About the practice
A small, personal practice — not a dental chain.
Dr. Samar Atto has practiced family dentistry since 2000 and has long been El Cajon's family dentist. As a solo, non-group practice with a small, well-equipped staff, you'll see the same dentist every visit for consistent, thoughtful family care. We especially love treating kids.

“We received great quality work and treated so kindly! I loved that we were not treated poorly because of our insurance. My 9 and 4 year old were seen and she was so thorough with them. I've never seen my kids so comfortable at the dentist.”
