About Your Dentist
Monique Gordon, DMD
“Transforming smiles is not just a cosmetic enhancement; it's a journey towards greater confidence and joy. In the canvas of dentistry, each procedure, whether teeth whitening, orthodontics, or restorative work, is a brushstroke that paints a brighter, happier expression. The reward lies not just in perfecting the aesthetics but in witnessing the profound shift in self-esteem and the improved quality of life that comes with every beaming smile.”
My Mission
“My mission is to transform the traditional dental experience into one that is both comfortable and welcoming. My goal is to alleviate my patients’ dental concerns from the moment they walk through the door and empower them to take an active role in their oral health. Through education, transparent communication, and personalized care, I aim to instill confidence in each individual, making their journey to a healthier, brighter smile a comfortable and rewarding one.”
