#TheSmileZone
Driven by a deep sense of purpose, our founder Dora Pesqueda set out on a mission. A mission to ensure that children in under-served communities throughout Arizona receive quality dental care and oral health education that they rightfully deserve. Throughout many years in the field of dentistry, Dora witnessed firsthand the unfortunate reality that many families and communities face each day. Families struggle to provide access to dental care and preventative services such as: dental screenings, cleanings, and oral health education. These unfortunate barriers included families of remote locations, limited access to a dentist, and their background and socioeconomic status. With an unwavering commitment to making a difference, Dora’s goal to bring an effective mobile dental outreach program has finally manifested. Dora's passion has allowed dental and convenience to meet families through comfort and ease of access.
Our team members also share this passion and firmly believe that all children have an equal opportunity and top-notch dental care without limitations.
"I am grateful to have Raymond Pesqueda and Andres Cano by my side. Together we share a common vision, and we are dedicated to working collaboratively toward our goal. We aim to improve oral health, overall well-being and empower our youth to lead healthier lives. With our mobile ability we can provide access to dental care and reduce caries risk for all uninsured and underinsured individuals in multiple counties and communities throughout Arizona” – Dora Pesqueda
