The dentists

The people behind the calm.

Four specialists who chose to practice under one roof, so your whole case stays in one conversation.

Founder

Dra. Maria L. Santos

Prosthodontics · Crowns, dentures & smile design

Doctor of Dental Medicine 12 years in practice Prosthodontics residency

Maria founded Opaline after a decade of watching patients apologize for their own teeth. Her rule for the studio came from that: no lectures, no guilt, just a plan. She leads the crown, denture and smile design cases, and still does her own follow-up calls.

Orthodontics

Dr. Gabriel Villaflor

Orthodontist · Braces & retainers

Doctor of Dental Medicine Orthodontics specialty training 600+ completed cases

Gabriel plans every case from records, not from habit, and shows you the plan before a single bracket goes on. Patients keep him for his adjustment-day honesty: what will be sore, for how long, and what progress the month actually made.

General & preventive

Dr. Amara Santelices

General dentistry · Cleanings, fillings & kids

Doctor of Dental Medicine 8 years in practice Pediatric-friendly care

Amara is usually the first dentist new patients meet, and the reason many of them stop being afraid. She handles exams, cleanings and fillings with a running commentary of what she is doing, because silence is what makes the chair scary.

Oral surgery

Dr. Rafael Adarna

Oral surgeon · Extractions & wisdom teeth

Doctor of Dental Medicine Oral surgery training 48-hour follow-up protocol

Rafael does the work people dread, gently enough that his most common post-op review is confusion. He numbs generously, moves unhurried, and messages every surgical patient within 48 hours to check on the healing himself.

"We can't promise you'll love the dentist. We can promise you'll stop dreading it."
