Why Pomona Patients Feel at Home in Our Chair

Your dentist should feel like a partner in your health. Dr. Afifi and our team ask good questions, explain what we see in straightforward terms, and present treatment choices that fit your goals and your budget. We answer every question before any work begins.

Patients travel from Phillips Ranch, Lincoln Park, and the neighborhoods around Cal Poly Pomona to reach our Chino office, a quick trip down the 71. Every visit, we work toward one goal: you feel welcome, well informed, and confident in your care.

Dental Care That Covers Your
Whole Pomona Family

Chino Valley Smile Center offers preventive, cosmetic, and restorative treatment in a single practice, so Pomona families can get every service from one familiar team. We provide:

General dentistry

Twice yearly exams and cleanings remove buildup and keep cavities and gum disease away. We address small concerns early so they never become big ones.

Cosmetic dentistry

Veneers, Lumineers, and other cosmetic treatments improve the shape, color, and symmetry of your smile. Every result looks natural and fits your features.

Teeth whitening

Professional whitening breaks down deep stains that brushing alone cannot reach. You enjoy a noticeably brighter smile in far less time than with home kits.

Dental implants

Implants rebuild your smile one tooth at a time with a secure, natural looking replacement. They let you eat and speak without worry for years to come.

Invisalign

Invisalign straightens teeth with smooth, clear aligners you can take out anytime. You avoid brackets, wires, and frequent adjustments.

Root canal treatment

Root canal therapy removes the source of tooth pain and keeps your natural tooth in place. We work gently and get you feeling better fast.

Crowns & dentures

We design crowns to protect damaged teeth and dentures to replace missing ones. Both feel comfortable, function well, and blend in with your smile.

Periodontal exams

Periodontal exams check the health of your gums and the bone that supports your teeth. Early treatment stops gum disease before it causes tooth loss.

Oral cancer screenings

We include an oral cancer screening with your routine visit at no extra hassle. The quick check helps catch concerns while they remain easy to treat.

Emergency dentistry

Severe pain, a broken tooth, or a dental injury needs quick attention. Call us right away, and we will work to see you the same day.

Sleep apnea solutions

Custom oral appliances help keep your airway open during sleep and cut down on snoring. Many patients choose them over a bulky CPAP setup.

I have gone to this office a few times since 2021, mostly with my husband that passed. Dr. Afifi, Katie, Sonja, Jessica and hygienist are professional and explained in detail of my treatments. Other staff members were awesome too! Another bonus is there’s a Finance Dept with zero interest for 12 months, depending on what you select. I’m a happy with Dr. Afifi and staff. Give them a try!
