When Dr. Erika Mendez
considered a career path, she knew she wanted to do something to positively
impact the lives of others. That conviction combined with her
compassionate nature made family dentistry a natural choice. Sixteen years
later, she knows she made the right choice. “Dentistry is a rewarding and
humbling career because we’re able to make an impact on our patients’ lives,”
she said. “We’re able to watch our patients go from being very self-conscious
about their smiles to completely confident.”

Dr. Mendez designed state-of-the-art Skyview
Dental with patients’ comfort and care in mind. “We are a family-owned
practice and truly enjoy building lifelong relationships with our patients,”
she says. Whether you need a routine cleaning, have missing teeth or tooth
decay, or want to explore ways to make your smile more beautiful, Dr. Mendez
and her experienced team of dental professionals can help. The practice
offers complete family dentistry in one convenient location, serving the
youngest patients getting their first tooth to adults who may want to explore
Invisalign, veneers, or dentures.

Latest
Dental Technology

Dr. Mendez wants to help patients maintain
the highest level of oral health while making their smile look its best.
She’s proud to use the latest dental technology, including intraoral
scanners, dental lasers, and digital radiographs, to give her patients the
most comfortable experience. And for patients who may feel nervous about
visiting the dentist, Dr. Mendez offers some reassurance. “At our office, you
will see the same team of professionals every time you visit,” she says. “We
take the time to offer the most comfortable experience for all our patients,
and also offer different forms of sedation such as nitrous
oxide.”

professional. The staff is friendly and very helpful. I would highly
recommend Skyview Dental.” Another patient proclaimed, “Dr. Mendez and the
rest of the staff are at the top of their game. I’m very happy to be a
patient at Skyview Dental.”

Welcome Dr.
Bracaglia

As one satisfied patient after another told
their family and friends about their experience at Skyview Dental, Dr.
Mendez’s patient base grew. It wasn’t long before she needed to add a second
dentist to her practice. But not just anyone would do though. She needed to
find someone who shares her patient-first mentality and her commitment to
continuing education — over and above what’s required — always looking for
ways to improve the patient experience and stay current with ever-advancing
dental technology. When she met and interviewed Dr. Alexandra Bracaglia, she
knew her search was over.

“I’m thrilled to have Dr. Bracaglia on
board,” Dr. Mendez said. “Our patients are going to love her vibrant
personality. With her on the team we can welcome new families, while also
continuing to provide the excellent care and friendly service we’re known
for.”
