Erica, Vanity, Charity, Cindy, and the dentist made sure I was comfortable. All my questions were answered. I was well taken care of. The music was great.

I loved my time with dr. Atkinson, Eriq , Charity and vanity made me feel right at home. I love the music that they played the energy that they had during my appointment And I also really loved how knowledgeable Eriq was about what I needed done

Google Reviewer

Dr. Atkinson and team are wonderful. His bedside manner was comforting and his way of explaining was thorough. It made me feel a lot better hearing context to my circumstances and talking through future plans for my tooth. And the team who took care of me was great. Eriq was thoughtful and warm in the way he explained after-care to my husband, Vanity was friendly and jovial as she assisted Dr. Atkinson with the procedure, and Charity and Cindy were kind and patient as they handled me with care throughout transitions. And the icing on the cake is the understanding and grace from the administrative staff. Everyone is great, but Michelle has been the person we’ve worked most with. She is solution-oriented and willing to do what she can to make the best of (what can be) tough situations. It has been a phenomenal experience at Culebra Smiles and Orthodontics!

What is the Mouth-Body Connection® ?


The Mouth-Body Connection® refers to the link between oral health and overall health, and the role that the harmful bacteria and inflammation in our mouths play in chronic, systemic disease. That’s why it’s time we talked about more than your teeth. Our office prioritizes your overall health as it relates to your oral health. When we care for your smile we’re also looking out for your entire self.
