OVERVIEW
Meet Dr. Santone
Cathy Santone DDS graduated with honors, Cum Laude, from the University of California, Los Angeles School of Dentistry in 1995. She has enjoyed practicing dentistry in Encinitas, CA since graduating from UCLA. Dr. Santone is passionate about creating beautiful and natural smiles for her patients while providing a relaxed and comfortable dental experience from their first dental visit. She specializes in conservative aesthetic and cosmetic restorative dental treatment, and strives to educate each patient through the use of technological advancements such as digital photography and an interactive online practice.
To support the welcoming atmosphere of her cosmetic dentistry practice, Dr. Santone has surrounded herself with a highly skilled and gentle dental team. Our team is comprised of three registered dental hygienists, two experienced Registered Dental Assistants, a professional and courteous Office Manager, and an additional front office assistant. To further ease …and protect our patients’ overall experience with our cosmetic dentistry practice, we use an advanced dental software system to keep thorough and accurate patient records. With the Dentrix dental software, our office is a green dental office, striving for a paperless environment, while already employing various green technologies, such as LED curing lights.
