took us about 45 minutes of negotiation before proceeding to the laughing gas. the whole time everyone was extremely patient, no one got annoyed or tried to rush. a lot of laughing gas later the first two were done, the next visit we were able to complete the final four. staff is fantastic and patient — thx Dr Ponce!

We just saw Dr. Ponce a few days for our first dentist visit. I have to say that I didn’t expect it to go well (I’ve heard a lot of nightmare stories about first time visits). But it went very well and our daughter (15 months) was smiling and happy!
Dr.Ponce and his staff were VERY patient with her. They made sure they «earned» her trust before doing anything in her mouth. They also took a lot of time to explain to us best practices that are appropriate for her age.
I highly recommend them!

My toddler fell and fractured his jaw so that his 3 front teeth were loose and needed to be splinted. Dr Vernon Adams and Dr Dan Ponce were incredibly gentle, very experienced in dental trauma in small children, and came up with a great way to splint the teeth with no pain or anasthesia, and in just about 30 min. An immense relief for us after having had another dentist recommend general anasthesia to put in the splint!
Needless to say, Dr Ponce is now my son’s permanent dentist. He is kind, considerate, gentle, and patient with him and takes his time to do a thorough job. My son still loves going to the dentist, even after all this experience, which is a great testament to Dr Adams and Dr Ponce.
Highly recommend this practice.

Dr. Daniel Ponce treated our 3 year old son, Mateo, a few months ago. A week prior to his first visit to the dentist, Mateo got a package in the mail — A personalized story about his visit to Dr. Ponce that explained all of the tools & procedures. In turn, Mateo was actually looking forward to his appointment!
We were treated wonderfully by the staff upon arrival, and the hygienist did an excellent job teaching Mateo how to brush & floss his teeth each day to avoid «cavity bugs». He left the office armed with his dental kit, complete with a timer to flip each time he started his routine.
When we came back for our follow-​up visit for Mateo’s fillings, Dr. Ponce was calm & comforting in his interactions with Mateo. He showed Mateo his equipment and actually demonstrated the steps of creating a filling using a smiley face on his own thumbnail! Mateo was relaxed throughout the entire procedure due to Dr. Ponce’s perfect child-​friendly demeanor. We’re looking forward to Mateo’s next checkup when we’ll bring our 1 yr. old for her first visit as well!
